These aren’t private-sector deals but government-to-government “sovereign wealth” funds giving the U.S. president direct control of hundreds of billions with no congressional oversight. Chris breaks down why the math doesn’t add up, why Tokyo and Seoul’s voters will never go for it, and why Republicans would be howling if Biden tried the same stunt. Another example, he warns, of party loyalty replacing constitutional principle — and Congress asleep at the wheel.

Chronic disease expenses, pricey weight-loss drugs, and hospital markups are driving premiums through the roof—while early retirees complain their ACA plans cost more than a cruise. Chris rails against the hypocrisy of both parties: Democrats admit Obamacare’s failures yet double down on subsidies, and Republicans sit idle despite a golden chance to scrap the system. From “evaluation add-on” billing scams to “nonprofit” hospitals with sushi bars, this episode drops hard truth bombs about America’s broken healthcare racket and the politicians too cowardly to fix it.

He breaks down the steep traffic and ratings declines across networks like CNN, Fox, and The New York Times — and why independent platforms like Substack are thriving instead. From fake visuals to partisan spin, Markowski argues that legacy outlets have become parodies of themselves, while real journalism has moved elsewhere.

What was pitched as a nationwide movement turned into a poorly orchestrated, almost comical parade of tie-dye and purple hair. Markowski breaks down the funding networks, the permanent “protest industrial complex,” and why, despite millions spent, the effort fell flat — leaving many questioning if anyone was actually convinced.
