You’re about to learn why two of America’s most famous Navy SEALs are publicly sniping at each other — and why this fight says a lot about modern politics, podcast fame, and conservative culture wars. In this episode of Barrett & Baxa , Steve Barrett and Bob Baxa break down the very public rift between Texas Congressman and former Navy SEAL Dan Crenshaw and podcaster/former SEAL Shawn Ryan — a clash that somehow involves birthday party posters, DJ Steve Aoki, legal threats, and bruised egos. We walk through what Shawn Ryan said on his podcast, how Dan Crenshaw responded, and why both men ended up doing the exact thing they claimed to hate: making dramatic internet videos. Along the way, we compare this SEAL-on-SEAL dust-up to other growing conservative civil wars — Tucker vs. Shapiro, Candace Owens vs. everyone, and the rise of public “pissing matches” in right-leaning media circles. The result? A funny, sharp, and slightly painful look at how real heroes sometimes trip over celebrity culture, how political branding collides with authenticity, and why Americans might prefer their Navy SEALs a little quieter and a lot less Saturday Night Live.

If you want to learn how modern political pandering turns into unintentional comedy, this episode is a masterclass. In this edition of Barrett & Baxa – 10 Minutes of Truth , Steve and Bob break down Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s now-viral attempts to pander to Somali voters by butchering the Somali language so badly it sounds like a deleted scene from Bridesmaids . We analyze the now-legendary mashup comparing Frey’s awkward Somali speeches to Kristen Wiig’s famously painful Spanish scene — and spoiler alert: the vibes are identical. From campaign optics and identity politics to food-photo ops and forced cultural performances, this episode shows how political pandering often backfires into parody. But it doesn’t stop at comedy. Steve and Bob connect the dots between voter pandering, media silence, and one of the largest alleged welfare fraud scandals in U.S. history — while legacy networks spend more time covering Trump complaining about fraud than the fraud itself. If you want to understand media bias, political theater, and why voters are laughing instead of listening, this episode delivers the truth with punchlines. | Ten Minutes of Truth #74 #BarrettAndBaxa #10MinutesOfTruth #JacobFrey #MinneapolisPolitics #MediaBias #PoliticalPandering #SomaliFraud #WelfareFraud #MediaSilence #NewsBias #IdentityPolitics #ViralPolitics #ComedyPolitics Jacob Frey, Minneapolis mayor, Somali language speech, Somali voters, political pandering, welfare fraud Minnesota, media bias, ABC NBC coverage, Newsbusters, Minneapolis politics, Somali community Minnesota, viral political clips, Bridesmaids mashup, identity politics, media hypocrisy, election pandering

You’re about to learn how modern politics has fully crossed the line from “serious business” into full sketch comedy — and why the internet is doing a better job reporting it than the media. In this episode of 10 Minutes of Truth , Steve and Bob unload a week’s worth of political insanity, viral clips, and unintentional comedy that simply demanded commentary. From Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s painfully awkward Somali food stunt (the facial expressions say it all), to the growing taxpayer fraud scandals in Minnesota, to the rise of what might be the most accurate phrase of the year — “suicidal empathy” — this episode connects the dots between performative politics, misplaced compassion, and real-world consequences. Spoiler alert: the taxpayers are the punchline. Then it’s on to Jasmine Crockett’s baffling Senate campaign ad, where Donald Trump does all the talking, she does none, and somehow that’s the strategy. No policies. No ideas. Just vibes, blinking, and folded arms. If Idiocracy felt prophetic before, it now feels like opposition research. This episode breaks down why modern politics is increasingly driven by viral moments, grievance branding, and “I hate Trump” as a substitute for an actual platform — all with sharp humor, brutal honesty, and zero guardrails. #BarrettAndBaxa #10MinutesOfTruth #PoliticalComedy #MediaSchmedia #JacobFrey #JasmineCrockett #MinnesotaFraud #PoliticalSatire #ViralPolitics #Idiocracy #TaxpayerFraud #ModernPolitics #MediaBias #PodcastClips #PoliticalPodcast Jacob Frey Somali food video, Jasmine Crockett campaign ad, Minnesota fraud scandal, Somali fraud Minnesota, political satire podcast, conservative comedy podcast, viral political clips, media bias commentary, taxpayer fraud Minnesota, suicidal empathy politics, bad political ads, modern politics satire, Trump campaign ads reaction, idiocracy politics podcast, Barrett and Baxa

