Is There Really a Culture War?
Former South Carolina Governor and Republican Presidential Candidate Nikki Haley tweeted an invitation for Disney to "bring its 70,000+ jobs" to SC where the government is not so "sanctimonious" a Florida. Bill thinks she needs to figure out which side of the Culture War she is on, but that begs a bigger question: is there indeed a concerted full-court offensive against conservative values, or is this just the universal and timeless reaction of stodgy old codgers when confronted with inevitable change?

Progress
Do you remember a time when 'progress' meant... you know... ACTUAL progress? Bill's recent trip to the US Air Force museum in Dayton brought some shocking truths to light... and yet, that spark is not dead. What can we do to fan the flames of achievement? What can we build to match the magnificence of the B-70 Valkyrie? Join our elite squad of anti-elitists by becoming a Citizen Producer today: https://billwhittle.com/register/

Foxweiser
Just when the safe betting was that nothing could possibly upstage the Bud Light debacle, Fox News broke clear of the pack and also shot themselves through the foot with large-caliber pistol. Steve Green brings us some new information on the amount of damage both of these Woke / Broke adventures have done to their own brand, and how unlikely it is that either will recover.

Allen, TX
Every civilized person feels that sickening knot in their stomach when news breaks of another mass shooting. Scott Ott's church is a seven minute drive from the scene of the carnage in Allen, TX. It's not longer a question of 'why do these things happen?' Now we have to start to deal with what we can and cannot do about them and how to try to recover from them when they do.

Rebels Without a Clue
Zo wants to know how and when and WHY did teenage rebellion get co-opted... because there's no questions that Gen Z teens and twenty-somethings simply repeat the troped drilled into them by their liberal teachers, parents and government. You know... the one's they're supposed to be rebelling AGAINST? Join our elite squad of anti-elitists by becoming a Citizen Producer today: https://billwhittle.com/register/

CAPITALISM
In Part Three of the We The People 2.0 series, Bill simplifies the mechanics of Capitalism down to a simple, two-person economy, and explains the miracle that drives the success of Capitalism: two people can trade items and they BOTH go home wealthier.

The Stratosphere Lounge Episode 362
Recorded May 5th, 2023

Transablism
As segments of society spiral ever deeper into madness, a new movement is slowly gathering momentum. It's called 'Transablism,' and it consists of people who 'identify with' being disabled in some manner, including amputation of perfectly healthy limbs and blinding oneself with drain cleaner... under the supervision and encouragement f supposedly trained medical health professionals. Have we fallen to a point where we find chopping off healthy body parts acceptable? Join our elite squad of anti-elitists by becoming a Citizen Producer today: https://billwhittle.com/register/

The Stratosphere Lounge Episode 357
Recorded March 16th, 2023

Things They Want To Learn
Steve brings us a story that may put the lie to the idea that Gen Z has, broadly speaking, the attention span of a goldfish. Because one teacher is offering a class on personal finances to sold-out registrations and standing room only attendance. NO WOKE ALLOWED! Maybe the problem isn't their attention span at all. Maybe Gen Z is, like all of us, looking to learn about USEFUL things taught in an INTERESTING way?

Chicks on Mars
Scott Ott vexes me with this one: a study apparently shows that an all-female crew would cut significantly on consumables and have other weight (actually mass) savings as well. But what if they left something out of their equations? Join our elite squad of anti-elitists by becoming a Citizen Producer today: https://billwhittle.com/register/

And Man Created A.I. in His Own Image: Why Elon Musk is Worried About Artificial Intelligence
"Once machines become more intelligent than humans, there's no way to predict the future because it's not a human future anymore," says Bill Whittle, noting that no one is doing research to manufacture "artificial wisdom." As researchers work to create a successor to human beings, are moral questions mere 'speciesism' that needs to be purged from us?

USA for Africa
For at least a decade now, China has been quietly investing billions of dollars in Africa, specifically roads and other infrastructure. Likely they are not helping this troubled but mineral rich continent out of the kindness of their communist party hearts. Never fear, however: Joe Biden's nominee as ambassador to the African Union could not be less qualified. Help keep free speech free!

Epic Road Trip Reunites Friends from 1970s: Is Nostalgia a Friendly Force or Fuzzy Fraud?
Bill Whittle's "getting the band back together" for an epic, no-devices, road trip to the U.S. Air Force Museum. The entire purpose of packing four old friends in a car together, who haven't been together since the 1970s, comes down to one word: Nostalgia. Do we imagine a glorious past to denigrate the disappointing present — or to diss the new generation — or were things really better back in the day? Is your best day ever in the past, or has nostalgia clouded your mind with fuzzy fiction?

