We are talking Hollywood and the death walk it's currently on.I'm proud to say that God willing, we will make a serious dent in this area of pop culture, reclaiming some of it.How this correction hasn't already occurred is beyond me. For decades, Hollywood has run like a crackhead trust-fund recipient.People with NO TALENT elevated, and making millions, while real talent is stuffed on shelves.But fiscal sanity is not a language widely spoken in zip codes where espresso costs the same as a car payment. As production budgets ballooned and union rules thickened like overcooked gravy, other cities and states quietly sharpened their pencils and did something radical: math.Across America, states began offering tax incentives to lure productions away from California. Georgia, Texas, Florida, and even international hubs such as Ireland and Eastern Europe rolled out the red carpet with calculators in hand. As reported by RedState columnist Brad Slager in his February 2026 piece, California's once-dominant production pipeline is hemorrhaging projects to “greener locales.” His reporting details how studios, squeezed by soaring costs and regulatory burdens, are packing up and fleeing like extras escaping a zombie scene.

The political battle of the future may not be Left vs. Right — it may be human beings vs. systems built around algorithms. In this episode, I explain the growing divide inside the conservative movement between those defending property rights, landowners, quality of life, and individual liberty vs. those prioritizing special interests and Big Tech. This is our moment to win in primaries, as the public clearly sides with us. I'm joined by Oklahoma state Rep. Jim Shaw (R), who proposed legislation to protect rural communities from massive industrial development projects tied to Big Tech and artificial intelligence. We also dive into the Save Oklahoma Plan and why primary elections for red-state legislatures are the absolute last line of defense against special interest capture. Learn more about your ad choices.

Let's talk about the Red States telling Trump ‘no' when it comes to federalizing the elections....
It's Friday, February 13th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus China named global ‘Puppet Master' of religious persecution At a congressional hearing on February 4, former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback asserted that China continues to aid authoritarian and communist nations worldwide in their quest to suppress religious freedom, reports International Christian Concern. Brownback explained that China is the main driver of assistance to religious persecutors throughout the world. He said, “This alliance of communist, authoritarian, [and] totalitarian regimes will literally stop at nothing to control people of faith. China is the puppet master behind all of it.” According to Bob Fu of China Aid, “The Chinese Communist Party has a powerful civilian surveillance system with hundreds of millions of face-recognition cameras. They are all over China, including all four walls of the church building and pulpits and every corner of the street.” Known as “digital authoritarianism,” China is sharing its technological surveillance programs with nations, including Iran, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, that are known for abuses of religious freedom. Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You [God] are with me; Your rod and staff, they comfort me.” Hawley demands congressional oversight of abortion pill after FDA's safety failure Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri is calling for a crackdown on the abortion kill pill, Mifepristone, saying it's time for Congress to increase oversight of the drug and reinstate what he describes as basic safety guardrails, reports Fox News. He said, "Abortions are going up every single year. What's driving that is Mifepristone. It's the chemical abortion drug that is getting mailed into every state in the country. It doesn't matter what the state laws are. It doesn't matter if your state restricts abortion, bans abortion, or bans Mifepristone. It doesn't matter. It's getting mailed into every single state without a doctor visit, many times, without even a doctor's prescription. No follow-up. It's unbelievable!" Chemical abortions now account for 63% of all U.S. abortions. Not only do 11% of women who swallow the Abortion Kill Pill have to go to the emergency room due to hemorrhaging and sever bleeding, but the FDA has not completed the study of its dangers to women which it promised. Senator Kennedy: “The Karen wing of Democrat Party wants to defund ICE!” Democrats and Republicans are still battling over the funding for the Department of Homeland Security bill as Democrats demand restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement or I.C.E., reports RedState.com. But, on Fox News, Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana had a very direct message to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, about the Democrats' demands to defund I.C.E. KENNEDY: "The Karen wing of the Democratic Party wants to defund ICE, just like they wanted to defund the police. And we know how that vampire movie turned out. The Karen wing of the Democratic Party is in control of the Democratic Party. “Even if we agreed to every one of Senator Schumer's conditions -- and I won't vote for 'em -- he couldn't deliver the Democratic votes. Because the Karen wing will punish any Democrat who votes to keep the Department of Homeland Security open." Jelly Roll's wife says backlash to his Gospel message at Grammy Awards is 'borderline demonic' As The Worldview reported on February 3rd, Jason DeFord, known as Jelly Roll, won three Grammys including one for the Best Contemporary Country album. In a February 8th episode of her podcast, Jelly Roll's wife, Alisa, claims that the backlash against her husband has been “horrific” and “borderline demonic” after the singer thanked Jesus for saving his life and encouraged others to trust Christ at the Grammy Awards, reports The Christian Post. Listen. ALISA DEFORD: “Who would have thought that my husband's speech would set the internet on fire? The problem is people are weaponizing the Bible and religion way more than they are celebrating the name of Jesus. “They're just proving why people do not want to be a Christian. Seeing all of these people online just tearing apart my husband's walk of faith makes me not want to associate with that type of Christianity. It's so horrific and it is so sad and it's borderline demonic. “I've been seeing videos where people are saying that my husband, he's a ‘performative Christian.' If I wasn't trying to walk with God, I would find you and slap you, lady, but I'm trying to turn the other cheek and be better. “In what world is it okay to ever question somebody's walk with God? All he's saying is, ‘Hey, Jesus is for everybody. Jesus does not belong to one political party. Jesus loves you and the Internet lost their minds.” Some critics claimed that Jelly Roll's words were “very MAGA,” while others accused him of using religion to try to grow his brand. Jelly Roll credited Jesus and his “beautiful wife” with changing his life. Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” Valentine's Day birthed through Christian martyr's death And finally, have you ever wondered why we celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14th? Well, Pastor Valentine or Valentinus was a clergyman in the Roman Empire who lived during the reign of Claudius Gothicus or Claudius II. Because the Emperor was having difficulty getting young men to volunteer to serve in the army to fight his wars, he prohibited marriage which would further hurt the conscription rate. Pastor Valentine, who celebrated God's love and Biblical love between husband and wife, secretly married Christian couples in the forest which ultimately led to his arrest and imprisonment. While Claudius took a liking to Pastor Valentinus, the bold preacher tried to convert the Emperor which resulted in a sentence of death. In Romans 10:14, the Apostle Paul asks, "How, then, can they call on the One they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” Valentine was beaten with clubs and stones. And when that failed to kill him, Valentine was beheaded on February 14, A.D. 269. And now you know the rest of the story. Pick up a copy of the excellent children's book entitled Valentine: God's Courageous Evangelist.

