Damage Control

Gen Z social media star Olivia Rondeau joins the show to tell the story of how she grew up in a mixed-race Maryland family, became a star wrestler, found herself in "transphobic" controversy with the woke Left, got kicked out of the Black Student Union, and wound up becoming a pioneer for race-conscious black conservatism. We break down her journey, the nuanced truth of racism in America, and what the GOP must do differently to better appeal to black voters.

Former Maine State Senator and Young Americans for Liberty Senior Spokesperson Eric Brakey joins the show to make his case for "constitutional carry." In his state and dozens of others, Americans can now carry firearms without having to go through a permitting process.  Why is this reform necessary?

In honor of LGBT Pride Month kicking off this June, lesbian YouTuber Arielle Scarcella joins me on the podcast to explain how the movement has changed over the years. Was Pride always so politicized and partisan? Has it become hostile to different perspectives and diversity of thought? Is it anything more than woke corporatism and Democratic propaganda these days?

We break it all down.

Harassment, death threats, national outcry, and financial fallout. Christian baker Jack Phillips faced all this and more after he refused to bake & design a customized wedding cake celebrating a gay wedding—an unexpected battle that ultimately took him all the way to the Supreme Court. He joins the show to discuss his new book, The Cost of My Faith, and his legal journey.

Is Jack really the anti-gay bigot the media made him out to be? Why not just bake the cake? Just how vitriolic and nasty was the targeted backlash Jack and his family faced? And how do we balance freedom of religion and speech with respect for LGBT Americans?

We discuss all this and more.

YouTuber, gamer, and content creator Gothix joins the show to tell us the story of how after growing up "born Democrat" in the black community, she had a political reawakening. We walk through why she changed her worldview—and why she chose to #WalkAway from the Democrats. But what do Republicans get wrong when it comes to making inroads with African Americans? We discuss all this, plus the state of our criminal justice system, why she doesn't support the Black Lives Matter™ movement, and the RIGHT way to eat pizza.
