What's Up with Our Healthcare System w/ Mark Young

On Today’s Episode –

Mark and Matt start us out talking about tariffs. Donald Trump is a master deal maker, and he knows that he must find a way to let China de-escalate and save face. Mark explains for us all what the tariffs are and what the deal is moving forward.

We bring in our guest Jay Furman. Jay goes into great detail about where he has been and what he’s done. More importantly he tells us WHY he has decided to run for congress.

Commander Jay Furman has a deep sense of duty and commitment to Texas and our nation.

Retiring after 28 years of military service helping our nation’s allies, he has returned to Texas shocked by our fake borders, lost freedoms, and sky-rocketing prices. After watching similar trends in other nations, he has decided to take a stand at home against bad policies causing problems that are clear and present dangers to South Texan’s safety, freedom, and survival – for generations to come. Furman’s campaign is not politics as normal, because nothing is normal right now. It is a clear-eyed call to action for Texans to defend their Republic. For as Texas goes, so goes the nation.

Commander Furman is an America First conservative, Christian, devoted husband, and father. His policy priorities align with the Constitution and limited federal government. Most governing should be pushed down to state and local communities, where people know their problems best and competitive markets thrive without federal regulations that enrich special interests and fatten bureaucrats far from home. Most of our problems are caused by lying politicians in Washington, who use your money create solutions that only make the problems worse and make them seem more relevant

Epidemic Narcissism - w/ Colonel Rob Maness

Today’s show rundown: 

Chuck says the root cause of all our problems is COVID, more specifically how we handled COVID as a country. So we have been mislead by the CDC. The teachers union, airplane pilots, you couldn't keep your job if you didn't get the jab. Fauci and the Biden Administration did so much damage that we may never be able to recover from it. We took all the people who didn't want to stick the "VAXX" into themselves and we threw them out of their jobs. 

We are introduced to our guest Rory McShane (see bio below). He talks this new generation of strategists working with the Republican Party. There is a whole thing going through the CNN's CNBC saying they have no chance to send the senate back because they have all these anti trumpets coming in and that we can't take back the house. All Chuck hears is that there will not be a Red Wave, he wants to know what is going on, it is just Mid-Term Garbage? 

Interesting that the Democratic Party and Biden have reversed every single thing Trump did that worked. Chuck says all you need to do to win the next election is run on the things Trump did, juts like it's 2016 again, the border, crime, etc. The Left's only hope is to keep this Jan 6th clown show going on till November. Mark said that they have introduced the new language that they are "trying to save our democracy".
