    Cmdr Crenshaw is a true hero. Both when he served his country with honor in the military and almost gave the ultimate sacrifice and even more so in his role as a Representative. Dan, everyday I encourage friends, family, and colleagues to listen to this podcast. Your honesty, sometimes brutal, is so refreshing and is inspiring me to consider running for office. More voices like yours are desperately needed. Keep fighting. Real Americans are absolutely behind you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jeremy Boreing on Conspiracy Theories, Victimhood Politics, and the Woke Right Industrial Complex
Q: How do you differentiate healthy skepticism from conspiracy thinking in everyday audiences?
The key is looking for falsifiability and willingness to update beliefs in light of new evidence; if someone only adds more allegations when faced with contrary data, that signals unfalsifiable thinking rather than constructive skepticism.
How Cartels Brought Organized Crime Into the 21st Century | Vanda Felbab-Brown
Q: Before we dive into the cartel topic, how did you end up focusing on this area of study?
The guest explains that her early work centered on nuclear weapons and low-intensity conflict, then shifted to illicit economies, and that post-9/11 dynamics steered her toward Taliban and opium policy, gradually broadening to Mexican cartels after years of study.
The Origins of Christmas: Myths, Truths, and Traditions | Dr. Tim Larsen
Q: What do we do about the thinning out of the Christian traditional aspect of Christmas?
It's better to view it positively by integrating personal Christian traditions and messages during the season.
The Origins of Christmas: Myths, Truths, and Traditions | Dr. Tim Larsen
Q: When do we first see Christians treating Christmas as this sort of proper feast today?
The fourth century marks the beginning of documented Christmas celebrations, but the exact timing of initial celebrations is difficult to pinpoint.
Beyond the Blue Bin: Advanced Recycling | Ross Eisenberg
Q: What is advanced recycling versus normal recycling?
Advanced recycling takes plastic waste back down to its raw materials and transforms it into new plastic, unlike normal recycling which generally melts plastics into lower-quality products.
