Nothing is more important to this born and raised Illinoisan working mom of three small children than the future of this great country. Annie may be a millennial, but she's far from the caricature. Proving that young people can harness attributes of self-determination, hard work, and true conservatism, Annie loves discussing the latest news and events with people of all walks of life. Don't agree? Great! Love what she's saying? Perfect! The Annie Frey Show is Younger. Smarter. Better.

Yes, it's happening, and you probably didn't even know it. Well, most of us didn't. We talk to Taylor Riggs about the economy, including how much money the World Cup brings into the USA, and Jim Carafano about how Trump is situating the country for 2028 and beyond.

In the battle between these two forces, who wins? We discuss praying specific prayers, and which is scarier: Going into space, or going to the bottom of the sea? Ryan says Ghost Houses are scarier than both.

That trillionaire's name? Elon Must. Yep, Elon Must. Ever heard of him? I'm pretty sure I spelled his name right. He launched Spase X and bought Twister. He's a trillionaire. Meanwhile, Taylor Riggs is on Fox Business and knows more than me.

Yes, really! Taylor Riggs from Fox Business starts the hour with us and drops that nugget in the middle of the interview. It's something we haven't paid nearly enough attention to!

Did scientists really make sourdough bread out of the stuff in a mummy's gut? Did a Pride Month cartoon really include a lesbian in a hijab? You'll be amazed when you hear!

Listen to Jim Carafano of the Heritage Foundation explain why America will be better off than ever in 2028, no matter who becomes president, based on what Donald Trump is doing now.

It's a lie though, we do kinda care, especially when the USA plays. It's World Cup time, and we have Jim Carafano in this hour to talk about other things than that, specifically, Iran.

Iran is close to a deal, but...really? Then, we invite you to share your unspoken rules for men, and you deliver big time. Some of them are highly, specifically personal, so of course we share those as quickly as possible.

A full slate today with Hans Von Spakovsky on the Federal government's intentions to scrutinize California's elections, JD Vance will appear on the View, and Kayleigh Kozak gives us her abuse story, and why it could change national laws.

The Chief Congressional Correspondent for Fox News is here to give the details of a FISA intelligence bill that's been hammered out precariously between the two parties.

"I knew I had to do something about it," says Kayleigh, after sharing her own sexual abuse story. This issue now heads to congress.

A mail in ballot sent to every voter in the state? This can't be real. But it's the way California does elections, with literally millions of ballots floating around without much of a thought to where they go, or who could handle them.

We discuss this with Chad Pergram, then Ryan waffles on the poll question, siting the 1961 anti-trust law that has a carve out for the NFL. Maybe we're over thinking this. Maybe we're under thinking this!

And, JD Vance will appear on the View next week! Must see TV? We'll cover it for sure! So just keep it here, and you'll also hear about unspoken rules for men in Wiggins America, and election integrity- an update from Hans Von Spakovsky.

Or are you winging it? OR, do you believe it won't be there? There's a report out now suggesting it won't be solvent in 7 years. So...let's talk about that and interview Rod Blagojevich, former IL GOV, along with Rep. Jason Smith and Tyler O'Neil from the Daily Signal.

ICE is now funded through the end of Trump's term, and at what cost? Democrats holding up funding for over 150 days? Who gained what from this standoff?

Can you believe there's going to be no NFL in Missouri or Illinois soon? And how about this: Mushrooms that cure Alzheimer's. These are a few of the topics, and more, which you will need a code word to listen to in this hour.

The destruction this map caused from this corrupt organization is tough to quantify, but Tyler O'Neil is here from the Daily Signal with some investigative journalism to catch the eye.

Still discussing the poll today regarding Social Security, our text line is all over the place with comments. One person says, "Retirement plan? What retirement plan?" Bob and Tammy Kershaw speak to it at the end of the hour.

Trump is playing the long game and isolating Iran economically, while the world economy adjusts to no Hormuz. "They keep playing us for suckers," says the President, referring to, mostly, past Presidents' foibles. Former IL governor Rod Blagojevich joins us this hour!

