Peasants Perspective: A Voice from the Edge of Freedom
Join Taylor Johnatakis, a self-proclaimed “peasant” turned podcaster, on an unfiltered journey through family, faith, and the fight for American ideals. From the depths of DC Jail—where he recorded during a 14-month sentence tied to January 6—to his triumphant return home after a Trump clemency in 2025, Taylor delivers raw, heartfelt commentary for the common man. Expect a mix of gritty storytelling, reflections on liberty lost and reclaimed, and timeless lessons drawn from his life as a septic designer, father, and reluctant rebel. Whether he’s reading Dr. Seuss to his kids or dissecting the state of the republic, Peasants Perspective is a bold, unpolished call to stay grounded amidst chaos. Subscribe for a front-row seat to a story that’s as real as it gets—no filter, no apologies.

Send us a text Drawing wisdom from Thomas Paine's revolutionary text "Common Sense," this episode examines how the founding father's arguments for American independence powerfully mirror our current political predicament. Two hundred fifty years later, we find ourselves in a remarkably similar position – universally acknowledging government dysfunction while feeling trapped within the system. Across the political spectrum, Americans share a deep conviction that something fundamental has gone...
Send us a text Freedom is under siege, and Thomas Paine's centuries-old words offer a startling mirror to our modern predicament. The wisdom found in "Common Sense" transcends time, speaking directly to our contemporary struggles against the ever-expanding reach of government power. Where once Americans battled a distant king, we now find ourselves confronting enemies within our own institutions—agencies grown corrupt, elites sacrificing our blood and treasure for personal gain, and a ...
Send us a text What happens when we surrender our natural equality and self-governance to those who claim divine right to rule? Thomas Paine's revolutionary text "Common Sense" provides a searing critique of monarchy that resonates powerfully in today's world of modern elitism and concentrated power. The chapter begins with Paine's foundational premise that mankind was created equal, with this equality only destroyed by subsequent human arrangements. Male and female are nature's distinctions...
Send us a text Has the distinction between society and government become dangerously blurred? Thomas Paine's revolutionary insights from 1776 serve as a powerful lens through which we can examine our current political moment. The wisdom of Common Sense cuts through centuries of governmental evolution to expose fundamental truths about power, liberty, and the proper boundaries between community and state. Paine's crucial observation that "Society is produced by our wants and government by our...
Send us a text Ever wonder why we accept systems of governance without question—until they directly harm us? This fascinating exploration of Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" reveals how this revolutionary 1776 pamphlet contains wisdom critical for today's America. The true spirit of 1776 wasn't merely about violent rebellion but about applying simple reasoning to question established authority. When Paine published his pamphlet on January 10, 1776, he created one of history's most widely circul...
Send us a text The coffee smells great—then reality hits. We open with a hard look at the microplastics panic and a contrarian finding that fat combustion can mimic polymer signatures, raising tough questions about how risk got measured, repeated, and sold. That sets a bigger theme: when methods wobble and narratives harden, trust fractures. From there we follow the fault lines—puncturing partisan fantasies of total victory, unpacking rhetoric about mass prosecutions and court-packing, and as...
Send us a text They say history is written by the winners, but lately it feels like the story is written by whoever controls the mic. We dig into how power is packaged and sold to everyday people — from a “Board of Peace” for Gaza that sounds tidy but echoes doublespeak, to economic headlines that finally feel human when you run the mortgage math and see a $230 swing in your monthly budget. We don’t stop at headlines. A surprising Trump–Warren contact about capping credit card interest rates...
Send us a text A simple question about whole milk turns into a guided tour through immigration crackdowns, alleged fraud fronts, courtroom pivots, and the way trust fractures when institutions speak in slogans instead of facts. We kick off with a light touch—nutrition, nostalgia, and the “peasants” refrain—then follow the paper trail to Minnesota storefronts registered as transportation companies, where receipts seem to move people even when vans don’t. When a governor urges peaceful protest ...
Send us a text A glitchy cold open gave way to a gut-punch: a farewell to Scott Adams and a promise to keep his “simultaneous sip” alive. From there we sprinted into a week that felt like a decade—RFK praising Trump’s improbable health, a Ford factory visit doubling as a campaign drumbeat, and a fresh wave of populist proposals that actually touch daily life: caps on consumer interest, limits on Wall Street gobbling up single-family homes, and data centers paying more so households don’t get ...