Want to save your kids from going viral and going to the ER? Curious why TikTok trends keep ending with police lights, lawsuits, and in some cases… bullet wounds? In this episode of Barrett & Baxa , Steve and Bob unpack the wild world of dangerous TikTok challenges—from door-kicking idiocy to “annoy strangers until they snap” pranks—and explain how a quest for clicks is turning teens into Darwin Award contestants. We dive into real-life news stories, including shootings connected to viral pranks, a Florida sheriff issuing the most Florida warning ever, and the now-infamous case of prankster Tanner Cook, the guy who learned the hard way that shoving a phone in a stranger’s face doesn’t always end in a like and a subscribe. You’ll hear about home improvement store mayhem, drywall collisions, and kids who somehow think “kicking someone’s front door at 2 a.m.” is a harmless LOL moment. Spoiler: homeowners disagree. Loudly. And armed. If you want to understand how social-media clout culture is pushing teens into increasingly dangerous behavior—and how quickly a “funny” TikTok bit can turn criminal or fatal—this is your episode. Come for the laughs, stay for the life-saving PSA, and leave knowing exactly how NOT to get shot or sued on the internet. #TikTokChallenge #DangerousTrends #ViralPranks #SocialMediaSafety #PranksGoneWrong #TannerCook #DoorKickingTrend #BarrettAndBaxa #10MinutesOfTruth #MediaShmedia #SocialMediaCulture #HomeownerDefense #FloridaSheriff #GradyJudd #CloutChasing tiktok dangerous trends, viral pranks gone wrong, tanner cook shooting, alan colie case, door kicking challenge, home invasion prank, social media harassment, prankster shot, dangerous viral trends, barrett and baxa podcast, media shmedia episode, 10 minutes of truth, florida sheriff grady judd, viral challenge deaths, teen social media danger, youtube prank culture, viral trend lawsuit, tiktok injury cases, clout chasing culture, public harassment prank

You’ll walk away laughing, but also understanding why teenagers think the news media is about as trustworthy as a Craigslist used car listing. iHeartMedia has now declared itself “Guaranteed Human.” And yes, that is an actual slogan — not the label on a gluten-free snack. Steve and Bob dive into the brave new world where radio DJs are either real humans making $9 an hour, or AI robots pretending to care about Lady Gaga intros. It’s a hilarious breakdown of how legacy media keeps insisting it’s authentic… while also quietly replacing Chad in the booth with a microchip. But then things go off the rails — the media loses its mind over a typo at a Trump cabinet meeting. One extra “S” in the word “Secretary,” and suddenly headlines scream NAZI SIGNAL! DROWSY PEOPLE! SOMEONE DOODLED! . Our hosts unpack how a bored intern with WordPad became the center of a national panic — and why this circus is exactly why Gen Z trusts the media less than gas station sushi. Finally, Steve and Bob explore whether journalism is even journalism anymore — or if YouTubers, podcasters and independent creators are the only real reporters left. #MediaBias #FakeNews #AIvsHuman #iHeartMedia #TrumpNews #NewsAnalysis #PodcastClip #PoliticalComedy #MediaCritique #IndependentMedia #YouTubePodcast #BreakingNewsFail #JournalismCrisis iHeartMedia guaranteed human, AI radio DJs, media bias analysis, Trump cabinet typo, Pete Hegseth nameplate misspelling, news media criticism, journalism crisis, media trust survey, teenagers distrust news, Nazi symbol accusation, political humor podcast, YouTube political commentary, AI in broadcasting, independent media growth, podcast comedy commentary, media meltdown analysis

