Episodes
This week on Data & Dissonance, we connect the dots the media refuses to. From the international stage to Washington, D.C., and straight into Colorado, we break down how power behaves when it no longer tolerates scrutiny — and what happens to the people who challenge it.
🌍 Segment One — International:
We examine the global precedent being set as sovereign assets are frozen indefinitely in the name of “stability,” and why eme...
The Polis Problem: When Governors Boost Extremists
Colorado Governor Jared Polis just ignited a political firestorm by promoting commentator Richard Hanania — a man whose past writings under the pseudonym Richard Hoste included eugenics, racial purity arguments, and published work in white-supremacist outlets. Tonight, Artie and the panel dig deep into the receipts, the political hypocrisy, and the selective outrage that has Dem...
The Whitewash Problem: Phase Two — The Fallout No One Can Explain
This week, the misclassified crime data scandal explodes into a full-blown credibility crisis. A DHS whistleblower steps forward, states uncover thousands more altered records, and federal agencies scramble to rewrite their earlier statements. Artie and the panel break down the chaos, the contradictions, and the deeper implications of a government that quietly edits r...
Tonight, Artie and the crew dig into the explosive controversy surrounding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after a U.S. strike sinks a Venezuelan narco-terrorist vessel and sparks a political firestorm. Democrats scream “war crime,” the media rushes to frame the narrative, and the intelligence leaks begin before the bodies are even pulled from the water. Brian unleashes the MAGA fury, Rachel breaks down ROE and real legal standar...
In the 12/8/25 episode of Data & Dissonance, Artie and the full panel tear into the pipe bomb reporting fiasco that exposed a much bigger national problem: media outlets and federal systems repeatedly misclassifying non-white suspects as “white” to feed long-running political narratives. When Jake Tapper confidently labeled a clearly Black suspect as “a white male,” the glitch in the matrix finally became too obvious to igno...
On this Friday flagship episode of Data & Dissonance (12/5/25), Artie and the full panel break down a week that exposed just how unstable America’s institutions really are.

Segment Two gets explosive as Tulsi Gabbard challenges the intelligence establishment, raisin...
Tonight on Data & Dissonance, Artie and the panel break down the escalating showdown between the Trump administration and Congress over potential military action in Venezuela.

Plus: merch drop, final thoughts, and...
Minnesota likes to pretend everything’s “Minnesota Nice,” but tonight we peel back the snow and expose the rot underneath. From the largest COVID-era fraud scheme in the nation to federal investigations, overseas money trails, and years of political cowardice under Gov. Walz — the truth is finally hitting daylight. And President Trump isn’t waiting for the state to find a backbone. He’s canceling TPS for Somalis, sending in fed...
“The Seditious Six: The Line They Crossed”
Tonight on Data & Dissonance, Artie and the full panel break down one of the most explosive political stories of the year: The Seditious Six — six Democratic lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds who released a viral PSA urging troops to refuse “illegal orders.”
Was it constitutional guidance? Political sabotage? Or a reckless message that destabilizes the chain of com...
Today on Data & Dissonance:
We break down the shocking ambush in Washington, D.C. that left 20-year-old National Guard soldier Sarah Beckstrom dead and Andrew Wolfe fighting for his life — a tragedy directly tied to Biden-era vetting failures that President Trump is now forced to clean up. Artie and the panel dig deep into the policies, the warnings that were ignored, the media cover-up, and the dangerous system left behind ...
Tonight on Data & Dissonance, we close out Thanksgiving Week with one final, loaded episode before taking a break until Monday, December 1st.
Artie and the panel dig into three major stories shaping America this week:
Why Thanksgiving 2025 is actually more affordable than last year, why the media won’t admit it, and how activists are trying to turn the dinner table into a political battlefield.
Newly leaked DHS memos warn of a “ho...
Trump’s unexpected White House meeting with socialist Zohran Mamdani sends the left into meltdown mode, Jasmine Crockett unleashes another chaotic rant that proves volume isn’t intelligence, and the Epstein files continue ripping through the elite class with resignations, panic, and desperate media spin.
The full roundtable breaks it down — Brian brings the MAGA fire, Rachel brings balance, Daniel connects the deeper patterns, and S...

Then we shift to the media meltdown of the decade: CNN and MSNBC are in full-blown panic as ratings crash through t...
MTG throws a political grenade at Trump, the Epstein Files vote EXPLODES through Congress with a 427–1 blowout, and Trump welcomes the Saudi Crown Prince with a hug that sends the media into meltdown mode. We break down the infighting, the transparency battle, and the global power plays shaping the week—raw, unfiltered, and with zero patience for spin.

In tonight’s episode, Artie and the panel break down three of the biggest stories the mainstream media keeps trying to bury.
• Segment 1: Texas takes down over 140 suspects tied to Tren de Aragua in one of the largest cartel crackdowns of the year — exposing the border crisis the White House insists doesn’t exist.

Tonight we break down a three-front pressure wave hitting America at the same time: Iran pokes the world and gets a naval hammer from Trump, cartels push deep into Colorado, Kansas & Nebraska, and BRICS launches their wannabe anti-dollar currency while pretending they understand economics. Brian brings the fire, Rachel brings the logic, Daniel connects the global chaos, and Skylar pushes the progressive counterweight — all whil...

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
