The Autopsy They Don't Want You to See: When Truth Threatens Power 12/21/2025

The Autopsy They Don't Want You to See: When Truth Threatens Power Dave and G.K. take on the malfeasance of the American media, exposing its deliberate refusal to report any positive developments connected to Donald Trump—including foster child adoptions and meaningful reductions in prescription drug prices. The guys also break down how Democrats are now burying the 2024 election autopsy, fearing that the truth would do more damage to the party than continued deception. Dave advises listeners to grab a large bucket of popcorn and a two-gallon jug of their favorite soda, because the internal Democrat infighting is about to get lit. They close the episode by laying out a path of patience and restoration, calling for a deliberate return to the biblical foundations that shaped America’s two cornerstone documents—the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

Madness on the Left, Clarity on Immigration 12/09/2025

Madness on the Left, Clarity on Immigration In this episode of Mining the Media, G.K. opens the show by tracking how the cultural left isn’t just drifting — it’s accelerating into full-scale absurdity. From ideological meltdowns to reality-free policymaking, he lays it all out with his trademark clarity and sharp wit. Then Dave steps in with the hammer of truth, cutting through decades of misinformation about the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. No memes. No spin. Just what the law actually says, what it actually did, and why social media continues to butcher it. And to drive the point home, MTM rides out on the first stanza of Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song — “We come from the land of the ice and snow…” Because when you’re dismantling immigration myths, nothing punctuates the moment like Robert Plant’s battle cry.

Why We Can't Have Nice Things 11/24/2025

Why We Can't Have Nice Things You’re going to want to buckle your seat belts and cinch those straps a little tighter. The guys kick things off with G.K.’s mental hors d’oeuvres from the brane buffet — starting with the real fight in Ukraine: minerals, money, and the geopolitical power plays nobody in corporate media wants to talk about. They move on to a story you probably didn’t hear outside conservative outlets: the U.S. House voting overwhelmingly for a resolution denouncing the horrors of socialism — including 86 Democrats breaking ranks to join Republicans. Lastly, Dave launches into a righteous rant cutting through the nonsensical media squabble between Tucker Carlson and various conservative pundits, exposing the real issue at the heart of the divide — and the only real solution to the mess we’re in.

From there, Dave turns up the heat with a blistering, biblically grounded comparison between the President’s rebuke of Democrats before ending the government shutdown and Jesus’ confrontation with the Pharisees — the infamous “brood of vipers” moment that called out hypocrisy at its core. G.K. shifts gears, asking Dave about the elite skill set of air traffic controllers, comparing it to the precision of brain surgery. Dave explains how the Obama and Biden Administrations dismantled FAA meritocracy — rejecting over 3,000 qualified candidates in favor of DEI quotas — calling it the number one safety issue in aviation today: not equipment, but manpower.

The Devil is in the Details G.K. and Dave launch this episode with an excerpt from Paul Harvey’s timeless 1965 monologue, If I Were the Devil. From there, the guys dig into how far the Democrat Party has fallen — so deranged and devoted to its radical leftist agenda that it can’t even bring itself to demand Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones end his campaign after he fantasized about murdering a Republican political opponent. Jones reportedly wrote that if he had only two bullets, one would go to his GOP rival — and he’d have to decide whether Adolf Hitler or Pol Pot deserved the second. The discussion continues as G.K. and Dave expose the Party’s moral decay and its refusal to congratulate President Trump on his historic diplomatic success in brokering genuine peace between Israel and Hamas.
