In this special edition of Straight Shooter, Stephen A. tackles the massive surge of Independent voters heading into the midterm elections, where all 435 seats in the House and 33 seats in the Senate are up for grabs. Stephen A. breaks down why Matthew McConaughey is absolutely right about independent votes not being wasted, despite what the establishment wants you to think. We also dive into Hillary Clinton's pushback on independent candidates, and Mark Cuban's blunt assertion that both major political parties are failing the American people.
From the ethical disasters surrounding Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to the ongoing hypocrisy and political posturing from both Democrats and Republicans, no one is spared.

SpaceX is going to war with Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, and your phone bill sits in the middle of it. In this video I explain how SpaceX plans to become a US mobile carrier using Starlink satellites, its own rockets, and new spectrum from EchoStar (AWS-4, H-block and AWS-3) plus 800 MHz spectrum from Grain Management.

I cover the FCC fight with T-Mobile over satellite rules, whether direct to cell service will work indoors on the phone you already own, and why building your own satellites and launching them on your own rockets gives SpaceX a massive cost advantage over the telecom carriers.

Then I get into Starship: Flight 14 deploying 26 V3 Starlink satellites, full reusability, the PEZ dispenser, and how weekly launches could keep pushing down the cost of every terabit of capacity. Finally I look at the 2028 carrier timeline and why AI agents and superintelligence will need far more bandwidth than phone plans alone.

There is a gun sitting under the Apache's nose and it has barely changed in 40 years but in 2026 it became the most important weapon on the aircraft. This is the M230: a single-barrel, 30-millimeter chain gun that runs on a 3-horsepower electric motor, it fires about 10 rounds a second, and points right wherever the pilot's eyes are looking. Despite what some people might tell you, It is not a Gatling gun, it isn't a new gun at all. It's a new round the XM1225 APEX, a proximity-fuzed 30-millimeter shell that senses a drone as it passes and bursts beside it, turning a near miss into an extermination without changing a single part of the gun that fires it.
In this video, we go inside the Apache's weapon system from this gun outward: how a chain gun actually works, why it can’t jam and how they managed to get a helmet monocle to aim a cannon, the drone shoot-downs over the Gulf that proved the old gun could fight a new war. We will talk about its limitations and what the Apache does when it needs more than what this new upgrade can provide.