Want to know whether YOU qualify as a journalist… or if you need a million YouTube subscribers and a federal judge’s permission slip? In today’s episode, Steve and Bob break down the wild new legal battle that could reshape digital media, citizen journalism, YouTube reporting, and maybe the entire future of independent news. Plus, we promise: watching this episode will make you at least 37% smarter about the First Amendment—or at least give you something spicy to yell about on the internet. We dive into the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni drama, the Tampa judge demanding a YouTuber hand over his sources, and whether “Popcorned Planet” counts as journalism or just journalism-with-extra-butter. Then we swerve straight into high-octane political comedy, featuring Eric Swalwell posting the most unintentionally hilarious campaign video of 2025 and Katie Porter dropping swearwords like she’s trying to win a Democratic talent show. It’s media chaos, political cringe, and legal insanity—all delivered at the speed of a caffeinated stand-up comic. If you want truth, comedy, constitutional law, celebrity feuds, and a masterclass in how not to run for governor, this episode is your new favorite form of therapy. #journalism #YouTubeNews #IndependentMedia #BlakeLively #JustinBaldoni #PopcornedPlanet #FreePress #FirstAmendment #EricSwalwell #KatiePorter #Politics2025 #MediaAnalysis #DigitalJournalism #CourtCase #YouTuberNews #10MinutesOfTruth journalism, YouTube journalist, Popcorned Planet, Andy Signore, Blake Lively lawsuit, Justin Baldoni lawsuit, Eric Swalwell campaign, Katie Porter governor run, citizen journalism, First Amendment, source protection, judge Tampa ruling, YouTube politics, media analysis, political commentary, YouTube court case, independent journalism, YouTube legal case, political cringe, viral political video, comedy news commentary

Want to laugh and feel slightly less crazy about the state of the world? In this Media Shmedia comeback special, Steve and Bob unload everything that doesn’t fit into a tidy 10 Minutes of Truth. From a bald eagle dropping a cat through a windshield (yes, really) to small-town TV news disasters, TikTok haters, awkward headshots, and an actual African politician named Adolf Hitler — this episode is basically what happens when cable news, local news, and clown world all show up to the same party. You’ll also hear about Rachel Maddow mysteriously materializing at Dick Cheney’s funeral, the New York Times turning an illegal-immigrant identity thief into a “co-victim,” Somali fraud scandals in Minnesota, woke campus gatekeepers punishing a Christian student over gender, and a British guy arrested for… posting a Florida vacation photo. Steve and Bob break down how media, academia, and “captured” institutions keep flipping criminals into victims and reality into propaganda — and how to spot the trick. Watch this episode if you want to laugh, yell “you’ve got to be kidding me,” and walk away with sharper media BS radar. #BarrettAndBaxa #MediaSchmedia #10MinutesOfTruth #MediaBias #FakeNews #SomaliFraud #IdentityTheft #RachelMaddow #DickCheney #TrumpDerangementSyndrome #WokeMadness #IllegalImmigration #FreeSpeech #GunRights #TikTok #ChristianConservative #GenderIdeology Barrett and Baxa, Media Schmedia, 10 Minutes of Truth, conservative podcast, media bias, fake news, legacy media, Rachel Maddow Dick Cheney funeral, Trump Derangement Syndrome, Somali fraud Minnesota, Feeding Our Future scandal, Tim Walz scandal, identity theft New York Times, Two Men One Identity They Both Paid The Price, Romeo Perez Bravo, Dan Kluver, illegal immigration fraud, criminals as victims, Campbell Soup CIO controversy, Oklahoma student Christian beliefs gender essay, gender ideology on campus, woke universities, Afton Bain Tennessee, men can get pregnant, Nick Fuentes controversy, antisemitism on the right, TikTok hates us, Crown Act hair discrimination, Michelle Obama hair rant, Sikh truckers episode, UK gun arrest holiday photo, free speech vs censorship, small town news fail, bald eagle drops cat, birds of prey and pets, headshots photo shoot, conservative comedy, political commentary, right wing humor, anti woke podcast

YOU’RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW POLITICS TURNED INTO PERFORMANCE ART — AND WHY VIRAL OUTRAGE NOW BEATS COMMON SENSE AT THE BALLOT BOX. If you’ve ever wondered how stunt politics, social media activism, and online theater took over American elections… congratulations. This episode is your crash course. On this episode of Barrett & Baxa , Steve and Bob break down the most bizarre political spectacle of the election cycle as they examine Afton Behn — a candidate whose campaign was powered less by policy and more by Instagram meltdown energy. From crashing government offices for clicks to public screaming fits that look more like reality TV auditions than leadership, the hosts dissect how viral behavior has become a legitimate strategy in modern campaigns. Along the way, they roast performative outrage, expose how theatrics replace substance, and ask the uncomfortable question nobody else wants to touch: Has politics become nothing more than addiction to attention and emotional chaos? If you’re tired of being gaslit by viral nonsense and want to understand how spectacle now wins elections… this episode hands you the decoder ring. viral politics, performative activism, political theater, influencer politicians, outrage culture, modern elections, political spectacle, social media campaigns, viral candidates, election commentary, political meltdown, performative politics, culture wars, political analysis podcast, election cycle drama, internet politics, political branding, attention economy politics, culture commentary #Politics #ViralPolitics #OutrageCulture #PoliticalCommentary #ElectionSeason #MediaCriticism #CultureWars #InfluencerPolitics #ModernElections #PoliticalPodcast #BarrettAndBaxa #TruthInMedia #PoliticalSatire

