  • No, We Have Not Solved the Cost-of-Living Crisis | 7/10/25

    No, We Have Not Solved the Cost-of-Living Crisis | 7/10/25
    Jul 10 2025
    We begin today with a presentation on all the conservative priorities that are being ignored or violated. Chief among them is that Trump continues to make terrible endorsements, now endorsing all the RINOs in the Texas legislature. Also, the courts continue to be a problem, and absent using must-pass legislation to kick the courts out of immigration enforcement, mass deportations are dead. Then there is the economy. We’re joined today by E.J. Antoni, chief economist for the Heritage Foundation, who demonstrates how we have not solved the cost-of-living crisis because it is caused by a degree of debt and asset bubbles that have not been addressed. He warns that simply lowering the federal funds rate will not solve the problem and will likely backfire. We also discuss the folly of populism, how it winds up continuing those same policies that lead to the disparity between income levels and the burden of inflation, and how free-market conservatism is the only viable solution.

  • Status Quo Republicans Are Not an Option | 7/9/25

    Status Quo Republicans Are Not an Option | 7/9/25
    Jul 9 2025
    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), who is running for governor. He discusses his leadership role in fighting for property rights against carbon capture pipelines. He promises, as governor, to end all subsidies and favored treatment for green energy. As part of his fight for landowners, he is committed to abolishing property taxes. As for personal autonomy, Andrews has been leading on medical freedom. Andrews is an intriguing candidate because he is one of the most conservative members of the legislature but represents a Democrat district, demonstrating a strong appeal as a candidate.

  • We’re Giving the Courts More Power than King George | 7/8/25

    We’re Giving the Courts More Power than King George | 7/8/25
    Jul 8 2025
    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 there is nothing a court cannot order, mandate, veto, or even fund and that it is self-executing on the other branches, something that does not happen the other way around against the judiciary. I prove once and for all why this is not the system we adopted and how Trump, by giving effect to these rulings, is creating a permanent structure of a level of judicial oligarchy not enjoyed by King George.

  • Reactionary Retardation and Grift Prevent the Right from Succeeding | 7/7/25

    Reactionary Retardation and Grift Prevent the Right from Succeeding | 7/7/25
    Jul 7 2025
    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. Meanwhile, at the policy level, we continue suffering so many left-wing policies, often with the support of Trump, but there is no movement or strategy to counter it. This is creating a degenerative spiral in which the more the failure theater perpetuates leftist policy, economic, and cultural successes, the more desperate and conspiratorial the right becomes. I shudder to think we are headed for a “European Right” dynamic in which we get the governance of Mitch McConnell with the subculture of neo-Nazis. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • What Is the Plan to Actually Implement Our Stated Beliefs Anywhere in This Country? | 7/3/25

    What Is the Plan to Actually Implement Our Stated Beliefs Anywhere in This Country? | 7/3/25
    Jul 3 2025
    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 list six reasons why that ruling was subversive. Yet MAGA leaders continue to perpetuate the myth of judicial supremacism in the Constitution when it flies in the face of the entire principle we celebrate on July Fourth. We need to have a plan. MAGA Inc.’s plan is to grift on social media off fake victories. It is incumbent upon us to formulate a real plan — if not federally, at least in a few states. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • It’s Time for Joni Ernst to Go! | 7/2/25

    It’s Time for Joni Ernst to Go! | 7/2/25
    Jul 2 2025
    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 Iowa state Senator Jim Carlin, who is running for U.S. Senate. He has been part of the grassroots effort to fight the Green New Deal land-grabs in Iowa and to elect better members to the legislature. He shows how Joni Ernst is the very embodiment of what everyone hates about corporatist Republicans and duplicitous campaign promises dying on the altar of special-interest politics. We cover his vision for Iowa landowners, medical freedom, and fixing the military-industrial complex. We will find out who truly believes in defeating RINOs and who is just in this business to make money. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Stop the Gaslighting on Inflation and Invasion | 7/1/25

    Stop the Gaslighting on Inflation and Invasion | 7/1/25
    Jul 1 2025
    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 you false choices between failure theater and desperation. The Florida model is a control group on what could be accomplished. Meanwhile, Florida RINO Byron Donalds is taking credit for ideas he scoffed at and is cozying up to those who tried to prevent DeSantis from enforcing immigration law.

  • How the Welfare State Is Undermining the Deportation Agenda | 6/30/25

    How the Welfare State Is Undermining the Deportation Agenda | 6/30/25
    Jun 30 2025
    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 get free health care without working, so it’s not worth it for Americans to take these jobs. Now Republicans are suffering all the liabilities of cutting spending without actually doing it and reaping the benefits. I also articulate an economic message Trump could use for younger voters but is sadly missing the opportunity to do so. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
