Steve is joined by Janice Trey, Board Chair of The Epoch Times and NTD TV, a survivor of a Chinese labor camp during Mao’s Cultural Revolution, and a fearless advocate for free speech. She exposes Big Tech censorship, explains why secure platforms like SafeMeet matter, and issues a powerful call for President Trump to tell Xi Jinping to tear down China’s digital firewall. From America’s First Amendment to religious persecution under communism, this is a firsthand warning about how censorship spreads, and why it must be stopped.

Steve is joined by Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, for a wide-ranging, common-sense conversation. They start with the everyday headaches of home disasters, and why having a reliable team of tradesmen matters. Then, they turn to Washington excess, including Joe Biden’s massive pension and perks. Would the Founding Fathers approve of politicians getting rich in office? They also tackle insider trading by elected officials and wrap up with a jaw-dropping story of a bluefin tuna selling for more than $3 million.

Lots of work to do—let’s get to it—Here are 3 big things for this hour—

Number One— The CDC has chopped the required childhood vaccine schedule in an unprecedented overhaul following the trust issues post Covid—what do you think about that?

Number Two— The Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz after proclaiming his innocence on the massive fraud among the Somalis in his state—Dropped out of the race for Governor—not what an innocent guy would do—

Number Three— It’s been a rough couple days for socialists – first, Venezuela’s narco-terrorist leader Nicolas Maduro was removed from power – and now, Minnesota’s scandal-ridden governor Tim Walz has announced he’s not seeking reelection. The socialists are losing ground.
