🎙️ Data & Dissonance — Tuesday, December 23, 2025

While Americans focus on Christmas week and year-end distractions, real power is being exercised far from the headlines. In this episode of Data & Dissonance, Artie and the panel break down the U.S. Coast Guard’s active pursuit of a third oil tanker linked to sanctioned Venezuelan oil, following the seizure of two others — a clear signal that sanctions are no longer just words on paper.

We examine what this enforcement means for global energy markets, why the timing matters, and who the real audience is for this message. Brian brings the unapologetic enforcement lens, Rachel cuts through the economic and geopolitical implications, Daniel connects the strategic dots, and Skylar challenges the conversation with concerns about humanitarian impact and transparency. This is a sober look at what happens when enforcement replaces excuses — and why it’s happening during Christmas week, when fewer people are paying attention.

No theatrics. No blurred narratives. Just analysis of what’s actually happening.

🎙️ Data & Dissonance — Monday, December 22, 2025

Christmas week begins — and instead of peace and reflection, the media cycle explodes once again with Epstein headlines, blurred photos, and viral accusations designed to inflame outrage rather than uncover truth.

In tonight’s episode, Artie and the panel break down the latest Epstein file controversy and expose a coordinated smear campaign targeting Donald Trump — including deliberately blurred images of Trump with his daughter Ivanka falsely labeled as “underage girls,” and recycled photos with Miss USA contestants rebranded as evidence of guilt. We dig into how misinformation spreads, why context is being intentionally erased, and how social media manipulation is warping public perception in real time.

Brian brings the MAGA fire, Rachel cuts through the spin with facts and logic, Daniel connects the dots behind narrative warfare, and Skylar challenges the panel from the progressive side — all while asking a bigger question: what happens when truth becomes optional?

We also kick off Christmas week by spotlighting the Data & Dissonance Christmas Album, now streaming everywhere. Faith-forward, patriotic, and 100% independent — built from the ground up without corporate filters.

This week on Data & Dissonance, we break down a series of events that reveal a growing divide between leadership and narrative control in America.

🔹 Trump signs an executive order reclassifying marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III — the most significant federal drug policy shift in decades, and one the political class never seemed willing to finish.
🔹 Trump addresses the nation on December 18, 2025, delivering a calm, deliberate message focused on order, accountability, and leadership — and exposing how uncomfortable some institutions become when authority doesn’t sound chaotic.
🔹 The latest verified updates from the Brown University shooting, and why elite campuses and legacy media handle certain tragedies with caution instead of clarity.
🔹 A brief but telling update on the arrest of Nick Reiner, son of Rob Reiner — and how media coverage changes when power and proximity enter the story.

No talking points. No spin. Just long-form analysis, competing perspectives, and a refusal to insult the audience’s intelligence.
