The James Perspective

On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne, with David on the phone, kick off Technology Thursday with big crypto news: Ripple just got final approval for its national trust bank, and David makes the case that XRP is "the rail" everything runs on. Dwayne says crypto is going to be like email, "a whole lot of crap and a handful of good stuff," and we settle whether a store can legally turn down your cash. Then David hires his very own Grok bot live on the air, and we ask whether a dog would ever let a robot into its pack. We dig into AWS, Azure, and why AI could blow up Microsoft's subscriptions, plus central bank digital currency, Bitcoin's fixed supply, and whether gold made inside a nuclear plant would leave you with radioactive coins. We swap fake tech-support scam stories, untangle the ranked-choice puzzle of Alaska's two Dan Sullivans, and ask why college students can't tell you who Napoleon was. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne welcome Pastor Jimmy Williams for the question that comes up every October: is it okay for Christian kids to go trick-or-treating? Jimmy digs into the real roots of All Hallows' Eve, All Saints' Day, and All Souls' Day, when the church looked death in the eye and poked fun at it, and his verdict is simple: "Don't fight the world on Halloween. Take it back from them. It was ours first." We take on the razor-blade-in-the-apple scare, weigh Harry Potter, Ouija boards, and The Lord of the Rings, and ask whether making everything demonic means we'll miss the real thing. Then James brings his morning Bible reading, 2 Timothy 4, and asks what "preach the word" really means, from the Greek logos to itching ears, gimmick churches, and Sunday services that look like a Rush concert. Plus Dwayne remembers a Mojave Desert radio evangelist who mailed out a weird tea for healing. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James and Glenn kick off Legal Tuesday with ranked-choice voting, from Alaska's ballot with two candidates named Sullivan to James's theory on how Boy Scout elections really get decided. We follow the fallout from Brazil's election, Glenn traces a million-dollar voter-fraud whistleblower reward back to the Civil War, and James explains why the president gets to decide what's classified. Then the big question: should every military base be able to run on its own for 90 days, and are small nuclear plants the answer, or is Glenn right that we're discounting solar? We get a laugh out of the Cheesecake Factory dust-up, then James puts on his lawyer hat. Can the president fire a career federal prosecutor at will, and what does the firing of James Comey's daughter mean for civil service protections? We close with the Fifth Circuit ruling that struck down the federal ban on home distilling. Don't miss it

On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne kick things off with a plea to ditch the time change, because the South never needed it. James gives a bot update from his law office, where about 30 specialized bots are on the job but still need a boss. We ask whether anyone could really knock out Starlink, from Glenn's ball-bearing "shotgun" in orbit to James's Atlas Shrugged warning that the bigger threat may be our own government. Dwayne tracks Optimus robots ramping up at Fremont, and James spots his first Waymo in Dallas. Glenn explains the PHP vulnerability that has financial tech folks nervous, and James walks through how his office double-checks every citation after a federal appeals court tossed a Mississippi ruling over AI-made errors. Then it's a friendly fight over marijuana and driving, and James and Dwayne put a Louisiana Tech presidential candidate's resume under the microscope. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James, Glenn, Dwayne, and Charlotte tackle Conspiracy Friday's biggest one yet: Data Republican's "election files." Glenn walks us through the claim that former USAID insiders, scattered into new nonprofits, have been on Zoom calls mapping out how to delegitimize the midterms, built on a Harvard study's "3.5% rule" that steady peaceful protest can topple a government. We break down the four B's (block, bridge, belong, build), the Insurrection Act trip wire, the January 3rd deadline, and talk of blue-state governors calling their own constitutional convention, while James signposts it step by step like an appellate argument. Then comes the lightbulb moment: is the fight over the ballroom, the golf course, and DC's makeover really about keeping America looking like it's in decline? We also weigh Rubio versus Vance, Trump accounts and owning a piece of America, and whether Fetterman switches sides. Theories, all of them, and a blast. Don't miss it!
