March 14, 2025 Here comes the Schumer Shutdown
As if the Democrats don't have enough problems in formulating an adequate opposition to the Trump agenda, they seemingly have decided to jump the shark AND walk the plank by shutting down the government if they don't vote on the Republican CR in the Senate. Apparently, there were many glum Democratic Senators emerging from 2 hours of strategy earlier in the week.
And, to be sure, Trump is giving them plenty to oppose. His "Ready Fire Aim" approach to tariff policy is leaving the markets in turmoil. But Democrats would rather make pro-Hamas agitator and terrorist sympathizer, Mahmoud Khalil, their new poster child for anti-Semitism. That doesn't excuse the right with its flirtation with the notorious Tate brothers...
Chris and Sean dive into all this on this windy and rainy odd day in March.

March 10, 2025 American Exceptionalism is BACK
Jeffrey Utsch is a Constitutional Scholar who teaches Situational Leadership to many of the nation’s top CEO’s. For 30 years, he has trained Navy Seals in open water techniques and survival. Also, he was one of Chris and Sean’s first guests on the show almost four years ago. Jeff returns to defend the ideas of American Exceptionalism as enshrined in the Founding Documents of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. He laments that so many Americans know so little of those documents that they’ll buy into whatever misinformation is fed to them - like pursuing Marxist ideology in the guise of DEI. Thankfully, these ideas are waning as Americans look to return to the founding principles of #Faith, #Freedom, and #FreeEnterprise. A #mustlisten for anyone who believes America is an exceptional nation founded on the principle that rights come from God and not from Government.

March 06, 2025 Trump’s Big Speech, Explosive Oval Office Showdown, NATO’s failure
Chris and Sean break down the biggest headlines from the past few days, including the explosive Oval Office showdown, the latest developments with NATO, Trump’s address to Congress, Pam Bondi’s mishandling of the Epstein files, and the highs and lows of the Oscars.
Trump’s speech was a grand slam, while Democrats fumbled their response, alienating everyday Americans with protests and partisan theatrics instead of addressing real issues. Rather than appealing to the moderate voters they need, they played straight to their activist liberal base.
Sean shares his evolving stance on NATO, highlighting how European nations have consistently fallen short of their financial commitments, leaving the U.S. to bear the brunt of the burden for over 70 years.
Finally, Chris and Sean wrap things up with a rapid-fire Oscars recap—great moments followed by a spectacular crash and burn.

February 28, 2025 Trump, Bezos, Elon… a trifecta the Left freaks out about
Jeff Bezos has announced that the Washington Post editorial page will be focused on two pillars: personal liberty and free enterprise. Chris wonders if Bezos has been listening to the podcast (Sean doubts that).
Pam Bondi announces that some of the Epstein flight logs will be released and we discuss JFK files as well.
DOGE continues its rooting out waste fraud and abuse, with Trump’s first Cabinet meeting highlighting Elon’s efforts and all cabinet members being on board with real reforms. Sean points out that Congress can’t be relied upon to truly cut spending, because it is against their very nature – so the executive branch needs to take the lead.
All this, and so much more!

February 27, 2025 Marc Thiessen And AEI Engage Trump
Marc Thiessen is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) where he studies and writes about American presidential leadership and counterterrorism.
Marc joins the show in an exclusive audio only podcast to discuss the work of AEI and its dramatic and crucial engagement with the Trump Administration.
Marc and other AEI scholars are engaged in providing Trump with expansive analysis of everything from the Ukraine Mineral Agreement to the advancement of important Tax and Immigration policy.
But even the best scholars and policy professionals at AEI are amazed at the speed and stamina of the Trump administration in implementing long-standing policy prescriptions...
A #mustlisten for an "Inside Washington" perspective of Trump's first 30 days... And what the next months may hold for a transformational presidency.

February 26, 2025 Elon Musk Exposes Government Waste—And the Left Loses It.
Elon Musk and DOGE continue to find waste, fraud, and abuse. And, Elon sends an email to federal workers asking “what did you do last week?” The Left is acting as if the Constitution itself is under attack – which means Elon must be doing something right.
Chris and Sean discuss DOGE, presidential appointments, and how all this will fundamentally change (for the better!) the federal government.
They also cover Ukraine/Russia – Sean is skeptical and Chris thinks Trump is playing 3D chess – with the ultimate goal of creating a wedge between Russia and China.
Finally, they talk about the Hamas/Israel ceasefire and hostage negotiations – Sean loses his cool a little and Chris gives a firsthand view from his trip to Israel.
All this and more!

February 20, 2025 America is back!
Trump continues to shake things up every day, sending the liberal left into a constant tizzy. Elon and the DOGE effort are finding some of the most outrageous waste, fraud, and abuse that have ever been exposed.
Chris and Sean dive into the machinations of what Trump is doing, and how Elon is fundamentally changing how we view the workings of government. They discuss the barbs being thrown at Elon by none other than Steve Bannon, speculating that it is likely out of jealousy.
They discuss the need to extend and make permanent the Trump Tax Cuts, which is a top priority for one of the show’s sponsors, Americans for Prosperity Arizona.

And, of course because we are in Arizona, they cover baseball and the opening day of spring training!

February 18, 2025 Bud Light Bottoms Out
Anson Frericks, former President for Anheuser-Busch, joins the show to detail how Bud Light - an iconic American brand of a company once commanded almost 50% of the American Beer market - imploded with one WOKE decision
In his new book " Last call for Bud Light" Anson details time after time, opportunity after opportunity, Anheuser-Busch passed upon growth and stability in favor of cost cutting and chaos.
Only now does it seem that the company is regaining his footing. Anson advocates openly that the only way to truly save this once great company is to return it to its American roots with American ownership.
