International Flavor: Where the Truth Tastes Better

Samuel Trapp

International Flavor: Where the Truth Just Tastes Better International Flavor is a live, no-nonsense morning broadcast that takes you well outside the comfortable lies of Western mainstream media. Airing Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. (Central) on damradio.com/live, the show is then archived as a podcast at internationalflavor.com for listeners who want to rewind, re-listen, or share what they probably won’t hear anywhere else. This is an international affairs and civil liberties show with teeth. We dig into wars, sanctions, regime-change games, color revolutions, BRICS, de-dollarization, energy politics, and trade disputes — always asking who actually benefits and who gets crushed. You’ll hear Russia’s side of the story in clear English, along with perspectives from China, the Global South, and dissident Western voices that polite TV panels pretend don’t exist. If you’re looking for a “Putin is evil, Washington means well” bedtime story, this is not your program. At home, International Flavor turns the same harsh light on the American legal and political system: state bar politics, judicial “selection” commissions, agency overreach, back-room regulatory enforcement, Sunshine Law stonewalling, and the quiet ways people’s rights, businesses, and reputations get destroyed while everyone is told it’s “just procedure.” From Missouri’s bar and ATC battles to federal surveillance and speech restrictions, the show pulls case files, statutes, and real stories together and says out loud what most lawyers only say off the record. It isn’t all geopolitics and courtroom trench warfare. International Flavor also looks at real estate, money, and everyday survival — from Florida and Missouri markets to international property and migration — and how politics, sanctions, and war ripple straight into your mortgage, your grocery bill, and your retirement. On other days, the program dives into language, film, music, and culture, often unpacking Russian-language interviews, songs, and movies, explaining the subtext Western coverage never bothers to translate. Hosted in a direct, sometimes sharp tone, International Flavor doesn’t pretend to be “neutral.” It tests Western narratives against inconvenient facts, brings in sources that are usually filtered or banned, and lets listeners decide for themselves. No scripted talking points, no fake balance — just a consistent rule: if a story affects power, war, freedom, or money, we follow it until the mask slips. If you’re tired of being talked down to, and you’re ready to hear the things you’re not supposed to hear — from Moscow to Miami, from courtrooms to conflict zones — International Flavor: Where the Truth Just Tastes Better is your morning habit.

    Tariff Takedown, Berlin’s Beijing Bend, and BRICS Bickering: Trump’s IEEPA Loss, Canada’s Hedge, and a Russian Music Coda

    The Supreme Court clips Trump’s emergency-tariff wings, Germany eyes China out of necessity, BRICS gets a reality-check, and Canada quietly “de-risks” the U.S. Live from the freezing Lake Ozark Real Estate of the Art Studio (coffee turning to ice mid-sentence), Samuel Trapp breaks down the Supreme Court’s February 20 ruling that IEEPA doesn’t authorize sweeping tariffs—then walks through why the dissent thinks tariffs can be “regulation,” not just taxation. From there, it’s the global ripple effect: Germany’s pressure-driven pivot toward China, the BRICS debate (real counterweight or just a loud forum), and Canada’s Mark Carney-style hedging—diversifying defense and economic exposure as U.S. policy turns more transactional. Closing with a Russian music detour and anthem-stadium vibes. International Flavor: Where the Truth Just Tastes Better.

    Русский старт International Flavor: мосты вместо истерики, американский взгляд, Украина, ядерные двойные стандарты, культура и звонки в эфир

    Первый выпуск «Международного вкуса» на русском — знакомство и заявка на формат: каждую пятницу прямой эфир, разговор честно и без идеологических фильтров. Сэмюэл Трэп — русскоговорящий американец, бывший военный переводчик по тематике РСМД и ядерных инспекций — объясняет, почему мосты важнее истерики. В программе: цензура и блокировки, культура подозрений на границах, “перемирие без решения” по Украине как рецепт новой войны, двойные стандарты вокруг ядерной темы (Иран vs. другие), и бытовая иллюстрация западной бюрократии — счет за электричество как модель «государства чек-листа».

    $645 Ameren Bill Rant + Tucker “Detained” in Israel? Border Games & Bureaucratic Checklists

    Samuel Trapp opens the mic with the ancient American tradition of righteous complaining—because sometimes the only “renewable energy” in the room is pure irritation. The trigger: an Ameren UE bill north of six hundred bucks, stacked with peak/off-peak charges, fuel adjustments, efficiency add-ons, and even a “Rush Island retirement” line item that sounds like a sitcom punchline until you realize you’re paying it. From local pain to global weirdness, you pivot into travel and politics: Tucker Carlson’s story of being stopped at Ben Gurion after interviewing Ambassador Mike Huckabee, and your blunt take on how border discretion works in the real world—especially when you’re the “interesting” passport in the line. Along the way: Prince Andrew/Epstein headlines as live-TV distraction, a quick culture riff on Russian film, and a reminder that understanding a country means understanding its soundtrack—Viktor Tsoi/Kino’s “Gruppa Krovi” on one end, Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” on the other. You close by teeing up Friday’s Civic Outlaws theme: the “checklist state”—when an agency form quietly becomes the law, and citizens get billed (financially and legally) for rules nobody voted on.

    Language warning: explicit political profanity is discussed/quoted from public remarks.

    Language warning: explicit political profanity is discussed/quoted from public remarks. On today’s International Flavor, Samuel Trapp breaks down how “BRICS is dead” headlines are being used as pure engagement bait—and why the underlying claim is far thinner than the post implies. From there, he connects the dots between maritime seizures, sanctions escalation, and renewed talk of an Arctic/Baltic blockade narrative being sold to the public. Next: the Greenland “buyout” storyline gets put in historical context—America’s long record of territorial purchases and the not-so-subtle pressure campaigns that often came with them. Then Munich: Zelensky’s sanctions demands and rhetoric, the ugly conscription backlash on the ground, and claims that Ukraine is relying on NATO-linked “civilian contractors” to fly F-16 missions. The episode also hits Poland’s near-unanimous amnesty bill covering mercenary activity dating back to 2014.
