What Actually Needs to Be Done with the FBI | 7/25/23
Every conservative complains about the weaponization of the FBI, but seven months into GOP control of the House, what has come of all of these hearings? We’re joined today by FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, a 12-year FBI veteran who quit his job to warn about the political targeting. Friend fears that GOP House members are more concerned about sound bites and fundraising than about actually dealing with the problem. He perfectly identified the problem with the FBI quota system, career bureaucrats, and the culture at the agency. Friend also has a plan to defund the specific policies and offices that are most harmful. He believes that FBI agents need to be disarmed and just serve as an investigatory backstop to local law enforcement. He is also calling on red states to create sanctuaries for civil liberties by refusing to work on task forces with local FBI offices that violate civil rights. Learn more about your ad choices.

How to Create a Free Market When None Exists | 7/24/23
We are stuck with the following quandary: We believe in free markets, but we don’t have one. So if we merely hold back from using government power when we assume office, we will preserve the current anti-market monopolies. On the other hand, we can’t have unbridled populism, which invariably lands in the same despotic place. Today, I offer a vision on how to rebalance the economy toward small businesses over the large Big Tech monopolies. I show how the economy was remade by COVID fascism and how we need a moratorium on taxation for small businesses to reorient our economy. At the end, I discuss the terror attack in Fargo nobody is reporting on and how there is a growing Islamic transformation even of small-town USA. Finally, we discuss the Israeli judicial reform fight and why we should care. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How Right-Leaning Politicos Negate Their Own Interests | 7/21/23
On today’s free-for-all Friday, we cover numerous topics – from the RINO House betraying us to crime, anarcho-tyranny, and the courts. I explain how we have not moved the needle one inch in getting federal and state Republicans to comport with the views of the base. Also, I explain why the conservatives' newfound love for judicial supremacy is dumb and why the courts will never work for us. Also, I offer my latest thoughts on the presidential election. My concern is not Trump winning, but that people now believe Trump is God and DeSantis may as well be Mitt Romney. This is going to negate our ability to make red states red because we will continue to elevate the candidates with the most support from an unserious movement rather than those actually putting points on the board.

We Have the Power to Change Red-State America for the Good | 7/20/23
I’m sick of the excuses. Today, I offer a detailed update on the fight for landowners in South Dakota facing eminent domain from green energy companies backed by state Republicans. I explain how Kristi Noem is playing the classic double game of sweet-talking the base while ensuring the policy outcomes are in accordance with the wishes of the special interests. Republicans are able to do this because we have an unfocused and unprincipled conservative media industry. I also offer a legislative update on congressional affairs to show how a lack of pressure campaigns on GOP leaders has led to the failure of many of our initiatives. Finally, we delve into some of the latest news on the presidential primary. Trump is endorsing the worst RINOs for Senate, and his supporters refuse to prod him to the right.

They Are Coming for Your Wealth and Your Children | 7/19/23
They really don’t want you to have children and prosper as a family. First, we sift through the latest economic data and indicators to show how families have no ability to afford housing and vital living. Recession and stagflation are around the corner, and this is all a legacy of the COVID economic policies. Next, we’re joined by civil rights attorney Brian Fest of We the Patriots USA who warns that even if you can afford a family, the government is making it easier to take away your kids. He details the latest case of medical kidnapping where red-state Missouri government officials have taken away four kids from Amanda and Paul Guidry for using a treatment for autism the medical profession dislikes. There is no evidence of any harm to the child, nor is the government alleging it, yet officials were able to remove the kids without any due process. Brian and I explore legislative ideas to deter frivolous child protective cases and infuse more due process into this process.

Grifting vs. Governance | 7/18/23
The choice is simple. Today, I explain the choice we have in front of us. We can grift by making money complaining about the Left while lacking any ideological core to pursue an affirmatively righteous agenda, or we can craft the best messaging, policies, and strategies to actually implement the ideas we say we believe in. I explain exactly how this would work with the upcoming budget fight and how it should be used to defund the Trump prosecutions rather than simply promoting Trump for president. The truth is that so-called conservative media figures have no ideological core, which is why they ignore opportunities to govern effectively and instead latch onto any shiny object promoted by the grift gristmill.

Conservative Media Is Morally Bankrupt | 7/17/23
Today, I let you know what I really think about the state of conservative media. Weaving in the events of the weekend regarding the presidential election, I demonstrate how the top names like Tucker Carlson will negate the very values they claim to espouse in order to remain in the good graces of "clickservatism." No other political movement is so subversive and self-defeating to its own stated goals. This is not about Trump or DeSantis but a reflection of a broader problem we’ve been facing for years, and it’s only getting worse. We have no movement with fixed principles and a strategy, focus, direction, or even desire to achieve particular outcomes. We have an industry of groupies who suffer from a deficit of values, intellect, and initiative and therefore will subvert their own stated objectives with the latest flavor of the day. We are told who and what should be promoted and who and what should be ignored, a determination based on grift and groupthink, not objective truths. Learn more about your ad choices.

How Lifesaving Cancer Care Is Being Covered Up by Government and Pharma | Guest: Dr. Paul Marik | 7/14/23
On today’s special show, we are joined by Dr. Paul Marik, co-founder and chief scientific officer of Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, for a riveting and lifesaving presentation on how to prevent and treat cancer. He believes we are being lied to about cancer treatment the same way we were about COVID. He is now putting his life into cancer research and is showing how our entire approach to cancer ignores the reality that it is a metabolic disorder. He believes that a mix of metabolic health changes mixed with a number of broad-spectrum repurposed drugs can accomplish more than traditional treatments and cause much less pain to the human body. I also briefly discuss Biden’s latest insanity on Ukraine and how Republicans continue to ignore the suicidal collision with Russia. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity to Crush Identity Politics | Guest: Rob Steinbuch | 7/13/23
We live in a brainwashed society that is post-biblical and post-constitutional. Nonetheless, we are winning on the issues of gender ideology and racial affirmative action. Today, I discuss the fact that we have a unique opportunity to erase gender ideology completely, but that requires moving beyond fairness in female sports and focusing on uprooting the entire premise of gender ideology. Next, we are joined by University of Arkansas law professor Rob Steinbuch, who explains how affirmative action actually harms black students and sets them up for failure. He agrees with our contention that the court ruling in the Harvard case will not end affirmative action on its own. That is why he is pushing legislation in Arkansas to end affirmative action in education and hiring. He warns that red states continue to promote racial preferences even in the public sector. Steinbuch also makes the case for why conservatives should embrace equal application of the Civil Rights Act and target anti-white discrimination even in the private sector.

NDAA and Budget Bills Are the Two Most Important Leverage Points | 7/12/23
If we really believe our civilization is in existential crisis, we have an obligation to act and use concrete leverage points to enact the agenda we claim to support. Today, I explain why the NDAA and appropriation bills should bring all hands on deck to pressure Republicans into holding the line. Unfortunately, conservative influencers are busy focusing on nonsense. They have become groupies who negate the talking points on the very issues they claim to care about. They obsess over elections, but then fall asleep every day between Election Days and ignore the entire purpose of winning an election. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