Want the fastest way to understand why Trump and Zohran Mamdani just had the political equivalent of two dogs barking through a fence… only to act polite when the gate opens? Watch this episode and you’ll walk away knowing exactly how the chaos in Minnesota, New York, D.C. and Somalia all collided in a single news cycle. And yes—there’s a brand-new “Governor Tim Walz: Fraud Edition” action figure. Batteries not included. Blame-shifting finger sold separately. In this explosive Ten Minutes of Truth, Steve and Bob break down Trump’s unexpectedly warm Oval Office moment with NYC’s socialist mayor, followed immediately—and we mean immediately—by Trump revoking Somali TPS status and accusing Minnesota of harboring clan-based welfare schemes straight out of a geopolitical soap opera. We dive into Somali fraud, Minnesota taxpayer outrage, Zelensky déjà vu, a Fox News Oval Office hipcheck, and the billion-dollar welfare scandal lighting up Minnesota media like it’s Christmas morning. If you want political clarity and a few good laughs while learning why Minnesota now needs a polling firm dedicated exclusively to Somali clans, this episode is your pre-holiday gift. We even explain why Tim Walz is pointing his “blame finger” at literally everyone except himself. Buckle up—this is media truth, not media schmedia. #TenMinutesOfTruth #BarrettAndBaxa #TrumpNews #Mamdani #MinnesotaFraud #SomaliFraud #TimWalz #PoliticalPodcast #MediaBias #ConservativeCommentary #OvalOffice Media bias explained, Conservative commentary, Political humor podcast, Local corruption exposed, Fraud investigation Minnesota, What really happened , Truth behind Explained clearly , What you didn’t know , Inside the scandal

Want to understand the civil war erupting inside the American conservative movement—without drowning in rage tweets, burner accounts, or “fluffing and cucking” references? Then this episode is your survival guide. In ten fast minutes, we break down the biggest internal rift the right has faced in years: Israel, Gaza, and the political earthquake triggered by Charlie Kirk’s final letter, Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes, and the Ben Shapiro–Fuentes culture-war explosion. Watch this episode and you’ll walk away able to explain the entire feud in one breath—and maybe even save a Thanksgiving dinner argument. Steve and Bob dissect how this fight splintered conservatives into two loud camps: the Tucker/Fuentes/Heritage faction and the Shapiro/Levin traditionalist wing. We look at how Charlie Kirk became a posthumous lightning rod, why Tucker didn’t push back on Fuentes, how the Heritage Foundation got dragged into the blast radius, and why Megyn Kelly is stuck playing political Switzerland. All of it, delivered with a comedic edge—because sometimes the only way to process conservative infighting is to laugh before your brain combusts. If you want a sharp, funny, deeply informed breakdown of the right’s new identity crisis—and the media narratives fueling it—you’re in the right place. This episode promises clarity, context, and a few moments where Ben Shapiro accidentally makes a porn joke.

Want to understand why Michelle Obama’s hair, fashion choices, and 70-million-dollar lifestyle somehow keep ending in a complaint tour? Watch this episode — you’ll never look at a presidential podcast meltdown the same way again. We break down the former First Lady’s latest round of grievance-based storytelling, decode the “for y’all” hair sermon, and ask the big question: Is America tired of the Michelle Obama pity brand or just confused by it? This week, Steve and Bob take you through Michelle’s on-stage interview with Tracee Ellis Ross — complete with awkward laughter, fashion-cape confusion, mic-check mismanagement, and a full breakdown of the “white people won’t let me swim because I straighten my hair” monologue. We rewind the tape, pause the nonsense, and deliver a stand-up-style critique of the world’s most begrudging multimillionaire. Plus, Sage Steele give us a welcome respite from the FLOTUS flu with a reality check only she can properly deliver. If you’ve ever wondered why some political celebrities blame America for everything except their real problems, this episode will make you laugh, shout, rewind, and maybe even check your hair in the mirror.

