Why the RINOs Are Stronger than Ever | 3/31/25
Sadly, nine years into Trump’s dominion and this supposed juggernaut of a MAGA movement, the RINOs are actually stronger than ever. Beginning in Florida, then moving to South Carolina and Idaho, I explain how RINOs are subverting Ron DeSantis’ agenda and fighting with Freedom Caucuses everywhere. Yet they are now able to do so without fear of reprisal because conservative media have distracted the base with fake wins, they have failed to properly steer Trump’s endorsements, and the RINOs lie to voters about the facts and motivations behind their actions. We also have candidates running for governor who are invited by conservative media, but they never press the candidates to take a stand on specific fights that will actually determine the outcome of their stated campaign promises. Finally, I note how congressional Republicans continue to subvert the election mandate, specifically to get rid of the Green New Deal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Israel, a Jewish-Christian Alliance, and Returning to Biblical Foundations | 3/28/25
The reactionary Right. That is the new threat to patriotic conservatives. I explain how those with no affirmative beliefs are undermining our ability to reclaim America because they only know how to critique the Left, but then, absent their own beliefs, land in the same place. One of the areas in which this is most prominent is the rise of the secular, anti-Israel right. We’re joined by Josh Hammer, whose new book, "Israel and Civilization," traces the importance of Israel and the Hebrew Bible to the foundation of America and how it still has meaning today. In a wide-ranging discussion, we delve into the reactionary Right that is joining with the Left against Israel, why we should support Israel's struggle against the Left but also end its dependence on us for weapons, and how we can form a new Jewish-Christian alliance to fight jihad and paganism. At the end, we discuss the trend of secular Israelis returning to God and how that echoes Josh’s own personal journey. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Governor Who Wants to Break the Cycle of Poverty in West Virginia | 3/27/25
We begin today by going around the map in deep-red states to show how to many fake Republicans continue to run the states into the ground. If we are going to drain the swamp, Trump is going to have to start changing his endorsements so that we don’t continue sending the same special-interest Republicans to Washington and to state capitals. Nowhere is this more needed than in West Virginia. We’re joined today by the state’s new governor, Patrick Morrisey, who is passionate about changing the way his state does business. He notes how he will demand that the legislature support medical freedom, a refreshing break from past governors. He also lays out an agenda to get the state off dependency, grow free-market industry, and break the stranglehold of the public-sector unions, which are continuing the same failed "Robert Byrd" model of perpetuating the cycle of poverty.

A 10-Point Plan for Fixing Our Broken Elections | 3/26/25
Recent special election losses should remind us that this degree of power Trump has is only temporary and must be used to its fullest extent. The courts continue to serve as a one-way ratchet against conservatives, and unless we stand up to judicial supremacism, we will be left with nothing by the time Democrats get back into power. One huge priority is election integrity. To that end, we’re joined by Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray, who has been a national leader on election integrity. He shares with us a checklist of 10 major legislative items you can demand in your state. They include things like verification of citizenship to register, residency duration laws, banning foreign influence and Zuckerbucks, banning drop boxes and ballot harvesting, moving to paper ballots, and tightening up mail-in ballots as well as domicile laws. We also discuss the mechanics of maintaining clean voter rolls in a timely fashion and preventing double voting out of state. Trump just issued an amazing executive order with many of these priorities, but because of the judicial interference, we need to codify these actions into law in the red states.

