Tom Cotton, U.S. Senator from Arkansas, on President Biden’s comments in last night’s townhall, and what the power outage crisis in Texas and surrounding states means for energy policy going forward.

As we approach the one year mark of the COVID crisis, there are a number of lessons to be gleaned from how most authorities have responded. As Robert E. Wright explains, it's also becoming clear that the most lasting damage we've seen is the result of a pandemic of ignorance.

Be honest with yourself, how often do partisan reasons guide your decisions in how you choose your job, your brands and your friends? J.D. Tuccille says politics is seeping into our daily life and ruining everything. Fortunately, that's something each of us can solve for ourselves.

The practice of civil asset forfeiture is functionally no different than armed robbery. As Jacob Sullum points out, it doesn't reduce crime or drug use. It just allows the state's agents to steal money or property--without due process--from people who have not been convicted of any crime whatsoever. It doesn't exactly make it easy to trust the state either.

One of the toughest aspects of being a wrongthinker is coming to grips with being perceived as a radical by the people around you. Isaac Morehouse has a powerful and liberating take on being radical. This is really solid advice.

The biggest downside of having awakened to the gravity of our situation (as opposed to being "woke") is that it's almost impossible to close your eyes and go back to being ignorant. Jeff Minnick describes the dimming of the IQ of America and why it's happening.

A good example of the kind of deliberate dumbing down of the populace can be seen in efforts to erase the past and to rewrite history as viewed through a culturally Marxist filter. Lee Brown has an article about how "woke" English teachers across the country are beginning to call for purging Shakespeare from their curriculum in the name of being inclusive.

My days of yelling at the TV during the evening news are long over. But the frustration with the spin, agitprop and disinformation remains. This is particularly true with the false and exaggerated claims still being spread by our corporate media regarding the January 6 clash at the Capitol. Glenn Greenwald explains how insisting on factual accuracy doesn't make you an apologist for the protestors.

As we approach the one year mark of the COVID crisis, there are a number of lessons to be gleaned from how most authorities have responded. As Robert E. Wright explains, it's also becoming clear that the most lasting damage we've seen is the result of a pandemic of ignorance.

John Fund, Columnist for National Review and Newsletter Editor at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, on the unfolding energy crisis in the Midwest and South – and the role of green energy in creating the disaster.

Political consultant Gary Welch joins me to discuss:

Governor Cox and his removal for needing permits for concealed carry. This is just another example of "look at the shiny object" type of legislation. This is not some radical new agenda for Utahans nor is it something bold and daring. They are making a big deal out of it, however, to make you to forget all the trash that he did as Lt Gov with COVID.

Mitch McConnell's condemnation of Donald Trump is much bigger than people think. In politics, nobody is on their own. Before they make comments like that, they consult with party leadership, advisors, and other Senators. Therefore, McConnell must have backing from party operatives. Does this mean that the rumors of the GOP splitting up are real?

Cuomo is getting more and more heat for his stance on murdering the senior citizens that were killed because he forced senior centers to take on COVID patients. Even if Cuomo was truly doing what he felt was the right thing, it still turned out to be worst thing. Additionally, his response was not to try to make it right but to cover it up. It speaks to the mindset of politicians - it is all about them, not us. They don't care and they don't represent us. We need to demand that our politicians be Servant Leaders.

Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos stops by to visit about what's going on. We'll discuss how to find freedom in a world that seems determined to stamp it out. We also discuss the ongoing efforts to kill the oil and gas industry and what that could mean for our way of life.

One of the surest indicators that the new administration is racing to consolidate power can be seen in their push for stricter gun control. Thomas L. Knapp says he's not worried about Biden's gun control proposals. His reasons why are worth considering.

The establishment lust for consolidating power is being felt across the world as well as at home. Fiona Harrigan has a marvelous essay on what Joe Biden can learn from John Quincy Adams regarding America's true strength.

Mitt Romney has been promoting what he calls a "family security act" that would create a universal basic income based on how many kids you have. Veronique de Rugy explains why this is a bad idea cloaked in what most will see as good intentions.
