News, current events, history, and politics... without the slant of the mainstream. On the Middle Theory podcast, Micah Hanks provides an independent, nonpartisan look at what's happening in the world, and always with a nod to the lessons history can teach us. The tone is often dark, but with a penchant for humor, aimed at creating images in the mind and colors in the listener's ear while diving into the issues of today. Hanks takes an approach that is skeptical and highly caffeinated, asking hard questions about news, politics, cultural trends, historical events, and other relevant topics. Middle Theory is willing to ask questions and address viewpoints that many listeners will disagree with, but also cause them to think critically and challenge their own ideas and ideologies. Join us for a mental foray into the "radical center" on Middle Theory.

  1. "Domestic Terrorists"

    4D AGO

    "Domestic Terrorists"

    This week, as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announces the end of its immigration enforcement crackdown in Minnesota, we examine the stories of American citizens who have been injured or negatively affected by the operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, and later mischaracterized as "domestic terrorists."  As "Operation Metro Surge" comes to an end in Minnesota, questions linger about the effectiveness of DHS operations amid recent testimony provided to members of Congress by U.S. citizens whose lives were impacted by ICE activities. These include Marimar Martinez, a Chicago teacher's assistant who was shot five times by an ICE agent in the days after she became a target of DHS surveillance based on her online activities, and Aliyah Rahman, a disabled woman who was dragged from her vehicle during recent ICE activities in Minneapolis. Like many Americans in recent days, both of these U.S. citizens were labeled "domestic terrorists" by the DHS; we examine the mixed messaging, lies, and potential cover-up of evidence exposing wrongful actions taken against Americans like Martinez and Rahman, as well as questions over the legality of similar activities that apparently targeted several U.S. citizens during recent DHS operations. Finally, we also look at a recent bombshell report in the Wall Street Journal that exposes chaos in DHS leadership, and finally, the creeping authoritarianism evidenced by recent events that unfolded in the skies over El Paso, Texas.  This episode of Middle Theory is dedicated to the American citizens who have lost their lives, have been injured, or whose rights and property have been infringed upon during recent immigration enforcement activities undertaken in the United States.  Image Credit: Chad Davis/Wikimedia/CC 4.0 If you like Middle Theory and want to help support the show, you can donate to the program here:   DOLLARS FOR DONUTS Jonathan Walsh  Jon Haskins   Connie Fletcher  Tania Biswas SHOW NOTES HOMAN: Trump border czar Tom Homan announces Minnesota immigration surge is ending  MARTINEZ: Lawyers of Chicago woman shot by feds say documents show DHS lies about investigations TESTIMONY: Text of Written Statement from Marimar Martinez AUDIO: Marimar Martinez describes being shot 5 times by CBP agent  DHS Panics Over New Bodycam Footage of Marimar Martinez Shooting | The New Republic  PEPPER BALLS: Judge orders restrictions on federal tactics against ICE protesters after Chicago-area pastor shot with pepper balls  RAHMAN: Minneapolis police chief says video of ICE arrest "pisses me off" - CBS News TESTIMONY: Text of Written Statement from Aliya Rahman AUDIO: Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE  ACTIVIST: Woman dragged from car by ICE agents in Minnesota ID'd as LGBT and racial justice activist  Much of DHS set to shut down as Democrats demand new restraints on ICE  A Pilot Fired Over Kristi Noem's Missing Blanket and the Constant Chaos Inside DHS - WSJ  NOTAM EXCUSES: The Mystery at the El Paso Airport JOIN US: REACH OUT TO MIDDLE THEORY To send us feedback, you can email us here.

