Today, Olivia and Paul discuss the aftermath of Qasem Soleimani’s death by an American drone strike earlier this month, particularly in light of President Trump’s January 8th address calling for peace between the two countries. We discuss the events that almost precipitated another full-fledged war in the region and whether taking this action was worth the risk for an administration that promises to put “America First.” More at rightonpointpodcast.com!

The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles joins Paul and Olivia today to talk about his journey from aspiring actor at Yale to conservative political commentator and author. He also gives us his political predictions for 2020 and the decade more broadly. Finally, we end on a discussion of President Trump’s decision to take out Qasem Soleimani on January 3rd, and the likelihood that this will trigger another Middle East war.

Paul and Olivia anticipate some of the most important dates to look forward to heading into the 2020s, including the 250th anniversary of America’s independence. We also talk about two major stories affecting the Washington war lobby. First, we describe reports of President Trump speaking directly to troops over the generals and what that says about America’s strategy in the Middle East over the past 20 years. We also analyze a major story reported by the Washington Post just before the Christmas season about our scandalous, aimless policy in Afghanistan under Bush and Obama.

On this end of the year wrap up, Paul and Olivia discuss some of the biggest stories from 2019 as captured in our interviews with Nigel Farage, Michael Anton, Bart Marcois, Patrick Deneen, Carl Higbie, and Timothy Gordon. We also talk about some of the biggest headlines from this year (and this decade, for that matter) and why there is reason to be optimistic despite the gloom and doom that has come to characterize the mainstream news as we look forward to 2020, and beyond!

Olivia first discusses how the impeachment sham has desecrated the credibility and legitimacy of our institutions, and how this partisan hoax is truly the making of a Deep State coup against the President of the United States. Plus, we look at the gun confiscation laws being imposed in Virginia, illegal immigrants given the green light to drive, and more. Finally, we end with this week’s edition of #TrumpTweetThursday!
