Pandemic of Mental Contagion, Autism, Mass Hyper-Vaccination, and the Rise of Transgenderism | 6/1/23
Today, we cover some of the most vexing issues of our time with Dr. Peter McCullough. Based on his research, he has developed a theory that in addition to the cultural grooming, gender dysphoria has been turbocharged by the rise of autism, and the bad actors in culture and medicine preying upon vulnerability. He posits that the autistic are already more susceptible to this sort of mental illness, and when they are pumped up with excess testosterone, it also leads to more violence. There is a growing trend ignored by the media of those who have gone through gender mutilation committing mass shootings. But what is causing all of this autism? While there might be multiple factors, Dr. McCullough believes it is inescapable that mass hyper-vaccination with so many inflammatory shots at once raises one’s risk for autism. As always, he brings the receipts on the academic literature he cites. We discuss the need to audit all the vaccines, stop the new ones, abolish the concept of a childhood schedule, and certainly end mandates and liability waivers for shots.

McCarthy Purposely Screwed Over Conservatives | 5/31/23
Kevin McCarthy didn’t get outmaneuvered by Joe Biden. I review the provisions of the debt ceiling betrayal bill to show how each one was deviously crafted to give the impression of a conservative victory, but actually makes us worse off than we’d be under a clean, short-term debt limit increase. We’re joined by Rep. Dan Bishop, who is calling for a motion to vacate the chair. He warns that McCarthy’s behavior demonstrates he will get worse from here and screw us on other fights as well. He also says that McCarthy purposely extended the debt limit increase an extra year when Democrats weren’t even asking for it. Why? He fears the debt limit deadline even more than Biden and wanted to make sure he was never put into a position where he’d have to fight for conservatives again. Learn more about your ad choices.

Debt Ceiling Deal Was Worse than Malpractice, It Was Malfeasance | 5/30/23
McCarthy’s debt ceiling bill was not just a sellout; it was an act of political adultery. Today, I break down the details and the background of the deal in a way you will not hear elsewhere. I explain what went wrong with the messaging and how McCarthy turned the debt ceiling brinksmanship into a plague to be avoided rather than an opportunity. It is literally better to pass a short-term increase than this bill. It will make it impossible to fight Biden for the remainder of his presidency. I prove how the bill was a lot worse than what we would expect, even with a small minority. Let’s not forget that McCarthy supported Democrat budget bills throughout Trump’s presidency. Let’s also not forget that Trump pressured conservatives during the fight against McCarthy and severely degraded our leverage to remove him from office. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why Trump’s Horrendous Budget Bills Still Matter Today | 5/25/23
Today, I offer you the history of Trump’s presidency like nobody else has done. Every single budget bill he signed had almost unanimous Democrat support but was opposed by DeSantis and the Freedom Caucus. They were acts of political adultery that we are still languishing from to this very day. We are where we are today on debt, inflation, and the border because of Trump’s failure. We continue to fail because we don’t focus on a mission. The Left doesn’t have that problem. I read a list of dozens of crazy accomplishments Democrats have achieved in Minnesota. Finally, I end with my annual Memorial Day message. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

D-Day: What DeSantis’ Announcement Means | Guest: Dave Reaboi | 5/24/23
First, we’re at a crossroads in the fight for civilization with gender sanity. We’re actually turning the corner on a cultural issue for once – with the successful pushback against Target and Bud Light. But will that victory endure? How does the presidential election factor into this calculus? I’m joined by Dave Reaboi, a Claremont Institute fellow and DeSantis supporter, who makes the case for why Ron DeSantis will help serve as a rising tide for our agenda. He explains why, even though he’s given up on the federal government and advocates for national divorce, he still believes it is helpful to have a national voice giving tailwinds to our agenda. Even though many of us believe the federal government is irremediably broken, Reaboi observes that the actual presidential election provides us with the greatest educational platform to shift cultural, political, and legal paradigms. He believes that DeSantis is the greatest chance for us to harness state power to protect our prerogatives and execute our agenda. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Voiceless: Why We Need a National Advocate for Our Ideas | 5/23/23
Continuing our discussion from yesterday, the biggest thing we lack is a national advocate who properly messages our policies and strategies. I offer an update on the debt ceiling, how Republicans are failing to properly message our position, and how they are accentuating the false talking point of default on the debt. We need to focus primarily on the quality of spending, such as the green new deal, illegal aliens, and Ukraine, not on random across-the-board cuts or welfare programs. Focus on the issues of the time. Next, I discuss how the green energy agenda is going to be used for the next lockdown and how GOP governors are facilitating it. Finally, we delve into Tim Scott’s run for president and how he is the worst mix of the establishment and a Trump facilitator who has no soul. Learn more about your ad choices.

