Bretigne Shaffer writes children's horror, superhero graphic novels, and dark comedy about COVID — and she self-publishes all of it, because no traditional publisher (or Netflix) will touch a story that's critical of the pandemic response. We talk about her Halloween story Elixir of Fear — a 19th-century patent-medicine salesman who's also a wizard, a "budgie flu," and a whole town swept up in a fear campaign — why great art about COVID hasn't arrived yet, the people now pretending lockdowns "weren't a big deal," and why she moved her family from California to Kentucky. Plus: the lost world of literary journals, short stories as Hollywood IP, B-movie horror vs. gore, The Exorcist, her upcoming short story collection and her novel Davy Sunshine and the Big Pandemic, the Lady and the Unicorn tapestry — and the burning question of whether female unicorns have horns.

In this solo episode of Finding Freedom, the John breaks down what positive thinking really means—not vision boards and mirror affirmations, but the deliberate, disciplined practice of directing your mind toward what's possible rather than what you fear. Drawing on Carol Dweck's growth mindset research, Martin Seligman's work on learned optimism, and the neuroscience of the reticular activating system, he makes the case that positive thinking is a learnable skill backed by science, not a personality trait. He explains how the brain's built-in negativity bias—supercharged by modern media and social media—keeps most people tethered to anxiety and self-doubt, and why overriding that default requires consistent, intentional effort. Five practical steps are laid out: auditing your inputs, monitoring your self-talk (including the trick of naming your inner critic), practicing gratitude, using forward-focused language, and surrounding yourself with people who elevate your thinking. The episode closes with a reminder that two people can face the exact same circumstances and get radically different outcomes—because the difference begins not with what happens to them, but with what they tell themselves about it.

Matt Walsh floated a Social Security deal for boomers this week... you get back what you paid in, but no more. Brian Nichols breaks down why it started the biggest fight of the week, plus Microsoft's H-1B ban and the Talarico Texas Senate shock.So who's actually paying the bill? Brian digs into the Cato and YouGov Social Security poll everyone shared this week, what it really asked, and what Gallup says about how the generation footing the bill is doing compared to the one cashing the checks.Then it's who gets to be here. A federal case out of Minnesota has everyone asking who gets to be a citizen. And JD Vance just suspended Microsoft from the Labor Department's PERM green card program... with the H-1B fight landing right here in Indiana at IU.Plus, two out of three Americans say they want Medicare for All. So what happens to that number once you add a price tag? And with the Kansas Senate race tied, a Libertarian sitting at 3%, and new New York Times and Siena polls out of Texas, Ohio, Alaska and Iowa... are red states getting too comfortable?It all ends on one question.

David Zhang built a 1.4 million subscriber YouTube channel exposing the Chinese Communist Party — from his base in the US, where he can actually say what he thinks. Born in China, raised in Canada, now in New York, David breaks down how Beijing operates: surveillance, threats to family members back home, and a propaganda machine that's gotten scarily good at targeting Western audiences. We get into TikTok as a weapon, China's economy cratering under Xi Jinping, the comedian who got an entire stand-up competition banned for one joke about the PLA, and the doctrine of "unrestricted warfare" — Beijing's playbook for taking down the US without a single bullet. Plus: the four olds Mao tried to destroy, Chinese tourists at the Louvre, and the Asian gene that means David didn't need deodorant until he was 27.

The progressive left spent decades building institutional control over American academia, using it as a pipeline to reshape corporate culture, HR departments, and public policy. The fuel that kept that machine running was the nearly unlimited flow of government-subsidized student loans—now a $1.7 trillion portfolio—regardless of whether graduates could actually earn a living. The Trump administration's new Earnings Accountability Rule threatens that foundation by tying federal loan eligibility to post-graduation income, forcing programs whose graduates don't out-earn high school diploma holders to lose funding. This episode breaks down how cutting off the money could cascade beyond student debt into the entire progressive institutional infrastructure, from DEI offices to corporate hiring mandates. The takeaway: the most durable response to institutional capture is to build an income and a life that doesn't depend on gatekeepers whose power is built on your tax dollars.

Stephen Ferry joins Brian Nichols to reveal what the general welfare clause actually meant in 1787, and why America's 250th birthday finds us $40 trillion in debt and arguing over a Constitution most people can't explain.Kids can recite the Preamble. 52 words. One sentence. Six purposes sitting right there in the text...But ask a civics teacher to name all six? Good luck.Stephen is the new national spokesperson for Citizens Academy U.S., and their guide walks the Preamble word by word using Noah Webster's 1828 dictionary. So why does a 200-year-old dictionary get to be the referee?And Brian pushes back. Hard. Words change. Kleenex. Xerox. Google.

In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John Odermatt sits down with Dr. Sage Wolfe — a doctor of natural medicine, former professional gymnast, and certified Wolf Non-Surgical Master Trainer — to challenge the assumption that surgery and pharmaceuticals should be the first resort for chronic pain and joint issues. Dr. Sage explains how the body has an innate capacity to heal when given the right conditions, from rehydrating "bone on bone" cartilage to addressing the root causes of inflammation through gut health, proper mineralization, and parasympathetic nervous system activation. The conversation dives deep into the gut-brain connection, how emotional trauma gets stored in physical tissue, and why the standard medical approach of cutting out joints and organs often creates more problems than it solves. Dr. Sage also shares practical daily tips — from salting your water to the order in which you eat your food — plus resources for anyone ready to take their health into their own hands. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, limited mobility, or just want to age without limitations, this episode makes the case that your body isn't broken — it's trying to tell you something.

And Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar has everybody online asking who's real and who's faking it.Emma got caught in the middle of both... people called her "fake cancer girl" because she looked too healthy.So she did what a lot of scared patients do. She picked the clinic with the best marketing... pools, saunas, a $10,000 watch... and got on a plane.$275,000 later? She's got the red flags every patient and every family member needs to see before signing anything.
