363-Why Left Versus Right Misses The Real Fight With James Keena
Send us Fan Mail We step back from tribal politics and argue that America’s survival depends on individual sovereignty, moral responsibility, and refusing to outsource our agency to politicians and media. James Keene explains why elites versus everyone else is the real fight, how crises accelerate control, and what lawful leverage could pull power back closer to people. • why left versus right distracts from deeper power structures • James Keene’s path from Marxism to capitalism and limited government • why a free society needs moral accountability and personal responsibility • how shifting burdens to others introduces coercion and violence • elite capture of Washington through campaign finance and the revolving door • national risk signals: debt, distrust, war without end and surveillance expansion • why voting alone does not fix corruption and what engagement can look like • the 9th and 10th Amendments, states’ rights and constitutional guardrails • subsidiarity as a practical way to protect individual freedom • why pure democracy can become mob rule and erode inalienable rights • “follow the money” as a test for political truth Like, comment, subscribe And then when you give a review, if it’s one or four stars, how shall I specifically improve my podcast or the episode And if it’s a five-star, what should I continue to do Make sure you give it on the Apple Podcast or Spotify And if it’s like donating, it’s $3 a month Follow James Keena at.

362- Data Centers On The Ballot
Send us Fan Mail We connect three tech stories to everyday life: why data centers are suddenly a midterm election landmine, why AI agents create a new kind of bank security risk, and why New Mexico’s massive Meta penalty still may not change Big Tech behaviour fast. We argue for transparency, stronger AI guardrails, and personal data protection while keeping the focus on what hits your bills, your accounts, and your privacy. • data centers moving into mainstream politics through affordability, water use, power demand and local pushback • cross-party tensions as candidates recalibrate positions on data center permits and community opposition • concerns about NDAs, limited transparency and residents learning too late about projects • AI agents as the next phase after generative AI, with banks struggling to verify human versus automated logins • password leakage risk, unpredictable agent behaviour and why blocking automation may be the safest default • potential mitigations like password managers brokering access without sharing credentials • New Mexico’s $25B Meta penalty tied to Cambridge Analytica allegations and the long appeal fight ahead • the open question of whether financial penalties can meaningfully deter trillion-dollar platforms Comment, subscribe, share this episode. This is another guestless tech episode, and give a review. If it's one star, one to four stars, how shall I improve? Then if it's a five star, what should I double down in? Okay, and then uh yeah. And then another thing I'm gonna ask, I'm gonna start doing this. So if you have any guests that you think is great for this podcast, search for the next season. You could let me know. And of course, donate, donate as well if you want to. And remember, it's completely optional.

361- Law And Order Voting For 2026 with Ken Good
Send us Fan Mail We argue that public safety and crime policy should be non-partisan, and we explain why voters are rejecting “soft on crime” governance in cities and states. We also challenge activist talking points on prisons, drugs, and polling, then land on what it means to vote with quality of life on the line. • why consequences and enforcement drive voting behaviour • prison abolition rhetoric versus real-world incentives and power • why compromise fails when activists refuse to admit policy trade-offs • climate policy framed through measurable impact and cost-benefit analysis • progressive prosecutors, public backlash, and the shelf life of soft-on-crime DAs • drug decriminalisation lessons, Narcan debates, and fentanyl risks • marijuana legalisation, black markets, and uneven county enforcement • mental health, counselling, stress, and avoiding relapse • why identity politics shrinks coalitions and pushes parties to extremes • polling credibility, push polls, media bias, and midterm election stakes Vote, vote, vote. Vote law in order. Vote law in order. Vote for public safety. Check out our old episodes Episode 106 Episode 241 Follow Ken at ...

