    S5 E06 - Defunding TSA - Go For It!

    Send us Fan Mail TSA Pay Freeze, Media Silence, and the Case to Defund TSA Instead   The script argues that President Trump has identified Democrats as terrorists for using intimidation tactics like shutting down Homeland Security funding, including TSA, but wrongly negotiates with them. It claims media coverage is missing typical manipulation, fearmongering, and questions about security impacts despite unpaid, overworked TSA staff and concerns about threats such as Iran. The speaker suggests the absence of panic indicates TSA may be unnecessary, citing private airport security in parts of the EU and U.S. airports like Sarasota and San Francisco, and argues TSA focuses on guns while 9/11 used box cutters and future threats are better stopped by ICE and the FBI. It proposes a constitutional amendment prioritizing tax spending for essential functions so military, Coast Guard, and TSA are paid before welfare and bureaucrats.   00:00 TSA Pay Chaos 00:53 Defining Terrorism 01:49 Three Tiers Explained 03:02 Democrats As Terrorists 04:06 Shutdown As Proxy War 04:44 Missing Media Narratives 06:46 Private Security Works 08:50 Where Is The Fear 10:56 Do We Need TSA 13:48 TSA Fights Last War 15:58 Flight 93 Changed Everything 16:54 Window Dressing Security 18:26 Guns Versus Batteries 19:32 Fixing Tax Priorities 22:00 Inversion And Closing #governmentshutdown #TSA #IranWar #Trump #WelfareState #ICE Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

    S5 E05 - Iran Conflict and The Thieves Among Us

    Send us Fan Mail War, Welfare, and the Storehouse: Priorities Behind the Iran Spending Debate   A critique of Senator Bernie Sanders’ claim that U.S. strikes involving Iran cost about $22 billion and that the money should have funded healthcare, housing, early childhood programs, and student debt relief, arguing this framing treats security as optional and redistribution as government’s primary purpose. It contends government exists first for collective functions individuals can’t provide alone—national defense, border control, law enforcement, disaster response, and basic stability—and warns that accumulated public resources attract constituencies that see stockpiles as surplus, including many who pay little or no federal income tax. It cites a Minneapolis pandemic-era feeding scandal as an example of redistribution enabling fraud, criticizes Democrats as “fun parents” expanding benefits while lowering expectations, and contrasts finite military actions with an endless “war on poverty,” noting SNAP alone costs roughly $100 billion annually and that most federal spending already goes to social programs.   00:00 War Costs and Priorities 00:57 The Redistribution Impulse 02:13 Sanders and the Iran Bill 03:18 What Government Is For 04:19 Stockpiles and Human Nature 05:47 Modern Storehouse Politics 07:52 Fraud and Clan Loyalty 09:17 The Fun Parent State 10:35 Exit Strategy for Poverty 11:52 Who Pays and Who Votes 13:07 Welfare vs Defense Reality 16:22 Shutdowns and Skewed Urgency 17:59 Survival Before Comfort 18:52 Closing Thanks #IranWar #SNAP #BernieSanders #GovernmentShutdown #EuropeanUnion #MAGA Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

    S5 E04 - Glyphosate Roundup - MAHA Myths versus Science

    Send us Fan Mail Roundup, RFK Jr., and the MAHA Moms: How Bad Science Spreads After a dinner conversation with a woman repeating seminar claims about Roundup, the host explains that “Roundup” is now a brand name and some products contain glyphosate while others don’t, so labels matter. He argues many heated debates about glyphosate are driven more by politics, activism, and symbolism than by evidence, noting court verdicts aren’t the same as scientific conclusions. He describes glyphosate’s plant-specific mechanism (blocking the shikimate pathway) and contrasts IARC’s 2015 “probably carcinogenic” hazard category with regulators’ real-world risk assessments, citing EPA, EFSA, and Health Canada conclusions that typical exposures are unlikely carcinogenic. He compares glyphosate’s public-villain cycle to past scares like saccharin and Alar, discusses agricultural trade-offs versus more acutely toxic herbicides like paraquat, and urges questioning without rejecting science. 00:00 Maha Moms And Roundup 00:34 Dinner Table Debate 02:21 Roundup Brand Confusion 03:53 Science Beyond Politics 06:14 Protective Instincts 07:57 How Glyphosate Works 12:09 Linked To Cancer Claim 13:08 IARC Hazard Vs Risk 16:34 Past Chemical Panics 18:30 What Regulators Conclude 20:13 Farm Risk And Tradeoffs 22:44 Risk Anxiety And Meaning 24:19 Be The 10th Man #Roundup #MAHAmoms #antivaxxers #glyphosate  Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

