The Truth about “No Kings” + DHS Asst Sec Tricia McLaughlin Joins the Progrum
🎙️ The Progrum totally shreds the absurd "No Kings" rally, which proved to be little more than a cringeworthy Saturday for the country's most maladjusted boomers. There were A-list clowns in attendance, like Cory Booker and George Conway, who did not own their moments. The fellas dive deep into the funding and farce that is the No Kings protests. This wasn't some organic outpouring of democratic spirit; it was a strategically placed, expensive performance designed to achieve a very specific political end.
👑 This was all about one thing: early voting in liberal strongholds like Fairfax and Prince William counties, making a compelling argument that the Democratic leadership—including Chuck Schumer—used the chaos and the temporary halting of paychecks to overindex their base and swing the razor-close races. The urgent message is clear: Republicans must realize they're fighting a highly coordinated, financially powerful, and completely cynical campaign.
🇺🇸 DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin hit us with some concrete numbers and context on the work of ICE and the broader department. She confirms the number of known or suspected terrorists arrested in the US is shockingly high, with 700 in the last 250 days, and that 70% of those arrested have prior criminal convictions or pending charges. McLaughlin underscores that the number one priority is removing the "worst of the worst"—not indiscriminate stops—and she details the horrifying case of a Hamas fighter who participated in the October 7th massacre and was granted legal entry under the Biden administration.

How the Left Took the Democrat Party Hostage
🎙️ There is an astounding disarray of intellectual dishonesty gripping the Democratic Party. We put AOC and Bernie Sanders’ CNN town hall under the microscope and it’s totally ridiculous. AOC’s attempts to artfully dodge a direct question on illegal immigrants is proof she's planning a major political move.
🫏 How about the most damning example of Democratic orthodoxy: the swift retribution against Senator John Fetterman. Fetterman, who votes with his party 96% of the time, dared to utter the truth on cable news: Democrats shut down the government, and the "health care" crisis they blame on Republicans was a funding cliff they designed. His honesty was immediately met with hostility.
🇺🇸 CBP Director Rodney Scott. Scott joins the Progrum and confirms that the security situation rapidly improved because of Trump's moves. Scott explains the terrifying cartel strategy, the Biden administration's strategy on the border and what’s next for Customs and Border Protection.️

Nutty Democrats Crank the Crazy
🎙️ Democrats have insane priorities right now. It’s crazy to see the disconnect with Senate Democrats, living it up at a luxurious retreat in Napa Valley at the Hotel Yountville, while the country faces budget uncertainty, and our troops' paychecks are at risk. They're spending $1100 per night to sip espresso martinis, a move that Holmes calls a slap in the face to all Americans. This retreat underscores a new era of Democratic politics where any sense of shame or accountability to the American public has vanished.
⚡We review some of the best of the crazy clips out there, like Al Sharpton and Yvette Clark calling the CR an act of white supremacism. Not to be outdone, we also saw a march by House Democrats demanding a newly elected member be sworn in, a move that’s not possible because the House has already done its job and is out of session. These theater kids are running the asylum.
🇺🇸Amber Duke, senior editor at The Daily Caller, breaks down the Democratic Party's clinical insanity. We cover why today's bureaucracy is so entrenched and the federal purge that’s underway. Amber explains how the media's bias isn't just how they cover stories, but what they choose to ignore—like the government shutdown—to shield Democrats from liability. We also confront the disturbing trend of the modern left justifying political violence.
₿ Coinbase Chief Policy Officer, Fahriar Shirzad, explains why this administration has been the most crypto-friendly in history. He details the fight to bring crypto markets back to the U.S. with policies like the Genius Act and the Clarity Act. Shirzad clarifies that the true value of crypto is in allowing the secure, instantaneous, and cheaper transfer of value. He also exposes big banks’ brazen effort to stop crypto.

How Donald Trump Brought Israel and Gaza to a Ceasefire w/ Eric Trump
🎙️ Eric Trump joins the Progrum to discuss peace in the Middle East and what an achievement it is for Donald Trump to get Israel and Palestine to a ceasefire and peace deal. The fellas discuss the sheer irony of the media ignoring this achievement, noting the clear difference between this universally accepted peace and past conflicts that resulted in winners and losers—a win Eric suggests should have already earned his father a Nobel Peace Prize, unlike some past recipients. Eric paints a picture of the immense effort and personal cost involved, asserting that moments like this make the entire "voyage" of political attacks worthwhile.
🇮🇱 ️Two people who won’t admit that Trump is crushing it in the Middle East are Kamala Harris and Tony Blinken. Eric and the fellas criticize Harris's vague, non-committal praise and Blinken's brazen attempt to re-write history by suggesting the peace plan was a continuation of their administration’s efforts. Eric slams their narratives, citing the international disrespect shown to America under weak governance, contrasting it with the spectacular receptions his father received abroad. They then move into the core of Eric's book, “Under Siege,” detailing the relentless ten-year campaign of corruption and persecution, from the dirty dossier and raids on Mar-a-Lago to the barrage of subpoenas and legal fees aimed at bankrupting and silencing the family. https://www.amazon.com/Under-Siege-Familys-Fight-Nation/dp/1668205874

How to Test Negative for Stupid w/ Sen. Kennedy
🎙️ Fun Time Friday with the always-hilarious Senator John Kennedy, who didn't hold back on the chaos in D.C. Kennedy broke down Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's move to shut down the government, calling it an obvious political vanity project intended to mollify the socialist wing of the Democratic Party and its leader. The fellas agree that Schumer walked into a box canyon with no plan or path to victory, and Kennedy lays out his prediction for how the Majority Leader will try to get out of it.
