By now, the bloom is beginning to come off the GOP trifecta’s rose, as a lot of people realize that many of the campaign promises will not be fulfilled. Logic would dictate that we focus on primaries, particularly gubernatorial primaries. Yet the same people who complain about the status quo — yet also bemoan the creation of a new party — refuse to get involved in primaries. To that end, we continue our "meet the candidates" series. This time we’re joined by Iowa state Rep. Eddie Andrews (R), wh...

We begin by discussing the subversive way MAGA Inc. talks about Trump’s amnesty as if it’s not already being implemented and as if it’s not coming from him. Relatedly, they monetize content feigning outrage over court decisions yet continue to perpetuate the myth that courts nonetheless rule over the other branches. Today, I show how the injunction against defunding Planned Parenthood offers the clearest example of the moral hazard of the fallacy we call judicial supremacism. We are told that th...

Absent an affirmative, godly political movement, we are headed down a dark path. Today, I explain how the hyper-conspiratorial online Right breaks the brains of people and, mixed with the grift motive, is acculturating a new generation into reactionary desperation. I tie together the theories behind Epstein and the Trump assassination attempt and how these same people who simped for Trump are now confronted with their own man going to the other end of the spectrum on some of their theories. Mean...

On today’s special, extra-long July Fourth show, I tie in the lessons and ideals of the founding fathers to the time we are living in today. Weaving together the final thoughts on the budget reconciliation bill and judicial tyranny, I demonstrate how MAGA Inc. is subverting its own stated beliefs because it’s easier to declare victory on false hope rather than actually fight for results. As I predicted, the Supreme Court ruling on universal injunctions did nothing to stop the judicial tyranny. I...

We are hearing endless excuses as to why the signature budget bill is not achieving its stated goals. The most prevalent excuse is that lawmakers don’t have the votes for conservative legislation. Well, if that is true, it’s because of people like Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who pushed for Green New Deal subsidies in the bill. So why is there no unified effort to remove people like her who will stand for re-election next year? We’re joined by our first primary challenger of the year, former Iow...

It’s time for MAGA Inc. to stop gaslighting us that somehow we are effectively solving the invasion and inflation. Today, I repudiate the vice president’s comments that somehow economics don’t matter because of immigration policy when in fact his economic model is partly responsible for Trump offering farm amnesty. Moreover, he is not accomplishing much on immigration. DeSantis’ Alligator Alcatraz demonstrates how much more the administration could have been accomplishing. Don’t let people offer...

Trump promised to cut inflation and to orchestrate mass deportations. However, his fiscal agenda is undermining his ability to find American workers to replace the illegal aliens. Trump is making the case that we need illegal aliens for blue-collar jobs, but today I make the case why it’s his affinity for Medicaid and refusal to cut spending that is actually disincentivizing Americans to take these jobs. The spending and money-printing are making the cost of living unaffordable, plus recipients ...

We begin with a free-for-all Friday rundown of the latest news stories about the terrible reconciliation bill, bad endorsements from Trump, and more signs of stagflation. The court decision against universal injunctions is one positive story, but there is a huge catch. Also, why is the new CDC director unquestionably defending mRNA shots? Why is this administration continuing the biomedical security state under the mantle of MAHA? Indeed, there is a difference between MAHA and the “medical freed...

We begin with some foreign policy news to show once again that the grifters were wrong about everything about the war. Plus, they don’t seem to be bothered by Trump’s waffling on Ukraine. Next, I discuss the bottom line about the reconciliation bill, how inflation is not being dealt with, and how the Trump administration is fundamentally misdiagnosing the housing problem. We’re joined by Kevin Freeman for an update on the transactional gold movement, the only functional solution to inflation. Th...

Americans are shocked watching New York City nominate an Islamist communist as the mayor of America’s largest city. I delve into the factors that led to this day and how red states must begin to fortify — otherwise they will be taken over too. That begins by electing leaders in primaries who take Florida’s model to the next level rather than typical do-nothing Republicans. Next, we’re joined by Florida state Sen. Jay Collins (R), fresh off his rescue mission that successfully evacuated 2,000 Ame...

