9:06

Show Open:

  • At the end of last year, we were being promised that the BBB was going to unleash U.S. economic activity – like never before.  That is not happening and it may not be due to the war.
  • Inflation held firm last month; could that change the longer the war goes on?
  • Mortgage rates jump to highest level in over 3 months
  • Average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rose to 6.22%, Freddie Mac says. (Fox Business)
  • Little change to new jobless benefits over the past two-weeks: Labor Department report released yesterday indicated that unemployment remained unchanged, however; employers appear to be shying away from massive layoffs.  Why?

Panelist:

Jason Sorens: Senior Research Fellow, American Institute for Economic Research

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

9:20

Segment Topic:

  • Gold and silver plummet, is it due to the Iran war?
  • Would $200 a barrel oil drive the U.S. economy into a recession?
  • US national debt breaches $39 trillion milestone for first time amid spending surge
  • National debt surpassed $39T for first time this week, just five months after hitting $38T milestone.  Our national debt appears to be accelerating out of control.

Panelist:

Jason Sorens: Senior Research Fellow, American Institute for Economic Research

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

9:35

Monologue:

“Caesar Salad”

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

10:05

Segment Topic:

  • My friends, the conservative movement, is gaining steam in Europe.  There is an equivalent to MAGA.  In Germany it is called: AfD: Alternative for Deutschland.
  • According to the Pew Research Center, around one-in-five Germans (19%) see AfD favorably, but a large majority (79%) have a negative opinion of the party. 
  • The conservative movement is alive and well in Germany, but it appears to be suffering from anti-EU propaganda.
  • Two years ago, 9% of German adults have a positive view of AfD. This is the highest favorability they have recorded in eight years of surveys on the topic.
  • The party’s favorability is up significantly from 14% in 2021, though largely unchanged from the 17% measured last year.
  • Other German political parties have generally become less popular in recent years, while AfD has gained in popularity, why?
  • Germans overall have confidence in Trump to do the right thing regarding world affairs. But AfD supporters in Germany are much more likely than non-supporters to express confidence in him (39% vs. 9%).
  • Do your supporters view U.S. President Donald Trump as something of a leader of your party?
  • Only 19% of Germans with a favorable view of the party think their country’s economy is in good shape. Among Germans who have an unfavorable view of AfD, 45% think the country’s economic situation is good.
  • Only 20% of Germans with a favorable view of the party say democracy in their country is working well. Among Germans with an unfavorable view of the party, 65% believe their democracy is working well.
    Again, views among AfD supporters have soured in recent years. In fall 2020, 51% of those with favorable views of the party thought German democracy was working well.
  • Germans with a favorable view of AfD are far less likely than non-supporters to see the European Union favorably.  Does your party favor a separation from the EU and if so; why?
  • As you know, here in the United States, Donald Trump and his supporters have been targeted by the establishment in Washington.  We have heard that AfD has been targeted by similar forces in Germany and Brussels.  Is that true; and how have you been targeted?
  • How does your party feel about Chancellor Merz? 
  • Merz has declined to support keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for oil shipments.  What is AfD’s position?

Panelist:

Beatrix Von Storch, Deputy Parliamentary Group Leader, Alternative Party for Germany (AfD)

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

10:35

Segment Topics:

  • It’s not just Iran that has motive to strike the United States from within—China does too, and in many ways, it already is. But instead of missiles, Beijing’s battlefield is the American mind. Through media, technology, and coordinated influence campaigns, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is waging a form of cognitive war—one aimed at shaping perception, sowing division, and influencing behavior from within America’s borders.
    • I am sure you have seen the very colorful television commercials promoting the Chinese production: Shen Yun.  Would you believe the CCP does not want you to see this show and has been trying to shut them down at all costs?  Why?
    • Why is Shen Yun so dangerous to the CCP?
    • Are there similarities between how the CCP reacted to Falun Gong and Shen Yun?
      • Not bombs—behavior: The CCP’s fight isn’t kinetic (yet), it’s psychological—shaping how Americans think, not just what they see.
  • Propaganda in plain sight: Favorable CCP narratives aren’t just overseas—they’re appearing inside U.S. media ecosystems.
  • Intimidation on U.S. soil: Performers tied to Shen Yun Performing Arts report threats, disruption, and pressure campaigns here in America.
  • Soft targets, real consequences: Cultural institutions—not just governments—are becoming battlegrounds in this influence war.
  • Blind spot in plain view: While focus stays on TikTok and trade, a quieter campaign is unfolding with far less scrutiny.
  • This is all happening in real time, as the U.S. continues welcoming Chinese students through a visa program that steers many of them into journalism careers. The problem is determining their allegiance.
  • The film centers on performers and organizers affiliated with Shen Yun Performing Arts, who allege they have faced a pattern of intimidation efforts that extend far beyond China’s borders. These include reported interference with venues, threats aimed at discouraging attendance and coordinated attempts to silence or discredit the group in the United States.
  • At a time when policymakers and media alike are focused on Chinese influence through platforms like TikTok and economic leverage, UNBroken presents a different—and largely overlooked—front: the targeting of cultural institutions on American soil.
  • Lance brings firsthand investigative insight into how these operations allegedly function, what evidence exists to support them, and why they may not be receiving the level of scrutiny seen in other China-related stories. His reporting also explores the broader implications for free expression, national sovereignty, and the safety of individuals who find themselves at odds with authoritarian regimes—even while living in the U.S.
  • This is not just a story about one company. It raises larger questions: How far can foreign governments go to suppress dissent beyond their borders? Are existing safeguards sufficient to protect those targeted? And why are some of these incidents flying under the radar?
  • With China dominating headlines, this conversation offers a fresh, deeply human angle—one that intersects national security, civil liberties, and cultural freedom in a way that is both immediate and compelling.
  • Casey Fleming, the last time you joined us on Your News Talk America, you mentioned that your firm is providing protection for the cast and company of Shen Yun.  Tell us about it.
  • Is suppressing Chinese history and culture from the past part of the Red Tsunami?

