Trump is at a crossroads. The most important and enduring accomplishment — perhaps the only enduring accomplishment — will be to break judicial supremacism. In today’s action-packed show, I discuss the arguments Trump must make as to why judges have no jurisdiction over deportations and how he must fully ignore the courts. Such a posture will help us down the road when we push for red states to fight the next Democrat president. Next, I offer a unique history lesson on Marbury v. Madison to show how Chief Justice Marshall was not establishing judicial supremacism, but constitutional supremacism. When you understand the adjacent cases and the political events that led up to the decision, it becomes apparent that he was actually deferring to the Jefferson administration and refusing to interfere by enlarging the scope of judicial power. Based on the scholarship of 11th Circuit Judge William Pryor, I prove that Marbury actually shows the exact opposite of judicial supremacy. We are at a unique point in history to finally bury this myth.

Even though inflation has slowed for one month, we are trapped between a vicious trio of debt, record prices, and a recession. Meanwhile, judges continue to take over Trump’s presidency, and he refuses to exert himself over the court and/or force his agenda through Congress. Quite the contrary. RINOs successfully downed his pick for CDC director, yet they didn’t get "the Chip Roy treatment." Next, we’re joined by Cindy Byrd, the state auditor and inspector of Oklahoma, who has exposed waste, fraud, and wokeness in red-state government before it was cool. She breaks down the details of her unique forensic audits of Tulsa’s school district, which found that woke administrators were shoveling taxpayer funding to left-wing vendors and continuing CRT and DEI programs in contravention to state law. She also showed how to save money and root out eligibility fraud in Medicaid. Sadly, the legislature had no interest in following her recommendations. Now she is running for lieutenant governor to actually implement the ideas we all campaign on but that she championed before it was cool.

During the Biden administration, I warned that the government was engaging in “economic grooming” by acculturating the public to accept the current price levels as the new normal and to deem slower rates of increase as victories against inflation. We are seeing the same things from Trump supporters misinterpreting one month’s CPI report. We cannot lie to people that inflation has been solved without cutting spending or without a deep recession. Next, we’re joined by April Cromer, vice chair of the South Carolina state Freedom Caucus, who reports bad news from the South Carolina budget. The GOP governor and, yes, supermajority worked with every Democrat to pass a bloated and woke budget. The Freedom Caucus in South Carolina (unlike the national one) refused to go along with it and has exposed that supermajorities are just as fraudulent as narrow majorities. She explains how she beat an incumbent and why primaries are more important than general elections.

So Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is now a hero, but Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) deserves a primary?Sadly, Trump is repeating the mistakes of his first term by demanding that conservatives in Congress undermine his own stated agenda. Also, what ever happened to banning mRNA?Next, we tackle the housing crisis caused by government with banking and housing expert Alex Pollock of the Mises Institute. Alex explains the entire nature and history of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginne Mae, and the FHA and how they are inflating the housing market by backing mortgages that are insolvent. Along with the Federal Reserve, they are the source of the housing crisis. Now is the time to unwind them completely, not return them to a venture socialism public-private partnership.

Not only are the spending cuts from the DOGE either being exaggerated or struck down by the courts, but now its existence is being used as an excuse not to cut spending for real in budget bills. Today, I explain how the budget CR is a bigger betrayal than you think. I shoot down about a dozen arguments in support of it. Unfortunately, Trump has pressured the Freedom Caucus rather than the RINOs, so we will wind up with the same old. Unless they come up with a new playbook, we know how this play ends. Also, I’m very concerned about the slow pace of deportations and explain the factors holding them up.

We begin by discussing the need and opportunity for Trump to push back against judicial supremacism lest all his policies go to waste. Next, I delve into a new poll showing how support for gay marriage is plummeting, yet Republicans refuse to utilize the Overton window and instead are making everything about female sports. The same thing applies to the budget and spending cuts. They are underestimating the mandate they have to actually eliminate programs. Trump needs to use his megaphone to explain how we are subsidizing unaffordability with these very programs both parties have supported. Sadly, they are on the cusp of playing "Lucy and the football" with the budget bill.

