| Your 401(k) Was Never Meant for Retirement | 12 Mar 2026 | 00:14:11 | |
Eighty-one percent of workers fear losing their jobs in 2025 — and most of them can't afford to quit anyway. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley call the Great Stay what it is: a debt trap dressed as job stability. Then they crack open the retirement system. The 401(k) was never designed for you — it's section 401(k) of the tax code, a corporate cost-saving accident that got rebranded as a future. Only 15% of workers still have a real pension. Dave's late wife had one — it paid out pennies on the dollar. Average 401(k) balance: $97,369. Unfunded liabilities: $145 trillion. Nobody's asking how we pay for any of it. Timestamps:

What if America isn’t full, but underperforming? Jerremy’s math shows the U.S. could house 8 billion people with land to spare, and history proves the economy adapts. From the Great Depression’s 25% unemployment to the 2008 crash’s 15%, downturns didn’t break the system—they reshaped it.

A buddy told Dave he was qualified for "stupid" — that's how he got hired at AOL with 200 college credits and nothing to show for it. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley skip the inspirational playbook and get blunt: showing your feet on Instagram is not a career, professional athlete is not a plan, and your gap year needs a deadline. Then the real edge: Americans are trapped in a cycle where income equals identity, work equals endurance, and nobody on their deathbed says they wish they'd logged more hours.

The hidden costs of America's immigration system go far beyond government fees. Melissa Harms reveals how prevailing wage requirements force companies to pay H-1B workers exorbitant salaries with the intent to protect US workers. Moreover, foreign workers become trapped in "indentured servitude" for decades, unable to change jobs or leave the country.

| Paper Planes and Brain Drain: America's Medieval Immigration Lottery is Bleeding Talent | 04 Aug 2025 | 00:16:39 | |
Every year, America educates the world's brightest minds—then kicks them out. Immigration attorney Melissa Harms exposes how our archaic H-1B visa system forces Silicon Valley companies to mail paper applications like it's 1925. With only 85,000 visas for hundreds of thousands of applicants, Stanford PhDs have the same 25% lottery odds as entry-level workers. Meanwhile, $44 billion in international student investment flees to countries that actually want global talent. This isn't immigration policy—it's economic sabotage. Timestamps:

erremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley close out the Trigger Warning series with a full recap of what four guests taught them about guns in America. 44,000 gun deaths a year. 62% are suicides — disproportionately lonely rural veterans.

Marie Newman followed the money. Parisa proved $500 million could harden every school. The throughline: this is a crisis of men, not a crisis of guns. And the system profits from leaving it unsolved.
