It Might Just Be Me
As America continues its great struggle in the 21st century, knowing who we are and what our nation has long stood for will help us solve the divide we currently face. Raw, emotional, outrage is the currency of our political system, but more often than not, we dont seem to know why we are angry ... we simply are. Knowing the intention of our Founders for our nation's future is critical to our present. Understanding how our government works is the key to fixing her problems, but for most Americans, they struggle with knowing the difference between our state legislatures and members of Congress. This podcast will explore, in depth, the foundations that have made us strong, and the efforts to weaken us from within. My Mother always said, "Plain talk is easy understood." That is what you will get here, plain talk, without having to guess what it means.

Steve Sund was the US Capitol Police Chief on January 6, 2021. Like many, I have had so many questions about what really happened that day.
Over almost 40 minutes, Chief Sund answered my questions with painstaking details. While there are still many details to talk about, I hope you find this as illuminating as I do.
Matt Jacobson is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy. He was also a pilot in the United States Air Force.
Jacobson is also the foremost expert on energy in Maine, from energy creation to how it is dispensed through our grid.
We walk through the issues Maine is facing and then close with specific solutions to fix the problems.
Hope you enjoy.
Sarah is a guest on my morning show most Thursdays at 7AM EST.
Not only is she brilliant, she is a warrior. Being a warrior is in her bloodstream, she doesn't know how to sit idly by while others suffer injustice.
I am grateful for her commentary each week, but more importantly, I get to call her friend.
Domenic Pugliares, Tom Bill, Demi Kouzounas and Dee Dee Richardson join me from Common Sense for Maine. We got a update of the organization's activities and talked about the issues that are on the minds of Maine people.
We had a wide ranging conversation on the economy. From a well-educated workforce to the impact of AI, Peter gives his thoughts on where we are and where we are going.
This is a rather broad romp about election integrity, the proper path for immigrants when they come to America and the very long list of potential and confirmed candidates for Governor in Maine in November 2026.
I hope this comes off as I intended - there is a lot of information, at a fast pace about the Russia collusion investigation and the role Barack Obama played.
I tried to boil down into 40ish minutes what took me several hundred hours of research. Hopefully, it makes sense to you.
Regardless, you must care about this issue. If Obama did what I believe he has done and DNI Tulsi Gabbard now claims with the release of declas...
Garret Mason is a friend of over two decades. He is a husband, father, businessman, former State Senator and Majority Leader, and potential candidate for the office of Maine Governor.
More importantly, he is a great guy, someone who makes you better for being around him.
We had a wide-ranging conversation about life, faith, the state of Maine, his business and tapping into Maine's unrealized potential.
This podcast was taped on July 10, 2025, six days after the OBBB was into law. Democratic leaders around the country are LYING about the bill. I wanted to give some clarity and to challenge you to research it yourself ... In other words, don't take my word for it, or the word of anyone else.
A reciting of the Declaration of Independence and how we got to that point, 249 years ago
I had a few struggles with my commentary and my voice was soft, but like my morning show, I left it all in, flaws and everything
Hope you have a safe and celebratory Independence Day

Again, we (Dee Dee and me) are so grateful to you all for your willingness to listen and provide your f...

# Tommy joined me again the day after the election 11-06-2024 #
