There’s $1.5 trillion sitting in the Social Security Administration’s “Earnings Suspense File” — money collected from payroll taxes that no one can legally claim.

In this episode, Rich and Bruce unpack how these funds ended up trapped in bureaucratic limbo: from typos and fake Social Security numbers to undocumented workers and employers looking the other way.

It’s a deep dive into one of America’s most overlooked financial mysteries — the hidden billions that keep piling up, unseen and untouched, while politicians argue about Social Security’s solvency.

🎧 Tune in for a straight-shooting conversation on accountability, government inefficiency, and where that $1.5 trillion really came from.

D.C. crime headlines flip faster than the news cycle — we cut through the chaos, the spin, and the politics to show what’s really going on in America’s capital.

Podpinions Episode 18 dives into a range of hot topics, starting with Trump's intervention in cities struggling with crime and the backlash from Democrats. The hosts discuss the potential political traps and the need for citizens to hold elected officials accountable. They transition to the topic of the current generation's responsibility to improve society and the importance of voter registration.

The conversation shifts to the influence of Chinese students in US universities, questioning the balance between trade agreements and national interests. They touch on Marjorie Taylor Greene's stance on the issue and the potential backlash.

The hosts then explore societal changes, including the decline of community, the rise of sterile environments, and the impact of technology on human interaction. They reminisce about knowing neighbors and the loss of compassion in modern society.

The discussion moves to parenting styles, contrasting "because I said so" with over-explanation, and the importance of protecting children. They share personal anecdotes about childhood experiences and the lessons learned from them.

The episode concludes with a critique of Cracker Barrel's recent changes, suggesting a return to its original style and values. They also discuss the decline of 24-hour diners and the rise of microplastics in everyday products. The episode ends with a discussion on the rise of crimes committed by illegal aliens and the importance of legal immigration.

Retired NYPD helicopter pilot Derin De Vuono (20-year NYPD veteran; Chinatown’s 5th Precinct → 10 years in the Aviation Unit → finished in the 60th Precinct, Coney Island) joins Bruce & Rich for a raw, first-person look at New York City corruption, policing culture, media narratives, and the nation’s mood in the immediate aftermath of the reported shooting of Charlie Kirk (as discussed in this episode’s timeline).

We cover Derin’s path into specialized policing and aviation rescue (East, Harlem & Hudson Rivers), the administrative games and “performance” quotas that warp incentives, and why he believes NYC has been running on endemic financial/political corruption for years. From there, the table talk turns national: how media and social feeds shaped the reaction to the Kirk news, what free speech & satire should look like (yes, South Park comes up), the flags-at-half-mast debate, and gun-law misunderstandings (incl. confusion over a Mauser vs. “military rifles”).

The hosts grapple with division and responsibility—registering as an independent, earning votes, and rejecting celebration of political violence—ending with a straight ask to register and vote if you haven’t yet. Whether you agree or not, this is a candid conversation with someone who’s been in the cockpit over NYC and isn’t shy about how he sees the country right now.

Guest: Derin De Vuono — Retired NYPD Helicopter Pilot (Aviation Unit), 20 years NYPD
Hosts: Bruce Kolar & Rich Szabo (Podpinions)
Note: Episode commentary reflects the conversation as recorded; real-world claims are discussed as the hosts and guest present them in the moment.

Radioactive shrimp, political corruption, and immigration chaos collide in Podpinions Episode 17.

Rich and Bruce start with radioactive shrimp headed for Walmart, then widen the scope to food contamination and weak oversight. The episode dives into Adam Schiff’s fund, Trump, whistleblowers, and North Korea arms smuggling. Illegal immigration, voter fraud, and child abuse cases drive the debate home. The closing call—accountability and term limits.
