Car Trouble, Selective Outrage & Global Takeovers

Professor Dan and Steve kick things off with everyday chaos—morning car trouble, towing companies refusing long-distance hauls—and spiral into bigger conversations fast.

They also break down global power talk—from reports around Maduro’s arrest to U.S. rhetoric on Greenland and why it echoes China–Taiwan dynamics—before closing on freedom of choice, vaccines, and why some PhD doctors are treated as more “credible” than others with the same credentials.
