Episode 150 Nimarata vs Kamala in 2024?

Summary:

Friedrich Hayek wrote in The Road to Serfdom that, in government, the worst will always rise to the top. Well, in 2024, the nominees for president could very well be shrieking neocon harpy Nimarata (Nikki) Haley versus cackling Kamala Harris.

Episode 147 Washington’s Amateur Hour Could Destroy Israel with Col. Douglas Macgregor

Summary:

Washington, D.C. has again embroiled America in a Middle Eastern war while its involvement in Ukraine continues to fail. This new war not only threatens to expand into a regional conflict but could threaten the survival of Israel itself. Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins Tom to lend his expert analysis on both conflicts.

Guest bio:

Col. Macgregor is widely known inside the U.S., Europe, Israel, Russia, China and Korea for both his leadership in the Battle of 73 Easting, the U.S. Army’s largest tank battle since World War II, and for his groundbreaking books on military transformation: Breaking the Phalanx (Praeger, 1997) and Transformation under Fire (Praeger, 2003). Col. MacGregor holds an MA in comparative politics and a PhD in international relations from the University of Virginia and in 2020 was appointed by President Trump to serve as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense, a post he held until President Trump left office. He has been a rare voice of sanity on U.S. foreign policy among people with his expertise and experience, most recently on the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Episode 146 Republicans: Debt Now Ok Because ‘Muh Israel’

Summary:

Republicans in the House made history by removing Speaker Kevin McCarthy after he worked with Democrats to pass yet another omnibus bill to fund the government, claiming omnibus bills are a key reason federal debt continues to spiral out of control. But adding $14 billion more to debt in a standalone bill was ok with them because “muh Israel.”
