Unpopular Politics
Breaking down the issues of the left and right. What is true. What are lies. How do we know what to believe? What else may be their motives? That plus I throw in my two cents on the subject matter. Have a subject you want to discuss? Like what you hear? Do you want to hear more? Give me your thoughts and ideas and maybe I'll bring those subjects into an episode.

Cancel Culture for the Poor, Comeback Tours for the Rich 30.09.2026 1:01:56
No one is perfect. Each of us has made some sort of mistake in our lives. Many of us, more than one. The difference between actors, athletes, musicians, politicians, and the lay person is that the path to redemption varies primarily on a few, but powerful advantages that those in the public eye have at their disposal, but we the people aren't as likely to possess.

New Bonus Feature: The Town Square Episode 1: Same Old Song and Dance 29.09.2026 27:32
Part of the new bonus episodes, this is The Town Square. In this first episode, I give my take on the local political scene here in NH. Driving the streets as I do every day, I feel like I have a local subject that is always talked about nationally, but not locally... and maybe we should.
What is Real? 22.09.2026 1:01:37
Is Ai a fad? A tool? In regards to stocks, will there be a bubble that eventually pops like the dot.com or housing bubbles? More importantly, what are all these data centers doing and should we be concerned? Ai has been talked about for decades and it was only a matter of time before it became a reality. Which bodes the question... are we living in reality, or has Ai manipulated us to believe the...
High Tide, Short Memory 22.09.2026 53:30
What once wasn't even spoken has now become a trend that happens every election cycle. The talk about red/blue or more importantly.. waves. Political waves are often referred to when a specific political party comes through and replaces the other. The size of the wave is debatable and the actuality of it also. But when you have such a low expectation of congress, is it really a wave you want or so...
If We Only Had an Alternative 16.09.2026 28:25
Unapologetic. This is unfiltered. My views. My take. My ideas and beliefs. Maybe the rub you the wrong way, but we're in a dire situation with the cost of Gas/Oil and the only way out, may not be the one the politicians are pushing.
The Great American Kerfuffle 16.09.2026 55:25
Iran. We think this is the only problem when we look at our gas prices, but the reality is thee is a much larger problem that spreads far beyond the middle east. No amount of tweets, texts, truths or posts are going to fix it. So what are some of the major points? That's what I'll talk about.

Not your Grandpa's Socialism? 08.09.2026 1:01:49
Populist movements have been a part of politics for a very long time. Recently, Donald Trump returned to the White House running on a populist movement. But like all things, when one movement goes to far or sputters, another lurks in the shadows preparing to take control. Enter the Democratic Socialist movement. What are they and how different are they from traditional socialist movements? I'll tr...
And the signs say... 07.09.2026 55:30
We are in the midst of a hotly contested political midterm season. The fate of the House and Senate as well as a populist agenda are on the line. Millions if not billions of dollars dumped into political ads may/will flood our tv screens, social media and even streaming platforms. But the money may not come from whom you think and the messages this year may not be the same populist message we hear...
Nine Opinions Nobody Asked For 02.09.2026 57:42
Welcome back to season 2! This season I'll recap some of the topics I missed during the summer, share my "unfiltered" opinion and get us up to speed on the current affairs. First up: the end of term Supreme Court rulings of 2026. Http://oldglory.com Http://strongcoffeecompany.com Http://aspiredrinks.com Promo Code: UNPOP92

Coming in 2026, a new bonus feature I call: Unfiltered. No holds barred. Explicit language. Political topics viewed through my eyes and solely based on my unique opinions and theories. Come for the topic, leave with an Unfiltered view of American politics.
Unpopular Politics the Revamp 07.07.2026 1:41
Unpopular politics is getting a fresh makeover with a slew of new episodes, bonus materials and much, much more. Check back in for the next iteration of the show in September 2026!
Illusions of Choice 25.06.2026 49:06
Left-Right. It doesn't matter. For decades, politicians have made grand promises and not delivered. When there is a backlash, the party leaders clamp down and stop the extremists or pragmatists from changing their base or corrupting their supporters, because if you lose support, you lose power.. you lose control.
I can't believe it's not news 23.06.2026 57:44
Fake News! This widely used political term today was used once before, but has become a growing theme in the political narrative that the parties like to use to describe either untruthful reports, or just as a dumbed down phrase to deflect from reality.
Let's make a deal 19.06.2026 57:07
Will there ever be a deal made with Iran? If so, how much will Israel affect it's outcome? One thing for certain, the current plans being thrown around are not good and many people even on the right are calling it a bad deal. I'll share some of my thoughts that expand beyond Iran into China as well as what this latest war has done to shake up the world powers.
Dreamers, Deportations and the Dance for votes 16.06.2026 1:02:58
Nearly every single topic in America at one time felt singular, yet today each and every one is tied to the other through politics. More importantly, to how you view politics. While we do have our similarities, it's the differences that politicians push because it keeps their supporters in line and allows for the politicians to maintain their power and control over us. Immigration, like all topics...
I've got a secret 10.06.2026 1:00:16
Secrets are something we all have. At some point in time, those secrets are revealed while others may vanish into oblivion. But in order to keep a secret, one mustn't reveal the secret because the more people who know, the chances of that secret spreading and one day revealing itself to the masses can be damaging. America itself is built on secrets, but it's the conspiracy theories that people cre...
The Chaos Escalation 02.06.2026 1:02:35
America is on a downward path and those in power are embracing it, even turning a blind eye to it. Many of them know what's at stake, but few say anything because of fear of retaliation. Billionaires are building compounds or fleeing the US for one reason or another leaving us to survive/fix the chaos they've created for us.
Who really is controlling the 5D Chessboard? 27.05.2026 1:05:53
It's a war. It's a conflict. It's an exercise. We're in a cease fire. We're still shooting. A deal is in place. No deal is in place. Welcome to the Iran/USA conundrum. A little bit of history will tell us that what some may have hoped would be a quick and easy in and out, might in fact become a messy mistake.
The History of Decoration Day 25.05.2026 52:05
This episode is a history lesson on the origins of Decoration Day and how it ultimately became Memorial day. I'll share some interesting tidbits as well as a fair share of social media bias that's turned a moment we used to use to honor the dead as a propaganda tool for our politics.
Tuesday's Prime(ary) Cuts 20.05.2026 49:02
A few high profile primaries have taken place across the country in the past week. What does it say about each party, their candidates and the future going forward?
All dressed up and no tribe to hang with 19.05.2026 51:14
People seem to think the political climate today is worse than it has ever been. This episode, I'll give you a little history lesson on Tribalism and let you be the judge.
There. Are. Four lights! 08.05.2026 57:09
Your eyes can play tricks on you or is it just that you've been lied to for so long, that you can no longer see the truth? Gaslighting plays a big role in convincing you that you're wrong and because of this, more Americans are finding it harder to get a rational grasp on reality and relying more on conspiracy theories.
I don't know why I go to Extremes 02.05.2026 50:31
Extremism. In politics, it's been steadily on the rise. Fueled by "network" tv and social media, what we once thought of as our political beliefs have steadily changed with the aid of people in power who are more interested in the money that lines their politics. The result is the gradual decay of America.
Whose shutdown is it anyways? 22.04.2026 51:56
The debate over the current government shutdown. Who is at fault, who isn't? Throughout the course of the Great American Experiment, we've had plenty of hotly contested moments that defined us as a nation, until now.
I'll have a coffee, bagel and some outrage 17.04.2026 1:03:22
No democracy can exist unless each of its citizens is as capable of outrage at injustice to another as he is of outrage at injustice to himself. -Aristotle
