James and guest host Mike Enoch embark on a rollicking discussion about consumers spending record-setting amounts of borrowed money on items they don't need while hundreds of thousands of retail and manufacturing jobs evaporate before their eyes- taking the middle class with it. $800 car loans on $600 incomes, cash-out refis to pay off credit cards, and the plight of the 60k-a-year overleveraged yeoman worker; where is it all headed? In the second hour, the soft reboot of the Iran conflict is dissected in detail, alongside the increasingly paranoid reaction of Purim-celebrating blue check Twitter personalities. Then, a discussion on the U.S.' quickly fading international influence and some easy solutions to not be a universally hated bloviating world bully. Finally, Mikey ruins Christmas, some suspicious digits, and tales of the Kosher Clipper. All ahead on this week's FTN!

the year 2067: Amazon buys the actual Amazon and builds ZOG Inc, a 6,000,000 person warehouse fortress that sends imperial Amazon delivery TIE fighters to search and destroy the last remaining independent general store.
Mike’s discussion with James regarding Gulf War Syndrome and suicide, battle fatigue/PTSD, etc. reminded me of a guy I did outpatient groups with for a while through the VA, and who was mentioned in this 1995 article in the LA Times. He had a son who had some developmental issues that they (he and his wife) were claiming were a result of Gulf War Syndrome effects that he (the veteran) claimed he suffered with, and was obviously fearful that there was genetic cause passed down to his son via the vaccination regimen Gulf War vets were subjected to in the… Read more »

Great show gentlemen.
Thank you.
Sure online shopping is competing against brick and morty stores. But there are too many brick and mortar stores anyways. There are some towns that have a Walgreens and a CVS across from each other. Why? Before, you had to drive 10 or more miles to find another, Bestby, Target, Walmart etc., now they’re everywhere .
The bug people, hipsters and yuppies that are infesting my neighborhood don’t drive and have everything delivered to their apartments. They live in a city and could walk everywhere, but are too lazy or don’t feel like mingling with us peasants.
Moike you asked on the last TDS what will happen when everyone knows who really rules us? The answer is nothing. The US is a shopping mall casino owned by people of heebness and you want to see the future look up those cashierless grocery stores. Once they have the tech infrastructure they will lock all people with nationalist tendencies out of society to live on the streets with insane blacks and the only way that changes is if the institutions of power stop benefitting from this project and they won’t so dark times are ahead
I for one somewhat hope for another 2008. I would most likely be fucked but it’s an event like that we need to gain more traction politically or otherwise. 2008 ruined my future financially. My inheritance was wiped out. My parents, who were multimillionaires that both retired by 50, lost about 60% of their wealth in a few weeks. They stayed retired and are still comfortable enough but they lost over $1000000. My eyes were certainly opened.
Surprised we still have any small towns left with the sales tax disappearing with online shopping.
Walmart came to my town and shut down all the mom and pops then they closed the store 3 years ago…now we have nothing except and Indian gas station
do up the ranch
Hey Jazz just wondering was I listening to the actual FTN. Mike sounds liked some demorat Hollywood elitist telling us we are stupid.
Fail.
LOL! Ackshually YOU sound like some lame ADL shill who’s using the same tired tactics than only work on brain-dead boomercons. Better luck with that NEXT time!
Dumb.
Demonrats are the real nazis! TDS needs more based blacks
“Demonrats are the real Nazis”

Look at the kind of stuff these Socialist demonrats write! It’s like he didn’t even care about muh free market We are socialists because we see the social question as a matter of necessity and justice for the very existence of a state for our people, not a question of cheap pity or insulting sentimentality. The worker has a claim to a living standard that corresponds to what he produces. We have no intention of begging for that right. Incorporating him in the state organism is not only a critical matter for him, but for the whole nation. The question… Read more »
Lol this comment is stupid
I literally just got back from iraq where we were rocketed 30+ times. Soleimani would meet with the SMG (shia militia groups) and tell them to stop rocketing US bases before there is retaliation. These are probably the attacks they are talking about, and the threat assessment was that the SMG were acting on their own accord and basically just fucking with US bases as a way of saying fuck off, which is totally cool, they deliberately shot during low traffic times and into low traffic zones. Unless this was like a retaliatory strike for what happened in Saudi these… Read more »
With regards to non-Americans filling in trucker jobs, in my experience it’s all mostly Eastern Europeans for some reason. Or they’re just non-descript brown guys that have accents like they’re from Turkey or Turkmenistan or some shit.
Soon as they figure out you are packing a pistol at work they will let you go like a bad habbit.
Mike’s volume was loud. When I turned the volume down I couldn’t hear James very good. Otherwise, good show, but miss Jazz!
Let’s not forget all this Iran show is still about the Petro-dollar (but not only). Syria and Iran remain as countries with their own banks, in control of their own economies. I’m sure they well know who the Jews are and what places they have control of. It won’t be too much longer before the petro dollar is defunct and these oil rich countries trade freely w/o converting to the dollar; it’s already happening and can’t be stopped but that is in part why we are in the Middle East. When the Petro dollar is no longer the reigning exchange… Read more »
