Episodes

  1. Wilkow Show: Gayle Trotter's new book: "Right in the World" plus the Roe/Supreme Court madness

    Conservative political analyst Gayle Trotter was a guest on the Andrew Wilkow Show on Salem Network to talk about her new book, "Right in the World". She also talked about why suburban women care more about border, inflation and the price of gas than Roe v Wade going back to the states; why...

  2. Ep 189 Is Gun Control a Matter of National Security?

    In this week's episode, I discuss how states (including Texas and Montana) are becoming Second Amendment Sanctuaries; an attempt to change the Left's messaging on gun control away from a "public health threat" to a "national security threat"; and why a possible factor in the surge of mass…

  3. Ep 188 The Right To Earn A Living With Anastasia Boden

    I spoke with Anastasia Boden, an attorney in the Pacific Legal Foundation's Economic Liberty Program, about the constitutional right to earn a living, and how the powers exercised by governors during Covid have harmed people and communities around the country. We also talked about certificate of...

  4. Ep 187 The Limits of the First Amendment

    In this episode I share some news items about the first amendment which caught my eye this week. Can you be charged for flying an "[Expletive] Biden" flag in your own yard? Does Florida's new law combating rioting and memorial destruction violate the first amendment? Has the Supreme Court given...

  5. Second Amendment Clubhouse

    I'm joined by Erin Murphy and Amy Swearer to discuss our Second Amendment rights and the current attacks on our rights. Do so-called gun control regulations have a greater impact on a woman's right to self-defense? Erin Murphy is a partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Kirkland & Ellis LLP....

  6. Right In DC: First Amendment with Mary Hasson

    Have we lost free speech and freedom of religion in America? I speak with expert Mary Rice Hasson about current legal cases and bills before Congress. Some of these hold hope for our cherished first amendment rights, and some present dangers to the protection of our liberties.

  7. Mainstream Media and President Trump battle over fake stroke story, mail-in voting

    I was on Fox News Media Buzz on Sunday to talk about two stories concerning the media and the President. First was fake news reporting that the President had had a stroke last fall, and the second is how the media went berserk when the President pointed out an obvious weakness in mailing voting,...

  8. Flynn Persecution • Great Jobs Report • Insane MSM Article • Why Trump will WIN

    I want to share with you various items that came up this week. The first is an update of the ongoing persecution of General Flynn, the second is an excellent jobs creation report than beat expectations, the third is a totally insane article in The Atlantic that is trying to drive a wedge in…

  9. THE CHOICE: Hope & Jobs versus Dopes & Mobs

    The Republican National Convention exceeded all expectations and was a resounding success. It clearly showed how President Trump and the Republicans want to build things up in stark contrast to the Democrat's and their radical Marxist agenda wanting to tear things down. That was shown last night...

  10. Recap of Day 3 of the Republican National Convention

    Another day of great speakers at last night's Republican National Convention! I go over some of the highlights from their speeches. MENTIONED WATCH: Republican National Convention - Night 3: Land of Heroes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3HXDrE9oAc Opening prayer by Rabbi Aryeh Spero...

  11. GOP Convention Day 2 Recap with Cassie Smedile, GOP Deputy Communications Director

    Today I talked with Cassie Smedile (@CMSmedile), the GOP Deputy Communications Director, about the highlights of day two of the Republican National Convention. MENTIONED: RNC 2020 19th Amendment Video https://youtu.be/QH9LRPbxdgc Women of the White House…

  12. RNC Spokesperson Liz Harrington: “This is the last great stand for freedom”

    Today I spoke with Liz Harrington, the spokesperson for the Republican National Convention, about the incredible speeches given at the convention and how the powerful, hopeful story of real Americans who have benefited from the promise of America contrasts with the dark, tear-down-everything…

  13. WEEK IN REVIEW: Bannon arrest, Guns & Biden/Kamala, DNC convention & blaming America, SCOTUS, Flynn

    This has been such a weird and unexpected year! Given the 2020 presidential election where Americans have a real choice between a leftist Biden/Harris administration and a liberty-loving, tyranny-hating Trump administration, we were guaranteed to have an active year. Then the Chinese Communist...

  14. WEEK IN REVIEW: Kamala & Guns, Crazy Mask, Israel/UAE, Durham, Flynn, MSM Watch, SCOTUS and Shapiro

    I've got a lot of things in the news to cover for this week: the predictable Biden choice for VP, Kamala Harris and gun control, Biden's nutty mask mandate and wearing masks on Zoom alone in your house (??!), the historic Israel-UAE agreement, update on Durham investigation, update on the Gen....

  15. WEEK IN REVIEW: NRA, 2nd Amendment, Flynn case, Sally Yates, Chief Justice Roberts, Biden

    Summer is for the beach, and we all need some time to reflect on the crazy year we have experienced. Also, we need to store up energy for the fall election season. I took this week off from regular daily episodes so I could do some reflecting on the bigger themes of the year. I also have been...

  16. Justice Delayed AGAIN for General Michael Flynn

    General Michael Flynn today is still a man with his liberty in jeopardy. There are few events more stressful in life than being a criminal defendant with the full force and resources of the government arrayed against you, especially the federal Department of Justice. But in this case, it is no...