I break down how Trump's retreat on immigration enforcement — refusing to invoke the Insurrection Act, pulling ICE from hostile blue states, and parroting Democrat talking points about “non-criminal” illegal labor — has emboldened blue-state insurrection while completely neutralizing red states. Now blue states will impose this tyranny on us in red states when they take over at the federal level, but thanks to Trump's bad endorsements, we will not have the infrastructure to fight Democrat tyranny the way blue states are successfully thwarting Trump. I also show how Trump is championing federal supremacy on all the wrong issues like gun control, AI, and land use, but not on immigration. Learn more about your ad choices.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
This is the first ever Historically Thinking Roundtable. Given that it's 2026, it's appropriate that this roundtable focus on the 250th anniversary of the United States, and how historians can be involved in its commemoration. Difficulties in doing this can arise from at least two reasons. One is that historians, like most academics, represent a relatively small slice of the political pie. And indeed, in these very partisan times, academics are some of the least trusted people in society–right around members of congress, according to a recent poll. Naturally academics and professionals in cultural institutions tend to get defensive about that, and beginning in a posture of attack and defense usually means that whatever happens afterward will not be good. But there's another problem, one related to historical thinking. Historians are taught to tell the whole story, however complicated and messy. They often find anything less than that to be distortion. And while arguably civic thought requires an element of gratitude, that's not how historians think of their own craft. These difficulties can be acutely felt by professionals in With me to discuss these difficulties, and how to resolve them are:Bill Peterson, Director of the State Historical Society of North DakotaTrait Thompson, Executive Director of the Oklahoma Historical Society, host of the podcast, co-host of A Very OK PodcastBen Jones, South Dakota State Historian, and Director of the South Dakota Historical Society, Ryan Cole, historian, Speechwriter at U.S. Senate, author most recently of The Last Adieu: Lafayette's Triumphant Return, the Echoes of Revolution, and the Gratitude of the RepublicAnd Jill Weiss Simins, historian and Director of Special Projects, Indiana State ArchivesChapters0:00 - Introduction 3:20 - Community Conversations in Red States 13:04 - Telling Complex History 20:28 - When Is Complexity Bad? 25:12 - Bridging Alienation and Division 31:10 - Primary Sources and Making Arguments 37:35 - Historical Distortion and Noble Lies 47:15 - America 250 Local Projects

