Wednesday, October 7, 2026
Seth discusses the concept of "yellow journalism," which was first coined in the late 19th century, and how it's still prevalent today. He argues that the media's focus on creating a sense of urgency and drama can lead to a distorted view of reality, causing us to lose sight of the facts and instead become consumed by emotions. He also touches on the idea that the media's portrayal of the world can be detrimental to our mental health, contributing to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Seth discusses his difficulties at a gas station with Producer David Doll. We’re joined by Don Spini from Sun Valley Wealth. Seth compares the prices of gasoline from 2026 all the way back to 1979. Don’t let Democrats get away with telling you that the Trump Administration is giving the nation “record-high” gas prices. United Airlines has just suspended a pilot who publicly praised the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by the terrorist group Hamas.
