Hot Water History

In the fullness of time in history, wherein so many nefarious forces have revealed their methods and their claws all at once--from socialism, COVID, Epstein, globalists, war-mongers, Zionists, and the rest of the cabals--the Catholic Church had the opportunity of opportunities to promote and defend Divine Majesty and human dignity in light of the Incarnation. And, she totally dropped the ball. At...

As "Merica" is about to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Gary goes under the knife and for the life of him cannot find any meaning behind the semiquincentennial. Murray Rothbard at 100 bears much more meaning as it was dear Murray who demystified economics and elaborated on the legacy of the Austrian school with such brilliance that he rendered it the unassailable system that it runs as today. Tur...

"Archbishop" Ronald Hicks of New York appears to relish his ministry of worshiping dominant trends and fads in secular culture while making every actually faithful Catholic cringe at his neediness and accommodations. Nothing hits as more Catholic than waving around FIFA and Knicks jerseys and donning a fedora on Puerto Rican Day. So awkward. So sheepish. So ghey. Hicks's own elevator-in-chief--pla...

Antipope Prevost issues his first major encyclical--if you want to call it that. It is more of a written rant by a 60 year old woman who has had a little too much cabernet sauvignon. Is there a better description for Prevost than a tipsy Karen who is finally on top after slumming it with Che Guevara t-shirt wearers and now finally finds himself with an audience and pen? The slavery of anti-capital...

Thomas Massie had the "people's seat" of the 4th District of Kentucky bought out from under him and then outright stolen from said people by three disgusting Jewish billionaires who have dedicated their lives to making the United States Israel's bitch. Is that too blunt? Tucker Carlson and Owen Benjamin wax sagacious about what it means to be treasured by this world alone because you treasure its...

Founder and brew master at Tridentine Brewing, magnus Trevor Alcorn, is back on the show to announce the upcoming release of Tridentine's newest offering, Sacred Flame Imperial Red Ale, just in time for June--the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. St. John Eudes and St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, pray for us! The rest of the time on Trevor's fourth spin on the Hot Water History wheel is sp...

Pope Leo XIV (aka. Antipope Robert Prevost) and, unfortunately all-too-real President Donald Trump engage in their latest kayfabe, dramatic fight over U.S. war campaigns in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. This time, unlike on sovereignty and mass migration, Prevost is right--even if his denunciation of the Zionist wars has all of the traits and looks of modernist, globalist, "all we are saying is give pea...

Charlie has an ecstatic experience in prayer made all the more joyful since it was both a foretelling of his eternal end but also a departure from descending back down to the state of things in Illinois. As the Roman historian Tacitus correctly declared: Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges, that is: When the republic is at its most corrupt, the laws are most numerous. How much more the case wh...

Should I stay or should I go now? If I go there will be trouble; if I stay there will be double. Seems to me the reveries of expatriation from the United States are so pleasing not because there is some paradise on earth where all problems melt away for the long haul but because the end of the empire here bears no resemblance to what attracted so many to America in the past. Schizophrenic death th...

Lightning strikes the Vatican--again!--as the official Church does little to nothing to address the real, existential problem of Masonic-Zionism while war rages. It is not so hard to pick a side: Prevost and his limp wristed fellow prelates should at least know to align with the clear victims of unjust war and genocide. And they cannot even do that; after all that could endanger their hard comprom...

Here we go again--yet another sure-to-be-disastrous regime collapse war that cannot even be remotely justified under the criteria of Catholic Just War doctrine. The United States government is a proud, murderous vassal state of Israel. It carries out Zionist wars of imperial aggression with slavish obedience. All of this is most certainly being done at the demons' behest. Thousands of innocents in...

John-Henry Westen summarizes the ecclesial and hierarchical crisis in the Church. This time, it is really a top-down problem worsened by the near-total lack of proper catechesis delivered to the faithful over sixty years now. The conciliar and synodal apparatchiks in the Church have succeeded only in distilling modernism and complete obeisance to it. So, where are the supposedly good cardinals of...

The same civilization that brought consent and liberty, science and philosophy, art and theology is on its last leg. Outside of belief and reliance upon Christ, there's little to nothing to point to a revival. States the world over are poisoning society as much as they are the skies. Prayer and fasting are necessary escapes and means to elevate our souls. We ask for a prayerful Lent for all of our...

