Missouri Commissioner Declares War on Flock Cameras | 6/24/26

Are you being tracked every time you drive or even walk in your neighborhood? Camden County Presiding Commissioner Ike Skelton reveals the dystopian reality of Flock cameras, the AI surveillance state, and why Big Tech is invading rural America with subsidized data centers. Skelton shares his shocking story of facing felony charges simply for taking down a privately owned Flock camera that violated county ordinances. He explains how government grants and public-private partnerships are bypassing the Fourth Amendment to create "vehicle fingerprints" and auditory surveillance networks. We also expose the hidden agenda behind the massive push for AI data centers, wind, and solar farms in deep-red flyover country.

WARNING: The Bipartisan Housing Bill Forcing Section 8 into Red America | 6/23/26

Republicans just passed the most consequential housing bill in years — and almost nobody is paying attention. Sold as a solution to housing affordability and corporate home ownership, the legislation instead expands federal housing programs, incentivizes local zoning changes, promotes higher-density development, and gives Washington unprecedented leverage over local communities. This sweeping new housing bill uses federal grant money as a "carrot and stick" to pressure local Republican politicians and developers into destroying local zoning laws. The ultimate goal? To overdevelop exurbs, suburbs, and rural areas with high-density, multifamily, and Section 8 housing and “smart cities.” Yet because of the idolatry of Trump, we have no men standing in the breach to fight this.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Big Tech Power-Grab: How AI Data Centers Will Break the Grid | 6/22/26

What happens when Big Tech joins with utilities companies — the ultimate monopoly — to negotiate secret power deals? The American consumer loses. I sit down sits with former Wisconsin Public Service Commissioner Dan Eastman to expose how Big Tech companies and utility monopolies are pushing unprecedented electricity demands onto America's aging power grid. Eastman explains why utilities are incentivized to overbuild power infrastructure, how taxpayers could be left holding the bag for billions in stranded assets, and why sudden data center disconnections could create dangerous grid reliability problems. We also discuss secret NDAs, local government approvals, transmission line expansions, land-grabs in rural America, and the growing alliance between Silicon Valley and regulated utility monopolies. None of this is free-market. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

The Iran War Ended in Surrender — Now What? | 6/19/26

Foreign policy doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker, so I dedicate a full hour to discussing the outcome of the Iran war with Tablet magazine’s Park MacDougald. He helps me analyze the fallout from the Iran agreement, the future of Israel and Lebanon, the role of JD Vance, and whether America is repeating the same failed Middle East strategy used by Obama and Biden. Unfortunately, what you are seeing is not an exercise in America First or even isolationism or neutrality in the Middle East. It’s a far-left Wilsonian view that intervenes on behalf of Islamic enemies and will further entrench us in the war for years to come. Also, if our trillion-dollar military can't keep shipping lanes open against Iran, what happens when China moves on the shipping lanes in the South China Sea?  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Great AI Reckoning: OpenAI, Data Centers, and the Coming Crash … or Bailout | 6/18/26

The AI industry promised a technological revolution. Instead, some of the biggest players are burning billions of dollars while demanding more data centers, more energy, more subsidies, and more government support. Meanwhile, their models — and the business model undergirding it — are rapidly failing. I’m joined by AI pioneer Gary Marcus to expose the growing cracks in the generative AI business model. OpenAI is reportedly losing tens of billions, while major tech companies slash token usage, cut spending, and confront the reality that the economics simply don't add up. Real AI innovation is moving away from the data center and LLM model at a time when companies are tripling down on debt-driven spending to prop it up. The future of AI will not look like ChatGPT. It is those tech bros, and the politicians who support them, who are holding up true technological innovation. Separately, but relatedly, I break down the latest political capitulations on the Iran deal, immigration, and how the "America First" agenda is being sold out to corporate interests.
