Episode Details

In this week's episode of Breaking Battlegrounds, we kick off with an insightful segment featuring Aaron Steed, the CEO of Meathead Movers. Despite the numerous accolades, including being recognized by the Obama Administration, Meathead Movers recently faced a federal lawsuit alleging age discrimination. It's important to note that no individual filed a complaint against Meathead Movers; this action came directly from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. We delve into the details of the lawsuit, exploring the implications and challenges ahead. Following this, Ashley Hayek, Executive Director of America First Works, engages in two segments, shedding light on her new book, "Beat the Elites," the fentanyl crisis, and her early entrepreneurial endeavors of selling Mistletoe's during the holidays. Lastly, we are joined by Patrick Byrne, founder of Overstock.com, discusses whistleblower complaints aimed at Jack Smith. Kiley is back this week for Kiley's Corner, where she takes us on a delightful exploration of the history of ugly Christmas sweaters. Don't miss these thought-provoking conversations shaping our current landscape!
