Debt Ceiling Fight Is a Once-in-a-Lifetime Chance to Crush Woke Government | 1/16/23
The most important fight of this year will be the debt ceiling in the early summer. Today, I explain the budget math behind the Freedom Caucus proposal and how we’ve never had a better opportunity to leverage and properly message a balanced budget. It’s not just about spending figures, but about crushing the woke agencies that have destroyed our prosperity and freedom. The debt ceiling will also create an inflection moment for us to crush the biomedical fascist state. I offer new information on how Republicans are still supporting the DARPA programs and global vaccine initiatives. Also, the CDC is on the cusp of retreating on the vaccines, but don’t be fooled, the policies and future gain-of-function research will continue unless we uproot them.

Is Our Military Even Salvageable? | Guest: Lt. Col. Ivan Raiklin, USA, Ret. | 1/13/23
Establishment Republicans in the House are pushing back against any budget cuts because they are scared they will affect the military. But our military is completely destroyed from within. Today, we’re joined by retired Lt. Col. Ivan Raiklin, a former Green Beret, who left the military because of the COVID mandates and woke culture. He believes that before we throw more money at the woke military, we need to do surgery within. He advocates replacing all the top leadership with those who were removed for speaking out against the mandates. Raiklin also explains how China has subverted our military and that the main battle against China is in the cultural and economic spheres. Until we reorient the culture and vision of the military, it is counterproductive to keep increasing Pentagon spending. Finally, I discuss how the DOD is doubling down on Operation Warped Speed to create endless vaccines on the military and society that will likely destroy our bodies and souls from within. It sure feels like Friday the 13th. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How to Take Back Red-State Legislatures from RINOs | Guest: Andy Roth | 1/12/23
On today’s special episode, we’re joined by Andy Roth, president of the State Freedom Caucus Network. So far, the group has set up freedom caucuses in 10 states. Their goal is to break the RINO monopoly on red-state legislatures by exposing their liberal agenda, empowering the good members with legal, policy, messaging, and campaign help, and synergizing a transformative conservative agenda throughout the nation. We need outside and inside conservatives in red states to work together, strategize together, and get as loud as they can. Andy goes through some of the states with a lot of potential, but notes that Texas is so bad they don’t even have enough members for a freedom caucus. Also, I explain how many Republicans hide behind the abortion, gun, and tax issues to win primaries, but stab us in the back on the woke corporate issues, which matter more to life, liberty, and property than the legacy issues of the past. We need policy innovation and blunt-force use of messaging and leverage to enact our agenda. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Conservatives Now Have the Political Weapons. Will They Fire Them? | Guest: Rep. Dan Bishop | 1/11/23
Given the political environment, the momentum from the speaker fight, and the new agreement on sharing power with the Freedom Caucus, we now have some tools to fight. But outcomes are not guaranteed. We are joined today by North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop, one of the lead negotiators of the agreement, who offers a sobering and balanced view on the outcome of the McCarthy fight. He observes that we now have momentum against those in the party who operate out of fear, but we still haven’t reached the promised land. He explains the importance of the rules changes and committee structures, but notes that it will take conservative outsiders to provide a lot of the intellectual firepower and focus needed to push these members into action.

A Winning Agenda to Shift the Overton Window | 1/10/23
We’ve never had such an amazing opportunity to push a winning agenda on so many issues in the states and at the federal level. Yet we still must barrel through the fake Republicans. I explain how there is a growing opportunity for conservatives to break away from the GOP caucus in some states and use leverage to push our agenda. Then I delve into what that agenda should look like for the military, immigration, and energy. Conservatives must get off the old dogma about military spending and focus more on the mission, values, and policy of the military. Also, the military is the driving force behind the biomedical state, and its operations in that realm need to be dismantled. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

McCarthy Won the Gavel; Conservatives Won the Policy Power | Guest: Rep. Chip Roy | 1/9/23
Some are disappointed that McCarthy has become speaker, but I believe that a weakened McCarthy, with our guys in control of policy, is actually the best outcome. Today, I explain the contours of the agreement between the Freedom Caucus and McCarthy, why he offered so many concessions, and why it is useful. No, it will not ultimately fix the federal government, but it will give us the ability to expose things through oversight and forced votes that embarrass both the government and the RINOs. The goal is to ultimately red-pill the public in a way that will force the cathartic brinkmanship we need. I’m also joined by Rep. Chip Roy, one of the lead negotiators, who explains the specifics of the agreement. He believes that it will allow his fellow patriots to weaponize our tools against a weaponized government. However, he cautions that we now must fight to hold the agreement accountable and utilize its promise with good policies and strategies. Learn more about your ad choices.

January 6, 'Ray Epps Day,' the Speaker Fight, and How They’re Connected | 1/6/23
Today is the two-year anniversary of January 6. We’re joined by a leading January 6 defense attorney who tells us that Jan. 6 was really about government inducing an inflection point to squelch political opposition. Now officials plan to use unconstitutional indictments to round up another 1,000 people who didn’t commit even a minor crime. How is this lie able to persist? Because McCarthy’s GOP is part of it. I offer you the only truthful analysis on the latest in the fight against McCarthy, the motivations, outcomes, and how this can be a blueprint for burning down the current duopoly in the future.

'Conservatives' Value Access Over Leverage: Why We Failed | Guest: Steve Deace | 1/5/23
Today, my colleague Steve Deace joins me to uncover why the GOP has been able to stab us in the back for two generations without any backlash. The speaker’s fight is so illuminating because it demonstrates that conservative talkers view the Republican Party as a brother rather than a servant and therefore value access over leverage. Steve explains how conservatism was never a movement but an industry, which is why it was designed to work with the GOP to ensure the base never knows who they are, rather than exposing their fraud with leverage and blunt force. It’s nothing but an access-based clique, but there are signs that a new generation of leaders who know what’s at stake are making progress. Learn more about your ad choices.

Kevin McCarthy and Breaking the Cycle of Failure | 1/4/23
Those fake conservatives shilling for McCarthy are part of a generation-long cycle of failure. I explain today how the toe-dippers fight us on every strategy for 15 years to change the party, claim victory on the backs of our hard work that they opposed, but then oppose the new effort when it matters. Today, I go through each fake argument against the patriots forcing a national discussion on the controlled-opposition GOP. The reason the GOP is the way it is today is because of the very voices shilling for McCarthy and everything he represents. This is actually the perfect fight at the perfect time, and anyone who doesn’t like it needs to provide a plan for how they will change the duopoly. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why the House GOP Legislative Agenda Sucks | 1/3/23
We might be in a new year, but nothing appears to change with the GOP. In today’s inaugural show of the year, I offer an agenda of what should be done and how a powerful messaging bill can change the culture. Unfortunately, the GOP plans to pass weak, nuanced bills that the public will not be able to get excited about. This is how Kevin McCarthy operates. We need to burn the party down to the ground and create as much chaos as possible in order to spawn any change. I also expose the hypocrisy of Republicans who, on the one hand, would never miss an opportunity to fight abortion, but on the other hand, promote the biomedical security state and killer vaccines. Are we finally going to do the surgery on the GOP that needed to be done for a generation? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
