Messy Times

Combat Control, one of the most important arms of US Special Operations Forces, remains opaque to most Americans. Despite being the crucial connection between ground and air forces to coordinate bombings and overall flight operations in a war theatre, they have not gotten the same amount of public fame as their counterparts in the Army Rangers or Navy SEALs. That relative anonymity is about to end...

We are delighted to have John Faso visit us for a discussion about foreign policy, charter schools and the political realities underlying elections.  John served in the 115th Congress from 2017-2019 representing the 19th Congressional District in upstate New York.

Melissa Martz, Candidate for the US House of Representatives, joins Messy Times for a refreshing dialogue about our lively and invaluable Constitution and how her sense of Justice outraged by recent developments has moved her to run for Congress.   Child sex trafficking, fentanyl overdoses, oppressive governmental overreach – she touches on it all and more!    Join us for a welcome...

We are delighted to have James Fok visit us to share insights from his deep experience in the global capital markets and more specifically at the coalface of integrating two different financial systems.

His exce...

Can birds lie? Do birds lie? What are they chattering about anyway? Do feathers make the bird? These questions and more may or may not be answered by evolutionary biologist Jeremy Hyman during his highly Enlightentaining turn on Messy Times. Tune in! And be sure to buy his book: Bird Talk: An Exploration of Avian Communication: Ballentine, Barbara, Hyman, Jeremy, Webster, Mike: 9781501753428: Amaz...

Most people pay no attention to capital market structure, which is a wonky name for the ways in which a society interacting with regulators and governments creates the rules and practices for trading stocks, bonds, commodities and real estate.  We are delighted to begin a series of discussions on regional market structure issues and developments with David Alvarez, a long-time expert in globa...

We are joined in the Messy Times studio by Jim Thompson, one of the most knowledgeable experts on the global coal markets.  Our discussion ranges widely across the impacts to everyday Americans' quality of life and cost of living that arise from current fossil fuel "policies." Sit back, relax with a soothing beverage and tune in for a highly Enlightentaining discussion.  You'd better hop...

Messy Times is focused in 2022 on positivity.  It is easy to give everyone a sharp adrenaline burst of righteous rage by pointing out the details of myriad governmental failings.  But everyone else does that, which is partly why our levels of civility in engaging with others has been crumbling to dust.  Joining us for the first episode of 2022 is our old friend Heshy Tischler, who s...

A friend gave me a copy of a letter a local child wrote to Jen Psaki in the White House, thanking her for explaining why a treadmill is a luxury item that he does not need.  Pete Buttigieg if he ever returns from paternity leave should be proud of his many accomplishments.

The US Surgeon General issued an advisory titled "Protecting Youth Mental Health," which calls attention to the severe damage done to American children during the course of the Wuhan "pandemic." It may or may not be worth your time to read it, but Messy Times provides a 7-minute précis which strikes - as ever - to the heart of the matter. Excellent civilizations prioritize children over adults, no...

We at Messy Times are such fierce advocates for freedom that we have already been canceled by Woke Tech. We are joined in our passion for free people exercising their free will in free markets by the Honorable former Chairman of the CFTC, J. Christopher Giancarlo.

Former Minister Qujaukitsoq has deep experience in Greenland politics, having had portfolios including Mines, Labor, Finance and the Foreign Office. Now in private practice as a consultant, he joins Messy Times for a wide-ranging discussion touching on details around pending changes to the Minerals Act, the long and interesting history of dating-without-marriage between the United States and Green...

The Square Mile of Ancient Roman Londinium now serves as the United Kingdom's centre for financial services. Its freemen can drive their sheep over Tower Bridge without charge and when convicted of a capital offence, enjoy the privilege of being hanged with a silken rope rather than rough, savage hemp. Beyond enjoying and maintaining those ancient liberties, excellent City of London politicians li...

We at Messy Times love nothing more than delivering excellent news about wonderful people doing positive things for their communities.  We are delighted to host Allan Chemnitz, the President of Innovation South Greenland for a discussion about the economic and political development of Greenland, the bright prospects for business and clarifying some misconceptions about Greenland spread by irr...

Special update: You can only hear this here because the debate was taken down by some unaccountable YouTube censor sitting in its gender-fluid cubicle in Silicon Valley for "medical misinformation."  Yup!  We did it, folks!  We got CANCELED for having a reasoned debate! Mask mandates!  A topic no one is bored of by now!  Useful, reasonable tool slowing the spread of viral...

There are 60 container ships sitting idle off the California coast, due to Comrade Newsom's  freedom-quashing law banning truck drivers and others from running their own businesses, which dumb law's impact is magnified because of the insane and pointless Biden vaccine mandates. Supply chains across the nation are grinding to a halt. Inflation is skyrocketing as goods become scarce - in large...

Messy Times is honored to have Bepi Pezzulli join us for a robust discussion on the lost cause of European freedom and the lines of battle drawn here in the United States over the same whiny Marxist nonsense that has sapped Europe of its former vigor. His clarion call for renewed Thatcherite policies and a strong educational emphasis on the virtues of entrepreneurship is refreshing.   #BepiPe...

Rational Americans want real data about any vaccine's efficacy, its risks and whatever statistics are available, so each person can make decisions for themselves and their families about which vaccines to take.  The Biden Unity Government in its fervor to hide any of these facts from the American public has run roughshod over proven medical research processes and routinely trashes the rule of...

We at Messy Times love highlighting people building businesses around positivity. With a country driven to artificial antagonism by a deeply corrupt media who long ago gave up reporting objective news, we are delighted to take a break from the incessant negativity to showcase innovative people working hard to create their own way in the world.  Austen Alexander joins host Christopher Mes...

Newsom should be recalled today. Will he be? An exhortation ahead of the polls opening.  Good luck, Citizens of California in defeating the Californistan Comintern!

Finally we can get some ideological balance in the ivory tower! The American Left have whipped themselves into a state of irrational fear over the Wuhan Virus, so many professors are quitting their jobs because they believe "teaching is not worth risking their lives." Yahoo!  Time for rational Americans with PhDs to flood universities with CVs!  The Left know how to seize an opportunity....

In contrast to everything else these idiots are doing, we are all going to be grateful for the rampant inflation heading our way like a billion ton freight train without brakes.  Tune in to find out why I cancelled my subscription to the Wall Street Journal. My heart breaks for the Afghan people who are going to lose their lives because they helped coalition forces try to create a better futu...

Finally!  The absolute disgrace Governor Cuomo has resigned! Messy Times has been putting pressure on this clown from our very first recording and we are delighted to see our hard work has prevailed! Join us in dancing, music and bowls of wassail! The Wuhan Nursing Home Murderer, Economy Destroyer and Serial Gropist is exiting the Governor's Mansion!

In Heshy's third visit to the show, he discusses the malaise affecting everyday voters. Our glittering host Christopher Messina has been asking people across society to diagnose the ongoing decay of American society.   Heshy offers solid observations on the apathy and fear of average citizens just trying to live their lives (relatively) free of the jackboot of an aggressive and often illegall...

Rob Astorino is the next Governor of New York. Assuming, of course, that New Yorkers buck decades of habit and vote for a good candidate. Rob has proven that he can make government work - GASP! Wait for it... - on behalf of American taxpayers! He is stepping up to the plate to fix New York State, bringing with him the experience of telling everyone the last time he ran against Handsy Andy about ho...