Now What?
The stunning departure of Tucker Carlson from Fox News has caused a firestorm of speculation as the reason why. But Scott Ott brings an interesting twist to the story: no matter where Tucker lands, what would YOU like to see in that primetime slot? Help keep free speech free!

Tempest in a Teapot
Crime levels are soaring. The roads would be a disgrace in Mogadishu. Drug overdoses are killing thousands. The tax base is fleeing the state in record numbers. But thank God, California has managed to address the one really critical issue plaguing the state; namely, can you own your own gas heater in Berkeley? Scott Ott goes where no man had gone before.

Move Disney World
In a bold move designed to further prove the Party of Science's Firm Grip on Reality, leading left-wing thinkers have come up with a clever suggestion to strike back at Ron DeSantis and the State of Florida. Their cunning but eminently practical plan? MOVE DISNEY WORLD. To PUERTO RICO. Some things are too tragic to make up.

Socialism
In the second installment of the 'From the Vault' series, Bill Whittle explains why socialism HAS TO select downward to run the race of life at the pace of the slowest runner on the field.

Pander Much?
In a bold effort to repair the damage caused by Bud Light's commercial featuring trans activist Dylan Mulvaney, parent company Anheuser-Busch hustled out a TV commercial to give you patriotic, knuckle-dragging rubes what IT thinks YOU want. The result is a commercial many considering to be more insulting than the one that started it. Hey, Anheuser-Busch: Pander Much?

Destroying Normal
Zo comes in with a story about how a popular video game called 'The Sims' now allows you to chose a character with post-transgender scars, among other assaults on not just common sense but assaults on the very idea of reality. This is an attempt to destroy NORMAL, and NORMAL is, essentially, trial-and-error rules for maximum human happiness. If you are going to invert society, the entire idea of 'normal' has to first be destroyed.

Image A.I.

We've Had Enough
What can we learn from The Great Bud Light Marketing Massacre? After partnering with transgender icon Dylan Mulvaney, Bud Light's parent company, Anheuser-Busch, lost SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS in market cap. The intensity of the backlash turned it into the worst marketing disaster since New Coke. Was the Rubicon crossed, or is this just another speed bump on the road to perdition?

Money
In the first of the FROM THE VAULT episodes, Bill Whittle explains what MONEY is in under three minutes... and that includes front and end credits. First aired in January of 2017. Help us BREAK THE ALGORITHM! Just like it, share it, comment on it, and hit the subscribe bell. It's that or a detergent commercial. Welcome to 2023.

Cwime Fighter
What if I told you that there was a pilot program that reduced inmate violence, increased cooperation and good behavior, and seemed to genuinely transform prisoners into more caring and responsible individuals -- and not in ten or twenty percent of the test subjects, but rather in the low to mid NINETY percent range? What if I told you it cost taxpayers nothing and incentivized the incarcerated to work harder to pay the minimal costs? And what if all that was true, and it was working right now? Scott has the seriously amazing details. Help keep speech free while you still can by becoming a Citizen Producer right here: billwhittle.com/register/

Hunter Biden: Man of Integrity
Steve brings us an inspiring story today: Hunter Biden, who has been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for his expert services to a Ukrainian gas company, his expert grasp on international relations by the Chinese Communist Party, and his expert paining skills, still somehow repeatedly managed to forget to pay his child support payments. We'd tell you the details, but those records have been SEALED; however you can rest easy knowing that the fact that his father and business associate is the acting President of the United States of America has absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

Cowards
After having broken every other form of precedent and civility, the Left has indicted and arraigned the one person they genuinely fear. But to the despair of the progressive base, there were no mugshots, no handcuffs and no 'perp-walk.' Bill is convinced that somebody realizes how powerful a symbol such a photo would be, and Steve and Scott pitch in to break down the raw COWARDICE displayed by indicting a former President and then being afraid to face the consequences. If there was ever a time to fight back before it is too late, then this is it. You can do your part by becoming a Citizen Producer by going to billwhittle.com/register/

Divorce is not the Solution
Cheating. Loss of Affection. Irreconcilable Differences. it seems ever more impossible to live in the same divided house these days. But Zo makes a great case for why that is not only impractical -- it's also morally wrong. This is our country! All of it!

