January 16, 2026 What Zoomer Conservatives Really Think
Who are Gen Z Republicans — really? That’s what Jerry and Rose asked Jesse Arm, VP External Affairs at ManhattanInstitute.
We unpack the results of a Manhattan Institute focus group conducted with 20 Gen Z conservatives inNashville, revealing how America’s youngest Republican voters consume news, think about economics and immigration, wrestle with faith and family formation,and envision the country’s future.
From TikTok and podcasts replacing traditional media, to complicated views on foreign policy, nationalism, andcultural decline, these findings challenge conventional wisdom about young conservatives.
This conversation offers a rare, nuanced portrait of a generation often talked about — but rarely listened to.
For a more detailed breakdown, check out Jesse Arm's X thread and his write-up in City Journal.

January 08, 2026 Transition, Order & Justice: Trump’s Doctrine for Venezuela
Venezuela did not simply fail — it was repurposed.
In this episode, political commentator and author Judd Dunning breaks down how Venezuela evolved from authoritarian governance into a fully integrated narco-state,where political power, criminal finance, and coercive force merged to preserve regime survival.
We examine the deliberate dismantling of institutions under Hugo Chávez, the criminal consolidation under Nicolás Maduro, and why the United States formally charged Venezuela’s leadership with narco-terrorism — a move rarely taken against a sitting head of state.
The conversation also explores Trump’s Venezuela doctrine: sanctions, asset freezes, institutional continuity, and transitional stability — not invasion — and why criminalized states export instability, migration pressure, and drug corridors across the hemisphere.
This episode challenges the narratives, clarifies the law, and asks a critical question: What does accountability look like in a world where regimes operate like criminal networks?

December 17, 2025 Bridging the Divide:Manchin on Politics, Principles, & People First
In today’s episode, goes solo with former U.S. Senator Joe Manchin for a powerful conversation about his book Dead Center — a book he describes as both a memoir and a manifesto for bringing common sense back to American politics. Manchin shares his concerns about where the Democratic Party is headed. We also talk about why he believes the “center” is where solutions are born, what it means to put people before party, and how respect, responsibility, and compassion can break through the bitterness and tribalism dividing our nation. This episode suggests that there is hope that still exists for a healthier, more unified political future. You may not agree with all of his politics – but there is much to be said about putting aside “sound bites” and having real conversations.

December 11, 2025 The DEI Rebrand: What’s Really Happening in Higher Ed
Free speech on America’s campuses is under its fiercestpressure in decades — and Tim Minella is on the front lines. A Senior Constitutionalism Fellow at the Goldwater Institute and a key voice behind the Goldwater’s Dismantling DEI podcast, Minella joins the show to expose how DEI bureaucracy is mutating, rebranding, and quietly tightening its grip on higher education.
We dig into why conservative students still feel unsafespeaking openly, how campus administrators reward ideological conformity, and why many DEI advocates are working overtime to hide the true reach of their programs. Minella also shares how Goldwater is fighting back to restore genuine free expression, intellectual diversity, and equal treatment under the law.
If you want an unflinching look at what’s really happening on campus — and what it will take to turn the tide — this conversation is essential.

In this powerful episode, conservative firebrand Judd Dunning joins us to unpack his Newsmax column “The American Warrior Reborn.” Judd shares why PeteHegseth’s bold transformation of the Department of Defense into the “War Department” is more than just a rebranding — it's a battle plan to reclaim America’s militarystrength, purpose, and warrior spirit.

In this episode, Jerry and Rose sit down with political commentator and author Greg Rabidoux, who deliversa stark warning in his latest piece: “What You Don’t Condemn You Tolerate.” He argues that the modern Democratic Party — once the champion of peace and compassion — has morphed into a party that enables, excuses, and even emboldens political hatred and violence. From disturbing textmessages by Virginia’s AG candidate Jay Jones to a pattern of silence from Democratic leadership, Rabidoux challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths.This isn’t just political commentary — it’s a call for accountability.

October 23, 2025 Gone is the Golden Age of Housing: What went wrong?
Todd Sheets, Author of "2008: What Really Happened" joins Jerry and Rose. In this episode, we take a walk back through America’s Long Golden Age of housing — a century of stability that spanned from 1897 to 1997. Before the housing bubble and financial crisis, the U.S. housing market worked remarkably well. Why? Join me as I reflect on how my lower-middle-class parents could buy homes in great neighborhoods and what fundamental forces kept housing affordable for generations.
Along the way, we explore lessons from regional markets, long-term mortgages, and inflation-aligned homeprices — and pose tough questions for those who claim capitalism is to blame for today’s housing crisis. Before we dig into what broke the system in our next episode, we need to understand what once made it work.
