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?

- The Dem-Coms nationally and in Pennsylvania are already planning his removal in 2028.

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)?
Panelist:
Ken Cuccinelli, National Chairman: The Election Transparency Initiative former VA AG. Ken Cuccinelli is a Senior Fellow for Homeland Security and Immigration for the Center for Renewing America. Ken served during the first Trump Administration as Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security.
Joshua Philipp, Senior Investigative Reporter with The Epoch Times and host of Crossroads. Josh’s latest project: “The Silent Land Grab: Why China is Buying US Farmland.”

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.
- 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.
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:
Jon Glasgow, Host: Sunday Report on Newsmax
Dennis Kneale, author of The Leadership Genius of Elon Musk. Veteran business journalist and proud Florida resident!
Mykel (mi-KEEL) Barthelemy, author: Trump is not a Racist! Here’s Why and a former GA Candidate US Congress (R)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————
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:
Kenny Stein, VP Policy: American Energy Alliance https://www.americanenergyalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PROVE-IT-Letter-to-Secretary-Wright-from-AEA.pdf