Panelist:

Steve Lance, investigative journalist, Vice President of NTD Television, and executive producer of the new documentary UNBroken

Casey Fleming: CEO of Black Ops Partners, Author: The Red Tsunami: The Silent Storm Killing Your Freedom

  • National Debt Tops $39 Trillion:
  • Why and How Congress Must Stop Speeding Down the Road to $40 Trillion (Economic Policy Innovation Center/David Ditch)
  • The gross national debt broke the $39 trillion threshold on March 17, 2026. For comparison, the debt was $34.5 trillion on March 15, 2024, an increase of $4.5 trillion in just two years. This took place without a recession, a large “stimulus” spending package, or a full-scale military operation. In other words, the rapid accumulation of debt is primarily due to structural problems rather than events.
  • While it took longer for the most recent $1 trillion in added debt (21 weeks) compared to the previous $1 trillion (10 weeks), this is still a troubling pace. Without dramatic legislative action, the debt will reach $40 trillion before the end of the 2026 calendar year and quite possibly before the end of fiscal year (FY) 2026 on September 30. For perspective, the U.S. is not projected to reach $40 trillion in annual GDP until 2032.
  • How much of our deficit can be traced to waste fraud and abuse?
  • Do we need a DOGE reboot and fast?
  • Brittany, you have been a panelist on this program several times over the past year discussing Obamacare and the subsidies.  The subsidies have expired.  Now we hear that at least some of those Americans who lost government subsidies are going uninsured.  Is this a political move by the Dems to force the Republicans hands and reinstate government subsidies for the ACA?

Panelist:

Brittany Madni is the Executive Vice President of the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC). She served as a Congressional aide and trusted senior advisor for a decade on Capitol Hill, developing a nuanced understanding of the legislative process with an emphasis on budget and appropriations strategy. https://epicforamerica.org/bios/brittany-madni/

  • "We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
  • "Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth," he continued. "We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time."
  • Trump also appeared to signal a significant action later on Friday, writing, "Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today."
  • "They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!" the president said. (President Trump/Truth Social)
  • Two more terrorist attacks on U.S. soil yesterday. If Schumer and the Dem-Coms continue to support the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, they are state sponsors of terrorism!
  • Iran using cluster-munitions when the world has condemned their use!

10:05

Segment Topic:

