July 28, 2019 - Special guest and Baltimore mayoral candidate #ShannonWright joins us for this discussion. The media is abluster with claims of racism for calling out the problems of #Baltimore, and the failures of Rep. #ElijahCummings. But is stating a fact racism? Does that help Baltimore? And what does Baltimore MD need?

July 7, 2019 - TECN TV New York - There is still more to be said about Colin Kaepernick's attack on Quaker Betsy Ross and her flag. Like what Frederick Douglass and Jesse owens thought of America. So we compare the privileged Kaepernic to Owens. But the big feature is immigration. We track the way politicians from coast to coast are using illegal aliens to polarize elections, protect partisanship, and use taxpayer funding for it all. It's aggravating if you step back and see the big picture.

And we update the latest on the Brussels terror plot.

June 11, 2019 - TECN TV New York - It's a crazy political world, but not all of it gets the same coverage. Like Councilman Dan Livingston violating Homeland Security regulation in an upgrade of prior ethics violations. Or the CDC admitting that its gun violence data is wrong to the upside. And then there are the NY elected Democrats, who seem to think that the will of the people is optional when it comes to illegal alien drivers licenses. Thus we take a break to rank the kaiju, like Godzilla, as if they were running in the 2020 election.

JUne 8, 2019 - In the wake of the Virginia Beach workplace shooting, some anti-2nd Amendment groups and Progressive Dems are arguing that a ban of silencers is needed. But has anyone ever considered the actual data on this? Will this really help anyone, or just steal freedom?
June 8, 2019 - TECN TV New York - In the first part of our 2 hour Saturday broadcast, we spent time discussing the consequences that will be facing New York and other States. When Gov. McAuliffe reinstated the right to felons, no one thought that the result would be a pedophile advocating incest would run for Congress. But it happened, and New York should be on guard.
Plus we talk unemployment and the potential impact on the economy. But the big news is that with the support of our audience, our on-going battle for ALL the content you love has made a difference. But the battle is hardly over.
June 7, 2019 - Public Service Announcement - #Censorship is not just something affecting an obscure radicals. #Shadowbanning doesn't just silence voices we don't like. This affects ALL the content you consume. Podcasts, Gaming, Music, Politics and more are crushed by this anti-free speech action. Fight back by liking, sharing, subscribing, and commenting, on all the media and platforms you enjoy. Or tomorrow you may not have that choice anymore.
