Rainman's Take
"What You Need to Know About Congressman George Santos & Why He Must Go!" (E95)

Congressman George Santos is a liar and needs to be kicked out of congress. However, this type of behavior has been going on for a long time and just shows how broken the system is. What are some of the things we can do about it, well consecutive term limits would be a good start, but I'm not holding my breath. Enjoy!

Rainman's Take
CALIFORNIA'S POLITICS AND WATER (E94)

I recently sent a text to my friends, it was a picture of me with a gorgeous San Diego sunset in the background. The text accompanying the picture stated, "California's politics suck, but the (January) sunsets do not". This is very apparent in how the state handles excessive water accumulation like we've had in the recent snow and rain storms. The states mis-managed water for several years and unfortunately shows no signs of stopping.

Rainman's Take
Who Are the Real Fascists in the US? (E92)

Elon Musk continues to upset the apple cart with his "Twitter Files" dump. It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt there was coordinated collusion between the government and private sector (big tech companies) to censor any and all opposing viewpoints to the "official narrative". This propaganda and coordination is the hallmark of a fascist state, and guess who in the US is perpetrating this? Enjoy contents: 0:52 Subscribe! 1:30 Intro to the topic of the day 2:45 "Twitter Files" dump 4:00 What is Fascism? 6:55 Mainstream media is not covering this story 7:55 Disturbing revelations from the "Twitter Files" dump 10:50 Tyler Durden's explanation of why this is so dangerous

Rainman's Take
CLIMATE CHANGE another perspective... (E87)

This is what the Rainman thinks when he hears about a current weather event being described as the worst since a similar event which occurred xyz years ago. Maybe his logic is wrong but doesn't that just mean that climate change is cyclical and that we are just living through a cycle of climate that was going to occur with or without outside influences (read human influence). What do you think? Enjoy!

Rainman's Take
BRITTANY GRINER & THE NATIONAL ANTHEM (E102)

Sometimes it takes people being away from the United States to realize just how a special a place this is. Brittany Griner knows after being locked in a Russian jail cell for 10 months. I'm glad she's back home and even more glad she's decided to stand for the anthem of this great country. I think this is important and more people should know about her change of heart. Enjoy! Contents: 0-1:44 Intro and call to subscribe 1:45 - 4:15. my take on Brittany Griner now standing for the anthem 4:15 - 5:30. My take on the article 5:30 - 7:45. we have become over civilized, and that is not good 8:10 - 10:15. why does that passage resonate with me 10:15 - 11:15. Left wing always goes to "Uncle Tom" 11:15 - 13:50. The only way to destroy America is from within 14:05 - 15:30. These evils still exist in the world, just not in the US 15:50 - 17:30. How do we counter the movement to dismantle the US? 19:45 - 21:05. Why do some feel the need to destroy the US?

CLIMATE CHANGE NARRATIVE and how it's holding up in today's GEOPOLITICAL ENVIRONMENT (E85)

Rainman's Take
Can we TRUST THE MEDIA? (E83)

Rainman discusses recent polling showing a lack of trust in the main stream media.  He also highlights two interviews that seem to reflect that feeling and uses them as examples of why there is a lack of trust.  The fourth institution is so important to the health of our constitutional republic, but only if it is impartial and dedicated to "truth" and holding leaders accountable.  Unfortunately the current state of our media has devolved into propaganda arms of either side of the aisle.  That is a problem and that is why many people do not trust the media.  Enjoy!

IRAN, URANIUM, and THE NEW YORK TIMES oh my! and some professional wrestling thrown in (E84)

Rainman gives his take on two other noteworthy news articles of this past week.  Iran is acquiring uranium by any means necessary; enemies of the US are establishing footholds in central and South America.  Also, the New York Times just stated what has been obvious to us for two years, Hunter's laptop is actually newsworthy.  Plus some bonus professional wrestling at the end...Enjoy!

Rainman's Take
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE of the United States of America as read by THE RAINMAN (E82)

Your host Rainman reads the entire DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE on the weekend of the 246th anniversary of the birth of our great country.  Also, some takes on what the constitution means especially in today's crazy world.  Millions of people from around the world still want to come to the USA, it is still the "Shining city on the hill" as Reagan once said.  There is a lot of reason to be optimistic about the USA.  Enjoy!

Rainman's Take
PAKISTAN AND THE GEOPOLITICS OF CENTRAL ASIA from someone who's been there (E81)

A great discussion about the geopolitics of central asia over the last decade in particular in Pakistan.  (PODCASTER'S NOTE: AT 4:56 JOJO TALKS ABOUT RECOGNITION OF THE DURANT LINE, THE BORDER; ACTUALLY THE AFGHAN AMIR ACKNOWLEDGED IT IN 1893.  THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT STILL ACKNOWLEDGES IT, BUT THE TALIBAN DOES NOT.  IT'S AN ONGOING SOURCE OF TENSION). Rainman and JoJo talk about JoJo's experiences while being stationed in Islamabad, Pakistan and just how important that area of the world has been over the last 20 years.  They go from the killing of Osama Bin Laden to current issues with contested borders.  Pakistan will continue to be very important moving into the future and will most likely impact how much influence China will have in the region.  Enjoy!

GHANA, AFRICA: a modern perspective (E80)

Dr. Christian Bannerman joins me to discuss the modern transformation of Ghana, Africa.  I don't know much about Africa so it's nice to talk to someone from there to help understand what is happening over there.  Because like I always say, if you only get your news from one source, you're not informed.  I can't wait to go on one of Christian's missions.  Enjoy!

Rainman's Take
DEALING WITH THE HOMELESS CRISIS; a local Encinitas perspective (E79)

Jeff Morris runs the Encinitas Watchdog Group and they have been actively monitoring how the homeless issue became a crisis in Encinitas, CA.  This issue did not happen organically, it was basically manufactured by arguably a corrupt system that is designed to make money off the homeless issue.  It's a sad commentary but one that is actually happening not just in Encinitas, CA but I would suggest, all over the country.  It's not a pleasant topic but it's very informative.  Enjoy

PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS; there's more to this topic than you think (E78)

CC King discusses his experiences early on with the anti-doping commission and the research and chemistry involved in trying to catch athletes cheating by artificially enhancing their bodies.  But there is more to this topic and with the advances in biomechanics among other things, the question becomes almost more of philosophical one; what constitutes cheating and how far can/should we go to reach the pinnacle of human performance.  Really interesting stuff.  Enjoy!
