    Hormuz Watch: Congress, Corruption, and a Very Ballsy Bet

    Dick and Adam break down a chaotic week in American politics — four congressional departures in seven days, from Swalwell's swift fall to a Texas Republican who only left when the margin gave him no cover. They dig into the soldier who bet on his own classified mission in Venezuela, what it reveals about the dangers of betting on anything, and why the genie is very much out of the bottle. Plus: Kash Patel's lawsuit against The Atlantic, a cabinet secretary who took her staff to a strip club, and why the CD5 race is finally getting national money for the first time ever. And yes — the Strait of Hormuz is still closed.

    Ranching While Black; The Outgroup always expands

    This week Adam and Dick are joined in studio by Pablo Capistrano — 20-year Navy veteran, local activist, and co-founder of Civic Shield, a firearm safety program serving vulnerable communities in the Colorado Springs area. In this episode: We start close to home with the story of Freedom Acres Ranch — a Black-owned farm in Yoder, Colorado run by CW and Nicole Mallory. What began as a fresh start after Hurricane Harvey became a years-long campaign of harassment, a bogus felony stalking charge from El Paso County Sheriff's Office, and most recently a drive-by shooting in April 2025. If you want to support them directly, visit their website, buy their meat, book a tour, or share their story: freedomacresranch.com From there we zoom out — to Trump's standoff with the Vatican, JD Vance's theology takes, and what it actually means when self-described Christians tell the Pope he's wrong. Then Pablo breaks down why Orban's landslide loss in Hungary matters for American progressives and what the TISA movement's grassroots strategy can teach us. We close on FISA Section 702, warrantless surveillance, and why a 10-day extension on a spying law should have more people paying attention.
