Episode 194 - Professor Marc Defant-Challenging Feminist Studies

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 12:06:33 -0500

Marc Defant is a professor of geology at the University of South Florida who authored the 2025 paper "Evolutionary Psychology and the Crisis of Empirical Rigor in Feminist Studies," published in Sexuality & Culture. The paper critiques feminist studies for prioritizing ideology over empirical evidence, using evolutionalry psychology to challeng concepts like pariarchy, social constructionism, fat studies, rape theories, and ecofiminism. Defant argues these ideas often ignore biological ralities, such as sex differences in reproductive investment, and function more as political advocacy then rigorous scholarship. In this episode, Professor Defant discuss this paper and it's impact on academia.

Sat, 22 Oct 2022 21:18:44 -0400

Earlier this year I interviewed former retired Supervisory Special Agent James Gagliano about the corruption in the FBI. Last week, James wrote an article for the New York Post titled "The FBI Agents Assocation rewarded agents who took a knee in front of BLM, proving the rot isn't just at the top". This article has raised quite the stir with both current and former FBI Agents. In this episode I present my viewpoint on this issue having served for over twenty years as an agent myself in the FBI. Change within the FBI is not going to happen until there is a groundswell of demand from the public. The FBI cannot continue down this road if it is expected to serve the American people, and I discuss my thoughts on how this should and can be done.

Episode 105 - The Wrong Leaders at the Wrong Time

Sun, 13 Mar 2022 12:21:58 -0400

There could not be a worse set of leaders at the helm of the United States right now. They are not being honest with us, and what is worse they are using world events to push their social agenda. Listen for yourself as we hear our Energy Secretary laugh at the suggestion we should increase oil production, and Kamala Harris laugh as Poland takes in refugees from Ukraine. We have the wrong leaders at the wrong time!

Episode 102 - Putin - Crazy People Do Crazy Things

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 19:34:37 -0500

We wonder why people do what they do, and sometimes it comes down to crazy people do crazy things. That is what crazy people do! We think we can talk sense into them, but this is a fantasy. It does not work, and the unfortunate part is that innocent people get hurt while we try to make sense out of things that do not make sense. Putin is now committed to taking Ukraine, and the only question left is, what are we going to do about it? Today's episode explores this question.

Episode 101 - The Ukraine Situation and Parallels to History

Sat, 26 Feb 2022 22:49:58 -0500

It is eerie to see the parallels to what is going on in the Ukraine and the beginnings of World War II. However, our leaders have either ignored the signs, or do not understand them. As we have become divided by social unrest and making our military as woke as possible, tyrants are on the move and people are suffering. Hear for yourself what our leaders are focused on, and remember, you are told that YOU are the problem.

Episode 100 - The Invasion Begins

Fri, 25 Feb 2022 12:42:56 -0500

As we watch Russia invade Ukraine, we have to ask ourselves how this happened. We also have to wonder what this means for the United States. We are told this is not our fight, but that is not how the world works. History is often an accurate indicator of how things will happen in the future. I discuss this and more in this episode as we watch dark events unfold across the globe.

Episode 97 - Lockdowns and Crackpipes

Tue, 08 Feb 2022 23:03:24 -0500

I was wrong in thinking that in ten years researchers would say we handled the pandemic poorly. They are already saying it! Researchers are now saying the lockdowns had a negligible effect on the outcomes, however, we did a lot of damage in other areas. Also, the Biden Administration is doing one of the more appalling things I have seen by providing Crack Pipes to the public, especially minorities in the name of equity. Wow...just wow!

Episode 96 - Are We Repeating History?

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 22:02:07 -0500

Most Americans do not understand that the rest of the world respects strength. Look at history, Germany was emboldened in the late 1930's due to the weakness of world leaders, and this led to the Second World War. Are we seeing the same thing pan out in modern history? Joe Biden embodies weakness, and we all may pay a price for this. Take a listen to some of the things President Biden has recently said, and I discuss his appalling approval ratings even among the Democrats.
