    How Should States Fight The Feds?

    There is a lot of talk about deep divisions within the US these days, so we decided to ask the question...if a state did want to prepare itself for the worst…what would be the necessary steps?

    The Real Reason Behind Campus Protests

    The Real Reason Behind Campus Protests

    We have arguably not seen college protests like this since the 1960s. They are becoming more disruptive, more violent, and increasingly more extreme in their demands. So today, we are going to address some important questions…What is actually going on? Where is it actually taking place because it isn't just on University campuses? Why is it actually happening? And what, if anything, should be done about it?

    Does Congress Fear the Intel Community?

    Does Congress Fear the Intel Community?

    In an interesting interview between Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson, Tucker suggested that it is a foregone conclusion that our elected officials are afraid of the intelligence community. This, of course, suggests that members of Congress are in some way being blackmailed…so here is the question…how do we separate crackpot conspiracy theories from that which is entirely plausible? And that is the question we are going to discuss and answer in this episode of Making the Argument.

    Will The Right Retaliate?

    Will The Right Retaliate?

    Those who have gone after Trump in court, among other places, are now voicing concern that if Trump gets elected, there will be retaliation. In times past, you would have heard plenty of people on the right condemning such action as a principled and a slippery slope…but what happens when the slippery slope is already here? Today we will discuss what right-wing retaliation might look like if Trump gets elected.

    Israel vs Iran: Who Would Win?

    Israel vs Iran: Who Would Win?

    Iran has attacked Israel directly, launching over 300 drones and missiles into Israel, targeting a combination of military and civilian targets. But with minimal effect. The question is, what will Israel do next? Will the US get involved in a significant way, or should we? And could tiny Israel actually win a war against Iran?

Authentic Americanism

Always timely and grounded explanations of issues from the perspective of the core principles of the Republic.

So Refreshing!

I recently came across this podcast having looked to see if Nick did anything other than brilliant, wise-guy shorts. 😄 I’ve been catching up listening to back episodes and have been challenged and charged. It’s so refreshing to hear a podcast that discusses and debates from an angle of Truth and Godliness. Thank you for all of your work, Nick, not just on this podcast but across many avenues of influence. …from a fellow (gag) politician trying to make changes for right.

Debating in Good Faith

So refreshing! Thorough, good-faith debating and fair acknowledgement of complex considerations, still broken down to bedrock principles. This is a show that promotes understanding instead of one that inflames. Plus, Nick is the only one I know who uses the word “problematic” well 😆.
