Christ was a congressional candidate for Ill-08 when I scheduled him to come on. He dropped out of the race a few days before recording and offered to back out. I insisted he still come on and I’m glad I did.

All of the big podcasts drop on Tuesday. So how does it make sense for me to try and compete with them? It doesn’t. Going forward I will drop new episodes on Monday.This episode has Aftyn Behn and Victoria Broderick. Two young, powerful, progressive women running for Congress in Tennessee. Aftyn is running for TN-7 in a special election to replace the Republican who quit and fled to another country after his skeletons were let out of the closet. Her primary is Oct 7. She’s the only woman in this race and the only candidate that doesn’t take c...

Marta is the founder of Misto-Dobra (City of Goodness), Ukraine’s largest orphanage. If you only listen to one episode of the Resistor Vic Podcast, or if you’ve listened to parts of others and keep hoping for me to get better, LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE. PLEASE! If you do, then you’ll share it without me asking. This is by far my best episode and possibly the most important episode I’ll ever produce.

Dad believed in God but didn’t believe in religion. I remember the day I asked him about it. We we on top of a mountain taking a break on our trail ride. I asked if he believed in God and he said yes. Then I asked why we didn’t go to church. He said, “look around. Look at where we are. We’re in church.” I tried reading the whole Bible but couldn’t get past the guys living 800 years or past the question of where Adam and Eve’s kids found wives if everybody came from Adam and Eve.

I was listening to Pod Save America and they were pondering on whether or not the Dems can have a winning message if they don’t help the Republicans and there is a government shutdown. It’s really not that hard……

If we want to solve the gun violence question then we have to do something different. We’ve been doing the same thing for 40 years and things are just getting worse.If both sides work together to improve the lives of Main St Americans, it won’t end gun violence. But it will significantly reduce it along with crime in general and drug addiction.

In this episode I have a conversation with Pam Espinoza, chair of the Las Animas County Colorado Democrats. We discuss why we’re still Democrats despite our high level of frustration with the Democratic Party overall. We also discuss why unaffiliated voters should come back to the party.

I wasn’t going to talk about Charlie Kirk. I didn’t want to be one of those people jumping on the bandwagon. I explain in the video why I changed my mind.As I was editing, another thought came to me. The fascists are going to try to turn him into a martyr. Movement’s with martyrs have more power. For that reason, I think it’s important that those of un who still love democracy to make sure we talk about the real Charlie Kirk and what he represented.

Totally unrelated to this video……. If this were 1940 and somebody shot Joseph Goebbels, I wouldn’t be sad about it. I’m not celebrating what happened yesterday. I’ve said before that when we resort to violence, we’ve lost. Still, don’t ask me to mourn or ‘pray for’ a modern day Goebbels.

I made this video 4 days ago and scheduled it for today. Last night foreign media was reporting an armada of Russian drones in Poland’s airspace and NATO allies scrambling jets. This is an Article 5 situation. If I were a religious man I would say “God help us all.”Please share this one.

This episode was culled from my live YouTube broadcast. I talked about being tired of the 40-year old gun control debate that has done absolutely NOTHING to reduce gun violence in America. And I offer another way. I jump around a little bit but I think I got my point across in the end. When I have more experience editing and more time to edit, this kind of episode will be better.P.S.I figured out that I don’t have to send an email with every video I post.

This week’s guest is Brandon Wade. He’s a Democratic Party candidate for Congress in Oklahoma CD2. I knew a kid growing up in Beulah who’s first name was Wade. There’s a guy at work who’s first name is Wade. That’s my excuse for the bonehead mistake of referring to Brandon Wade as “Wade” multiple times in the episode. Oops.Seriously though, Brandon Wade is the kind of grass-roots, working-class, Maint St candidate that we’re all saying we need more of in Congress. If you want to support him, go to Brandon4Congress.Com.

It sounds cliche to say Labor Day isn't about the day off work and the picnic, even if it is true. Here's a good reminder of why it's true and why it's more than a history lesson. #labor #resistance #union (apologies to the young lady who I took a selfie with and promised to include in the video, it just didn't fit)

Whenever the topic of taxing the rich pops up, I’m vexed with how so many middle-class and poor people are against the idea. Maybe if they did a little bit of simple math, they could see why it needs to be done. In this video, I used the billion-dollar Powerball jackpot to help them out with it.
