Back in September President Trump ordered National Guard troops into Washington DC to restore order — a move that was shocking in its effectiveness. But legally and constitutionally, DC is a unique case. The Supreme Court has blocked the President’s attempt to do the same in order to protect ICE agents in Chicago, and your Right Angle team takes a look at the problem from both a practical and philosophical angle.
Late one night last week, Bill was wondering — just in an offhand way — whether it would be cheaper to refurbish the four Iowa-class battleships (all are museum ships today) or simply build new ones. THE NEXT DAY, President Trump announced the first of the eponymously named BBGs: Guided Missile Battleships. After 80 years, the game not only changed… it looks like it actually changed BACK.
Last week was a tough news week: murders and mayhem everywhere you look. Steve Green brings us another homicide case currently being investigated: Lord of the Rings actor Andy Sirkis has decided to remake George Orwell’s classic take on the horrors of socialism, Animal Farm, and turn it into a fun-loving, family-friendly romp on the horrors of CAPITALISM.
And there goes another actor whose work we all used to admire greatly…
New Media giant Netflix has made an offer to buy Old Media giant Warner Brothers for seventy-something BILLION dollars. Many are bemoaning it as ‘the end of the movies as we know them.’ But ‘the end of the movies as we know them’ is not due to some corporate acquisition: the problem is much, much deeper than that.
Not the kids — the devices. Specifically, the social media programs. Australia has decided that the harm caused to young people by apps like TikTok, Instagram, SnapChat and all the rest far outweigh their benefits. Should kids be kept away from social media? And perhaps more to the point: CAN THEY be kept away from social media?
Despite the thicket of regulations and choking corporate tax rates that were once the envy of the world, the good old U.S. of A. somehow keeps managing to not only stave off international economic competition — we’re actually pulling away and widening our lead. How do we do it?
Waymo, whose fully automated, self-driving cars are a common sight in Los Angeles, has recently released it’s raw data on several years of practical, on-the-road traffic accidents. It turns out that even first-generation self-driving cars are at least TEN TIMES SAFER than those driven by humans (and the true number might be much more than that). From a safety point of view, the future clearly seems to favor automation. But is there more to driving a car than just safety?
Elon Musk predicts that in the not too distant future, huge advances in productivity brought on by AI and robotics could create a world where WORK is entirely option. There’s a very good chance he’s right. But if he is, does this road lead us to paradise, or perdition?
How does one describe an existential horror too overwhelming to be put into mere words? YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR BODY! So says former First Lady Michelle Obama. Is she referring to the horrors of war? The mindless terror of genocide? The chaotic and unexpected fury of some natural disaster? Oh no amigos. It’s MUCH WORSE than that.
Oh, the humanity!
How many violent criminals are in a crowd? You might be shocked to discover that even in a major city of several million people that number may consist of just a few hundred. So why not lock THEM up?
Various shell companies are buying properties adjacent to some of America's most sensitive military installations -- including Whiteman, AFB, home of the USAF's B-2 Spirit stealth bombers -- and a shocking number of the REAL owners are... CHINA.
The American Indian, relying on his native self-sufficiency and love of his people, adjusts to the Ways of the White Man and finds a solution to the problem of feeding his people. Sounds like a tale of the Old West… but it’s not. It’s a tale of the New West, and it’s AWESOME.
1The former Vice President has always been known for the power of her intellect.
Hasn’t been a particularly great week for Republicans… or has it? Scott Ott brings happy news that the Left seems to have learned exactly what they need to do in order to NOT win in 2028.
Commie Jihadi — sorry, I meant to say Socialist Islamist — Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor of America’s Number One city. With any luck he will give the idiots on that island asylum EXACTLY what they voted for.
New data has come in regarding the ultimate fate of the universe. The former consensus was that it would continue to expand literally FOREVER — and end in ice. But new calculations show that the expansion is slowing enough so that everything will eventually return to a Big Crunch, and possibly start again — an end in fire. Why do some of us find that somehow… REASSURING?
The pollsters thought it was going to be close. It wasn’t Argentinian president Javier Milei has been given a vote of confidence to continue his bold slashing of the socialist state. Does this bode well for the US Midterms?
Steve Green brings us the latest case of the Left’s astonishing, eternal inability to see the evidence that is staring them right in the eyes: The militant Muslims ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS.
Bill, Steve and Scott go back to the future with some very good news about America’s energy future. Better late than never!
Looks like peanut butter is back on the menu, boys!

Great show. I like to hear what old guys like me are thinking. I didn't used to think I was old until I realized 1984 (when I graduated from highschool) was well you do the math, I have to sit down..
Not transphobic, but I am transapathetic. I do not care if somebody is trans.
In Poland (a conservative country!), prisoners have a duty to work. For their work, they have to receive at least minimal pay (the Polish Constitutional Court has decided that this is a question of their dignity protected by the constitution).1/2 goes towards restitution, from the other half, things such as child/spouse support, insurances etc. are deducted, the rest goes into a savings account (for the time after being released). The punishment is the loss of freedom and inmates return to society after having learned that honest work pays (not only several cents per hours) and having the means to reboot their life outside resulting in a managable low recidivism rate. Maybe the US could copy-paste this conservative solution?
what happened to the episode about China? I had to go to the website to hear it. when it was first posted I could not download or play the episode. it was a great show.
Does mental illness cause liberalism or does liberalism cause mental illness? Maybe we should return to the time when only land-owning men could vote.
Dr. Jonathan Haidt, a self avowed liberal professor has suggested liberals are substantially mentally ill and disabled.
This guy is delusional! Usually as people mature, they become more realistic & responsible! 😂
You can't recount if ballots were destroyed.
"Everyone kneeled together". that was the heart of the American people. BLM was not kneeling. Antifa was not kneeling. They were not healing. They were staging bricks, bats, and Molotov cocktails.
The dems/msm are the one's ripping the country apart. It started immediately when Trump was elected - they couldn't handle it. They clearly don't care about more than half the country who have to work for a living & don't get paid when they don't work. We also do not have lucrative pensions & benefits like gov't receives FROM US, I might add! They are clearly still throwing a temper tantrum because they LOST!
bill we finally disagree....a hunch equals reasonable suspicion. The police do have the right to investigate further. Your comparison of the tax lean does NOT hold water. you forget that driving a car is not a right but a privilege. I was a police officer for 20 years and a criminal defense investigator for 11 years. I am sorry you are just wrong