We also look at how a San Francisco set zombie game promotion triggered backlash and what that teaches developers about using real locations. • GTA 6 timeline talk and why expectations are sky high • Rockstar scaling staff and engine changes to speed development • Vice City and Leonida built from Miami style influences • Rumours of less restrictive missions and more flexible gameplay • Criminal profile system that changes police responses • Celebrity radio playlists and how to use star power well • Apple opening the door to Meta AI and why rivals should notice • AI competition with China plus the need for sensible guardrails • Tenderloin zombie game backlash and a developer’s pullback strategy Sources https://www.gtabase.com/gta-6/news/ https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/15/apple-meta-partner-ai.html https://abc7news.com/post/tenderloin-night-shift-zombie-shooting-game-set-san-francisco-neighborhood-taken-offline-backlash/19946006/ Support the show Follow your host at YouTube and Rumble for video content https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUxk1oJBVw-IAZTqChH70ag https://rumble.com/c/c-4236474 Facebook to receive updates https://www.facebook.com/EliasEllusion/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliasmarty/ Some free goodies Free website to help you and me https://thefreewebsiteguys.com/?js=15632463 New Paper https://thenewpaper.co/refer?r=srom1o9c4gl PodMatch https://podmatch.com/?ref=1626371560148x762843240939879000

358- Netanyahu And The War Economy With Eran Evron
Send us Fan Mail We challenge mainstream framing of Israel and Gaza by tracing a provocative, source-driven case that Netanyahu’s incentives and alleged corruption help explain why war keeps expanding. We argue that “follow the money” reveals blind spots in Western media and raises uncomfortable questions about who benefits when peace collapses. • why key facts about Israeli politics do not travel to American media audiences • the “follow the money” counter-terrorism model and why payroll matters • the Harpoon unit, terror financing crackdowns, and what it means to shut them down • the kompromat theory and how foreign leverage could shape policy choices • interpreting Trump’s “you’d be in prison” remark as a clue, not a punchline • the JCPOA Iran deal, casus belli, and how diplomacy can be replaced by escalation • allegations around Qatar cash transfers and the deliberate strengthening of Hamas • the claim that allowing threats to grow feeds the war economy and defence spending • separating pro-Israel from pro-Netanyahu, and insisting violence against innocents is never justified Like, comment, subscribe, you know, the whole corny social media YouTube thing.

We trade extreme narratives for practical discernment, showing how tech can support ministry when love of neighbour and integrity stay central. • Christopher’s work at the intersection of Christianity and emerging technology • Miami as a diverse test case for church life in a growing tech hub • Building welcoming communities for skeptics, atheists, and outsiders • Virtual reality church experiments and what they teach about mission • Why “AI is all good” and “AI is all evil” both fail • The need to speed up ethical discernment alongside AI development • Education gaps, hype cycles, and why people struggle to define AI products • Practical sermon prep uses like drafting transitions and saving time • Keeping pastors accountable in a world where congregants can fact-check instantly • Equity concerns around paid AI access and tiered tools • Trust as a long-term practice that makes hard conversations possible Check out his website, all right, and get this, get this book, especially if you’re a theologian or even in the pews, get it.

We lay out a concrete plan for sharing AI gains through an AI tax, a sovereign wealth fund, and reforms like a four-day work week and lower college costs. • why AI threatens entry-level jobs and changes the value of a degree • taxing AI use to fund shared benefits instead of pure layoffs • sovereign wealth fund logic and compounding as a retirement tool • four-day work week as a buffer for transition and human time • AI hallucinations, verification habits, and the risks of scams • what critics will challenge and what makes reform politically hard • petitions for early retirement, universal healthcare, and college savings • comparing US college costs with Canada and arguing for three-year degrees Like this episode, share, subscribe.

We also dig into what hormone replacement therapy actually changes, how youth care is typically handled, and why policy debates go off the rails when people cherry pick science. • defining assigned sex at birth versus dominant sex hormone • why hormone dominance drives performance changes over months • capability based categories as a fairness framework for sport • why separate divisions risk “separate but equal” segregation logic • the numbers problem, including NCAA testimony and why scale matters • activism versus education, and how bad debates create bad policy • youth healthcare realities, puberty blockers, consent, and WPATH guidance • why chromosomes alone do not define most traits people argue about • the danger of politicised science, including cherry picked experts • testosterone as a policy shortcut, and why it can backfire in military readiness • where to follow Dr. Amethyst DeHerrick and what links we plan to add Give her an honest rating of one to four.