  17. The Obama and Disappointing Bush Support for Biden

    “Democrats rule and Republicans drool.” That is the level of political discourse offered by Democrats today. President Obama linked up with Hollywood, Internet, and tech celebrities to raise vast amounts of money to support Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden. What are Republicans leaders...

  18. We Don’t Deserve Bill Barr

    Trump Derangement Syndrome was on full display at the House Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday, Tuesday, July 28, 2020. Attorney General Bill Barr was the picture of calm and control as the Democrats threw futile temper tantrums and embarrassed themselves. Because these childish House…

  19. Mugged by Reality: Rioting in Seattle

    What happens when you are a “liberal mugged by reality”? You might just want to go buy a gun and demand government action against liberal rioting! That’s what happened to ESPN Radio Host Paul Gallant. Paul directed President Donald Trump to “Chill Dawg,” when President Trump tweeted about the...

  20. Nevada favors Casinos over Churches; Discriminates against Right of Free Exercise of Religion

    Governors across the country are using the COVID-19 pandemic to grab power. Their power grabs reveal a lot about each governor. These governors act like they now have a carte blanche to disregard our Constitution. Take, for example, Nevada. The governor of Nevada, Steve Sisolak, issued a…

    more
  21. New York City is a dangerous mess on Andrew Cuomo’s watch

    Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York personifies so many glaring issues with today’s Democrat party. Democrat politicians love power and control, even when their exercise of that power harms Americans. But the mainstream media will never hold these Democrat politicians accountable for their actions!...

  22. The Virginia Plan: Gun-grabbing Virginia politicians taking their bad gun control laws nationwide

    Bad ideas from Virginia are headed to Congress. We witnessed a take over of power of the Virginia state government by Democrats, and the Democrat legislators hastily passed sweeping gun restrictions. Democrat Governor Northam signed the laws and the laws became effective this July. The Virginia...

  23. Why did FBI push the Russian collusion hoax promoted by spy Christopher Steele?

    Think of all that came out of the FBI’s actions to undergird the reliability of the Dirty Dossier, assembled and promoted by British spy Christopher Steele -- the FISA applications; the eavesdropping on the Trump campaign; the targeting of top and lower level Trump campaign helpers; the $25…

    more
  24. Both Sides Agree: Flynn Case Must END

    The judge overseeing the case against General Michael Flynn won’t accept the decision of the appellate court telling him to dismiss the abusive case against General Flynn. He is like an umpire trying to force the teams to play extra innings after the game is over. As General Flynn’s lawyer Sidney...

  25. Double Standards and Attacks on Religious Faith in California

    Is it hard to make sense of what is going on today in our country? As I watch from the east coast what is going on in California, I cannot help but wonder why the citizens of California tolerate the patent double standards of their state government? A governor who is in the pocket of the teachers...

  26. The Second Amendment and the Right to Defend Yourself

    When Mark and Patricia McCloskey defended themselves with a strong show of force against hundreds of aggressive, trespassing people, I was reminded of my testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in January 30, 2013, when our federal lawmakers were considering banning certain firearms and...

  27. The New York Times and WRONGTHINK

    The Left has won again. New York Times Columnist and editor Bari Weiss resigned her position at the paper and wrote a scathing denunciation on her way out the door. Faulting the paper for not living it up to the high standards of journalism, Weiss revealed her struggles to be a centrist at a…

    more
  28. Roger Stone, Trump and the Legal Left

    President Trump commuted the criminal sentence of long-time friend and supporter Roger Stone last week. Many Americans believed this commutation was long overdue since the prosecution of Roger Stone was politically motivated and based on the thinnest of gruel. In the end, Roger Stone was…

  29. Gayle Trotter on Mainstream Media Battling Trump over Opening Schools, and the CDC

    The mainstream media is criticizing President Trump for encouraging Americans to go back to work or children to go back to school. The American Academy of Pediatricians is urging children to be physically present in schools in the fall, and yet the media are aligned with the Biden campaign and…

  30. Gayle Trotter on SCOTUS Decision Blocking House Democrats from Trump Tax Records

    The continuing saga of Trump's tax returns . . . . . The SCOTUS decision was a clear win for President Trump. He's not going to have to turn over his tax returns before the November election and it's possible he'll never have to turn over them. The Court decided in a 7-2 decision that there is a...

  31. Religious Liberty WIN for Little Sisters and ALL Americans

    As Justice Thomas wrote in Wednesday's, July 8, 2020 Supreme Court decision, “For over 150 years, the Little Sisters have engaged in faithful service and sacrifice, motivated by a religious calling to surrender all for the sake of their brother.” After the Obama Administration decided to force…

    more
  32. Gun-Free Zones and the Second Amendment

    Attacks against the Second Amendment are unremitting. A new attack strategy seeks to repeal statewide protections for law-abiding citizens to exercise their second amendment rights and focus on passing more meaningless restrictions at the local level. One of these meaningless and probably harmful...

