I’m thrilled to share some insights from the latest episode of the Signal Hour. First off, apologies for my rugged appearance—I’ve just returned from a week in the wilderness, and Evie convinced me to keep the scruffy look. So, if you’re into getting your info from a guy who looks like he’s living on a street corner, I’m that guy.
We kicked off with some heavy political developments. I’m intrigued by Tulsi Gabbard’s move to revoke security clearances for several high-profile figures like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Hillary Clinton, among others, under a POTUS directive. This feels like step one in a larger accountability push. Then there’s Representative James Comer and the House Oversight Committee issuing subpoenas for depositions from a rogues’ gallery including the Clintons, Merrick Garland, and Robert Mueller. These are people I believe have done incredible damage to our institutions, possibly even committing treason or sedition. But will anything come of it? The HOC has investigative powers, subpoena authority, and can recommend contempt of Congress, but I’m skeptical. I predict responses like “I plead the fifth” or “I don’t recall” from folks like Hillary. Enforcement often lands in Democrat-stronghold courts, so I’m not holding my breath for real consequences.
Switching gears, we took a dip back into the Epstein saga. A leaked FBI document suggests Jeffrey Epstein was an informant before his 2007 sweetheart plea deal, which let him off with minimal punishment and no asset forfeiture. This reeks of a quid pro quo—he provided info, and they protected him. What info? We don’t know, and the FBI claims there are no files, which I find hard to believe. I’m pushing for full transparency; we need to declassify everything to rebuild trust. Meanwhile, connections to figures like Larry Summers keep surfacing, and new photos of Epstein’s mansion reveal disturbing details like cameras in his bedroom. Yet, no one’s meeting with victims—only the traffickers. It’s sickening.
We also touched on gerrymandering, a blatant power grab by both parties. Democrats started this mess in California, hijacking an independent commission to steal House seats. Now, states like Texas are retaliating, and figures like Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker are doubling down with hypocritical outrage while their own maps are absurdly rigged. It’s all kabuki theater—neither side cares about fair elections; they just want control. This uniparty system is failing us, delivering unaffordable living and questionable election results while ignoring real issues.
Lastly, the digital surveillance state looms large. The EU is rolling out digital IDs and CBDCs with chilling features like spending limits, programmable restrictions, and no anonymity. It’s control, pure and simple, modeled after China’s system. The UK’s already a police state, arresting people for causing “anxiety” online while ignoring real crime. I’m horrified by this erosion of freedom. Evie and I are resisting—no smart TVs, minimal phone use—but it’s tough. I believe this overreach will break the system; complex economies can’t be micromanaged without chaos.
