There are signs that Gen Z is fed up with the Left. But we have not yet educated Gen Zers on affirmative good – the constitutional and biblical values that will rebuild civilization. Today, I broadcast with Rick Green from Patriot Academy’s campus, where we delve into the Patriot Academy program to bring college-age kids down to its mock legislative chamber to go through a simulation of a legislative session. Patriot Academy teaches biblical citizenship in a way nobody else does. Rick and I...

You can win elections on mommy messaging, but you must govern like a daddy. The time has come for Republicans to be honest with the American people. The reason we have inflation is because of the programs people are addicted to. Today, I present a strategy and messaging for Trump to use the veto pen and his bully pulpit as leverage on the few spending bills and reauthorizations of programs that matter. Republicans must lead by example and refuse to spend money on their own pet projects. Next,...

The nomination of RFK Jr. to HHS is a dream come true for the medical freedom movement. But others in the media are missing the salient point about how we got here. Trump was forced to concede the vaccine issue to RFK because he was willing to follow through with an independent run in a way that would have assured Trump’s loss. Today, I make the point that we need to play the same hardball with RINOs who win primaries and demand a seat at the table. This is coalition government at its...

Now is the time for serious governing. We need to cut expensive programs and reform the government’s role in our lives. With that said, I explain why I am pessimistic about the current leadership in Congress and their will to change their priorities. I also discuss my thoughts on Trump’s Cabinet picks and note that it’s the West Wing leadership that will control the direction more than department heads. The main course today is a deep dive into how the Federal Reserve is responsible for...

Conservatives are celebrating Trump’s Cabinet picks, and undoubtedly the foreign policy and national security choices are great. However, the real shortcomings of the first term were in domestic policy. On that front, we still have a lot of work to do. I explain how success in dealing with inflation boils down to several proposals on cutting corporate and individual welfare and devolving them to the states. Any discussion about “waste, fraud, and abuse” is a fraud. Moreover, we just...

First, we review the good, the bad, and the ugly of Trump’s appointees so far. I make the case for shooting down Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary and Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary. Also, with Marco Rubio becoming secretary of state, I argue that the best person to fill his Senate seat is James Uthmeier, DeSantis’ chief of staff. Next, we’re joined by my colleague Kevin Freeman, author of “Pirate Money,” for an update on his plan to enact transactional gold in the states. He...

We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to forge transformational change, but only through a narrow path of issues and leverage points. Today, I explain how we are only in the pregame show and have not faced the adverse headwinds that will determine whether we succeed or not. On the personal level, going forward, I will not presuppose victory when it's not there yet, nor will I pre-judge failure based on problems with Trump’s first term. Part of utilizing this opportunity is finally leaning...

We’ve defeated Democrat control electorally, but now it’s time to break the Democrats' permanent majority over ideological issues. Today, I offer a provocative thought – that even as Democrats failed to win a permanent electoral majority, they have created a permanent ideological majority. Republican officials and even their voters now subscribe to so many liberal ideas on fiscal and social issues that are to the left of Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign. Next, I analyze Trump’s appointments and...

Now is when the real work begins. Voting is like a gun, but legislative activism is like the bullet to load that gun. Today, I offer a unique presentation on why spectacular electoral victories for the Right always end in both policy and political failure within two years. This time will be no different if we don’t change our approach. Weaving together some electoral observations from the election results together with policy analysis, I offer an agenda built on empowering states to go...

This time must be different. Today, I explain why and how Republicans can use the mandate they have to save the country and build a durable electoral coalition. If they merely act the way they always do, they will not only screw us on policy but also lose their electoral viability. I explain the mixed bag on coalition shifting, how Republicans might not even win the House, and why the House didn’t track with the presidential election. Based on this assessment, I list some immediate challenges...

Not everything hinges upon the presidency. Today, I take a deep dive into the doctrine of the lesser magistrate and how conservatives can and must create impervious red islands through which to govern in accordance with God and the Constitution. Thankfully, new data shows that people are self-sorting and this is already beginning to occur. If Trump wins, blue states will teach us a lesson in the power of federalism. They are already planning to implement their policies at the state level. We...

Nobody is putting forth a realistic solution to the twin economic and illegal immigration crises we face — regardless of who wins the election. We briefly broach the economic issues to show how we will suffer stagflation regardless of the outcomes, and we need serious thinkers to create escape hatches in the red states. As for illegal immigration, the solution is much easier. We’re joined by Ronald Mortensen, fellow at Center for Immigration Studies and a retired career U.S. Foreign Service...

