  • Fantastic listen

    I’ve known James since college and listening to this show is like talking with him. He’s always been on point, does his research, and presents as reporter and news person while being a person. Even if I hadn’t had the chance to meet and know James, I’d still enjoy listening to his show and reading his his writing.

Venison Over Virtue Signals feat. Jason Soulliere | Ep. 99
Q: What advice would you give someone who is just starting off in the great outdoors?
Start to find people local to your home that actually do that and ask them if you can join them to learn about hunting and fishing.
Teach Math, Not Marx feat. Monica Yatooma | Ep. 109
Q: Is there a model of the publics that is worth saving?
Yes, the schools can be saved because there are many good parents and educators who want to do right by the kids, but they are currently hindered by politicized agendas.
Teach Math, Not Marx feat. Monica Yatooma | Ep. 109
Q: What is Great Education Initiative?
The Great Education Initiative is a 501c3 organization that aims to empower parents in Michigan to opt out of progressive educational policies and provide resources to help them advocate for their children's education.

Q: Chip, help me understand this TSA case that's moving through the court system right now.
The TSA employees should not be unionized as their role is based on national security, and Congress has explicitly said these employees can't join a union.
Rogers Reloaded feat. Mike Rogers | Ep. 111
Q: How do you think your competitors will affect your chances?
I believe we can pull in disenfranchised Democrats who care about their state and want real representation.
