As Elon Musk checked out of DOGE and left government service, he promised he would be starting his own political party: the America party. Now, it appears he is back in the fickle embrace of MAGA… and it’s no accident. According to the Washington Post, Vice President JD Vance spent much of the summer and fall working to bring Musk back into the good graces of Donald Trump.Despite disagreements on the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” and the Epstein files, Musk really wanted his associate Jared

Presidential pardons for sale? The Wall Street Journal is reporting that lobbyists "close to Trump" are charging $1m and up, one went for $6m, to get presidential pardons for their clients. The Wall Street Journal says in the case of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Binance paid $800,000 to lobby for the pardon along with added "success fees of as much as $5 million." Is anyone surprised? We will talk about it with iHeart TV and radio political analyst Gary Dietrich. We’ll keep the political

It seems using the military against United States citizens crosses a line even Supreme Court justices aren’t comfortable, stepping over. Yesterday, the Supreme Court denied Trump’s emergency request to keep National Guard troops in Illinois. The preliminary decision may impact National Guard deployments in other states too. We will dig deeper into that ruling as we welcome presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann to the show. Our very own J-L Cauvin is running for Congress in New

If Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest is any indicator, MAGA, conservatives and conspiracy theorists are no longer aligned. From so called ‘Heritage Americans’ being more important than other more recent Americans to America First policies and blatant racism/antisemitism, the speakers at the event ripped into each other. The infighting was so awkward, Erika Kirk said it “Feels like a Thanksgiving dinner where your family’s hashing out the family business,” JD Vance tried to laugh it off but ended up

The President's address to the nation last night was a smorgasboard of his favorite hits. He railed against former President Biden and touted questionable economic numbers. He did announce a bonus for members of the military. His so called "Warrior Dividend" will be paid for by his controversial tariff policies, without the approval of Congress. We will talk about Trump's odd speech and about the latest release of pictures related to Jeffrey Epstein. Former Federal Prosecutor and now defense

President Trump is moving to put a blockade in place around Venezuela, targeting all “sanctioned oil tankers.” He claims Venezuela is using oil to fund drug trafficking and according to the Associated Press, Trump says he will "continue the military buildup until the country gives the U.S. oil, land and assets. The blockade comes after the US seized an oil tanker in the region last week. Meanwhile, the attacks on suspected "drug boats" off Venezuela continues and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

It may be that bad mouthing a beloved American Icon on he day he died is too much for even Trump to overcome. Usually, the public expects cruelty from Trump and his outbursts bring a collective shrug. His nasty words about actor/director Rob Reiner being killed because of Trump Derangement Syndrome seem to have been a bridge too far. Even some MAGA faithful are turning away and finding it hard to defend Trump this time. We will talk about it with Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative

Blatant theft and an act of piracy. That's what Venezuela is calling the actions of the United States in the seizure of an oil tanker. The ship was leaving Venezuela when US Marines and Special Forces dropped down from a helicopter and took the tanker. It's the latest in a string of actions, including blowing up so called "drug boats", escalating a possible confrontation between the US and Venezuela. We'll discuss whether it was piracy or lawful with former federal prosecutor David Katz.

It appears that GOP leaders in Congress are turning away from extending tax credits that would help more than 20 million Americans pay for Affordable Care Act health insurance. They’re following President Donald Trump’s lead. He told Politico he would not endorse extending subsidies that are set to expire, despite billing himself as the affordability president. So far, Trump’s only plan for healthcare is to give people $2k to pay for it without offering details of how that would work. We welcome

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is taking heat from all sides. A growing number of members of Congress, both Democrat and Republican, are vowing to provide special oversight after his the "Kill Them All" order took out two people dangling from the wreckage of a boat off the coast of Venezuela. Whether the boat was being used by fishermen or to run drugs is at question, as is whether the men posed a clear and present danger to the United States.

According to the White House Press Secretary, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized Admiral Frank Bradley to carry out a second strike on a burning drug boat, already hit by one US mortar, in the Caribbean. Two people were hanging off the boat after it was hit the first time and reportedly did not survive the second strike. Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says there is no question the second strike was a war crime. The matter brings to the forefront the question of what constitutes an