    • Audio cut 1: Aaron Cohen, founder of Gideon (Fox News Channel)
  • Terrorist attacks in Norfolk, VA and Bloomfield, Michigan, while DHS remains unfounded and shutdown.
  • When you analyze both terror attacks yesterday, what factors are clearly evident from a law-enforcement perspective?
  • The Old Dominion terrorist was already convicted of terrorism, was sentenced to prison and was released early – only to resume his terror ops against the United States?
  • Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, the ODU shooter, was sentenced to 11 years in prison previously for his support of ISIS.
  • In 2017, Jalloh was sentenced to 11 years in prison for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, according to the DOJ. 
  • Jalloh, a naturalized US citizen from Sierra Leone, became absorbed into the world of ISIS after leaving his post as a combat engineer with the Virginia National Guard.
  • He specifically admired Anwar al-Awlaki, the slain leader of Al-Qaeda’s branch in the Arabian Peninsula, and other known terrorists, the DOJ said.
  • He met up with members of ISIS sometime during a six-month stay in Africa in 2016. 
  • During one meeting, Jalloh mentioned a desire to launch his own terror attack, taking inspiration from the 2009 mass shooting in Ft. Hood, Texas, where a US Army major shouted “allahu akbar”before he fatally shot 13 people and injured 32 others. (NY Post)
  • Convicted to an eleven-year sentence.
  • Served only eight-years for providing support to ISIS.
  • Do you believe that all these recent terror attacks: Austin, NYC, Old Dominion and the Synagogue in Michigan are all “LONE WOLF” attacks?
  • Jodi, would you be concerned if you boarded a plane at O’Hare today, with unpaid, overworked, disgusted TSA agents responsible for your safety?
  • Are we at the point where we will need local law enforcement to takeover airport security, because Capitol Hill has politicized post-9/11 safety measures?
  • A new Clemson University report found dozens of social media accounts associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)pushing anti-Israel and anti-U.S. content to sow online discord during the ongoing Iran-U.S. war.
  • According to a report released Wednesday, at least 62 accounts across X, Bluesky and Instagram were found to have connections to the IRGC despite claiming to be users from the Americas, England, Scotland or Ireland. Though most accounts were less than 1 year old, some were created as far back as December 2023.
  • How has the terror threat changed in the United States since the outbreak of “Operation Epic Fury?” Has open-borders placed us on a collision course with fighting this war on two-fronts. 
  • Are we going to see a massive attack (like 9/11); or will we continue to see the kinds of attacks we have seen since the start of “Operation Epic Fury?”
  • What happened to eliminating the enemy over there; before they can attack us over here?
  • Can you provide recommendations to Americans watching this morning? Can you provide recommendations to those who plan to attend a house of worship this weekend and in the days and months ahead?

 

Panelist:

Jody Weis Former FBI agent; former Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department

Jeffrey Halstead, Former Police Chief: Fort Worth

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

10:35

Segment Topics:

  • If Red States are able to lower property taxes why are Blue States raising them?
  • In New York City, champagne socialist talking points are starting to meet real-world consequences. Mayor Zohran Mamdaniis now floating the idea of a 10% property tax increase to fund his social programs and plug a looming budget hole. 
  • The city he leads is already the most expensive place to live in the country, with families everywhere still trying to catch up to higher costs. A massive tax hike like his proposal would only make things worse, especially for middle-class New Yorkers.
  • Isn’t it true that those on the Upper East Side will just pay the increases? After all, there are not many average middle-class taxpayers left in the five-boroughs?

Has the mass-migration out of Blue-States and Blue-cities created problems for those in New York, California and Oregon?  Those who paid carried the tax burden are gone?

Panelist:

Brooke Medina: Vice President of Communications for State Policy Network.  Ms. Medina says in an opinion piece in the Washington Examiner that: “Champagne socialism is forced to raise its glass to economic reality.”

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

10:50

Segment Topic:

  • Is energy policy, national security policy?
  • Has the outbreak of “Operation Epic Fury” proven that energy (cheap and abundant) is national security priority?
  • Iran is reminder we must unleash America’s energy abundance.  How can you unleash, what the Democrat Communists in Washington want to restrain?
  • President Trump was right when he demanded “drill baby drill” and has undone much of the Biden Green New Scam.
    • The hallmarks of the Biden presidency were reckless spending and stifling energy policies that led to 40-year high inflation and $5 gallon gasoline. 
    • We’re fortunate to have a President and Republicans in Congress committed to unlocking American energy and they’ve done a lot but much more work remains. What else needs to be done?
    • What Congress needs to do to support the President on energy now is permitting reform. 
    • What about reform at the EPA and other Federal agencies?
    • What about the time it takes to obtain permits?
    • AI Data Centers/Ratepayer Protection Pledge. The pledge is all well and good; isn’t the real problem with electric rates that politicians have been sleeping with the climate wacko’s – forcing us to pay for it?
    • AI is going to be vital for our economic and national security. 
    • Last week, President Trump announced data center infrastructure plans that will position the USA to lead while protecting Americans from increased electricity bills. 
    • President Trump called on the leading United States hyper-scalers and AI companies to build, bring, or buy all of the energy needed for building and operating data centers, paying the full cost of their energy and infrastructure, no matter what. 
    • As part of the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, companies agree to protect American consumers from price hikes due to data center energy and infrastructure requirements, and lower electricity costs for consumers in the long term. https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-advances-energy-affordability-with-the-ratepayer-protection-pledge/
    • Yesterday, we had a panelist on YNTA, who emphasized the need for America to decentralize its power generation to make it more difficult for a terror attack to affect a large area. In this age of increased terrorism, would smaller, isolated power generating stations be something we should prioritize?

Panelist:

Faith Burns: Policy Fellow, Energy Policy: Americans for Prosperity

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

11:06

Segment Topic:

  • Operation Epic Fury, is it historical, Biblical or both?
  • Are AI generate images going to create huge propaganda opportunities for the enemy?