If you want to understand exactly how Gavin Newsom is quietly setting himself up for a 2028 White House run, this episode will save you hours of doom-scrolling and political amnesia. Watch this and you’ll walk away with a BS-detector so sharp even California’s PR machine can’t dull it. Steve and Bob break down Newsom’s unofficial “3-step glow-up plan”: rewrite his California record, pretend the homeless crisis just moved to Oregon on its own, and somehow convince America that Joe Biden delivered a "masterclass" in anything besides tripping over sandbags. They roast the continued lying from top Democrats about Biden’s obviously declining mental acuity, the political strategy of waiting for Americans to forget everything, and Newsom’s unstoppable hand-jive choreography. Plus: the LatinX meltdown, Kamala Harris’s campaign landmine, Biden’s decades of conveniently forgotten scandals, why politicians count on our short memories, and whether the next Democratic nominee will ironically be the very demographic they claim to despise: a slick-haired white guy from California. It’s sharp, funny, politically irreverent — classic Barrett & Baxa chaos.

🚨 Warning: Watching this episode may cause sudden bursts of laughter and an uncontrollable urge to question everything the media tells you about “victims.” In this week’s Barrett & Baxa breakdown, we’re talking big rigs, bad reporting, and a BBC headline that could only come from a newsroom allergic to facts. When multiple people die in two highway crashes, the media somehow finds a way to make truck drivers the victims. Yeah, because clearly the real tragedy is that someone felt nervous. Steve and Bob—aka “Trucker Bob”—take you under the hood of the trucking industry and into the cab of common sense. From 80,000-pound rigs to illegal U-turns and “anti-Sikh rhetoric” that no one can actually find, the guys roast the coverage, expose the spin, and deliver a masterclass in how journalists invent narratives out of thin air. Spoiler: the only “high alert” status here is for nonsense. If you’ve ever yelled at a semi on the freeway (or been yelled at by one), you’ll love this one.

The BBC is facing resignations and scandal over a fake Trump edit and a woke meltdown about calling pregnant people ‘women.’ Barrett & Baxa unpack the biggest British broadcasting bombshell of the year. Find out what happens when “impartial journalism” gets caught with its pants down. In this 10 Minutes of Truth , Barrett & Baxa unpack the BBC’s spectacular implosion — complete with top-level resignations, doctored Trump clips, and an anchor who committed the unthinkable crime of calling a pregnant person a “woman.” Shocking, right? Somewhere in London, a DEI officer just fainted into a cup of Earl Grey. The boys break down how the BBC, the supposed gold standard of British broadcasting, managed to splice a Trump speech like it was an MTV music video, then lectured the public about “truth.” Meanwhile, 20 Brits actually filed complaints because a newscaster’s facial expression wasn’t woke enough. Yeah — apparently grimacing is now hate speech in Britain. If you’ve ever wondered how far the media will bend reality to fit their narrative, grab your tea and crumpets, because Barrett & Baxa are crossing the pond to deliver some high-octane mockery and razor-sharp analysis. Watch now — you’ll never trust the “most trusted broadcaster” the same way again. #BBC #BBCScandal #MediaBias #FakeNews #BarrettAndBaxa #10MinutesOfTruth #BritishMedia #TrumpSpeech #BBCNews #BBCPanorama #PregnantPeople #WokeMedia #MediaSchmedia #TruthPodcast #UKJournalism #BarrettAndBaxaPodcast #BBCImplosion #BritishBroadcasting #BBCBias #TrumpEdit BBC scandal 2025, BBC fake Trump speech, BBC bias exposed, British media meltdown, Barrett and Baxa, 10 Minutes of Truth, BBC resignations, BBC editing scandal, Trump speech edit BBC, BBC credibility crisis, pregnant people controversy UK, BBC pregnant person anchor, Martin Croxall BBC, BBC Panorama Trump edit, fake news BBC, media bias exposed, British journalism bias, BBC implodes, Trump BBC controversy, BBC news bias, UK broadcasting scandal, British fake news, Trump media coverage, Barrett and Baxa podcast, Barrett and Baxa Media Schmedia, Barrett and Baxa truth, truth podcast 2025, BBC resignations explained, woke media meltdown, pregnant people debate, BBC impartiality crisis, BBC news resignations, British media manipulation, 10 Minutes of Truth Barrett and Baxa, BBC fake edit story, BBC implosion explained, UK media bias, Trump edit controversy, BBC busted, BBC fake news 2025

