Trump is showing his strongman bully tactics even though he doesn’t officially have the GOP nomination. From threatening to ban from MAGA land anyone who donates money to Nikki Haley’s campaign to killing potential border deals, he’s pulling strings all over the place. Michael Shure will be along to talk about the issues of the day and tell us what he’s seeing on the campaign trail. Friday ushers in another glorious sampling of life in idyllic Florida. John Daly joins in the fun. Culture Blaster Michael Snyder rides his rainbow in to close out the show with a look at the latest movies like American Star, what’s hot on tv and no doubt - he’s got something to say about the 49ers!

Trump didn’t do well enough. That’s the gist of comments made by a Fox News political analyst. Trump has a problem attracting moderate Republicans and Independents and it showed in New Hampshire. It’s indicative of why Trump will likely lose in the general election. Former federal prosecutor David Katz will stop by to talk about an Alabama execution case - first ever to use nitrogen gas. We’ll ask him about A Maryland appeals court tossing out the murder conviction of the former US intelligence director's daughter and he will go over the latest abortion case pending before the Supreme Court.

President Biden won the New Hampshire Primary despite not being on the ballot. Biden supporters just wrote his name down. On the Republican side, you’d think after winning the New Hampshire primary, Trump would have been in a better mood, but during his victory speech, he called Nikki, Haley an imposter, and said he would get even with her. He was angry and full of threats. The current trajectory seems to point to a repeat of the last presidential election pitting Biden against Trump once again. We will cover it all with Presidential historian and political a Presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann. We resurrect Televangelist Theater with a hell of a story!

Politico hosted the California senatorial debate last evening. The candidates vying to fill the late Senator Dianne Feinstein’s seat appeared on stage for the event. It was clear that Republican Steve Garvey was not ready for prime time compared to Democrats Adam Schiff, Katie Porter, and Barbara Lee. We will discuss! New Hampshire voters have two Republicans to choose from with just Trump and Haley left standing in the race for the Republican nomination. President Joe Biden’s name is not on the ballot because of a dispute with the Democratic National Committee about the timing of this primary. We welcome our Pulitzer Prize winning author David Cay Johnston to discuss this and more. Jefferson Graham will stop by the show to talk some tech too.

Mark breaks down the DeSantis collapse...Early GOP presidential polls showed Ron DeSantis with a lead over Donald Trump. The tables quickly turned and despite having money and momentum just months ago, Ron DeSantis called it quits over the weekend and threw his support to Donald Trump. DeSantis has blamed all the court cases against Trump for motivating Republicans to support the former president. Is that it? Or did something else cause the spectacular collapse of Ron DeSantis?Now, it’s Nikki Haley standing alone to face Trump this week in the New Hampshire primary. When asked over the weekend whether President Biden and Trump are equally bad, Haley referenced investigations into both and talked about how we don’t need 80-year-olds in the White House.Monday brings us True Crime Corner. Courtney will stop by the studio to share this week’s case! We like to spend a few minutes a week giving love to the animals. Karen Dawn of Dawn Watch will join us.

The Patriot Freedom Project is being called into question by Congressional Democrats. They have concerns about this nonprofit group that gives financial support to defendants charged in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. At issue: whether the Freedom Project’s apparent support for Donald Trump's presidential campaign may violate federal tax law. The judge overseeing Trump’s federal criminal elections interference trial is suggesting that a delay of weeks or even months in the trial is possible. That’s because all the trial dates she set are still on pause as Trump’s attempt to get the case dismissed is pending before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Journalist and political analyst Michael Shure will stop by to talk about all of it. Plus, we’ll get his take on what happened in Iowa and the upcoming New Hampshire primaries. Friday Fabulous Florida is upon us once more. Albert is busy finding the best stories out of Florida this week. It never disappoints! Former fabulous producer John Daly joins. From movies to TV to sports, the Culture Blaster brings it all. Michael Snyder wraps up the show with a ding word heavy entertainment report that’ll blow your socks off.

Much like the Biden impeachment inquiry, Donald Trump is also pulling the strings when it comes to a deal to secure the border between the United States and Mexico. It appears that Republicans are working directly with Trump to sabotage efforts to secure the border. Trump is belligerent in court and nearly gets kicked out for having a big mouth and no filter. The Supreme Court is considering how No much power Federal Agencies should legally have. ...and how young is too young to be tried as an adult? Mark and former federal prosecutor David Katz go in depth on these topics. We get our Thursday helping of “It’s the Planet Stupid” with Belinda Waymouth. We’ll consider the state of our environment. Mark pops in and out today as Kim reclaims the Captain’ Chair.

We’ll talk about Trump’s win in Iowa, how many Republicans didn’t vote and why he will have to change his approach going forward. The football game crushed the caucus on Monday night. It seems just like a lack of voters, there was also a general lack of interest overall. About 28.6 million viewers watched the the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thump the Philadelphia Eagles 32-9. Compare that to viewership of the coverage of the Iowa caucuses with around 4.67 million viewers across the major networks. It’s roughly half the viewership the caucuses attracted in 2020. A new election error was just reported from the 2020 presidential election in the state of Virginia. It’s not exactly what Trump wants to hear. We welcome Presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann to talk politics. Author and San Francisco Police Sergeant Adam Plantinga will join us to talk about his new book. It’s a thriller that’s getting great reviews called, “The Ascent.” For years, he has been helping other crime novelists bring factual relevancy to their novels, and now we are excited to help Plantinga share his own debut novel.
