Crime is running rampant across the nation. Why? Democrats’ soft on crime policies are to blame. Even murderers are being released back onto our streets. For example in Texas, between September 2016 and September 2021, 133 capital murder suspects were bonded out of jail in Harris County alone. While crime trends are often very localized, there are some national trends as well that have unfolded recently. To help examine these trends, we are joined by an expert on criminal justice, Josh Crawford from the Pegasus Institute.

Rep. Garret Graves joins me to discuss an important pillar of the Republicans Energy, Climate, and Conservation task force: how to compete with China and Russia on energy production.

Many Americans have been convinced by radical environmentalists that fossil fuels are bad, if not inherently evil, and that supporting oil and gas is equivalent to supporting the environmental destruction of our planet.

Author and social critic Os Guinness joins us to talk about the great, and the terrible, revolutions throughout human history.
