In Part 2 of A New Contract With America, Professor Nick Giordano delivers a hard-hitting breakdown of two issues Washington refuses to touch. He exposes the truth about Social Security and Medicare insolvency and lays out real conservative solutions that protect every senior while empowering future generations with wealth and independence. He then turns to immigration and dismantles the myths surrounding border security. Professor Giordano explains how to permanently end illegal immigration and build a simplified, merit based legal system that strengthens America instead of weakening it. This episode continues the blueprint for restoring national sovereignty, fiscal responsibility, and the American spirit. Episode Highlights How to save Social Security and Medicare from collapse without cutting benefits for current retirees. The permanent immigration reforms needed to secure the border and build a merit-based legal system that serves America's interests. Why real reform requires courage, truth, and a new vision for American strength and self-reliance.

“How stupid are Democrats?” Every time we think we've hit the bottom, they break out a jackhammer and start digging like they're hoping to discover a new layer of dumb beneath the mantle. Democrats don't just make mistakes—they build entire ecosystems of stupidity. They terraform reality until rational people look around thinking, “Did I miss a memo? Did the CDC issue a stupidity outbreak warning and I forgot to mask up?”I mean, we've reached the point where an overweight farm-animal-shaped dude—complete with a fully intact factory-issued reproductive package—wins the “World's Strongest Woman” contest. That's not progress; that's performance art for people who failed high-school biology but excelled in cosplay. And the best part? The contest officials were SHOCKED. “What? He's not a woman?” Like someone told them gravity was political.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The media are so busy seeing what they want to see, they miss the real picture.I love President Trump's accessibility. And I appreciate his style. It comes off over the top, but that's how he thinks.For some, his style is off-putting, but it's Trump being Trump. Remember how unbelievably idiotic Biden was, his comments and actions, and the Left would say, “That's Biden being Biden”. Not a problem, unless he's STARTING WARS, or SELLING OUT AMERICA TO THE CHINESE!Trump being Trump means America is winning. And it means something bad is being exposed.

Democrats are finally suffering from the “Chicken Little” effect—but on steroids, fentanyl, and whatever MSNBC prescribes to keep its hosts upright.They've screamed apocalypse so many times that the public could watch a mushroom cloud bloom over the DNC Headquarters and still assume it's a TikTok filter. They lie so compulsively, with such industrial efficiency, that Americans have developed herd immunity. Nobody believes anything they say. Nor should they.And now, with their credibility stripped for scrap like a stolen catalytic converter, the Democrats are entering the stage of desperation usually reserved for contestants on COPS reruns—the moment when panic overrides intelligence and the perpetrator implicates himself while trying to blame everyone else.Recently, I wrote that Democrats are so out of lies, so tapped out of their usual identity-politics scratch-off cards, that they did the unthinkable: They stopped pulling the race card.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Donald Trump's second term has seen a deliberate push to further entrench conservative influence in the federal judiciary, building on his first-term record of confirming 234 Article III judges (including three Supreme Court justices), which shifted the courts rightward and impacted rulings on issues like abortion, voting rights, and immigration. As of November 2025, the Senate has confirmed 253 total Article III judges from his nominations across both terms, with ongoing efforts to fill 47 current vacancies. However, Trump's pace has been slower this term—his first nomination came in late April 2025, compared to a rapid start in 2017—due to fewer vacancies (thanks to Biden's 235 confirmations) and a focus on executive branch roles.

Before I continue down the path with Democrats vs reality, I have a question. Where have the pronouns gone?I talked recently about how fast Trump moves, and didn't even think about this one until recently. Trump killed pronouns in the great pronoun purge of 2025. Pronouns have fizzled out faster than a Leftist's grasp on reality. And here Leftists thought they had started a cultural revolution.The pronouns nonsense exploded on the scene. It burst in like your drunk uncle crashing your barbecue.Weirdos demanded we refer to them as "he/him," "she/her," or God forbid, "ze/zir" like it was some profound act of enlightenment? The they/them crowd got me, though. People would refer to they, and I was like “We is THEY?” Are we talking about Tina who used to be Ted?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A stunning new internal report, a nine-month, 21-state research project funded by the Democrat-aligned group Democracy Matters, has come to a conclusion so obvious it's like paying a scientist to confirm that water is, in fact, wet.The findings, published by POLITICO, reveal that working-class voters—you know, the people who actually build things, grow things, and fix things—see the Democratic Party as “woke, weak and out-of-touch.”[X] SB – Crowder lists crimes by illegalsSix in ten have a negative view of the party.