    S5 E03 - Japan, Longevity, and Ice Cream: Debunking Dietary Fables

    Send us Fan Mail Should You Eat Like the Japanese to Live Longer? The Longevity Diet Myth   This episode challenges the popular claim that Americans should copy Japanese, Mediterranean, or French diets to gain longevity, arguing the logic relies on correlation and the false assumption that all bodies respond identically to food. Using lactose intolerance and lactase persistence as a clear genetic example, it argues digestion and metabolism vary across populations and that rapid dietary shifts can create “evolutionary mismatch,” illustrated by POWs in Vietnam developing malnutrition on rice alone. It critiques moral panic over “ultra-processed” foods and the scapegoating of unprocessed red meat, while noting global dietary extremes and inconsistencies in what gets praised or blamed. The script also questions longevity obsession, pointing to suicide and fertility issues in Japan and arguing Blue Zones reflect purpose, community, moderation, and faith more than diet alone, concluding there are no unhealthy foods—only unhealthy diets.   00:00 Longevity Diet Hype 01:53 The Simplistic Eat Like Them Claim 03:36 Milk Genetics And Lactose 07:05 Digestion Is Not Uniform 09:03 Evolutionary Mismatch Story 10:13 Red Meat Numbers And Myths 11:54 Beef Logistics And Nutrition 14:36 Ultra Processed Moral Panic 15:27 Following The Logic Too Far 17:02 Culture War And Genetics 19:48 Blue Zones Beyond Food 21:07 Meaning Over More Years   #DietFads #AmericanLongevity #BlueZones #JapanDiet #FrenchParadox #redmeat #UPF #TheTenthMan Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

    S5 E02 - Immigration and Due Process: Unpacking Constitutional Misinterpretations

    Send us Fan Mail Due Process, the Constitution, and Immigration Enforcement: A Contract, Not a Slogan The script argues that phrases like “freedom of speech,” “separation of church and state,” and “due process” are commonly quoted as slogans and misapplied when separated from the Constitution’s full text and structure. It claims the Constitution is a contract that applies to “We the People of the United States” and is meant to protect citizens from their own government, not to extend Bill of Rights protections to illegal aliens. The speaker focuses on the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause, quoting “no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law,” and contends that immigration enforcement—refusing entry, detaining, or removing illegal immigrants—does not deprive them of life, liberty, or property because they can leave and are only prevented from remaining in the U.S. The script further asserts that the due process clause is aimed at preventing lynchings and mob rule in capital-crime contexts, not guaranteeing elaborate procedures for removal, comparing removal to being ejected from Disney World. It uses analogies (reading sock labels, car-rental contracts) and examples (Pearl Harbor, “hot pursuit,” the “Maryland Father” Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, claims about asylum and benefits, comparisons to Nazi Germany and Venezuela) to argue that critics are creating a constitutional crisis by promoting mob rule, while ICE is enforcing the rule of law, concluding with calls to support ICE and law enforcement and to impeach Democrats for sowing sedition. 00:00 Due Process in the Headlines: Why the Constitution Isn’t a Slogan 00:33 Misquoting Rights: Free Speech & Religion Taken Out of Context 04:26 Read the Label: The Socks Story & Plain-Text Constitution 07:21 What a Constitution Is: A Contract for ‘We the People’ 08:22 Do Non‑Citizens Get Constitutional Rights? Who the Contract Covers 14:02 Fifth Amendment in Context: Life, Liberty, Property (Not Entry or Benefits) 15:46 Detention, ‘Self‑Deportation,’ and the Deterrence Argument 21:57 The Real Target of Due Process: Capital Crimes & Anti‑Lynching Protections 22:57 Disney World, Hot Pursuit, and Why Enforcement Isn’t a Due Process Violation 26:20 Wrap‑Up: Mob Rule vs Rule of Law, ICE, and the Call to Action #ICE #DueProcess #Immigration #TheTenthMan Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