  • Was a nuclear Iran imminent?
  • Operation “Epic Fury” a historic opportunity (Todd Sheets).
  • Peace Through Strength in Iran Is Not Iraq 2.0 (Judd Dunning)
  • Has 47-years of John Kerry sponsored appeasement brought us to this point?

Panelist:

Brigadier General Blaine Holt, USAF (ret), Host: Dangerous Intellectuals Podcast https://www.dangerousintellectuals.com/

Todd Sheets, author of the Newsletter, On Wealth and Progress also available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple...   and the book, 2008: What Really Happened

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

11:33

Segment Topic:

  • Watchdog Reports 2026: Thousands of student’s ditch class as anti-ICE protests surge in 2026!
  • So now, thousands of students are ditching class to protest law enforcement. Mind you, this same law enforcement keeps these students protected from illegals who rape, murder, and bring harm to Americans just like them. Millions of instructional hours are now lost, while schools shrug and "activism" trumps actual schooling. This is educational suicide!
  • Parents shouldn’t hear, “Sit down and learn." They should be asking: "What values are schools teaching, and what are our kids walking out for?" Whoever is educating our kids is shaping their worldview. Schools exist to educate, not to serve as political staging grounds. This nonsense has to stop. 
    • How can this stop when teachers’ unions are in control of our school districts?

9:06

Show Open:

  • The Kristi Noem Show got canceled yesterday by President Trump yesterday!
    • President loves and respects Tom Homan, but her war with Homan was a loser from the start.
    • Was her mismanagement of the trap sent by the Dem-Coms in Minnesota the first indication that she was over her head in the job?
    • Then; her alleged affair with Corey Lewandowski only provided more ammunition to the Dem-Coms.
    • Blankey-gate provided additional ammunition that Noem was more concerned with herself than homeland security.
    • Those head-scratching videos were similar to ones she paid for in South Dakota (as governor). Did she think she could get away with the same thing in the Trump Administration?
    • If John Kennedy gets you fired, you deserve to go!

 

  • John Kennedy (R-La.) told reporters after Noem’s termination that Trump was “mad as a murder hornet” and considering replacing her with Mullin on Tuesday night after her Senate testimony — though he didn’t do so until Thursday following her disastrous House testimony on Wednesday.
  • What do you think of Markwayne Mullin heading DHS?

    • The FBI has increased our terror threat since the outset of “Epic Fury.”
    • Wasn’t the terror attack in Austin last week a warning?
    • If a major terror attack occurs during operation “Epic Fury” isn’t that political suicide for Hakeem and Schumer for the midterms?
    • The Republicans have video evidence of them sitting on their miserable butts when asked to demonstrate their commitment to protect the homeland!

  • Has illegal immigration been used by the Uni-Party to destroy the Republic?
    • Schweizer’s latest investigation reveals how mass migration has evolved into a coordinated political and national-security weapon, aided by foreign adversaries and enabled by powerful domestic elites. Drawing on years of forensic research, confidential documents, and intercepted communications, The Invisible Coup exposes:
    • Mexico’s covert influence operations aimed at shaping U.S. elections. That is warfare; is it not?
    • When you say Mexico’s covert influence; aren’t you referring to the cartels?
    • A U.S. visa program allegedly designed by a Chinese intelligence asset to funnel foreign money into American politics.
      • How multiple administrations created “instant citizens” in ways that dramatically reshaped voter rolls. Which prior administrations do you point the finger?
    • Wasn’t the terror attack in Austin last week evidence of “instant citizens?” I call it: Dem-Com fast-track?
  • The import of millions of illegals, dumping them in Blue-States and protecting them as actual citizens is what we are talking about; isn’t it?
  • I call these states and cities: SUPER SANCTUARIES!
  • China’s exploitation of U.S. citizenship laws, including large-scale birth tourism operations.
  • How important is the Supreme Court decision on Birthright Citizenship?
  • The role of global NGOs and criminal networks in facilitating mass migration for political ends is treason, isn’t it?

Segment Topics:

