Your radio buddy Jimmy Failla is wrapping up his Christmas break, so Texas Radio Hall of Famer Paul Gleiser stepped up one last time this year and agreed to guest host the final live episode of Fox Across America in 2024. Paul reflects on the life of legacy of former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away in Georgia at the age of 100 over the weekend. He also explains how, unlike the outgoing President Joe Biden, Carter never used the power of the office to capitalize financially. Professor of Political Science at Southern Methodist University Cal Jillson gives us a history lesson on how the 39th president ascended to the highest office in the land. Campus Reform Correspondent Emily Sturge offers up some optimism heading into 2025 about the rapid decline of DEI initiatives Trump 2024 Campaign Deputy Communications Director Caroline Sunshine sheds light on the major changes Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy can bring to the country as they co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency. PLUS, RNC National Spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko shares her thoughts on how President-elect Trump’s second term in the White House will be different than his first one.
