Getting it Right - Rick Wagner

AI, State Power, and Political Drift

Rick covers a wide range of issues, from the push to end daylight savings time to the growing role of artificial intelligence in research. He warns that AI can fall into a “Family Feud” problem—prioritizing consensus over truth. Rick also examines Colorado’s regulatory climate and why businesses are leaving for states like Texas and Florida. The episode closes with concerns over political pressure on sheriffs and a briefing on rising tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran

Rick Wagner breaks down the week’s key flashpoints—from rising pressure around Iran and the stalemate in Ukraine to a maritime confrontation near Cuba. At home, allegations of Medicaid fraud in Minnesota and the continuing fallout from U.K. grooming scandals raise deeper questions about accountability. Rick argues these events point to a broader problem: institutions losing strategic clarity while transparency declines. When enforcement becomes politicized and equal protection erodes, public trust begins to fracture.

The discussion explores how radical causes provide moral certainty and emotional release, allowing destructive behavior to be reframed as virtue and personal failure to be reassigned to a hated external enemy. Belonging, not belief, becomes the real currency. Hatred functions as social glue, binding participants together while absolving them of responsibility for their own dissatisfaction.

People in power have no issue discussing and making decisions on topics they no nothing about. Let's take technology and National security. 

The justice system is failing us. Criminals are walking free because of failed ideology. Repeat offenders are walking free all the time.

Let's talk about the Department of Education - why would more funding help? 

1% of the population of New York pays 40% of the taxes. You don't want that 1% moving!

Some of the challenges our country has faced have been ugly. This is still a great country. No society is perfect. If the U.S is so bad, why are people fighting to be here?