A great line from the film. "What we do in life, echoes throughout all eternity!" That line was given by Maximus to his best troops. Vishal Wagh writes:What he says is not only rousing and uplifting; it's also deeply philosophical. And going beyond its battlefield context, it is also a map that leads us to the film's thematic center, as well as Maximus' own character journey. It signifies everything that Maximus will have to face—love, loyalty, betrayal, and the ultimate test of honor.These are the words spoken by a man who is heading towards a destiny where he will lose everything, i.e., except his reputation. This single line is the reason why we still remember him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I think we are spoiled by Trump, because he acts fast. Take the drug war, for example.To be clear, I have mixed emotions about what he's doing. That said, what else has worked?Kurt Schlichter said that the US bombed ships trying to bring mustard gas to the US and mustard gas killed no one American.But drugs kill 100,000 Americans a year.Reagan got Nancy to launch, “Just say no!”, as Americans were saying, YES YES YES!We had commercials showing our brains as fried eggs, and drug addicts just asked for bacon!Trump acted. Definitively. Is it working? I don't know. But I know I would get on any boat out of Venezuela for the foreseeable future.

This week, the people of Webster Springs, West Virginia ZXZ mourn one of their own: National Guard Member Sarah Beckstrom. The 20-year old service member had volunteered to remain in Washington, DC, as part of President Trump's crackdown on crime in the district, when she was shot on Thursday by an Afghan national.

Democrats are intensely interested in stories, a pattern of intense advocacy on certain issues. This is almost always followed by silence once outcomes shift or complications arise. Democrats abandon their so-called principled stances on things more whimsical than a model changes clothes. I have many examples, like the Epstein files. How many interviews did these butt-clowns do, DEMANDING release of the Epstein files?

President Donald Trump's biggest legacy will be with the courts. And as I wrote recently, he's playing the long game better than any modern president. His second term has seen a deliberate push to further entrench conservative influence in the federal judiciary, building on his first-term record of confirming 234 Article III judges (including three Supreme Court justices), which shifted the courts rightward and impacted rulings on issues like abortion, voting rights, and immigration.

Chicago's annual Christmas tree lighting, that merry beacon of twinkling lights and festive cheer in Millennium Park, a spot that's supposed to be the crown jewel of the Windy City.

Today we are cutting through the swamp like a chainsaw through tofu. I mentioned Adam Schiff earlier, and the latest episode of his Never-Ending Audition for America's Most Wanted.You know the guy— that perpetually squinting senator from California who's spent the last decade treating Congress like his personal fanfic workshop. Remember when he swore up and down he had "direct evidence" of Trump-Russia collusion? Turns out, it was about as real as a Hollywood set: all smoke, mirrors, and a script written by his own fever dreams. The House censured him for it in 2023, called him out for peddling fairy tales that wasted millions in taxpayer dollars and turned our intelligence community into a bad spy novel. But hey, in Democrat land, lying isn't a bug—it's the operating system.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It is impossible to cover all the BS Democrats produce in a day. Democrats give us a week's worth of news in two hours. These morons are incredible. Let me give you a taste with just a list:· Jasmine Crockett used the wrong Jeffrey Epstein to accuse Republicans of getting money from the Democrats' version of Epstein—the sexual predator· A woman was burned in Chicago on mass transit, and the comments will shock you.· A Democrat Congresswoman ripped off FEMA, and her excuse is astounding· Democrats called for sedition by the US military and CIA· Democrats continue lying about Trump's relationship with Epstein, even as evidence indicts only other Democrats.· Comey tried a hail Mary and lost.· Ms Universe pageant contestant from Palestine is tied to a terrorist· Real headline: Once likely to be slaughtered, gay sheep find refuge…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Never forget. That's what we say about veterans, but they fought so that we would never forget what Democrats do, then try to move on from.There are lots of those topics.Where is the discussion about Obamacare now? Now that the government has been turned back on, Democrats have not talked a lot about healthcare from that sorry perspective. Why? Because Democrats lose on that issue.It's time for enrollment, but Democrats have gone silent.

