From the halls of Columbia to the streets of Los Angeles, the chaos is reaching a boiling point. Tara breaks down Lee Bright's shocking political victory against the establishment machine, exposes the deep corruption in South Carolina's “Republican” legislature, and reveals how illegal immigrant violence and media spin are pushing America toward dangerous territory. From political dark money to ICE agents under fire — this is the front line between law, order, and the radical left's agenda.

Tara dives deep into the mounting threats to Americans both domestically and internationally. From Portland's “ICE wars” with lasers, armed confrontations, and rogue courts, to Europe's escalating censorship regimes targeting 4chan, LinkedIn, and even basic scientific truths, the episode reveals a world where free speech is under siege. Add in rising political violence in North Carolina and global geopolitical maneuvering with Russia, and listeners get an unfiltered look at how law, media, and politics collide to create danger at home and abroad.

Tara dives deep into the chaos shaping modern America—from Target's controversial marketing missteps to the political rise of JD Vance and the ongoing clashes between federal law enforcement and leftist activists in cities like Portland and LA. She breaks down Target's misjudged campaigns, the “Manchurian candidate” question surrounding JD Vance, and escalating confrontations between ICE agents, Antifa, and complicit local authorities. With local political victories like Lee Bright's return to the South Carolina Senate, Tara examines the intersection of politics, culture wars, and civil unrest across the nation.

Tara exposes the alarming rise of digital totalitarianism in Europe and its creeping threat to Americans. From the UK fining 4chan, to German courts backing LinkedIn censorship of truthful COVID posts, to Switzerland imprisoning a man for stating biological facts about gender — the free speech landscape is collapsing. As U.S. tech companies comply with European censorship laws, Tara warns: what happens in Europe today could become law here tomorrow.

Tara unpacks Target's latest controversy — from LGBTQ+ and satanic-themed merch to a shocking promotion of Karl Marx's Capital in their fall fashion ads. What began as a misguided PR stunt has spiraled into yet another corporate culture war moment, showing how far big brands will go to appease the far left. Then, Tara turns to local politics with breaking news: conservative firebrand Lee Bright's victorious return to the South Carolina Senate. After years of establishment attacks and big-money campaigns against him, he's back — and ready to shake up Columbia once again.

On this episode of the podcast, renowned pollster Scott Rasmussen breaks down President Trump's remarkably steady 52% approval rating — unchanged for 29 straight weeks. Rasmussen explains how economic optimism, not policy debates is currently driving Trump's numbers, with 31% of Americans saying their finances are improving — a sharp contrast from Biden's years. He also exposes the media's dwindling influence, revealing that only 1 in 5 voters even knows a government shutdown is happening.

When lies ignite chaos, truth becomes the only defense. Tara exposes how the “Trump the dictator” narrative collapsed live on MSNBC after the liberal Ninth Circuit Court confirmed his National Guard deployment was fully legal. From Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker's incendiary claims to celebrity rants comparing Trump officials to Nazis, Tara breaks down how false talking points are radicalizing the left and leading to open calls for violence — including shocking remarks from the president of Colombia suggesting Trump should be “taken out.” The episode also dives into cartel infiltration, a massive AWS outage that revealed America's digital vulnerability, and election updates in South Carolina.

Tara dives deep into the biggest controversies the mainstream media refuses to report accurately: the Epstein files, Trump's alleged “law-breaking,” and record-breaking law enforcement results under his administration. From sealed flight logs and shocking victim accounts to Democratic governors threatening ICE without naming laws allegedly broken, Tara exposes the truth behind the headlines. The episode also highlights historic FBI and DHS arrests of violent criminals, child predators, and human traffickers, while liberal courts confirm Trump's lawful authority to deploy the National Guard. With foreign threats escalating due to political narratives, Tara untangles fact from fiction, revealing what the media and politicians hope Americans never learn.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head talks with Drew Horn, a former top U.S. official on strategic minerals and now Founder & CEO of GreenMet. The pair unpack the high-stakes race for critical minerals that power everything from smartphones to fighter jets.