Send us a text Tired of being told to ignore what’s in plain sight? We trace a straight line from a Washington ballot forgery case to a sprawling Minnesota fraud ecosystem—daycares, transport, interpreters—and ask the hard question: who benefits when accountability goes soft? The story widens fast, pulling in “de-arrest” manuals, “micro intifada” tactics, and the media choreography that shapes what you see and what you don’t. We weigh the Laken Riley Act against claims of due process erosion,...
Send us a text Power hides in plain sight, and we pull the lens back to see the whole field. We start with Portland’s contentious traffic stop and the way narratives shift once gang and trafficking details surface, then track that frustration to Ilhan Omar’s “where are the indictments?” challenge and a Congress that punts to ethics process. From there, the conversation turns to a deeper structural rattle: Minnesota’s security flap with Treasury, California’s bond and pension math, and a frank...
Send us a text The numbers shouldn’t look like this—and yet they do. A projected trade deficit gets sliced nearly in half, imports fall, exports rise, and we’re left asking whether tariffs and domestic substitution are quietly reshaping the real economy. We take that momentum into the mortgage market, where a proposed $200B purchase of mortgage bonds by Fannie and Freddie could pull rates down and, more importantly, tweak the way new money enters the system. If housing finance is a primary en...
Send us a text What happens when ideology fuses with identity? We dig into the steep cost of that merger—how it breeds bubbles, moralizes disagreement, and turns truth into a jersey color. From there, the story runs through the week’s biggest pivots: the food pyramid flip that elevates whole foods and protein while declaring war on added sugar, and the Minnesota shooting where a “legal observer” label collided with a moving vehicle, an officer in front of it, and a narrative machine already i...
Send us a text Start with a story and you can move a nation—pair it with money and timing, and you can redraw the map. We dig into how the new J6 website and sweeping pardons try to lock a narrative that facts alone never secured, then follow the consequences into immigration pipelines, sanctuary policies, and open-air drug zones that rearrange labor markets and public safety. The thread is leverage: who holds it, who loses it, and how it’s used to turn culture into policy. From there, we wa...
Send us a text A rib-shaped patty, a glossy daycare with an empty lot, and a president who reads like a cartel boss—different stories, same thread. We dig into how power dresses itself up as something palatable, why the little guys keep paying, and what it takes to rebuild trust when institutions choose narrative over truth. The hour runs from the McRib lawsuit and vaccine schedule reset to the hard edge of realpolitik in Venezuela, where stability, oil infrastructure, and who commands the ar...
Send us a text A fortress door half-closed, a city’s radar gone dark, and a head of state in cuffs by midday. That’s how our Monday began—and from there, the real story started: not boots on the ground, but hands on the oil valve. We walk through the covert capture of Nicolás Maduro and why the aftermath is the strategy. Control the tankers and court-ordered seizures, and you control the incentives of every ministry and general in Caracas without toppling trash pickup, payroll, or airports. ...
Send us a text What happens when the only way to fix broken systems is to break a few norms? We wade into the fight over the Senate filibuster and ask whether conservatives should narrow or nuke it to pass immigration, election, and welfare reforms while they still can. The stakes feel immediate: budgets dictate reality, and appropriations are where the rules of daily life are written. From there we trace how incentives drive behavior, spotlighting alleged childcare and welfare fraud mechani...
Send us a text A peaceful protest, a bullhorn, and a prison bus—our story starts there, but it doesn’t end in a cell. We bring you a candid, unvarnished conversation with our friend Doug about what it felt like to go from the Capitol steps to solitary confinement, and what that journey revealed about the FBI, the DOJ, and a justice system that seems to prize narrative over facts. If you’ve ever wondered why “accountability is coming” keeps getting pushed into the future, this one will sit wit...
Send us a text Doors locked, phones silent, blinds drawn—and yet the checks keep clearing. We chase a swelling trail of alleged fraud from Minnesota daycares to assisted living homes in Washington and Massachusetts, where residential addresses appear on state dashboards as publicly funded care providers. What starts as a viral video turns into a wider inquiry: Who’s auditing enrollment? Who’s verifying capacity? And why do the payouts continue when basic facts on the ground don’t add up? We ...
Send us a text Start with a simple question: if taxpayers fund a full daycare, why are the rooms empty? We dig into Minnesota’s sprawling allegations of childcare and healthcare fraud, the mechanics that let shell entities thrive, and the finger-pointing that starts the moment anyone asks for receipts. From on-the-ground video to oversight letters and whistleblowers, we connect the dots between weak audits, fast name changes, and clustered businesses running millions through the same addresse...