Democrats have exposed themselves on so many levels that it's impossible for people not to know who they are. And that's a major problem.Normally in politics you will find one-issue people. But with no discussion of abortion, Democrats have forced far too many people to become multi-issue people on the side of Conservatives.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Without prejudice. Those are the key words in the situation with Comey and Big Tish. What have I told you? I told you that Leftists never rest. They commit their crimes, then look for escape hatches.Comey and Big Tish are guilty as sin. Their crimes have been revealed publicly, and the court of public opinion is judging them, harshly.All their shenanigans are to be expected. But if you think the Trump team, aka REAL justice is giving up on them, then you don't realize that WE WON in November. It is important that both these criminals are given their day in court where they will inevitably be found guilty. And they won't be sacrificial lambs, but proof that the dual-system of justice took a kick in the nuts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Troubles for the Democrats are mounting, despite their blatant lies and coverups. The media is being exposed, the most recent expose with the BBC.But it never ends.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to The Kevin Jackson Show, where we dissect the daily dumpster fire that is our news cycle without a single apology. You know, I flipped on the TV this morning, and it was like watching a horror movie marathon directed by the Marx Brothers—if the Marx Brothers were all hopped up on bad policy and worse judgment. Carnage everywhere, folks. Murders, assaults, cities turning into Mad Max realities. And guess who's holding the camera? Democrats, about 90% of the time.

I want to begin the show by letting everybody know something that has been true since man was put on earth.Life is NOT fair. And no matter what we do, life will never be completely fair.Sure we can do things to make life more bearable. We can aspire for Utopia.

Democrats are being publicly humiliated. Illegals. Trump closed the border. Over two million future Democrat voters have left the party. By which I mean, they left the country.Defection. Democrats lost over 2.1 million registered voters during the Biden era. Republicans gained five million. And yet, with a straight face, they tell you they're confident about the midterms? That's not confidence, that's a clinical diagnosis.And my personal favorite, the Epstein files. The party of “Transparency!” when it's your emails, suddenly develops a case of lockjaw when it's their own names in that little black book.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We must learn two things in the conservative movement. 1. Accept victory graciously2. Learn the smell of fearThat's why when I see somebody wearing a MAGA hat, I fist bump them or say something positive. Since when have we been in such control of things?

We are discussing how Trump is changing the political landscape. How Democrats are powerless against him. Trump has the truth on his side. And Democrats must hide the truth. They know all they have done to try to destroy America.We have a story about the BBC I will get into, and we have discussed it already, but there are more details.The Democrats hoped they could retread a story about J6 to cover that lie up. And that failed miserably.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Imagine if the USA had a taxpayer-funded media conglomerate that dominated all news reporting and televised entertainment in the USA, that was under Trump's control in the background, and that Americans were FORCED to fund with their tax dollars, would you consider that to be anything other than Cold War Pravda style tyranny?The BBC did what the media does. It lied about the news. In their case, they pulled a “Charlottesville”, reframing President Trump's actual words. Remember in the Charlottesville case multiple media outlets tried to make Trump out to be a supporter of White Nationalists. They played over and over only the partial statement by Trump, versus what he really said.

The tragic Left made up mostly of Democrats is at it again. I honestly didn't know where to begin discussing this vermin, particularly since the Epstein story has turned on the Democrats and is now kicking them squarely in their tiny nuggets.Welcome...If you are listening to this show, then you likely share many of my views, but not all.

