The Naked Apple

This week, instead of mulling over world ending stories, we examined three different items to help us gauge what time it is in the world today. First we look into the background leading up to Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. Then we explore the music and lyrics behind "Feed the Machine" by Poor Man's Poison. We top it all off by delving into the meaning behind vari...

This week has been filled with stuff that just isn't funny anymore. Our economy is tanking, energy prices are skyrocketing, groceries cut more out of family budgets, kids are being groomed for sex in elementary schools. Meanwhile, our politicians are playing political games to just increase their power. The world is upside down, and inside-out and we're expected to hold on, pretend this is normal...

This week we look at a handful of stories going on around the federal level and then we shift gears to a handful of stories that are by no means connected to each other. Seriously, no dots to connect there at all. Not a common thread to be found. Just things like the usual teen and young adult blood clot season, life expectancy dropping and a cure for cancer. All of these and more unconnected stor...

In light of former vice president Biden's speeches last week, we decided to ditch the news stories we had and turn or focus else where. In the end, all of the things we cover are pretty much the same thing, leading in the same direction. In order to be prepared for that direction and to hopefully prevent the arrival to that destination, we need to prepare ourselves. We dust off our scriptures to l...

This week we look at the worst game of hide and seek. Democrats shut down an amendment to the "Inflation Recovery Bill" that would have prevented the new IRS agents from auditing people making less than $400K. Department of energy casually states that every home is out of compliance for green energy stuff. The definitely nothing to hide affidavit was released, we pour over that to glean from the w...

We are both back in the saddle this week to bring you some stories and insight that we've rounded up over the last two weeks. We spend some time looking at various failures and incompetency of various law enforcement type agencies, leading up to the FBI raid on Donald Trump's home. If you missed the "I Have Rights" episode from a couple of weeks ago, it'd be a good refresher to see why these agenc...

This week, a highlight of some episodes that have come before. Mike needed some time to celebrate his family getting a little bigger, so we celebrate by highlighting some of our *ahem* .... finer... moments.  Thank you all for your growing support, and don't forget to spread the love via likes and all that. Oh and if you could send Mike some love, he'd love to see that in the comments and however...

This week's episode is a pre-recorded slice of history we did on looking at the rights specifically spelled out in the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights and why they're important. Various stories and articles we have covered recently have shown that people either don't know their rights or don't care about them, or both! With what has happened over this last weekend with Donald Tr...

This week we look to take offense! Or give it... It doesn't matter, we have fun either way. Biden let's us know what he really thinks about Americans. Representative Matt Gaetz takes the stage a couple of times in some shining moments. A plan to fight inflation by raising taxes and increasing energy costs. An ATF agent has an unfortunate run in with the law. The Census Bureau is looking for who bo...

This week we take a dive off the ol' warrant board. We cover a handful of stories of law enforcement trying to collect firearm owner information without a warrant. What could POSSIBLY go wrong with that? Some related stories as well, like a moment in congress where you can just feel the frustration of trying to explain away willful ignorance right up to straight up admitting the point of new gun l...

This week we take a peek way under the hood to see what evil is stirring from down below. We start off with some "experts" who can't find it within themselves to condemn infanticide and can't tell who decides when life begins. We look at how one can earn $250 by fulfilling a bounty on the supreme court justices' whereabouts. We also examine the horrors that are crisis pregnancy centers. We also di...

This week we explore two questions: Does history matter? Do Morals Matter? To guide us through these questions we look at a group and an individual who understand the importance of remembering history. We also look at a group trying to soil history. We then dig into some moral examples from Hunter Biden to a guy challenging the constitutionality of the ATF and others in between. Join us on our jou...

Once again, the quiet part has been said out loud so we dive down the rabbit hole to see what they mean. It's not good. Like cheap 80's info video with something that looks like the Death Star bad. We also examine both ends of the continental United States to see how California is doing vs. how Florida is doing, at least with what some of their leadership is up to. People want to leave the US... a...

