Iran, Mexico & the Border Crisis: How to Be Strong Without Endless Wars | 03/02/26

The first step to solving the intractable jihadist threat in America is to properly diagnose it. The problem is not ISIS, a handful of “extremists,” or a certain strain of Islam. Islam itself demands that people participate in jihad and Sharia. It’s just that not everyone fully follows the religion. However, the entire infrastructure of mosques in America adhere to the only authentic dogma they have. I’m joined by Danny Burmawi, a Jordanian Muslim convert to Christianity, who warns that Islam is not a religion but a state in itself with some religious practice. He makes the case that while you have freedom to practice religion, you do not have the freedom to promote state activities subversive to America any more than the Chinese communists have a constitutional right to operate facilities on our shores if they called it a religion. We also discuss the need to rigorously denaturalize those engaging in this subversion, including family members of jihadists.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The conservative movement is facing a defining question: What comes after Donald Trump? In this episode, I sit down with State Freedom Caucus Network President Andy Roth to discuss the future of the American Right, the failures of the Republican establishment, and why state-level Freedom Caucus conservatives may be the only path forward. In a very deep discussion, we delve into why the Freedom Caucus is the only long-term strategy beyond Trump, how state Freedom Caucuses are reshaping conservative politics but still face enormous headwinds, and how primaries need to be reformed. Separately, I do a deep dive into how a disastrous new housing bill (HR 6644) will fundamentally alter the housing market, strip local zoning rights, and force unwanted AI data centers and Section 8 housing into deep-red counties. Federal grants will be used to bribe local RINO governments into destroying their own communities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Former Army intelligence officer Michael Pregent joins me for an urgent, deep dive into the U.S. military's ongoing campaign against Iran. He breaks down the tactical successes of degrading the IRGC, the vital importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, and the critical pitfalls that are looming if we don’t learn from past mistakes. We also discuss the need to remove our worthless military bases in enemy countries that weigh us down and to develop a consistent strategy of alliances and deterrent that won’t negate our efforts in this war. Beyond the Middle East, we connect the dots to the existential threats right here at home — from open borders to domestic terrorism — and expose the dangerous foreign influence of nations like Qatar holding U.S. policy hostage.

Is the Republican Party actually enabling the very policies conservatives oppose? And why is conservative media more offended by Democrats who use the Bible to push their agenda when the GOP quietly does the same thing? In this explosive breakdown, Daniel Horowitz argues that the modern GOP — and its conservative media accomplice — has become a “Trojan horse” for Democrat policies — allowing liberal agendas to advance under a Republican label and getting the base to stand down. I dive into why Republican leaders, including Trump, continue to support policies conservatives would reject if proposed by Democrats and why the real voter fraud is the GOP. Conservative media obsesses about the SAVE Act and voter fraud, but I make the case for why an immigration moratorium should be our No. 1 issue instead of voter fraud. I also preview the Mississippi primaries and show how they are emblematic of why we continue to lose on policy.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There is no sugarcoating this. In light of the rash of “Ramadan” terror attacks in America, the time has come for a complete moratorium on this form of immigration. I make the case for why Trump must use the DHS funding bill for immigration reform and why it’s a bigger deal than the SAVE Act. Next, I’m joined by Krista Schild of the RAIR Foundation, who observes how Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s designation of the Muslim Brotherhood in Texas has no teeth in it. The legislature needs to convene a special session. Meanwhile, Islamists with connections to some of the worst terrorists continue to run education facilities and mosques in Texas. Even rural Texas is being colonized with more mosques. This is a do-or-die moment for our civilization. Blue states are gone. Will Texas follow Mamdani’s New York City?   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why do Republicans keep winning elections — but conservative policies never seem to flow? In this explosive episode, I break down the biggest problem in American politics today: the conservative movement’s shockingly low expectations for Republican leaders. I begin with analyzing Trump's five priorities and the missed opportunities and low expectations. I’m joined by Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison, who exposes how many Republican politicians campaign as conservative insurgents. But once in power, they empower Democrat policies, expand government, and then demand voters support them anyway to “beat the Democrats” — the very same Democrats they’ve empowered! If conservatives want real change, they must raise their expectations and demand accountability from their own party. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are foreign information ops injecting "digital fentanyl" into the American Right? Daniel Horowitz and David Reaboi expose the sophisticated campaigns dividing conservatives. We cannot fix the world's problems with a movement completely doped up on digital misdirection. Today, I’m joined by my friend David Reaboi to discuss his explosive upcoming book, "Viral Libels." We break down how foreign actors — specifically Russian information operations — are deliberately feeding the American Right a diet of distracting conspiracy theories built around Jews as the center of everything to make the movement cognitively ineffective. Separately, I discuss President Trump's recent primary endorsements in Montana and Texas, the danger of replacing principled conservatism with the GOP establishment status quo, and why focusing on real, domestic battles (medical freedom, land use, immigration) is the only way to save the country.

The conservative movement, or what is left of it, is at a generational crossroads. I break down the Texas primary vote to show that although there were some victories, conservatives still underperformed because Baby Boomers continue to support status-quo Republicans. We need a message of pro-humanism vs. transhumanism to bring in younger Republicans to a constructive alternative to the Baby Boomer GOP. Later on, I discuss the shocking reality of the AI and green energy takeover. From Ohio to Oklahoma, state governments are handing over your land and spiking your utility bills to build massive data centers, wind farms, solar arrays, and carbon-capture pipelines. You are footing the bill for a transhumanist, ultra-processed future. It's time to draw the battle lines: Pro-Humanism vs. Transhumanism. Learn more about your ad choices.

The world is exploding — Iran, Mexican cartels, border security, China infiltration — and Americans are asking one critical question: How do we defend our country WITHOUT repeating the disasters of Iraq and Afghanistan? This is a legitimate question to ask, and we thread the needle today with my friend Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Blair, a former Border Patrol agent and Iraq War veteran, takes us through the strategic plays of the Trump administration in Iran and the Caribbean, while also raising concerns about the shortsightedness of administration policies dealing with the Mexican cartels and prematurely declaring the border secure. America must project strength — but with discipline, clarity, and strategy. What does that balance look like?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Autism rates have risen dramatically over the past several decades. Why? In this episode, I speak with medical researcher Matthew Cormier about a developing scientific hypothesis: whether immune dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and latent viral reactivation may play a role in the modern rise of autism spectrum disorders, as well as a myriad of other chronic illnesses, cancers, and allergies. Cormier shows how many environmental changes, including vaccines, have shown a proclivity to dysregulate the immune system, including reactivating chronic, latent versions of the viruses associated with autism. He also discusses the alarming decline in human body temperature and what it says about our immune health. This episode does not offer medical advice. It examines emerging scientific discussions and published hypotheses surrounding immune function and chronic illness. Autism, autoimmune disorders, allergies, and chronic inflammatory diseases have all increased in recent decades. What environmental or biological shifts might explain this trend?
