Karol Markowicz sits down with Miriam “Mock” Weaver and Amy Jo “Daisy” Clark of Chicks on the Right for a candid conversation about the growing divisions inside conservative media, speaking out when it’s unpopular, and what they believe is happening to the American right. Mock and Daisy explain why they were willing to publicly criticize prominent conservative voices including Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, why authenticity has been central to Chicks on the Right’s success, and how they built a fiercely loyal audience over more than 17 years of political commentary. They also share the unlikely story of how Chicks on the Right began, their transition from corporate careers to blogging, radio and podcasting, and why patriotism remains at the heart of their show. Karol, Mock and Daisy also debate where America could be headed over the next five years, the political divide between left and right, the influence of AI and technology on culture, the future of younger generations, and whether Americans have reason to be optimistic about the country. Plus, Mock opens up about resilience after suffering a stroke and losing her son, while Daisy discusses family, gratitude and the importance of continuing to learn at every stage of life. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about conservative media, friendship, resilience, patriotism and why Mock’s advice remains simple: never bet against America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with National Review staff writer Jeffrey Blehar for a wide-ranging conversation about politics, music, media, and the future of American culture. Blehar shares his unconventional path from practicing law to political commentary, explains why authenticity matters more than partisan loyalty, and discusses the philosophy that guides his writing. The conversation also explores Blehar's popular Political Beats podcast, where political personalities leave politics behind to discuss their favorite music. Together, Karol and Jeff examine whether it's possible to separate artists from their political beliefs and why music can transcend ideology. Finally, Blehar offers his predictions for America's future, warning about increasing political polarization, the erosion of reading and literacy, and a culture increasingly driven by podcasts, video, and social media instead of books. He closes with a reminder not to make politics your religion—a lesson he believes is essential for preserving perspective in today's polarized world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tucker Carlson has stayed at the center of political and media conversation over the past few days, largely through new episodes of his online show, ongoing fallout from past controversies, and his continued role as a prominent voice on the right. According to recent coverage from outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post, and Axios, Carlson has been using his current platform, “Tucker Carlson Network,” to push long-form interviews with populist politicians, culture-war commentators, and figures skeptical of the Republican establishment. These episodes, released primarily on X and his own site, have kept him deeply involved in the 2026 campaign narrative, with segments focused on immigration, crime, and the direction of the GOP. Politico reports that his commentary is frequently amplified by conservative influencers and sitting Republicans, reinforcing his status as a key opinion shaper even though he is no longer on Fox News. Several major news organizations, including CNN and NBC News, have recently highlighted fresh reactions from Democrats and traditional conservative critics who argue that Carlson's rhetoric continues to blur the line between commentary and conspiracy, particularly on issues like elections and foreign policy. These critics warn that his reach on social platforms still rivals or exceeds that of many cable shows, keeping debates alive about his influence on political polarization and disinformation. On the legal and professional front, coverage from outlets such as Reuters and the Wall Street Journal indicates that the major Dominion and Smartmatic defamation battles remain focused primarily on Fox, but filings and reporting continue to revisit Carlson's role in the events that led to his departure. While there have been no major new lawsuits targeting him personally in the last few days, ongoing document releases and commentary pieces keep his name in the broader discussion of media responsibility and the 2020–2021 post-election period. In terms of public appearances, Carlson has recently appeared at conservative conferences and closed-door donor gatherings, according to reporting by Bloomberg and the Hill, where he has framed himself as independent from corporate media and praised alternative platforms as the future of political communication. At these events, he has interacted with a mix of GOP candidates, media personalities from outlets like The Daily Wire and Megyn Kelly's show, and online-first figures on X and Rumble, reinforcing an ecosystem that increasingly bypasses traditional television. Commentary in places like the Atlantic and Columbia Journalism Review over the past few days continues to debate Carlson's broader impact: whether his move to digital has weakened mainstream gatekeeping, how his style of combative interviewing shapes public expectations of journalism, and whether his prominence signals a lasting shift away from conventional cable news toward personality-driven networks built around a single figure.

