At least eight different categories of people receive some or all of their healthcare free, at taxpayers expense. Politicians call our system broken, while they ask for even more free programs. Others protest that free healthcare is too expensive.
Critics of the US cite the systems in other countries as evidence that we should change. But many other countries, like France have – not a single-payer system – but a combination of government and private insurance. The system in France is more comprehensive, but that is not the reason they are more successful.
The big difference between France and the US is not the healthcare system; it’s the tax system. It’s not who draws out. It’s who pays in.

Send us a text The script discusses misrepresented mass shootings in America, emphasizing that media often exaggerates these events to induce fear. It provides an example of a reported mass shooting in Houston where six men were injured but not killed, arguing that it was likely a targeted attack rather than a random act of violence. The narrator criticizes how incidents involving four or more victims are automatically categorized as mass shootings and questions the integrity of such statistics. The script advocates for focusing on real crime prevention rather than inflating numbers to support gun control agendas. Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.…
Send us a text In this episode of the 10th Man podcast, the host critiques a popular narrative that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than US-born citizens. The podcast discusses a debate involving Dean Withers, who claims that immigrants are less likely to commit violent crimes, a statement that is fact-checked and found to be inaccurate. The episode also critiques studies by Michael Light and others that use Texas data to suggest that immigrants commit fewer crimes. The host argues that using data from a single state like Texas is flawed and discusses potential biases and inconsistencies in these studies. The episode concludes by questioning the motivations of the Democrats and media, accusing them of using flawed data to support their political agenda and downplaying the crimes committed by undocumented immigrants.

Send us a text Introduction In the age where catchy phrases and misleading statistics often dominate public discourse, it's crucial to dissect and understand the narratives being fed to us. This blog post tackles the contentious issue of crime rates among immigrants, the spread of misinformation, and the way media portrayal impacts public perception. A Joke Turned Political Principle Reflecting on humor’s paradoxical role in politics, we begin with a quip about credit cards from comedian Henny Youngman. This joke has been twisted into a guiding principle by some political factions, illustrating how humor can be manipulated for ideological ends. Kamala Harris recently made a claim about undocumented immigrants and their propensity for crime, a statement that—though presented humorously—has profound political implications. Dissecting the Myths Contrary to popular belief, the notion that undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans is widespread but debatable. Articles from various think tanks and academic institutions seem to support this claim. Yet a closer look reveals that these studies often fail to differentiate between legal immigrants and undocumented individuals, leading to skewed interpretations. Consider one highly touted Stanford study analyzing incarceration rates from 1870 to 2020. This data is irrelevant in assessing the impact of contemporary immigration policies. Moreover, methodological flaws, like equating incarceration to crime rates, further dilute the reliability of these findings. Rhetoric vs. Reality Turning the lens to more recent deflection tactics used by some political entities, there's a comparison to the strict law enforcement in countries like Japan and El Salvador. These nations demonstrate how stringent measures can significantly reduce crime rates, areas in which the U.S. struggles. Notably, El Salvador's current administration has led a crackdown on gangs, reducing crime but drawing criticism from media outlets that fear these policies align with Trump's hardline approaches. Media Mirages and Mass Shootings The discourse on gun violence provides another layer to the discussion. For instance, an incident in Savannah, Georgia, categorized as a mass shooting by certain databases, showcased media exaggeration. Although five individuals were shot, the only fatality resulted from a related car crash. This misclassification exemplifies how statistics can be manipulated to incite fear and serve political agendas, distracting from nuanced discussions about crime. Conclusion Understanding crime and immigration requires us to sift through layers of data and recognize the biases inherent in their presentation. As we navigate these complex issues, it is essential to question the narratives constructed by media outlets and political figures alike. Only then can we foster informed conversations that lead to real, effective solutions. By examining these topics with a critical eye, we can challenge misinformation and advocate for truthful discourse that impacts policy in meaningful ways.

