100TH EPISODE! ----- In the summer of 2013, George Zimmerman went on trial in Florida for the alleged murder of teen Trayvon Martin, a key moment in the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement. But while many still believe Martin to be an innocent victim of a racist vigilante, the trial revealed another side of the story that the media ignored: a troubled youth who had been expelled for breaking the law and had a violent personality, who multiple witnesses say brutally assaulted Zimmerman before the gun was fired. Zimmerman was ultimately acquitted, but even today he is seen by some as a murderer who escaped justice, despite the evidence to the contrary. Andrew Branca from The Law of Self-Defense joins the program to analyze the trial on its 10th anniversary, and try to dispel some of the misconceptions that still circle the case. ***** TOP STORIES Leaked Video Shows D.C.

What exactly is wrong with being a man? If some sectors of our modern culture were honest with their beliefs, they'd say "everything." In her new book, The Toxic War on Masculinity - How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes, Professor Nancy R. Pearcey explores and examines why secular society has come to regard traditional masculine qualities as evil, and why faith -- especially Christian faith -- has led to happier couples and more satisfying relationships despite claims that such beliefs are oppressive, misogynist, and harmful. Prof. Pearcey joins the program to share some of the documented research that strongly suggests that relationships featuring traditional gender roles are happier, longer-lasting, and healthier.

Jake Lang took part in the riot on the US Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021. Of that, there is no doubt. But now, over two and a half years later, Lang continues to languish in a federal penitentiary, awaiting trial at an unknown future date for his role in the fiasco, charged with an obscure crime that few have heard of. He claims he is being transferred repeatedly between facilities -- a technique referred to as "diesel therapy" -- to restrict his access to his attorneys. He accuses Capitol Police of being responsible for the death of a woman suffocated by the crowd that day. He calls himself a patriot. Is he a martyr, a madman, or a menace? You decide. ***** TOP STORIES West Coast, Messed Coast™: Will the Woke Go Broke Again? The L.A. Dodgers Vow to Find Out.

Author & documentarian Vince Everett Ellison grew up the child of sharecroppers on a cotton plantation in Tennessee, but his father worked hard to build a successful businesses that brought his family out of poverty and squarely into the middle class. He sees now in Black Americans a worrying lack of that same initiative, and he suspects a number of factors are responsible: A lack of religious faith. Promotion of gratuitous sex and violence as a cultural lifestyle. But, most of all, a wider plot among the progressive left to promote the notion that institutional racism is an inescapable fact of life, and to make Black Americans see themselves as eternal victims. Ellison shares his point of view with Victoria in this episode, and how through a return to faith, family-values and self-reliance the Black community can ascend to respectful prosperity, an argument that is sometimes controversial, often inspirational, and always thought-provoking.

In school systems across the country, parents are fighting an uphill battle against local governments over the curriculum being delivered to their kids, from political indoctrination and activist training in-class to sexually-charged and age-inappropriate reading material. Our schools have become infested with violence and even sexual assault. Exceptional students have had recognition of their achievements withheld in the name of preserving others' feelings. And when they have objected, parents have been dubbed "domestic terrorists" by members of federal agencies, and even subjected to arrest. Ian Prior is a senior advisor at America First Legal and the author of the book Parents of the World, Unite!: How to Save Our Schools from the Left's Radical Agenda. He joins this episode to discuss all the issues facing parents of students today, and the best ways to push back against a system that insists it knows how to take care of your kids better than you do.

Author & former federal prosecutor John D. O'Connor joins the program to look back on a crucial moment in the history of governmental corruption and law enforcement, the Watergate scandal. O'Connor befriended & represented Mark Felt, the FBI associate director better known as the legendary whistleblower "Deep Throat," a revelation that O'Connor helped to reveal through a blockbuster article in Vanity Fair. O'Connor has authored two recent books on the scandal, and draws parallels between the FBI & press during that time and their modern successors. He discusses how he first came to know Mark Felt and how he convinced Felt to come clean about his role in Woodward & Bernstein's reports. He also addresses the connections between the Democratic party & current White House and Russian interests that led to the infamous and widely-discredited "Pee Tape" dossier, why China is an existential threat to US sovereignty, and why corruption in the executive branch proves that the DOJ, FBI & media have learned nothing from the mistakes of Watergate.
