Making the Argument with Nick Freitas

It wasn't that long ago that the forces of woke seemed to be on the ascendency. One day, we went to bed in a world where drag queen story hour was not a thing, and the next day, we woke up, and if you weren't comfortable with a 40-year-old man in a dress following your 5-year-old into the women's bathroom, you were a bigot. Everything was racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic, patriarchal, or literally Hitler. Today, we have my friend Bryan Callen, who refused to be cowed and fought back with a weapon he is quite adept with: humor.⭐ SPONSOR: Good Ranchers Good Ranchers has you covered this holiday season whether you're looking for the highest quality of meat for you family, or a gift you'll be excited to give.

Shortly after word got out that a white male and former Marine choked out a black man on a subway, the Left insisted that this was a clear-cut case of vigilanteism of the Jim Crow variety. Penny was a racist murderer who killed a mentally ill man that society let down…Fast forward to a week ago when a man named Luigi Mangione walked up behind the CEO of United Healthcare and shot him in the back of the head multiple times, killing him, and the Left had a very different reaction, justifying the murder as an act of heroism against the injustices of a cruel and heartless man.But what is the truth?⭐ SPONSOR: True ClassicThe holidays are here and True Classic’s ultra-comfortable, perfect-fitting essentials make for the perfect gift for you and the men in your life.

Why have school shootings become so prominent in the United States? The left certainly has an answer: "it's the guns!" Well, are they right? That is the question we will answer today on Making The Argument.

Young men are under attack in our culture. We are not supposed to notice or talk about it, and God help us if we feel any sympathy for men, who have become the perpetual punching bags for modern feminism. But the reality is that men will play a crucial role in shaping what our society looks like, whether woke feminists like it or not. The only real question is what kind of men they will be: bitter, jaded, hedonistic, and out for revenge, or the sort of men that create a society where families can flourish. Today's guest is a walking poster child for masculinity. He's a MARSOC and NAVSPEC war combat veteran, professional MMA fighter, and all-around great guy.SPONSOR: True ClassicUpgrade your wardrobe and save on @trueclassic at trueclassic.com/NICK ! #trueclassicpod🔗 Bundle here: https://Trueclassic.com/nick-----Stock up on all of your Christmas gifts with Nick's sarcastic mugs!🔗 Get your mugs here: https://shop.nickjfreitas.com/-----GET YOUR MERCH HERE: https://shop.nickjfreitas.com/BECOME A MEMBER OF THE IC: https://NickJFreitas.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/nickjfreitas/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NickFreitasVATwitter: https://twitter.com/NickJFreitasYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NickjfreitasTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nickfreitas3.0

Just about anybody to the right of the sociology department at UC Berkeley is looking at American society right now and wondering what exactly is going on. Today, I have a friend of the channel and a guy you should follow, John Lovell of Warrior Poet Society. John and I will discuss several factors that have resulted in this sudden transformation of American culture, combined with ideas for how we effectively combat it. For those of you who don't already know, John is a former Army Ranger, combat veteran, missionary, defense expert, husband, father, and, if I may say, a pretty funny guy. GET YOUR MERCH HERE: https://shop.nickjfreitas.comBECOME A MEMBER OF THE IC: https://NickJFreitas.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/nickjfreitas/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NickFreitasVATwitter: https://twitter.com/NickJFreitasYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NickjfreitasTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nickfreitas3.0

Miesha Tate is a former UFC Bantamweight champion. With 20 professional victories and an amazing comeback that people said wasn't possible, Miesha has accomplished a lot. But it almost ended abruptly.

Trump is going to be president, plus the Republicans took the Senate and have maintained the House. This means that for at least 2 years, the Trump administration will have the tools necessary to actually do what was promised. Today we will discuss how it happened, and what needs to happen next. And we will get the best post-election analysis in the country because our very own Political prognosticator, the Oracle of Virginia, called it…in almost every case, he not only got it right but was closer than any of the "experts."---Sponsored by: IC MembershipBecome a member of the IC today to join the team LIVE during recordings of the MTA podcast!

Well, we predicted it, everyone. Back in July, I described what the Kamala Harris strategy would be. I wrote that they will try to get people excited about Kamala for about 5 min, and when that does work, they will go back to calling Trump a fascist. And guess what? Here we are. Everyone from Kamala Harris to Keith Olbermann to even Larry Sabato at UVA Center for Politics has been comparing Trump to Hitler and calling him a fascist…so we decided to ask a question…when we look at fascism as an ideology, does one candidate align with their actual objectives? So that is what we will do today. We will put away the political rhetoric and actually look at fascist policies straight from the fascists themselves and ask the question…does either candidate for president actually align with “fascist policies?”---Sponsored by: Good Ranchers Good Ranchers offers 100% American meat, supporting local ranchers and ensuring quality with no antibiotics.

Whenever I have been asked what best prepared me for serving in elected office, I usually quip that before I got into politics, I served in a unit that specialized in unconventional warfare and counter-insurgency, and I'm amazed at how well that prepared me for domestic politics. It's, of course, half tongue in cheek, but there is no question that my time as a Green Beret taught me a lot about leadership. Mike Waltz is the first Green Beret elected to Congress, and he has served with distinction both in the military and as an elected official. He wrote a book, "Hard Truths: Think and Lead Like a Green Beret," where he explained what is unique and compelling about the Special Forces style of leadership.Get Mike's book here: https://a.co/d/8q8G20a---Sponsored by: True ClassicTrue Classic Tees have cracked the code on men's fashion.

This year, Amy called Nick and told him that the insurance company had denied their policy and mentioned Nick by name as the reason. He told Amy that the event was too important and that, if needed, she should take him off the list of speakers. Amy flat-out refused.