In What Ways the Presidential Primary Matters and Doesn’t | 5/22/23
Today, I offer my initial thoughts on why it’s important that DeSantis win the nomination. I don’t think the presidential election matters much in terms of our ability to fix the federal government. I don’t think anyone can, and I think we instead need to focus on red-state interposition. But where it does matter is in terms of setting the tone for the sort of candidates, policies, strategies, and messages we need for our other endeavors. Trump gives us headwinds, while DeSantis offers us tailwinds. I also delve into the DeSantis family dynamic and how the importance of a strong, vibrant family as the symbol of our movement is an underrated feature of this race. It’s actually more important that we have someone like DeSantis as leader of the party and movement than the actual office of the presidency itself. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Man Who Found DNA Toxins in Pfizer & Moderna Vials | Guest: Kevin McKernan | 5/19/23
It’s not just the spike protein and the mRNA that are a problem. Microbiologist Kevin McKernan pioneered research on testing some of the COVID vaccine vials and discovered unacceptable levels of double-stranded DNA plasmids floating around. He joins us today to warn that there is no quality control in the manufacturing process of these vaccines. If his findings turn out to be widespread, it could portend an even greater risk for anaphylaxis, blood clotting, developing resistance to antibiotics, gene integration risk, and long-term production of spike protein within the body. Yet rather than slowing down this research, the FDA’s advisory committee just approved Pfizer’s RSV shots for pregnant women, despite a plethora of known concerns. This is going to continue to happen until we get rid of liability waivers. Also, the conservative media seems to have political amnesia not just on COVID, but every important issue, including the border, the debt ceiling, and the trans fight with Disney — in which Trump has now thrown in with the enemy.

How to Use the Debt Ceiling as a Tool for the Reckoning Against Abusive Government | Guest: Rep. Chip Roy | 5/18/23
Hearings and media interviews are all talk. The success of the GOP Congress boils down to just a few leverage points, such as the debt ceiling and appropriation bills. Today, I do a deep dive into the mechanics of the debt ceiling fight, what we hope to get from it, and how the important thing is to break the precedent of GOP cowardice so we can use whatever gains we secure to expand upon it during the budget fight. We’re joined by Rep. Chip Roy, who explains the priorities he is fighting for and how he is trying to keep House Republicans from folding. He believes the border and the green new deal are the most important provisions of the GOP bill to fight for. Later on, I delve into the HUD war on suburban neighborhoods and how we can use this as a sledgehammer against the Left. Finally, I discuss the danger of conservative media shadow-banning DeSantis’ policy successes in that it will embolden the RINO governors to continue in their bad ways.

We Have an Industry Focused on Fame, not a Movement Focused on Outcomes | 5/17/23
Why has the conservative industry failed to deliver on almost any issue in decades? Why do things get worse even in red states? Why do we continue to nominate more Mitch McConnell-style Republicans in primaries? Today’s show is not for the faint of heart, but I serve up the truth 100 proof. We have an industry that is incentivized to focus on brand-building rather than on policy and political outcomes, even in states where Democrats have little influence. The conservative industry has no interest in doing the hard work it takes to win on issues because it is too profitable to simply virtue-signal on social media with no policy direction.