We begin by delving into Trump’s speech last night. What is self-evident is that Trump could crush Democrats in a shutdown or brinksmanship fight over the budget. But sadly, he is pressuring conservatives to vote for the important bills that will fund everything he is promising to cut or reform. We’re joined by the one and only Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who breaks down the math of the budget proposals to show the cognitive dissonance among Republicans. They cheer the DOGE cuts but then can’t even get behind a proposal that won’t make things worse than under Biden. Massie makes it clear that you can’t complain about inflation and support the current path. Finally, I discuss the ramifications of the Supreme Court ruling on Trump’s executive spending cuts and why he either needs to stand up to the courts or codify his policies in the budget bill.

We begin with a discussion about the state of the economy and the proposed tariffs. Trump is right to focus on the long-term and be willing to suffer short-term stock markets, but why blow the capital on tariffs? Instead, Trump should focus on massive health care and welfare reform and regulatory cuts before pursuing tariffs. Next, we’re joined by Nic Hulscher, epidemiologist at the McCullough Foundation, who updates us on the dangerous bird-flu vaccine for animals. He explains how this vaccine will create more dangerous strains. He also warns that the culling of the chickens itself is responsible for nearly all human transmission. Hulscher also discusses his efforts to ban mRNA in the states and offers us useful resources that collate the full list of harms from the most important academic studies. Finally, on a personal level, he explains what it was like as a public health student during COVID as the only vaccine realist in the department.

It’s really simple. When Trump uses his bully pulpit, he moves the people. We are seeing that quite vividly with the fight over Ukraine funding. However, if he doesn’t extend this to his fight with Congress and the courts, much of the good work will be washed away. To that end, I explain how Trump can totally win a government shutdown over the budget. He can use his Tuesday-night speech to lay out his vision on the economy and how the welfare state is causing inflation. He must also put the courts in their place. At the end, I delve into my concerns with the cryptocurrency scams. Finally, is RFK Jr. going soft now that he is actually in political combat?

In this free-for-all Friday show, we cover an enormous amount of ground on the news of the day, centered around the point that we need to end photo-op conservatism. I go through immigration, spending, economy, mRNA, and a bunch of other issues to show how the grifter corps of the online Right is ensuring that we get nothing but photo ops. I also address the degeneracy with the embrace of the Tate brothers and how it’s emblematic of those who don’t believe their own talking points. Finally, what is the lesson we can learn from the gun rights movement?

We seem to have universal support in the GOP for ending welfare and criminality among immigrants, but we’re forgetting the great replacement of Americans is still a problem culturally and in the labor market. I’m joined today by Jason Richwine, resident scholar at the Center for Immigration Studies, for a discussion on how the STEM worker shortage is a hoax. He uses the price of eggs to show how scarcity creates a sharp rise in prices, so why don’t we see a sharp rise in wages for STEM workers if there really is a shortage? We also discuss the scope of anchor babies boxing out American citizenship and how mass balkanized migration has even contributed to less American fertility by weakening community cohesion. Finally, we discuss the folly of those who think that mass migration will suddenly work for us if it’s orchestrated by Trump and Republicans.

Today, I provide the most in-depth math behind taxes and spending in budget reconciliation and the message Republicans are lacking. Under the current trajectory, Republicans will incur the worst mix of policy and political outcomes. They are mistakenly blowing their capital on inefficient tax cuts that can easily be demagogued in exchange for fake spending cuts that will be enough to elicit political blowback but not enough to reduce inflation. I juxtapose their bill to my proposal, which would make health care reform, welfare reform, foreign labor cuts, and small business tax cuts the core of the agenda. I explain how I would deal with the expiring tax cuts differently and how our plan is much more populist in message but at the same time more conservative in outcome.

We begin today with some concerning political news about gubernatorial endorsements of candidates with no proven record. I explain the difference between candidates who talk a good game and those who actually survived the trial by fire that determines outcomes. Next, we’re joined by famed cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough for a spellbinding presentation on bird flu. He explains the absurdity of mass-killing chickens and how our government officials and the public are not even aware of this being the source of record prices for eggs. He also provides chapter and verse on how this virus was likely made more transmissible by a USDA facility in Georgia and how the vaccines being prepared will make things worse. Finally, we touch on the problems with the flu vaccines and RSV vaccines and how excess deaths from the COVID shots are reverberating to this day.

