In our latest podcast, we dissect one of the most toxic patterns in American governance: total abandonment of principle the moment it’s politically inconvenient.
In 2022, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan criticized the idea that a single lower court judge could block an entire federal policy from taking effect across the whole country—saying it “wasn’t right.”
But last week, she voted to preserve them… because they could be used to block Trump.
Meanwhile, Senate Republicans—once furious over Pelosi’s “zero-cost” fantasy math—are now pushing their own trillion-dollar bill using the same fake arithmetic. Lindsey Graham, as Senate Budget Committee chairman, even called himself Zeus, the “King of the Numbers.”
When no one on either side sticks to principles, the result is:
* $61 trillion in debt by 2035 at the current rate.
* A growing revolt from foreign bond buyers.
* A nation inching toward ‘Crisis 2033’—the year Social Security goes broke and debt interest consumes about half of all tax revenue.
In this episode, we also cover:
* Why blind optimism and aggressive ignorance are America’s real enemies.
* How NYC’s hard-left turn reveals stunning voter ignorance.
* The Corporate Transparency Act: a case study in bureaucratic insanity.
* The link between gold prices, central bank behavior, and debt markets.
* Why our undervalued gold picks are exploding while Treasury buyers flee. (
