Send us Fan MailThe host frames the episode as a non-expert, trauma-informed attempt to understand politics and then argues that by May 2026 Project 2025 has become the governing blueprint, despite Donald Trump publicly claiming in 2024 he didn't know its authors. They describe Project 2025 as a roughly 900-page Heritage Foundation “mandate for leadership” written by many Trump-aligned former officials, and point to cabinet staffing—naming FCC head Brandon Carr and Attorney General Pam Bondi—as evidence the authors are now in power. The episode focuses on “Schedule F” reclassification, describing an executive order that turns tens of thousands of civil servants into fireable political appointees, prompting an exodus of about 50,000 professionals replaced by a vetted loyalist database. It also warns about Department of Education plans like universal school choice, phasing out Title I funding, and federal investigations of curriculum around gender identity and systemic racism. The host previews part two on “Operation Restore” and a mass deportation plan and invites discussion. #Project2025 #ScheduleF #Trump #HeritageFoundation #FCC #DepartmentOfEducation #SchoolChoice #TitleI #Politics #MAGA #ExecutiveOrders #Media #CivilService #CultureWar #DeportationSupport the show

A bipartisan bill from Senators Ted Cruz and Marie Cantwell is aiming to "federalize" college sports, and the SMQB lawyers have some serious concerns. While the bill promises to limit the chaos of the transfer portal and share revenue with Olympic and women's sports, the crew debates whether it's actually an "anti-athlete" move designed to protect the NCAA from further antitrust lawsuits.   They break down the "Lane Kiffin Rule," which would stop coaches from jumping ship before the playoffs, and the controversial plan to cap agent fees and create national form contracts. It's a nuanced look at how politics is interfering with the "American right to contract" and what the future of a unionized NCAA might actually look like.

Saving Democracy by Destroying It: The Democrat Power Grab exposes how the modern Left increasingly labels constitutional safeguards as "anti-democratic" when they block progressive power. From Hakeem Jeffries' floated judicial purge to Kamala Harris's "no bad idea" brainstorming on radical structural changes, this episode breaks down the effort to reshape America's governing framework. The P.A.S. Report examines the Founders' original intent behind our constitutional republic and connects the dots between court packing, abolishing the Electoral College, eliminating the Senate filibuster, pushing D.C. statehood, weakening border enforcement, and mass amnesty. Host Nick Giordano explains why these are not random ideas, but part of a broader push to engineer a new country and cement permanent political dominance. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Judicial Death Spiral: Why court packing destroys the moral authority and legitimacy of the judiciary.  The Electoral College Civics Lesson: Why the Founders rejected pure democracy and protected the voice of the states.  The D.C. Statehood Power Play: Why the Left rejects retrocession and insists on statehood to alter the Senate.  Reshaping the Electorate: How open borders and weakened safeguards affect American communities.  The Linguistic Trick: How activists reframe checks and balances as "threats to democracy" to justify institutional arson.

Overnight political pressure, sudden legislative reversals, and a warning that your driver's license could become a nationwide tracking tool. Two stories collide today—one about political maps being redrawn under intense pressure, and another about whether states are quietly wiring themselves into a digital identity system that critics say could reshape personal privacy forever.

As Trump's Iran War continues, the administration is running into yet another problem. According to the 1973 War Powers Resolution, the president has to remove military forces from conflict within 60 days if Congress doesn't authorize a war before the deadline. That has House Speaker Mike Johnson claiming this is not a war at all… “I don't think we have an active, kinetic military bombing, firing or anything like that. Right now, we are trying to broker a peace. I would be very reluctant to get in front of the administration in the midst of these very sensitive negotiations, so we'll have to see how that plays out.” Meanwhile, Senator Lisa Murkowski plans to introduce an authorization for use of military force when Congress returns, if there's still a “lack of a credible plan” on Iran. The move could mean an increase in congressional oversight. So is it a war or not? Mo Kelly, in for Mark today, will discuss. This Week in Politics brings journalist Michael Shure by the show to discuss the biggest stories of the week. A spin by Florida and a check in with the Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, brings us rolling into the weekend.

