    Kenny is a class act that is on a mission for truth. I enjoy listening to his thoughts and is always worth listening to. I enjoy all his insight and care for America, but most importantly, his commitment to his faith. Thanks for what you are doing my friend.

    This guy is so confused. Propaganda spreader and ignorant. So easy to spot the contradictions in his arguments and illogical fallacies.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DEI is Going Underground - What to Watch
Q: How do you balance free speech with awareness of Marxist influences on campuses?
Preserve robust free speech while recognizing ongoing ideological influence; advocate for policies that protect dissent and ensure campuses remain places for rigorous intellectual debate without capitulating to donor pressures that quash controversial viewpoints.
DEI is Going Underground - What to Watch
Q: Can you explain the endowment tax idea and what happened politically?
The endowment tax proposed a levy on university endowments above a certain per-student threshold to incentivize reinvestment in education and innovation, but lobbying and political maneuvering limited it to a very small rate, leaving a weaker version in place.
DEI is Going Underground - What to Watch
Q: What is the current status of the war on woke in 2026 according to your view?
It's in a holding pattern; the next leftist iteration isn't fully clear, but the current setup shows retreat in some campuses while leftist thought remains embedded in universities, necessitating continued vigilance and bold advocacy.
Creating and Funding Protests (With Adam Swart)
Q: Do you pay your protesters?
Oh, yeah, of course we do.
Creating and Funding Protests (With Adam Swart)
Q: What do you mean? What happened that made it start a genocide?
There were essentially feverish calls kind of similar to what happened in Rwanda in the 90s, where it was basically like spreading misinformation about this ethnicity, which whipped up a fury of vigilante, but also government-sponsored attacks.
