Old Enough to Know Better
Wisdom earned. Sarcasm sharpened. And no topic too sacred.
From the front lines of disaster zones to the shadows of homeland security briefings, Old Enough to Know Better is not your average podcast. Hosted by longtime responder, threat analyst, author, and proud curmudgeon E.G. Weiss, this show dives headfirst into the world of emergency response, law enforcement, and national security with the unapologetic voice of someone who’s been there, done that, and probably wrote the field guide afterward.

From Defense to War: America’s Return to Real Leadership
In this episode of Old Enough to Know Better, our host dives into the history behind Trump’s decision to rename the Department of Defense back to the Department of War. From its founding in 1789 through World War II, America called its military what it was… war. Only in 1947 did we soften the language to “defense,” and with it came a culture of reactivity that has left us on our heels for decades. We’ll explore how words shape psychology, why renaming matters, and why liberals are losing their minds over the change. We’ll also talk recruiting surges, the left’s “warlord” hysteria, and why stopping threats at the source like Venezuela, Colombia, and beyond is smarter than waiting until chaos shows up in our living rooms. Buckle up. This one is historical, educational, and unapologetically blunt.