There is always more news than any show can cover. I would love to cover only certain topics as this would make it so much easier, but I just get bored talking about the same thing.I know race issues, but I get tired of discussing them. It's impossible not to discuss race, when Democrats are so obsessed with the topic.Look at the Obamas. The biggest race pimps in America now. And with Jesse Jackson Sr having medical issues, they may get the chance to wrestle the crown from only Al Sharpton.We discussed Epstein and the latest revelations put out the fires the Democrat tried to start.We got revelations that should surprise no one, but still will!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats have screwed the pooch in many areas. Below are just a few revelations of interest:1. In 2024, the GAO documented that Department of Homeland Security officials were instructed to suppress internal data showing that the majority of “white supremacist violence” cases were not political at all, and often not white. Meaning Democrats inflated a panic out of thin air — again.2. BLM's 2020–2022 fundraising and real estate acquisitions exceeded $90 million, yet less than 10% of those funds were distributed to Black communities. Turns out the real emergency wasn't police brutality — it was BLM's accounting department.3. Multiple FOIA disclosures from 2023–24 revealed that federal agencies coordinated with social media platforms to amplify certain “crisis narratives,” including climate and COVID content, even when internal scientists rejected those claims. Manufactured chaos, government edition.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats like to push things to the limit, play “chicken” as it were. How many things have they knowingly lied about, then pretended that they were right? Many.And they play with people's lives for sport.Hearken back to COVID.They knew how this happened, but pretended they didn't. They lied about Chinese labs, and actually helped the Chinese concoct a bat story at a market.Then, they lied about how dangerous the disease was. I dare you to re-examine the numbers and the “kill ratios” they proposed. They worked the world into a frenzy, all to get money and power.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Immigration is a key part of the American story. Many, many people have come to the United States committed to loving and serving their new country.  But nations have to exercise caution and prudence with the way that they conduct immigration. Bad policy and abuses of the system can lead to all kinds of problems, as we know well here in the United States. The Second Trump Administration has gone a long way toward improving immigration policy, and one of the areas now being discussed is that of H1B visas. These are visas intended to be issued to skilled workers, but there are serious concerns about the number of visas being issued and the ways that they affect American citizens. To understand this issue, I sat down with Simon Hankinson, Senior Research Fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation.—Follow Simon Hankinson at Heritage.org: https://www.heritage.org/staff/simon-hankinsonSimon's Book, The Ten Woke Commandments You Must Not Obey: https://thetenwokecommandments.com/—Have thoughts?

Exposing the Upside Down: Power, Politics & Protection

If you missed the melodrama, the announcement was made earlier this week that the hyper-leftist source Teen Vogue was being diluted, with much of its editorial team being let go, and any lingering staff and content would be folded into the parent publication. Over the years, that portal has been the source of some aggressively left-wing content aimed at the formative class of the country, pushing everything from sex worker acceptance, abortion activism, and even heavily promoting communist positions.Now Conde Nast is mainstream...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our first story today comes from 30,000 feet in the air—literally—and yet somehow manages to scrape the bottom of humanity's barrel.A Democrat congressman—of course it's a Democrat—was caught watching porn on an airplane. On a flight. In his seat. In coach. Now look… I'm not here to kink-shame the elderly. If you're 71 and still firing up the engines, congratulations, you've officially outlived half of Biden's cabinet. But there's something uniquely disturbing about a grown man, a federal lawmaker, thinking: “You know what pairs perfectly with pretzels and recycled air? Porn.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I came across a trend on TikTok where people are complaining about a new, “degrading” trend where public humiliation is content.And I had to laugh. Not a little chuckle. A full, from-the-gut, howl.Because while these kids are just now discovering public humiliation as a form of entertainment, the Democratic Party has been treating it as a core party platform for decades. They're not just participating in it; they've achieved a PhD in self-ownage.Let's start with the headliner, the man, the myth, the… well, the mystery. Joe Biden. For his entire term, the man was a walking, talking, occasionally biking monument to public humiliation.

Does Trump act in any way like he's afraid of what might come out about him? Think about that for just a minute.Have you ever been guilty of something, and then somebody hints about knowing it? Like when you were a teenager and sneaked out, and your sibling hinted publicly about it, as you cut a mean look at him or her?Or perhaps your situation was worse, like trying to hide an affair or something? It's a universal feeling, that feeling that the hammer could fall any day.Trump has no indication of this. He forges ahead with his agenda knowing that he has nothing to hide.

Democrats are embarrassing. I honestly don't know a dumber group of people on the planet.I know that at times they seem intelligent. You run into them in their careers, and you learn to respect them. But if they find out you're not one of them, they lose their minds.For example, all the doctors and nurses who will KILL MAGA patients, if they find out who you are.

And this is why conservatives have two MUSTS over the remainder of Trump's termSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Want to know how things are going? Well, the Trump agenda remains in full swing. ICE arrests illegal truckers, and have forced Gavin Newsom's hand. Also, we learned that the BBC lied, and now face the wrath of Trump.

There are factions in any movement, and conservatism is no different. We are witnessing growth, as we watch Tucker Carlson rationalize his behavior. I'm sure many people have taken a different stance on Candace Owens, and even Ben Shapiro is trying to remain relevant. We need to discuss issues and players openly and honestly. But know that conservatism wins, no matter what. The players will shift, and you need to know who to trust and where you fit.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
