  Conservatives Are Getting the Worst of Both Worlds with the GOP |9|28|26 28.09.2026 57mnt

  What happens when a political party takes on the liabilities of governing — but delivers few of the policy results its voters expect? We are being asked to defend Republican candidates and institutions while simultaneously watching the party subvert us on immigration, the economy, judicial power, surveillance, data centers, and other issues central to the conservative movement. I lay out an alternative approach centered on grassroots organization, targeted candidates, party-rule reform, independent candidates, conventions, and sustained issue advocacy. Simply perpetuating the status quo is not an option and will result in Democrats winning until the eye can see.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  Trump, RFK Jr. & the Great Medical Freedom Betrayal |9|25|26 25.09.2026 1j 35mnt

  Despite campaign promises to clean up the health agencies, the reality on the ground is moving rapidly backwards. Dr. Robert Malone reveals how industry insiders are quietly replacing battlefield-tested medical freedom fighters at the CDC and FDA. Instead of rolling back disastrous health interventions, the government is doubling down: approving new mRNA COVID shots and pushing the first mRNA flu vaccines. This isn't accidental — it's a calculated regulatory maneuver to officially cement mRNA as a legally recognized "platform technology," guaranteeing a permanent, highly lucrative monopoly for Big Pharma giants like Pfizer and Moderna while boxing out safer alternatives. In a wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Malone and I warn how the medical freedom betrayal is emblematic of the broader political Right, whereby the very influencers who talk an issue to death actually turn around and become enforcers for the other side when the ball is in play. This creates a vicious cycle: Politicians make promises, influencers defend them and tell the base to stand down, and the promised reforms never happen — or policy moves backward. Oh, and anyone demanding accountability is accused of helping the Democrats, even as the GOP perfidy itself is what is helping the Democrats win.  Learn more about your ad choices.

  Why the GOP Is Losing Voters — and Why Trump Cannot Be Removed from the Equation |9|24|26 24.09.2026 1j 1mnt

  Today, I expose the uncomfortable truths that the rest of the “right-wing” media refuses to touch: The party has spent 11 years suffocating actual right-wing reformist policies. This was all done to protect one man's ego, embracing economic rot, juvenile behavior, misaligned priorities and corruption, and alienating the exact voters required to win. I explain how we cannot limit the postmortem analysis to the stupid Iran war, take Trump out of the equation, and then move onto JD Vance without recognizing both of their culpabilities in the very economic policies that have been hemorrhaging voters for quite a while. From inflation, tariffs, debt, and interest rates to foreign labor, Big Tech, data centers, government spending, and the financialization of the economy, both of them have supported the very corporatist Baby Boomer policies that alienate the young voters they claim to support. I also explain why Republicans are losing independent and low-propensity voters, why the problem goes far beyond conservative voters staying home, and why blaming everything on a single issue risks missing the larger systemic failure. We will not move on from this if we fail to recognize how we got here, Trump’s role in it, and how it was a long time in the making.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  The GOP Hamster Wheel and the Lie of the 'Lesser of Two Evils' | 9/23/26 23.09.2026 1j 2mnt

  Conservatives are constantly told the same thing: Stay on the GOP hamster wheel, vote Republican, and whatever you do, don’t challenge the system — because otherwise the Democrats will win. But what if that entire argument is a false construct? I explain in great detail how we are NOT trapped in a permanent two-party choice and why the movement already has tools capable of forcing real change — including political conventions, alternative ballot lines, and strategically supporting candidates outside the traditional Republican machinery. And this isn't just theoretical. South Dakota provides a real-world example of how conventions can defeat establishment incumbents that survive Republican primaries. I also revisit the 2009 New York special election involving Doug Hoffman to show how conservative media and political organizations once had the willingness to rally behind a candidate outside the establishment Republican structure. The question isn't whether conservatives have options; it’s whether we have leaders. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  Why Independent Ranchers are Forming the Most Important Political Movement |9|22|26 22.09.2026 1j 1mnt

  America’s cattle herd is shrinking while the United States becomes increasingly dependent on foreign beef — and independent ranchers are being squeezed from both sides.  I’m joined by Bill Bullard, CEO of R-CALF USA and a leading advocate for independent cattle producers, to examine how America reached this point and what it would take to rebuild a sovereign, competitive domestic cattle industry.  He explains exactly how the beef importations exacerbate the meat packing monopoly, while harming cattlemen without helping consumers.  We also discuss why the Prime Act is so important and his effort to enforce anti-trust laws.  Independent ranchers receive no government subsidies and operate in a highly manipulated market. Meanwhile, the government heavily subsidizes corn/soybeans (49% of all ag subsidies) and offers massive tax abatements for solar farms and data centers. This prices ranchers out of the land market and permanently removes grazing land from the food supply.  Learn why I believe the fight of independent ranchers is the most important movement in America.