While every conservative media personality is obsessed about cheesy election memes, red states are voting on life-altering ballot initiatives. The Left is outspending us everywhere, and outside Florida, there is no organized leadership at top levels of the party to fight these initiatives. Florida is the one place where churches are fully engaged thanks to the governor. We’re joined by Erik Dellenback, the faith- and community-based liaison to Gov. DeSantis, who shares his work with churches...

First, we begin with a roundup of down-ballot news throughout the country. We continue to lack leadership on any of these issues and races outside Florida. Next, we’re joined by Blaze News investigative reporter Steve Baker for a riveting update on the recovery operations in Western North Carolina. Baker has been on the ground with private veteran groups for two weeks and has formulated a clear vision of what is and isn’t going on there. We cut through some of the misinformation on both sides...

In our continuing coverage preparing for Republican governance on the other side of the election, I diagnose the problem with the GOP overall. Republicans always focus on yesterday’s issue that is no longer in contention or tomorrow’s distraction that is outside the Overton window. But on the issue in front of us now, which is enough to destroy civilization, they walk in lockstep with Democrats. With that thesis, I give an update on immigration and crime to show how Republicans are actually...

Since 2020, the Right in America has been singularly focused on one mission: re-electing Donald Trump. Now that we are on the cusp of possible victory, do we have a plan for "the day after"? Today, I offer an analysis of the state of the race, but more importantly, try to game out what comes next. I explain how we can’t make this personal about loving or hating one man, but about a relentless focus on arriving at specific outcomes. What are the realistic and unrealistic expectations by issue?...

Everyone thinks that our survival hinges upon the election results. Obviously, we don’t want Democrats, but let’s not kid ourselves into believing Republicans will do anything to forestall the financial collapse, unless we change the policies and personnel. First, I warn about some concerning figures on Trump’s transition team and how we need to be prepared as a movement to veto bad Cabinet picks. Next, I’m joined by Tracy Shuchart, an expert in financial and commodities markets, to discuss...

We need to seriously prepare a plan to hit the ground running if Trump does pull this one out. I raise some concerns about personnel choices, congressional leadership, and the upcoming lame-duck session. Trump must make it clear that Congress should not pass any transformational bills during the lame duck and that all disaster spending must be paid for with unspent funds from the Green New Deal. Next, I break down the tab for this past fiscal year to show how nobody has a plan to stop the...

We have a very soft movement that is not willing to power through disruptions in order to pursue good policy. This is true across the board, but particularly on the issue of illegal immigration. I explain how illegal immigration would end overnight if Republicans were willing to go after labor brokers and actually enforce employment laws. The problem is that the Left, through an amalgamation of fiscal, cultural, and immigration policies, has created a self-fulfilling prophecy of Americans not...

Most people are not insane enough to refer to themselves as the opposite gender, but so many of us still act transgender. On today’s special evergreen episode, I share and expound upon Joy Pullmann’s excellent essay “How Feminism Makes Everyone Transgender.” She argues that conservatives have misdiagnosed our societal ills as stemming from too much femininity injected into government by liberal females. But, in fact, those women are extremely masculine and dysregulated. It’s a lack of...

The FBI has now revised the crime statistics to reflect reality. I explain how Republicans have missed an entire decade of messaging and policy opportunities to win back suburban voters on the crime issue. Instead, they pushed jailbreak and bailed out Democrats from their own radical policies foisted upon them by their quixotically unreasonable base. Next, we’re joined by Seth Dillon, CEO of the Babylon Bee. He explains how the Bee is aiming not only to evoke laughter but also to powerfully...

We begin today’s discussion by observing the budding of a national divorce in Western North Carolina. It’s become abundantly clear that the feds are not really interested in helping, nor are the people interested in accepting the help. We are headed toward red state self-sufficiency, and this effort will be led by veterans. To that end, we’re joined by retired Marine Colonel Mark Thieme, who is now executive director of the new Florida State Guard. He explains the need for the Guard and all...

The election is almost over. Now is the time to prepare a plan to deal with the two most pressing issues, both federally and in the states – inflation and invasion. Unfortunately, everything Trump is promising on the campaign trail will only increase the deficit and inflation. What is the plan to curb inflation? I explain why it will only get worse, Trump will own the problem, and we will all get blamed for it. As for immigration, Trump has a plan, but I explain what he needs to do...

There is simply no reason to suddenly believe the recent weather disasters are anything but natural. I discuss the problems with the woke, reactionary right constantly mimicking the left and the need to be more disciplined and effective in pursuit of the truth. We’re joined by veteran meteorologist and long-term forecaster Joe Bastardi of Weatherbell.com to explain the natural phenomenon behind this active hurricane season. He notes that while there might be cloud seeding technology that...