Learn how to sniff out media malfeasance and dodge the headline hoax machine — so you don’t get duped. This episode of “Barrett & Baxa” peels back the screaming headlines and shows you what really happened when media outlets pick & choose facts. With the skill of a stand-up comic pointing out absurdities, we take you through three juicy examples: an undocumented father pulled out of his truck, a story of alleged police brutality that made no mention of the usual media narrative - race, and a pregnant woman-in-car video that some media tried to sell as a victim narrative. We roast the omissions, highlight the contradictions, and offer up a new acronym for headlines that tell you absolutely nothing. Expect verbal veritas, jokes, sharp commentary on selective outrage, and how to spot when the truth isn’t even in the headline. This isn’t just media criticism — it’s your viewer’s cheat sheet for fact-checking the story behind the story. #MediaMalfeasance #HeadlineHoax #FactCheckComedy #BarrettAndBaxa media malfeasance, headline hoax, fact checking news, selective outrage, undocumented father story, ICE arrest video, police brutality acquittal, Tyre Nichols case, false victim narrative, podcast commentary, current events humor

Ever wonder what happens when the Biden administration’s top two hype women hit the book tour circuit at the same time? This is no “Oprah’s Book Club” but more “Clueless: The Political Edition.” This week, Barrett and Baxa unpack the battle of the Biden backup singers — Kamala Harris and Karine “Cringe” Jean-Pierre — as they trip over talking points, misplace their binders, and redefine what it means to be “authentically scripted.” Kamala’s out there dodging tough questions like Neo in The Matrix , insisting Joe Biden was “not frail,” while we all watched him lose a wrestling match with his bicycle. Meanwhile, Karine Jean-Pierre keeps proving that the only thing she’s fluent in is virtue signaling . Together, these two are doing more for conservative comedy than Saturday Night Live has in years. If you’ve ever yelled “just answer the question!” at your TV, this one’s for you. We’re breaking down the Biden comms collapse, the DEI disaster-piece, and the awkward dance between identity politics and basic competence. Buckle up — it’s 10 minutes of truth, laughter, and a little bit of secondhand embarrassment. #BarrettAndBaxa #MediaSchmedia #BidenEraExposed #KamalaHarris #KarineJeanPierre #DemocraticPartyCrisis #PoliticalMessaging #IdentityPolitics #BookTourBattle #DEICritique Biden administration, Joe Biden frailties, Kamala Harris book tour, Karine Jean-Pierre interview, Democratic Party establishment, DEI failure, identity politics black queer, political commentary podcast, media accountability, Washington insiders, election 2024 messaging

Get straight to the shocking truth: teachers wearing bloody “Problem Solved” shirts at a high school — what it means for parents, students, and our education system. In this episode, Barrett and Baxa expose how a group of math teachers seemingly mocked the assassination of Charlie Kirk by wearing fake-blood shirts, and why their “math theme” explanation may not hold up. We dig into the backstory: a high school in Arizona, eight math teachers, shirts reading “Problem Solved” splattered with fake blood — and the superintendent’s deleted statement claiming it was just a Halloween costume. We’ll examine whether that defense collapses, what it says about school culture, and how incidents like this reflect who’s really teaching our kids. This episode is a must-watch if you’re a parent worried about what’s happening inside America’s classrooms. We promise you’ll walk away with a clear perspective on why this incident matters far beyond the shirt — and what’s at stake for education and accountability.

Unlock the hidden agenda behind the racial finger-pointing, media narratives and partisan double-standards. In this explosive episode of Barrett & Baxa, we drill into the evidence: from the leaked chat in the Young Republican group texts to the Senate candidate with the controversial tattoo — and expose how some media plays favorites depending on political alignment. We unpack how Republicans swiftly denounce and expel while Democrats circle the wagons and keep problem actors in place, and why that matters for the fairness of public discourse. We also shine a spotlight on how media manipulation and selective outrage keep Americans divided, amplify tribalism, and obscure the truth. If you’re tired of biased headlines and want raw takes, real stories and unfiltered commentary on race, power, political hypocrisy, and the slow strange death of “traditional media” — this episode delivers.