It strikes us that Democrats could say things like this, at any time, if they had a backbone (and believed in it.) Former IL Governor Rod Blagojevich is here to pointedly dismiss modern Democrats, who are "communists and Bolsheviks." And listen to the person he regrets hiring most.

The NBA leans left, no surprise there. But this President is going to the game anyway. What in the name of Mark Cuban is he thinking? We ask you today, should the President be going to playoff games? And Jim Talent sets the record straight on the strait, and why we're leaving it be.

Putting themselves out of business by eradicating racism isn't an option. There are many groups in America who THRIVE on it. Also, Xs and Ys discusses the stealing of hoodies from women, and the male victims they hurt.

It's happening right under our noses, but Iran doesn't see it. The problem is, neither does most of America. Want to know more and see it for yourself? Listen to Jim Talent, up first in this hour, and you will.

Yes, there's a long term strategy here! You can see it if you are in the know, and you know what? Jim Talent is about to put you in the know.

"A team in search of a curse." Which team is Nate Foy of Fox News talking about? A hint, they're from New York City.

The NBA leans left, but ol' Trump don't care. He's going in! We also share Bulger stories and Mamdani is ok with the President at the Knicks game.

The Art of the Deal was not written with fundamental Islam in mind, or...was it? It seems we're no closer to a deal with Iran, possibly because they don't want one. So what's a President to do?

It's time for a prognosis on the COVID era. There are some things we still talk about, which were major problems, but many we've forgotten, which need a fresh set of eyes.

There is a competitive streak to men when driving. It doesn't always come out, but when it does, look out! Also, Cards sweep the Reds and SLU will face MIzzou in men's basketball.

The far left controls the party, it seems. Tomorrow we will find out if Graham Platner will be the nominee for Democrats in Maine, despite a whole hefty bag full of scandals.

We have Japan gifting America 250 cherry blossom trees in honor of our 250th birthday, and a horrible mosquito story about bloodsuckers that are now attracted to a certain kind of repellent!

Tim Walz says red states are just as bad. Is he admitting his state is bad? Is it bad to go after whistleblowers who were trying to stop fraud the whole time? Sure seems like it. Dustin Grage is a columnist for Town Hall based in Minnesota.

Negotiating with Iran should look like us telling them what their position will be, and that's it. They do not care about making a deal, they only want to drag it out. So let's lower gas prices and do what needs to be done.

Which tip button do you press when paying at the counter? We also welcome Steve Hytner, better knowns as Kenny Bania from Seinfeld on the show, and the #1 Trump Impersonator in the world joins us, Shawn Farash.

Should we, then, leave JB Pritzker behind? You will be shocked to know we think he might be a governor we'd vote against. Also, the toughest age to parent, and why Annie brings up killing twice in one segment, unprovoked!

How often does Steve Hytner hear, "It's gold, Jerry!?" Fairly often! Listen to how he created the character in person at the audition, and how many other really wild projects he's a part of right now.

He's a political guy, who does comedy, who comes from politics, but is very funny!?! Shawn Farash has done his impersonation of Trump to the man himself, and he's here with us today.

An hour of comedy starts with Shawn Farash, and ends with Steve Hytner, famous for his Kenny Bania character on Seinfeld. He's in town tonight and tomorrow at the Funny Bone.

Thankful to be Christians, gratitude to be an American, Steve Cortes is a former Trump Campaign Operative. "There are real problems though," he says, and behold, offers solutions.

We've been so conditioned to think otherwise for so long now, that it feels like a breath of fresh air to say, hey, this is a good place with good people. Why do so many want to destroy it, internally?

It's faux sure! We take your calls today on the necessity of a 4-year-degree, and spoiler: Many, many of your are making good money without one. Also, a dreadful and eerie discussion about the tunnels beneath the city of St. Louis, and the macabre way people use them...
