    Apr 3 2026

    Is Trump changing goals in the middle of the Iran War by substituting nuclear disarmament for "unconditional surrender"? Is he actually negotiating with anyone in Iran?

  • RTC Ep. 4 - Mt. Trump-more?

  • RTC Ep. 3 - King Trump's Gambit
    Mar 19 2026

    The American public's position on the Iran War is surprisingly united and clear - do it quickly and cleanly, or don't do it at all. Trump is wagering his entire legacy on having this thing wrapped up by midterms.

  • RTC Ep. 2 - The TDS Pandemic
    Mar 13 2026

    Trump clearly has reasons for his actions in Iran, but that doesn't mean they're good reasons. Just like weak evidence is still evidence, bad reasons are still reasons. We'll also evaluate the competence or lack thereof of the 'bros running the show' when it comes to Trump's foreign policy team.

    Finally, we'll look ahead to the coming mental health pandemic as the TDS crowd tries to cope with the possibility of Trump leaving office in 2029.

  • RTC Episode 1 - Obama's Bluff
    Mar 4 2026

    The first in our series analyzing and drawing lessons from the latest Middle East conflict. We'll talk a lot about organized crime, since relationships between criminal organizations are, not surprisingly, similar to relationships among governments.

    We'll also look at why it's important to keep your promises, zooming in specifically on Obama's Syrian "red line" and his inversion of TR's axiom.

  • Role of the Judiciary
    Feb 27 2026

    This episode examines the proper role of the judiciary, which, contrary to popular belief, is not to rubber-stamp the President's agenda or organize the resistance to it. In fact, it's surprisingly simple - just interpret the damn law.

  • On Institutional Capture and Restoring Integrity
    Feb 18 2026

    The basic thesis is that Americans don't trust our institutions - the media, academia, and, in this case, medical professionals - because many of these institutions have been taken over by those driven by ideological agendas.

    Restoring faith requires ensuring that those running these institutions are operating in good faith.
