  • Wires crossed????

    Today, April 13’s content was along about the bite “old news” of the Michigan synagogue terror attack. The description was about the new Iranian blockade—no match whatsoever for actual content

  • Great info

    Please stop using AI to write your scripts. And if you do, please stop reading them like you’re an AI voice. Be human. Your iHeart intro says “Guaranteed human”right?

    Other than that really great info. Thank you for letting me skip all the commercials. They are really overloaded.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MASSIVE Victory for Student-Athletes & Fans as 3/4 of the Senate Votes for the Protect College Sports Act
Q: How is the cap structure designed to balance competitiveness and fairness across conferences?
The cap structure uses a three-bucket approach (revenue sharing, a retention bonus, and additional funding for women's and Olympic/non-revenue sports) to create parity; the intent is to prevent the wealthiest programs from driving every other program out of business while preserving a sustainable ecosystem across conferences.
MASSIVE Victory for Student-Athletes & Fans as 3/4 of the Senate Votes for the Protect College Sports Act
Q: What changes does the bill specifically implement for transfers and eligibility?
The bill gives every athlete one free transfer with limited exceptions; a second transfer is allowed only if their coach leaves, their program cancels, or in cases of sexual assault/harassment, followed by sitting out a year and losing a year of eligibility; it also standardizes five years of eligibility to prevent older players from dominating rosters.
GOP Convention in Texas, plus Talarico Called for “Dismantling” Prisons & Argued All Religions are Equally True
Q: Final question for you on this. What is the core takeaway you want voters to remember as they head to the polls?
The goal is to expose the truth about Talarico's record and positions, particularly his calls to dismantle capitalism and prisons, and to contrast them with Texans' values and the proven policy victories of the Republican platform.
Going Further—The Incomparable Clarence Thomas Week In Review
Q: Why is Reconstruction so central to your understanding of the Constitution?
Reconstruction is essential because it redefines citizenship, rights, and the balance of power, connecting the 14th Amendment to the broader arc of liberty and equality in American history.
Going Further—The Incomparable Clarence Thomas Week In Review
Q: What sparked your shift from anger in youth to a principled conservative?
Exposure to reading, mentors like Thomas Sowell, and experiences in seminary and law shaped a gradual intellectual awakening toward conservatism.
