Hot and Bothered
In the hundreds in Texas, in the nineties in Oregon, and in the nineties on the East Coast. The hosts of Right and Freedom are hot and bothered—and not in a good way. In this pod-isode, we discuss the overwhelming mountain of evidence that there is about climate change. But wait…there’s more! It wouldn’t be a Right and Freedom Podcast without some mention of the deplorables and those who follow MTG (and not Magic the Gathering, unfortunately). It turns out one of our very good friends has been brainwashed apparently and now is…get this…quoting MTG as an expert. On what? Listen and find out, but be assured, she’s not an expert. But “she’s an elected politician so she knows things we can’t.”
What War is Good For
Any advanced country has been through enough wars to understand that ultimately, what happens in war is the poor people are sent to die. In some cases, war is necessary. When we think about Afghanistan and Ukraine and other conflicts, then messaging matters, and nobody knows this better than the members of Congress who are continually trying to repaint history. For example, Kevin McCarthy, the Spineless, wasted little time trying to pin the surrender of America to the Taliban on Biden, when the deal was negotiated by Donald Trump. Why?
Coincidentally, the same members of Congress, now that said McCarthy is in a leadership position and has MTG as his heavy, he’s wasting no time in doing more of the same in Ohio, when, again, it was Trump who made the strategic failure with his regulatory rollbacks.
This is a tactic of people without moral foundation and devoid of ideas. And these are the people currently in charge of one of the most powerful institutions in the world. If that doesn’t make you nervous, it should. And another thing that should make you nervous? What do you think Tucker Carlson is going to do as the sole owner of 44k hours of video footage? And a better question is: why would Kevin McCarthy give said footage to Carlson?
Questions they don’t want you to ask…
The Vigilante “Justice” Award
So this week, MTG decided to nominate Kyle Rittenhouse for the Congressional Gold Medal in H.R.6070. Kyle Rittenhouse, in case you’ve forgotten, left his state, acquired an AR-15, and then proceeded to a riot a state away that was already in progress allegedly in order to protect the property of a friend of his family. This led to the murders of 2 men and injury of a third. In the best case, this is vigilante justice. In the worse, he was looking for some liberals to kill. Either way, this hardly qualifies for the Congressional Gold Medal. For context, the first Congressional Gold Medal was awarded to George Washington in 1776. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think George Washington when I think of Kyle Rittenhouse. You can see the bill here, and read it closely. The language is precise and planned and intends to paint a picture that doesn’t take into account everything that transpired.

Also, MTG is a co-sponsor of H.R.1095, which attempts to declare the AR-15 the “National Gun of the United States.” Ignoring that an AR-15 is a weapon and not a gun, what’s striking to the Right and Freedom host is that our taxpayer dollars were spent on her time authoring and pushing legislation that’s ornamental in nature and completely asinine on the face of it. America has never had, nor needed a national gun.