  2. Jeffrey Epstein: An American Haunting

    FEB 9

    Jeffrey Epstein: An American Haunting

    This week, following the release of a massive trove of documents by the U.S. Department of Justice related to Jeffrey Epstein, we examine the main takeaways and look at why the file release is raising new questions about the disgraced financier and sex offender's death.  The sordid story of Jeffrey Epstein, as well as the intrigue surrounding his fortune, his alleged associations with the U.S. Intelligence Community, and connections to American politicians and other high-profile individuals, has become a story that won't go away. In recent months, the late sex offender's past associations with President Donald Trump, as well as those he had with former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and many others, have seen renewed focus leading up to the release of millions of new documents by the DOJ related to its investigations into Epstein. This week on Middle Theory, we examine the main takeaways from the newest release amid ongoing independent reviews by media outlets (including this one), as well as why some new information coming to light has placed renewed scrutiny on the circumstances leading up to Epstein's death in a New York correctional facility on August 10, 2019.  This episode of Middle Theory is dedicated to the victims of crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein and his network of associates.  If you like Middle Theory and want to help support the show, you can donate to the program here: DOLLARS FOR DONUTS Matt Moninger  Declan McKiblen  Vincent Sorise  Tania Biswas  Jeffrey Lightner Neil Wilson  SHOW NOTES EPSTEIN: What 3 million new documents tell us about Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein | CNN Politics    TRUMP: How Trump Appears in the Epstein Files - The New York Times  WORST: Latest Epstein files release: Allegations of rape, murder, worse, involving Donald Trump  PIZZAGATE: The New  Files Are Reopening the Pizzagate Box | Vanity Fair  ESPIONAGE: Epstein's sex empire was 'KGB honeytrap': Pedophile financier had talks with Putin REMOVAL: DOJ Removes New Epstein Files That Mention Wild Trump Sex Allegations, Including Rape  REDACTION FAIL: Epstein victims' lawyers ask court to order DOJ to take down Epstein files website MORE: Epstein files must be taken down, victims demand  THE NIGHT EPSTEIN DIED: In cell where Jeffrey Epstein died, a scene of disarray that never underwent thorough inspection, experts said - CBS News  MYSTERY INMATE?

  3. The Killing of Alex Pretti

    The Killing of Alex Pretti

    This week, within days of the tragic shooting death of Minneapolis resident Renee Good, America has reached a tipping point in the aftermath of a second shooting incident involving the killing of Alex Pretti by agents with the Department of Homeland Security.  As outrage over Pretti's death ensues, we examine what videos of the tragic incident reveal, as well as the context provided by additional videos that have revealed earlier encounters between Pretti and ICE agents in Minneapolis. We also examine the contradictory statements provided by federal officials in the aftermath of the killing, and how the controversy reveals odd shifts in political ideology among Americans, as the killing of Pretti has seemingly prompted debate that conflicts with standard political views on gun ownership, the overreach of federal power, and a range of other issues.  This episode of Middle Theory is dedicated to the memory of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and to all those whose lives have been impacted by the recent events unfolding in Minneapolis and elsewhere in the country.  If you like Middle Theory and want to help support the show, you can donate to the program here:   SHOW NOTES TIMELINE: Minute-by-minute timeline of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti - ABC NEWS  AUDIO: NOEM Noem Speaks About Pretti Killing  AUDIO: DHS PRESS CONFERENCE: Bovino discusses Alex Pretti shooting LIAR LIAR: Jake Tap per Flags Deposition Lies After Bovino Challenge - Mediaite  NOT THE FIRST TIME: Alex Pretti Broke Rib in Earlier Encounter with DHS  VIDEO: Alex Pretti's first encounter with ICE agents  WHITE HOUSE BRIEF: White House blames shooting of ICU nurse in Minnesota on Democrats CHANGES: Timeline of Trump officials' changing comments on Pretti killing - USA TODAY  VISUAL INVESTIGATION: Visual investigation of shooting at odds with official statements - CBS MISINFO: Misinformation spreads about Alex  Pretti online  CARE FOR VETERANS: ICU nurse fatally shot by Border Patrol in Minneapolis cared for veterans BYE BYE BOVINO: Greg B ovino Loses His Job - The Atlantic  ON LEAVE: Federal Officers Who Fired at Pretti Placed on Leave - The New York Times  INVESTIGATION: DoJ opens federal civil rights investigation into killing of Pretti - The Guardian  BACKLASH: Trump reshuffles his Minnesota operation after backlash from second fatal shooting  DUELING MESSAGES: Trump Called for 'De-Escalation' in Minneapolis.

    Fire and ICE

    It's time to get back to work.  Chaos has erupted in the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota, following a deadly confrontation between federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and a 37-year-old mother of three, Renee Good, who was shot and killed by Jonathan Ross, a 10-year ICE veteran. In our analysis of the tragic events that led to Good's killing, we examine what is currently known about the circumstances leading up to the incident, as well as responses from state, local, and federal officials, and what multiple independent analyses of videos captured as the events unfolded have revealed. This episode of Middle Theory is dedicated to the memory of Renee Good, and to all those whose lives have been impacted by the recent events unfolding in Minneapolis and elsewhere in the country.  If you like Middle Theory and want to help support the show, you can donate to the program here.

