World Brief with Zach McCormickWorld Brief with Zach McCormickExtradited 4 Free Speech?Send us a textIf you’re in the US, could you be arrested for violating a foreign country’s online speech laws?Yes at least in theory. Through a process called extradition, a foreign country (like the UK for example), could decide that you’ve violated their new “Online Safety Act”  (OSA), and have you arrested in the US.  What’s more, under the terms of the treaty, the UK could have your assets seized too. Fortunately, the chance of this happening is still pretty low but with the passage of laws like the OSA an...2025-07-2801 minMy Morning CupMy Morning CupE133 - Zach Wamp’s Morning CupZach Wamp didn’t just serve eight terms in Congress, he also helped spark a legacy of leadership in his own family.

For the most part, the current system — which revolves around 30 year mortgages —  was created by central banks to conceal their inflationary policies and make property seem affordable — the old “who cares what the price is if the payments are low?” trick (a ploy that may be familiar to anyone who has shopped at an auto dealership).  Sure there have been 'shiny baubles' that have distracted us for the last century and probably made many of us think...2025-07-2201 minPost-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and morePost-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and moreSteelers training camp: Are Payton Wilson, Roman Wilson & Mason McCormick top breakout candidates?On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to draft 2025 breakout candidates ahead of training camp next week at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe.

How Restaurant Traffic Can Predict Global ConflictSend us a textCan wait times at pizza restaurants predict war?Yes but only in certain locations and at certain times of the day. For example a popular account on X called the “Pentagon Pizza Report” follows real-time customer traffic numbers at the restaurants around the Pentagon (the “nerve center” for the American military) and these numbers seem to correlate to heightened states of military activity at those nearby government installations. The theory is that, when crisis arise, the military personnel get called in to their offices at the Pentagon, usually at...2025-06-1801 minWorld Brief with Zach McCormickWorld Brief with Zach McCormickRiot Incorporated: Who's Making Money Off Riots?Send us a text “Professional agitators” definitely get paid for stirring up trouble but it’s not clear who’s actually paying THEM. Following apparent top-level security briefings on the subject, President Trump branded the 2025 LA Anti-ICE riots as being fueled by “agitators”. While some dismissed these claims, they appear to have been corroborated by LAPD Chief of Police Jim McDonnell in a press interview where he acknowledged that there are people in the crowd “who do this all the time”.

Big time. The crypto clearinghouse Coinbase just published an ad attacking the Federal Reserves policy of “printing” money while touting the benefit of Bitcoin (which has a set number of units). It’s unclear what prompted this attack on the US central bank but it’s mostly accurate and it showed in graphic detail just how much money the Fed actually “creates” at the click of a button. Of course the Fed doesn’t actually “print” cash - that’s the treasury’s...2025-05-0600 minWorld Brief with Zach McCormickWorld Brief with Zach McCormickDebt JubileeSend us a textDebt Jubilee What if ALL debts were forgiven and everyone just  started over?It sounds crazy but it’s actually been done before - a lot - every 50 years in some cases.

So-called “gene edited” (GE) foods don’t have to be labeled in more than 20 countries including the US, UK, Canada, Japan and Australia and that means, you could’ve eaten GE products without realizing. But is that really a bad thing?