  Republicans Are LOSING Red America — and They're Fighting Over the WRONG Things |9|18|26 18.09.2026 1j 7mnt

  Republicans are getting crushed even in red states, all for issues and politicians that we don’t even believe in. We are focusing on the wrong things, dying on the wrong hills, needlessly uniting behind Trump’s perfidy, and then needlessly dividing on issues we supposedly all agree on! The main reason? We’ve created a circuitous failure theater and defeat mechanism with Trump that has ensured we never accomplish our stated objectives. Why are fighting over personalities, and online factions are distracting conservatives from the underlying problems. Meanwhile, a slew of polling shows Democrats about to sweep relatively light red states, while making inroads into deeper red states. Is it perhaps good to bring in the official Democrats so we can rebuild, or will we still fail to learn our lesson? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  GOP Congress & Trump Are Letting the Courts Control Immigration, Our Destiny |9|17|26 17.09.2026 1j 8mnt

  On this Constitution Day, it’s time we recognize that judicial supremacy is a legal fiction and must be confronted.  Nowhere is this more evident than with immigration policy. I sit down with immigration attorney John Miano (Center for Immigration Studies) to expose how hypocritical courts and the acquiescence to their capricious decisions have stripped away America's sovereignty.  John shows how pretty much every meaningful reform on immigration has been mowed down in the courts.  However, the same courts that say the president cannot enforce sovereignty have also ruled against John’s clients who sued Democrat presidents for illegally expanding immigration without Congress.  He explains why the judiciary has become a one-way street and a dead end for conservatives in general, and pro-sovereignty patriots, in particular.  The fact that Republicans won’t lift a finger to codify a single order show why the Republican establishment secretly prefers it that way.

  Data Centers, Electricity Bills & the GOP’s 2006 Mistake |9|16|26 16.09.2026 1j 1mnt

  Today, I debunk one of the biggest lies surrounding the massive data-center takeover: the claim that hyperscale data centers will simply pay for the enormous electricity generation, transmission infrastructure, and other costs they create. The numbers tell a different story. PJM’s independent market monitor has reported that data-center load growth is a major driver of recent capacity-market conditions and higher costs, with its analysis estimating billions of dollars in additional capacity-market costs attributable to data-center demand. I prove that what is happening with the data-center grift is antithetical to a free-market technology revolution. It’s a government-supported immoral transfer of costs and resources toward Big Tech. By supporting this grift, Republicans risk repeating the political pattern of 2006–2008 by remaining closely aligned with an unpopular Republican president rather than separating themselves from policies they believe are hurting them politically and are not conservative anyway.  I compare today's political environment with the final years of the George W. Bush presidency and ask a central question: How can Republicans repeat the same strategy and expect a different political result? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  AI Doesn’t Need Giant Data Centers — So Why Are We Building Them? |9|15|26 15.09.2026 1j 8mnt

  Everything you’ve heard about the debate over AI and data centers is built upon a false choice. Not only do we not need a centralized cloud-based AI strategy built upon thousands of hyperscale data centers, but it is holding us back from cheaper, more efficient distributed AI technologies. I’m joined by computer scientist and AI expert Jay Valentine, VP of operations at Fractal Computing, who explains why the future of technology is distributed, localized, and edge and sovereign AI — technology that can run on existing computers and hardware while being dramatically cheaper, faster, more private, more secure, and less vulnerable to centralized points of failure. Valentine explains why AI is fundamentally a powerful pattern-recognition technology rather than the sentient superintelligence often portrayed in the media, and he demonstrates how sophisticated applications can be moved away from massive, centralized data centers and onto distributed systems. AI is NOT synonymous with ChatGPT, and if the president only understood that, he’d realize that he’s the one putting us at a disadvantage with China.  Learn more about your ad choices.

  The 4 Horsemen Destroying America: China, Islamists, Globalists & Their American Enablers |9|14|26 14.09.2026 1j 12mnt

  America’s economic crisis didn’t happen by accident. I’m joined by my friend Kevin Freeman of "Economic War Room" who is out with his new book, "The Four Horsemen of the American Apocalypse." Kevin identifies four forces behind the economic and cultural crisis: communism/China, Islamism, globalist technocrats, and the American “traitors, cowards, and fools” who empower them. We focus on this fourth group, the “yellow” horse, and how it uses crony capitalism, government favors, financialization, monetary manipulation, excessive debt, inflation, monopolies, Big Tech, and government-connected corporations to distort what Americans think of as a “free market.”  Kevin also lays out his solutions — including transactional gold and silver, building a parallel economy, decentralizing economic power, supporting local businesses and landowners, reducing dependence on government, and rebuilding strong families and communities.

