What is the most important thing for women entering perimenopause and menopause? Agency, says Amy Alkon, the author of "Going Menopostal: What you (and your doctor) need to know about the real science of menopause and perimenopause." Amy shares the lessons from her own journey, exposes how so much of what doctors do is not based on science, and offers concrete advice in her own brash and inimitable style to women about the importance of managing their own journeys.

Phelim McAleer and Ann McIlhenny have carved out a cultural platform with verbatim theater -- and it hits the Left where it lives. Their latest production, Trans On Trial, brings the courtroom drama of a British fight over free speech, dissent, and the losing ground of progressive unreality. Phelim joins me to discuss his latest play and its reception in the UK, what it means for the trans debate in America, and much much more!

Comedian and podcaster Chrissie Mayr made headlines two years ago by taking on Dylan Mulvaney and the hecklers who tried to shut her down. Mayr remains as defiant as ever, and talks about the importance of fearlessness in comedy and speech.

Democrats keep using Hitler as an analogy for anything in American politics they don't like, and Jeff Dunetz has had enough. He argues that the comparisons between Hitler and Donald Trump are not just ludicrous on their face, but also a form of Holocaust denial. Jeff also talks about his efforts to win a set at the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem this October.

What's worse -- hiding the truth of Joe Biden's incompetence or claiming virtue in revealing it now? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the latest literary genre in politics and the continuing collapse in media credibility. Speaking of which, we both discuss the terrorist fangirling of Taylor Lorenz and the Left more generally. We also talk about the tariff debate and China's recent zone-flooding on the global markets.

What did I miss on my vacation? Not much, Andrew Malcolm informs me, except more of the same outrage as before! Andrew takes a critical look at the media industry and its credibility collapse. We discuss how their cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline accelerated public distrust in their product, as well as the new literary genre known as Now It Can Be Told.

So writes John Kass, in an essay that Andrew Malcolm flagged for our latest episode. The mainstream media certainly seems on board with the effort to kill Tesla; Andrew and I compare their coverage of an extended domestic-terror campaign against Elon Musk's business interests and their obsession with January 6. The potential return of Rahm Emanuel gives Andrew a chance to recall his earlier connection to the former mayor of Chicago at the beginning of Emanuel's career. And can we really keep up with China's naval expansion?

What are the "woke mind viruses," and how do we cure the body politic of them? Author T.S. Dixon joins me to discuss his new book The Woke Mind Viruses, and what he sees as the origins and aims of the woke movement. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are on the right path, T.S. warns, but it will take a much larger effort to eradicate these viral plagues once and for all.

Chuck Schumer has led his party into a box canyon. Now he wants them to leap off the nearest ledge. Daily Caller columnist Mary Rooke discusses the bizarre refusal of Democrats to listen to voters, offer any sort of policies that address their concerns, and choice to align themselves with the fringe of the electorate on almost every issue. Plus: What is "the good life"?

From autopens to CRs, Democrats appear to have forgotten everything they ever knew about politics. Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the basics that have been forgotten and why Donald Trump needs to learn a lesson from it. Chuck Schumer's humiliation won't be the last for Democrats.
