The episode uncovers the struggle for control over intelligence, blocked access to encrypted overseas accounts, and challenges faced by Congress in obtaining key evidence. Tara contextualizes this feud within broader issues of intelligence transparency, whistleblower reliance, and bureaucratic obstacles in national security investigations.

Tara dives into the latest climate hysteria targeting your furry friends, from the Associated Press urging dogs to go vegan to the push for insect protein as the “food of the future.” She breaks down the absurdity of regulating happiness through pets, parallels historical examples from communist regimes, and exposes how these agendas normalize control over what we eat — and soon, what we love. Beyond pets, Tara touches on government shutdowns, flight cancellations, and the Supreme Court’s potential limits on Trump’s tariff authority, highlighting how politics and policy intersect with everyday life in unexpected ways.

Tara examines the latest extremes in climate activism, highlighting the Associated Press’s push for vegan diets for dogs as part of a broader effort to normalize radical environmental policies. She traces these efforts back to historical examples of communist control over pets and property, showing how regulating what people love is a step toward controlling them. Tara also discusses the ripple effects of political dysfunction, including shutdowns affecting flights and the economy, and potential Supreme Court decisions limiting Trump’s tariff authority. Through humor and sharp insight, she exposes the growing intrusion of political agendas into everyday life and the creeping normalization of control over personal choices.

Tara exposes the dark side of political power in Washington — the threats, the intimidation, and the near-collapse of America’s constitutional balance. In this gripping episode, she revisits how two Democrats, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, stood between the nation and permanent one-party rule by refusing to end the Senate filibuster. Tara plays shocking excerpts from Manchin’s own interview, where he describes death threats, stalking, and organized activist campaigns funded by his own party to force him into submission. From the push for amnesty to the trillion-dollar “Build Back Better” plan, Tara reveals how close America came to losing its last safeguard — and why keeping the filibuster may have saved the republic.

*They couldn’t buy his vote — so they tried to break him.*

Tara unpacks Senator Joe Manchin’s shocking revelations about the Democrat-led campaign to eliminate the Senate filibuster — and how his refusal may have saved America from permanent one-party control. She highlights the organized intimidation campaign Manchin faced, including paid protesters, kayakers surrounding his boat, and threats against his family. The goal: to pressure him into supporting the “Build Back Better” bill and amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. Tara draws parallels between these events and the Democrats’ larger agenda — to consolidate power by reshaping voter demographics and silencing dissent. Joined by listener commentary, she also contrasts today’s political and economic climate with earlier generations, warning that Americans must not make it easier for authoritarianism to take root.

Tara takes a hard look at the collapse of the American Dream — and how decades of reckless spending, congressional dysfunction, and Biden-era inflation have priced an entire generation out of homeownership. From her own story of buying a house at 23 on a journalist’s salary to today’s reality where the average first-time buyer is 40, Tara exposes how government greed, perpetual stimulus extensions, and a failure to pass real budgets have turned the U.S. into the stagnating Europe she once pitied. With sharp analysis and personal reflection, this episode connects economic policy to political paralysis — and what must happen to restore America’s future.

*When Congress stopped budgeting, America stopped building.*

Tara explores how economic mismanagement and endless government spending have destroyed homeownership opportunities for young Americans. She recalls buying her first home in her early 20s — something now nearly impossible as first-time buyers hit a record low of 21%, with the average age rising to 40. The episode dissects how printing money, continuing temporary stimulus measures, and passing no real budgets since 1996 have inflated prices and destabilized the economy. Tara explains how continuing resolutions have locked in trillions in permanent spending from one-time COVID and stimulus bills, fueling inflation and debt. She also discusses the political gridlock preventing budget cuts, Trump’s challenge to reduce federal waste, and how Supreme Court and census reforms could shift congressional power. Ultimately, Tara warns that if these cycles continue, America will mirror the economic stagnation of socialist Europe — where homeownership is a luxury of the middle-aged and opportunity is out of reach for the next generation.

Tara breaks down the shocking aftermath of New York’s latest election — a turning point Democrats are celebrating as the triumph of a “new America.” With foreign-born voters driving socialist victories and native-born working-class citizens voting the other way, Tara exposes how this was never a grassroots uprising, but the culmination of a decades-long demographic and political strategy. From Zohran Mamdani’s win to the looming fight over the filibuster and amnesty, this episode uncovers the real battle shaping America’s future — and why losing it could mean the end of the nation as we know it.

Tara dives into the data behind New York’s latest election, revealing a stark divide between native-born and foreign-born voters. According to new polling, Zohran Mamdani captured over 60% of the foreign-born vote while losing among native-born Americans — a sign, Tara argues, of the Democratic Party’s long-term “replacement strategy.” She dissects how nearly half of New York City’s population is now foreign-born and one in five residents can’t speak English, reshaping the state’s political identity. The episode connects these shifts to national stakes: the Democrats’ push for amnesty, the near loss of the filibuster, and how two senators — Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema — may have prevented a permanent one-party system. Tara warns that without resistance, similar outcomes could spread nationwide, fundamentally transforming America’s political landscape.

