The Bryan Hyde Show

Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos drops in for another of our regular Tuesday therapy sessions. If you're in need of a healthy dose of rationality, Eric always delivers.

Hindsight is always helpful in connecting the dots we couldn't see when things were going sideways. Huck Davenport reminds us that time has shown that the 'paranoid' people were correct about covid.

We all can use a good pep talk from time to time. John Green has a very timely essay on how we are not victims unless we choose to be.

Sometimes it feels as though it's getting harder to find people who are still serious about seeking truth. Aletheia Hitz says truth is more than propositional. It's not just what we say but how we say it that matters.

As a member of Gen X, one of the biggest generational shifts in my lifetime is the shift from personal to positional morality. Robin Koerner explains how seeking to control others rather than yourself is changing our society.

Is it true that only a moral people can be free? Paul Rosenberg's take on this question is worth considering.

Trying to persuade your fellow countrymen that right and wrong still exist, is a battle few are willing to fight. Anthony Esolen notes that a massive effort at moral rebuilding is necessary and needs to start sooner than later.

Free speech matters more than we might think. Julian Adorney and Mark Johnson say that the opponents of free speech are gaining ground and we need to fight back.

The regulatory state is more dangerous than you think. Robert E. Wright provides some powerful insight into how the power to regulate is the power to control.

Few things will stop our personal success in its tracks like a victim mindset. Mark Johnson has an interesting solution as he teaches how to cultivate an internal locus of control that puts you in charge of your life.

The divisions throughout society are mighty deep. Jack Gleason has some timely advice for effectively communicating with brainwashed friends and family.

The public's trust issues with the medical establishment are not without merit. And when the medical establishment tells us that belief in freedom is bad for us, it doesn't make things any better.

Maybe it's the current lack of unspun news that makes truth so important to those of us who treasure it. Mark Creech lays out what it means to love the truth in a time when falsehood is king.

Now that mainstream media outlets are admitting that there may be justifiable concerns over covid vaccine side effects, there are a couple of questions we need to be asking. Kit Knightly says those questions are: "Why this and why now?"

When the president starts bloviating about how "no one needs an AR-15" it's tempting to wonder what exactly has been keeping him up at night. Charles C.W. Cooke skillfully disarms Biden's most grotesque gun control argument.

There seems to be growing darkness in almost any direction we turn right now. Larry Alton describes why if there was ever a time to remember why families are more important than ever, this is it.

After the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, the right to keep and bear arms has been on pretty solid ground. Then along comes the ATF and with a simple rule change, law abiding citizens face being transformed into criminals overnight.

Practical skills are good to have and philosophy counts as a practical skill, especially in times of confusion and disinformation. Aletheia Hitz has a strong argument for why we should study philosophy.

The systems that seek to rule us work very hard to convince us that they alone can fix our inadequacies. And a surprising number of people will defend those systems to the bitter end. George Ford Smith explains how political salvation is slow suicide.

The past 3 years have shown us that medical tyranny is not simply a dystopian conspiracy theory. Paul Craig Roberts shares how in his lifetime, he has witnessed the death of independent medicine and fair trials.

The idea that taxation is theft seems pretty obvious to anyone who understands the nature of the state. Jeff Thomas has a relatable explanation that will likely convince even those who want to assure the state that they love it.

Anyone who is aware of the World Economic Forum can see that there's serious mischief afoot. J.B. Shurk has a terrific essay on what's going on and how a revolution in the minds of the people will be necessary to stop the WEF.

Holding the right people accountable for the covid disaster is going to require swimming against the tide. James Howard Kunstler explains what that might look like and why we need testimony, not documents, to get to the truth.

The pressure to normalize the word games of the pronoun gang is pervasive and intense. Check out this short video of a guy explaining how it's a form of manipulation disguising itself as manners.

Few people have been more willing to speak truth to power and suffer the wrath of those in power than Ammon Bundy. He's a controversial figure to some but you should take the time to read his letter to the Idaho officials who are ruthlessly seeking to destroy him.

Tuesdays are always a treat as my friend Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos stops by to chat about what's happening. His latest take on corporate shills and mercenaryism is worth hearing.

Can you sense the shift in the attitude of the ruling class? They're frightened and maybe with good reason. James Howard Kunstler notes the glug glug, gurgle gurgle sounds that may indicate the ship of state is in trouble.

Assuming that you're getting yourself squared away for tougher times, here's a piece of knowledge that should serve you well. Milan Adams explains why the gray man strategy of not drawing attention to yourself is something worth knowing.

Being able to think rationally in a time when everything is in commotion is a kind of superpower. Todd Hayen has a marvelous article on why "right or wrong, I am sticking with what I believe" is a dangerous way to to think.

None of us wants to believe that we are helping to bring about tyranny but the fact is, sometimes we are. Barry Brownstein's latest is a must read as he describes how individuals enable tyranny.

We live in a time when authentic heroes are being systematically erased from the public's memory. Lawrence W. Reed explains why heroes matter--and now more than ever.

Some solutions seem too simple to be true. For instance, a return to basic moral and ethical principles is vital to the survival of a healthy society. Uldis Sprogis spells out how this simple truth applies to our society today.

If the powers that be are serious about implementing a central bank digital currency (CBDC), they must first outlaw any competing cryptocurrency. Paul Rosenberg says the claims that crypto mining is a danger to the environment are part of that effort to seize control of cryptocurrency.

It may seem too simple to be true but the best way to effect change in the world is to start with ourselves. Annie Holmquist reveals how good government starts in our marriages, our minds and our communities.

Brandon Smith has an eye-opening article on how the digitization of humanity shows why the globalist agenda is evil. It might sound like a tinfoil hat conspiracy, if it weren't coming from the mouths of World Economic Forum members themselves.

It's our weekly visit with Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos. We discuss the WEF's war on rurality and how personal secession is the key to extricating yourself from the systems trying to subjugate us.

Have you noticed how the only absolute we're still allowed to believe in is that there are no absolutes. Paul Rosenberg explains how if there's life and death, there's right and wrong.

Some will find this very hard to consider but there are clear parallels between the last days of the Weimar Republic and where we are culturally today. Check out this Twitter thread that connects some of the dots between abandoning reality/morality and serious societal decline.

Now that Jan 6 has come and gone, it's time to state a very uncomfortable truth: There was a coup but it wasn't carried out by the so-called "insurrectionists." John Dale Dunn asks, what if there was a real coup and nobody noticed?

Even though most of us have heard of the FTX cryptocurrency fiasco, we'd be hard pressed to explain exactly what happened. Paul Rosenberg has a brilliant synopsis of the FTX heist, in brief. Definitely worth a read.

Do you ever struggle with the thought that life is meaningless? Todd Hayen has an interesting take on a meaningless life and why there may be dark forces that are trying to make us feel that way.

You don't have to be a fanboy of Dr. Jordan Peterson to understand why he enjoys such broad appeal. His refusal to bend the knee to the woke has some members of officialdom calling for Peterson's re-education. Their threats are really a warning to the rest of us.
