Week of 1-10-26

• Maduro is in a New York jail. The 2026 "Midnight Raid" was a flawless execution that removed a narco-terrorist and opened the door for a free Venezuela. 80 defenders down, including 32 Cuban officers. A massive win for the region. Is this the rebirth of Venezuela? 
• 2025 was a year of extreme violence that the world cannot ignore. From the tragic Hanukkah shooting at Bondi Beach to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, the pattern is clear. We must confront the truth about these attacks. 
• Trump’s first year back is a mixed bag: the border is closed and GNP is up, but shaky jobs and poor election results in NY and the GOP show the public isn't sold. Is his "under promise, over deliver" failure hurting his ratings? 
• Inflation is sticky, housing is unaffordable, and the "midterm curse" is looming—but I’m predicting a major GOP win this year. Between failed candidates and a "Christian bounce" following the Charlie Kirk tragedy, the tide is turning. 
• Dr. Katharine Neill Harris is an expert in drug policy and treatment. She dropped by the Saving America studio to chat about the addiction crisis in America, how we can do better dealing with substance abuse issues, and the drug policy bills being discussed in Texas’ legislature. 
• Tragic news from Colombia: a drone attack by ELN guerrillas, tied to Cuba, has killed 7 soldiers and injured 30 near the Venezuelan border. This act of terror threatens Colombia's hard-won recovery and highlights the urgent need to end drug trafficking. 
• The nuclear arms race is back! Russia's walking away from treaties, and China's deploying 100 new ICBMs capable of striking Taiwan or the USA. It's Cold War II, and the USA & allies MUST win. Time to unite and strategize! arly ballots were improperly certified in 2020—a margin far wider than the 11,779 votes that decided the state. Is this total vindication for Trump? 
• Heartbreaking news: A New Year's Eve fire at a crowded Swiss ski resort club, caused by sparklers, has killed 40 and injured over 100. Our deepest condolences to the victims and survivors of this terrible tragedy. 
• Think your energy drink habit is harmless? A healthy man in his 50s just suffered a stroke with a BP of 254/150 after drinking 8 cans a day. It’s not just the caffeine—it’s the toxic mix of ingredients. Let’s make 2026 the year we prioritize heart health!
• Dr. Mark Clifford helped run a major pro-democracy daily newspaper in Hong Kong but was forced to flee the city’s takeover by the CCP. He dropped by the studio to share the story of the city he loves, the friends he left behind, and their collective fight for freedom with Saving America. 
• In my lifetime I have never seen anything like the wave of Democrats who are choosing to support a gang member who entered our country illegally over their own constituents. It seems to me like time for a wave of recall elections.
• Oregon’s education bureaucracy has made their position clear: Girls sports are no longer for girls. The AFPI is demanding a formal federal investigation into their egregious violations of Title IX.