Send us a text In this episode, the speaker argues against the commonly cited statistic that native-born U.S. citizens are more likely to commit violent crimes than illegal aliens. They contend that this comparison lacks depth and overlooks many instances where crimes by illegal aliens are reported. They criticize both the media and politicians for pushing the narrative, which they see as misinformation and gaslighting. Various examples are cited, including crimes committed by Venezuelan and Chilean gangs and individual cases like Patrick Lyoya and Brittney Griner. The speaker plans to explore the actual data and articles in the next episode to expose what they believe are the media's false claims about immigrant crime rates. 00:00 Introduction: Crime Statistics and Comparisons 02:47 Media Narratives and Public Perception 05:23 Immigrant Crime: Data and Misinformation 07:39 Case Studies and Double Standards 11:46 The Myth of Immigrant Crime 14:18 Conclusion and Next Episode Preview Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.…
Send us a text The podcast discusses Congressman Al Green being censured for waving his cane at President Trump in the Capitol. It argues that if Green were a Republican, he would face harsher repercussions, referencing previous incidents such as the January 6th charges for brandishing flagpoles and the 1856 assault on Senator Charles Sumner with a cane. The script highlights the inconsistency in the justice system, suggesting that actions by the left are often excused while similar actions by the right are heavily penalized, using both historical and recent events to illustrate this perceived bias. Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.…
Send us a text Doug Ford's Controversial Energy Threat: A War Crime in the Making? In this episode, the speaker criticizes Ontario Premier Doug Ford for his recent threats to cut off electricity to American homes as a retaliatory measure in the trade war. The speaker argues that Ford's actions could be considered a war crime under international law, drawing comparisons to Israel's free provision of electricity to Gaza. The episode highlights Ford's grandstanding and questions his leadership, suggesting that his tactics are more about political posturing than genuine economic strategy. The speaker also contrasts Canadian and American energy dependencies, emphasizing the potential repercussions of Ford's threats. 00:00 Introduction: Doug Ford, the War Criminal? 00:30 Ford's Threats and Tariffs 00:59 Economic Retaliation and Hypocrisy 01:41 Electricity as a Weapon 02:51 Energy Dependency and Line 5 03:20 Fentanyl and International Law 05:18 Conclusion: The Illusion of Power Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.…
Send us a text This script discusses the transformation of the Democratic Party's political machine from old-style, city-based power structures to a modern, media-driven network. It highlights key mechanisms of the current machine, including media grooming, activist support, big donor networks, and party control. The narrative critiques the trend of promoting inexperienced junior senators who lack real-world governance experience, citing examples like Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Pete Buttigieg. The script also introduces Elissa Slotkin as the next potential product of this system. It argues that such candidates, while polished and media-friendly, often act as figureheads with real power wielded by unelected elites and the party's entrenched operatives. Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.…
Send us a text This episode of 'The Tenth Man' dives into the Flint Water Crisis, focusing on public reactions, media coverage, political consequences, and long-term effects. It highlights how the crisis was caused by improper water treatment rather than the Flint River itself. The discussion includes the role of political motivations, especially criticising Democratic leadership's incompetence and ego. The episode argues that media and political narratives unfairly blamed Republicans while protecting Democrats. It compares Flint's issues with other cities and criticizes the ongoing wasteful spending. The episode concludes with a preview of the next topic: the myth of immigrant crime. Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.…
Send us a text On the third anniversary of Ukraine's invasion, this episode of 'The Tenth Man' explores parallels between Ukraine and the Vietnam War, highlighting global political hypocrisy. It discusses historical conflicts such as the Korean War, the roles of the UN, and regional responses. The script examines the cultural commonalities between Ukraine and Russia, and emphasizes geographical and historical factors influencing these conflicts. It critiques Europe's limited military support and financial contributions compared to the U.S., and questions the rationale behind American involvement. The episode also touches on historical invasions of Russia and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and criticizes European dependency on U.S. defense. Finally, it suggests that Europe should take more responsibility for its security and foreshadows the next episode on the Flint Water Crisis. Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.…
Send us a text The story of the Flint Water Crisis was not only overblown, but misrepresented. River water isn't bad. There's nothing wrong with the pipes. The river is not polluted or better than lake water. The only real failure in Flint was Democrat politics. Two bankrupt cities in Detroit went to war. A conflict of egos stoked by incompetence, led to contamination of drinking water. Ultimately, it was only the Republicans fixing the problem who were held accountable.

Send us a text In this episode of 'The Tenth Man,' we delve into the complex interplay between TikTok, democracy, and political backstops. From the attempted ban on TikTok by both the Trump and Biden administrations to the larger implications of the First and Second Amendments, we explore how these legislative battles reflect deeper issues in American governance. The discussion also tackles the TikTok controversy's parallels with landmark rulings like Roe vs. Wade, and the unexpected ways these backstops shape political strategies and public perception. Tune in to understand why President Biden's lack of enforcement on the TikTok ban might just be the real 'threat to democracy.'

Send us a text The Los Angeles wildfires are receiving non-stop news coverage. And why not? They are causing a record amount of damage. Let’s look beyond the surface, look past the finger pointing, and let’s find real reasons this disaster took place. Why it happened, and why it’s so bad. Sadly, the answer again is Democrat liberal and woke politics. From the mundane factors like building codes and public water supply, to controversial topics like DEI and Climate Change, the Democrat's positions have created and exacerbated the disaster.

Send us a text The errors and lies of the government and how they led to the deaths of fourteen people in New Orleans. With politicians focused on their own careers and using hate and division to advance those careers, the inevitable result was the New Orleans vehicle ramming attack. Equally inevitable is the stream of lies and misinformation coming forth in the aftermath. ISIS and Radicalization are the catchwords, when vehicle ramming attacks are what our leaders should have been looking out for. They did not, and their failures will go unpunished, more likely being rewarded. Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.…
Send us a text Jimmy Carter is remembered as a nice guy, but a weak man. A one-term president who never showed strength, he’s one more example of the fad politics of the Democrat party. Always choosing symbols over ability. We can only hope the many houses he helped to build had a better plan and a better foundation than did his presidency. Jimmy Carter was the first in a modern line of southern presidents. Like Bill Clinton he came out of nowhere, the unknown governor of a southern state. Like George Bush he was a former naval officer and businessman. But unlike either one he served a single term leaving failure failure behind to spend the rest of his life successfully polishing his image. He even received a Nobel Peace Prize but much like the award given to Barack Obama no one can tell you how he got it without looking it up first.