354- Giants, Watchers, And Zero Chill Scripture (Enoch Part I)
Send us Fan Mail I read and react to the first 50 parts of the Book of Enoch from my Ethiopian Bible and explain why its themes feel missing from the Christian mainstream. I connect Enoch’s harsh visions of judgment to modern cravings for justice and to my own honest confession that I have been drifting away from God. • why the Book of Enoch may have been removed and why that matters • Enoch’s reputation as righteous and “taken” to heaven • archangels named directly and why that challenges some Christian comfort zones • the Watchers story, giants, and forbidden knowledge like sorcery and astrology • vivid imagery of punishment, separation of righteous and wicked, and “sorted” spirits • the “Son of Man” language and the debate over messianic meaning • frustration with real-world injustice and the hope of consequences beyond this life • my struggle with distraction, convenience, and rebuilding spiritual focus through prayer, meditation, and research Leave a you know a like if you're on YouTube, share this, subscribe, comment.

We argue for learning AI skills without falling for fear marketing, support stricter limits for younger students, and question what counts as a fair “refund” when tariffs distort costs. • AI automating tasks rather than whole jobs • Rising compute and integration costs making full replacement harder • Why “AI literate” workers stay in high demand • Rehiring and the value of institutional knowledge • NYC restricting generative AI use for K to 8 students • Screen time limits and the case for protecting early learning • Letting teachers use AI for curriculum support but not grading • The challenge of stopping AI use at home without parent involvement • Nintendo’s up to 30% sale tied to tariff related refunds • How tariffs and component demand push console prices up If you enjoy this episode, give a five-star review.

Send us Fan Mail I pick up an Ethiopian Bible and wrestle with what it means when one Christian tradition preserves more books than the Bibles most Americans and Brits grow up with. I lay out the missing texts that grabbed me, why I think they were removed, and how chasing the “missing puzzle pieces” might actually pull me closer to God. • why the Ethiopian Bible stands out as a larger biblical canon • the list of missing books I’m most curious about, including Enoch, Jubilees and Psalms 151 • what those texts can add, including more detail, more characters and more spiritual context • my theories on why certain writings were removed during canon debates and the Reformation • why censorship makes people more curious and more suspicious • giving Ethiopians credit for preserving texts many churches did not • how the Book of Enoch connects to fallen angels, Nephilim and forbidden knowledge • why I prefer spiritual instincts, meditation and careful interpretation over denomination wars • my critique of organised religion, judgement culture and religious violence • what I plan to read next and how listeners can steer future solo spiritual episodes Give a rating, okay? Give if it's one of four stars, how could this podcast improve? If it's of if you give it five stars, give one reason why you think it was great.

348- The American Dream Reality Check With Chris Rivers
Send us Fan Mail We talk with Christopher Rivers about why the American Dream feels broken for working people who do everything “right” and still can’t get ahead. We connect war, wealth, media incentives, and local civic action into a grounded case for hope that requires effort, not wishful thinking. • Rivers’ background from working-class Connecticut to Iraq and Afghanistan to West Point and Georgetown • Why door knocking changes political conversations more than social media • How party labels distort reality in state and local politics • Wage stagnation, rising housing costs, student debt, healthcare costs, and the affordability crisis • Why cable news functions as entertainment and how that fuels outrage • The role of billionaires, fundraising, and money in politics • What “You Shouldn’t Have to Kill to Get Ahead” means and why violence is a dead end • The biggest misconception about meritocracy and why parental wealth predicts outcomes • Why local elections and primaries are where individual votes matter most Go to ChrisRivers.com.

