What Will It Take to Deal with the Islamic Threat? | 12/15/25

The juxtaposition of the administration's handling of the Syrian massacre of our troops with immigration from Syria in light of the Sydney terror attack is appalling. Today, I go through the details and policy outcomes that should flow from the deaths of Iowa Guardsmen at the hands of Jolani-allied thugs to show how our Syria policy is completely backward. Rather than pulling our troops out, banning Syrian immigration, and allowing Israel to take care of business, we are doubling down on serving as Qatar’s lapdog, continuing immigration from Syria and most Islamic countries, and hamstringing Israel from its much more effective effort on combatting terrorism emanating from Syria. At the end, I touch on Trump’s losing economic message promoting inflation and data centers and how the data-center agenda is actually harming the electronics market and crowding out more necessary and efficient technology investments.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin with a "free-for-all Friday" roundup of my notes for the week on AI news, Trump’s new love for marijuana, the latest on immigration and the courts, and the Indiana legislature’s rejection of redistricting. Once again, this is a Flight 93 presidency. Next we’re joined by Nic Hulscher, epidemiologist at the McCullough Foundation, for a riveting discussion of his analysis of the now-exposed Ford health study showing an overall 2.5-fold increase in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition in vaccinated children relative to the unvaccinated. Hulscher explains why this study is comprehensive and powerful and how a proper analysis of it shows a 549% higher rate of autism-associated neurodevelopmental conditions and a 54% elevation in childhood cancer in the vaccinated cohort. He also shares some new research on the COVID vaccines that prove cancerous fragments of the plasmids can stay in the body for years.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As Republicans continue to get crushed in the polls, they are doubling down on denying inflation and denying the cost of data centers. I discuss how we continue to lose on account of policies and people who are actually antithetical to our values. Next, we’re joined by Reg Hislop, an economist and health care expert, to provide a plan and a vision on the most important economic and fiscal issue. He explains how Republicans continue to push a lukewarm hell plan by accepting the premise of Obamacare while assuming responsibility for it. We develop our ideal health care plan that would cut out the administrative bureaucracy, monopolies, and market distortions. Reg also weighs in on the Fed’s decision to cut interest rates and print more money to purchase Treasurys. He believes this will continue artificially directing money into ineffective AI projects that will create more inflation than productivity.    Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s time for us to jump from the hijacked plane of the Republican Party and parachute into a new party. Today, I ruminate over the infamous “Flight 93” essay of 2016 to show how that election was actually not the inflection moment. This one is. If conservatives do not evacuate from this terrible party, they will lose red states, communists will take over, and we won’t even have a chance to rebuild until at least 2029, after it’s too late. I also discuss how Republicans are suffering worse electoral reprisal from pushing Big Tech economic policy than they would have incurred by fulfilling the original promise to cut the debt and entitlements and rebalance the economy away from the Mag 7 companies to small business.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Generative AI and its accompanying data-center slop agenda are being completely fueled by the Trump administration. This is Warped Speed 2.0, where government shields a failed and dangerous endeavor from all market accountability. We’re joined today by cognitive scientist Gary Marcus, who is one of the foremost AI experts and an early critic of the “scaling” generative AI model. In a wide-ranging discussion, he explains how the hallucination problem endemic to this model was so easy to predict and why the tech companies are now choking on their own sophistry. We also delve into the unsustainable economic model and how the "but China" argument is a straw man. Not only is this model failing to enhance the human experience, but Marcus believes its modus operandi of disseminating “authoritative BS” is destroying the internet and rotting the brains of youngsters.  Learn more about your ad choices.

If conservatives remain trapped in the Trump-Vance GOP, they will continue to suffer all the liabilities of Big Tech venture socialism with all the political liabilities that will turn more voters into Democrats. We need a new party built upon natural living and natural markets to move away from the fake, asset-bubble economy championed by both parties, including Trump. Today, I vividly diagnose exactly how the government uses federal pensions, artificially low interest rates, public and private debt, and numerous regulatory policies to destroy the middle class and small business. The economy is analogous to an AI hallucination bubble that is like a self-licking ice-cream cone and continues to create monopolies. A new party, untethered from the GOP’s past, could crush the Democrats using this message and vision.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by reiterating the shortcomings of Trump’s immigration ban. I also tease out my concerns about the administration’s obsession with Venezuela and why it might be linked back to Qatar. And speaking of Qatar, we’re joined by Krista Schild, Texas director of the RAIR Foundation, for a riveting and frightening presentation on how deeply the Muslim Brotherhood has penetrated Texas (and other red states). From autonomous Sharia compounds and land-grabs to taxpayer-funded radical schools, criminal activity, law, and even GOP politics, Islam has infinitely more influence in red states than you realize. While President Trump and Governor Abbott (R) have issued terror designations against the Muslim Brotherhood, Krista warns that absent enforcement that leads to shutting down CAIR and banning terror finance of Islamic infrastructure, it’s tantamount to nothing more than a press release.  Learn more about your ad choices.

So many of the right-leaning TikTokkers who foisted Trump upon us under the promise of standing for the common man are now realizing that he is doing the exact opposite. But they are forgetting that it didn’t have to be this way, even as they prepare to make the same mistake by canceling the next primary. I go back to the 2022 midterms to show how that election and its aftermath was the ultimate inflection point. We could have rebuilt the party with new faces and new policies, but Trump came back, saddled us with Kevin McCarthy, Mike Johnson, and everyone else, and now his supporters blame all those names for our woes while forgetting the top of the food chain. Next, I discuss Florida’s AI bill of rights and how it contrasts with the cronyism in the White House led by David Sacks. Imagine if we had a party with a leader who actually spoke for the people on issues related to electricity prices, land use, and parental control over chatbots rather than pimping Big Tech. After all, isn’t that what we were promised all along? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Don’t let anyone sugarcoat the GOP underperformance in the Tennessee special election. I offer deep and broad analysis of how last night’s results fit into a clear pattern of the GOP bleeding suburban voters in a way that will result in an electoral slaughter next year. However, there is a silver lining of a red firewall to avoid a complete wipeout, but that will require Trump to change his economic message. One thing he must do is put forward a plan to reverse the hemorrhaging of American jobs. We’re joined today by Amanda Goodall, a labor market expert, who offers an in-depth analysis of why this has been the worst job market for college graduates and how she fears this is a permanent dynamic. Unlike during the Great Recession, there are so many roles being abolished. She explains how the collapse of small businesses and the rise of major corporate monopolies have allowed companies to succeed without critical talent. She believes this is much deeper than simply AI eliminating jobs. We also discuss the continued trend of outsourcing and how Trump’s decision not to cancel the H-1B program is indefensible.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin with a sober analysis of where Republican electoral prospects stand one year past the presidential election. Republicans are facing a nightmare much worse than Democrats ever faced when they were in power because we are suffering the worst of all worlds with the affordability crisis and Trump fatigue. Next, we’re joined by macro economist and portfolio manager Craig Shapiro for a deep dive into the predominant factors causing the generational cost-of-living crisis. Shapiro believes that the only way to bring pricing down is to actually allow for the economy to slow organically and reset. The problem is that our government continues to pump up assets and push more debt, more special treatment that spawns more private debt to keep consumers on the hook for higher pricing. Meanwhile, the government is also putting all of its eggs into this AI data-center moon shot. Not only is this a risky policy, but it will basically drive people into electing more socialists like Mamdani. If we don’t present a more authentic version of capitalism, voters will turn to dark forces in their intensifying desperation.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