Steve Hilton has lived many lives: a key strategist to former British Prime Minister David Cameron, a populist Fox News host, and — after renouncing his UK citizenship — the Republican nominee in California's gubernatorial race. Max and Ben ask him about a career that has intertwined politics and media at every turn, why he succeeded in a primary where Spencer Pratt failed, and how he balances conservative media's portrayal of California with a campaign to lead the state. They also discuss whether David Ellison's Paramount would really flee Hollywood, what people get wrong about the Murdochs, and what he really thinks about the character he inspired on The Thick of It.

Story of the Week (DR):Big Media Dictatorship Craziness MMJustice Department Decision to Allow Paramount Deal Surprised Staff Investigators and US approval of Paramount/Warner Bros. deal surprised DOJ lawyers and The UFC's Despicable Night at the White House Senior Justice Department officials suddenly closed an eight-month antitrust investigation and approved Paramount's $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, shocking career staff attorneys who were preparing to recommend a lawsuit to block it.DOJ investigators worried the combined company's massive debt would prevent it from honoring its promise to release 30 movies annually. However, senior leadership dismissed the debt concerns, arguing the merger would beneficially create a stronger rival to streaming giants like Netflix.The unexpected approval has drawn intense criticism from lawmakers, notably Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who suggested the green light from the administration was politically motivated and stated the decision "reeks of corruption."The deal also faces regulatory hurdles at the FCC; despite Chairman Brendan Carr's support, the merger requires a special FCC waiver due to significant equity stakes held by sovereign wealth funds in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.While the federal government has stepped aside, the mega-merger still faces strict, ongoing antitrust scrutiny from the European Union and potential lawsuits from several state Attorneys General (including California) who insist the merger is not a done deal.Comcast Class A Shareholders Reject $107M Co-CEO Pay as Stock Slid 20%Brian Roberts 34% of vote42% no on pay with Roberts: 80% no without David Zaslav 2025 Pay Rejected By WBD Shareholders In Non-Binding Vote84% no for his $165MNo major shareholder: On the verge of being acquired by the EllisonsFox Corp to acquire Roku in $22B dealFox increased CEO/Chair Lachlan K.

We take this seriously, recognizing it stems from structural weaknesses in our organizational monitoring. Moving forward, we are fully committed to ensuring safety and restoring trust by strengthening our inspection procedures and implementing company-wide reforms."Japan Airlines responded by implementing disciplinary measures affecting both frontline staff and senior management.CEO Mitsuko Tottori, the first female to lead the company after joining as a flight attendant herself in 1985, accepted a 30% reduction in salary for two months, while other executives also received temporary pay cuts as part of the company's internal accountability process.Safety manager Yukio Nakagawa and cabin services manager Junko Nakano will each take a 20% salary reduction for one month.Meanwhile, all other directors will receive a 10% pay cut over the same period.Alongside executive action, the airline introduced a stricter policy banning alcohol consumption during layovers for more than 6,000 flight attendants.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing what may be the most consequential political moment of Donald Trump's career. With Trump's approval ratings slipping, the Iran conflict escalating, renewed questions surrounding the Epstein files, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk continuing to reverberate through the conservative movement, many Americans are asking whether these events are isolated, or part of a much larger story.In this episode, I examine the connections I believe may exist between these developments, including my view that the Epstein files may have been used as leverage against powerful political figures and that foreign interests have exerted significant influence over American policy in the Middle East.We'll discuss:Trump's declining support among his baseThe growing controversy surrounding U.S. involvement with IranThe unanswered questions surrounding the Epstein filesThe political impact of Charlie Kirk's assassination and its aftermathWhy I believe these stories intersect in ways the mainstream media refuses to exploreMy goal is not to tell you what to think, but to encourage you to question narratives, follow incentives, and examine who benefits from the decisions being made in Washington.--https://www.bible.com/

