Jon Herold welcomes the brilliant Dr. Carol Swain for a powerful conversation that hits straight at the heart of America’s most pressing issues. From Trump’s new executive orders on election integrity and education reform to dismantling the Department of Education, Dr. Swain brings sharp insight and firsthand experience as a former member of the 1776 Commission. She explains the spiritual and cultural stakes of our political battles and why a national revival might be the only path forward.
After Dr. Swain’s segment, Jon dives deep into Trump’s sweeping executive orders, from cracking down on federal unions and reviving American history to restoring sanity at the Smithsonian and cleaning up D.C. He unpacks the potential of a temporary administration in Ukraine, a halt to U.S. contributions to the World Trade Organization, and the ripple effects of BlackRock’s halted Panama Canal deal. Plus: fluoride bans, Signal chat fallout, Boasberg’s ruling, the Supreme Court showdown, and liberal meltdowns of the week. Packed with sharp analysis and a touch of righteous sarcasm, this episode delivers the big picture.
