Get ready for a SPICYYYY kickoff to your weekend - my friend Xaviaer DuRousseau is in town, and he’s got a lot on his mind. As a resident of Southern California, Xaviaer gives us an update into all things Spencer Pratt, Karen Bass, and Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayoral race, and reveals just how corrupt Gavin Newsom’s California has become in 2026 👀 Then, we discuss the Karmelo Anthony trial and tragic murder of teenager Austin Metcalf and the difficult questions America is facing this week surrounding justice, race, and accountability. As a former BLM activist turned MAGA conservative, Xaviaer shares his personal perspective on why these conversations matter to pursue truth without falling into the trap of tribalism. Even though some of these topics are heavy, I left this conversation feeling hopeful. Xaviaer always reminds me to pursue courage, conviction, and to stand up for your beliefs while still fighting for a better future. Do you think California is beyond redemption? Was the Karmelo Anthony sentencing a sign of justice, or injustice? Drop your thoughts in the comments 👇👇 Ep. 168 - - - Today's Sponsors: Olive - Listeners get an exclusive 7-day free trial.

The media has been abuzz the past few weeks about President Trump’s UFC arena being built on the White House South Lawn… so I decided to check it out for myself.

Plus, this card is stacked with stars like Sean O'Malley, Ilia Topuria, Justin Gaethje, Alex Pereira, and more. If you love UFC, MMA, and getting a peek behind the curtain, you're in the right place!

Over the past few years, mainstream media coverage has EXPLODED with shocking statistics re: the number of Gen Z women throwing their birth control pills away–and I’m just one of them. Branded by the New York Times as an “anti birth control advocate,” I have been incredibly vulnerable in sharing my story as to “why I quit birth control,” but I’m not the only one. Across party lines and every social background in America, young women everywhere are ditching the pill & other forms of hormonal birth control as we dive deeper into the conversation about Big Pharma’s real impact on our lives. Last weekend, I sat down with four current college students at Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit to hear from them about their birth control journey–prescribed as young as 12 years old for reasons you probably wouldn’t have guessed, now joining the exodus from the pill alongside countless other women in our generation who have had enough. Together, we discuss acne and painful periods, PCOS and hormone-related struggles, and what led all of us to stop taking birth control entirely. Have you been part of the movement to quit taking hormonal birth control? What’s your “why I quit” story? Let us know in the comments 👇👇 HUGE thank you to these courageous students who joined me to share their stories! Please pray for their continued safety on campus as they seek to change hearts and minds for the better every day.

Today felt like a breath of fresh air. Instead of another conversation about politics or outrage, I sat down with my dear friend Riley Gaines to talk about something much more personal: motherhood. We talked about birth, faith, femininity, marriage, family, and the beautiful chaos of raising daughters. Riley shared what it was like bringing Margo into the world, how motherhood has softened and strengthened her, and why family feels more important than ever in this cultural moment. Motherhood has softened us, strengthened us, humbled us, and reminded us of what truly matters. I hope it encourages anyone navigating motherhood, dreaming of a family, or simply looking for hope in a noisy world. Thank you for spending this time with us. 🤍 Ep. 165 - - - Today's Sponsors: Hallow - Get 3 months of Hallow for free at https://hallow.com/isabel Helix Sleep - Visit https://helixsleep.com/isabel for this exclusive offer.

Viral YouTuber Jesse Ridgway (McJuggerNuggets) has sparked a massive online debate after he announced today that he and his wife "terminated their pregnancy"--in other words, ended the life of their baby--following a Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) diagnosis they were "devastated" over. Jesse’s now-infamous tweet seems to miss the mark on the inherent value of a human life entirely–reducing his baby’s existence down to disease statistics and the likelihood of inconvenience… all while fighting with every resource necessary to keep his DOG facing Stage IV cancer alive as long as possible. As a mom, this conversation hit me deeply. I'm not making this video to attack Jesse Ridgway (McJuggerNuggets). This story is about something much bigger than one person, one family, or one decision. It reminded me that every person is more than a diagnosis, more than a prognosis, and more than the challenges they may face. Some of the most beautiful people I've met have taught me that joy, purpose, and love often show up in places the world least expects. I hope this conversation encourages you to fight for the dignity of all people, and I hope what Mia Armstrong and Shane Gillis share about the reality of Down Syndrome resonates with you as much as it did with me. 💛 Every life has worth. Every life has purpose.

California... are you okay? 👀🌴 In what might be the most shocking political plot twist of 2026, Steve Hilton is leading in the governor's race, Spencer Pratt is giving Karen Bass a real run for her money, and huge parts of California are suddenly looking a whole lot redder than anyone expected. But before conservatives start booking victory vacations to Malibu, there's one problem: California's election system. From voter ID controversies to burned ballot boxes and eyebrow-raising voting procedures, plenty of people are asking whether the results in November will actually reflect what voters want. Is California turning red? Is Spencer Pratt really the political outsider nobody saw coming? And what on earth is happening in Los Angeles?

Ever had a horrible landlord and thought, “Man, someone should just take this building away from them”? Well congratulations, because that’s what NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants to do. Mamdani says that buildings suffering from “chronic neglect” could be taken from current owners and transferred to “responsible stewards” — meaning community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves — all in the name of creating more affordable housing in New York City. And if history has taught us anything, it’s that governments deciding who deserves to own property has NEVER gone horribly wrong… right? If we haven't learned anything from history, let me tell you, this is a TERRIBLE idea.

As American politics has become volatile, violent, and downright depressing for most of us, I am currently LIVING FOR the sheer fun factor of Spencer Pratt’s historic run for Mayor of Los Angeles, California. I’ll never call myself an LA lover–if anything, I’ve been a pretty vocal hater toward California after growing up in Colorado, and seeing the devastating impact of "Californication" that caused my once great state to lead the race to the bottom. BUT–LA is still worth saving. And if she’s going to be saved, it’s going to take a bold, creative, and hopeful leader like Spencer Pratt at the helm. If you’re an Angeleno, are you voting for Spencer Pratt? Let us know in the comments! 👇👇 Ep. 160 - - - Today's Sponsors: Helix Sleep - Visit https://helixsleep.com/isabel for this exclusive offer.
