Razor Wire News hosts Fitz and McShane recap a chaotic week mixing major geopolitical narratives with bizarre tabloid stories and show banter. Fitz wishes his mother a happy birthday, while they preview topics including a Venezuela oil deal, renaming Lake Ontario as “Lake of America,” and intensified China-related narratives (election manipulation, audio hijacking, bot farms, and data-center issues). They discuss U.S.–Canada tariff disputes, claiming longstanding Canadian tariffs are higher than U.S. increases, and suggest Alberta may separate from Canada due to oil restrictions. They argue the Venezuela deal undercuts China and Russia, could help refill the SPR, and better matches Gulf Coast refinery needs, though they disagree on near-term gas-price impacts and note U.S. infrastructure limits. They cover claims the FBI eliminated a 1.8 million DNA-forensics backlog but question how and what it means for investigations. The hosts react positively to reports of tax crackdowns targeting George Soros nonprofits, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and CAIR, while noting Scott Bessent's past ties to Soros. Other topics include Portland Antifa labeled domestic terrorists, a Tibet–Nepal glacier flood disaster with large death and missing counts, and skepticism toward climate-change framing. Lighter segments include beer reviews (a disappointing pumpkin-spice scotch ale, Dragon's Milk Coconut Rum Barrel Reserve, and a Russian Imperial stout), a “fart corner” classroom story, a Los Angeles proposal for homeless sexual-relief clinics, masking hours at San Francisco's Exploratorium, Pennsylvania Gov. Shapiro's disputed measles-death claims, cosmic-radiation links to flight attendant breast cancer and weakened magnetosphere concerns, and a debate over human pheromones and “pheromone maxing.” Jefe joins for rapid-fire questions, roulette anecdotes, and a “farm report” on unusual foods eaten worldwide.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

Ftz and McShane open with beer talk—Hopworks' Fuzzy Navel peach sour, Abomination's Fall Harvester sour, plus stouts—before diving into the week's narratives. They highlight the UK Home Office's nine-page “Understanding behaviors and expectations” pamphlet for asylum seekers warning about women's rights, rape, and domestic abuse, then mock interviews where officials dodge whether it admits a migrant crime problem while the UK PM touts removals. They discuss the Jason Arday plagiarism scandal and a Kaizen analogy arguing universities protected Arday because of race and ignored scrutiny until it ended tragically. The hosts question climate-paper funding incentives, then slam California's first-in-nation rule phasing out most replacement tires by rolling-resistance standards, arguing it raises costs and reduces safety. They bring in Jefe for casino stories and later a “farm report” on the bombardier beetle's chemical “micro-explosions,” plus quick hits on China's World Robotics Games. They expose Democratic-city donor-matching programs—spotlighting Karen Bass' LA pitch and ActBlue tie-ins—calling it taxpayer-funded campaign amplification. They also cover Trump's temporary ground-beef import tariff relief, a Dearborn council rant about Sharia law, and CNN's critique of RFK Jr.'s “Real Food” cooking segments, arguing the network misrepresents per-serving costs and ignores pantry economics.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

On Saturday's “Razor Wire,” Fitz and McShane return from a week off with travel stories from Indiana—training educators (including a Mennonite preschool), discovering the Mennonite/Amish split, raving about The Chubby Trout's diverse crowd, and accidentally walking into a Micro Wrestling Federation night while trying to discuss psychological profiles. The show then pivots to Anthony Fauci pleading the Fifth 111 times despite having a Biden pardon, including refusing even basic questions, and the hosts argue it reopens COVID wounds, mirrors his AIDS-era playbook, and may be a political distraction. Fitz declares for the WNBA draft. They tear into the WNBA's controversy over protecting women's sports after Sophie Cunningham's comments, criticize coaching rhetoric about inclusion, and highlight responses from Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring for the WNBA to expose perceived policy contradictions; Bob Costas is cited arguing “common sense is not transphobic.” Beer talk runs throughout, featuring Epic Brewing's Big Bad Baptist stouts (Gingerbread and Orange Twist) and Zul Beer Company's Betty's Blueberry Peach Cobbler sour. Jefe drops in live from casino work with pit-floor drama, then delivers a “farm report” on Australia's newly found “ballista spider,” which builds a spring-loaded silk trap that launches ants into its web. The episode closes with reactions to scientists proposing halving the global population by 2200, AI-designed viruses that kill E. coli, a far-future scheme to move Earth away from the sun, and a “Ball Scratch Simulator” game preview.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

