Why Congress Keeps Funding Agencies Everyone “Hates” || 1722
Congress is “useless,” the bureaucracy is built to be permanent, and the executive branch can only do so much, even when everyone is yelling “America First.” In this episode, we break down why Trump can’t simply delete agencies with a pen, why judges keep blocking funding throttles, and why Republicans keep signing and passing monster bills anyway. Key beats: Why “unitary executive” hits a wall when Congress created and funds the agency The USAID-style bloat example: US African Development Foundation, audits, fraud, and why it still survives The shutdown nobody noticed, the bill everyone signed, and why “later” always wins Voter ID polling vs the SAVE Act reality, plus why Real ID took forever If you’re tired of the rhetoric and want to talk incentives, power, and what actually changes policy, this one’s for you.

What the Epstein Files Still Don’t Prove and Why That Matters || 1721
Everyone wants the Epstein “files” to be the big smoking gun. But what if most of what’s getting circulated is not prosecutable, not verifiable, and tailor made for political spin? In this episode, we break down what actually surfaced, why tip-line accusations and muddy internet “evidence” don’t equal court-ready proof, and how the real story might be the power structure that keeps these operations possible in the first place. We also dig into the weirdest redactions, and the Elon Musk email chain that fuels speculation without proving anything. Key beats: Why “release the files” doesn’t automatically mean “prosecute the criminals” Tip lines, fake numbers, AI images, and the incentives to fabricate “new” leaks The real problem: unchecked power and a giant pool of stolen money 00:00 Intro 01:51 Epstein Files: The Latest 03:59 The Power Structure Created the Problem 07:01 Trump and the Epstein Files 19:04 Elon Musk and the Epstein Connection 21:24 Pizza Emails 25:25 Did Elon Muck go to Epstein's Island 27:23 The search for Justice and Accountability 37:09 What's Next 🔗[ALL LINKS]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

Then we revisit COVID-era gaslighting, natural immunity, and the Paul Offit admissions that make “we didn’t know” sound like a cover story. 🚨Prolon is offering listeners 15% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day Program!
