So instead of booking other candidates, he kicked the interview online and cried censorship.
This wasn’t Trump.
It wasn’t the FCC storming the studio.

Bait-and-Switch: How Moderate Democrats Con Voters + Tom Homan and Sec. Brooke Rollins
🎙️ Once again the left has given the American people a bait-and-switch with the promise of “moderate Democrats” in VA and NJ.

Democrats’ Religion Problem - Church Protests & Anti-Semitism
🎙️ We break down the left’s overt hatred of religion in America - on display Sunday in Minneapolis. More than unhinged, it’s dangerous. Then we get into Don Lemon showing up on the scene and trying to dress the whole thing up as “First Amendment” theater, while the fellas call out what’s really happening: organized chaos with a media camera crew conveniently on-site. We dig into the growing sense
The Dumbest Supreme Court Justice Ever?
🎙️ Watching SCOTUS this week, it’s obvious that the left’s entire legal theory collapses once someone asks simple questions. We talk about why this case isn’t just about sports, and why the arguments we’re hearing put far more than one issue at risk.

New Low: Libs Push Anti-ICE *AI* Propaganda

Are Democrats Trying to Start a Civil War?

Maduro Arrested: What's Next?
🎙️ We walk through the Maduro capture and why it matters that the U.S. can go in, grab the guy, and get out—clean. We talk through the stakes in the region, the role of adversaries in propping up a failed-state mess, and why the oil angle is less about “needing it” and more about who gets to control it in our own hemisphere.

Spectacular Media Fails of 2025
🎙️ We review the year that was 2025, counting down the greatest media failures of last year. To top the list, Sydney Sweeney’s jeans ad.

Then over to CBS, where John Dickerson tries to com