McShane and Fitz open Razor Wire (July 18, 6:32 PM) with a smug “I told you so,” arguing years of warnings about China influencing America are now backed by newly released/declassified intel, whistleblower claims, and reporting that China's 2020 influence operations were suppressed while Russia's were amplified. They blast “the big three” networks for refusing to air Trump's speech, call mainstream outlets propaganda, and replay clips of Democrats (Harris, Schiff, Clinton, Klobuchar, etc.) previously warning voting machines are hackable—then note Trump made similar claims with NSA/FBI documentation. They mock fear-driven headlines like “explosive diarrhea,” debate the SAVE Act and Slotkin calling it “rigging,” reject suspending elections, and demand arrests. Between beer reviews, they riff on Lindsey Graham's death theories, Iran/Strait of Hormuz strategy, crypto legislation, Pentagon testosterone screening, a deadly “sandbox/dynamite tree,” and a wild “Russian spy” honeypot clip.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

McShane, Fitz, and Jefe return after taking a week off for America's 250th. They recap a calm holiday weekend and pivot to major topics: NYC Mayor Mamdani's immigrant-enclave map omits Little Italy, Irish/Scottish areas, and Jewish enclaves, which they argue signals erasing history and fuels backlash. They discuss rumors that Mitch McConnell “died,” skepticism toward claims he's fine, and note Elaine Chao's China meetings as suspicious. They call out heavy CERN discourse as a narrative, rejecting recent “Mandela effect” claims while acknowledging anxiety about time and distraction. They review beers (Stoup Mothership IPA, Roses by the Stairs smoked porter critique, Mortalis coffee stout praised, Fremont Orange and Cacao barrel-aged stout praised) and warn robots and AI-body control tech are becoming dangerously real.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

Razor Wire opens this week with McShane and Fitz arguing New York's Democrat Socialist of America wave and NYC primary upsets confirm a hard-left “communism” shift, with low turnout letting DSA candidates dominate and mainstream Democrats fractured (Carville teased). They mock AOC's claims about GOP “fear,” play clips of socialist candidates pushing nationalized airlines and 9/11/colonialism framing, and use Trump's “free stuff sells” communism riff to warn of collapse and violence, citing Scott Wiener getting heckled and armed leftist groups. Europe's heat panic, “melting stoplights,” Germany allegedly removing AC units, and anti-AC climate pledges lead into climate-control satire and peat/Scotch whisky backlash. News turns to major earthquakes (Venezuela doublet ~7.2/7.6; Japan) with discussion of pre-quake lights, coronal hole streams, planetary alignment, and ignored warning signals. Interspersed: Beer Drop subscription, Monkless “Curtain Closer” quintuple (11.6%) praise, disappointing sour and stout, plus a “farm report” on Australia's gimpy-gimpy pain plant.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

McShane and Fitz open a rough week  Trump's massive “UFC Freedom 250” flex on the National Mall, World Cup flopping/acting, and Knicks/Spurs drama with NYC-style rioting. They hit the Karmelo Anthony guilty verdict and torch the rage-bait grift, clickbait, and Jasmine Crockett's tone-deaf spin. Abroad, a Sudanese migrant's attempted beheading of a special-needs man ignites Belfast riots while media blames “far-right agitators.” As a much-needed timeline cleanse, Freddy from Germany cruises across America for the World Cup, losing his mind over Buc-ee's, Bass Pro, Waffle House, gators, and the simple joy of state-to-state freedom. They also cover SpaceX's IPO (Elon as “trillionaire”), AI satellites, a suspicious Medline warehouse fire, Jefe's brutal Armored Bush Cricket farm report, and Tulsi Gabbard claiming 120 US-funded biolabs in 30 countries.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

On Razor Wire News (June 6), Fitz and McShane kick off Men's Mental Health Month by telling guys they matter, urging listeners to find their “herd,” and sharing what keeps them sane—martial arts, music, group chats, and unplugging from toxicity. They toast the quiet ones, then pivot into beer nerdery: a Japanese-style rice lager, a light American lager, a 20.9% Bruery “Gray Monday” stout, and a rare Belgian saison with a surprise cork that requires a drywall screw and pliers. The crew rants about media and political insanity (Krugman's “purging” talk, Carville backing a controversial candidate, 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley getting fired), mocks “gestating parent” language, calls California vote-counting a circus, and debates global alliances (Israel NDAA ties, spying headlines, even a rumored US–Russia tunnel).

