    Episode 312: Charlie Kirk

    New York State Senator Dean Murray joins me to discuss the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10th 2025. Charlie Kirk was a conservative political commentator and founder of Turning Point USA. He was assassinated while engaging in open and free debate with college students at Utah Valley University. We discuss where we can go as a country after this, how his assassination has stoked fear of utilizing our first amendment rights for fear of reprisal and comment on the shock we have regarding the cruelty shown to Mr. Kirk in death.

    Episode 311: Social Media Cleanse

    I deleted all social media apps from my phone, the results are shocking. I have found that I am more present around loved ones, less anxious and irritated, and have greater stores of energy. The peace found from purging my phone has reduced my screen time from 6.5 hours to barely 2 hours of screen time, resulting in clearer thought processes, mental peace and increased willingness to socialize. I decided to embark on this change as I was experiencing physical pain from using my phone all day, mental fatigue from constant consumption and seeing the negative effects this consumption has had on my peers. Currently, all social media platforms I exist on are accessed by my computer. I have not deleted any accounts, just changed how and where I access them. I decided to make the internet a place again, rather than an all encompassing experience. SUPPORT THE PODCAST: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/A7HU3KBC2PXDE Check out our amazing sponsors!

    Episode 310: Illegal Immigration Activists are WRONG

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is legally allowed to Expedite Deportation, deport without a trial, under 2 specific conditions according to IF11357: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF11357 Due Process is accorded to all who live, work or visit in the United States. It is only under these specific premise' that illegal immigrants in these categories can be removed expeditiously. I also cover the immoral, yet legal, revocation of Haitian refugees Asylum status in the United States. Covered as well is the irony of illegal migrants attacking soldiers and police officers of the United States while waving the flag of a country they fought so desperately to escape.