  • Should Trump make the trip to Beijing? Is his safety in danger?  Could he be poisoned? Could he be exposed to a dangerous pathogen?
  • “Trump hit Iran; but he’s really got China in his crosshairs.” (Dr. Steven Mosher/NY Post)
  • Breaking: China in talks with Iran to allow safe oil and gas passage through Hormuz, sources say
  • With Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export terminal, in flames after Saturday’s US-led attack, China’s energy lifeline is going up in smoke.
  • Ignoring international sanctions, oil-thirsty China had long been the Ayatollah Khamenei regime’s main buyer.  
  • To be sure, China was a cheap customer, paying well below the going market price for Iran’s bootleg oil.  
  • Not only that, it insisted in paying in Chinese yuan, not dollars, ensuring the money would flow back to China.   
    • Beijing’s slick sales pitches convinced the Iranians to spend their oil billions buying China’s military and telecommunications equipment — like the “state-of-the-art” radar systems that now lie in smoldering ruinsafter failing to detect the incoming American airstrikes. (Like VZ)
    • But the decapitation of Iran’s leadership and the destruction of its Chinese-made defense arsenal aren’t the worst of Beijing’s Middle East woes.  
    • In March 2023, it brokered a normalization agreement between Shiite Iran and its longtime Sunni adversary Saudi Arabia.
    • And then; came Donald Trump and much has changed in the Middle East!
  • Donald Trump will be dealing with the Chinese from a position of strength when he visits Beijing later this month!
  • According to story on CNBC: Uncertainty is growing over U.S. President Donald Trump’s high-stakes trip to China after Washington targeted a second foreign leader in two months.
    • Trump announced over the weekend that joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran killed its Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei. In early January, the U.S. also captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife from their residence.
    • Analysts say those actions could complicate Trump’s high-stakes trip to Beijing.
    • “President Xi Jinpingwon’t feel easy about the death of the top leader of Iran,” said George Chen, partner at The Asia Group, noting Beijing’s relatively good relations with Tehran and Caracas. (CNBC)

Segment Topic:

  • Fairfax County, VA has been in the news quite a bit lately, and for not the right reasons!
    • Illegal Alien with More Than 30 Prior Arrests Fatally Stabs Woman at Virginia Bus Stop (Stephanie Minter age 41), ICE Requests Virginia Authorities Not Release This Public Safety Threat.
  • Police then arrested and charged Jalloh for murder. Jalloh was also charged with petit larceny for an additional crime that occurred earlier in the day.
    • Jalloh is an illegal alien from Sierra Leone who entered the U.S. illegally in 2012.
    • His criminal history includes more than 30 arrests for charges of rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft, trespassing, larceny, firing a weapon, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and pick pocketing. (DHS)
  • Why do we tell you this story, there is something wrong in Fairfax County! There is something rotten in the Commonwealth of Virginia!
  • Radical Teacher Union Bosses May Soon Have Control Over Schools Across VA!
    • Last month saw radical teacher union operatives force themselves into the spotlight, as they participated in protests that sought to disparage and even disrupt immigration enforcement actions across the country. In Oregon, reportseven emerged that agitators at teacher union-backed protests brought children to “protests” that escalated into violent clashes with law enforcement. This kind of agitation was egged on by Randi Weingarten and Becky Pringle, who head up the AFT and NEA – the nation’s two largest teacher unions.
  • Two bills that are rapidly advancing through the Virginia General Assembly would require school districts across the Old Dominion to give AFT and NEA union officials the same coercive control as they have in states where radical political agitation has sent shockwaves through communities.
  • Some school districts in Virginia have already voluntarily (if foolishly) granted union bosses power, including in Fairfax County where profligate funding demands from AFT-affiliated union bosses nearly bankruptedthe County in 2025. But this new legislation would force Virginia school districts to hand union bosses this kind of power.

    • The message from the US military’s Central Command showed black-and-white footage of the carrier ablaze after multiple strikes hit it.
    • The Iranian military did not immediately acknowledge the attack. Tehran has not been offering details on its materiel losses in the war so far.
    • The drone carrier, named the IRIS Shahid Bagheri, is a converted container ship.
    • Was this container ship used as a drone aircraft carrier?
      • Iran inaugurated the vessel in February 2025.
    • It appears that the U.S. is bombing underground missile storage and launching capabilities underground?

 

  • Iran continues to attack neighboring Gul States. What happens of those Gulf States decide to respond militarily against the Iranians?
  • Ryan, can you explain how AI is being used in war for the first time (Epic Fury)?

Segment Topic:

MAHA: The movie!

  • How do you “un-censor” MAHA?
  • The central question to the first ever MAHA movie is simple but unsettling:
    • Why are Americans sicker than ever after decades of medical “advancement”?
    • The film explores overmedication, mental health, chronic disease, and why many effective health solutions have been pushed out of the mainstream conversation in favor of profiting from sick Americans (and keeping us sick).
  • Who financed the project?
  • Does the project have the approval of HHS Secretary RFK Jr.?

How do we see MAHA?

Panelist:

Jeff Hays, director of MAHA Uncensored

    • S. employment picture brightens.
    • The U.S. unemployment rate was 4.3% in January 2026, with 7.4 million people unemployed. The rate saw a slight decrease from 4.4% in December 2025, although it remains higher than the 4.0% rate recorded a year prior. Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 130,000, driven by gains in health care and construction.

9:20

Segment Topic:

  • Are high-tax states (Blue States) on a death spiral?
    • Are Blue States deliberately keeping the cost of living artificially high in an effort to muddy the Trump accomplishments leading up to the midterms?
    • States like California and New York are bleeding taxpaying residents for illegals and we saw their reaction at the SOTU that they are not about to change course.

