33:01

Send us a text What do you get when the SEC backs off Crypto Currency rules and regulations at the behest of the leader of the Free World? Maybe corruption at a scale never seen before on the planet.

TMC - Episode 65: No Kings - Less MAGA? 28:13

17d ago28:13

28:13

Send us a text The No Kings rally was a great success. There has never been a protest this large in American history! The goal was to raise awareness of the moves being made to consolidate - or simply take - power into an authoritarian executive branch, and to remind everyone America has No Kings. Maybe it had a side effect no one anticipated. Mayb…

Send us a text The National Guard is getting some bad press. This is not the National Guard's fault though.

2M ago33:06

33:06

Send us a text Ask an easy question, and sometimes you get a deep thoughtful response. What killed Charlie Kirk is one of those questions. Not who, but what.

33:52

Send us a text Tariff, a hot button issue for sure. In America, we argue - still - over who pays them (Hint: it is not the foreign nation). We complain about how they increase prices.

Send us a text In the throes of COVID-19 a movement gained power. A silly on, but still, Q Anon grew unexpectedly. In hindsight it would be laughable that it ever happened, except for the damage done to our nation, and families and individuals. Now we have a poor-man's "Q" trying similar tactics when everyone is much wiser, and a pandemic is not ke…

6M ago35:27

35:27

Send us a text A really rare non-political episode - well, not really. It centers on the president, but it is about his mental acuity, and not his politics. To that extent, it really is not political. This episode asks the question, a question I think many people around the world ask: Is Donald Trump dumb, brilliant, and more of an idiot savant? I …
