Description:

Hey everyone, Chris McIntyre here from Almost Above Average. In this solo episode, I react in real time to the Project 2025 Tracker—a new, nonpartisan site exposing what’s actually being implemented from the GOP’s controversial playbook. From changes at the CDC and HHS to immigration crackdowns and energy rollbacks, I break down what’s completed, what’s next, and what it means for everyday Americans.

I’m not just reading headlines—I’m digging into the source documents and sharing my honest reactions as a working-class dad and concerned citizen. If you care about democracy, transparency, and the future of our country, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

In this episode, Christopher McIntyre and Jonathan Travis cut through the noise to expose what’s really happening in America right now. From the Senate’s latest bill funneling billions to the wealthy while shredding the safety net, to the relentless erosion of voting rights and the dangerous echoes of history repeating itself, nothing is off limits. We break down how technology and big money are hijacking politics, why traditional conservatism is dead, and how trust in leaders is at an all-time low. If you’re worried about the future of democracy, citizenship, and what it means to resist in 2025, this is the conversation you can’t afford to miss.

In this episode of Almost Above Average, Christopher McIntyre and Jonathan Travis break down the latest Supreme Court rulings and what they mean for the balance of power in Washington. The conversation ranges from the chaos of U.S. immigration policy and the muted voices of athletes on social issues, to the global perception of Trump’s leadership and the deep divisions within the MAGA movement. They tackle the tangled web of trade deals with China and Canada, rising government surveillance, and looming threats to healthcare and social security. With the political landscape shifting under our feet, Chris and Jonathan ask: Where is American governance headed—and who will lead the way?

In this episode of Almost Above Average, Chris McIntyre unpacks Anthony Christian’s provocative article on engaging the white male vote through narrative warfare. Chris argues that the Democratic Party’s failure to understand and respect non-college educated white men has created deep resentment—resentment that’s about dignity, not just dollars. The discussion dives into why political messaging so often misses the mark, how campaigns can better acknowledge the contributions of working-class Americans, and why emotional resonance and coordinated storytelling are essential for victory. Chris calls for a more aggressive, empathetic approach to political strategy, warning that without urgent action and a shift in narrative, the DNC risks losing touch with a critical segment of the electorate. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the real drivers of political loyalty and division in America today.

In this unfiltered solo episode of the Almost Above Average Podcast, Chris McIntyre dives deep into the chaos and cruelty of America’s current deportation policies. Drawing from daily news, personal experience as a business owner, and firsthand stories, Chris exposes how ICE raids—often conducted with masks, automatic weapons, and little accountability—are terrorizing communities and disproportionately targeting people of color. He challenges the logic behind labeling undocumented immigrants as “criminals,” highlights the economic and human costs of mass deportations, and calls out the hypocrisy and racism embedded in the system. Chris also discusses how these policies are impacting American businesses, families, and mental health, and asks the tough question: How are we okay with this as a nation?
