From SPLC to DSA: Alphabet Soup Goes Sour Aug 14, 2026

Show notes

-An SPLC scandal gives Rob enough material for an entire comedy set as he discusses federal charges against a former Southern Poverty Law Center CFO, allegations involving payments to informants, and the bizarre personal details surrounding the case.

-Mary Walter joins Rob for a conversation that somehow travels from Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and Gen-X childhoods to a contentious surrogacy case, abortion, New Jersey’s surprisingly lofty livability ranking, Jersey diners, Wyoming winters, the possible resurrection of MySpace and Rob’s first pilgrimage to Buc-ee’s

-Dearborn becomes the final battleground of the hour as Rob reacts to the police chief urging residents to stay home ahead of a planned anti-Islam protest at a city council meeting, arguing that residents have every right to demonstrate peacefully—and closing the hour with considerably more fireworks than MySpace ever generated.

Guacamole Friday and the Socialist Circus Aug 14, 2026

Show notes

-Tony Kinnett of The Daily Signal joins the show for a rapid-fire tour through Democratic candidates, socialism, Minnesota fraud, Iowa politics and a particularly disastrous remark suggesting grain farmers only work a few weeks a year.

-Rob and Kinnett discuss a Daily Signal report about a Chinese national with alleged intelligence and sniper training purchasing a building roughly 650 feet from the White House—prompting Rob to propose the decidedly low-tech counterintelligence strategy of driving past and giving him the finger.

Feminism: The Goddess That Failed Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

-Rob puts political polling on trial and finds it guilty of malpractice, pointing to wildly inaccurate primary projections and Frank Luntz’s warning that low-turnout elections make confident predictions especially shaky. Rob’s takeaway: polls are less crystal ball and more Magic 8 Ball with a political science degree.

-Janice Fiamengo, author of The Goddess That Failed, joins Rob for a sweeping and provocative conversation about the failure of feminism. They discuss feminism’s ideological roots, victimhood and identity politics, transgender participation in women’s sports, attraction to dangerous men, and whether younger men and women are beginning to reject those cultural trends. Fiamengo argues feminism has historically been driven by envy more than a pursuit of equality.

Comedy’s Back— and Somebody’s Getting Offended Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

-Rob declares “Woke 1.0” a product nobody gets to quietly discontinue, arguing that politicians who embrace defunding police and other progressive causes can’t simply slap a new version number on the past and move along. Stephen Miller supplies the rhetorical flamethrower as Rob happily adds gasoline.

-Newsmax hotline guest Vince August brings politically incorrect comedy back without a permission slip. The veteran stand-up and Rob discuss offended audiences, social media turning everyone into the star of their own TV show, the return of unrestricted comedy, the WNBA, transgender athletes and why connecting with real people on the road beats chasing an algorithm. August also plugs his Amazon Prime special Comedy for All.

Goodbye Sweet Karoline, Hello Woke Hangovers Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

-Rob bids a “Sweet Caroline” farewell to Karoline Leavitt, praising her tenure as White House press secretary and sizing up possible replacements—including Stephen Miller, Matt Boyle, Lydia Moynihan and his personal “kaboom” candidate, Alina Habba.

-AOC calls the excesses of the progressive era “Woke 1.0,” but Rob isn’t accepting the software update. He argues Democrats are trying to distance themselves from defund-the-police politics and the upheaval surrounding 2020, while Stephen Miller delivers a blistering rebuttal later in the hour.

-Guest Michael A. Charbon brings a Canadian grab bag of WNBA controversy, snoozing self-driving motorists, a Narcan-requiring raccoon and a 729-pound shark cruising toward the St. Lawrence. He and Rob debate Caitlin Clark and the WNBA’s politics, discuss the promise and pitfalls of autonomous cars, then somehow arrive at drugged wildlife and a real-life Jaws scenario—which is quite a journey even by hotline standards.

Big Tent, Bigger Problems Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

-The Democratic “big tent” becomes Rob’s favorite political horror movie. He argues party leaders welcome increasingly radical DSA activists only to discover they’ve invited people who want to tear down the institutions holding up the tent. In Rob’s version, the newcomers aren’t houseguests—they’re vampires who immediately start redecorating.

-NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck joins Rob to dissect the Democrats’ “big tent,” Francesca Hong’s defeat, Abdul El-Sayed and media coverage of progressive candidates. Houck also argues that journalists aren’t giving enough attention to government fraud and corruption. The conversation eventually reaches Hasan Piker’s expensive home, proving no discussion of socialism is complete until somebody asks who paid for the Hollywood real estate.

From Woke to Broke: Democrats Hit the Brakes Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

-Rob treats Francesca Hong’s Wisconsin defeat like the political equivalent of Democrats hitting the emergency eject button. After Hong enters election week heavily favored, Rob argues her loss shows Democrats are realizing the DSA brand could be electoral kryptonite outside the party’s most progressive pockets.

-Mike Lindell discovers that even a Trump endorsement can’t fluff every political pillow. Rob argues Lindell torpedoes his Minnesota campaign by proposing conditional visas for some undocumented immigrants, complete with a pathway to obtaining driver’s licenses. Rob’s career advice afterward is considerably simpler: maybe stick to selling pillows.

-Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer joins Rob for an economic-and-national-security tour that takes several scenic detours.Shaffer discusses inflation, Trump’s economy, student debt and the DSA before weighing in on Iran, where he argues economic pressure is squeezing the regime and recommends giving that strategy time to work.

Socialism Gets a Wisconsin Wake-Up Call Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

-Rob says Democrats invite the DSA into their “big tent” and discover they’ve basically welcomed vampires into the house. He argues the socialist movement isn’t catching on nationally and points to Wisconsin’s primary, where David Crowley narrowly defeats Francesca Hong despite predictions that Hong is headed for victory.

-Wisconsin election night develops a serious case of “check the USB drive.” Officials say five flash drives arrive at Milwaukee’s central count containing audit logs instead of election results because of human error, sending Rob into a lengthy discussion about election administration and his demand for faster, more trustworthy vote counting.

-“Wise Guys” host John Tabacco joins Rob with the incredible Scott LoBaido update: the activist suffers a cardiac emergency following a heated encounter at a Staten Island event, is revived by first responders, undergoes treatment—and then helps arrange a plane banner aimed at Zohran Mamdani while recovering. Tabacco and Rob also dig into New York taxes, rent freezes, government grocery-store proposals and what Tabacco describes as growing buyer’s remorse over Mamdani.