Trump has shown over the weekend that he is clearly frustrated by the pace of both deportations and spending cuts. We focus mainly on the spending issue today, showing how Republicans have done a poor job communicating to the public how these very programs that people are dependent upon are driving inflation, creating asset bubbles, and devaluing the purchasing power of the dollar in a way that only benefits the wealthy. Specifically, I show how Trump can champion deficit reduction in a populist way, particularly for young voters who are screwed the most by deficit spending and the housing crisis it has induced. Next, we delve into problematic Trump endorsements and the need to replace primaries with conventions. Also, judicial supremacism will continue to blunt a lot of perceived gains from this administration.

We begin by discussing how Congress is proving that lawmakers have no interest in cutting spending. The problem is that Trump doesn’t realize the mutual exclusivity of his desire to
cut inflation with his concurrent desire to cut nothing but “waste, fraud, and abuse.” I explain how this is similar to the Obamacare fight of 2017. This is why transactional gold is the only
solution. We’re joined by BlazeTV host Kevin Freeman, author of "Pirate Money" and one of the leaders of the movement, for an amazing update on the transactional gold bills moving through the states. He believes some states beginning with Utah, Oklahoma, and Florida will adopt the plan this year. Kevin explains how marrying the gold rush with transactional and liquid currency is the perfect balance between the status quo of a bankrupt, inflationary dollar mixed with people buying nonfunctional bars of gold to be stored rather than spent. This is the single most important movement of our time.

Conservative media are lying to you. They are conflating opportunities with outcomes and momentum with actualized gains. They are giving the impression that draining the swamp, cutting spending, and ending illegal immigration are easy. Yet the only way to secure enduring victories is fighting through adversity. I explain what some of those choke points are and how, absent the desire or ability to power through them, most of these gains will be reversed. Also, we must make sure we don’t treat Mexico like Afghanistan and work toward quixotic goals of propping up the Mexican government against the cartels. Instead, we must create a buffer zone and use conventional military force, not special forces or CIA.

There is so much potential to downsize government, but if we allow our colleagues in conservative media to lie to the public, we will not stick the landing. Too many people are being told that DOGE magically discovered trillions in savings without cutting a single program. That is simply not true, and this is reflected in the congressional budget, where lawmakers are struggling to find even a fraction of those savings. There is a role for the DOGE, but we need to be honest about what it is going to take to actually bring down inflation. We go program by program and strategy by strategy to cut through the optical illusions and false choices.

What happened to banning mRNA? Why are the COVID vaccines still on the market and their makers now getting contracts for other vaccines, including for the bird flu? We’re joined today by Dr. Kat Lindley, who is not letting go of this issue. She is warning that because we failed to kill the pandemic playbook, it is being run again almost word for word with bird flu. Those running the playbook created a more virulent strain with gain-of-function research, killed off herd immunity among the chickens, are engaging in mass testing, and now are on the cusp of pushing dangerous vaccines that will only exacerbate the pathogen – all elements of the COVID playbook. We discuss the need for RFK Jr. to order a change, not just at HHS but at the USDA, to stop mass testing and mass vaccination and push for a strategy of herd immunity instead of slaughtering the chickens. She also calls upon RFK, along with the states, to immediately ban mRNA vaccines.

We’ve never had such an open lane to implement all of our policies federally and in the red states. Even the media is conceding that Trump is running circles around the Democrats and has a bigger megaphone than they do. Yet we still are not sticking the landing on outcomes because of the "holy trinity of strategies" I outline on today’s show. They are pressuring Congress to enact his orders, standing up to the courts, and elevating the right people in the red states. I discuss how RINOs in Congress are fighting every last spending cut. The reason we are not sticking the landing is because conservatives lack personnel who believe in our values for real and have the brains to implement them. I read an incisive article from New Hampshire explaining how the dearth of elite human capital on the Right ensures that even when we pass good laws, we fail to stick the landing.

Between the good bills we have introduced in red states and Trump’s executive orders, the sky is the limit as to what we can accomplish. But if we sit back as pundits and don’t push activism, none of this will come to fruition. We tackle the courts, budget reconciliation, the lack of a vision from congressional Republicans, and the need for Trump to offer affirmative direction. I prove once again that the best policies from Trump so far will be terminated if we don’t embed them in the budget bill. Next, we go through the latest news on immigration enforcement and how Republicans are trying to undermine the policies that will actually work. Finally, I offer a lightning round of the bills I’m working on in red states. We are gaining traction but will come up short if we don’t apply pressure to the RINOs.
