Brandon Gill, who lays out why Democrats are willing to shut down the government rather than fund DHS, exposes what surfaced in the Jack Smith hearing, and calls out the political targeting of elected officials.

The Russia–Ukraine war has now crossed one million casualties, and Joe Pags asks the question no one else will: why is this still happening and what's the actual endgame?

Finally, Kay Hill joins the show to tackle Europe's bold claim that it no longer needs the United States. Can Britain and the EU actually survive without American power, money, and security?
