Republicans Will Never Solve Border Invasion Until Their Lobbyists Ditch Cheap Labor | 10/21/24
We have a very soft movement that is not willing to power through disruptions in order to pursue good policy. This is true across the board, but particularly on the issue of illegal immigration. I explain how illegal immigration would end overnight if Republicans were willing to go after labor brokers and actually enforce employment laws. The problem is that the Left, through an amalgamation of fiscal, cultural, and immigration policies, has created a self-fulfilling prophecy of Americans not wanting to do construction jobs. Republicans must be willing to power through a temporary disruption by removing illegal aliens, raising wages, and fixing our broken education and welfare incentives. Conservatives need to lead by example. No policy change will happen on its own, and the election will be moot if we don’t build a movement willing to message and implement through adversity.

Counterpoint: We Actually Have an Under-Feminization Problem (Among Women) | 10/17/24
The discussion challenges the notion that society suffers from excessive femininity, arguing instead that a lack of femininity among women is problematic. It critiques modern feminism's influence and its role in promoting masculine traits over nurturing qualities. The podcast navigates gender dynamics, exposing the dissatisfaction stemming from societal expectations and the evolution of gender roles. It emphasizes the cultural dangers of this imbalance and the importance of traditional femininity for both individual and societal health.

Why the Babylon Bee Is Actually the Most Important Outlet on the Right | 10/16/24
The FBI has now revised the crime statistics to reflect reality. I explain how Republicans have missed an entire decade of messaging and policy opportunities to win back suburban voters on the crime issue. Instead, they pushed jailbreak and bailed out Democrats from their own radical policies foisted upon them by their quixotically unreasonable base. Next, we’re joined by Seth Dillon, CEO of the Babylon Bee. He explains how the Bee is aiming not only to evoke laughter but also to powerfully use the weapon of satire to deconstruct the absurd prevailing narratives in politics and culture. We also discuss the concerns about the growing “woke Right,” which is becoming as mindless as the woke Left. He promises to continue illustrating that absurdity as well with some satirical pieces. Finally, we discuss his activism as a Floridian in fighting Amendment 4, which will kill thousands of babies. He might run a satire company, but he is actually being more effective than most conservatives who claim to be serious thought leaders. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Lifesaving Work of the Florida State Guard and the Need for Strong State Militias | 10/15/24
We begin today’s discussion by observing the budding of a national divorce in Western North Carolina. It’s become abundantly clear that the feds are not really interested in helping, nor are the people interested in accepting the help. We are headed toward red state self-sufficiency, and this effort will be led by veterans. To that end, we’re joined by retired Marine Colonel Mark Thieme, who is now executive director of the new Florida State Guard. He explains the need for the Guard and all of the lifesaving work they have done during natural disasters, as well as missions in North Carolina and at the Texas border. Unmoored from bureaucracy and from any federal control, Thieme is able to recruit talented people with the desire to serve and efficiently utilize their skills for maritime and aviation operations, reconnaissance, and search and rescue to augment the other state agencies. They are light and nimble to focus on the need of the hour. They have gotten so many recruits that they already had to turn away people. The Florida Guard has also been a landing place for veterans who left the service but still want to protect Americans without dealing with woke politics. Are state guards the wave of the future and also the ultimate fulfillment of our Founders’ vision of state-based militias? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Republicans Need a 'Day One' Plan to Deal with Inflation and Invasion | 10/14/24
As the election nears, the spotlight turns to inflation and immigration, two pressing issues that demand urgent attention. The speaker argues that current political promises could worsen these problems, with dire implications for the economy. There’s a call for realistic strategies to address demographic shifts, particularly in conservative areas facing rapid changes. The impact on local communities like Logansport is significant, with challenges in schools and services becoming more pronounced. A plan is crucial to ensure that red America doesn't transform into blue America.

The Truth About the Weather | 10/11/24
Joining the discussion are Joe Bastardi, a veteran meteorologist with deep expertise in weather forecasting, and Ron DeSantis, the Governor of Florida. They explore the natural patterns behind this active hurricane season, debunking the myth that human actions trigger these disasters. Bastardi emphasizes the importance of humility in understanding weather phenomena, while both guests criticize the politicization of natural events. They advocate for independent thought and a fact-based approach to climate change, urging clarity over sensationalism.

The Bloody Fight to Fully Repeal the Green New Deal | 10/10/24
It’s deja vu. Remember how Republicans promised to repeal Obamacare and then actually preserved it? Well, unless we mobilize against the Green New Deal now, Republicans will not repeal the heart of the green energy subsidies. I warn that the oil and gas industry is already lobbying to preserve the grift and only repeal the tax increases and some regulations. We go through the irrevocable harm that will flow from such a move, the proper strategy and messaging behind full repeal, and the need to pass a repeal bill through budget reconciliation as the first major agenda item. I also explain how we are suffering a stagflation and personal debt crisis, and nobody in the GOP seems to have a forward-looking plan on how to deal with it. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why Trump Must Act Immediately and Swiftly on Immigration | 10/9/24
Urgent action on immigration is vital as elections draw near. A call to prepare for both possible outcomes emphasizes immediate deportations and a moratorium if Trump wins. The discussion highlights the release of criminals and potential security threats under the current administration. It critiques Republican leadership's inaction while urging proactive strategies for political engagement. Labor exploitation in hiring practices and housing challenges add depth to the conversation, linking immigration policy to local living conditions and electoral impacts.

How the North Carolina Destruction Brought Out the Best in Private Charity | 10/8/24
First, we begin with the negative aspects of our government and the elements of the culture that they represent. I explain how the worship of virtue-signaling has acculturated too many people to narcissism rather than a true quest to help other people. On the other hand, what we are seeing in red America, led by military veterans, is truly the best of our people. We’re joined today for an on-the-ground status report by Dr. Mollie James, a critical care physician who is working on medical triage in the mountains. With her is Dan Nunez, a military veteran and local resident who is coordinating the search and rescue efforts from the Avery County airport. He paints a vivid picture of the dire human needs in the remote mountains but also the superb unity among the veteran organizations that are pooling together their talents to navigate this living hell. They make it clear that they have barely seen a federal presence in the remote areas and that frankly, they feel the private organizations will do a better job.

Imagine if Every Red-State Governor Were Like DeSantis | 10/7/24
DeSantis has been confronted with so many crises, yet he is tackling each one plus helping other states. Today, I explain how DeSantis is like the "Chuck Norris of governors" and what we can learn from his style of leadership. I also juxtapose what he has done in Florida with what the feds have done in Western North Carolina and build the case for us to create our own civilian civil defense organizations through the sheriff’s departments of each conservative county. We are living under a broken social compact, but the aftermath of this crisis has shown us a path forward to rebuilding our own compact. Finally, I commemorate October 7 and derive three critical lessons for America based on Israel’s experience with Islamic barbarism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