Reap the Whirlwind
President Trump has been indicted on the flimsiest of charges by an avowedly partisan Grand Jury. What is the best response to this level of venality and pettiness? Help keep speech free while you still can by becoming a Citizen Producer right here: billwhittle.com/register/

Make It Stop
The Daily Wire has put two episodes of Bill's Apollo 11: What We Saw episodes back up on YouTube. Many of the comments are extremely flattering, but a large contingent of Moon Landing deniers made an appearance, and some of them sound like they might have come from... us. Has all of lying, destruction and lawlessness of the past 15 years made conservatives if not crazy then at least FERAL?

Nashville
The Left's response to these mass shootings is always the same. First, try to find a way to portray the killer as a conservative -- especially a Trump conservative. If the killer is a left-winger, then find a way to make it the fault of conservatives. Steve shows us that this is exactly what the media is in the process of accomplishing...again. Help keep speech free while you still can by becoming a Citizen Producer right here: billwhittle.com/register/

Trolls
Putting an opinion about something on the internet allows --encourages, even -- a kind of hate-filled, vitriolic response that one never sees in real life. Part of this is due the protection that anonymity provides, and part of it due to the lack of any kind of human connection between the person posting and the rabid, mind-numbingly hateful responses from individuals we politely refer to as "Trolls." Zo and Bill have both been through it and they have some honest admissions to make about what that experience really is like.

The Safety Cult
In 1966, seven-year-old Bill Whittle saw the USAF Thunderbirds at Kindley AFB in Bermuda. On March 18th, he saw them again at Pt. Mugu, California. He was sad to say he was underwhelmed. But by some miracle, the 1966 airshow popped up on YouTube, and comparing the two shows just how much fin and excitement has been bled out of life in the 57 years between the two events. Steve and Scott join in for a discussion of how much safety is too much safety? Help keep speech free while you still can by becoming a Citizen Producer right here: billwhittle.com/register/

The Death of Accountability
For years now -- but especially since the end of 2020 -- government officials are being legally called to Congress to testify in front of oversight panels... where they either lie with impunity, dissemble with impunity, or both. They stonewall yes-or-no questions, UNDER OATH, and get away with it because none of it gets punished. It makes Bill and Zo angry, and I'll bet it makes you angry too.

Pantry Shaming
Left-Wing scientists have made a major new discovery: a new racism particle has been found! Chances are excellent that you are being exposed to them many times a day. Usually mocking these people is Serious Business, but there are times when things get so ridiculous that the show simply goes off the rails. This is one of those times.

The more they fight him, the stronger he becomes.

The Russia That Might Have Been
Bill is back from three months in the Soviet Gulags and execution cells with a story of What Might Have Been -- not because of the recent invasion of Ukraine but rather in 1906 and 1917. On two separate occasions, Russia was SO CLOSE to avoiding their Communist future. Steve and Scott help break down this heartbreaking true story. Help keep speech free while you still can.

Lynching the Deplorables
Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer Prize-winning former foreign correspondent for The New York Times, finds the January 6 protestors deplorable, but says the treatment of those arrested or detained in the wake of the incident is un-American. What does it mean when a "die-hard Lefty" finds common cause with those on the right outraged about the Special Administrative Measures invoked against some of the accused?

44,000 Hours
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy released, in an exclusive to FoxNews pundit Tucker Carlson, thousands of hours of security camera footage from in and around the Capitol on January 6, 2021. It shows a much calmer scene than previously released clips, with protestors appearing to walk about taking pictures like tourists, undisturbed by police. The so-called QAnon Shaman, Jacob Chansley, appears to be escorted around the building and assisted into the Senate Chamber by officers, where he prayed, thanking God for their assistance. The Capitol Police chief has since said that Carlson's selective editing and claims about the video are "outrageous and false", and that outnumbered officers were attempting deescalation techniques to get protestors, including Chansley, to peacefully leave the building. Chansely, in a signed confession, has said police repeatedly asked him to leave. Do we now know what really happened during the "insurrection"? Will we ever? How can conservatives reasonably evaluate competing claims about the events, and the video, of January 6? Right Angle is a production of the Members at https://BillWhittle.com . Thanks to Zo Rachel for sitting in for Bill again this week.

The End of Feminism
Large numbers of women are sitting home alone crying because everything they were told is not working out for them.
