Kim Thone Visentine, co-founder of the Coldwater Creek Group, joins the show to discuss a hard-won victory after 15 years pushing for recognition and compensation for those exposed to radioactive waste in the St. Louis region. Thanks to the recent expansion of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) included in the “big beautiful bill,” residents from 20 affected ZIP codes—including Coldwater Creek, Weldon Springs, and Westlake—are now eligible for financial compensation and medical bill coverage related to radiation-linked cancers. Kim shares her personal connection, revealing her son’s rare radiation-related brain tumor, and highlights the challenges survivors and families faced fighting for decades against denial and indifference from agencies and lawmakers. She urges affected residents to gather proof of residence and diagnosis and prepare to apply once the government’s application portal goes live.

Genevieve Wood of the Heritage Foundation breaks down the shocking decision by the National Education Association, America’s largest teachers union, to sever ties with the Anti-Defamation League over its longstanding pro-Israel stance.

She advises conservatives to focus on reform within existing parties rather than chasing unlikely third-party success.
