  • POLITICS

Mainly political, but not always; I hope you’ll find whatever I talk about both entertaining and educational. The name is from a weekly column I wrote in the early 90s, and is a subtle reference to my being “behind enemy lines” - a (then) Republican surrounded by Democrats; that situation has worsened, as I now watch both Democrats & RINOs they slowly turn The Garden State into a S******e...I believe in true Republican Principles, not in the Establishment GOP these days. So I describe myself as a Constitutional Conservative Libertarian. And thankfully, I’m not as alone as I once thought.

    2613 Our Guest will join us in 3 weeks

    The podcast begins with a warm welcome me; then I introduce our scheduled guest, Taki Theodoracopulos, author of "The Last Alpha Male, the Amorous Pursuits of a Poor Little Greek Boy." Despite technical difficulties preventing Taki’s appearance, the hosts express excitement about his fascinating backstory, hinting at his privileged upbringing. The hosts draw parallels between Taki and the "world’s most interesting man" from a popular commercial, emphasizing the intrigue surrounding his life experiences and relationships. As the conversation shifts, Michael shares a humorous personal story about dealing with water issues in his basement caused by a malfunctioning dryer. The exchange highlights the everyday challenges we all face. The podcast then transitions into a serious discussion about the Epstein files and their implications in the political arena. We delve into the complexities of public perception, especially concerning high-profile figures like Donald Trump. The sheer volume of documents released—millions of pages—does not equate to guilt for those mentioned, we emphasize the need for careful analysis over sensationalism. This underscores the importance of understanding the context behind political narratives. We then touch on positive news regarding salary increases outpacing inflation, a rare occurrence in today’s economy. There are positive implications of this for the middle class. We then draw attention to the resurgence of trade schools as viable paths for education and employment. This highlights a shift in societal values, suggesting that practical skills may offer more stability than traditional college degrees in the current landscape. We then address the gender identity, particularly in relation to recent events involving trans individuals. Michael quotes Kevin Sorbo, emphasizing the necessity of addressing mental health in discussions about gender dysphoria. We advocate for a balanced approach to these discussions, advocating for healing rather than affirmation of dysphoria. The episode encapsulates a variety of themes that resonate deeply in today’s world. From personal anecdotes to political and social commentary, we try to offer listeners a comprehensive view of contemporary issues. Like and Share the episode; and SUBSCRIBE to the Podcast!

    Hochul's Healthcare Monopoly: Unmasking Corruption in New York's Home Care System

    Unmasking Corruption in New York's Home Care System: A Deep Dive into the CDPAP Controversy We speak with Julian Hagman, Chief Operating Officer of Caring Professionals. He sheds light on the intricacies and challenges of New York’s Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), revealing deep-rooted issues of corruption and mismanagement that have far-reaching implications for the elderly and disabled communities in the state. Julian introduces CDPAP, a program designed to allow consumers to hire personal assistants of their choice, primarily serving elderly and disabled populations. With over 32 years of experience in the industry, Julian emphasizes the importance of continuity of care. He explains that the program should provide a seamless service experience, minimizing gaps that could disrupt care for vulnerable individuals. The conversation takes a critical turn as Julian discusses the alarming growth of CDPAP and the state's legislative response. Despite the program's success, the state government, led by Governor Kathy Hochul, opted to move towards a Request for Proposal (RFP) process for selecting a statewide fiscal intermediary. This shift not only sidelined local providers but also opened the door for out-of-state companies, namely Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), to dominate the market. Julian explains that the RFP process was flawed, as it required bidders to have operational experience in other states, while specifically excluding New York's own providers. This decision raised eyebrows, especially considering that the winning bid went to an out-of-state company, thereby diverting funds away from local communities. Julian's frustration is palpable as he notes the lack of transparency and communication from the state regarding these significant changes. Julian goes on to reveal shocking details about the apparent collusion between PPL and state officials. With evidence of pre-bid meetings between the Medicaid director and PPL, and a draft budget naming PPL as the chosen intermediary, it becomes clear that the RFP process was compromised. Julian's ongoing lawsuit against PPL aims to uncover these truths, highlighting the urgent need for accountability in how taxpayer money is managed. The fallout from these decisions has been severe. Julian notes that many consumers lost their caregivers due to the chaotic rollout of PPL’s services, forcing them into higher acuity care levels that were not their preference. This shift contradicts federal mandates for consumer choice, putting vulnerable populations at further risk. Julian passionately advocates for the need for reform within the CDPAP system, urging the state to implement guardrails to prevent fraud and protect consumers. His commitment to exposing corruption reflects a broader call to action for stakeholders to demand better governance and transparency in the home care sector. The conversation reveals a troubling narrative about the future of home care in New York. As local providers face exclusion and consumers experience diminished choices, the need for reform is more pressing than ever. Key takeaways from this episode include the importance of local provider engagement, the necessity for transparent governance, and the vital need for advocacy in protecting the rights of the elderly and disabled.

    2607 Escaping Corruption & Taxation of Blue States - and other topics

    We start with insights from U-Haul's statistics on migration patterns. Texas and Florida lead as the most popular states for inbound moves, California tops the list of states people are leaving. The hosts highlight that California has experienced six consecutive years of population decline, primarily due to high living costs and regulations that push residents away **The Economic Decline of England** Roy Pitta reveals a surprising statistic: if England were a state, it would rank 51st in economic performance, trailing Mississippi. **New York's Housing Crisis** In New York City, a troubling trend is emerging: residents increasingly unable to afford living in the city. Government policies aimed at controlling rent may lead to a situation where the city manages most properties, turning them into public housing. Roy poses a critical question: who will bear the costs of maintenance for these properties? This could lead to increased taxes and a decline in living standards, ultimately affecting those it would allegedly help. **The Millionaire Tax Folly** Transitioning to Washington State, the podcast addresses the push by Democrats for a tax on millionaires. Penalizing financial success could drive wealthy individuals to seek refuge in states with more favorable tax structures, like Florida & Texas. As the hosts discuss, these states are likely to see a significant influx of new residents, while blue states may suffer from dwindling resources, ultimately affecting social welfare programs. Roy suggests that states like New Jersey and Illinois, which continue to elect Democratic leaders, may face increasing challenges as their populations dwindle. Conclusion: As citizens flee states with heavy taxation and restrictive regulations in search of better opportunities, the implications for both individuals and state governance are profound.
