Kirk Remembrance, VRA Clash, and Why 3I/ATLAS Has Everyone Looking Up (Ep. 185)
Description
In this solo episode from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I catch up with listeners after a brief break, share updates on our guest lineup, and send prayers for our executive producer Wayne as he recovers from a serious post‑biopsy infection. I thank our growing audiences on Rumble and YouTube, explain why Rumble is our home base, and invite feedback on guests and topics you want next. I also discuss the show’s value‑for‑value model, how to connect via joerooz.com, and ways to support the show as we navigate an unexpected escrow shortfall that could impact our production schedule.
From there, I dive into current events: President Trump’s posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom for Charlie Kirk and the newly declared national day of remembrance; the State Department revoking visas of foreign nationals who publicly celebrated Kirk’s assassination; media double standards around leaked private chats among young Republicans versus violent rhetoric from Democrat AG hopeful Jay Jones; and sharp exchanges at the Supreme Court as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson draws a controversial ADA analogy in a Voting Rights Act case. I close with an explainer on the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS—its composition, trajectory, and why it’s puzzling astronomers—plus a primer on the Texas Nationalist Movement’s legislative, peaceful approach to state sovereignty and an upcoming interview with TNM leaders. As always, I invite comments, topic ideas, and community engagement across our platforms.
