Donald Trump proved that there was an untapped market within the GOP that a persona like he could take advantage of - populism. Now, this isn't a new discovery, but rather something that hasn't been effectively utilized by GOP politicians in decades.

Instead of learning from what Trump was able to do successfully in his use of Republican populism, many GOP leaders have rejected that approach, leaving many of those voters looking for a path forward.

Jack Hunter joins the program to dig into this Republican populism, and with that, how advocates in the liberty movement can utilize that populist sentiments in the GOP to help promote pro-liberty policy.

Finding common ground is one of the most challenging aspects of political discourse in 2021. In a world where "the others" are looked at with skeptical eyes, it's more important for us to enter into good-faith dialogue whenever and wherever we can on issues of agreement.

One such area the left and right (should) be finding common ground is that of the death penalty. Today we are joined by Professor David Dozier, professor emeritus in the School of Journalism & Media Studies at San Diego State University and author of "The California Killing Field". David joins the program to make the case as to why the death penalty is as anti-liberty as they come, how to have good-faith conversations with those we disagree with, and how to enact common policy goals into action.

Where is America headed? Pay attention to the news for more than 10 seconds, and you'd believer we're one step closer to Hell in a handbasket than ever anticipated.

And who to blame? Well, the corporate media is sure to make sure the proverbial finger is pointed at the "young folks" - namely - the Millennials and Generation Z. As a Millennial, I've got a better reading as to where we're at, but what about Gen Z? Where are they at? And are they actually the generation deserving off all the blame?

Mahgdalen Rose joins the program as a prominent voice in Generation Z, and joins the program to help outline where Generation Z is at in terms of politics, economics, culture, and more.

Jack Kerfoot is a scientist, energy executive and author of FUELING AMERICA: An Insider’s Journey, and joins the show to make his case that climate change and energy independence requires us removing government roadblocks to the development of new renewable energy projects, and providing incentives to attract the people and resources necessary.