We begin today by contrasting Trump’s style toward domestic policy and toward foreign policy. His instincts and trolling are a great asset with foreign policy, and we saw this embodied in his willingness to bomb Iran’s nuclear program. On the other hand, the flattery and lack of attention to details is killing us on so many domestic issues. He just wants a “deal” and a talking point. We’re joined later on by Lee Smith of Tablet magazine, who is very bullish on Trump’s overall performance in the ...

The online Right is busy criticizing Trump for attacking Iran after the country is already extremely weak. I explain why these commentators continue to utilize false choices and straw-man arguments, a point JD Vance himself made last week. Israel is actually ensuring that we can pull out of the Middle East. The online Right should be more concerned about what Trump is doing domestically. The courts are mowing down every one of his agenda items, and he refuses to lean into the debate in Congress....

How is it that the entirety of right-leaning media went from loving Israel to hating Israel at lightning speed? I explain how social media creates tunnel vision and precipitates a frenzy of self-confirmation of one’s niche business model whereby the business model drives the fact pattern rather than facts driving the social media brand. We cut through false choices and red herrings about what Israel means and doesn’t mean to America. Also, I explain how there have been numerous opportunities to ...

Contrary to Trump’s assertion that we need illegal alien farm workers, today I explain how they actually serve the business model of the cartels, bringing drug trafficking, crime, drunk driving, and cultural subversion into our most pristine rural counties. We’re joined by Jason Richwine, a resident scholar at the Center for Immigration Studies, who blows up the myth that entire industries absolutely need foreign labor to function. We touch on economic arguments, but also cultural problems. This...

Bookmark today’s show as the Rosetta stone to understanding the hypocritical and feckless behavior of so much of the online Right. They might not influence the people, but they definitely influence the Trump White House. Today I explore why it is that they are lambasting Trump over a war that is under control and that they have suffered nothing for, but refuse to actually fight Trump on other betrayals that cut to the core of America First. The answer is that America First is just a slogan for t...

We begin by discussing the enigma of online influencers who supported many of Trump’s liberal policies, but then choose the one issue that is absolutely in the right to savage him. I explain how Trump’s first-term policy on ISIS is actually the perfect model of crushing an enemy in a way that speaks to the strength of the military without involving us in nation-building. Next, there is something going on in Israel that you all need to know about. While the federal government has no plan to evacu...

On today’s special edition, I begin by offering my observations on the first three days of war between Israel and Iran. At some point, we need to restore the laws of just war fighting if we are going to defeat savages. We’re joined by Yoram Hazony live from Israel for an on-the-ground perspective, as well as thoughts on American and nationalist foreign policy in general. Yoram makes the case that both hyper-interventionists and the new “peace movement” suffer from the same illness of utopianism....

Last night, we got political and military clarity once and for all on Israel and Middle East policy. We’re joined by Kyle Shideler and David Reboi, two Middle East experts, who have long argued that if we simply stay out of Israel’s way, we can focus on our prerogatives without getting embroiled in conflict. They explain how last night’s successful strikes prove the growing reactionary forces on the Right wrong. With broad and penetrating analysis, David and Kyle unravel the timing, significance...

In today’s foundational show, I cut to the core of why the Right is listless and devoid of a set of consistent beliefs or objectives on a single issue — yes, even on immigration. Trump has now come out in favor of more illegal slave workers as well as Chinese visas, but the “influencers” will slop up any dredge thrown in the trough. I weave in foreign policy, immigration, AI policy, China policy, and fiscal and economic policy to show how those who are devoid of beliefs in pursuit of rhetoric an...

