THE COMPARISON GUY PODCAST

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Some may not realize it but the midterm primaries start in just a couple of months. Unfortunately, the DNC declined to release the findings of the 2024 election postmortem. I figured I would do it for them. This episode is an honest harsh look back at what, in my opinion went wrong. I discuss a couple of the biggest issues ripping the Democratic party apart and question why it has...

TIME FOR MY ANNUAL WHAT I GOT WRONG EPISODE. I COVER MY MISTAKES ON IMMIGRATION, EXPECTATIONS OF THE MEDIA, STRATEGIES ON DEALING WITH TRUMP AND MORE. GIVEN RECENT TRAGIC NEWS AROUND THE WORLD, I TRIED TO KEEP IT LIGHT BUT STILL DRIVE HOME A POINT. WE HAVE TO START EXPECTING AND DEMANDING BETTER FROM OURSELVES AND THE PEOPLE WE PUT IN CHARGE. IF NOT, NEXT YEAR WILL MAKE THIS YEAR LOOK LIKE A PEACE...

How do you make an educated, intelligent, experienced politician or journalist sound like an idiot? Ask their opinion about something Donald Trump did or said. This week exposed yet again how smart people say really silly things because of their obsession with Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump and any hint of a scandal that could take them down. As usual, we were taken to the heights of pleasure with tal...

Affordability is the word on everyone's lips. Given that, I can't help but wonder if we are having an honest and complete conversation on the topic. I attempt to do that in this episode and provide stunning data and an excellent study from MIT to reinforce my thoughts. With black Friday and the holiday season upon us the greatest gift you can give me is an honest listen. I truly believe li...

Thought I would do a quick episode to give my thoughts on the latest news about Jeffrey Epstein and the release of emails by the house of representatives. What do the emails show and will they lead to more revelations regarding years of abuse against young women? I give my thoughts along with some hope for what we can learn and do differently going forward to protect the vulnerable. Please share,...

Well, the longest government shutdown in history is over. I explain exactly why it did not go the way democrats hoped. I explain the lessons to be learned from using shutdowns as a bargaining tool. I discuss the changes democrats need to make going forward if they want to score wins against Trump. As always, I offer my ideas, suggestions, and solutions in hopes it will inspire conversation. Please...

Election night is over and it was not good for the Republicans. Democrats won the races for governor in New Jersey and Virginia. Self proclaimed Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani handed Andrew Cuomo and some republican in a girl scout's hat a resounding defeat. I look forward with cautious optimism and make a plea for unity within the democratic party. I discuss what fundamental differences...

Election day for the Mayor's race in New York City,and the Governors races in New Jersey and Virgina are just days away. I give my predictions on who will win as well as some pros and cons we may see as a result. With the government still entrenched in a bitter shutdown fight, I offer an approach to a resolution as well as a path forward to more civility. As a capitalist, I offer the strongest...

THE NO KINGS RALLY DREW MILLIONS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. IT GOT ME THINKING, WHO'S REALLY MORE POWERFUL IN PRESENT DAY AMERICA? I DISCUSS TRUMP'S USE OF POWER VS. THE DEMOCRATS USE OF THEIR POWER IN OPPOSITION. I EXPLAIN WHY I THINK THE DEMOCRATS AND LEFT LEANING INFLUENCERS ARE LETTING US DOWN. I OFFER MY IDEAS HOW TO FIGHT TOE TO TOE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS. GOVERNMENT SHU...

WELL, AT LEAST BAD BUNNY DIDN'T WIN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. AS THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN CONTINUES FOR A SECOND WEEK, BOTH PARTIES APPEAR TO BE STUCK ON STUPID. I DISCUSS A CLIP FROM THE MEDIA THAT COMPLETELY FAILED TO DO WHAT THE MEDIA IS SUPPOSED TO DO: INFORM. GOOD NEWS AND DUE CREDIT TO PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR A HOPEFUL CEASEFIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS. IT MAY NOT GET TRUMP THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZ...

The truth is like anal sex... not EVERYONE is interested in receiving it. Never the less, I continue to hack my way through the latest breaking news. The Jimmy Kimmel firing and subsequent rehiring, Israel's push into the Gaza Strip, Trump's executive order on Tik-Tok, and the continuing political violence in the country. This includes a recent attack on a ICE detention facility in Dallas,...

POLITICAL ACTIVIST CHARLIE KIRK WAS SHOT AND KILLED ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS. SOME MAY SAY A COLLEGE CAMPUS IS WHERE YOU GO TO LEARN AND EXCHANGE IDEAS. TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, DIFFERENT LIFE EXPERIENCES. A COLLEGE CAMPUS MIGHT BE WHERE MANY OF YOUR LIFE VIEWS ARE SHAPED. WE KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THE MOTIVES OF TYLER ROBINSON OR WHAT TRULY SHAPED HIS LIFE VIEWS. WHAT IF WE...

DAD AND I HAVE A HEATED DISCUSSION ON TOPICS RANGING FROM TRUMP'S POLICIES TO DEMOCRAT'S STRATEGY. IT IS AMAZING THAT WE COULD AGREE ON WHO DONALD TRUMP IS, AND YET BE SO FAR APART ON WHAT DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE DOING TO OPPOSE HIM. WHY DOES IT SEEM SO HARD TO GET ON THE SAME PAGE IF WE WANT THE SAME OUTCOME? THIS CONUNDRUM IS ONE THE DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE TO GRAPPLE WITH IF THEY PLAN ON WINNIN...