Panelist:

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

10:05

Segment Topic:

  • Current state of the U.S economy:
  • Is the Administration on-course to alter history on 2026 midterms?
  • Consumer confidence ticked up in February.
  • Mortgage rates fall below 6% for first time since 2022
    • Average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 5.98%, Freddie Mac says! (Fox Business)
    • Recent data from the Census Bureaureveals that while new home sales dipped slightly by 1.7% in December, the market remains surprisingly resilient, with annual sales outpacing 2024 levels by nearly 4%.
    • "The growth in mortgage demand reflects the gradual erosion of the lock-in effect, which began in early 2022 with the Fed [pivoting] to higher interest rates. Rising inventory in many markets has brought more choices to consumers and slowed home price growth," StreetMatrix real estate analyst Jonathan Miller told Fox News Digital.
    • "While many potential homebuyers are still hoping for mortgage rates to fall sharply," he continued, "there is a growing recognition that they won't return to the rock-bottom levels coming out of the pandemic and that home prices are only getting higher."
    • There are still those homeowners out there who are not going to budge to give up their 3% mortgages!
  • Americans hit with soaring electricity bills as price hikes outpace inflation nationwide!
    • Electricity prices jumped 6.3% from a year ago versus 2.4% headline inflation.
    • How much politics is submerged in these electric rate increases?
  • Trump’s war on credit card lenders: Is it bank bashing or part of the war on affordability?
    • According to Phil Kerpen, the Trump Administration’s decision to launch a reckless war on credit cards would harm Americans.  If both proposals were adopted, “credit would largely disappear, consumer spending would crash, and it could even trigger an economic recession.”

Don’t banks share much of the blame for charging outlandish interest rates to consumers who use plastic and carry balances over from month to month?
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/faith-freedom-self-reliance/4420598/trump-launches-reckless-war-on-credit-cards/

Panelist:

Phil Kerpen, President: American Commitment

10:35

Segment Topics:

  • Top Gun High Treason: USAF Elite Fighter Pilot Charged w/ Training CCP Pilots.
  • China selling hypersonic missiles to China.
  • China is fulling backing Iranian regime (Gordon Chang on “X”).
  • China just blocked Nvidia and U.S. chip makers from accessing DeepSeek's new AI model.
    • After years of stealing American tech, China's suddenly drawing lines.
    • DeepSeek built their models by ripping off OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI through "distillation." They also smuggled Nvidia's banned Blackwell chips into China to train their latest model.
      • The audacity is incredible. They are drawing the line with stolen crayons. (Mario Nawfal on “X.”)
    • The Epoch Times reports today that:

6 World Leaders Threatened in China-Linked Campaign Against Shen Yun

  • Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s evacuation from his residence in response to a bomb threat earlier this week was not an isolated incident. He’s one of six world leaders targeted in a China-linked intimidation campaign, The Epoch Times has learned.
  • Since January, bomb and death threats by email have targeted Canadian leader Mark Carney, Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, Italian President Sergio Mattarella, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

The emails are all similar in tone and in the graphic threats they make. All have been written in Chinese. Their message is the same: cancel scheduled shows by Shen Yun Performing Arts or face consequences.

    • Again, we have another example of AG Pam Bondi and FBI Head Kash Patel’s fatal mistake of not cleaning house the first day on the job. (Joe Hoft).
      • DOJ got away with spying on the Trump campaign in 2016 and 2024!

Kaelan, what did the tariff decision by the SCOTUS tell us about the state of the high court today – with justices openly siding with the president and providing advice on how to evade the decision?

Panelist:

Kaelan Deese, Department of Justice Reporter, The Washington Examiner

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

11:20

Segment Topic:

  • Jeffrey, what did you think about Tuesday night’s State of the Union Address?
  • I clearly remember Reagan being cheered by Democrat Conservatives on his side of the aisle during his SOTU addresses.
    • When Reagan returned following the failed assassination attempt by John Hinckley, he was loudly cheered by both sides of the aisle – as a hero. Can you imagine the Dem-Coms cheering Trump after three failed assassination attempts (three-attempts that we know of)?
  • Senator John Fetterman, Democrat conscience of the Senate!
    • What caused Fetterman’s conversion?
    • The Dem-Coms nationally and in Pennsylvania are already planning his removal in 2028.
  • Rush Limbaugh: Five Years Passed (Jeffrey Lord – MRC)
    • But without question Rush has been missed over the last five years and, for those who were alive in the day when he was on the air, he will continue to be missed.

Panelist:

Jeffrey Lord, Host: Word of the Lord Podcast, Jeffrey is a Contributing Writer for NewsBusters and a contributing editor to the American Spectator – his latest: Are Democrats on the Trump Payroll? The Democrat’s State of the Union clown show.