Unfinished Business 5 Years After COVID Fascism | 3/25/25
How is it that we are five years post-COVID with zero action at the federal level and very little at the state level to redress the civil rights violations? I begin with a list of policies we must pursue in the states and Congress to make sure these abuses don’t happen again. Next, we’re joined by civil rights attorney Brian Festa of We the Patriots USA, who warns that these violations emanating from medical mandates are still occurring. He also has some good news to share. Brian believes that the courts are starting to move away from vaccine fascism and that now is the time to push a massive lawsuit movement on behalf of medical freedom. Brian shares his ambitious idea of matching the intensity of the anti-freedom forces with a “lawfare” movement, but he needs more attorneys to step up to the plate. He is also pushing for a nationwide civil rights act making health status a protected right. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What Happened to Budget Reconciliation and Mass Deportations? | 3/24/25
We’re beginning the third month of this term, and budget reconciliation remains aimless and chaotic, with no coherent vision of how to spend the political capital. Once again, I offer Trump advice on how to spend the capital on transformational economic policy. Likewise, it is a simple fact that mass deportations are not happening. Trump must either stand up to the courts or demand that Congress pass a bill explicitly greenlighting all deportations. I also discuss some other authorities Trump can use, as well as the need to harness maritime removals and call up the National Guard. Finally, I address medical freedom to show how nothing is changing regarding COVID authorities. The choice for CDC director will be very telling. The moral of the story is that when we demand a course correction from Trump, he listens, but if we continue with a form of obsequious complacency, we will wind up with nothing.

Why Trump Must Wean America Off Foreign Students and Labor | 3/21/25
Trump has already spent a ton of political capital signaling major changes on immigration, so why not go all the way? First, we discuss immigration in the context of court rulings and the need for Trump to follow through with his messaging against rogue judges. Next, we’re joined by Kevin Lynn (@USTechWorkers), executive director for the Institute of Sound Public Policy, who is one of the leading activists against foreigner workers displacing Americans. He explains how the foreign student program funneled through the lawless OPT/H-1B pipeline was systemically and deliberately orchestrated to remove Americans from numerous professions. In a wide-ranging discussion covering numerous visa categories and aspects of the foreign labor scam, Lynn notes how easy it would be for Trump to abolish or reform so many of these programs. There is no America First agenda if we are going to continue this level of foreign students and foreign workers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How HUD Is Destroying Housing in America | 3/20/25
We begin today by applauding Trump for signaling the demise of the Department of Education. The only problem is if he refuses to fight Congress in the budget or to ignore the courts, this action will never become law. Also, to mark the grim five-year anniversary of COVID fascism, I go through some state legislation trying to fix some of the biomedical security tyranny. Next, we’re joined by John Comiskey, a mortgage finance expert, who is using his social media to expose how the FHA is propping up hundreds of thousands of insolvent mortgages, trapping people in underwater mortgages, preventing foreclosures and market correction, and creating price inflation. He has pored over FHA loan data to discover how taxpayers are now essentially subsidizing people who cannot demonstrate financial solvency to remain in their homes indefinitely. This is a superlative example of how do-gooder socialism creates a vicious cycle of debt, inflation, and insolvency that makes home affordability worse than when the program was started.

Congress Rules the Judiciary, Not the Other Way Around | 3/19/25
Bookmark today and our source material as the definitive show proving once and for all that our founders never adopted a system of judicial supremacism. In fact, the courts are not even equal. Except for a couple of issues, Congress fully controls the structure, jurisdiction, and makeup of the Supreme Court. I explain how judicial supremacism was born out of a political, not constitutional, argument of deferring to the expositors of law. I arm Trump with all of the intellectual firepower he needs to push back against the courts. Also, DeSantis is right about the need for Congress to strip the courts of jurisdiction over issues like immigration. I provide the full history and legal rationale behind that provision of the Constitution. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What Is Wrong with Texas? | 3/18/25
The divide on the Right is between those who enjoy the warm water of politics as an end to itself and those who use it to steer the ship to fixed destinations. We are seeing this at the federal level with those who would rather focus on fake spending cuts from the DOGE and even use the DOGE as an excuse not to actually cut spending in Congress. Next, we’re joined by Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison (R), who joins us from Austin to report on how Republicans worked with Democrats to squander what should have been the most conservative session. They have not passed a single meaningful bill in the first 60 days and have no plans to pass anything transformational. He also explains how the school choice bill is misleading and woefully inadequate. Meanwhile, DEI continues to permeate every aspect of Texas government. Is there any hope of throwing these people out in primaries? That is up to us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
