In this episode, we explore the geopolitics surrounding the conflict in Iran with special guest Dr. Nick Waddy, a historian specializing in European, African, and military history. Dr. Waddy shares his perspective on the current U.S. strategy toward Iran, arguing that recent actions aim to empower the Iranian opposition and dismantle a regime long accused of supporting terrorism. He examines how these moves align- or clash- with President Trump’s promises to avoid foreign wars and discusses the delicate balance between supporting freedom abroad and avoiding prolonged military entanglement.

The discussion widens to consider global dynamics: the potential involvement of powers like China, the influence of Israel and its lobby in U.S. policy, and the economic realities that shape modern conflicts. Dr. Waddy also addresses the constitutional dimension of military action without congressional approval, offering insights into how power has shifted from Congress to the presidency over time.

In this episode, we debut the Ricochet Round with Andy, taking a fast-paced tour through some of the most pressing issues shaping geopolitics and civil liberties today. We start with Iran and the broader Middle East, unpacking ongoing conflicts, the CIA and Western maneuvering, and the media narratives that sell both foreign and domestic agendas to the public. From there, we dive into propaganda, political polarization, and how different generations- from Boomers to Gen Z- are responding to “official” storylines.

We move into immigration policy and ICE operations in Minneapolis, where we question the moral and constitutional limits of federal power versus states’ rights; the glyphosate debate and agricultural policy, touching on the Farm Bill, liability shields, a global depopulation agenda; and the Ukraine conflict, framed through Western elite interests and manufactured consent. We also examine narco-vessel interdictions and counter-narcotics “showmanship,” the SAVE Act and voter ID fights despite broad public support, and finally Jeffrey Epstein’s network, alleged intelligence ties, and what his files reveal about global power structures.

We end the episode calling for involvement of the younger generations. It's time to step into the arena.

As CO2 pipelines, data centers, and “green” projects creep across America, we have to ask: Are they really about the public good or a massive land and resource grab hiding in plain sight? We are joined again by Jared Bossly and Mike Klipfel to unpack how federal programs and corporate interests are teaming up to target farmland, rural communities, and strategic properties under the banner of climate action and infrastructure “needs,” and how that’s colliding with eminent domain, state sovereignty, and basic property rights.

We discuss how locals in places like South Dakota are pushing back- fighting pipeline routes, 30‑year tax breaks for data centers, and legislation designed to override state protections. We make the point that the “squeaky wheel” really does get the grease...that remains true in every political battle we face.

We can't keep our heads down, or the battle is already lost. It is time to engage local officials and organize your community to defend your land, your vote, and your freedom.
