  • Surrendering to Russia

    Surrendering to Russia
    Feb 21 2025
    Trump has set his sights on destroying Ukraine. There is no other way to define what has happened in the last week as he attacks President Zelenskyy with lies and smears along with his willing propagandists. Rubio went to Saudi Arabia after Pete Hegseth all but gave the Russians the lifeline they desperately need to survive. Fred sits down with long time broadcast journalist Philip Ittner who has been in Ukraine since before the war began and reports on the situation weekly on his own show ‘On the Edge.’ They discuss the strategic situation, what is really the story behind Ukraine’s martial law, and how dangerous Trump’s threats are not to just Ukraine but the world.

    This Is The Fight Right Now with Rep. Mikie Sherrill
    Feb 14 2025
    Another week of insanity in Washington D.C. and even overseas as Pete Hegseth and J.D. Vance bring a wrecking ball to our military relationships and Ukraine’s defense. While amateur hour unfolds in Germany Elon Musk is still running amuk and 200,000 federal employees were fired. The Democrats are continuing to struggle with a unified message even as the courts begin to show their muscle to stop Trump and Elon Musk’s destruction. Representative Mikie Sherrill is one of the leaders hitting the courts and rallying her constituents to push back. Sherrill is a Naval Academy graduate, helicopter pilot, and former prosecutor from New Jersey and is in the fight both on the Hill and running for governor of her state this year. She and Fred talk about the importance of our values, the firewalls against Trump, and what states will have to do this year to push back.

  • The Tech Bros Are Destroying It All For Themselves!

    The Tech Bros Are Destroying It All For Themselves!
    Feb 7 2025
    Elon Musk is running amok through the government using what was sold as an advisory role and organization to effectively dismantle everything from the inside. He is wielding unchecked power including gaining access to the Treasury itself, all but eliminating a federal agency, and appears to be in the personnel files of millions of government employees, contractors, and average Americans. It’s been a shocking couple of weeks but those who have studied the malign plans and dystopian philosophy of Musk, Peter Theil, and J.D. Vance saw this coming. Writer Gil Duràn is a journalist and longtime political communicator. He is the author of the Nerd Reich where he writes about the authoritarian dreams and desires of the Silicon Valley elite that appear to be unfolding before our eyes. His work was featured by Heather Cox Richardson in her wildly popular 'Letters from an American' series this week and he sits down with Fred to discuss the insane actions unfolding as we speak. The conversation will open your eyes and drive you to stand up to this destruction before it's too late!