  25 Years After 9/11: Did We Let Islam Win? 9|11|26 11.09.2026 1j 4mnt

  Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, we are forced to ask a painful question: Did Islam actually defeat us from within? On this special 25th anniversary episode, I look back at the attacks, the extraordinary heroism and unity they produced, and the terrible decisions made by America's leaders in the aftermath, which squandered the sense of common cause. Rather than shutting off Islamic immigration and shutting down the Muslim Brotherhood that harbored people like the hijackers, we tripled our immigration, and now there is a mosque on every corner. I’m joined by Krista Schild, Texas director of the RAIR Foundation and a former flight attendant, who brings a remarkable firsthand perspective from the aviation industry at the time. Krista reveals that before 9/11, she personally encountered one of the future hijackers whose behavior raised serious concerns — and she recounts hearing from other flight attendants about suspicious encounters involving passengers who would later become associated with the 9/11 attacks. She explains how flight crews were trained to recognize threats, but how political correctness and restrictions on discussing Islam affected the ability to confront those threats. Will we finally have our Flight 93 moment at the political and cultural level to reverse the tide and finish the job that the heroes of 9/11 began? Learn more about your ad choices.

  The GOP’s Art of Talking BIG While Delivering NOTHING — the $5,000 Check Scam 9|10|26 10.09.2026 1j 5mnt

  The GOP is the party of BIG TALK and NEGATIVE RESULTS. Today, I vividly show through Republicans' stupid convention how their rhetoric matches their actions. I also delve into President Donald Trump’s proposal for a $5,000 “Trump dividend,” which is literally the exact policy that created this affordability crisis to begin with. I show how this policy harms the middle class with inflation that is much greater than the size of the check people receive. The reaction of con inc. to this and the 20 or so other fiscally and socially liberal policies from Trump exposes a much bigger contradiction: These influencers don’t believe their own talking points for a minute. Which is why I also explain how this fake unity under the guise of defeating Democrats is circular, for if we continue with the Trump image and messaging, Democrats will win anyway — not only in November but also in 2028.  Learn more about your ad choices.

  COVID Doctor Treated Thousands — Then the DOJ Prosecuted Him for Speaking Out | Dr. Ron Elfenbein 9|09|26 09.09.2026 1j 10mnt

  Dr. Ron Elfenbein treated thousands of COVID patients with monoclonal antibodies — and years later, he is still fighting a federal criminal case. Elfenbein tells me how his clinics treated more than 5,000 people with monoclonal antibodies during the pandemic. He describes how the federal government centralized distribution, how access to the treatment changed, and why he publicly challenged the government's insane decision to shut down a federal monoclonal-antibody program. A federal jury convicted Elfenbein in 2023 on five health care-fraud counts. The case was so egregious that a federal district judge subsequently entered a judgment of acquittal. However, the Biden administration appealed it, and now Ron is still on the hook for another trial even under the Trump administration. Why is the persecution continuing, and what does this tell us about weaponization once Democrats return to power? You can donate to his cause at DropTheCase.com Learn more about your ad choices.

  Vance’s Stay-at-Home Parent Plan: Does It Solve America’s Family Crisis? 9|08|26 08.09.2026 1j 3mnt

  JD Vance’s reported plan to make federal child care funds available to certain married couples with a stay-at-home parent has sparked a debate over family policy, America’s declining birth rate, women in the workforce, and the role of government. I argue that we’re missing the broader context: Are financial incentives enough to reverse the decline in marriage, family formation, and birth rates? Also, what is actually driving the affordability crisis to begin with? The affordability crisis is driven by several factors, including federal debt, inflation, monetary policy, health care costs, and market concentration. At the same time, declining marriage and family formation are fundamentally cultural problems that cannot be solved simply through government subsidies. Too many debating this proposal fail to see the broader picture and are more concerned about clout chasing or aligning themselves with particular politicians rather than trying to solve an issue.  Learn more about your ad choices.

