The Blindspot

Trumps Triumph: Iran, Nato, and Democratic Political Blunders

Today on The Blindspot, Jay breaks down the most consequential foreign policy moment of Trump’s second term: the strikes on Iran’s nuclear program and the fragile ceasefire that followed. With brutal clarity and zero partisan fluff, he walks through how Trump’s bunker-busting offensive flipped the script on years of Iran diplomacy—and why Iran blinked. Jay argues this wasn’t just military success, but political theater that worked. He calls out Democrats for their incoherent, cynical response and urges them to stop reacting like stunned deer in the headlights. If you want raw analysis of how foreign policy, media narratives, and political cowardice collide—you’re in the right place.

The Hardest Thing We Had To Do, We Just Did

Today on The Blind Spot, Jason Polaski rips the lid off Saturday night’s U-S bunker-buster strike on three Iranian nuclear sites—tracking the fallout from Natanz to Wall Street—then unloads on the pundit circus spinning it. In one breath he explains why the hit slams Tehran’s bomb quest into reverse; in the next he skewers late-night liberals who cried “World War III,” MAGA isolationists who’d shrug at a massacre if gas stayed cheap, and media hot-takes that flipped overnight from “Trump will dither” to “He moved too fast.” Along the way he crunches oil-price math, mocks “TikTok geopolitics,” stages a savage phone call with a progressive friend, and lays out the best-case (no wider war, no nukes) versus the nightmare scenario—all in a profanity-laced, data-driven monologue that ends with an unfiltered “good job, Mr. President.” Hit play if you want to hear every moving part—and every hypocrisy—laid bare.

Should the United States go to War with Iran?

Today on The Blindspot, I break down the rapidly escalating conflict between Israel and Iran—and the rising possibility of direct U.S. involvement. With Israeli airstrikes pounding nuclear sites and Iran firing missiles at civilian targets, America stands at a crossroads. Should we join the fight, sit it out, or chart a third path that reshapes the region? The question isn't just what we can do—but what we should.

Empire of AI: a Book Review

On today's episode of the Blindspot, I spent two hours reviewing Caren Hao's book Empire of AI. Enjoy.

There'll be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight

On today’s episode of The Blindspot, I dive into the protests erupting in Los Angeles—how they sparked, how they escalated into full-blown riots, and what the Trump administration did in response, including the deployment of federal troops. I break down California’s reaction, Gavin Newsom’s posture, and how the nation is processing—or failing to process—what’s happening on the ground. This isn’t just about LA; it’s about the collision of immigration politics, federal authority, and the American street. Buckle up—this one’s loud.

Extensive thoughts on the Biden Coverup

Joe Biden's inner circle purposefully hid his age related cognitive decline from the American people and especially the Democratic party. And I use this episode to explain why that was wrong on every level. Enjoy.

Teeth On The Floor

Jay sets out to roast Beijing but derails into a blistering autopsy of his own party. What starts as a brief nod to Joe Biden’s new cancer diagnosis detonates into a rant on the age issue Democrats pretended wasn’t there—right up until the 2024 debate meltdown proved every “he’s fine” whisper a lie. From Biden’s mixed record to DEI crack-ups and the trans-athlete backlash, Jay shreds the echo-chamber reflex that tells voters they’re bigots instead of listening to their opinions and concerns. He even torches the DNC’s latest genius move—handing David Hogg \$20 million to knife safe-seat Democrats. Bottom line: cowardice and brand rot, not GOP memes, are killing the left in the most perilous moment since the Civil War. Buckle up for a no-filter, fact-laced reckoning—and decide whether the blue team still deserves your trust

Here I Am to Convince You

Near-miss nuclear showdown in South Asia, drone-packed chaos in the Red Sea, Gaza spiraling toward famine, and a president you love to hate unexpectedly chalking up foreign-policy points—this episode of The Blind Spot connects the dots you didn’t know were on the same page. I break down how a single VP sound-bite can spike global risk, why Europe’s token air-strikes won’t keep your shipping costs down, and what it really means to tiptoe across a “rickety rope bridge” of democracy for the next four years. Expect sharp analysis, hard-won context, and enough rhetorical shrapnel to leave every partisan bubble leaking air—hit play and let’s get uncomfortably informed.

John Parker Belasko

On this episode of The Blindspot, Jay dives back into the world of large language models—what they can do now, and where they’re headed. He breaks down how the chatbots you’re probably using are already smart enough to walk you through building a boat, and why the cutting-edge models are operating on a whole different level—reasoning through frontier science, math, even leukemia research. Jay wrestles with being a humanities guy in an age of machine-driven breakthroughs, then walks us through how he used OpenAI’s latest model to outline a nine-book series starring a character named John Parker Belasko. He ends with a blunt truth: today’s models are the worst they'll ever be. The future? It’s all about how many tokens it’ll cost to solve your next big problem. Enjoy

The Ramble and the Gamble

On today's episode of The Blindspot, I start by talking about the death of Pope Francis, and then note that Presidents Trump and Zelenski met at St. Peter’s Basilica before the funeral, which leads me into a broader conversation about Zelenski’s fashion choices and the state of the Russia-Ukraine war. From there, I get into the American economy after a series of highly unorthodox moves by Trump, and how he's placed a massive bet that will rise or fall on economic results. I point out how Trump's actions on both Ukraine and the economy don’t even make sense by the standards of their own stated logic. Then I move into how the Democrats are bungling their messaging around Kilmar Garcia, before closing with a brief lament about the Israel-Gaza situation. Enjoy!