The Supreme Court has certainly been busy with rulings. We weigh in on some of it and try to provide some better clarity and context and humor to it all. We also check in on how California is doing and see how far those 16 cents we saved last July 4th will take us this July 4th. All this and much more on this week's episode, we hope you have fun and thank you for the support.   Got a story or a qu...

Another week in the bag with a look at a couple of potential helps for our energy future, we just have to wait another ten years or so to get it.  Guns can't be banned so ammo is getting attacked right now. A Hot Mike moment with a "Veep Thought" from Kamala Harris. The Supreme Court makes a good call, though we can't help but point out some... dumb... takes within the decent. We also can't help b...

Two Slices of History in one month??? That just makes us swell with pride! *ahem* This week we share a large amount of research with you we've done to try to dig into the root causes of the ills of society. Namely that of mass shootings. While the gaping hole in the side of the ship that is the United States has water gushing in, the rest of us and our leaders are arguing and bickering about the s...

Some research on a subject we were hoping to get done in time, we didn't. So... By the seat of our pants, you get this episode. We dig into a potentially awesome cure for cancer. Meta being sued for causing child anorexia and depression. Some politicians/bureaucrats actually paying for their crimes, and more. PLUS!! We try out a new segment, working title is "An Apple A Day" where we go over some...

This week we bring you yet another slice of history. This week's topic is on the founder of Planned Parenthood. With the Supreme Court weighing an opinion on abortions in the next couple of months, we thought it relevant to get ahead of the curve to lay down some information on the woman that really started it all for America and a good chunk of the rest of the world. Join us on our journey as we...

This week we give you much of the same as before, but worse! Black outs? Worse! Covid info? Worse! Oil and gas issues? Worse! Our military related stuff? Worse! Russia stuff? Worse! DeSantis???? Better!! actually... All these things and more on this week's episode. Thank you all for your continued support!   ot a story or a question for us to cover? Send it here: thenakedapplebushel@gmail.com ---O...

How will aliens save our world? Well... they probably won't since they haven't already. In the mean time, we get to revel in things like canceled oil leases in Alaska. The "minister of truth" wanting to edit tweets and pick who edits tweets. Former Pfizer VP calling for people be charged with crimes against humanity. Congress getting to the bottom of UFO's which means probably nothing. These and m...

Whatever bit of sanity and reason was left in progressive leadership and activists' minds is apparently gone. This week we delve into the tenth amendment a bit and the rabbit hole of thinking it led us down. See how a story on California not having power this summer led to finding out how much each state relies on federal funds. It's fun. Oh, and yet another "Hot Mike" moment where we go in depth...

Since nothing interesting at all is happening in the news this week.... We have a special guest on the show to talk to us about what a caucus and convention are, how they work and why they're important. The roots of our republic stem from neighbors meeting together at churches, bars and taverns, discussing the topics that are important to them and, eventually, picking one among them to represent t...

Another week and the world is on fire because of... free speech? We dig into our new Twitter overlord and what that means to us and such. A couple of interesting covid related things. Another Hot Mike segment. Some foreign news that'll make you pull your hair out. Also some miscellaneous stories that lead us to using Urban Dictionary to debunk a hit piece that you won't want to miss. All of this a...

Are you being groomed? Most likely. In fact, most Americans are. No, not necessarily THAT type of grooming. Being groomed to accept that less energy is actually good for you? Plant based foods are what wealthy, healthy people should eat? And of course the media isn't helping push ANY type of grooming on you or on children at all... We cover all this, some strange IT issues with congress surroundin...

Not a whole lot going on this week. Just the FBI being exposed for entrapment in the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping. Police letting people into the capitol on January 6th. Joe Biden being implicated in shady, if not illegal, dealings via his son. And an announcement of a firearm ban right before a mass casualty event in the subway of New York. Not much going on at all. Don't forget to follow us on th...
