A Little Excursion
todayJanuary 6, 2026 6 1
On the fifth anniversary of January 6, with more than 30 pardoned J6 rioters arrested for crimes afterward, Ron took a hard look at how the insurrection is being rewritten—and what that means for accountability and public safety. From emotional testimony by Capitol Police officers to the rare voice of a rioter who rejected a presidential pardon, this episode cuts through the spin surrounding the attack and its aftermath. Ron also examined the sweeping pardons granted to January 6 defendants, including dozens from Georgia, how it may have covered the recently arrested pipe bomber, and the troubling pattern of re-offenses that followed.
A couple weeks back, Ron stumbled upon professor and author Andrew DeCort‘s Facebook post examining JD Vance’s obvious “white fragility” at the latest TPUSA rally. He joined the show to unpack how white grievance politics, religion, and power collide in today’s culture wars—and why truth, accountability, and neighborly love still matter. Incidentally, his book, “The Golden Rule: How The Ancient Ethic of Neighbor Love Can Heal The World” is out.
