    Tried to listen to the item on cancel culture but the ads broke my concentration. Enough!

    May, 2026 : Did I hear someone advocating for public hangings? I must have misheard.

  • NOT the Federalist Society

    Stridently anti-federalist, pro-Trump (and therefore anti-conservative) dreck. Nationalistic reactionary populism devoid of any interesting thought or commentary.

    They are definitely against the left, which is fine, but they stand for nothing except Trumpism and pandering to those people; committed to confirming the biases of the most honking and arousing the passions of the unthinking.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

There's Nothing Stopping Blue States From Letting Noncitizens Vote -- Yet
Q: Why do you think Democrats have opposed measures like the Save America Act or the citizen voting amendment?
Fortenberry argues Democrats count on non-citizens voting to gain power, making the issue politically advantageous for them in the long run, which is framed as a strategic rather than a humanitarian concern.
The Shocking Truth About Teachers Unions’ Spending
Q: How has the pandemic years' handling of school openings influenced union funding and policy goals?
The guest notes that pandemic-era decisions amplified union influence, with money directed toward social-emotional learning and other curricula, and stresses that recovery efforts have been undermined by ongoing political objectives.
The Shocking Truth About Teachers Unions’ Spending
Q: What is the biggest area you've seen in terms of funding flowing from unions to political causes?
Nicole explains that large-scale matching dollars go toward PACs and left-leaning campaigns, with state-level race funding and national advocacy groups directing a significant portion of union dues away from classroom priorities.
A Week Of Election Integrity Wins
Q: Can I ask you something real quick?
Ken Cuccinelli discusses the current Virginia map and constitutional challenges, emphasizing that the process and timing of amendments have significant legal consequences, and he critiques how political actors have framed the referendum and redistricting.
‘The Kylee Cast’ feat. Tony Kinnett, Ep. 39: Attempted Trump Assassin Was Only As Deranged As Your Average Democrat
Q: What does this incident reveal about media and political polarization?
The discussion frames the event as a flashpoint showing media self-critique, political vitriol, and the way ideological narratives shape perceptions of danger and responsibility, not just a single act of violence.
