  • Finally a Latino with common sense!

    Yo Rich! I really enjoy your show. Very informative especially when it comes to the history of this country, economics and, the understanding of our political climate. It is really great to hear a Latino on conservative views. Keep up the good work! P.S. Love it when you start throwing the Spanish lingo in your show! With a bit of Sofrito!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iran Capitulates?, Interview: EJ Antoni, Isolation
Q: What can we expect for energy prices if Hormuz reopens and how long might it take to normalize?
Prices will likely come down once crude can flow again, but damaged infrastructure will delay normalization; there is limited excess capacity globally, and bringing back full capacity could take weeks to months.
Iran Capitulates?, Interview: EJ Antoni, Isolation
Q: What is your take on the Forbes critique of the latest jobs report and how it compares to previous administrations?
There are kernels of truth about revisions and reliability, but the big differences lie in federal hiring and the private sector versus government jobs; Trump reduced federal employment while Biden expanded it, which affected the headline figure differently from the underlying employment quality.
Hungary, Homeland, Hormuz Hostilities
Q: What is the significance of CPAC Hungary in the broader conservative movement?
CPAC Hungary is portrayed as a hub for conservative exchange, linking European anti-globalist sentiment with American libertarian and Christian-democratic values, and featuring speakers who argue for sovereignty and traditional cultural preservation.
Clinton whines, California loses, Comments from Jen Kelly (interview only)
Q: First, Hillary Clinton is testifying in a deposition with remarks about accountability and a broader political strategy being discussed. What is your read on the significance of this deposition for the midterms?
The deposition is portrayed as a major political win for Republicans, signaling accountability and a potential shift in momentum, while also illustrating how legal processes can influence public perception and electoral strategy ahead of the midterms.
Trump Topples Tehran, Torricelli weighs in
Q: Talk to me about your thoughts on this, thumbs up, thumbs down, how did it go?
Torricelli argues the strike was justified after decades of failed negotiations, stressing that dealing with Iran's regime required decisive action to prevent ongoing attacks, and he sees potential for an Iranian democratic movement to emerge from the upheaval.