The discussion wraps up with insights into a groundbreaking antimony production project that could immediately strengthen U.S. defense & tech manufacturing.You can follow Drew Horn on X by searching for his handle: @DrewHornUSA and learn more about GreenMet by visiting their website: Greenmet.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tara exposes the rising threats to American sovereignty, free speech, and security, from UN taxation schemes and global carbon taxes to European digital censorship laws targeting U.S. websites. She connects these developments to deep state power plays, including the John Bolton indictment and systemic misuse of classified data by elites. The episode examines NATO's unchecked military actions, the exploitation of U.S. equipment, and the obstruction of peace negotiations with Russia. Tara warns that losing the presidency again could mean permanent erosion of Americans' constitutional rights, highlighting how foreign bureaucracies, oligarchs, and political insiders manipulate law and media to consolidate control.

Tara dives into today's explosive news, from the Alvarado, Texas antifa terror plot and violent left-wing activism, to government shutdown chaos, budget battles, and gerrymandering scandals. She breaks down media misinformation, census manipulation, and the increasing conflation of citizenship and legality by liberal figures. From cancelled Charlie Kirk memorials to radical protests, jury nullifications, and Trump's diplomatic maneuvers with Russia, Tara connects the dots between domestic unrest, political dysfunction, and global stakes. Exposing the chaos the media ignores, one story at a time.

It's a Friday double feature — part rock tribute, part political reckoning. Tara opens with heartfelt memories of Ace Frehley, the legendary KISS guitarist whose sound defined a generation, before diving headlong into the explosive John Bolton indictment shaking Washington. She exposes how “deep state oligarchs” — from Comey to Clinton to Biden — have trafficked in classified data for power, profit, and political control. From rock gods to government elites, Tara reveals what happens when once-untouchable icons finally face judgment.

Tara dives into a whirlwind of political intrigue, exposing the stark double standards in America's justice system. From John Bolton's 18-count indictment for mishandling classified data to the selective enforcement of law for illegal immigrants and deep-state insiders, she dissects how elites operate above the rules. Along the way, she covers the U.S.'s record September budget surplus, tariffs, and the historical intent of the Founders for a small federal government. Finally, she examines Trump's controversial handling of Hamas prisoners and hostages, exposing media blind spots and geopolitical risks — all while questioning who truly controls the levers of power in Washington.

A fast-paced Friday briefing that jumps from Washington's surprising budget numbers to the geopolitics of a risky hostage swap. Tara breaks down the Treasury's eye-popping September surplus and why tariffs and economic growth matter — then pivots to an urgent critique of the deal that released thousands of jailed Hamas fighters in exchange for a handful of hostages. Mixing history (the founders' view on tariffs), policy skepticism, and on-the-ground outrage, this episode asks: did we trade security for optics — and what happens next? Money in the coffers, terror on the streets — when wins on paper collide with real-world risk.

On this special episode of the podcast, Amanda Head and her TV news co-host John Solomon broadcast a conversation from the White House with FBI Director Kash Patel.Patel details the FBI's sweeping national crackdown, Operation Summer Heat, which led to over 28,000 arrests of violent offenders — a major increase from last year under the Biden administration. The new director credits his Deputy Dan Bongino for spearheading the strategy that targeted gang networks, child exploitation rings, and the spread of fentanyl.Head and Solomon's conversation also delves into the Bureau's efforts on counterintelligence, the emerging threat of ANTIFA, and Patel's renewed emphasis on transparency and accountability within the FBI.You can tune into Amanda and John's TV news show, “Just The News, No Noise” every weekday evening at 6PM ET on the Real America's Voice Network.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Campaign cash is flowing fast in the 2026 South Carolina governor's race — but where's it coming from, and who's really benefiting? Tara breaks down the latest fundraising numbers from Nancy Mace, Alan Wilson, Pamela Evett, and Ralph Norman — revealing who's spending big, who's saving smart, and who's getting help from beyond the Palmetto State. Then, Tara and Lee dive into the darker side of today's politics, exploring the growing tolerance for violence among younger liberals and the alarming rhetoric from party leaders fueling division across the country. From campaign war chests to ideological warfare — this is politics in America today.

Tara breaks down the latest revelations surrounding January 6, exposing how Speaker Nancy Pelosi took responsibility for not deploying the National Guard, while the Pentagon and top military officials allegedly ignored President Trump's requests. She explores reports of FBI operatives disguised as protesters, “black bloc” agitators, and Antifa-style actors infiltrating the crowd. Tara connects the dots on how federal agencies may have strategically prevented arrests of violent individuals, raising serious questions about accountability, transparency, and the orchestration of events at the Capitol.

