Plus Starlink's telco takeover... and whether it takes an outsider to fix a broken system.Mike was the Libertarian Party's 2024 VP nominee.

And what does he want delegates in Houston to do that they've never done before?Then we get into Thomas Massie. The most expensive House primary in American history. Was the liberty message rejected... or is the market just not buying yet?And then it gets heated. JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Starlink's 800 MHz play, and $40 trillion in debt. Mike says my math is wrong, not my principle. Is he right? You be the judge.Mike is also the editor of the new book BROKEN: How American Politics Is Driving Civil Unrest, Financial Collapse & War.

    TLPP: The Battle to Publish Pandemic-Critical Content w/ Bretigne Shaffer

    Bretigne Shaffer writes children's horror, superhero graphic novels, and dark comedy about COVID — and she self-publishes all of it, because no traditional publisher (or Netflix) will touch a story that's critical of the pandemic response. We talk about her Halloween story Elixir of Fear — a 19th-century patent-medicine salesman who's also a wizard, a "budgie flu," and a whole town swept up in a fear campaign — why great art about COVID hasn't arrived yet, the people now pretending lockdowns "weren't a big deal," and why she moved her family from California to Kentucky. Plus: the lost world of literary journals, short stories as Hollywood IP, B-movie horror vs. gore, The Exorcist, her upcoming short story collection and her novel Davy Sunshine and the Big Pandemic, the Lady and the Unicorn tapestry — and the burning question of whether female unicorns have horns.

    FF: Why Some Rise Above Their Circumstances While Others Fall to Them

    In this solo episode of Finding Freedom, the John breaks down what positive thinking really means—not vision boards and mirror affirmations, but the deliberate, disciplined practice of directing your mind toward what's possible rather than what you fear. Drawing on Carol Dweck's growth mindset research, Martin Seligman's work on learned optimism, and the neuroscience of the reticular activating system, he makes the case that positive thinking is a learnable skill backed by science, not a personality trait. He explains how the brain's built-in negativity bias—supercharged by modern media and social media—keeps most people tethered to anxiety and self-doubt, and why overriding that default requires consistent, intentional effort. Five practical steps are laid out: auditing your inputs, monitoring your self-talk (including the trick of naming your inner critic), practicing gratitude, using forward-focused language, and surrounding yourself with people who elevate your thinking. The episode closes with a reminder that two people can face the exact same circumstances and get radically different outcomes—because the difference begins not with what happens to them, but with what they tell themselves about it.

    TBNS: Matt Walsh vs. Boomers on Social Security, Microsoft’s H-1B Ban, & the Talarico Texas Senate Shock

    Matt Walsh floated a Social Security deal for boomers this week... you get back what you paid in, but no more. Brian Nichols breaks down why it started the biggest fight of the week, plus Microsoft's H-1B ban and the Talarico Texas Senate shock.So who's actually paying the bill? Brian digs into the Cato and YouGov Social Security poll everyone shared this week, what it really asked, and what Gallup says about how the generation footing the bill is doing compared to the one cashing the checks.Then it's who gets to be here. A federal case out of Minnesota has everyone asking who gets to be a citizen. And JD Vance just suspended Microsoft from the Labor Department's PERM green card program... with the H-1B fight landing right here in Indiana at IU.Plus, two out of three Americans say they want Medicare for All. So what happens to that number once you add a price tag? And with the Kansas Senate race tied, a Libertarian sitting at 3%, and new New York Times and Siena polls out of Texas, Ohio, Alaska and Iowa... are red states getting too comfortable?It all ends on one question. Would you take the deal? Drop a yes or no in the comments.CHAPTERS0:00 Boomers Get the Checks, You Get the Bill1:14 Matt Walsh's Social Security Deal3:32 Entitled Boomers vs. Everyone Else6:56 Who Gets to Be a Citizen?8:59 Microsoft Banned From Green Cards10:46 Medicare for All's Price Tag11:50 Kansas Tied & the Texas Senate Shock13:21 Nobody Trusts Anything Anymore14:42 Would You Take the Deal?SPONSORSThis episode is sponsored by Oasis of Hope Hospital.

    MADD: The French Riot Lie / Cornell R*pe Madness