New Yorkers are in disagreement with law enforcement, creating a divide in the city, according to Barrett and Baxa. The controversy is centered around street vendors, raising questions about **social justice** and who the city sides with when it comes to **crime**. Is **politics** influencing the perception of **police** in **nyc** and **new york news**? Is **community support** being misguided?

When Trump’s ballroom wrecking ball hit the headlines, the media on the left crumbled — again. In this episode of 10 Minutes of Truth , Barrett & Baxa expose the selective outrage, hypocrisy, and media spin surrounding the so-called “White House demolition.” From MSNBC’s meltdown to viral TikToks mocking the coverage, we dissect how journalists twist the narrative to keep their audience angry and addicted. We also break down why the same people who cheered tearing down statues now scream about protecting history, and how corporate donors like Comcast, Amazon, and Apple fund the very projects their journalists claim to oppose. If you’re tired of media manipulation and double standards, this one’s a master class in spotting the spin before it hits you.

Unlock the power of conservative media push-back: in this episode, we expose how conservative politicians are finally standing up to mainstream journalists — and how that shift is rewriting the media playbook. You’ll see how figures like JD Vance and Lindsey Graham are bulldozing through old-school interview formats, calling out anchors like George Stephanopoulos and Kristen Welker, and flipping the narrative on biased questioning. Keywords: conservative media, push-back, mainstream journalism, Trump effect. We break down the tactics: cutting off the questioner, calling out ratings, referencing the network you’re on — all part of a new strategy for conservative politicians. We examine how this “Trump effect” has trained Republicans to stop playing nice with the press, and how that might reshape the next election. Keywords: press bias, media strategy, Republican politics, interview showdown. If you want to understand how media-politician dynamics are changing, and why the next cycle might look very different from the last, this episode gives you a front-row seat. 👉 Subscribe, share, and comment on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Rumble. 👉 Join the conversation: Will these aggressive tactics work for the new brand of conservative? 👉 Stay tuned for upcoming subscriber-only exclusives.

In this wild 10 Minutes of Truth, Steve and Bob dig into the internet’s latest fever dream — an AI-generated “Trump Top Gun” video that has even Kenny Loggins fired up. The guys debate whether Trump reposting it was juvenile or just Trump being Trump. Then, they tackle the questionable “7 million” figure behind the so-called No Kings protests and the media’s new obsession with crowd size. Finally, the episode dives into disturbing examples of public figures crossing the line — from a Chicago teacher’s gun gesture to Don Lemon’s unhinged comments.

Elon Musk has called out Netflix for promoting trans and other gender content in children’s programming — and the backlash has been swift. Barrett and Baxa break down how “consequence culture” is coming for the streaming giant, why parents are fighting to protect childhood innocence, and how mainstream media continues to blur the lines between inclusion and exploitation. From the Virginia locker room scandal involving a registered sex offender to Senator Josh Hawley’s viral “Two-Spirit” hearing, this episode connects the dots between policy, parenting, and cultural sanity. Bottom line: It’s not “cancel culture” — it’s consequence culture.

A sombrero, a meme, and a full-blown meltdown. This episode of 10 Minutes of Truth dives into how a lighthearted social media joke about Hakeem Jeffries sparked outrage among Democrats and the mainstream media—complete with cries of “racism,” “filth,” and “depravity.” Steve and Bob unpack the absurdity of political hypersensitivity, the death of humor, and why satire is now considered a hate crime by the woke left.

Washington is once again "shut down"—but does it even matter? Barrett and Baxa break down the government shutdown circus, the media’s overblown coverage, and why most Americans don’t even notice when D.C. hits pause.

In this episode of 10 Minutes of Truth with Barrett and Baxa , the spotlight is on the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress. Steve and Bob break down the hypocrisy in media and political reactions—contrasting how Democrats celebrated Trump-era indictments as “rule of law,” but now call Comey’s indictment an abuse of power. The discussion pulls in examples from Joe Scarborough’s past warnings, Andrew Weissmann’s double standard, and the long-running issue of political lawfare.

President Donald Trump warns that Tylenol may not be safe for pregnant women — and suddenly, progressive women online start posting videos of themselves popping the pills as protest. Barrett & Baxa break down the insanity, the medical studies going back years, and the media spin around Trump’s comments. From Yale and Mount Sinai research to Time, Reuters, and even Tylenol’s own warnings, the evidence is clear: this isn’t new. But thanks to Trump Derangement Syndrome, common sense goes out the window.