Glenn also admonishes the state of Utah for recently passing a law increasing the number of judges on the Utah Supreme Court from five to seven. Glenn looks at the scathing order issued by U.S. District Judge Fred Biery regarding the 5-year-old boy and his illegal immigrant father. Glenn warns of the dangers that come when radical judges are left unchecked. BlazeTV host of ‘Relatable' and author of ‘Toxic Empathy,' Allie Beth Stuckey, joins to discuss the Atlantic hit piece written by Hillary Clinton, which attacked Allie's position on toxic empathy. Glenn analyzes the Left's ongoing targeting of ICE agents as states like California are trying to force ICE agents to remove their face masks. Author of ‘The Next Big Crash,' Justin Haskins, joins to discuss how close we are to another market crash. Jason Buttrill joins Glenn and Justin to discuss how President Trump and his administration have been working overtime to systematically tear down what former administrations have built.

Marc Cox and the team fire through four packed hours of sharp political insight and cutting humor. Hour 1 opens with lighter banter on Punxsutawney Phil before diving into California's shocking $3.5 billion hospice fraud and a blistering takedown of Vogue's love letter to Gavin Newsom. Hour 2 shifts to national politics — from the population boom in Trump-won swing states and Ryan Schmelz's analysis of the SAVE Act and standing filibuster to Marc's big announcement that he'll cover Trump's State of the Union live from D.C., wrapping with oddball headlines on caviar nuggets and frozen iguanas. Hour 3 blends state issues and scandals: Missouri Sen. Adam Schnelting details his plan to move school board elections and eliminate state taxes, followed by Kim's exposé on how hospice fraudsters prey on seniors. Hour 4 brings it home with Lt. Gov. David Wasinger calling for live-stream transparency in the Missouri Senate, Jeff Monasso reporting from Minnesota's ICE protest chaos, and Marc breaking down America's “red state boom” and the firing of a nurse who advocated letting ICE agents bleed out — a chilling sign of the Left's descent into madness. Hashtags: #MarcCoxMorningShow #MissouriPolitics #Transparency #HospiceFraud #SwingStates #SAVEAct #ICE #RedStateBoom #GavinNewsom #MediaBias
Marc dives into four major topics this hour. Missouri Lt. Gov.

(The Center Square) - Several blue states appear set to lose electoral college votes while red states will make sweeping gains, new data from the U.S. Census Bureau suggests. On Tuesday, the U.S. Census Bureau announced a significant decrease in U.S. population growth, largely due to less international immigration. However, analysis of the census data revealed several noteworthy takeaways in domestic migration trends that could affect electoral college and congressional makeup.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit jimhightower.substack.comThanks to all of you who joined us last night for our first experiment with Substack's live video feature! After reviewing the questions that you left for us last week, we got to tackling a few of them—Hightower gave advice to Maria in Wyoming, who's frustrated with calling her Republican representatives, and the role of grassroots organizing in red states. We also got to hear some big stories about tiny airplanes (thanks, Shira!), and Hightower's opinion about why some elected Democrats are loud and proud, while a lot of senators have not been taking strong action against the fascist invasion and occupation of many cities in the US, which was Fred's question. Richard asked about a left-wing “Project 2025,” and as part of that answer, Hightower gave a rough estimate of how old Ralph Nader is— not to be missed.We ironed out a few of the initial technical glitches, by the way, and I'm also working on making sure comments from everyone are enabled for the next live event, because we really missed hearing your live feedback! Let us know what your favorite parts were in the comments. Thanks again for watching!

As we watch Democrats floor the gas pedal on communism in Virginia, it's time to ask why we don't have a single red-state trifecta that governs as vigorously as Democrats do on their issues. We're joined by Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison (R), who exposes just how liberal the state party leadership is. Texas is being overrun by Islamic terror supporters and Antifa. Texas is facing a crisis from property taxes and data centers. State and local governments continue to promote liberal policies with taxpayer-funded lobbyists. Yet the legislature doesn't even plan to convene! Why aren't there more fighters like Harrison? Because we ignore the primaries. Meanwhile, the Texas speaker is running two liberal candidates against Harrison so he can consolidate support from the uniparty without people like Harrison trying to paint Texas red.

