Vance vs. Rubio 2028, Starlink’s Telco Takeover, $40 Trillion Debt, & the VP Pick Nobody Votes On | 110316 okt56 min

Mike ter Maat joins Brian Nichols to reveal the VP pick nobody votes on, Vance vs. Rubio 2028, and the $40 trillion debt, and why the Republican Party's biggest fight is happening right now. Plus Starlink's telco takeover... and whether it takes an outsider to fix a broken system.

Mike was the Libertarian Party's 2024 VP nominee. Now he's seeking the Republican nomination for Vice President in 2028. Not president. VP. Nobody has ever run a campaign for that job... so why is he doing it? And what does he want delegates in Houston to do that they've never done before?

Then we get into Thomas Massie. The most expensive House primary in American history. Was the liberty message rejected... or is the market just not buying yet?

And then it gets heated. JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Starlink's 800 MHz play, and $40 trillion in debt. Mike says my math is wrong, not my principle. Is he right? You be the judge.

Mike is also the editor of the new book BROKEN: How American Politics Is Driving Civil Unrest, Financial Collapse & War. If this one doesn't leave you educated, enlightened, and informed, I'll eat my microphone.