In this explosive interview, Annie Frey sits down with Will Chamberlain, Senior Counsel at the Article III Project, to break down Virginia Democrats' aggressive new redistricting map and what it reveals about their willingness to seize and abuse power. From the overwhelming influence of deep-blue Arlington and Fairfax Counties to Abigail Spanberger's stunning flip-flop on gerrymandering, Chamberlain pulls no punches. He compares Virginia's map to Texas and Illinois, explains why Republicans in red states like Indiana are missing massive opportunities, and lays out exactly what needs to happen after the next census: counting only citizens and gutting the Voting Rights Act's racial gerrymandering mandates. Chamberlain also weighs in on the latest Supreme Court leaks, the slow-walking of dissents, and how Democrat justices' behavior is fundamentally changing how the Court operates—potentially forcing the conservative majority to deliberate in private. Plus, he discusses a bold idea: could a Trump executive order return Arlington to the District of Columbia and flip Virginia red again?

In the second segment of the April 21, 2026, broadcast, host Charlie James focused on what he termed a "huge power grab" by Virginia Democrats. The discussion centered on Governor Abigail Spanberger signing HB 965, which officially entered Virginia into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. This legislation pledges the Commonwealth's 13 electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the nationwide popular vote, regardless of the outcome within Virginia itself. James criticized the move as an attempt to circumvent the Electoral College, noting that Virginia is now the 18th state to join, bringing the compact to 222 of the 270 electoral votes needed to take effect. The segment also highlighted the April 21 special election referendum taking place that same day, where voters were deciding on a controversial redistricting amendment. James argued that these combined efforts—the popular vote compact and the push for mid-decade redistricting—represent a coordinated effort by state leadership to consolidate partisan power and bypass established constitutional norms.

Foreign policy chaos turns into a hard pivot as Donald Trump reverses course on China's role in global trade routes. What started as a shocking suggestion—letting China influence the Strait of Hormuz—quickly escalates into a high-stakes geopolitical standoff involving Iran, nuclear ambitions, and economic warfare. Now the U.S. is back to policing one of the world's most critical النفط chokepoints, but at what cost—and for how long? Meanwhile, cracks in Western alliances are showing. European hesitation, NATO weakness, and the U.K.'s military limitations raise a bigger question: Is America standing alone?

Has someone ever taken something that belonged to you – or at least you felt belonged to you? How did that make you feel?Have you ever been in charge of something and someone else starts stepping all over your authority? What do you want to do in a situation like that? We're going to be thinking about that theme this Sunday as we continue our study in Matthew, reading chapter 21:33-46.Jesus tells a parable that traditionally is referred to as “the parable of the wicked tenants”…but it could be more accurately called “the story of the renters from hell”.Read the parable over. Who do you think the sharecroppers, who are renting the property, represent? Who would they represent as we try to apply this parable to our own lives and church context?Who does the Landowner represent? What do we learn from about Him from His responses to the growing tensions?What was the last straw in this stand-off? What drove the Landowner to action? What can we learn from this story about our own lives and the choices and responses we have?Jesus perpetually challenged the religious system – and this Sunday will be no different. I hope you can join us!Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

CannCon and Chris Paul break down the intensifying legal battles surrounding Trump and the broader implications for executive power. With courts issuing sweeping nationwide injunctions, the hosts question whether the judiciary has crossed into overt political territory. The discussion highlights how legal actions are framed in the media, often shaping public perception before facts fully emerge. They explore the idea of lawfare, where legal systems are used as political weapons, and how this impacts both governance and public trust. The episode also dives into election-related narratives, examining claims of interference and how legal decisions may influence future elections. Throughout the conversation, deeper concerns emerge about institutional control, the role of unelected power structures, and whether the balance between branches of government is breaking down.

Donald Trump suffers a major legal setback as the Supreme Court rules 6–3 that he exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping global tariffs under emergency powers, delivering a significant blow to his second-term trade agenda. The decision raises major questions about presidential power, congressional authority over taxation, and the future of U.S. trade policy — with potential ripple effects for markets, consumers, and international negotiations. We break down what the justices actually said, why even conservative members of the court pushed back, what happens next for Trump's tariff strategy, and how this ruling could reshape the balance of power between the White House and Congress. We'll run it past Michael Shure and Mo Kelly. They join us on Fridays to analyze the biggest stories of the week. Friday Fabulous Florida and The Cultue Blaster, Michael Snyder, kick off some levity for the weekend ahead.