347- Stop Writing AI Slop With Russell Van Brocklen
Send us Fan Mail We bring back Russell Van Brocklen to share a step-by-step AI workflow that cuts token spend while raising the quality of emails, reports, and client deliverables. We also get honest about the trade-offs: agentic AI can boost output fast, but it still demands judgement, review, and boundaries to avoid burnout. • treating dyslexia and other traits as advantages when paired with the right tools • avoiding subscription bloat by splitting pre-work and deep thinking across models • defining roles so the manager model evaluates and delegates rather than “doing” • prompting for fast guidance first, then an exhaustive bullet plan, then execution • rewriting plans to be as token efficient as reasonably possible • using catastrophic mode, maximum correction mode, and full polish mode • breaking big deliverables into many controlled runs to reach publishable quality • comparing AI spend to the real cost of hiring and why cheap labour backfires • hiring ruthlessly for competence while staying humane on time off and life events • using AI to strengthen recordkeeping, tax documentation, and audit readiness Go to DyslexiaClasses.com. Give a review if it's one of four stars, give one specific, at least one specific criticism on how I could improve. If it's a five-star, give a specific reason why it's a five-star.

346-We Pick American Idol Better Than Congress with Tom Joseph
Send us Fan Mail We sit down with Tom Joseph to unpack a moneyless nomination system designed to weaken donor control and make House races competitive again. We walk through how an app-based contest and approval voting could help voters pick candidates based on issues instead of party power. • Tom’s path from systems engineering to remote-first business building • Why safe districts and gerrymandering create “predetermined” elections • The American Idol analogy for making nominations competitive and engaging • How issue matching and approval voting can narrow huge candidate fields • Why incumbency, party fundraising threats, and campaign war chests block accountability • What “free and equal elections” means and why it is foundational • Secure mobile voting options, identity verification, and practical safeguards • A realistic rollout plan starting with targeted districts and scaling over cycles If you enjoyed this episode, give it five stars and then give at least one reason why it’s a five star.

345- Why Mystical Experience Slips Through Organized Religion with John Bliss
Send us Fan Mail We push past easy takes on faith and atheism and ask what gets lost when spiritual experience turns into an institution. We also explore a bigger frame for meaning where the goal is not self-importance but contributing to humanity and practicing love as something real. • John’s origin story as a skeptic focused on fundamentals and “what’s most important” • Conformity, money, and why most people follow the default life script • Organized religion as a net positive that can still miss the mystical core • Maslow’s “peakers” vs “non-peakers” and why peak experiences are hard to translate • The problem of evil, hell theology, and internal contradictions in doctrine • Bible canon, missing texts, early church politics, and curiosity about Enoch • Swedenborg’s spirit world, influence on thoughts, and character-based heaven and hell • Humanity as a superorganism and why tragedy can look different at different scales • Practical meaning: become great at your gifts and help others become great • Love as currency and selfishness as a root of suffering Go to skepticapress.com, go there, go support him. So, my listeners and viewers, if for the review, you you can rate it Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Follow John Bliss at....

344-Touch Grass Before You Prompt Again With Menil Vukovic
Send us Fan Mail We challenge the AI hype by asking what we gain in productivity and what we lose in creativity, attention, and basic human skills. We argue for moderation: use AI as a tool, keep your brain in the driver’s seat, and don’t let convenience replace learning, walking, and real-world connection. • Why extreme positions fail and why balance matters in tech and life • Too many apps, consumerism, and choice paralysis as a product problem • Privacy trade-offs and why “free” platforms can make you the product • Touch grass as a serious digital wellbeing practice, not a meme • When AI helps creativity versus when it replaces it • How AI changes software engineering productivity for juniors and seniors • A real company experiment: YOLO phase, no-AI phase, full-AI phase, then hybrid • Why AI and military use feels uniquely dangerous due to nondeterminism • US versus Europe approaches to AI regulation and the case for a middle ground • AI music, Spotify competition, and the messy future of copyright • Startup takeaways: learning from failure, defining success, and compound effort over time When you rate this podcast, rate it an Apple Podcast, Spotify. If you give one to four stars, give one way I could specifically improve. And then if it's a five stars, give at least one reason that, you know, one reason why it's great.