As Thanksgiving travel grinds to a halt, Tara exposes the deeper political battle grounding America’s flights. This episode unpacks how left-wing senators are allegedly holding the government hostage to preserve healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants — and how that ties into billions in taxpayer funds, a brewing Medicaid scandal, and a national power struggle over immigration policy. From Dr. Oz’s latest revelations to the escalating airline chaos, Tara breaks down the “slow-motion insurrection” reshaping the nation.

Tara dives into the escalating conflict behind the federal government shutdown, revealing its connection to illegal immigration and Medicaid spending. She discusses claims that Democratic senators are blocking legislation to maintain healthcare for illegal immigrants — a move that’s grounding flights and straining federal workers. The episode explores the broader implications: billions of dollars allegedly misused, former presidents’ involvement in immigration flights, and Dr. Oz’s findings on Medicaid fraud. Tara and Lee frame the crisis as a “slow-motion insurrection,” arguing that the political elite’s defiance of immigration law poses a greater long-term threat than any protest. Despite the chaos, they highlight progress under Trump-era policies — including mass deportations and halted illegal crossings — framing it as a turning point in America’s border battle.

Tara breaks down today’s most pressing issues facing the United States, from mass immigration and welfare dependency to economic stagnation, job scarcity, and election strategy. She explores how federal programs, foreign visa policies, and urban demographics are reshaping cities like New York, while analyzing alleged media manipulation and global trends in censorship and digital surveillance. Through detailed analysis of policy, politics, and the economic landscape, Tara highlights what’s at stake for American freedom, jobs, and democracy.

In today’s episodes, Tara analyzes the convergence of political, economic, and social pressures shaping America. She examines immigration policy, alleging strategic welfare use, visa manipulation, and demographic engineering in major cities like New York. Tara critiques federal spending, inflation, and the limited creation of domestic jobs, highlighting the challenges posed by foreign visa holders and program mismanagement. She explores media manipulation, including misleading coverage by the BBC, and global trends in digital surveillance, like mandatory IDs in Australia. From election strategy, census fraud, and gerrymandering to social program oversight and threats to free speech, Tara offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges facing America today and what citizens must understand to protect their future.

Tara and Lee deliver a fiery breakdown of what they call “conquered territory” — New York’s transformation into what they describe as *post-American soil* under socialist influence. They unpack Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory, Bill Maher’s warning to Democrats, and the deepening divide within the party as key figures like Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama tread lightly around the new socialist wing. The hosts explore how Trump’s absence from the ballot reveals an alarming GOP enthusiasm gap, and what that means heading into the midterms. From voter demographics to economic fallout and ideological clashes, this episode charts a new phase of political realignment in America’s biggest city.

In one of the most charged episodes yet, Tara and Lee call New York “conquered territory” — a city lost to socialism after Zohran Mamdani’s unapologetic victory speech quoting Eugene Debs. They discuss the ripple effects of this ideological shift: Bill Maher’s stark warning to Democrats, economic fears of mass flight from the city, and polls suggesting residents are preparing to leave.

The conversation expands to national implications — Virginia, New Jersey, and beyond — where GOP expectations were crushed despite economic frustration. Tara highlights how Republican turnout collapses when Trump isn’t on the ballot, while Democrats remain energized by identity and ideology. The hosts also warn of a deeper cultural shift: young Americans torn between supporting Trump and flirting with socialism, creating a volatile new voter landscape.

Ultimately, the episode closes with a sobering question — once a state or city becomes “post-American,” can it ever be won back?

Tara and Lee dive into the explosive New York City mayoral election that has sent shockwaves across the political landscape. From Zoran Mamdani’s unapologetic democratic socialist victory to the hidden impact of illegal immigration on voting and welfare programs, this episode dissects how a city once emblematic of America is now a “post-American” territory. They explore the demographic shifts, voter ID loopholes, and federal welfare spending that contributed to Mamdani’s win, as well as the broader implications for upcoming elections and the future of the country.

In this episode, Tara and Lee examine the controversial election of Zoran Mamdani as NYC mayor, highlighting his democratic socialist agenda and unapologetic stance. They discuss the structural and demographic factors that enabled his victory, including high numbers of non-English speaking and non-citizen residents, no voter ID requirements, and extensive welfare benefits distributed to illegal immigrants.

The hosts argue this election signals a broader “post-American” transformation in urban governance, where traditional American norms are bypassed in favor of policies that secure votes and maintain power. They break down the implications for Republicans, the midterms, and future elections, including the urgent need for voter engagement, economic messaging, and addressing systemic loopholes. The episode closes with a warning that without action, more cities could mirror New York’s trajectory, reshaping the country’s political and cultural landscape.
