What to Expect From Trump at the United Nations Sep 23, 2025

⚡️ Energy Secretary Chris Wright chats with the fellas about where this administration is headed with cutting red tape and outlines so many of the mistakes from previous administrations that they are working to fix.

Exposing Left Wing Hypocrisy & Giving A Crash Course on Actual First Amendment Freedoms Sep 19, 2025

Show notes

🎙️ Weird that the same people who are calling foul on ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel were the ones cheering for the silencing of Roseanne Barr, Gina Carano and even deplatforming President Trump. We offer a crash course in how the First Amendment works, and it doesn’t just work when you want it to.

⚡️ President Obama weighed in on the controversy, as did the DNC - more evidence of how out of touch democrats are with regular America. Smug and the fellas dig into what is actually wrong with late-night comedy: the tried-and-true formula has been abandoned. We also have a good laugh at a ridiculous demand made by Chuck Schumer to fund PBS, revealing the democrats' desperate attempts to cling to taxpayer-funded propaganda.

🐘 Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno stops by to discuss more than his legislative accomplishments. He shares a number of hysterical stories from his time on the Hill, and there’s no surprise in learning that being in the majority is a blast.

🐻 People in New Jersey are way too close to this Dollar Store bear; good thing the police made a bold decision with it. Plus, the fellas discuss the science behind orca attacks on the open waters.

Left-Wing Media Goes Totally Berserk After Charlie Kirk Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

🎙️ ABC News' relationship with this Utah shooter is mind-blowing. The fellas unpack this viral clip where the anchor’s sympathy is for the assassin and then attempts to paint him as some sort of thoughtful lover. It's totally appalling.

⚡ ️So, a protestor thinks she’s married to Luigi Mangione’s AI, and this is more than just bizarre. There is some deep, underlying psychosis on the left and the fellas dig in deep on what’s happening. PLUS Ted Cruz takes on CNN, Brandy Zadronsky is an ongoing embarrassment and a little Jasmine Crockett for fun.

👑 King of the Hill returns with former republican, now far-left online nutbags Rick Wilson and Joe Walsh.

🪨 Variety with a scandal that is gripping the sports world in the Rock Skipping Championship, an alligator battle for the ages and New Hampshire will have no more greased pig chases.

How Weak Democrat Leadership Has Enabled Left Wing Extremism Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

🎙️ After reflecting on the tragic events of last week, the fellas have some thoughtful takes on Charlie Kirk, left-wing violence and how the democrats lack of leadership is what got us here. It was an honest look into how they were each dealing with the reality of political violence that Ruthless crew now lives with every day.

⚡️ The real outrage is how so many politicians are comparing both sides. Smug is gonna freak if he hears another Republican say that this is a problem with both parties. And it was probably too much to expect a leader like Gov. Josh Shapiro to call out left-wing violence, even after being firebombed by a left-wing Palestinian sympathizing terrorist.

🔐 Are we careening toward an inevitable government shutdown? The fellas talk about the state of play in the House and Senate and what a “clean CR” would do for the negotiations - and who voters will blame. Can Donald Trump control the media narrative during a government shutdown?

💰 Waste, fraud and abuse are still lurking in the federal budget; the fellas were fascinated by some of the ways the Trump administration is hunting it down. OPM Director Scott Kupor joined the Progrum to explain.

How the Left Makes Radicalism Mainstream Sep 12, 2025

Show notes

The media coverage around Charlie Kirk is beyond the pale. From democrats blaming Charlie for his own assassination, to gleeful leftist celebrations around his passing. We don’t expect much from journos at this point, but even we were appalled at the coverage.

Between MSNBC hosts like Jen Psaki and Katy Tur, the coverage turned our collective stomachs. The fellas break down the violent political moment that we find ourselves in, but also how we got here. Smug reminds us that dehumanizing conservatives has been the goal of the left, and if dehumanizing is your goal, then this is the inevitable outcome.

We were fortunate to be joined by Jason Chaffetz, who was at UVU during Charlie’s last moments.