Folks, this week's primaries delivered a thunderous message: the American people are done with obstruction and are holding Republicans accountable to the America First mandate.In this hard-hitting episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings breaks down the decisive ousting of Thomas Massie in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District. Voters chose America First fighter Ed Gallrein — a farmer and former Navy SEAL — over the incumbent whose record of voting against border security, DHS funding, ICE deportations, and key tax relief directly blocked the 2024 landslide agenda.This is the Trump Effect working exactly as designed: real accountability so the party finally delivers results instead of gridlock.Doug also torches the “kook-speak” flooding conservative media this morning — the commentators who admit “I don't know what's going on” yet scream “the system is rigged” and “this must be 5D chess” for clicks and revenue. This kind of intellectual malpractice distracts from the real momentum and insults the intelligence of engaged voters.Powerful, fact-based analysis, historical perspective, behind-the-scenes insight, and genuine conservative hope: the America First agenda is moving forward, the movement is maturing, and the best days for the republic are still ahead.✅ If you're tired of the kooks and love results-driven conservatism, drop a review on your podcast app, subscribe, and share this episode.Follow The Right Side on YouTube: @TheRightSideDougBillings  for the full video version and daily updates.  And follow Doug on X and TruthSocial: @DougBillings

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we discuss the political attacks surrounding Thomas Massie, growing concerns over foreign lobbying influence in American politics, and why millions of Americans feel their government no longer represents them.We also discuss the continued secrecy surrounding the Epstein case and why the American people are demanding full transparency, the complete unredacted Epstein files, and lawful accountability for every individual involved regardless of status or political connections.As corruption, manipulation, and moral decay continue spreading through powerful institutions, Americans must hold tightly to their God-given Constitutional rights, speak truth boldly, and refuse to surrender their freedoms out of fear.Truth matters. Justice matters. And no one should be above the law.--https://www.bible.com/

On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with David Reaboi—policy expert and author of the upcoming book Viral Libels—for a deep dive into what he calls the growing crisis inside conservative media and political culture. Reaboi argues that the rise of social media and the “podcastification” of politics has blurred the line between entertainment and reality—fueling conspiracy thinking, weakening critical reasoning, and reshaping how millions of Americans understand the world. From the influence of major podcast platforms to the normalization of once-fringe ideas, the conversation explores how we got here—and whether there’s a way back. They also examine the role of foreign influence campaigns, the collapse of trust in institutions, and why viral misinformation may be more dangerous than ever in shaping public opinion. Can the conservative movement course-correct? Or are we entering a new era of information chaos?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 15th Ward alderman has long been a vocal and complex figure in the City Council. With roots in the Democratic machine, Lopez emerged as a tough-on-crime ward politician more than a decade ago and has evolved into an outspoken council independent.

There have been no major new statements, interviews, or public appearances by Tucker Carlson in the past few days. His Tucker Carlson Network continues to stream exclusive content, including recent episodes discussing global politics and media bias, but no fresh projects or launches were announced this week. Reactions to his prior comments on election integrity and government overreach persist online, with supporters praising his influence on conservative discourse while critics, including mainstream outlets like CNN, accuse him of amplifying division without new rebuttals emerging recently.No legal or professional developments involving Carlson have surfaced, such as lawsuits or network shifts. Discussions around his role in media and politics remain steady, with podcasts like The Social Media Breakdown noting how figures like him drive platform engagement amid AI distrust and news consumption shifts, where social media now tops TV as a primary source per Sprout Social's Q1 2026 survey. His influence fuels debates on free speech versus misinformation, especially among Gen Z users showing mixed trust levels.Carlson has had no reported significant interactions with other public figures lately, though his network's archives highlight past exchanges with politicians like Vivek Ramaswamy. Overall, the media landscape shows a quiet period for Carlson, underscoring his enduring impact on right-leaning audiences amid broader digital fractures.Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast.

Annika Brockschmidt sits down with historian AJ Bauer to dismantle the long-standing myth that the "liberal media" narrative was a natural reaction to biased reporting. Bauer, drawing from his book Making the Liberal Media, traces a century-long strategic project that began not with an outcry against progressivism, but with conservative efforts in the 1930s and 40s to flip a then-right-leaning press. From the grassroots mobilization of oil tycoon HL Hunt's Facts Forum to the calculated exploitation of the Fairness Doctrine, Bauer reveals how the American Right didn't just abandon mainstream journalism—they systematically built a parallel media universe by borrowing tactics from the very progressive reformers they claimed to oppose. The conversation dives deep into the ideological split between William F. Buckley's quest for respectability and the John Birch Society's alternative infrastructure, showing how both paths converged to create the modern conservative media machine. Bauer explains how the "objectivity imperative" of the 20th century actually left mainstream journalists vulnerable to right-wing pressure, forcing them to constantly look over their "rightward shoulder" to prove their lack of bias. By the time the Fairness Doctrine was abolished in 1987, the groundwork had been laid for the rise of Rush Limbaugh and Fox News, ultimately transforming conservative media from a movement tool into an independent power source that paved the way for the Trump era.

