• Dearborn Is Just the Beginning — Navy Seal Carl Higbie Issues A Warming "THEY TOLD YOU IT WAS COMING"

  Former Navy SEAL and Newsmax primetime host Carl Higbie joins Jillian for a deep dive into some of the most explosive cultural and national-security issues unfolding right now.Carl breaks down Texas’s decision to label CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations — a threat he says he flagged nearly a decade ago. Jillian and Carl then dig into the crisis unfolding in Dearborn, Michigan, where Sharia courts, non-assimilation, political intimidation, and open displays of Islamic supremacy have ignited national concern. Carl argues Dearborn is a preview of what happens when Western governments abandon their own values under the weight of grievance politics and demographic pressure. From there, the conversation zooms out to Europe’s demographic replacement movements, the collapse of assimilation, and leaders too afraid of being called “Islamophobic” to confront the cultural takeover happening in plain sight.They also dive into the Thomas Crooks controversy, the unanswered questions surrounding the data-tracking claims, the FBI’s handling of his online footprint, and why Carl believes there’s far more to this story than the official narrative is admitting — including the political incentives to bury key details.They also get real about masculinity, fatherhood, the collapse of male role models, and why so many young men are drifting toward rage, nihilism, and extremists like Nick Fuentes. Carl shares raw stories from Iraq, explains the mindset that carries Navy SEALs through near-death training, and talks about why emotional resilience and discipline are disappearing from an entire generation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

• Brandon Tatum: ICE clashes, immigration chaos, race narratives — America is being torn apart on purpose

  Former law enforcement officer turned conservative pundit Brandon Tatum — aka “Officer Tatum” — joins Jillian to break down what the media won’t touch. Why are mobs attacking ICE, Border Patrol, and even the National Guard? Why are criminals being protected while law enforcement is demonized? And how did illegal immigration become a political weapon powerful enough to tear this country apart? Tatum lays out the ways in which Biden’s open border policies hurt the most vulnerable and then lays out why he believes Republicans must create a legal, accountable pathway to citizenship for law-abiding immigrants — or risk handing Democrats permanent political power for decades.Then we get into the big one: race. Tatum challenges the narrative on systemic racism, explains why statistics tell a different story, and warns that media and politics are intentionally racializing everything to divide Americans.His message: reject the manipulation, reject the fear, and start coming together — because unity is the one thing the extremists on both sides can’t control.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

• Victor Davis Hanson: The Dangerous Ideologies America Is Sleepwalking Back Into

  World-class historian and Hoover Institution senior fellowVictor Davis Hanson joins Jillian for a masterclass on how crony capitalism, socialism, communism, and religion are intertwined — and why the stakes right now could not be higher A renowned classicist who has spent his life studying war, empires, and the rise and fall of civilizations takes us inside the mind of Karl Marx — who he was, what he believed, and how his theories morphed into the socialist and communist movements that reshaped the world and still haunt us today. We examine the deadly pendulum swing between crony capitalism and communism: how unrestrained, corrupt capitalism breeds the resentment that fuels Marxist revolutions, and how those revolutions inevitably give rise to regimes just as oppressive — if not worse.Victor then takes us back to the teachings of Christ and the religious roots of Western morality to reveal how our concepts of justice, equality, the individual, and the state all began as religious ideals — and how religion itself has been weaponized throughout history for both extraordinary good and staggering harm.From the early church to medieval Europe… from the French and Russian Revolutions, to Mao, the Cold War, Mamdani and the cultural battles of today… Victor walks us through the entire arc of history to explain how we arrived at this moment: a West that is exhausted, divided, and once again flirting with ideologies that have already burned the world down.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
