Making the Argument with Nick Freitas

Are Democrats really the problem in Washington? Much of the dysfunction actually stems from Republicans in safe red districts who know they’ll never be punished for how they vote. We expose some of the worst RINOs in Congress, and how could we get rid of them.

01:03:00 We Need To Clean House

We are witnessing the creation of the "obnoxious victim". When a parent rewards a tantrum just to "avoid a scene," they aren't fixing the problem, they are teaching a lesson in manipulation. The child learns that the goal isn't to get what he wants directly, but to provoke a reaction from the person holding him accountable....The child is the Left in Minneapolis.

What happens when a high-stakes federal operation happens in the middle of a crowded street? Nick analyzes the chaotic shooting of Alex Peretti.

This isn't about politics, it's about tactics, truth, and the reality of law enforcement in a war zone environment.