Why do Republicans keep winning elections — but conservative policies never seem to flow? In this explosive episode, I break down the biggest problem in American politics today: the conservative movement's shockingly low expectations for Republican leaders. I begin with analyzing Trump's five priorities and the missed opportunities and low expectations. I'm joined by Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison, who exposes how many Republican politicians campaign as conservative insurgents. But once in power, they empower Democrat policies, expand government, and then demand voters support them anyway to “beat the Democrats” — the very same Democrats they've empowered! If conservatives want real change, they must raise their expectations and demand accountability from their own party. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Steve Bannon is having a very bad month. A Missouri investor named Andrew Bar has filed a lawsuit against Bannon and fellow MAGA operative Boris Epstein over the now-defunct FJB coin cryptocurrency, alleging nearly $59,000 in losses on a $60,000 investment. Hawk walks through the details of the FJB coin operation, including the suspicious 8% transaction fee structure that promised charitable donations to causes like veterans care but allegedly redirected funds to high-risk investments in obscure coins. With $2.7 million in transaction fees reportedly unaccounted for and investor wallets frozen since early 2025, the lawsuit is seeking class action status.This is not Bannon's first financial scandal. He was pardoned by Trump after a federal indictment tied to the fraudulent We Build the Wall fundraiser, which raised tens of millions in small-dollar donations from Trump supporters before Bannon and associates allegedly pocketed the money. He later pleaded guilty to felony fraud charges at the state level brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, and served four months in federal prison for contempt of Congress.Meanwhile, newly released Jeffrey Epstein files reveal that on the very day Epstein was arrested for sex trafficking in July 2019, Bannon was texting him about filming a documentary on Epstein Island. Months earlier, Bannon had advised Epstein to "crush the pedophilia trafficking narrative." The texts have triggered a wave of condemnation from figures across the conservative media landscape, including Elon Musk, Roger Stone, and radio host Erick Erickson. MAGA is turning on one of its own.

From The Washington Post to CBS, mass layoffs, shifts in editorial direction and even direct interference in coverage are raising questions about whether the press can still hold power accountable, from their own bosses to the current administration. As reporters leave and subscribers drop, we look at the challenges the fourth estate is facing and the ways the right wing is expanding its influence over U.S. media.

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson covers the conversations people don't want to have, but that won't go away just because they're uncomfortable.We start with the newly released Epstein files and why their implications are being downplayed, rushed past, or deliberately blurred by our government. Then we address the circulating TPUSA / Erika Kirk / Charlie Kirk assassination-related news, breaking down what has actually been reported, what remains unclear, and why responsible people should care about facts, timelines, and accountability (as Candace Owens does). Truth matters, not carefully crafted false narratives.I also speak candidly about Trump's failures because blind loyalty helps no one, and criticism is not betrayal. If leadership is going to demand trust, it has to earn it. Same goes for respect.Finally, because many of you have asked, I address some personal matters: ongoing unwanted attention from men I have clearly and firmly removed from my life, including an individual by the name of Timothy Ronald C. (I will reveal his full legal name publicly if he does not leave me alone) and an ex whose post-NFL career implosions are not my responsibility to manage, nor care about.To be clear: this is not “dragging” solely for entertainment purposes. This is about boundaries I have made (which are very known). I am in a happy, healthy relationship, I have moved on, and these men will never see me again.This episode is about truth, discernment, and refusing to be bullied—politically, culturally, or personally—into silence.This is America, home of the brave and land of the FREE.--https://www.bible.com/

   What if I told you there's a conservative broadcaster that owns his own media company and is seen as a controversial outsider by members of old school, liberal media and politicians?  What if he was the kind of plain spoken truth teller unafraid of what anyone thinks?     If we aren't talking about your humble host, you'd probably think this would be a really great person to have on KKHI.    Meet Scott Faughn, publisher of www.themissouritimes.com.  He just purchased three more newspapers in Missouri and has his finger on the pulse of everything going on in the Show-Me state.  He knows the governor well.  And yes, he's a Cardinals fan.  You may even hear us spar over the 1985 World Series a smidge.  But we also talk about no income tax, the state of life in KC vs. St. Louis and Trump's tariffs upsetting Missouri farmers.   You're going to enjoy this one

