About this listen

 Conservative women are “Problematic Women.” We are proud to be pro-life, pro-family, and pro-traditional American values. Because we don’t fit the left’s version of what a feminist should be, we have been labeled PROBLEM and we have embraced the title.All rights reserved Political Science Politics & Government

  • OH BABY! Lovers Could Make Out Like Bandits on Trump Accounts This Valentines Day

    OH BABY! Lovers Could Make Out Like Bandits on Trump Accounts This Valentines Day
    Feb 14 2026
    The Trump administration has created an incentive for Americans to have more children within the next three years. Any baby born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028, is eligible for $1,000 of seed money in a tax-advantaged investment account known as a “Trump Accounts,” though any parent with a child under 18 can open an account for their son or daughter. The account operates similarly to an IRA, and parents, relatives, and friends can contribute up to $5,000 annually, though they do not have to make regular contributions. “Your child’s funds will automatically be invested in American companies,” according to the Trump Accounts website. When the child turns 18, they can either allow the account to continue to grow, or they can withdraw the funds for education costs or to purchase a home. If the maximum amount is contributed to the account annually from the time the child is born, the account will have grown to over $270,000 by the child’s 18th birthday. Between the rapid increase in the cost of living over the past 20 years, and many young people in debt with student loans, true financial freedom is a distant dream for many in their 20s and 30s, but “Trump Accounts” could change that for the next generation. If Americans take advantage of the program to its full extent, Generation Alpha, born between 2010 and 2024, and Beta, born between 2025 and 2039, can hope to avoid the financial situation many millennials and Gen Z young people find themselves in today. On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the potential financial and political implications of Trump Accounts. Plus, we celebrate the day of love and romance with our favorite hot takes on Valentine’s Day. Enjoy the show! Trump Unveils New Initiatives to Bring Real Food to Americans Robert F.

  • ICE Operations: What Americans Actually Want | Meaghan Mobbs

    ICE Operations: What Americans Actually Want | Meaghan Mobbs
    Feb 7 2026
    President Donald Trump says a “softer touch” may be needed to carry out his immigration enforcement agenda. “I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch, but you still have to be tough. These are criminals – we're dealing with really hard criminals,” Trump told NBC News following the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis in January. Two separate polls confirm the president’s conclusion is in line with the American public’s view of U.S. immigration policy. A recent NPR/PBS News/Marist poll found that 65% of Americans feel that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have gone too far in enforcing immigration laws. But recent polling from the group Cygnal shows that 54% of Americans support ICE enforcing U.S. immigration laws to remove illegal aliens from the country. The same poll found that 61% of U.S. voters support deporting illegal aliens. “I think what those two polls are actually doing is talking about policy, and they're talking about the execution of policy,” Meaghan Mobbs, director of the Center for American Safety and Security at the Independent Women’s Forum, says. “Americans support the policy, which is deportation, but like President Trump said, perhaps there's a way to go about it that's not exactly how it unfolded in Minneapolis,” Mobbs explains on this week’s edition of “Problematic Women.” “I think that's the threading of the needle where [Trump] said, we're going to keep doing it, but maybe with a ‘softer touch,’ which I do think means increasing communication with local and state authorities, [and] I think means messaging it more effectively.” Mobbs joins “Problematic Women” to discuss Trump’s decision to deploy border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota and Homan’s actions since he arrived in the Twin Cities. Plus, we discuss the extent to which U.S. support for ICE comes down to a PR and messaging battle. Enjoy the show!

  • Why the Next Generation Isn’t Buzzed | Ericka Andersen

    Why the Next Generation Isn’t Buzzed | Ericka Andersen
    Jan 31 2026
    “Dry January” is upon us—the annual reset when people swear off alcohol for a month, whether for health, discipline, curiosity, or recovery. While some are opting to detox from alcohol during the month of January, something bigger is happening beneath the surface: an entire generation is quietly walking away from alcohol altogether. A 2025 Gallup poll found that only 50% of young adults ages 18-34, reported they drink—down from 72% two decades prior. And yet, alcohol still sits at the center of modern social life—networking events, happy hours, girls’ nights out, and dating culture. If you don’t drink, you’re expected to explain yourself. In a culture that normalizes constant consumption, slipping into sipping habitually can be like a frog in slowly boiling water; you don’t notice the danger until alcohol starts stealing your clarity, your relationships, your peace, and eventually your purpose. This week’s Problematic Women, Ericka Andersen, knows this song and dance all too well. She joins this week’s episode to make the case for sobriety in a culture so hellbent against it. Andersen, the author of “Freely Sober: Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith,” shares the story of her personal relationship with alcohol and how she leaned not only on facts, but also on her faith, to find her way out. We also break down the latest trends and statistics on alcohol consumption and what that says about the state of our culture.
