Donald Trump was pressed about his COVID-19 decisions and the decisions of the government under him during an interview with Megyn Kelly and his responses are very telling. Whom does he think is his audience? What does he have to gain and why is he still sticking by his Fauci decisions? Also, we look outside the world of politics to the world of sports and preview the football weekend ahead in both college and the NFL. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

If you are paying attention to conservative talk on podcasts, TV or even X, then you've likely heard a ton about "living in Romans 1 times." It got Andrew and Pat to thinking — what is Romans 1 really about and do those who use it really understand it? Is it all about the damnation of today's society or something else? We explore that on our World View segment. Also, funding the system is the point for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and John Fetterman speaks a coherent truth for once? What is the...

On this #TruthOrFiction Tuesday, we wonder if it's not 9/11, but 9/12 that we have forgotten in this country. Also, is New Mexico's governor the most in-tune politician in America...because she knows the lay of the land better than anyone? Finally, Joe Biden deserves the 25th amendment, but will that actually happen? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Republican party backs Mitch McConnell after multiple scary health episodes, while talking about fitness to lead with President Joe Biden. Kevin McCarthy continues to break promise after promise with no repercussions, all the while the Dems are attempting to destroy the American ideal. So, do you pick the side that won't fight for you or the side that hates you? I say, let them all take a loss and focus on rebuilding from ourselves first. It's also a #WTFWednesday on a Thursday too. Hosted o...

Trust, it seems to be what many are seeking out in the 2024 GOP race, but can anyone really trust that Vivek Ramaswamy is who he says he is today or believe what he says he believes? Is he the 2024 version of Evan McMullin, grifting along the way? Also, we explore Trump's mugshot as a win and what about a dictatorship coming to America?

What we witnessed from the figures of the online right was pure insanity this weekend. Between the suggestion that black Americans support Donald Trump at a 20% clip (because he's a criminal now, according to the right's logic) and Trump 2.0 will be the retribution tour — have y'all lost your damn mind? Also, speaking of losing their mind...Jemele Hill went and decided that saying voting for Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris to be president is racist. What the hell was happening this weekend? Se...

A recent CBS News/YouGov poll of Trump voters showed that a majority trusted Donald Trump to tell the truth over religious leaders. Can you tell me you're in a cult, while telling me you are? Also, if you've put your life on hold to "exonerate" a man who hasn't done anything to assist you and left most of you hung out to dry while putting your necks on the line for him...what do you call that? We also talk about how Iowa polling results suggest that there's a massive group of people yearning to ...

Between the political prosecutions of the lead candidate of the ruling party's opposition to local government dictating whom can travel where and when and only with government-issued passes...have we crossed the political rubicon and escalation to a point where we can't return from? Also, an Aussie doesn't get our "American flag obsession," Joe Biden doesn't get the MAGA philosophy at all and more proof that men shouldn't be allowed in women's sports. Hosted on Acast.

Johan Goldberg has gone off the conservative rails in the past few years, but on CNN this week he derailed completely — lamenting the fact that the "small donors" of the GOP have demanded their candidates actually adhere to principles over pragmatism. Also, CNN can't imagine why the right hates them, Disney shows you how to trans Minnie Mouse and one song that captures all of what many in America are feeling. Hosted on Acast.

Steve Deace noted that about 60% of Iowa GOP voters don't believe Trump will be convicted or put in prison. Well, on the heels of Ecuadorian political candidate Fernando Villavicencio being assassinated in what looks like a political hit, we ask just how serious do you think the Authoritarians are and how unserious MAGA-forever and America 1st really is. Do they not get what's really going on? Also, the American Association of Pediatrics has announced a review of its 'gender-care' policies. Is t...
