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.

Could Joe Biden have delivered a worse campaign launch? AJ Kaufman joins me to discuss Biden's demagoguery and hs decision to get in this early. Was he afraid of a challenge? Randi Weingarten's back and on the attack, AJ tells us, which is just a defense mechanism to deflect all of her toxic leadership during the pandemic and the damage it did to millions of children. AJ and I debate Fox's firing of Tucker Carlson and especially whether his content was inappropriate for national discussion.

The pandemic shutdowns opened up the classroom for parents to see what was going on inside and how the left has abandoned education for indoctrination. Bethany Mandel joins me to discuss the book she co-authored with Karol Markowicz, “Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation,” and why parents must prepare themselves for a battle for the souls of their children. Bethany stresses the need for active parenting, the struggle for parents to assert themselves, and why it takes both flexibility and courage to win.

It's almost all over but the shouting. Andrew Malcolm look at the most recent additions and subtractions to the GOP presidential roster. We also discuss Ron DeSantis' press conference yesterday and what that means for Disney and the 2024 race. We also discuss Budweiser's dilemma and why corporations may pay a price for all of their woke posturing.

"I told my peers men cannot have babies," Skylar Culbertson wrote at The College Fix. "They’ve threatened to kill me because of it." I speak with Skylar about the attempts to silence and intimidate people of faith at William and Mary College, the doxxing and the vitriol aimed at them for their viewpoints, and the lack of response from university administrators. Skylar talks about her experiences on campus, how the indoctrination backfired in her case, and how Academia may be lost in general as an educational force.

It doesn't take long for Andrew Malcolm and I to go off the rails a bit. Somehow in a discussion about media propagandizing, we start discussing brothels in Nevada. We also get to Biden's serial lies, the death of accountability, Elon Musk's latest trolling, and much much more.

For 50 years, the accepted narrative of the Vietnam War is one of futility, failure, and the limits of imperialism. Mark Moyar argues in his new book Triumph Regained: The Vietnam War, 1965-1968 that we have it all wrong. Using recently released evidence from Vietnam and digging deep into American archives as well, Moyar argues that the US pursued key national interests in defending South Vietnam -- and that we had all but won the war by the time Richard Nixon took office. I talk with Mark about his new perspective and what follows from it about history, the present, and the media.

Earlier this month, the Federal Trade Commission demanded that Elon Musk "identify all journalists" who had been granted access to Twitter's internal communications. The timing on this demand hardly seemed coincidental, as Musk was exposing the government's censorship efforts on social media. Ashley Baker joins us to discuss this apparent intimidation attempt, and the surprising lack of response from journalists when it happened. We also talk about anti-trust, the FTC's resistance to congressional oversight, and our wish list of Supreme Court precedents for overturning.
