EPISODE #91: The Telsa and Elon saga continues for yet another week as the derangement continues to ramp up. A group on the internet is doxxing Tesla Owners, and major figures on the left cheer on the terrorism of their fellow citizens. Internet slop is everywhere, what can we actually believe? We dive into the latest slop controversy involving Democrat cheerleader Harry Sisson. Also this week, Gavin Newsom is learning, JFK files were revealed, and what is actually going on with Ilhan Omar and the “fact checkers” at Snopes?

EPISODE #90: Welcome back to the pod! Elon took hits from all angles this week. Tesla cars & chargers are being attacked, the stock is down, X went down on Monday, and the people are protesting. The good news? Trump will take one of those Teslas! Our president seemed very impressed with the car, proclaiming “Wow… everything’s computer”. A battle of citizenship is underway as Federal immigration authorities detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate student who played a prominent role in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University. Are we abusing free speech rights? In the latest tech news, Sam Altman & ChatGPT release a new model that is going after creative writing.. but is it actually any good? Finally.. the pod bros competition. On one side, Gavin Newsom interviewed Steve Bannon (what?) and on the other side, Michelle Obama's new podcast can barely crack 20k subscribers on YT. The media landscape has changed and it looks like Gavin understands the game better than anyone on the left.