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm calling out a problem no one wants to confront: the normalization of partying, drinking, and casual sex especially among so-called “conservative influencers.”You cannot claim to defend Western Civilization while publicly celebrating the very behaviors that destroyed past civilizations. Conservatism without morality is just aesthetic rebellion.We don't need more clout, cocktails, or compromised values. We need a return to godliness, self-discipline, and moral responsibility because the future generations watching us will inherit whatever standard we tolerate today.If we want to save the West, we have to get serious about being truly Christian again.--https://www.bible.com/

Heidi Harrison talks with Mary Vogt of the Heritage Foundation about the major political winners and losers of 2025. They highlight the Trump administration's action to cut $185 million in Minnesota funding as a victory for accountability and fiscal responsibility. The conversation emphasizes the rise of independent and conservative journalists, like Nick Shirley, who are exposing misuse of taxpayer funds despite mainstream media pushback. They also discuss the economy as a slow-burn winner, with policy moves like no tax on tips benefiting Americans. Looking ahead to the midterms, Vogt identifies economic affordability and practical policy solutions as the central issues that will resonate with voters.

Candace Owens and Erika Kirk sat down in private to discuss Candace pushing a false narrative about the death of Charlie Kirk. What happened? Who knows. Representative Jasmine Crockett and Leslie Jones continue to spiral away from reality at a dizzying pace. The FBI has been busy, busy, busy. But they will never escape the weight of their deep state ties.

The show heats up with a fiery takedown of conservative media's "beta male" hijacking: Why has the space been overrun by low-T, feminine-energy pundits who couldn't "fight their way out of a wet paper bag"? Clay ranks top figures like Ben Shapiro (super cuck), Tucker Carlson (alpha), and Joe Rogan (definite alpha), calling for more high-testosterone leaders to reclaim the fight. Guest co-host Andrew Gasser joins for hour three, diving into fatherlessness epidemics, the military as a manhood forge (especially for at-risk demographics), and how softened institutions like wrestling and Boy Scouts signal a broader assault on masculinity.

In this explosive episode, we dive into the rising tide of political violence, media bias, and government corruption threatening our nation. From viral social media posts glorifying attacks on conservative figures like Charlie Kirk to the shocking hypocrisy in how “hate speech” is defined, we unpack the dangers facing Americans who dare to speak freely. We examine real-world consequences, including corporate censorship and societal backlash, and ask the hard questions: who decides what speech is acceptable, and how far will the left go in criminalizing dissent? Our special guest, Dr. Kandiss Taylor, candidate for Georgia's 1st Congressional District, brings her unique perspective as a 22-year educator, counselor, and administrator. Known for her bold campaign slogan, “Jesus, Guns, & Babies,” Dr. Taylor shares her vision for restoring accountability in public office, protecting families, and reforming education and mental health policy. Together, we explore how faith, family, and freedom intersect with public service, and what it takes to stand firm against the rising tide of ideological extremism and government overreach. We're also covering the response of Conservative Media to Charlie's assassination. Milo Yiannopoulos, the provocative British commentator and bestselling author, as he returns to challenge mainstream narratives and defend free speech. From his fearless critiques of political correctness on college campuses to his unflinching takes on media hypocrisy. Ben Shapiro and Megyn Kelly rise to the challenge. This episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to protecting liberty, exposing corruption, and standing up for truth in a polarized world.  

Now that summer is over and Congress is back, what is the Republicans' raison d'être? Where is their vision to improve the economy? What is the plan to accomplish any campaign promise? I go through numerous cases on immigration, social issues, and tariffs to show how the courts are mowing down every last accomplishment. On the economy, not only do Republicans not have a plan, Trump continues to say prices are down. I explain how Republicans will get slaughtered in the midterms if they continue to gaslight on the economy. Meanwhile, there is no plan to get in better Republicans in the primaries, as RINOs continue to thwart Trump and get away with it. Also, there is more news on AI being a bubble and hype, yet the government continues to give the industry special favors.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
