Episode 207 - April 5, 2025 - In Episode 207, Dave starts the show by providing some international updates from the EU, UK, Argentina and the WEF.

Dave pivots to related topics associated with judge shopping and the continued lawfare pitted against the administration, DOGE potentially looking at politicians that are ‘strangely wealthy’, and the tech wizards restoring one terabyte of deleted financial data showing fiscal support or the Taliban and Iraqi leadership.
