Ashton is joined by Pete Peterson. Pete is an expert on California politics and public policy and serves as the dean of Pepperdine's School of Public Policy. Ashton and Pete discuss solutions to California's biggest problems which have resulted in a net migration of 1 million people moving out of California in the last decade (and 367,000 residents left California in 2021 alone).Progressive politicians who run California declare that they are fighting for diverse, working class & middle class families. Yet as Peterson explains, most of the individuals who have left California over the last decade are working-class and middle-class families with minor children (and are disproportionately black and hispanic) while the relatively few people who have moved to California during the same time period are older, white Americans.In addition, California ranks #49 out of the 50 states in income inequality, #49 in housing affordability, and California is home to half of the nation's homeless despite compromising only 12% of America's population. California also has the highest energy costs in the nation, highest taxes in the nation and students in California rank near the bottom of the nation (#45 out of the 50 states) in math and science proficiency.How have progressives in California - who claim to represent the interests of the working class & the middle class - delivered the worst results in the nation for people in the stated socio-economic categories?What can be done to fix California's numerous problems including homelessness, housing, taxation, costs of living and education? Ashton and Pete have a riveting discussion on the possible solutions to these problems.Subscribe to Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ashton-cohen-the-electile-dysfunction-podcast/id1565208599Subscribe to Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6siXVSwM2OWz3itH90YRNA?si=v5MUMEpwTSG_sVGPOKHP8wSubscribe to Ashton's channel on Youtube: youtube.com/c/ashtoncohenFollow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theashtoncohenFollow on TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8nQjHta/Follow on Instagram: instagram.com/theashtoncohenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theAshtonCohen

Once again the US corporate news media has set its sights on annihilating the biggest threat to “democracy.” No, we're not talking about the Chinese Communist Party, or Soros-funded district attorneys who refuse to prosecute crimes, or activist judges who undermine the Constitution, or deep-state agencies who routinely violate the civil liberties of every American.This threat is far more dangerous than all those combined. It comes in the form of a 5'8 stand-up comedian/cage fighting commentator whose humility and attempt at objectivity stands in direct contrast to virtually every person with legacy media platform. This menace goes by the name of Joe Rogan.Ashton explains how this effort to destroy Rogan is about much more than just cancelling him.Subscribe to Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ashton-cohen-the-electile-dysfunction-podcast/id1565208599Subscribe to Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6siXVSwM2OWz3itH90YRNA?si=v5MUMEpwTSG_sVGPOKHP8wSubscribe to Ashton's channel on Youtube: youtube.com/c/ashtoncohenFollow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theashtoncohenFollow on TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8nQjHta/Follow on Instagram: instagram.com/theashtoncohenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theAshtonCohen

Ashton is joined by Dr Peter Pry, the Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security, Director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, Chief of Staff of the Congressional EMP Commission and former intelligence officer for the CIA.Ashton and Dr. Pry have an extraordinary discussion centering on the biggest threats to US national security. In particular, Ashton and Dr. Pry focus on  the completely overlooked threat of Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attacks, whereby an enemy nation, or even a single terrorist, can annihilate the US electrical grids and subsequently cause the deaths of tens of millions of Americans.  Ashton and Dr. Pry also discuss the poor state of America's nuclear arsenal and the threats posed by the much more advanced and sophisticated hypersonic missiles and third generation nuclear warheads from China and Russia (which render America's defenses useless).Dr. Pry has personally advised numerous members of  Congress and President Trump on America's vulnerabilities to the aforementioned threats. Yet, as Dr. Pry explains, our electrical grid remains largely defenseless despite the fact that President Trump, President Biden, and the majority of Congress have agreed to fortify it.You can learn more about Dr. Pry by visiting: https://emptaskforce.us/index.php/1-pry/.

In 1950, Venezuela was the Fourth Richest Country on Earth. It was richer on a per capita basis than every country in Europe except for Sweden. Today, Venezuela is poorer than many African Countries and failed states such as Zimbabwe, Congo, Syria or Haiti.Venezuela also has the largest oil reserves in the world. Yet despite this incredible advantage, it bears no resemblance to the extremely wealthy petro-states such as Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait or Norway.In addition, Venezuela is now among the most dangerous countries in the world and its capital city, Caracas, is the most dangerous city in the world.How did it go so wrong for Venezuela? What role did the Socialist policies of Hugo Chavez and his successor (Nicolas Maduro) play in Venezuela's societal and economic collapse.Ashton is joined by Venezuelan Freedom Activist & Economist Daniel Di Martino to discuss what happened to Venezuela and what lessons the United States needs to learn from it.You can find Daniel on twitter - @danieldimartino.Subscribe to Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ashton-cohen-the-electile-dysfunction-podcast/id1565208599Subscribe to Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6siXVSwM2OWz3itH90YRNA?si=v5MUMEpwTSG_sVGPOKHP8wSubscribe to Ashton's channel on Youtube: youtube.com/c/ashtoncohenFollow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theashtoncohenFollow on TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8nQjHta/Follow on Instagram: instagram.com/theashtoncohenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theAshtonCohen