Remembering Charlie Kirk Sep 11, 2025

Show notes

The loss of Charlie Kirk is being felt across the media landscape and the fellas are praying for his family. Today’s show is different because it should be different; this news has completely and deeply shocked us.

Charlie was a patriot, a Christian warrior and a great friend to everyone who knew him. The fellas express their grief and cannot believe there are people who are trying to use this tragedy for political gain. We also review the political violence targeting right-wing figures like Steve Scalise, Brett Kavanaugh and even Donald Trump. We also discuss what role social media is playing in the creation of this moment.

Why Democrats Don't Care That a Ukrainian Woman Was Brutally Attacked Sep 09, 2025

Show notes

🎙️ The brutal stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte is absolutely horrific, as is the video. This repeat offender has zero mentions in the New York Times, which is such an indictment of the state of mass media in 2025. The fellas cover President Trump’s comments, as well as the irresponsible statement from the Charlotte mayor in response.

⚡️Smug and Duncan have a theory that explains what we are seeing — the left has created a cottage industry around crime and they want to keep the gears turning. It would explain what we are seeing and why dems refuse to police their cities.

💥Variety brings us a wild boar getting chased by the cops, a nurse gives a drunk raccoon some CPR and the smell of Ohio available for sale near you. Then, API President and CEO, Mike Sommers, joins the fellas to talk energy independence and how it fits into the abundance agenda.

Dems Fake It Till You Make It Strategy Sep 05, 2025

Show notes

🎙️ It’s a fun time Friday and the fellas have some of the best clips from the week that was. Like Jasmine Crockett in maximum code-switching form, and Sen. Tim Kaine not having any idea where our rights derive from. Also, the Progrum recently learned that all of Wisconsin will shut down without illegal immigrants.

🥊 Smug and the minions activate after Chuck Todd weighed into democrat fantasies about Trump’s death. It was an online massacre, but worth us exploring some of the low-lights from the career that Smug is dubbing ‘Cuck Todd.’

🏈 ESPN doesn’t respect you. The fellas break down the unbelievable decision to put traditional commercial breaks into the greatest thing in the TV arsenal. Who is making these decisions and why aren’t they fired?

🇺🇸 One of our favorite guests, US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau joins the program to discuss our southern border security, Ukraine, China and how this administration is making government more effective for everyday citizens.

Why are Dems Pushing Insane Conspiracies? Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

🎙️ Democrats have gone through the looking glass after spending the weekend wondering if Donald Trump was alive. The fellas review some of the most outrageous reactions by democrats to the BlueAnon rumor and truth. Michael Duncan is alive, as well.

💥 Chicago and Illinois are speaking with the same voice, blaming red states for their violence problem. The fellas watch as Chicago’s Mayor gets fiery about who is to blame for their murder rate, you guessed it, Donald Trump.

🐭 There is an arrest of the Chuck E. Cheese mascot in Florida, and the video is just as good as we wanted it to be. God bless the bodycam of these fine officers.

️

🐘 PLUS Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri joins the Progrum to break down the upcoming legislative session and discuss his book, The Last Line of Defense. https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-last-line-of-defense-eric-schmitt?variant=43731604537378

The Future of Trump's Agenda in Congress Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

🎙️ Congress is back from break, and there is a ton to do. The fellas start with Democrats holding up Trump nominations, and you won’t believe how easy it is to stop progress on any of them. The Progrum dives into what can be done with bonus interviews featuring Sec. Chris Wright and Kevin Hassett.

⚡A️ government shutdown is possible, but the fellas explain if it’s likely. What will Chuck Schumer demand from Republicans to work a deal? And is that even possible with their base? We cover what a shutdown means and if it will happen — plus the National Defense Authorization Act.

🇺🇦🇮🇱 Funding for Ukraine and Israel are two of the five most important decisions facing Congress and there is a lot of pressure on politicians to change course. We cover how Congress should be tackling the funding on The Hill, and point out the land mines that await them.

🦒 And a little variety to kick off a short week with Hooters’ work at rebranding, what it sounds like to get hit by a giraffe and Ashbrook’s continued hatred of raccoons seems justified.
