Episode 290- Season Seven, New Bridges. With Rich Helppie
Episode 289
Thursday, 9 October, 2025

Season seven opens with a clear promise: fewer teams, more truth. We look straight at the incentives that keep America mad—legacy media chasing rage clicks, politicians swapping positions to score points, and a culture that treats every topic like a loyalty test—and we choose a different path. From the first minute, we ask whether the country is truly more divided or just more performative, and why the quiet middle is still hungry for facts, fairness, and practical wins that improve daily life.We dig into the government shutdown without the typical theater, separate health policy myths from the calendar realities of ACA subsidies, and interrogate the state of media trust as CBS signals an editorial reset toward “news that reflects reality.” That flows into a wider conversation about borders and enforcement: rejecting both open-border slogans and heavy-handed raids, and arguing for humane, targeted systems with firm limits on executive tools. We revisit the lawfare spiral through the Comey saga and shifting intelligence narratives, making the case that equal standards and transparent testimony are the only route back to shared legitimacy. The same principle guides our take on the Epstein files: protect victims, release evidence, and be accountable—whoever it touches.On the economy, we challenge the conflation of stock market highs and real wellbeing. AI enthusiasm may rhyme with past bubbles, while families still measure success by affordability, stability, and opportunity. We get specific about tariffs, rule certainty, and how dull-seeming policy architecture—like Canadian provincial liquor monopolies—can shape trade far more than speeches. Finally, we map the identity problems facing both parties: a GOP still orbiting Trump and Democrats stuck on questions many voters want answered in plain English. The answer isn’t new labels; it’s consistent principles. Defend civil liberties for everyone, talk policy over personality, and reward leaders who trade heat for light.Join us as we build on a fiercely nonpartisan mission with sharper reporting, deeper policy focus, and a growing community that keeps us honest.
