T.REX TALK

Drones are hot right now, and David Han Jr. joins us to describe his business startup, which designs and builds robust drone platforms for the American citizenry. Our conversation covers not just UAV technology and uses, but also the manufacturing and design mindsets needed to develop for a more resilient Citizen Defense Industry. https://www.k9defense.tech/ https://x.com/K9DefenseTech

This is a video on the T-Rex lab channel, but due to the number of requests, we're also posting it here for easier listening. The actions of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives don't get as much attention as they should, but most people are generally aware of their recent history. However, to get a better understanding of how they developed as an enforcement agency, we have to...

Isaac sits down with our COO Bryan to talk about Christmas, and Bryan brings an interesting topic to the table. Merry Christmas from all of us at T.REX to you and your families! 

We've been talking a lot about American manufacturing tools and technologies over on the T.REX LABS channel, but there's a lot more to it than just the hardware. How do you get a new generation of folks involved in making stuff? How do you inspire them to pursue this as a discipline and a career. Today we've got an international guest giving us his perspective on our manufacturing strengths and we...

Creativity in film, television, and other fictional media seems to be at a pretty low ebb in the 21st century. Isaac and Ryan talk about their experiences in the film industry, and why some of the trends are not mere laziness but hostile ideologies at work. In some ways this is more dramatically visible and consequential in the video game space.

As the year is wrapping up, we have a lot to be grateful for. Whatever your circumstances, whenever your situation, you have things to be grateful for, even if that gratitude is hard work. Here's a short podcast episode about only a few of the things we are thankful for this year.

New Zealand has been in the news last week, as protests against equal rights produced many viral video clips. To discuss this, we called on Will Spencer, who has traveled the world, spending four years on the road and some of the world's most remote cultures and communities, in search of religious truth. Today, we talk talk not only about Maori culture, but other nations, religions, the death of t...

Our favorite tech-centered gun rights organization (and newsletter, thinktank, VC group, etc) has just started a podcast to interview folks who are at the crossover of weapons, technology, and business. Kareem joins us to talk about it, and how the group wants to get deeper into the future of self-defense.   https://opensourcedefense.com/

The 2024 election night upset was a red wave for the presidency, State governors, the Senate, and possibly the House. It wasn't an overwhelming landslide but it was a comprehensive failure of Democratic politicians and the mainstream media as a whole. Let's walk through some of the most interesting points and what they mean.

We are days away from one of the most heated presidential elections in American history. However, there's a lot more on the ballot than just the president. Jody Barrett, our local Tennessee Representative joins us in the studio to talk about why he got in politics (against his will), and why we need to send the right people to represent us, not just vote for who we are offered.

Today's guest is Jake from Gridbase, a company that builds digital library tools, creates educational content for radios, and tries to inspire people to have a greater understanding of their tools and grow in their capabilities.

As we've watched the disaster recovery and response to recent hurricanes, and the mad scramble to get the right stuff in the right places after the chaos arrived, most of us have had disaster preparedness on our minds. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and who better to talk about some of the planning requirements of preparation than intelligence expert S2 Underground. https://www.y...

Our friend Ray Simmons comes on the podcast to talk about his past work flying the U2 spy plane for military intelligence purposes, and his present work building church and community infrastructure in small-town Iowa.

Forrest Cooper of the [redacted] podcast joins us to talk about his observations of the gun community in general and veteran cultural specifically, and their recent trend toward Christian foundations. As he has journeyed from Ranger Battalion to contractor to gun industry writer to academia, he has seen all those different groups undergo significant shifts over the last couple of decades. We talk...

You've seen Brandon in a lot of T.REX content talking about everything from shooting to drones to radio plans, but let's get a little deeper into his backstory, how he got to where he is today, and where his journey is taking him.

Ham Radio Crash Course has some of the best YouTube content for both beginners who are getting into radio, and experienced Hams. Josh regularly experiments with and demonstrates new technology and explains old established radios and techniques. In this conversation we go over upcoming trends and the one thing that he would change about the FCC. https://www.youtube.com/@HamRadioCrashCourse

Now that we have begun reprinting and selling books on the main T.Rex Arms site, we've also developed a recommended reading list of 50 other books that you should be aware of. There's a number of completely different categories from history to business to technology to Second Amendment studies, but they all fit together...

Conflict comes from division, and division can be created along many lines. Geography, heritage, color, or possessions... Marxism, for example, always tries to divide between the haves and the have nots, the oppressors and the oppressed. But there is another metric that usually gets ignored until the gap is too wide to be bridged.

A common theme of the current Democratic party messaging is an urgent need to stop Donald Trump from regaining the White House and weaponizing the DOJ against his political enemies. However, it is obvious that the executive branch has already been weaponizing agencies against political enemies of the DNC. Today's guest on the show is Paul Vaughn, a long time T-Rex friend and ally, who has had...

There's a lot of conversation about the end of the world, the end of civilization, and the end times at the moment, and this conversation, even amongst non-Christians is shaped by Christian eschatology that has seeped into out culture. C.R. Wiley joins us to break down three historical views of a future apocalypse that have a big impact on how people think about current affairs, foreign policy, an...

The UK has cracked down on anti-immigration protests and "armchair thugs," which is newspeak for people who post memes on the internet. The Police Chief of the London Met has even threatened to extradite American memers who have violated UK hate speech laws so that they can face the crown's judgement.  Meanwhile, in the free-speech-loving USA, the legacy media has created a Kamala Ha...

If you look at recent American History, you can see some amazing technical successes, some incredible economic achievements, but also an unmistakable trend of cultural decline in some institutions. Have our academic bulwarks, entertainment studios, and political entities gotten this bad by accident? Or on purpose? Let's have a look at a single institution that is being infiltrated in real-time...

We talk about the crusades and the past and present trends of historical revisionism with our guests, the Kings Hall Podcast. https://www.kingshall.org/

Big government systems and systemic incompetence has been in the news a lot this week, but how does that work in the DoD?

This episode of T.Rex Talk was recorded on July 13th of 2024, just an hour before an attempted assassination of Donald Trump. And yet, it's almost exactly the the content that we would have released in response to the assassination attempt.