  33. Faithless Electors Be Gone!

    Can state electors cast their votes for whomever they chose in a presidential election? We witnessed several electors do just that in 2016, in an effort to deny Donald Trump his hard won victory by throwing the presidential election into the House of Representatives. On Monday, the US Supreme…

    more
  34. Cultural Revolution, Trump and Mount Rushmore

    Some American speeches go down in history as the right words, at the right time, by the right speaker. The speech delivered by President Trump at Mount Rushmore will go down as his bravest and best speech, one to inspire not only us but also future generations of Americans, during what is a...

  35. Time for some GOOD News! Record-Breaking Jobs Gain, Historic USMCA Trade Agreement & 4th of July

    Happy 4th of July! We all need some good news and in this episode, I talk about the record-breaking jobs gain that just took place as well as the historic USMCA trade agreement that went into effect--another Trump campaign promise fulfilled. PLUS, I talk about why Independence Day is one of my...

  36. SCOTUS Rules in Favor of First Amendment Religious Rights

    By a slim margin of 5 to 4, the Supreme Court struck down a state law that banned state aid to religious schools. This decision shows a respect for the long-neglected First Amendment of religious rights. Justice Thomas rightly noted that Supreme Court decisions in the 20th century went too far,...

  37. Attorney General Barr OWNS Biased NPR Interview

    The liberal NPR recently interviewed Attorney General Bill Barr and asked him typically biased questions, but he had them on the defensive as he spit facts back at the interviewer. Barr doesn't let the media mob, the Left nor the Democrats bully him and he is a great pick by President Trump to...

  38. More Bad Law from the Chief Justice

    Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and the four Democrat-nominated justices rules in favor of the abortionists this week and against the health and safety of women and their elected representatives in Louisiana. I analyze this recent SCOTUS ruling and how Justice Thomas stood up for what is...

  39. Supreme Court rules for Trump on immigration case

    The Trump Administration won at the Supreme Court yesterday when the court decided by 7 votes to 2 votes to deny review of the asylum request of a Sri Lankan who was arrested 25 yards away from the US border after illegally entering the US. This should have been a unanimous decision but, of…

  40. General Flynn for the Win

    General Michael Flynn and his lawyer Sidney Powell won BIG TIME at the DC Appellate Court yesterday when the court granted Flynn’s emergency motion in a 2-1 decision. What you might not realize is that ALL AMERICANS won big in the decision released yesterday as well! Let me explain. MENTIONED...

  41. The Left is Targeting Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts

    Time and again, some threatening rhetoric has swayed Chief Justice John Roberts in an important case before the Supreme Court. The Left continues their efforts to persuade Chief Justice John Roberts to continue ruling against the Trump admin -- and he is caving in to their pressure. MENTIONED...

  42. Democrats Threaten Election Integrity

    “Democrats continue to try to redesign our entire election system mere months before November to fit their partisan agenda.” So says RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, and she is right! Remember Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel when he said: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And…

  43. Fired Manhattan US Attorney thinks he is above the US Constitution?!

    Why is the clear language of our Constitution so difficult to understand for some people? Article II Section 1 of the US Constitution states: “The Executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.” We keep running up against challenges to this fundamental principle…

  44. Gayle Trotter on Supreme Court defying Trump Administration in DACA ruling

    The judicial branch has just dumped buckets of sand into what should be a straight-forward process of this administration being able to undo what was an unlawful executive action in the first place. Unfortunately, and I hate to say it, but Chief Justice John Roberts strikes yet again. By the time...

  45. Sidney Powell fights the Deep State Zombie Case Against Gen. Flynn

    The political persecution of General Michael Flynn continues on. I wish I could report to you today that the Appellate Court judges or the District Court judge have dismissed the case against General Flynn and apologized to him for the injustice he has suffered. That is not possible yet. I do…

  46. Clarence Thomas: An American Treasure

    The Left enjoys nothing better than demeaning those who disagree with them. Frequent targets of their attacks are people like Clarence Thomas. Justice Thomas is an American treasure. He is a great leader and inspiring fellow American. His life story is one that every American child should know.…

  47. Gun Rights Update: Supreme Court Denies Second Amendment Cases #2A

    Why does the SECOND AMENDMENT get NO LOVE from our current Supreme Court? This week, the Supreme Court had the chance to take up a defense of our fundamental right to keep and bear arms. Yet the court denied ten requests to protect our beloved Second Amendment. These are our fellow citizens who…

  48. FLYNN HEARING UPDATE: Deep State WAR Against Gen. Flynn Intensifies

    General Michael Flynn faced the latest battle in the Deep State’s war against him last Friday. And it didn’t look good. You remember that instead of dropping the garbage charges against him as requested by the Department of Justice after the abusive practices of law enforcement and prosecutors…

  49. Gayle Trotter on Upcoming Supreme Court Decision on DACA

  50. Gen. Michael Flynn Hearing Battle Coming!

    General Flynn is facing the fight of his life this Friday. Instead of dropping the garbage charges against him as requested by the Department of Justice after the abusive practices of law enforcement and prosecutors were revealed, the judge in his case took the extraordinary step of fighting the...