We begin today discussing Trump’s trade deal with China. On the one hand, we were supposed to use tariffs to decouple from China, but this deal ensures that we get all the pain of tariffs but still rely on China for critical components plus bring in an unlimited supply of Chinese spies through visas. Next, we’re joined by Nicolas Hulscher, epidemiologist at the McCullough Foundation, for a wide-ranging discussion on the progress and concerns on vaccines under the Trump administration. Hulscher e...

We begin with an update on the riots and the need for Republicans to stick the landing on immigration enforcement in the must-pass bills. Next, we’re joined by Patrick Wood, editor of Technocracy, who is warning that the nightmare of AI and technocratic control is upon us. We analyze Louisiana Republican Speaker Mike Johnson’s statement promoting an effort to crush state regulations of AI and data centers. Patrick connects the dots between tech donors, David Sacks, and this sudden obsession with...

This is a chance for redemption. After choking on the BLM riots in his first term, Trump has a chance not only to put down the L.A. riot itself, but to use the imagery of the invasion to finally end illegal immigration as we know it. Given the clear imagery of an invasion, Trump needs to finally either ignore the courts or demand that judicial reform be placed in reconciliation. Rather than pressuring conservatives to pass one big bill, Trump should divide the bill into two and immediately pass ...

We were all sick of the laptop class during the Biden years gaslighting working Americans into thinking the economy was just fine and inflation was transitory. Well, now we have Con Inc. commentators who earn a lucrative living off gaslighting you that inflation has been solved, deficits don’t affect you, and the BBB is the greatest bill ever. These people literally do not believe in a word they say so long as their people get into office. Today, I cut through the lies and false choices surround...

We begin today by celebrating Trump’s travel ban but also cautioning that he needs to expand it beyond data-sharing to vetting Sharia, anti-American beliefs. Next, we’re joined by economist Brian Wesbury for a discussion about inflation and the Trump reconciliation bill. Wesbury cuts through the gaslighting and excuses to show that the bill fails to deal with the fundamental issue of our time. Republicans have failed to convey to the American people how welfare and entitlements are both responsi...

Today, we discuss three aspects of Trump’s original campaign promises from 2015 on immigration that he has ignored this time: a ban on Muslim immigration, a ban on Chinese immigration, and serious reforms to worker visas undermining American workers. Today, I explain that in light of the Boulder terrorist and the rise of anti-Semitism, Trump has a greater rationale and mandate for a moratorium than ever before. Also, with more Chinese spies arrested, why are we not cutting off visas from China? ...

Today, I offer a deep-dive diagnosis of what is ailing conservative media and how it seeps into administration policy. What you’re supposed to do is craft talking points in pursuit of fixed policy objectives. Instead we craft policies to fit ephemeral talking points. We develop cults of personality, mannerisms, subcultures, and vapid parlance. Those influencing these trends become the cool kids — most of whom are being paid off. I explain how this trend is influencing foreign policy and social p...

We begin today’s show with a look at the courts and how all three Trump SCOTUS appointees continue to subvert the agenda, despite throwing us a few bones on the most egregious lower-court rulings. We’re joined by Andy Roth, president of the State Freedom Caucus Network, for an analysis of what went wrong and right with this year’s legislative sessions. He points out that where the Freedom Caucuses were already large, such as Wyoming and South Dakota, we’re already achieving policy victories. Whe...

We’re at another crossroads. There is a growing sense on the Right that we have not solved the inflation and deportation issues. The question is will we make the right plays to achieve them. This begins with a recognition that unless we ignore the courts or strip their jurisdiction in must-pass legislation, this presidency is doomed. Next, we’re joined by Alex Pollock, a banking expert at the Mises Institute, who warns that not only have we failed to solve inflation, but some of the current prop...

The good news is that Con Inc. finally realizes that we are not accomplishing what we need to. The bad news is that Con Inc. people fail to see that they are the problem. Today, I debunk all of the myths around low expectations for budget reconciliation, budget bills, discretionary vs. mandatory spending, and why their defense of the big, ugly bill is built upon a series of false premises. The bottom line is that Trump needs to be pressured to focus on the right issues, leverage points, primarie...
