52 min - Have Republicans Learned Anything From the Midterms?
Republicans just got crushed. The base is furious and demanding fighters who will stop the managed decline. Instead, the Senate re-elected John Thune, the guy many see as the poster child for doing nothing. Meanwhile, Trump installed Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff and the House picked Jim Jordan, while some governors and state legislators are already talking about caving to the Democrats. So who within the GOP understands what time it is, and who has learned the wrong lesson from the midterms?

1 hr 17 min - Why America Can’t Agree On Which Constitution It Has
Hillsdale professor Kevin Slack says America was founded by settlers, not immigrants. He and Nick trace how the Progressive Era and the New Deal moved power from Congress and the states to an unelected bureaucracy, why the income tax made it possible, and why he says the founders never saw diversity as a strength. Then Nick asks the question hanging over all of it: can the Constitution, as it stands today, still protect the Republic?

57 min - The Korean Who Says the West Must Defend Itself
British counter-terrorism police detained Ryan Williams at Heathrow. Nick sits down with the Scottish Korean to find out why he chose mockery as his weapon, why a Korean says he’s grateful for the West, and why he thinks every Western country should be more like Poland. Then Nick asks whether woke progressivism is opening the door to Islamic ideology, even in places like South Korea.

1 hr 10 min - Vance Blamed the War. DeSantis Blamed Everything Else. Who Wins 2028?
JD Vance says Republicans lost because of the Iran war, and Trump says he’d do nothing different. Nick and Christian dig into the voter data to see who really flipped, why Ron DeSantis is now surging in the 2028 polls after calling the loss an extinction-level event, and what Florida did that Texas didn’t. Then they break down a viral post about a voter named Bob that Nick says explains why Republicans lost.

23 min - A Libertarian Makes an Argument for Trump
A lot of libertarians are very frustrated with President Trump. They consider the war in Iran, increased government spending and see betrayal. Some have even called for his impeachment…but others have suggested that he is actually making very important progress…perhaps the most important in 100 years. Today we will hear that argument.
