Well, today we are going to listen to both Crowder and the other on the right that took issue with his comments and answer the question…Did Steven Crowder make a good point?

The Question Everyone at Oxford Was Too Afraid to Ask Aug 06, 2026

Show notes

The purpose of the Oxford Union debate was to consider the question of whether or not the west had a right to be suspicious of Islam…the crowd voted NO 57-41, but one moment during the debate should have settled the whole thing…if the crowd was being honest.

Democrats Just Lost Their Biggest Advantage in Pennsylvania Aug 04, 2026

Show notes

While the Senate fights over the SAVE Act, Pennsylvania has handed Democrats a huge loss…Democrats USED to have a major voter registration lead in every election. This week, that lead got cut in half — and the number left standing should terrify anyone planning a Democratic campaign in 2028. Today we will discuss what happened, why, and where it should happen next…

Mamdani’s Ideology — And Europe Already Tested It Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

For the last ten years, conservatives have been fighting wokeism. And in a lot of ways, they’ve been winning. States have passed legislation. Courts have pushed back. Parents have shown up to school board meetings. And yet — the Left is not retreating. They’re advancing. Because what most people don’t realize is that wokeism was never the ideology. It was the symptom. The ideology is called Third Worldism. It’s older, it’s more radical, and it didn’t just elect the Mayor of New York City — it’s already reshaping entire nations. Look at Europe. Today I want to explain exactly what Third Worldism is, why it’s spreading faster than wokeism ever did, and what happens if the West loses this argument.

SPONSOR: American Financing

With the cost of gas, groceries, and insurance staying high, high-interest credit card debt can quietly drain your finances. American Financing helps homeowners use their equity to consolidate that debt, and customers save an average of $800 a month. There are no upfront fees, and it costs nothing to find out how much you could save.
