Why are democrats defending criminals? Plus, Sen. John Thune Joins the Progrum

🎙️ There is absolute rot at the core of the Democratic Party, especially their constant need to defend criminals. We start with Senator Reed's baffling attempt to defend narco-traffickers, trying to paint them as mere "delivery drivers" in a discussion about supply and demand. We followed that with the unbelievably unhinged rhetoric from Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

⚡The left's entire ideology is now centered on opposition to Donald Trump, which leads them to support the indefensible, whether it's drug runners, domestic terrorists, or even murderers like Luigi Mangione, who now has his own fan club—the "Cougars for Luigi." This kind of political insanity is what we're up against.

🐘 Then, we got into a deep-dive conversation with Senate Majority Leader @JohnThune, who provided incredible insight into the unprecedented amount of Senate votes this year, driven entirely by the Democrats' desire to obstruct every one of the President’s nominations. Thune also broke down the Republican Party’s strategic message for the 2026 midterms

👑 We finished the show with the King of the Hill, pitting Smokin' Joe Walsh against Ron Filipkowski. Last, a variety story about a drunk raccoon that broke into a liquor store on Black Friday, passed out next to a toilet, and sparked a serious discussion about the dangers of trash pandas.️