They dig into claims of foreign influence and funding—especially Roy Singham's ties to activist groups and Hasan Piker's comments about China and Cuba—then pivot to a UN Watch report alleging UN experts took millions from China, Russia, and Qatar while pushing anti-West narratives. The hosts discuss Treasury/IRS efforts to tighten nonprofit oversight and investigate funding for Antifa. After beer reviews and Jefe's casino antics, they cover Canada's MAID controversy, Peter Thiel reportedly going to Argentina, aliens.gov trolling users with an “illegal aliens” theme, and a whistleblower claim about CIA use of consumer DNA data—ending with worries about escalating paid agitation and protests.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

Plus spam that's “sorta meat,” midgets getting hot, armed robot bans, throat cancer from oral sex, and Ted Cruz dropping truth bombs on Democrat racism.

We explore Pope Leo's false quoting of the bible discounting the number of  times that god gets very angry. We also talk about Donald Trump posting the picture of him as Jesus healing someone. Variety decided to post click bait that was in horrible taste. We look at America's war machine possibly being fueled by the auto industry. A new "Ask Jefe" is dropped when a listener has no idea what to do with a boobalicious problem. We also discuss Lemurs and their fighting with stink glands.  Nothing was safe tonight.Lots more was had.  Do enjoy us…Go to Razorwirenews.com for to support the show!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

As Trump's Iran blockade sends 10,000 more U.S. troops into harm's way and ties up 41% of our Navy, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff breaks down why this risky move could become a “sucking chest wound” for our military and the global economy—and how Iran is effectively holding the world's gas station hostage. From Signalgate and impeachment talk swirling around Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, to Trump's increasingly extreme religious rhetoric and open conflict with the pope, Paul explains why this moment is so dangerous for our troops, our allies, and America's standing in the world. Then Paul goes deep on the future of war, unpacking President Zelensky's stunning announcement that Ukrainian forces used robots—not humans—to take an enemy position, what that means for drones, AI warfare, and American national security, and why Ukraine has become the world's live‑fire R&D lab. He also spotlights the surge of independent and nontraditional candidates—from Dan Osborn in Nebraska to Seth Bodnar in Montana—and why independents can win races Democrats can't, if party leaders stay out of the way and let them be true champions for people sick of both parties, dark money, and a rigged system. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Connell McShane, anchor of ‘NewsNation Live with Connell McShane,’ joins John Williams to talk about the latest on a US fighter jet reportedly being shot down in Iran, his thoughts on President Trump’s speech on the length of the war in Iran, and Pete Hegseth firing Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George.

Paul Rieckhoff is stuck in Florida — airports shut down, snowstorm paralyzing the Northeast — but he's not going quiet. In this special episode, Paul breaks down Trump's State of the Union address in real time, delivering the sharpest analysis you won't hear anywhere else. The speech clocked in as the longest State of the Union ever delivered. Trump spent exactly three minutes on Iran — roughly 90 minutes in. Paul calls it what it is: a missed opportunity, a half-made case, and a failure of presidential responsibility. The core issue isn't whether military action against Iran is on the table — it clearly is. The pieces are in place. The forces are arrayed. Paul knows what that looks like firsthand; he was in Iraq when the U.S. went to war in 2003. What's missing from Trump's address is the one thing every commander-in-chief owes the American people before pulling the trigger: an honest accounting of the cost. No mention of consulting Congress. No coalition of allies. No preparation for what a long conflict — with real American casualties — could mean. Trump's approval rating among independents sits at 26%, down ten points from last year. That number tells the story. Then there's Ukraine. The United States just abstained from a United Nations vote affirming support for Ukraine — standing alongside Saudi Arabia. On the four-year anniversary of Russia's invasion. Paul, who founded American Veterans for Ukraine, doesn't mince words: it's a black mark on America's record, a moment that demanded moral clarity, and a president who chose silence instead. Finally, New York City. Paul weighs in on the viral NYPD snowball incident — where officers were pelted with ice by a mob — and the new mayor's stunning failure to stand with his police department. Paul breaks down why this moment matters far beyond one incident, and what it signals about a mayor who came into office with the lowest trust from the NYPD in recent memory. This is Independent Americans: straight talk, no party loyalty, and the five I's to keep you connected.
