TrentTakesOn 2.0

Asking the tough questions today about the competency of the regime's national security team...as in, what the hell are these guys doing? Oh, and they've done a lot of lying.   A lot. A whole bunch. Too much. -T

Dark clouds, my friends.  Dark clouds everywhere.  A brief discussion on our first amendment rights that are under fire, problems with immigration enforcement and ignoring court orders. And the department of education does good things, but not to a regime that wants a stupid public. Love you all, -T

In this episode, I answer a question from my friend Jorge...it was a really good question. Why do I talk about politics so much on a show designed to be left for my kids like a time capsule? Come find out. -T

In a surprising fiery episode, I've discovered just how much I hate being lied to constantly.  Who on earth could be doing that? There's also some important information on social security and the future of our shared safety net...or lack of a future of our shared safety net.  AND I explain what Transmusophobia is!!! Good times. -T

So there was a meeting in the Oval Office today between leaders of the country formerly known as the United States of America and the sovereign nation of Ukraine, which went...poorly. That's right, we the people of the good ole USA are on the side of the invading Russians thanks to our compromised president. We used to fight against the Ruskies...now we defend them. How far have we fallen?  P...

In this episode, I detail without detailing a bit of good trouble I've been engaging in for the last couple of weeks.  Names and places have been omitted purposefully to avoid "entanglements." Values and ideology are important.  In all parts of life.   Heads up, and be good humans. -T

Leon Mush and his Department of Greater Evils are running amok in the US government with no mandate, no oversight and no fear of reprisal...what could possibly go wrong? Things have gotten very dark, very quickly...and that's BEFORE you dissect the social message from this weekend absolving delusional fools from legal account for what could be nefarious actions. I ate my smart flakes this mor...

What is leadership?  Does it matter?  Who's showing it and how?  How many times can Trent be interrupted and maintain his train of thought?  (Spoiler Alert:  2.5) We're suffering a real dearth of leadership (and an excess of vocabulary) these days...and I've got real issues with this new reality. We can do this...together. -T

It's been a long 97 months...wait...nine days?  NINE DAYS!?!  Holy smokes, how are we gonna get thru this?  Well...I've got some ideas.  Some good, some...less good.  But we gotta start somewhere.  Talking about deportations and the fallout you weren't thinking about and the ultimate power grab by Trump...freezing spending in violation of the laws and constitution of this country. ...

Back in action after a month of family and being disconnected from the interwebs by choice, TTO is back and talking DEI and "wokeness" in an effort to explain in plain language what conservatives are truly saying. Just another imperfect day, right?   Love and defiance, - T

Back from a week of illness/priorities, this week is all about budgets.  How do they work?  What does the government's budget look like?  How do you simultaneously produce massive tax cuts while promising massive spending cuts that don't touch social security, medicare or the military?  (You can't, it's impossible) Has America been sold a vision of prosperity that is complete b...

Originally published 12/03/2021.  Santa Claus isn't the only magical being visiting sleeping houses around the world during the holiday.  Learn a little about the Krampus. Creepy, cool, or both?  You decide. Have a listen, a laugh and pair with a hot buttered rum and a pie of pie...or a donut...or Danish...cinnamon roll...holy cow I'm hungry! Happy Holidays! -T

Such a complex and confusing world we have built to live in.  What does it mean to make mistakes, learn from them, and gain experience which improves your judgement? How do we use better judgement to be better leaders? These are important discussions to have, people!   Love, Peace and Bobby Sherman -T

Joe pardons Hunter, country loses collective sh!t in outrage over abuse of power and a president "lying"...smh. Keep that same energy for what's on tap, people.  The next guy is gonna redefine "abuse of power." But is there a lesson to be learned not just from Joe Biden's actions, but also from the reactions of the media en masse?  I believe there is. Enjoy. -T

Originally published 12/06/2021. The kind of Christmas tree choosing advice you just can't find just anywhere.  Artifical vs natural in a battle for yuletide supremacy. And a lot of flocking around. Have a laugh, and enjoy with a special christmas release beer or a hot buttered rum. Happy Holidays, -T

What does it mean to win?  Or to lose?  How often do those things actually matter?  And is the most important thing how we respond to winning or losing?   Learning never goes out of style.  Be kind to each other and feel free to share with a friend...or enemy, I guess.   Love and thoughtfulness, -T

Well well well...that's bad, isn't it?  This episode covers the emotions we feel after the results of this election (if you're here I'm assuming you're not MAGA material), which are painful.  Discussing what happened in the election and why the results ended up being what they are.  And finally an up and down look at what to do next. Not for the faint of heart today (or in...

Outrage can be a funny thing depending on the situation.  In the closing moments of the 2024 election, the continued imbalance of expectation is simply astounding.  Making sense of name calling while making a final prediction on the outcome. Enjoy a completely unedited (except dropping in the intro/outro music...I can't do that live) episode that includes praise for the fairer sex. SAVE US WO...

Democracy is based on trust, but what happens when trust is eroded?  What happens when the truth is seen as "optional"? What will the world look like seven days from now?   Things sure aren't perfect.  There's lots of work to be done.  Try to remain positive and lead with joy as happy defenders of what democracy could be if we work hard enough for it.  

Scary times are supposed to be met with honesty and courage...so how do you explain the Trump campaign for president?   You can't. Former White House Chief of Staff called Trump a fascist in an interview, and we should listen to him.   Also...lying is bad, ya'll.

For this episode, the only edits were 2 coughs being removed and the bumper music being added.  That's it...that's the list.   Critical thinking is under assault.  Empathy is under assault.  Scary times call for a little love and light-hearted banter.  Also, sorry for all the F-bombs. Enjoy with a glass of cold white wine (Chardonnay) and/or whole wheat crackers and smoked gouda cheese. ...

Discussing the first promise of the Declaration of Independence, the gross feeling you get seeing true hypocrisy, the situation in Oklahoma public schools...oh, and the whole "Pro-Life" argument.  I might have to have a beer after this one... REGISTER TO VOTE AND VOTE BLUE!   Be Good Humans. -T

A little something different this week.  A discussion about the random challenges of life and embracing them.  Positivity abound...and...a little puppy-talk.  Please register and vote.  Vote Blue.  And above all, be good humans.   Love, Trent.

Finally an episode about the top three things on people's minds:  political violence, Taylor Swift and puppies. Seriously though, violence is bad, political violence is bad, terror is bad. Taylor Swift and puppies are good. Yeah...good stuff!

Post-debate, it's time to ask why we hold women to higher standards than men...and why we hold Trump to a standard so ridiculously low. I'm also in super-ASMR-mode on this pod...you have been warned. It's like hypnosis!
