Can conservative fight and win a culture war against the extremist Left? Peachy Keenan discusses her new book, Domestic Extremist: A Practical Guide to Winning the Culture War, which Regnery will launch on June 6. Peachy -- her pseudonym -- was raised by secular atheists and was a liberal feminist, but changed her views after meeting her husband and having children. She talks about her journey from being a secular pro-choice feminist to a devoted Catholic mom of five and how she was treated by society for making her own choices. We also discuss all the front lines of the culture wars -- Target, Disneyland, and Dodger Stadium among them.

The entry of Ron DeSantis has kick-started the real primary fight. Is Donald Trump prepared to deal with an opponent that will hit him punch for punch? DeSantis' Never Back Down warroom is not the only new factor for Trump -- facing off against a real and well-funded ground organization will be a new experience as well. It may take weeks or months for that dynamic to play out, but it could be a game-changer for the GOP. Plus, we discuss The Deal and why it's less than both its supporters and opponents claim, and a few Jokes of the Day to boot!

Juan Pablo Segura is running for the Virginia State Senate and is discussing the Loudon County parental rights movement which was sparked by a rape scandal two years ago. The Loudon Love Warriors, a Facebook group of radical activists and ideologues, were targeting parents who were speaking out for more safety in schools. Pablo discusses their connections to government officials and power brokers, and talks more about the issues that will drive the November 2023 election.

Have we ever seen a week with so many demonstrations of media double standards? From Politico's hit piece on Casey DeSantis, their aggressive reporting on Dianne Feinstein, and their regurgitation of PR lines on Jill Biden and John Fetterman, Andrew Malcolm and I are impressed with media, um ... flexibility. Plus we talk about the Tim Scott entry into the race, Andrew's latest column at RedState, and much more!

Michele Tafoya has spent her career in sports media, but has recently decided to speak out on a range of cultural and political topics. Michele tells me how 9/11 changed her perspective on what it means to be American and be engaged, especially now when our culture is in a battle over objective reality. We discuss education, sports, her move to the Salem Podcast Network, and much more!

Has an "army of mediocrity" taken over higher education in America? Dr. Stanley Ridgely argues that's the least of the problems. His new book, "Brutal Minds: The Dark World of Left-Wing Brainwashing in Our Universities," Ridgely and I discuss the conversion of education into indoctrination, and how the Left has applied tactics of cults to succeed at it. It's a Cultural Revolution fitting of Mao himself, whom many of its activists idolize and model.

What did the Prince of Twitter think of the coronation? Depends on which one you're talking about. The MSNBC interview of Joe Biden certainly reminds us that the media will fight to keep Biden on the throne here. We also talk about Biden's comments on the open investigation into Hunter Biden's alleged crimes, Biden's biggest screw-up since Afghanistan, and more!

Description: While Americans battle the government-media censorship complex at home, the news for liberty is worse in Ireland, Gript.ie reporter Ben Scallan brings us up to speed on an effort to pass a broad hate-speech suppression bill, one that essentially allows any kind of dissent on hot-button issues to be criminalized. Despite the clear public backlash to this proposal, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar intends to press forward -- and if he does, the situation in Éirinn looks bleak indeed.

Should a Catholic hospital stop seeing Medicare and Medicaid patients because it has a lit candle in its Catholic chapel? Lori Windham, vice president and senior counsel at Becket Law, discusses their latest case involving HHS and religious liberty. The Biden administration has ordered St. Francis Catholic Hospital to extinguish the sanctuary candle required by Catholic doctrine while the transubstantiated Eucharist is in the tabernacle or get disqualified for any reimbursements for care. Lori talks about the absurd and capricious nature of this demand, while I argue that this shouldn't even be a matter for the federal government but rather the local fire marshal. What are the next steps -- and does Xavier Becerra really want to take another beating in the 10th Circuit and Supreme Court?

Was AFT president Randi Weingarten really trying to reopen schools? American Commitment president Phil Kerpen scoffs at the claim, pointing out that Weingarten fought for over two years to stop schools from opening. He discusses the economic and social consequences of school closures due to the pandemic, including a loss of educational attainment, lower lifetime income, lower life expectancy, mental health issues, and physical health issues. Plus, the quarter of a million kids have dropped off the radar, and the cost of that may be incalculable.
