In today’s special episode, I’m joined by Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith (R), who is also a Pentecostal pastor, to discuss the danger of Islam in America. He has recently jousted with other Indiana Republicans who believe Islam can be treated like any other religion. Beckwith explains why it is not a real religion and why its political and strategic aims need to be countered immediately. We also delve into a much deeper discussion about the state of Christianity in America and on the political Right, the growing Jew hatred and antipathy toward the Old Testament in some circles, and the need to move away from the weak Republicans of last generation, who had toxic empathy but at the same time teach the new generation traditional virtue.

Conservatives are losing the country because they are too obsessed with electing fake Republicans. They are too focused on the quantity of Republicans rather than the quality and focus on a game of inches over a game of miles. Today, I expose the massive fraud at the heart of the GOP establishment, which is even greater than Democrat ballot fraud. We are playing a "game of inches" by obsessing over slim majorities in Congress, while the uniparty plays a "game of miles," quietly transforming our red states through massive Big Tech data center land-grabs, surveillance state Flock cameras, and crushing economic policies. It’s time to stop prioritizing the quantity of Republicans and start demanding quality patriots. I’m also joined by Georgia lieutenant governor nominee Greg Dolezal, a Freedom Caucus conservative who shocked political observers by winning a statewide primary campaign centered on issues the establishment GOP refuses to touch: data centers, property taxes, corporate welfare, immigration, Islam, government subsidies, privacy, and the growing disconnect between voters and political elites. Plus, I explain why President Trump's 11th-hour opposition to the housing bill proves that the grassroots can still force Washington’s hand. Stop funding the political industrial complex and start setting brushfires of freedom. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are you being tracked every time you drive or even walk in your neighborhood? Camden County Presiding Commissioner Ike Skelton reveals the dystopian reality of Flock cameras, the AI surveillance state, and why Big Tech is invading rural America with subsidized data centers. Skelton shares his shocking story of facing felony charges simply for taking down a privately owned Flock camera that violated county ordinances. He explains how government grants and public-private partnerships are bypassing the Fourth Amendment to create "vehicle fingerprints" and auditory surveillance networks. We also expose the hidden agenda behind the massive push for AI data centers, wind, and solar farms in deep-red flyover country. Discover how local officials can use zoning laws and constitutional sanctuary ordinances to fight back against federal overreach and protect private property. Learn more about your ad choices.

Republicans just passed the most consequential housing bill in years — and almost nobody is paying attention. Sold as a solution to housing affordability and corporate home ownership, the legislation instead expands federal housing programs, incentivizes local zoning changes, promotes higher-density development, and gives Washington unprecedented leverage over local communities. This sweeping new housing bill uses federal grant money as a "carrot and stick" to pressure local Republican politicians and developers into destroying local zoning laws. The ultimate goal? To overdevelop exurbs, suburbs, and rural areas with high-density, multifamily, and Section 8 housing and “smart cities.” Yet because of the idolatry of Trump, we have no men standing in the breach to fight this.

What happens when Big Tech joins with utilities companies — the ultimate monopoly — to negotiate secret power deals? The American consumer loses. I sit down sits with former Wisconsin Public Service Commissioner Dan Eastman to expose how Big Tech companies and utility monopolies are pushing unprecedented electricity demands onto America's aging power grid. Eastman explains why utilities are incentivized to overbuild power infrastructure, how taxpayers could be left holding the bag for billions in stranded assets, and why sudden data center disconnections could create dangerous grid reliability problems. We also discuss secret NDAs, local government approvals, transmission line expansions, land-grabs in rural America, and the growing alliance between Silicon Valley and regulated utility monopolies. None of this is free-market. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Foreign policy doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker, so I dedicate a full hour to discussing the outcome of the Iran war with Tablet magazine’s Park MacDougald. He helps me analyze the fallout from the Iran agreement, the future of Israel and Lebanon, the role of JD Vance, and whether America is repeating the same failed Middle East strategy used by Obama and Biden. Unfortunately, what you are seeing is not an exercise in America First or even isolationism or neutrality in the Middle East. It’s a far-left Wilsonian view that intervenes on behalf of Islamic enemies and will further entrench us in the war for years to come. Also, if our trillion-dollar military can't keep shipping lanes open against Iran, what happens when China moves on the shipping lanes in the South China Sea? Learn more about your ad choices.

The AI industry promised a technological revolution. Instead, some of the biggest players are burning billions of dollars while demanding more data centers, more energy, more subsidies, and more government support. Meanwhile, their models — and the business model undergirding it — are rapidly failing. I’m joined by AI pioneer Gary Marcus to expose the growing cracks in the generative AI business model. OpenAI is reportedly losing tens of billions, while major tech companies slash token usage, cut spending, and confront the reality that the economics simply don't add up. Real AI innovation is moving away from the data center and LLM model at a time when companies are tripling down on debt-driven spending to prop it up. The future of AI will not look like ChatGPT. It is those tech bros, and the politicians who support them, who are holding up true technological innovation. Separately, but relatedly, I break down the latest political capitulations on the Iran deal, immigration, and how the "America First" agenda is being sold out to corporate interests.

Today’s show should be bookmarked as the only economic message conservatives should give to young voters. America's affordability crisis didn't happen by accident. Decades of government intervention, Federal Reserve manipulation, corporate favoritism, and monopoly creation have transformed America into a stagflationary economy where young people can no longer afford homes, health care, education, or family formation. Why are housing prices at historic highs? Why is health care becoming unattainable? Why are wages failing to keep pace with inflation? And why do both political parties seem incapable of addressing the root causes? I argue that government-created monopolies, asset bubbles, artificial stock market inflation, foreign labor preferences, and crony capitalism have concentrated wealth while hollowing out the middle class. I lay out a vision and message for restoring true market competition, affordability, and economic opportunity before an entire generation turns toward socialism or worse.

Whether it’s marijuana, high-potency THC products sold as candy, psychedelics, or vaping, the next generation of leaders are having their brains rotted out by the THC Inc. cartel that is purposely creating harmful addiction for profit. I’m joined by drug policy expert Kevin Sabet, founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, to expose the growing influence of the THC and marijuana industry on American politics, culture, and public health. Kevin makes the case that Big Tobacco has now bought out a lot of the largest THC companies and is using the same gaslighting tactic to promote fake medical benefits in order to promote addiction. We also discuss how medical marijuana and veterans have been used as a Trojan horse to promote a non-medical agenda and how Trump got bought out by the industry he used to hate and is, in turn, suppressing organized opposition to this agenda on the political Right.

Donald Trump’s handling of the Iran war gives conservatives all the strategic and economic liabilities with absolutely none of the benefits. Today, I examine the outcome of the Iran conflict; the Strait of Hormuz; U.S. involvement in the Middle East; the role of Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar; and the broader implications for American foreign policy. The sum total is that the Iran war is a perfect example of a larger problem within the Republican Party — giving conservatives all the liabilities of governing while delivering none of the policy victories they were promised. If you're tired of the gaslighting from Fox News, MAGA Inc., and the political establishment, this breakdown is a must-listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
