Ep 457: Dan Hollaway - Patriotism & Paid Protesters
This one’s not for the weak-willed or the Twitter-triggered. We sat down with Dan Hollaway—co-host of Drinkin’ Bros, host of Citizen podcast, and certified “I’ll die on this hill (and you might too)” patriot—for a gut-punching, no-sugar-coating talk about the death of nuance, America’s dumbest political trends, and why your Tesla-hating barista might actually be on Beijing’s payroll.
We go full send on:
- Tax policy idiocy
- Useful idiots from both sides
- America’s unique actually earned greatness
- NASA, innovation, and how memory foam > Marx
- China’s paper tiger meltdown
- And how our younger generation might just be the salvation we didn’t deserve
It's raw. It’s aggressive. It’s about time someone said this out loud.
Also: If you're not willing to kill on your hill, why are you even talking?
🔥 Key Takeaways:
- “We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training” applies to life, politics, and why college sophomores shouldn’t lecture Warren Buffett.
- America didn’t become great by being “nice.” It became great by creating, innovating, and steamrolling fascism—and it still is.
- If you think tribalism makes you principled, spoiler alert: you're just lazy.
- NASA is one of the only good government programs (shoutout to memory foam, CT scans, and space lasers).
- Paid protesters are real. They clock out at 4pm.
- Don’t confuse having “opinions” with having “principles.”
- You’re not oppressed if you can complain about the government on a podcast with zero consequence.
- China’s collapsing, and TikTok ain’t saving them.
- Patriotism doesn’t mean nostalgia—it means responsibility.
- Want to fix the country? Start by holding the people you vote for accountable, regardless of party.
