Ep. 366 — Government Gone Nuts: RIP, Peanut the Squirrel
11/07/2024

Ep. 362 — One Year after October 7
10/10/2024

One year ago (on October 7, 2023), the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust occurred. Out of over 200 nations worldwide, only Israel faces a constant threat of annihilation. Despite claims, the Middle East conflict isn't about establishing a Palestinian state. Dennis reminds us that the ultimate goal of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran remains the destruction of Israel and wiping the Jewish state off the map.

Ep. 360 — When Did Self-Defense Become a "War Crime"?
09/26/2024

An opinion piece in The New York Times recently accused Israel of committing “war crimes” for taking out Hezbollah terrorists by detonating explosives in pagers and walkie-talkies. If Israel drops bombs, they’re labeled mass murderers. If they target terrorists' communication devices, it’s a “war crime.” Is there anything Israel can do to defend itself against those who want to exterminate it?

Ep. 351 — Did Divine Intervention Save Trump?
07/25/2024

If you’ve seen the models of how close the would-be assassin’s bullets came to killing former President Trump, you can understand why many feel that God intervened. But is that warranted?

Ep. 350 — The Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump
07/18/2024

If Donald Trump is truly the “fascist Nazi” that many on the left claim he is, why wouldn’t you do everything possible to prevent him from gaining power? You can’t have it both ways—saying he’s a dictator that threatens American democracy but being relieved that an attempt to assassinate him failed. This week, Dennis explores the broader philosophical implications of the attempted assassination of former president and presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Ep. 348 — 1776: A Legacy Worth Celebrating
07/03/2024

On July 4, 1776, the Founders declared America's independence from Great Britain, initiating the greatest experiment in liberty in human history. However, with the decline of America’s education system, left-wing narratives like The 1619 Project, and the defamation of our Founding Fathers as nothing more than racist slave owners, the true significance of Independence Day is being forgotten by many Americans.

Ep. 347 — Health Cannot Replace Morality

Why is abortion termed “reproductive health” while overlooking the moral implications of ending a life?

Ep. 346 — Election Integrity: Europe vs. America
06/20/2024

In recent European elections, there were few concerns about integrity or contested results, unlike in the U.S. Could the lack of voter ID requirements in America, the replacement of paper ballots with electronic voting, and the shift from an election day to an election month suggest potential manipulation? Dennis explores what these contrasts reveal about election security in America.
