Send us a text

The podcast covers a range of current events, with significant focus on political and educational debates. A central segment involves a critical examination of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. Republicans, led by Jim Jordan, accused Smith of politically motivated actions against Donald Trump, highlighting controversial aspects like a payment to an FBI informant, alleged overreach in obtaining congressional phone records, and a “gag order” on Trump that was later challenged in court. While Democratic Ranking Member Jamie Raskin defended Smith’s prosecutorial career, the hosts and Republican questioners largely dismissed his defense, asserting Smith’s actions were legally questionable and politically driven.

The episode also celebrates former President Trump’s diplomatic endeavors at Davos, praising his negotiation of a framework deal for Greenland and the Arctic region with NATO, and his initiative to form a “Board of Peace” to potentially counter the United Nations’ perceived overreach. The hosts commend Trump’s direct, America-first approach in international relations. Domestically, the program delves into Idaho’s House Bill 93, a parental choice tax credit program. Amidst a lawsuit challenging its constitutionality, the hosts strongly advocate for the bill, emphasizing parental choice, the need for competition in education, and addressing concerns over “woke” ideologies in public schools. They argue that prior programs have already set a precedent for public funds supporting private education and suggest solutions for potential issues like tuition inflation.