Steve and Bob dive into Kamala Harris’s media blitz as she promotes her new book. From Good Morning America to The View and Rachel Maddow, the interviews are packed with recycled talking points, softball questions, and staged stories. Barrett & Baxa break down her awkward anecdotes—like Doug “praying in the shower” on election night—and point out her microphone blunders, weak metaphors, and evasive answers on Joe Biden’s health and Pete Buttigieg’s exclusion from the VP ticket. The hosts also expose the media’s unwillingness to press Harris on serious issues like the Charlie Kirk assassination or rising left-wing violence.

This episode of 10 Minutes of Truth with Barrett & Baxa dives into the alarming rise in violence against local TV affiliates. We cover two major incidents: a failed bombing attempt targeting a Fox affiliate in Salt Lake City and a shooting into ABC10’s Sacramento studios. We break down how mainstream outlets—like NBC’s Today Show —chose to sanitize key details, leaving out context about suspects’ identities, potential motives, and connections to larger narratives. We also discuss how media bias shapes coverage of crime, why some stories get scrubbed, and how the preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live may have sparked dangerous misdirected anger toward ABC affiliates. Finally, we end with Rob Reiner’s doomsday CNN rant about “state-run media” and what it says about Hollywood’s political bubble. 👉 Subscribe, share, and comment on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Rumble. 👉 Join the conversation: What’s behind the local news attacks? 👉 Stay tuned for upcoming subscriber-only exclusives.

🚨 As Jimmy Kimmel returns to the airwaves, we break down the two-sided controversy surrounding his roller-coaster ride. Jimmy Kimmel just learned the hard way what “consequence culture” really means. From misleading syntax about Charlie Kirk’s killer to years of plummeting ratings, did ABC finally have enough? But is this about free speech, corporate pressure, or government interference? Barrett & Baxa break it all down in 20 Minutes of Truth. We cover the hypocrisy, the Roseanne comparison, Kimmel’s sinking ratings, and even a wild conspiracy theory about why he might want to be “canceled.” 👉 Like, share, and tell us—was this cancellation or just consequences?

ABC’s Matt Gutman embarrassed himself with a bizarre take on the Charlie Kirk case, while Fox News host Brian Kilmeade sparked outrage with an off-the-cuff remark about homeless people. Both were forced into damage-control apologies — but are these just “slip-ups” or proof of the slow, strange death of traditional media ? In this episode of 10 Minutes of Truth with Barrett & Baxa , we expose: How Gutman’s “gushing” over text messages backfired. Why Kilmeade’s “lethal injection” comment went viral. The media spin, the apologies, and the fallout. What it all means for trust in mainstream media. 👉 Subscribe, share, and comment on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Rumble. 👉 Join the conversation: What should happen to Kilmeade and Gutman? 👉 Stay tuned for upcoming subscriber-only exclusives.

In this episode of 10 Minutes of Truth with Barrett & Baxa , we expose the double standard in political rhetoric. For decades, Democrat leaders—from Nancy Pelosi to Joe Biden—have been caught on record calling for unrest, even violence. Yet when tragedy strikes, the left is quick to blame conservative voices. We contrast this history with a refreshing surprise: Dean Phillips, a Minnesota Democrat who flipped a Republican district and speaks with civility, reason, and respect—even when sitting down with Lara Trump. His call for debate over destruction, and dialogue over division, raises the question: Is he a Democrat the party should rally behind? 👉 Subscribe, share, and comment on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Rumble. 👉 Join the conversation: What’s your reaction to the exchange between Dean Phillips and Lara Trump?

In this episode of 10 Minutes of Truth with Barrett and Baxa, the team digs into the wave of firings and corporate responses following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. From the Office Depot controversy in Michigan to backlash at the Minnesota restaurant CoV, the duo explores how companies are navigating politically charged incidents — and whether these dismissals amount to cancel culture or simple accountability. They also highlight the growing tension between employers, employees, and customers caught in the middle of America’s culture wars. With sharp analysis, humor, and a few “FAFO” moments, Barrett and Baxa unpack what this cultural shift means for free expression, workplace policies, and the future of public discourse. 👉 Subscribe, share, and comment on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Rumble. 👉 Join the conversation: What’s your reaction to the firings, the media spin, and Kirk’s legacy? 👉 Stay tuned for upcoming subscriber-only exclusives.