The messaging battle rages on over Donald Trump's immigration policy. All of the fury from the left has not seemed to dissuade the Trump administration from pursuing mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. After listening to Maria Teresa Kumar, President of Voto Latino, I pondered what the democrats next move should be. Focus from democrats is the key as Trump threatens to do away with mail i...

I KNOW EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT TRUMP'S D.C. TAKEOVER AND THE NATIONAL GUARD. I KNOW EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE SUMMIT WITH PUTIN. I KNOW EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE TEXAS AND CALIFORNIA REDISTRICTING, BUT HOW THE HECK DID WE GET HERE? HOW THE HECK DID WE GET HERE AGAIN?!! I TAKE AN IMPORTANT LOOK BACK AT A KAMALA HARRIS TOWN HALL DONE JUST BEFORE THE 2024 ELECTION FOR ANSWERS. IT IS IMP...

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO GET GOOD RELIABLE INFORMATION? DO WE NEED A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO MAKE HONEST MEDIA A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT? THE JOBS REPORT INCLUDING DISASTROUS REVISIONS, JD VANCE AND THE OHIO RIVER, TARIFFS AND THE ECONOMY, THE CONTIUING EPSTEIN GHISLAINE MAXWELL SAGA, THE CENSUS, IMMIGRATION, FIRINGS, DEAN CAIN..... CALGON TAKE ME AWAY.

When you are in a hole, stop digging. How much deeper into the void of stupidity will we go before common sense returns? Going viral, getting clicks, winning the news cycle, cashing in. Epstein files, mass deportation, ICE raids, "big beautiful bills", MAGA, progressives, moderates. All being discussed by the least trustworthy members of our society. How much more can our country endure?...

The Jeffrey Epstein story has dominated news coverage all week. Where is the client list? Where are his files? Who are the people wrapped up in this sordid story. Trump feels the heat from his own MAGA base and the left is loving it. I have some questions that have not come up very much. I also caution people not to fall prey to the exact same conspiracy theroy you are laughing at others for falli...

THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL OR AS SOME WOULD CALL IT THE BIG UGLY BILL HAS PASSED THE HOUSE AND IS ON IT'S WAY TO BE SIGNED BY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR MILLIONS ON MEDICAID? WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR DONALD TRUMP'S LEGACY? CAN THE DEMOCRATS STILL REALLY CALL THEMSELVES THE RESISTANCE PARTY? I DISCUSS WHY I THINK THE DEMOCRAT'S "TAKE FROM THE POOR TO GIVE TAX CUTS TO...

As the dust settles from Israel's attacks on Iran, along with President Trump's bombing of Iran's nuclear facilites, questions remain. Trump may want to move on to fight with Thom Tillis over his big beautiful bill, but I'm not so sure the conflict is over. There is still a humanitarian crisis in the gaza strip as well as reports the damage to Iran's nuclear program was not as...

THE PROTESTS AGAINST ICE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT IN L.A. RAGE ON. ISRAEL LAUNCHES A LONG ANTICPATED ATTACK ON IRAN'S NUCLEAR FACILITIES. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PONDERS WHETHER THE US SHOULD GET INVOLVED, BUT SENATOR TED CRUZ MAY HAVE SPILLED THE BEANS THAT WE ALREADY ARE IN AN INTERVIEW WITH TUCKER CARLSON. LASTLY, A HORRIFIC ATTACK CLAIMED THE LIVES OF A MN STATE SENATOR AND HER HUSBAND AND I...

SO SORRY! NO VIDEO THIS EPISODE. I HAD TECHNICAL ISSUES AND DID NOT WANT TO DELAY RELEASING A NEW EPISODE ANY LONGER. I WANTED TO DISCUSS THE ONGOING PROTEST AGAINST ICE IN CALIFORNIA. SHOULD DONALD TRUMP HAVE SENT IN THE NATIONAL GUARD WITHOUT ASKING GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOME OR MAYOR KAREN BASS? ARE THE PROTEST AGAINST ICE JUSTIFIED? I DISCUSS THIS ALONG WITH THE FUED BETWEEN ELON AND TRUMP. AS ALW...

THIS IS THE VIDEO VERSION OF THIS EPISODE. I DISCUSS THE EFFECTS AND DAMAGE FROM THE WAY WE CONSUME INFORMATION IN THE COUNTRY. AS ALWAYS, I OFFER MY IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS BECAUSE ANYONE CAN RANT ABOUT OUR PROBLEMS. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, "WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY." I HOPE YOU FIND IT INTERESTING AND WILL SHARE YOUR IDEAS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION.

Now that the republican controlled house has passed President Trump's "big beautiful bill" it will be the senates turn to fight over the details. Meanwhile, the democrats continue the tug of war for power between progressives and more moderate voices within the party. I discuss how this is damaging the country and as always, offer ideas suggestions and solutions. Please remember to s...

THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF NEWS SINCE MY LAST EPISODE. THE GOP HAS RELEASED A FIRST DRAFT OF PROPOSALS FOR A RECONCILIATION BILL THAT INCLUDES TAX CUTS AND POTENTIAL CUTS TO MEDICAID. THE CHINA TARIFFS HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD, INFLATION IS DOWN, AND TRUMP SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO LOWER DRUG COST. I OFFER MY SUGGESTIONS TO DEMOCRATS FROM MY CENTRIST POINT OF VIEW HOW TO DEAL WITH SUCH A ROLLERCOASTE...
