Making the Argument with Nick Freitas

It all comes down to this: swing states. We will do a state-by-state analysis of the seven swing states that will decide the election. PLUS, we will make our final predictions on who will win the popular vote and whether or not it will get ugly. --- Sponsored by: Tuttle Twins TV Want to give your kids a foundation of freedom, an understanding of the economy and a healthy skepticism of government?

Well, we predicted it, everyone. Back in July, I described what the Kamala Harris strategy would be. I wrote that they will try to get people excited about Kamala for about 5 min, and when that does work, they will go back to calling Trump a fascist. And guess what? Here we are. Everyone from Kamala Harris to Keith Olbermann to even Larry Sabato at UVA Center for Politics has been comparing Trump to Hitler and calling him a fascist…so we decided to ask a question…when we look at fascism as an ideology, does one candidate align with their actual objectives? So that is what we will do today. We will put away the political rhetoric and actually look at fascist policies straight from the fascists themselves and ask the question…does either candidate for president actually align with “fascist policies?” --- Sponsored by: Good Ranchers Good Ranchers offers 100% American meat, supporting local ranchers and ensuring quality with no antibiotics.

Whenever I have been asked what best prepared me for serving in elected office, I usually quip that before I got into politics, I served in a unit that specialized in unconventional warfare and counter-insurgency, and I'm amazed at how well that prepared me for domestic politics. It's, of course, half tongue in cheek, but there is no question that my time as a Green Beret taught me a lot about leadership. Mike Waltz is the first Green Beret elected to Congress, and he has served with distinction both in the military and as an elected official. He wrote a book, "Hard Truths: Think and Lead Like a Green Beret," where he explained what is unique and compelling about the Special Forces style of leadership.

Nick has been attending the Homesteaders of America Conference for three years. It has been going on for eight years and is always very well attended by thousands of people from all over the country and even from other countries. Amy Fewell and her team do a great job. This year, Amy called Nick and told him that the insurance company had denied their policy and mentioned Nick by name as the reason. He told Amy that the event was too important and that, if needed, she should take him off the list of speakers. Amy flat-out refused.

Imagine the government taking your kids away, then allowing your spouse, who was determined to transition your son since they were three, gets full custody, and now imagine the court allows them to move halfway across the country without your permission and almost certainly so they can start giving your 12-year-old son puberty blockers. Now imagine that the state that allowed them to do this….is Texas. --- Sponsored by: Tuttle Twins TV Want to give your kids a foundation of freedom, an understanding of the economy and a healthy skepticism of government?

There have been a lot of efforts to assist veterans, but I remember listening to a comedian of all people who was asked if he supported the troops. He responded, "I think our government has learned that it's much cheaper to worship the troops than it is to care for them." Our veterans are honorable members of our society who serve the Republic. They should not be treated as victims, and they shouldn't be used as political pawns. Today's guest on MTA is someone who can speak to this with a level of authority on this issue. He served his country bravely, paid a heavy price for it, and has continued to serve, and I'm proud to call him a friend. --- Sponsored by: Good Ranchers Feast like an American legend with Good Ranchers!

Union strikes at ports, Missile strikes in the Middle East, and an interesting VP debate. With so much instability happening at once, the question is, could this election be one of the most important in our lifetimes? That gets said every election cycle, but could it be true this time? Also, does the Longshoreman's Union have a good case of shutting down ports right as a massive hurricane has caused huge damage in places like NC, and are we about to see war in the Middle East…again? We will review all these topics and answer your questions on this episode. --- Sponsored by: Tuttle Twins TV Want to give your kids a foundation of freedom, an understanding of the economy and a healthy skepticism of government?

Who is actually running the country? This is a question that Graham Stephen asked me on Iced Coffee Hour not long ago. It is a great question, and the answer is complicated, but people need to understand it. Because while it isn't the conspiracy theory fever dream that some seem to think it is, it's certainly not the schoolhouse rock version people believe. Today, we are going to answer the question of who wields absolute power in America and hopefully answer the even more critical question, which is, what can you do about it? --- Sponsored by: Good Ranchers Subscribe to any Good Ranchers box and for the next 4 years, enjoy a free add-on of your choice!

What is the "Friend/Enemy Distinction"? On its face, it sounds simple enough; maybe it's just an understanding of how we differentiate between people we like and people we don't. Everyone does that to some degree, but what happens when things divide very simply into one of two categories, friend and enemy, win or lose, live or die, in that moment when the threat is no longer whether or not you pay a little bit more in taxes, but whether or not you go to jail. --- Sponsored by: Good Ranchers Subscribe today and get a free add-on like Boneless Chicken, Angus Ground Beef, Applewood Smoked Bacon, or Wild-Caught Salmon in every box for 4 years—or until the next election.

Parents today understandably feel overwhelmed and utterly out-maneuvered by social media, the movie and music industry, and even their school system. How exactly is a parent supposed to compete?

There is no shortage of arguments for and against guns and the 2nd Amendment, but a “biblical defense?” Is that even possible? Guns weren’t even invented.

I taught three classes on Christianity, objective truth, and argumentation to a group of students. Their most common questions were all about relationships. I did not expect this. I expected questions about the problem of evil, how do you know when something is actually true, or maybe probing questions about defending Christian ethics, but instead, it was mainly about how to navigate what has become the minefield that is relationships… -- Sponsored by: True Classic Feeling a little tight in all the wrong places?