Tara exposes a growing and dangerous trend within the Left — an alarming rise in support for political violence. Citing new polling data showing that 42% of liberals — and a shocking 60% under age 30 — approve of breaking the law to achieve political goals, Tara connects the dots between rhetoric, riots, and the steady normalization of mob behavior. She unpacks Chuck Schumer's call for Americans to “rise up,” the echoes of past unrest, and the Democrats' struggle to reignite their street movements. Then, Tara pivots to the Supreme Court's pivotal Louisiana v. Callais case — a decision that could end race-based gerrymandering and shift control of up to 19 congressional seats. Finally, she tackles explosive new developments in Chicago, where ICE agents face violent mob attacks, and a liberal judge has barred them from using tear gas for defense. It's a deep dive into the chaos, control, and corruption shaping America's political landscape.

“The system isn't broken — it's rigged. And the illusion of democracy hides the theft beneath.” Republicans won a quiet landslide, yet Congress barely reflects it. Why? This episode uncovers how the 2020 Census, secret formulas, and race-based redistricting have warped political reality — costing the GOP as many as 25 seats. Harvard's own analysis exposes how statistical manipulation favored Democrat-led states, while the Supreme Court now weighs whether race-based districting still belongs in modern America. From the census controversy to redistricting battles, digital ID creep, judicial corruption in South Carolina, and cartel-linked terror in Chicago — this episode ties together a pattern of power consolidation, systemic deception, and vanishing accountability. Featuring former Senator Lee Bright, who details his fight against judicial favoritism and legislative corruption in South Carolina, this episode reveals what's really undermining voter power — and what must change to restore it.

From election results that don't match voter sentiment to fears of the dark that reveal our primal survival instincts, this episode dives into the forces shaping modern America. We unpack alleged census manipulation that could have stolen up to 25 congressional seats, explore the upcoming Supreme Court race-based redistricting case, and reveal how distorted districts affect budgets, taxation, and representation. Then, we pivot to human nature, examining why men report greater fear of the dark, the evolutionary roots of this instinct, and archaeological evidence showing the dangers our ancestors faced. Finally, we highlight emerging threats to personal freedom, including digital IDs, facial recognition, and the erosion of anonymity in America and abroad.

In this gripping episode, the host shares a deeply personal story about teaching two teenagers how to drive — and why awareness on the road can mean the difference between life and death. A tragic crash on I-85 in Georgia that claimed eight lives, including five children and a pregnant woman, becomes a sobering reminder of how distracted and reckless driving — especially among semi-truck operators — is spiraling out of control. From highway safety habits to the decline in trucking standards, this episode blends personal reflection, listener insights, and a hard look at America's driving culture.

The hosts break down the shocking declaration of a “state of emergency” in Los Angeles — not for wildfires or natural disasters, but for enforcing federal immigration law. As ICE raids remove illegal immigrants across L.A., city leaders move to funnel emergency funds into rent relief and eviction protection for those here illegally. What does this mean for landlords, taxpayers, and American sovereignty? The conversation digs deep into the ideological divide between law and lawlessness, the push toward post-American values, and even open calls for the abolition of private property.

An urgent episode investigating how the mechanics of counting people and drawing districts can reshape the nation. We unpack a Harvard analysis showing the Census Bureau's Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) and the use of differential-privacy “epsilon” methods introduced in 2020 produced biased block counts that have practical consequences for redistricting and federal funding. Then we tie that to a high-stakes Supreme Court fight over race-based redistricting now before the justices — a ruling that legal experts say could shift as many as ~19 House seats and materially change control of Congress. The hosts explain what all this means for representation, budgets, and everyday American voters — and why a technical formula ended up being a political weapons system.

A fast-paced episode that stitches together three urgent stories shaking the nation: local officials in Los Angeles declaring a state of emergency amid sweeping ICE enforcement; a devastating, fiery multi-vehicle crash on I-85 that killed eight people (including children); and the fallout from a major hostage release and large prisoner swap in the Israel-Gaza conflict. The hosts parse what “emergency” means when law enforcement, public safety, and political priorities collide — and why ordinary people feel the consequences first.

In this explosive episode, we dive deep into the tangled web of surveillance, phone data collection, and political targeting allegedly carried out by the FBI and Democrats under the guise of the January 6 investigation. From mapping the entire conservative ecosystem to spying on senators and Trump allies, we unpack the scope, the players, and the implications of these unprecedented actions. Is your private information part of the map? What does this mean for privacy, politics, and accountability in America?