    S5 E01 - Distant Horizons: Understanding the Cultural Cost of Immigration

    Send us Fan Mail The Unseen Impact of Migration: Who Stays and Who Leaves This episode explores the oft-overlooked perspectives in the immigration debate, examining why some societies resist emigration while others face an 'exit mindset.' It delves into the broader consequences of migration, such as economic dependence on remittances and the loss of human talent. The discussion highlights the contrasting motivations and outcomes of migration and questions the long-term impact on both departing and receiving nations. The central theme revolves around the cultural and economic shifts resulting from migration and the importance of helping societies retain their people to preserve their cultural heritage. 00:00 Introduction: The Immigration Paradox 00:33 Who Wants to Come to America? 02:00 The Modern Immigration Debate 02:49 The Impact on Origin Countries 05:18 Economic Consequences of Migration 07:28 Talent Drain and Its Effects 10:01 Cultural and Social Implications 10:53 The Future of Human Flourishing 13:39 Conclusion: Inspiring People to Stay #ICE #ImmigrationDebate #Remittances #BorderPolicy #EconomicReality #Migration #PublicPolicy #thetenthman #culturedrain #humancapital Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

    S4 E43 - TikTok, Baby Formula, and the Truth About Church Charity

    Send us Fan Mail A viral TikTok video accused Texas churches of ignoring a mother who “needed baby formula,” and the media ran with it. But almost nothing in that story holds up under basic scrutiny. In this episode, The Tenth Man unpacks: Why calling megachurches only proves nothingHow internet critics smear all Christians with a sample size of oneThe biblical difference between personal generosity and institutional obligationWhy Jesus addressed individual hearts rather than creating a charity bureaucracyLuke 3:14, Matthew 19:16–22, Matthew 25:14–30, Matthew 6:19–21, Luke 12:16–21, and other key passagesWhy Judas and the money box warn us about centralized charityHow churches handle fraud every week—and why her story raised red flagsThe massive, unreported charitable footprint of ordinary congregationsMy own parish’s Thanksgiving and Christmas outreach, told only because “let not your good be evil spoken of”Why SNAP dollars don’t magically “add to the economy”And how attacks on Christianity will ultimately strengthen the Church, not weaken itA careful look at Scripture and common sense shows what the media refused to report:  Jesus never commanded churches to give out whatever a stranger demands—but He does call every person to examine his own heart.

    S4 E42 - Electric Vehicles Part 2: Bridging the Gap Between Makers and Buyers

    Send us Fan Mail Electric vehicles promise convenience, clean energy, and a futuristic driving experience — but the engineers and regulators pushing the transition still don’t understand the lifestyle they’re demanding from real drivers. In Part Two of this series, The Tenth Man takes an EV on the road: across the state, through a blizzard, and into the baffling maze of buried touchscreen controls and charging confusion. Why can’t remote start work while the car is plugged into unlimited power? Why is pre-heating the battery hidden behind one specific navigation app? Why does every tech designer think eliminating buttons is “progress”? EVs are fast, quiet, and fun.  But the human-factors engineering? A disaster.  The infrastructure? Still lagging behind.  The policies? Written by people who don’t drive the technology they’re forcing others to adopt. EVs aren’t the problem.  The system around them is. Electric Vehicles: Part Two — on The Tenth Man. Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.