Segment Topic:

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.”

Edgar A Guest

  • So, when the funds are low and the debts are high, when care is pressing you down a bit – how can you march down a new path to prosperity?

9:06

Show Open:

  • The Washington Post's announcement of slashing over 300 jobs—roughly 30% of its workforce—while eliminating its sports section, books coverage, and gutting foreign and local reporting is a stark admission of failure.
  • What’s left; the classified section and weekend flea market locations?
  • Our friend Phil Kerpen reports that the layoffs have severely affected their climate change reporting department!
  • Are other Dem-Com rags headed for the same future (NY Slimes, LA Slimes)?
  • Ceasing of print operations in favor of an electronic version?
  • This is disastrous for Marxist State Media! Dem-Com propaganda machine has dealt a severe blow!

Panelist:

Curtis Houck, Managing Editor, Newsbusters

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

9:20

Segment Topic:

  • Kamala HQ is turning into Headquarters. I didn’t even know there was a Kamala HQ!
    • Headquarters, your online home for open-borders, incompetency and women who sleep with married men to advance their careers!
    • Curtis, I wonder if Headquarters will have a page presenting the rap sheets of Ice captures (child rapists, murderers, gang bangers, drug dealers)?
  • ABC Omits Guthrie Family’s Emphasis on God, Prayer in Search for Missing Mother!
  • ABC’s Good Morning America curiously and unnecessarily chose Thursday in their seven minutes and three seconds covering the latest developments in the suspected kidnapping of NBC’s Today co-host Savannah Guthrie’s mother to omit any mention by Savannah and her sister Annie of God, prayer, and their family’s Christian faith. And all told, there was only one mention of a prayer service Wednesday night in Tucson for her safe return.
    • In contrast, both CBS Mornings (led by an emotional Gayle King) and NBC’s Today not only played most of the family’s video, but discussed amongst themselves the need for all of us to pray for the Guthrie family in this troubling time.
    • Michael Strahan’s lisp is getting worse – he really should have that gap between his teeth fixed!
  • Posts to social media from Savanna’s mom (going back to 2020) reveal that she wanted the entire Trump family put in prison.
  • Savannah has not been friendly to President Trump in the past, and yet he has offered sympathy, prayers and help from the Federal Government.
  • Artemis II launch scrubbed into march for safety reasons!

Sensationalism: ABC, NBC Spend Over Six Minutes Claiming NASA Has Ditched Safety.

Monologue:

10:05

Segment Topic:

    • How critical is the “SAVE Act” in our effort to secure Americas elections and restore credibility in the system?
    • Should the Senate filibuster end to SAVE the country?
      • If we do not end fraud in our elections, any and all legislation making its way through Congress is worthless.
      • Did the presence of DNI Gabbard in Fulton County during the raid indicate that the “SAVE ACT” is necessary before November?
      • Now we hear that Gabbard is under attack from deep inside our intel agencies (true or false)?
      • Joshua Phillip, when the raid on Fulton County was announced, we wondered if the capture of Maduro and the raid were connected. What’s the truth here?
      • President Donald Trump shared several Truth Social posts at the time of Maduro’s capture that pointed directly to Maduro’s alleged role in 2020 election fraud inside the U.S.
    • If the Maduro connection proves true, where does Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell go to get their lives and reputations restored?
    • John Solomon is reporting that Tulsi Gabbard will brief 47 on significant foreign intrusions in the 2020 Election. Will this spur Congress to act on “SAVE?”  Thune does not seem to see the urgency.
      • Commander Stenstrom, last week, you provided me a summary of where all these legal cases are of which you are involved in – with respect to fraud in PA and other places. Can you provide our audience with a status report?’
      • What about the malicious code in the machines? Is there any doubt that malicious code has been uploaded to electronic voting machines in the past?
      • How far back toes this electronic voting machine fraud go back? What year did it start (that we are aware of)?

10:33

Segment Topic: 