Gina Hinojosa, a Texas state representative and Democratic candidate for governor, joins the Chuck ToddCast to discuss how the school choice debate has created unexpected opportunities for Democrats in traditionally red states. Hinojosa, who entered politics through school board advocacy to save her son's school, argues that corruption—not ideology—is the biggest driver of Texas politics. She accuses Governor Greg Abbott of holding school funding hostage to push through a voucher program, forcing closures across the state while Texas ranks in the bottom three nationally for education funding. Hinojosa contends that vouchers lack transparency and accountability, and notes that even Trump-voting Texas women have joined the fight against them. She criticizes charter schools for cherry-picking students while taking public resources, and highlights how special education funding has been systematically cut, leaving expensive and crucial services unmet. Beyond education, Hinojosa paints a broader picture of dysfunction in Texas, claiming Abbott has awarded $1 billion in no-bid contracts to donors—what she calls the "Greg Abbott corruption tax"—and pointing to failures in the state's deregulated electric grid, border policy, and treatment of vulnerable communities. She argues that Texas operates as a three-party state, with two Republican wings and Democrats, and describes how Abbott used millions to primary moderate "Bush Republicans," successfully defeating nine incumbents who wouldn't toe the line. While acknowledging challenges like the border security issue that flipped the Rio Grande Valley toward Trump and ICE enforcement she describes as "terrorizing communities," Hinojosa sees opportunities in growing business community frustration over tariffs and deportations. She emphasizes that despite Texas's economic power and population growth—which will add 4-5 congressional districts—ordinary Texans aren't benefiting, with small business owners earning less than the national average and electric bills skyrocketing due to data center demand and grid mismanagement.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck delivers a blunt warning about how Donald Trump’s erratic, ahistorical tariff strategy is pushing the United States toward a self-inflicted crisis—one that could even stumble into war. With none of the usual political penalties applying to Trump, elected Republicans have opted for fearful silence, becoming complicit as tariffs punish American taxpayers and U.S. credibility abroad rapidly erodes. Americans, worn down by “Trump Exhaustion Syndrome” and the lack of consequences after January 6th, are watching as the last real guardrail—the economy—buckles under market turmoil, while Congress and the Supreme Court delay or abdicate their responsibility to act. The episode underscores the extraordinary global fallout: Canada openly questioning whether it can rely on the U.S., wargaming invasion scenarios, pursuing “strategic autonomy,” and calling for new middle-power alliances even as it reaffirms commitment to NATO. As isolationism spreads and the rules-based order America once led begins to fracture, Chuck argues that only a congressional reckoning—or a midterm revolt—can halt the damage and preserve the country’s democratic institutions. Gina Hinojosa, a Texas state representative and Democratic candidate for governor, joins Chuck to discuss how the school choice debate has created unexpected opportunities for Democrats in traditionally red states. Hinojosa, who entered politics through school board advocacy to save her son's school, argues that corruption—not ideology—is the biggest driver of Texas politics. She accuses Governor Greg Abbott of holding school funding hostage to push through a voucher program, forcing closures across the state while Texas ranks in the bottom three nationally for education funding. Hinojosa contends that vouchers lack transparency and accountability, and notes that even Trump-voting Texas women have joined the fight against them. She criticizes charter schools for cherry-picking students while taking public resources, and highlights how special education funding has been systematically cut, leaving expensive and crucial services unmet. Beyond education, Hinojosa paints a broader picture of dysfunction in Texas, claiming Abbott has awarded $1 billion in no-bid contracts to donors—what she calls the "Greg Abbott corruption tax"—and pointing to failures in the state's deregulated electric grid, border policy, and treatment of vulnerable communities.

On January 15, leaders from across Utah's civic and political landscape came together for a virtual discussion on how the state's shifting population is influencing organizing and electoral strategy. Katie Wright, Executive Director of the Utah Donor Collaborative, Emma Petty Addams, Co-Executive Director for Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG), and Matt Lyon, Utah Lead for the Rural West Project—joined by moderator Reed Galen, Co-Founder of The Lincoln Project and President of The Union—shared firsthand perspectives on the collaborative work underway to build durable, cross-partisan alliances across urban and rural communities.Throughout the conversation, the speakers underscored the central role of fair political representation in strengthening democracy, pointing to examples of Utahns finding common ground across ideological lines. They highlighted how shared values around accountability, participation, and representation have allowed unlikely partners to work together effectively.The panel also challenged the assumption that meaningful pro-democracy progress is limited to traditionally blue states. Drawing on lessons from Utah, they emphasized that red states should not be written off—arguing instead that sustained organizing, inclusive coalitions, and strategic engagement can and do create openings for democratic reforms, even in places long considered politically out of reach.Learn more about the Utah Donor Collaborative here: https://utahdonorcollaborative.com/ Learn more about MWEG here: https://www.mormonwomenforethicalgove...
