Join Brian Nichols and Remso Martinez as they dive deep into the shocking wave of non-endorsements from major publications like the LA Times and Washington Post, exploring what this means for American democracy. The duo also examines comedian Dave Smith's "controversial" Trump endorsement and its ripple effects through the liberty movement, analyzing how this reflects broader shifts in political allegiances.

Later, they discuss Trump's viral McDonald's moment and what it reveals about authenticity in modern politics. Brian and Remso break down why these seemingly simple PR moments are resonating with voters while highly produced campaign ads fall flat. They also explore how the media's reaction to these events exposes their own biases and disconnection from average Americans.

The hosts don't shy away from tough topics, diving into a raw and honest discussion about COVID-19's lasting impact on American society, media trust, and personal relationships. Through personal stories and sharp analysis, they examine how the pandemic response created deep societal divisions that continue to influence political aligniances and voting decisions in 2024.

In a revealing finale, they dissect Reason Magazine's staff voting preferences, uncovering what this says about the state of libertarian media and intellectual diversity in political journalism. This episode offers crucial insights for anyone trying to understand the rapidly shifting political landscape and media environment heading into the 2024 election.