  5. This is Middle Theory

    05/12/2022

    This is Middle Theory

    This week, we ask how we became so polarized, and look at the underlying reasons for division in our culture in a discussion about the meaning behind the "Middle Theory."   Can't we all just get along? What are the roots of the conflicts we see in the world around us... from the geopolitical stage, to our neighborhoods and communities? Although polls over the years offer mixed results, a recurring theme is that voters often tend to be more moderate than the politicians they vote for. Why, then, does there appear to be so much polarization in society, both in politics, and in other areas of life? One result has been that many profess to be politically independent, entirely apolitical, or political "centrists" in an attempt to avoid the polarized viewpoints that so often predominate discussions in the media. And yet, an analysis of the range of ways people define "centrism" even gets confused... how can we have a discussion over the merits, or lack thereof, of a political philosophy when no one seems to agree on a definition for it? This has been one of the long-running themes of the Middle Theory podcast, and one that we explore in depth on this special edition of the podcast. This... is Middle Theory.  UKRAINE FUND: Support Ukraine Relief DOLLARS FOR DONUTS A special thank you to those who donated to the podcast this week: Jon Haskins Victoria Pinderski Jonathan Taylor John Lipartito James Malone If you like Middle Theory and want to help support the show, you can donate to the program here:   We also offer SUBSCRIPTION accounts for those who would like to make recurring monthly payments to Middle Theory.

    Nuclear Options

    This week, growing concerns over Russia's nuclear rhetoric in recent days have experts looking at how far Vladimir Putin might go in his quest to conquer Ukraine.  This week, as recent polls (finally) show Biden's approval ratings are on the rise, we take a look at what it could mean heading into the mid-terms in November. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has provided reporters with a few vague ideas of what he plans to do with Twitter... putting him into a unique position in terms of political perception and leanings. Then, shifting our attention to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, world leaders have expressed concerns about simulations broadcast on Russian state media depicting potential nuclear strike targets throughout Europe. How far might Vladimir Putin be willing to go as his back is increasingly pressed against the wall, and could this even escalate to the point of weighing the dreaded nuclear option?

    Elon Musk and the Battle for Twitter

    With Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, controversy ensues over issues of transparency and freedom of speech, and whether the platform can improve under Musk's leadership. This week, the White House announced that Vice President Kamala Harris has tested positive for COVID-19, which may be the least of her problems based on a new book that reportedly reveals tensions between she and other members of the Biden Administration, including the President. We also look at the current situation involving statements this week by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, which shed new light on the U.S. military's role in the war in Ukraine. Elsewhere, controversy has erupted around Elon Musk's sudden acquisition of Twitter... and many are concerned about what this means for the future of the company, and issues related to free speech and transparency. We look at all of these stories this week on Middle Theory.  UKRAINE FUND: Support Ukraine Relief DOLLARS FOR DONUTS A special thank you to those who donated to the podcast this week: Robert Cramer Jennie Vongvith  Jessica Riley  Jennifer Garland  Kevin Webb  Mark Hankins II  Stacia Schwartz Ali Buchan  Brian Davis If you like Middle Theory and want to help support the show, you can donate to the program here:   We also offer SUBSCRIPTION accounts for those who would like to make recurring monthly payments to Middle Theory.

    Holy War

    As Ukrainian officials say the "Battle of Donbas" has begun, we look at how one controversial Russian cleric has urged for "holy war" as the conflict in Ukraine wears on.  This week, news that record numbers of retirees are fleeing to countries like Portugal is making headlines amidst reports about economic woes around the world, and news about the latest strain of the coronavirus sweeping the United States. That, in addition to the unsurprising news that Alex Jones' INFOWARS company has filed for bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials have now said that their fears about battle in the Donbas region have come to fruition. However, the views of one controversial Russian cleric take center focus in this week's analysis, and the notion that some in Russia view the invasion that has led to the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians alike is tantamount to a "holy war." We explore this, and other themes in recent news this week on Middle Theory.
