We have a very soft movement that is not willing to power through disruptions in order to pursue good policy. This is true across the board, but particularly on the issue of illegal immigration. I explain how illegal immigration would end overnight if Republicans were willing to go after labor brokers and actually enforce employment laws. The problem is that the Left, through an amalgamation of fiscal, cultural, and immigration policies, has created a self-fulfilling prophecy of Americans not wanting to do construction jobs. Republicans must be willing to power through a temporary disruption by removing illegal aliens, raising wages, and fixing our broken education and welfare incentives. Conservatives need to lead by example. No policy change will happen on its own, and the election will be moot if we don’t build a movement willing to message and implement through adversity.

Most people are not insane enough to refer to themselves as the opposite gender, but so many of us still act transgender. On today’s special evergreen episode, I share and expound upon Joy Pullmann’s excellent essay “How Feminism Makes Everyone Transgender.” She argues that conservatives have misdiagnosed our societal ills as stemming from too much femininity injected into government by liberal females. But, in fact, those women are extremely masculine and dysregulated. It’s a lack of femininity among a generation of women that is driving them to project their insecurities on society. I make the case that the lack of femininity among women is an even bigger problem than a lack of masculinity among men, and it’s a problem even on the Right. Too many on the Right are harnessing feminism to supposedly fight transgenderism, when feminism is what caused transgenderism and is even more destructive to society.

The FBI has now revised the crime statistics to reflect reality. I explain how Republicans have missed an entire decade of messaging and policy opportunities to win back suburban voters on the crime issue. Instead, they pushed jailbreak and bailed out Democrats from their own radical policies foisted upon them by their quixotically unreasonable base. Next, we’re joined by Seth Dillon, CEO of the Babylon Bee. He explains how the Bee is aiming not only to evoke laughter but also to powerfully use the weapon of satire to deconstruct the absurd prevailing narratives in politics and culture. We also discuss the concerns about the growing “woke Right,” which is becoming as mindless as the woke Left. He promises to continue illustrating that absurdity as well with some satirical pieces. Finally, we discuss his activism as a Floridian in fighting Amendment 4, which will kill thousands of babies. He might run a satire company, but he is actually being more effective than most conservatives who claim to be serious thought leaders.

We begin today’s discussion by observing the budding of a national divorce in Western North Carolina. It’s become abundantly clear that the feds are not really interested in helping, nor are the people interested in accepting the help. We are headed toward red state self-sufficiency, and this effort will be led by veterans. To that end, we’re joined by retired Marine Colonel Mark Thieme, who is now executive director of the new Florida State Guard. He explains the need for the Guard and all of the lifesaving work they have done during natural disasters, as well as missions in North Carolina and at the Texas border. Unmoored from bureaucracy and from any federal control, Thieme is able to recruit talented people with the desire to serve and efficiently utilize their skills for maritime and aviation operations, reconnaissance, and search and rescue to augment the other state agencies. They are light and nimble to focus on the need of the hour. They have gotten so many recruits that they already had to turn away people. The Florida Guard has also been a landing place for veterans who left the service but still want to protect Americans without dealing with woke politics. Are state guards the wave of the future and also the ultimate fulfillment of our Founders’ vision of state-based militias?

The election is almost over. Now is the time to prepare a plan to deal with the two most pressing issues, both federally and in the states – inflation and invasion. Unfortunately, everything Trump is promising on the campaign trail will only increase the deficit and inflation. What is the plan to curb inflation? I explain why it will only get worse, Trump will own the problem, and we will all get blamed for it. As for immigration, Trump has a plan, but I explain what he needs to do immediately. We continue to see more stories of small towns in conservative areas being transformed by invaders. If this is not shut down soon, red America will look like blue America.

There is simply no reason to suddenly believe the recent weather disasters are anything but natural. I discuss the problems with the woke, reactionary right constantly mimicking the left and the need to be more disciplined and effective in pursuit of the truth. We’re joined by veteran meteorologist and long-term forecaster Joe Bastardi of Weatherbell.com to explain the natural phenomenon behind this active hurricane season. He notes that while there might be cloud seeding technology that could potentially induce a snapshot, localized effect on one storm, it is absurd to believe that humans can control the entire atmospheric system that induced this weather pattern. He predicted last year, based on weather patterns across the world, that this would be an impactful hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico. He also believes we can do a better job forecasting and communicating risk assessment of hurricanes. But ultimately there needs to be humility when dealing with this issue and a recognition that only human problems can be controlled by humans. Let’s leave the atmospheric problems to God.

It’s deja vu. Remember how Republicans promised to repeal Obamacare and then actually preserved it? Well, unless we mobilize against the Green New Deal now, Republicans will not repeal the heart of the green energy subsidies. I warn that the oil and gas industry is already lobbying to preserve the grift and only repeal the tax increases and some regulations. We go through the irrevocable harm that will flow from such a move, the proper strategy and messaging behind full repeal, and the need to pass a repeal bill through budget reconciliation as the first major agenda item. I also explain how we are suffering a stagflation and personal debt crisis, and nobody in the GOP seems to have a forward-looking plan on how to deal with it.

There is little left that we can do to influence the outcome of the election, so we need to prepare to maximize the power we do have under either outcome. I game out the challenges and opportunities for each outcome and what needs to be done. If Trump does win, he must act on deportations and an immigration moratorium immediately. I go through numerous stories of the Biden administration releasing criminals and terrorists into the country, including the latest suspected ISIS member from Afghanistan who was allegedly plotting an Election Day terror attack in Oklahoma City. They are transforming red-state cities at breakneck speed, and we cannot waste any time before addressing this issue.

First, we begin with the negative aspects of our government and the elements of the culture that they represent. I explain how the worship of virtue-signaling has acculturated too many people to narcissism rather than a true quest to help other people. On the other hand, what we are seeing in red America, led by military veterans, is truly the best of our people. We’re joined today for an on-the-ground status report by Dr. Mollie James, a critical care physician who is working on medical triage in the mountains. With her is Dan Nunez, a military veteran and local resident who is coordinating the search and rescue efforts from the Avery County airport. He paints a vivid picture of the dire human needs in the remote mountains but also the superb unity among the veteran organizations that are pooling together their talents to navigate this living hell. They make it clear that they have barely seen a federal presence in the remote areas and that frankly, they feel the private organizations will do a better job. You can donate to the cause at HopeMill.org or join Mollie’s medical team by emailing [email protected].

DeSantis has been confronted with so many crises, yet he is tackling each one plus helping other states. Today, I explain how DeSantis is like the "Chuck Norris of governors" and what we can learn from his style of leadership. I also juxtapose what he has done in Florida with what the feds have done in Western North Carolina and build the case for us to create our own civilian civil defense organizations through the sheriff’s departments of each conservative county. We are living under a broken social compact, but the aftermath of this crisis has shown us a path forward to rebuilding our own compact. Finally, I commemorate October 7 and derive three critical lessons for America based on Israel’s experience with Islamic barbarism.
