Now THIS is What We Call a Debate! Apr 11, 2024

Show notes

There is nothing more fruitful than the vigorous competition of opposing viewpoints. But as high school debate organizations have become inundated by progressive ideologies, actual debate is being crushed. There is hope, however. Vivek Ramaswamy and Bill DeBlasio recently appeared on the same stage with the same mission: to help revive authentic debate.

2024 Incubate Debate National Champion Briana Whatley joins Michele, along with the competition's founder, James Fishback.

Jennifer Sey Has The Last Word Apr 09, 2024

Show notes

Former Levi's President Jennifer Sey has always been on the side of truth. As a gymnast herself, she was the first to speak out about the abuse of female gymnasts. As a mom, she roared against the COVID machine that demanded masking and school closures. And now, she's put her marketing genius into action with a new clothing line, XX-XY Athletics. http://thetruthfits.com/

Mayor Brandon Weiberg of Taylors Falls, MN Apr 04, 2024

Show notes

Given a choice between financially supporting his family and declining an experimental vaccine mandated by his employer, Brandon Weiberg acquiesced to the jab and subsequently suffered vaccine related side-effects and an adverse health outcome. Rather than defer to "experts", Brandon ran for Mayor in his town and now seeks to empower individuals and defend free speech through a Health Freedom Resolution allowing business owners to set their own standards.

Bayard Winthrop, CEO of American Giant Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

China hates us, but we let them manufacture all our stuff — much of it done by forced labor. The exceptional Bayard Winthrop, CEO and Founder of American Giant, is betting on America. He has moral, ethical, patriotic, and economic reasons for making all his company’s clothing in America. By the end of this podcast, you’ll wish Mr. Winthrop was running for President. One of my favorite episodes EVER.

The NCAA’s so-called, “Transgender Student-Athlete Participation Policy” is nothing less than institutionalized discrimination which results in sanctioned cheating. Mar 28, 2024

Show notes

"The NCAA cannot succeed in achieving ethical sport so long as it endorses a policy
of discrimination against female student-athletes. Because of the NCAA’s track
record of persistent disregard for competitive fairness for female student-athletes, I
have decided that continued service on the Division I Committee on Infractions is
not an effective way for me to contribute to a level playing field in college sport."

William Bock, formerly of the NCAA Committee on Infractions, joins Michele.

Lady Gaga got this one Wrong-Wrong Mar 21, 2024

Show notes

Michele explains why she's not a fan of identity politics. Women's History Month, however, should be dedicated to real women... And that's where Michele and Lady Gaga disagree.

What is Women’s History? Mar 19, 2024

Show notes

Michele shares the story of a University of Cincinnati student who received a failing grade for using the term, “biological women.” At a time in civilization when some people can’t answer the question, “What is a woman?”, it seems odd that we should celebrate Women’s History Month. If anyone can be a woman, what’s the point of celebrating women specifically?

Reviewing the Oscars with Christian Toto Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

Film critic Christian Toto ( https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/ ) joins Michele to talk about the highs and lows of the Oscars and of Hollywood in general. Why can’t Disney get it right? Did the recent strikes make actors more appreciative of their lifestyle? And was Barbie really worth it?

A TikTok Ban Would Make us Safer Mar 12, 2024

Show notes

TikTok. A port into Gaza. The reduction in military troops. Which of these ideas are sound? Which are foolish? Veterans on Duty (VOD) is an organization whose mission is to “ensure the United States of America has a strong, prepared, and focused military.” VOD Chairman, Jeremy Hunt, and Advisory Board member, Jimmy Byrn, join Michele to drop some truth bombs.
