It’s no surprise that President Donald Trump has made the United States less safe. But the man who bankrupted his own casinos is now gambling away America’s influence around the world as even our allies do not trust that we will protect them from a nuclear attack.

Truth in the Barrel Unfiltered Episode: April 6, 2025
Welcome to Truth in the Barrel unfiltered! Each week hosts Amy McGrath and Denver Riggleman select stories from the news to shine a spotlight on and discuss with wisdom, wit, (and a bit of whiskey).
On this week’s episode Amy and Denver talk about the Right’s animosity toward due process, especially when it comes to deportations, the continued fallout from SignalGate, the insanity of Laura Loomer which can only be outdone by the insanity of taking advice from Laura Loomer, Texas Congressman Keith Self’s attempt to make Joseph Goebbels great again, and the pain that will come from President Trump’s wildly unpopular new tariffs.
But here at Truth in the Barrel we know it can’t be all doom and gloom, so the episode ends with Amy and Denver saying cheers to some of the small victories of the week.
01:44 Due Process 08:58 Andry Hernandez 14:36 Signalgate 23:15 Laura Loomer 29:30 Paging Mr. Goebbels 36:10 Why Tariffs Are Gonna Hurt 40:33 Cheers To Small Victories
