The Rotunda #444 1/29/25 - This episode of The Rotunda focuses on Trump's first few days back in office, and the reports of ICE deporting people. Is this a net positive or a net negative? Are they really and truly only focusing of those who have committed heinous crimes, or are they just rounding people up? How does that square with our nation being built by immigrants? 

And speaking of the 1980's, I get into Putin making the same mistakes that the Soviet Union made - refresh my memory on how that turned out? 

Who's got their tin foil hat on about the NFL being rigged? I try to debunk that hogwash in the second segment.

The Rotunda #405 02/21/24 - This episode has a little of everything, as I discuss the latest developments in Europe and one candidate's message about their support - or lack thereof - for the alliance. Also, don't you find it odd that one candidate gets peppered with concerns over his age, and another candidate seems to get a pass. Why is that? All this gets explored in the first segment. 

Next up is our very own pro soccer team - Rhode Island Football Club! I'm going to list out the reasons some of us have concerns about the stadium - but also why it is imperative that we support our new team.

Earlier in the show, I dive into the absolute mess that the Jack Teixeira case has turned into, and just how many people could have blown the whistle on this little traitor before he embarrassed both himself and the country. Will heads roll over this? 

Also, why exactly do we care about financial disclosures form our Presidents? President Biden and Dr. Biden recently filed theirs, but why is it our business? 

And for those of you getting that sick to the stomach feeling about the 2024 presidential elections, we have the No Labels movement. what is it, would it have any shot, or would it simply skew the election one way or the other? Well, we're getting into that right here.