  • The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is not only under tremendous economic strain but may also be having a monumental crisis of leadership. Has the CCP been able to withstand what is being called by some: A Coop’?
    • If China is seriously wounded, is it more dangerous to the world?
    • Our next panelist will tell us if Chinese Communist Party may be entering its most dangerous and unstable phase yet—not because of outside pressure, but because stability of the system at the very top is in question.
  • Another China connected biolab was found in Las Vegas. What does all this mean?
  • We must expect that more of these CCP biolabs exist in other parts of the United States!
  • Yan, as much as the CCP will never admit it, Donald Trump is about to control all of their oil supply, if Iranian Regime falls.
  • Can you explain to our audience what organ harvesting is and why the CCP is involved in such a dastardly thing?
    • Jan, can you connect the dots between the Falun Gong religious movement and organ harvesting in China?
  • Killed to Order: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary!
  • China organ harvesting; is it genocide?
    • If it is indeed genocide, where is the UN, where is the WHO?
    • Need a new heart or liver etc. fast – and got lots of cash? China’s forced organ harvesting industry can get you what you want. Just don’t ask too many questions about where your new heart came from.
    • For as much as $100,000, you can easily procure a healthy heart in China. The catch? It will likely have been forcibly extracted from a healthy live prisoner of conscience, who will slowly be killed as their organs are removed.
    • Jan Jekielek is senior editor of The Epoch Times and host of the TV show, “American Thought Leaders.”. He’s the author of the upcoming book: “Killed to Order: China’s Organ Harvesting Industry and the TrueNature of America’s Biggest Adversary.”
  • There are also concerns that organs are being removed from patients in the U.S. who still show signs of life. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently addressed this disturbing
    • Chris Smith (R-NJ) has introduced a bill to combat forced organ harvesting in China. Smith said the practice was “murder masquerading as medicine.” Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) has introduced a companion bill.
      • The powerless Chinese prisoners are usually Uyghurs, who as practicing Muslims don’t drink, or Falun Gong practitioners, who don’t smoke or drink and who live relatively healthy lives. Both minorities are persecuted and imprisoned in China.

Panelist:

Jan Jekielek, (Yon-Ye-kellick): The Epoch Times Senior Editor, host of “American Thought Leaders” on Epoch TV Yon is the author of the upcoming book: Killed to Order: China’s Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America’s Biggest Adversary Yon, your work during the COVID pandemic was exceptional!

11:06

Segment Topic:

  • Are there connections between members of “The Squad” and foreign enemies of the United States?
  • Watchdog releases scathing report on Tlaib's alleged ties to terrorist groups, warning of 'potential risks'
  • The report calls on Congress and the federal government to investigate Tlaib's ties. (Fox News)
    • "The conduct of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, including her rhetoric, affiliations, campaign infrastructure, and ideological alignment with certain individuals and organizations, raises serious concerns about potential risks to the ethical and institutional integrity of the United States government," the report, released by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy’s advocacy and policy-oriented arm, states.
    • The report details a "recurring pattern" of behavior that it says suggests an ideological affinity for radical movements, ranging from participation in conferences featuring convicted terrorists to significant campaign payments made to activists linked to Hamas and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-aligned networks.
    • Additionally, the briefing asks the Department of Justice's National Security Division to conduct a legal review to determine if Tlaib or her affiliates have violated 18 U.S. Code §2339B, which prohibits providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations.
    • Ilhan Omar and her (so-called husband) are currently under investigation in the House on how did she amass a $30 million dollar fortune so quickly. Perhaps, it was by way of her winery?
    • Omar and Talib also have connections with the Muslim Brotherhood. We do not know to the extent of those connections.
    • What about AOC and her open, public admiration for Communist Mamdani? She is driving around in a Tesla.  Where did she get the money for that?
  • Jon Glasgow, you covered Tom Homan’s presser in Minneapolis last week. Placing Homan in charge in MN appears to be the right move.
  • Last night, President Trump rolled out “Trump RX.”
  • Will this get the attention of the American people (AFFORDIBILITY)?
  • Website rollout went smoothly – unlike the Obamacare website!
  • President Trump has shown kindness and concern to Savannah Guthrie and her family. That is more that she and her mother have shown to President Trump and his family!
  • Dennis Kneale, when you see the photos of NYC buried in snow two weeks after a snowstorm, with garbage piled up on the sidewalks – how do you feel?
  • We talk a lot in this country about accountability – however; when are Americans going to demand accountability for simple, government services that THEY PAY FOR!

Panelist:

11:33

Segment Topic:

  • Are Republicans pushing for a carbon tax in America?
    • 37 organizations, led by the American Energy Alliance and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, sent a letterto Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright, alerting him to language surreptitiously included in a report attached to the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill, which requests that the Department lay the groundwork for a national energy tax. 
    • “Behind closed doors, and without any transparency, a small group of Republican House and Senate members used a legislative sleight of hand to set the wheels in motion for a carbon dioxide tax on American families. Though the language is not enshrined in law, the proponents, including Senators Kevin Cramer and Bill Cassidy, have already indicated that they will use the report language to try to force the Trump administration to build a case for eventually establishing the tax.

      “Today, we joined with 37 like-minded organizations to alert Secretary Wright to this agenda. The Trump administration has been very vocal and consistent in its prioritization of American energy security and affordability; the language that these Senators slipped into the committee report only hinders that agenda. The simple fact is that an energy tax based on carbon dioxide will be regressive and harm American families, businesses, workers, the poor, the elderly, those on fixed incomes, and local institutions such as schools, libraries, hospitals, and first responders.

      • “No logical-thinking person can be in favor of such a thing.  

Panelist:
