Episode 7: America's Teenage Phase, Bronny James, and Everything in Between

What do North Korea, LeBron James’ son, and a TikTok harpoon rocket have in common? No, it’s not the setup for a bad joke—it’s this week’s episode of Independently Observant! We’re diving headfirst into the global chaos, questionable electric vehicle policies, and somehow ending up at a discussion about crab-walking Hummers. If you’re not intrigued yet, Colin is ready to make you laugh, and Bruce is prepared to blow your mind with observations you didn’t even know you needed.

🔥 Episode Highlights:

• [00:02:36] – North Korea troops head to Russia. Are we staring down the barrel of World War III?
• [00:08:30] – Quantum investing and the secret race to dethrone the U.S. dollar—Bruce has some thoughts.
• [00:16:40] – Electric cars are cool, but are Biden’s EV policies pushing too hard too fast? Spoiler: Colin really hates mandates.
• [00:26:51] – Can America regain control of its oil and pharmaceutical industries? Or are we outsourcing our future?
• [00:38:13] – The heartbreaking case of Robert Roberson and how outdated medical science almost cost a man his life.
• [00:48:47] – A pedophile’s despicable actions lead to tragedy in West Virginia—why parents, kids, and apps need more safeguards.
