As President Trump prepares to visit flood-ravaged Texas, the hosts deliver the kind of tough, no-nonsense coverage that listeners trust.
Marc Cox hosts Dr. William Forstchen, author of One Second After, discussing the impending film adaptation of his bestselling novel about an EMP attack that could cripple America. Forstchen breaks down how a nuclear EMP detonated in space could instantly shut down all electronics, leading to catastrophic power failures and societal collapse—potentially killing up to 80% of the population within a year. The book—and soon the movie—drives home the frightening reality that modern America is shockingly vulnerable, with no meaningful civilian protections in place. The discussion also covers the collapse of law and order, survival challenges like food shortages and the collapse of currency (which turns to bullets), and the vital importance of preparation. Forstchen and Marc underscore the failure of government to adequately address this threat, the dangers of dependence on technology, and the urgent need for Americans to get serious about readiness. The film is set to begin shooting in Bulgaria this fall with a release planned for late spring or early summer next year.

Onder breaks down how Democrats are lying about Medicaid cuts, clarifying the bill's real reforms: ending double billing across states, modest work requirements, and removing illegal immigrants from the rolls. Plus, he warns against federal overreach in AI regulation, defends Texas flood response from anti-Trump spin, and demands common sense over political theater.
National security takes center stage as Jim Carafano of The Heritage Foundation joins Marc to sound the alarm on a dangerous provision buried in the latest defense authorization bill—a Democrat-backed moratorium that could cripple U.S. military innovation in AI while giving China the upper hand. Carafano warns this political stunt could stall vital advancements in defense tech and calls for lawmakers to wake up before it's too late. Marc backs the urgency, connecting it to broader concerns—from Claire's gut-wrenching testimony on gender surgeries at 14 to DOJ subpoenas hitting clinics involved in child transitions.

In today's In Other News segment, Marc, Kim & Ethan dive into the absurd and unbelievable—from Pittsburgh's annual “Balls Out Bowling” nudist event (yes, it's real) to a court decision blocking a rule that would've finally made canceling gym memberships and subscriptions as easy as signing up. Kim vents about her own impossible-to-cancel magazine, while Marc blasts corporate gamesmanship. Then, a California woman's home becomes a dumping ground for hundreds of unwanted Amazon returns thanks to a shady Chinese vendor. Wrapping up, the crew reacts to the sad yet avoidable story of an elderly Florida man killed trying to save a turtle on a highway—along with a blunt PSA from Marc: don't swerve for animals on the road.

Evans highlights Missouri's ESA program that funds not only private schooling but also homeschooling, tutoring, and therapies, which recently expanded thanks to a $50 million state appropriation—though it faces legal challenges from the Missouri NEA. Despite a Republican supermajority in Missouri, progress is slowed by legislative filibusters and opposition from some GOP members. Governor Kehoe's commitment to rewriting the school funding formula and increasing portability shows promise, but the fight continues amid union lawsuits and regulatory threats, especially concerning homeschooling freedoms. Evans underscores that many teachers support school choice and that competition benefits both students and educators.

Kim Thone Visentine, co-founder of the Coldwater Creek Group, joins the show to discuss a hard-won victory after 15 years pushing for recognition and compensation for those exposed to radioactive waste in the St. Louis region. Thanks to the recent expansion of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) included in the “big beautiful bill,” residents from 20 affected ZIP codes—including Coldwater Creek, Weldon Springs, and Westlake—are now eligible for financial compensation and medical bill coverage related to radiation-linked cancers.