  The Third-Party Run That Will Save Conservatives in America’s Reddest State | 9|04|26 04.09.2026 1j 2mnt

  Democrats are silently taking over the Republican Party in America's reddest states, thanks to the corruption of special interests. Teton County conservative activist Rebecca Bextel joins me to expose the uni-party playbook in Wyoming and explains why she is bypassing the GOP to run for governor on the Constitution Party ticket. Bextel explains why Eric Barlow, the official Republican nominee for governor, is really a Democrat.  She points to his record on Medicaid expansion, sanctuary cities, illegal immigrant benefits, energy policy, coal, and other issues as evidence of what she describes as a leftist agenda operating under the Republican label. Here’s the amazing thing: A conservative third-party candidate can compete and easily win without simply handing the election to the official Democrat. This isn't just about Wyoming. It's about whether conservatives can continue allowing establishment Republicans to win primaries, govern like Democrats, and then demand unconditional Republican support in November. If Wyoming can be captured from within, what does that mean for the rest of America's red states? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  The GOP’s Distraction Game: Republicans Campaign on Fighting While Giving Democrats Everything | 9|03|26 03.09.2026 1j 3mnt

  The Republican Party says it is fighting Democrats. But what happens when Republicans actually have the power to force meaningful change? Today, you will understand 50 years of the GOP distraction game and how Republicans use distraction, political theater, campaign rhetoric, and social media battles to hoodwink the voters into ignoring the things that actually determine policy outcomes. Instead of using must-pass legislation to force meaningful reforms, the GOP passed a budget bill yesterday with Democrat help that actually made things worse. I also explain why Republican politicians benefit politically from allowing courts to exercise enormous power. Republicans can campaign on appointing “conservative judges” while simultaneously blaming courts when their own policies are blocked.  It all boils down to political theater and political outcomes.

  It’s Time to Overturn Obergefell and Restore Marriage for the Sake of Children | 9|02|26 02.09.2026 1j 7mnt

  Marriage is the foundation of civilization — but what happens when the definition of marriage is separated from children, biological parenthood, and the natural family? I’m joined by Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, for a wide-ranging and provocative discussion about her campaign to overturn Obergefell, restore a child-centered definition of marriage, and rebuild a genuine social-conservative movement in America. Faust argues that the consequences of redefining marriage extend far beyond marriage licenses. We examine how the degeneration of marriage and parenthood have affected adoption, surrogacy, IVF, biological parents, parental rights, and the growing marketplace for children being slave-trafficked. Ultimately, the political Right cannot simply oppose individual symptoms while ignoring the underlying questions about marriage, family, sex, parenthood, and children's rights. The Right must also model the behavior.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  Trump’s War on Ranchers? Foreign Beef, Data Centers & the Rural Land Grab | 9|01|26 01.09.2026 1j 7mnt

  America’s ranchers are facing a crisis that goes far beyond the price of beef in the news headlines. They are facing a multifront cultural assault on their way of life, economic viability, and ownership of land. I sit down with sixth-generation Nebraska rancher and rural broadcaster Trent Loos to expose a much bigger war on rural America — one that connects the dots involving foreign beef imports, shrinking grazing land, meatpacking consolidation, government subsidies, wind and solar development, and the explosive expansion of AI data-center rezoning in the heart of what should be beef country. Trent argues that America is rapidly losing the infrastructure needed to produce its own food while government policies increasingly make ranching and land ownership unaffordable. He also argues that the Trump administration is putting up smoke screens to placate ranchers while harming them with the policies he is actually pursuing. Also, Trent agrees with my point that data centers are not about technology. They are part of a larger battle over land use, electricity, transmission lines, easements, eminent domain, and the future of independent land ownership in rural America.  Learn more about your ad choices.

  Why It May Be Better for the GOP to LOSE the 2026 Midterms | 8|31|26 31.08.2026 1j 1mnt

  What if Republicans losing the 2026 midterms is actually the only way to finally break free of the failed cycle of GOP-controlled opposition politics? The good news is that this question is only academic because Republicans are going to get crushed no matter how much the core base turns out. Today, I argue that we’ve reach the breaking point whereby we are being asked to defend a man and a party that are producing negative political and policy results while simultaneously preventing the development of a new movement. I ask the provocative question: Is it actually better for Republicans to lose — and finally force conservatives to build something new?

  Trump’s Beef Betrayal: How Foreign Imports & Meatpacking Monopolies Are Crushing Ranchers | 8/28/26 28.08.2026 1j 10mnt

  American ranchers are facing a multifront assault from foreign meatpacking monopolies, elite land grabs, government-sponsored subsidies and monopolies, and politicians who put special interests first. I sit down with Joe Maxwell, farmer and president of Farm Action Fund, to expose the catastrophic reality behind recent political moves impacting the agricultural heartland. From Donald Trump’s disastrous push to import foreign beef without tariffs, to the intentional suppression of the PRIME Act and Country of Origin Labeling, the bipartisan elites are actively working to squeeze out the independent American rancher. He also warns that it’s inconceivable that the beef imports are perfectly healthy protein, given the 25% price cut in this market. However, this isn't just about the price of ground beef — it's about techno-feudalism. Wall Street, Big Tech, and foreign corporations are executing the largest land grab since the Indian Wars, attempting to consolidate American farmland for data centers, solar fields, and corporate monopolies.