Going on four years now, we have arrived at 200. Thanks be to God for granting us persistence and dedication to bring to the world the light of Catholicism and the truth of anarcho-capitalism. Much appreciation for all the guests who have appeared on the show. Deep gratitude to our listeners who we hope have, like we your humble hosts, contracted the liberating bug of deep cynicism and hated towar...

Intrepid investigative work is not needed. All you have to do is look up and notice the constant chemtrails emanating from planes far and wide and see the poisoning of the skies. You're constantly coughiing. Your sinuses are irritated, and there is almost unrelenting congestion. This, of course, is not to mention the weird snow in the American South which does not melt when put to flame, but inste...

A powerful double-entendre here: Israel understands blockbusting in a rather literal sense while Oak Park realtors assert and self-congratulate for their own role in breaking up all white stretches in "the Village". Different strokes for different folks... The synagogue of Satan has been quite busy in recent months and days, what with Jared Kushner among several letting the cat out of the bag rega...

With bald-faced imperial aggression that bares no distinction from the mercantilist and nationalist racket of the 19th century powers, the thoroughly neo-conservative Trump administration launches a regime-change war against Venezuela. Not North Korea, mind you. Venezuela has long been a target, but the trigger was ultimately pulled once CITGO's valuation reached a low point, was then forcefully s...

Just like the typical navels, ins are good and the outies are gross. Gary and Charlie recap what rose to favor and fell out of it throughout 2025. Hilarity and brilliance ensue. Donald Trump has an outie, but we are going to leave it up to braver souls to confirm. Oak Park is annually out. www.hoth2ohistory.com @HotH2OHistory @chuckwest20 BUY TRIDENTINE BEER: www.tridentinebrewing.com BUY GARY TRI...

Garys unite as noble warriors fighting the best of fights against central banking and intelligence agency cartels. The effort cost heroic journalist Gary Webb his life as he was murdered for uncovering the incredible continuation of the Iran-Contra Affair--you know--the part when the CIA aided and abetted the importation of thousands of tons of crack cocaine into the United States so as to debilit...

Big Pharma looks to have its dead kid bounce--redefining a saying in the most murderous of ways; that is to say it looks to evade just retribution for its programed juvenile homicide while continuing in the hubris of still pushing mRNA injections. And the government is on board for it all. Two great Reformation saints remind us of the almost sure destinations of those who war against natural law a...

Sure Chicago Public School students can't read, write nor do basic arithmetic, but that's all because their brilliant and talented teachers have had their development as instructors throttled by budget restrictions pertaining to professional training! They only got to spend $26.3 million on luxurious vacations from Finland to South Africa and they were just about to become master mathematicians wh...

Who knew Grok would come out as hard-core Catholic Traditionalist? Gary put Grok to the orthodoxy test, and he came up roses. What a bizarro world in which we live wherein an LLM, AI would absolutely smoke nearly all current Catholic bishops in terms of, well, their Catholicity. It's not so much the intelligence or knowledge deficit that stands as so striking, but rather the sensus fidei. Plus, Gr...

Maybe Charlie Kirk isn't dead? How many "Charlies" were there? How many "Erikas" are there? Safe bet that there are more Erikas than actual tears shed by the current leading lady. That handkerchief she styles is drier than the Sahara. Watch just the trailer for the Nicholas Cage "Snake Eyes" (1998) movie and then tell us everything is as it seems to be. Seems to be, however, that Robert Prevost is...

Ana Kasparian is on fire while Erika Kirk is a C-List actress who must have failed the theater class whose final required miming a woman in grief. Candace Owens appears to be the only one of Charlie Kirk's former close friends and confidants who is acting as any sane person would at the slaying of a loved one. And if you are one of the few hold outs buying Kash Patel's Valhalla story starring Pats...

On the eve of the release of Francis/Leo's first exhortation, Gary and Charlie hit at one of the cabal-progressives' favorite talking points; namely, "building unity". Be sure: Whenever you hear a rent-seeking incompetent midwit (the Church and government are absolutely dominated by them today) mention unity, what they are really saying--in the thinnest of rhetorical veneers--is that unity under t...