Ashton is joined by Robert Breedlove, one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable personalities in the entire Bitcoin/crypto space, and host of the “What Is Money?” Podcast. Ashton and Robert had a fascinating conversation on a whole range of economic and social issues and explored how Bitcoin can solve many of the problems manifest in the world today.Ashton and Robert started the conversation detailing how many of the most deleterious economic trends are the result of the US leaving the gold standard, ushering in the fiat money era. They then discussed why every fiat currency eventually became worthless throughout history and why the US dollar will suffer the same fate.  Ashton and Robert next examined the unexpected second-order effects that became manifest once countries left the gold standard and adopted fiat money; such as the prolonging of wars (including the role fiat played in the devastation caused by WW1 and WW2), an increase in authoritarianism, and degradation of culture and society.Thereafter, Ashton and Robert analyzed the link between national adoption of a fiat currency and the rise of abhorrent and illiberal ideologies such as wokeism and post-modernism.Ashton and Robert next discussed the central role of property rights in western civilization and how bitcoin is the best form of property ever created.Ashton and Robert concluded their chat by evaluating Bitcoin price predictions and the most probable trajectory for Bitcoin over the coming months and years.You can learn more about Robert by visiting his website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/ or listening to his "What is Money?" podcast on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RobertBreedlove22 or on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400Subscribe to Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ashton-cohen-the-electile-dysfunction-podcast/id1565208599Subscribe to Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6siXVSwM2OWz3itH90YRNA?si=v5MUMEpwTSG_sVGPOKHP8wSubscribe to Ashton's channel on Youtube: youtube.com/c/ashtoncohenFollow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theashtoncohenFollow on TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8nQjHta/Follow on Instagram: instagram.com/theashtoncohenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theAshtonCohen

Is the US corporate news media really the enemy of the people as many now believe? Are the legacy media institutions tearing apart America's social fabric?It is getting difficult not to answer in the affirmative to both of those questions , especially after watching the media coverage of the Kyle Rittenhouse case and its lack of interest in covering the Waukesha murders.Rittenhouse was found not guilty of all the charges against him which is - objectively and legally - the correct verdict and a vindication of the thousands' year old doctrine of self-defense. But that is not the only reason why the Rittenhouse case was important. What makes the Rittenhouse episode so significant is that it exposed with unique clarity just how corrupt , deceitful, malicious, and racially inflammatory the us legacy media has become.Of course, just in the last couple years, we have witnessed the so called “mainstream media” traffic in some of the most egregious lies. Take for example the false narratives advanced by the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, and CNN on stories like the Covington Catholic high school kids, Jussie Smollett ,the Steele Dossier , the Russia-collusion hoax, the Russian bounty on us soldiers hoax, the gang rape allegations against Bret Kavanaugh the Hunter Biden story, Joe Biden's mental acuity, inflation, and the 1619 Project (to name just a few). Thus, we have been accustomed to the media lying with reckless abandon. The more recent phenomena, however, is the combining of the media lie machine with the mainstream promotion of some of the most toxic, CRT-inspired, racially obsessed rhetoric.This is why we see the corporate news organizations more and more disseminate articles declaring that math is racist, as CNN & The Atlantic asserted; Science is racist, according to BBC; Freeways are racist and hiking is racist according to the LA Times; Jogging is racist according to the NY Times; Salt is racist according to Buzzfeed; Breweries are racist according to The Boston Globe; Wine is racist according to The Guardian; Dieting is racist according to Huffington Post, etc.In addition, we can see the effects of the Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality pedagogy in the media's coverage (or lack thereof) in relation to the Waukesha, Wisconsin massacre.Ashton explains the state of the US corporate media and what we can do about it.Subscribe to Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ashton-cohen-the-electile-dysfunction-podcast/id1565208599Subscribe to Ashton Cohen: ELECTile Dysfunction Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6siXVSwM2OWz3itH90YRNA?si=v5MUMEpwTSG_sVGPOKHP8wSubscribe to Ashton's channel on Youtube: youtube.com/c/ashtoncohenFollow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theashtoncohenFollow on TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8nQjHta/Follow on Instagram: instagram.com/theashtoncohenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theAshtonCohen
