Iran is facing an increasingly severe economic and military squeeze as sanctions, financial isolation, trade restrictions, and attacks on its military infrastructure cut the country off from the global economy. The strategy resembles an economic “Anaconda Plan,” gradually depriving Iran of oil revenue, foreign currency, industrial parts, weapons, fuel, and access to international markets while […]

Candace Owens is declaring victory after her debate with Andrew Wilson—but did the debate actually prove any of her biggest claims? The Chicks break down the most explosive moments, including questions surrounding Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, Israel, Erika Kirk, the evidence Candace says she has, and why the hosts think some of her answers created […]

Erick Erickson explains what the media is getting wrong about President Trump cutting back joint military exercises with South Korea: the real driver is a Seoul government drifting toward China, not an attempt to woo Kim Jong-un, and Trump keeps undermining a defensible decision with his own social media. He walks through Peggy Noonan's Wall […]

Erick Erickson makes his sharpest case yet against Vice President JD Vance, arguing that Vance is to economics what Candace Owens is to the Charlie Kirk assassination: a professional contrarian who lands on the fringe answer and calls it heterodoxy. Erick plays three separate Vance clips (a think tank, the Senate floor, and Fox News) […]

Erick Erickson devotes the first half of the hour to a story he says you should know even if you do not want to: Jason Arday, the Cambridge University sociology professor and serial fabulist who took his own life after the Guardian, the Times Higher Education, and the Daily Telegraph unraveled a biography that was […]

What will it take to confront antisemitism at America's elite universities?

The Chicks sit down with Zach Abraham of Bulwark Capital Management to talk about “loud budgeting,” why saying “that's not in my budget” should be completely normal, and how honest conversations about money can lead to better financial decisions.

The shocking suicide of the fraudulent Jason Arday alongside the Atlantic cover story about how a mostly leftist scholar “of color” (Tyler Austin Harper) quit his tenure track job at Bates College because he couldn't stand “the insufferable hypocrisy of elite academia,” ought to be the last straw for our nation's tolerance for a completely […]

Nearly three years after October 7th, Glenn and John McWhorter host two guests with sharply opposing views on Israel and Gaza — in succession rather than debate, to prioritize clarity over conflict.

Erick Erickson wades into the fight between Ben Shapiro and The Federalist's John Daniel Davidson over whether the American dream still works, and answers with a date: ten years ago his wife would be dead, because the lung cancer treatment that saved her did not exist yet. Using C.S. Lewis and the fifteenth Screwtape letter, […]

Stacey Abrams sits down with Kamala Harris and declares that the South has lived under soft authoritarianism since 1776 and that America has backdoored its way to a new Jim Crow, and Erick Erickson, who served on the city council in Macon, Georgia, answers with the Jim Crow signage still hanging in his city's terminal […]

For once, we can all agree with AOC: Woke 1 was crazy. But rather than laugh it off and set the stage for “true woke has never been tried,” perhaps we could ask the youths to learn from their mistakes. To that end, we were pleased to chat with Evan Barker, a former fundraiser who […]

Tucker Carlson and a group of MAGA conservatives are reportedly considering a possible third-party movement ahead of 2028. The history of third-party campaigns shows how they can split an ideological coalition and hand victory to the opposing party, from Theodore Roosevelt and the Bull Moose Party to Ross Perot and Ralph Nader. The proposed movement […]

Erick opens on the Wall Street Journal's tariff refund story (over 40 S&P 500 companies reporting some $9.6 billion, with Apple near $2.2 billion, Nike at $986 million, FedEx at $800 million, Amazon at $640 million, and GM at $500 million after the Supreme Court struck the tariffs) and skewers the populists who swore tariffs […]

Erick argues that precedent matters, tracing how Democrats spent decades using lawsuits and court settlements (California's Proposition 8, the state's refusal to defend it, Bill Clinton's illegal immigration consent decree, and Anthony Kennedy's Obergefell ruling) to bind future governments, and how the Trump Justice Department has now learned the same trick by declining to appeal […]

Erick digs into a troubling defense story: in the Combined Resolve war games in Germany, Ukrainian drone operators wiped out a US armored brigade every single time, exposing how far behind America has fallen even as Reaper drones run low and Iran picks off the rest. He ties it to a missile production problem (the […]

A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision addressing birthright citizenship has renewed debate over one of the most consequential questions in immigration policy for any nation: Who should be entitled to citizenship?

Many thought communism was over with the fall of the Soviet Union, but it is obvious to everyone now that communism never left.

From JFK appointing his brother as Attorney General to Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and Stacey Abrams denying election results, the historical record shows the Left has followed every play in their weaponization playbook. The Left's outrage at Trump's recent appointment of Todd Blanche as Attorney General was another prime example that their accusations almost always […]

Erick walks through a sobering Washington Post editorial on America's fiscal reckoning: with Social Security projected insolvent by 2032 and the Medicare Hospital Insurance Trust Fund by 2033, demographics and mandatory spending are driving the country toward a debt cliff that no war or recession created. He revisits Mitch McConnell's “we will not fix it […]

Join Federalist Editor-In-Chief Mollie Hemingway and Washington Examiner Senior Writer David Harsanyi as they discuss how left-wing politicians and media are trying to cover up the history of wokeness and its champions, why AOC's fertility advice is horrible for women, and how importing un-American ideology has corroded our politics.

Portland was once held up as a model of urban America: a walkable, vibrant city known for parks, restaurants, breweries, and a thriving downtown. Today, record office vacancies, rampant homelessness, drug use, and shuttered businesses have turned the City of Roses into a warning for other American cities. So what happened? On this episode of […]
