Your Car Is a Rolling Wiretap: They’re Tracking Your Calls, Texts & Driving |10|08|26

Republicans squandered their political capital on special interests, corporate monopolies, and Big Tech data centers. Now, Democrats are successfully running to the right of the GOP in red areas by campaigning on anti-corruption and the Epstein files, against corporate monopolies gobbling up farmland, and opposition to Flock security cameras. In this episode, I expose the catastrophic failure of personality-driven politics and explain why conservatives must urgently pivot back to fixed objectives, localism, and the competent governance model seen in states like Florida. I go through numerous campaign ads to show how Democrats are running on our issues. If Republicans continue to surrender issues involving corporate power, privacy, affordability, and government accountability, Democrats will keep trying to capitalize on the resulting voter frustration.

America's jobs recession is getting harder to ignore. While politicians celebrate economic growth and billions of dollars in AI investment, American workers are struggling to find jobs and college graduates are being shut out of entry-level positions.Today, I sit down with labor market expert Amanda Goodall to expose the "fake" economy. We break down how capital is being deliberately misallocated into unproductive debt, why the highly touted Iowa steel plant Mesabi Metallics might just be a political mirage, and why the vast majority of new jobs are either part-time, low-paying construction gigs, or government-adjacent. Discover why the AI CapEx bubble is masking a systemic jobs depression — and what happens when the ventilator is turned off. Sustainable economic growth must come from real productivity, productive investment, and businesses meeting genuine economic needs — not simply steering capital into valuations and debt. Republicans will continue to lose if they fail to evacuate from the Big Tech bubble.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The conservative movement has no shortage of podcasts, influencers, angry voters, or political commentary. But where are the new ideas? Where are the strategies that actually deliver results? And why do so many conservative voices continue to support a Republican establishment that repeatedly undermines the very issues they claim to champion? Today, I deliver a forceful critique of Conservative Inc., MAGA influencers, and the state of the Republican Party. Conservative media has become trapped in an endless cycle of blind loyalty to access, outrage, online feuds, and political personalities — while neglecting the hard work of building an effective movement. I also analyze the three primary factions among Con Inc. influencers and how they are all either toxic or ineffective. Instead of endlessly recycling the same grievances while perpetuating them through failed personality contests, the movement needs original thinking, coherent strategies, and leaders willing to fight for tangible outcomes.

While all eyes are glued to the top of the ticket, a quiet — but massive — political earthquake is rumbling down-ballot. Today, I sit down with Chaz Nuttycombe, the preeminent state legislative forecaster and executive director of State Navigate, to unpack a shocking trend: Republicans are bleeding critical power in the state legislatures that actually govern the country. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars pouring into campaigns, the granular polling reveals a landscape where historical conservative dominance is receding. From shifting suburbs to an unpredictable rural turnout, this is the horse-race analysis where "the rubber meets the road." Chaz warns that Republicans could lose over 400 state legislative seats and lose control of chambers in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia, with some other possible surprises in the mix. State legislatures shape the laws that govern everyday life, influence congressional redistricting, and determine the balance of political power within each state. Yet these races receive only a fraction of the attention devoted to Washington. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Your car is no longer just a vehicle — it is a rolling wiretap. The moment you plug your smartphone into your dashboard, modern infotainment systems silently download your entire text history, call logs, and location data. This isn't a glitch; it’s a lucrative business model designed to sell your private life to data brokers, Big Tech, and insurance companies. I’m joined by automotive expert Lauren Fix to pull the curtain back on the hidden surveillance network operating inside and outside your vehicle, and how government mandates have made cars more expensive, lower quality, and highly invasive. Lauren also warns how Flock and Axon cameras are tracking drivers across the country, sometimes producing wildly inaccurate information that has resulted in innocent people being pulled over, arrested, and even jailed. We also cover how government policies, such as EV mandates and bright headlight regulations, have made cars so much more expensive and less enjoyable and how they have enabled subscription fees that negate consumer ownership of cars.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The promise was to expose and dismantle the weaponization of the Department of Justice. But has the DOJ actually changed? I’m joined by January 6 attorney and former DOJ lawyer Jonathan Gross for a deep dive into what happened to the promised effort to root out DOJ weaponization. Nothing has changed in terms of personnel, with many of the same bad actors who persecuted innocent Americans continuing to stay on. We also discuss the January 6 prosecutions, coerced plea agreements, overcharging, selective prosecution, the treatment of Antifa and ICE-related cases, and Gross’ lawsuit seeking accountability for people he says were harmed by DOJ weaponization. The stakes, according to Gross, go beyond January 6. The central question is whether the federal justice system has actually been reformed — or whether the same machinery remains in place for whoever controls Washington next.  Sadly, it’s the latter.

While Washington celebrates the "AI Revolution," a massive financial and infrastructural bubble is quietly being built in our back yards — and it is threatening to take the U.S. economy down with it. I’m joined by utilities expert and former Wisconsin public service commissioner Dan Eastman to expose the ugly reality behind the nationwide data center land-grab. It’s not just the fact that we don’t have the energy the companies claim they will pay for; it's a venture socialist grift that is actively crowding out everyday Americans, and Republicans are handing Democrats a massive electoral victory by blindly supporting it. We break down the data-center bubble, circular financing, utility impacts, government favoritism, AI hype, capital misallocation, and why the coming correction will be far more painful than previous bubbles, given the state of the debt, inflation, and bond markets. As always, it will be Main Street that will pay the price of both the collapse and the inflation from the bailout.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, I expose the GOP and Trump’s perpetual campaign mode — and the conservative media ecosystem that keeps rewarding politicians for talking about future victories instead of demanding results from the power they already control. And now the conservative establishment is already moving on to the next candidate, elevating JD Vance years before the next presidential election. Vance talks the talk but will never demand the GOP use its power NOW to repeal H-1B. The Right constantly says the stakes are existential. But if the stakes are really that high, shouldn’t Republicans be governing like it? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The "lesser of two evils" strategy isn't just failing — it's actively handing the deepest red states in America over to the political Left. While conservative media influencers and "Con Inc." obsess over national swing states and pretend to fight the establishment, they remain totally silent as Soros-backed, Big Tech-funded candidates quietly capture GOP primaries in deep-red territory. Because the conservative base is repeatedly told to vote for the "R" to avoid splitting the vote, the Left has found a cheat code: Run as a Republican. It is doing so with increasing success. I’m joined by Rebecca Bextel, a Wyoming Republican activist and donor who is running for governor on the Constitution Party ballot line because the GOP nominee is a Soros Democrat. Bextel explains the math behind her campaign and why she believes the race offers conservatives an opportunity to challenge the conventional Republican-vs.-Democrat framework without splitting the vote. Wyoming provides a useful test case for my broader thesis: If conservatives never challenge Republican candidates in primaries or, where circumstances permit, support alternative candidates in general elections, the Republican Party will continue to deteriorate while conservative voters remain locked into the same electoral choice.
