Chainsaw Economics It has been two years since Javier Millei took charge of Argentina. Have his results been the devastating chaos some expected? Or is it an amazing improvement they managed to accomplish in only two years? We talk about what has changed and how his results are showing a large improvement in many categories, including inflation, economic growth, exports & trade, employment, and poverty level. We compare his results to the US as well as discuss other times in history that leaders have taken big actions. We also discuss the changes in gold and silver price as well as Saul Alinsky's 8 levels of control that transform a nation to communism. Too many countries are taking actions that will remove freedoms and send their citizens into poverty. While that makes it easier for governments to control people, it is not better for the people themselves. We can not change anything if we do not acknowledge that the problem exists. Join us as we talk about the good, the bad, and how we can make the world a better place!

Week In Review 1-31-26 The U.S. national debt just crossed $39 trillion, but the 'official' number is only the tip of the iceberg. With spending soaring at $71,800 per second and unfunded liabilities pushing the real debt over $100 trillion, we are testing the limits of global trust. Is America’s 'fan base' the only thing keeping us out of the poorhouse? When a Sunday morning worship service in St. Paul becomes a target for 'terrorist' tactics, the line between protest and criminal conduct has officially vanished. They promised affordability, but delivered record-breaking taxes. From Abigail Spanberger’s aggressive new tax proposals in Virginia to the rise of 'Democratic Socialist' leadership in New York City, the 2025 election results are already hitting taxpayers' wallets. Gavin Newsom is leading the pack for the 2028 Democratic nomination, but does he have any 'cents' left to offer? With California facing structural deficits, record-high utility costs, and controversial policies like Medicaid for illegal immigrants, Newsom is running on a record that many former residents are fleeing. No one is above the law—or are they? After months of legal maneuvering, Bill and Hillary Clinton have officially defied bipartisan congressional subpoenas to testify in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Is an $80,000 Ivy League degree becoming a 'slacker's' credential? Today, we sit down with the authors of Slacking: Guide to Ivy League Miseducation to reveal how the nation's most prestigious universities have traded Western Civilization and Shakespeare for pop culture and political activism. Part 3 of 3.After a year of legal threats and extension after extension, the TikTok deal has officially closed—but is the CCP truly out of the picture? The Department of War is taking a sledgehammer to the federal government's oldest DEI program. Secretary Pete Hegseth just announced a line-by-line review of every 8(a) sole-source contract over $20 million, signaling the end of race-based preferences in military purchasing. The numbers are in, and the results are undeniable: the U.S. murder rate just plummeted by 21%—the largest single-year drop ever recorded. For the first time in decades, the federal government is flipping the food pyramid on its head. The new HHS 2025-2030 guidelines have officially moved away from 'MyPlate' and back to a pyramid model—but with a radical twist. Is this the end of the ultra-processed era?Were the recent strikes truly effective at degrading Iran's nuclear capabilities, or just a temporary setback? With Iran hardening its stance against inspections and rhetoric still heated, it's hard to see this "ceasefire" leading to any lasting peace. For four years, a high-stakes legal battle has been quietly unfolding in federal court, pitting public health professionals against the FDA. Today, we’re looking at PHMPT vs. FDA case - a fight over transparency about the COVID19 vaccine.Texas, the land of big hats and even bigger laws, is buzzing with a question that could change everything: Will marijuana finally be legalized?The Presidential Library system is officially broken. Obama's $850M park grab is an insult, and the Biden "bookmobile" shows the era is ending. It's time to end the federal maintenance racket and move all presidential records to a central, efficient Smithsonian model. Stop the perpetual taxpayer funding of political ego!The 1993 Motor-Voter law aimed to boost registration, but critics warned about citizenship verification. Could this loophole have swelled voter rolls with non-citizens over decades, subtly shifting demographics in places like NYC? It's a question worth asking as we see far-left candidates like Mamdani becoming electable. Mentoring expert Doug Lawrence joins me to discuss his vital new book, "Grief: The Silent Pandemic," and how mentorship can help us navigate loss. A must-listen for anyone seeking healing and connection.