Virginia Democrats are pushing a sweeping redistricting overhaul that could reshape the state's congressional map from 6–5 to 10–1 in their favor. Todd Huff breaks down the political mechanics, the 2020 constitutional amendment that created a bipartisan redistricting commission, and the sudden attempt to reverse it. Is this about fairness—or raw political power?Todd also revisits Indiana's redistricting debate and challenges critics to apply the same standards consistently. If you were outraged before, are you outraged now? This episode explores constitutional authority, political strategy, and the real meaning of gerrymandering in modern America.

In the second hour of episode #1156, Clay Edwards takes a deep dive into generational politics, exploring why Gen X has been largely sidelined in leadership roles, blaming boomers for clinging to power and delaying opportunities—now leaving many Gen Xers in their 40s and 50s too established in careers and family life to pivot. He breaks down stats on Congress (Gen X at 41% in the House but only 28% in the Senate) and Mississippi's legislature (average age 57, boomers dominant at 45%), urging Gen X to step up and counter liberal indoctrination. A caller sparks debate on holding teachers' unions accountable, pushing "feel-good" policies over core education, and infiltrating local politics. Clay unleashes unfiltered rants on liberal Gen Xers as the most offended and medicated group, SSRIs turning affluent white women "gay" (with satirical jabs at stereotypes), and the revival of racism by black Gen X post-Obama. He shares personal views on relationships, favoring driven partners over dependents, and stresses trade schools over useless college degrees. Wrapping with listener texts on anti-ICE protests, Gen X presidents, and positive solutions—pure, no-holds-barred commentary on culture, corruption, and America's soul.

Donald Trump's proposed “Board of Peace” is being sold as a bold new approach to global diplomacy. In reality, it represents one of the most dangerous assaults on the post-World War II international order in decades. This video breaks down how a narrowly defined UN ceasefire resolution for Gaza was transformed into something entirely different: a private, treaty-based global authority centered not on states, law, or democracy—but on Donald Trump personally. With no term limits, no removal mechanism, and total control over membership, finances, and succession, the Board of Peace is structured to outlive elections, bypass governments, and concentrate unprecedented power in the hands of one man and his chosen heirs.

Investigative journalists⁠ ⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ talk with attorney⁠ Eric Bland about South Carolina's deeply flawed judicial selection process as former House Speaker Jay Lucas—at 69 years old with no judicial experience—positions himself for John Kittredge's Supreme Court chief justice seat against experienced appellate judge John Few. The team exposes how the legislature's selection system operates like a backroom good-old-boys club, with candidates humiliating themselves outside chambers while schmoozing white male lawmakers. The conversation shifts to Attorney General Alan Wilson's theatrical raid on minority-owned stores selling legal THC products, seizing $80,000 from Eric's clients despite unclear laws following the 2018 US Farm Bill.

I answer your questions on the year's political lessons, the struggles of young men and handling heat on the show.The end-of-year Ask Me Anything episode has become a tradition on the show. So as 2025 comes to a close, I'm joined by Claire Gordon, the show's executive producer, to answer your questions about an eventful year — how my thinking on the Trump administration has evolved, how well the Democratic Party has played its chips, what I think it means to be a Democrat right now, whether “Abundance” is centrist, how politicians might address adriftness of young people, how I've handled the criticism the show has received and how many packets of Splenda I consume in a day.Note: This conversation was recorded on Tuesday, Dec. 2, and does not reflect more recent developments in Congress's review of the Sept. 2 boat attack.Mentioned:“Don't Believe Him” by Ezra Klein“The Supreme Court Is Backing Trump's Power Grab” by Ezra Klein“What if Trump Just Ignores the Courts?” by Ezra Klein“The Republican Party's NPC Problem — and Ours” by Ezra Klein“Abundance and the Left" by Ezra Klein“The Emergency Is Here” by Ezra Klein“Stop Acting Like This Is Normal” by Ezra Klein“What Were Democrats Thinking?” by Ezra Klein“The Goon Squad” by Daniel KolitzDragonriders of Pern Series by Anne McCaffrey and Todd J.