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head and Aidan Johnston discuss the effectiveness of Attorney General Pam Bondi in protecting the Second Amendment. Johnston rates Bondi's performance as mixed, citing her involvement in both pro-Second Amendment actions and gun control measures. The Director of Federal Affairs of Gun Owners of America criticizes the DOJ's inconsistent stance on gun rights, advocating for more proactive measures.The pair also highlight the William Trevor case, where police entered a home without a warrant, and the Bryan Malinowski case, where law enforcement violated the Fourth Amendment.You can learn more about Gun Owners of America by visiting their website: GunOwners.org.

Lee and Tara break down what's shaping up to be one of the longest government shutdowns in U.S. history — and why Democrats are digging in their heels. From health care for illegal immigrants to calls for abolishing the filibuster, the hosts expose what they say is a calculated plan by Democrats to cripple negotiation, rewrite the rules of the Senate, and pave the way for permanent control of Washington by 2028. The episode dives deep into the “filibuster trap,” where Democrat messaging bots are already laying groundwork to pressure Republicans into eliminating one of the last safeguards for minority representation in Congress. They warn that if the filibuster falls, so too could constitutional checks and balances — opening the door to federalized elections, Supreme Court packing, and sweeping new laws on guns, speech, and gender policy. Then, the conversation takes a chilling turn as Lee and Terry analyze the next wave of political insanity — from Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker's threats to arrest ICE agents, to Democrats running openly on violent rhetoric in Virginia. As chaos grows, they argue that the mask is coming off the modern left — and America needs to see exactly what's underneath.

Tara and Lee expose a disturbing new political narrative — one where Democrat-endorsed street violence is being rebranded as “ordinary protest.” From Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker threatening to prosecute ICE agents to Barack Obama calling violent attacks “ordinary street crime,” this episode unpacks how the left is normalizing chaos and intimidation against law enforcement. The hosts trace the history of ICE operations in Chicago — an institution that's existed for over a century — and reveal how Democrats now frame arson, assaults, and even home invasions of ICE agents as acceptable political expression. They break down official filings detailing attacks with bricks, incendiary devices, and $10,000 bounties on Border Patrol officers — while Obama shrugs it off as “just crime.” As the show draws parallels to the Russian Revolution playbook and the hypocrisy surrounding January 6, Lee and Terry argue that this normalization of violence represents the next phase of political radicalization in America.

While mainstream outlets celebrate emotional footage of Israeli hostages reuniting with loved ones, Lee dives into the story they refuse to air — the 2,000 Hamas terrorists released in exchange, returning to Gaza as conquering heroes. In this explosive breakdown, he exposes how Western media sanitized the reality of this “peace deal,” the risks it poses for Israel, and the dangerous precedent it sets for U.S. national security. From Biden's hesitation to Trump's high-stakes dealings with Qatar, the episode pulls no punches in revealing what's really at stake — and why it's being buried.

In this episode, Lee breaks down the irony of Senator Lindsey Graham positioning himself as a victim of the Justice Department while having actively funded the very investigations targeting Donald Trump. From Jack Smith's political inquisition to Graham's votes for new FBI resources, Lee exposes the contradictions and consequences of trusting the “uni-party” system. Listeners will hear a detailed analysis of how political alliances can backfire, the lessons from history, and the real motivations behind Graham's public complaints. This episode is a must-listen for anyone tracking the intersections of politics, accountability, and power plays in Washington.

Today's episode dives deep into the systems reshaping freedom, health, and politics. Lee uncovers the EU's biometric exit-entry system and the UK's new digital IDs, revealing how ordinary citizens are increasingly tracked and controlled. Across the Atlantic, the U.S. moves toward digitized Real IDs, raising questions about privacy and autonomy. On the health front, Lee examines alarming findings from the largest COVID vaccine studies, including increased cancer risks and manipulated federal safety data, alongside the timing of high-profile boosters. Meanwhile, political theater exposes deep hypocrisy: Lindsey Graham and others fund investigations against Trump yet complain of surveillance, while cases of corruption and fraud among prominent politicians highlight systemic double standards. Lee connects the dots on international policy, health risks, and domestic politics to reveal the hidden forces shaping modern life.
