| 27 Oct 2022 | Here Comes Your Ninetieth Nervous Breakdown | 01:00:14 | |

| 21 Oct 2022 | Everybody Just Wants Power | 00:49:50 | |
The podcast takes up an article in The Federalist arguing that the New Right should stop calling itself conservative because conservatives reject using state power to punish your enemies.

| 21 Sep 2022 | Is This ‘Law-Like’ Enough for You? | 00:54:49 | |
American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Adam White joins the podcast to take on the courts. Did Joe Biden step on a legal landmine when he declared the pandemic “over?” Did Donald Trump err in pushing for a special master to review the classified documents he kept at Mar-a-Lago? And how can the Supreme Court preserve its legitimacy? Adam makes the case in his cover article in the October issue of Commentary, “God Save This Honorable Court—and We Can, Too.” | |||
| 14 Oct 2022 | Culpability vs. Accountability | 01:02:27 | |
The podcast debates Trump’s role on January 6 and whether, to borrow 9/11 conspiracy theory lingo, he LIHOP (let it happen on purpose) or MIHOP (made it happen on purpose). And what was the January 6 commission’s goal? To establish Trump's culpability or to create the conditions for accountability down the road.

Today's podcast takes up White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain's shocking attempt to claim Joe Biden came into office with an unemployment rate 40 percent higher than it was in point of fact—more evidence they're looking to retrofit the truth to help them in the midterms.

| 26 Oct 2022 | What Did We Just Watch? | 00:57:49 | |
Tuesday night’s senatorial debate in Pennsylvania treated voters to a voyeuristic spectacle that was painful to watch. Can voters look beyond John Fetterman’s infirmities on November 8? Also, Lee Zeldin shines in the New York state gubernatorial debate. | |||
| 30 Sep 2022 | The Crime Issue Roars Back | 00:53:40 | |
Today's podcast begins with a horror story from Chicago—a criminal run amok just a day or so after a judge released him on his own recognizance—and broadens it out to wonder whether the seeming halt in the Democratic polling surge is due to Republicans hitting them hard on crime. Then we get pretty dark about the possibility of bad stuff happening with nukes in Ukraine. It's crushing morosity! Give a listen. | |||
| 01 Nov 2022 | Will Bibi Make a Comeback? | 01:09:52 | |
Dan Senor joins the podcast today to map out five scenarios for the Israeli election results—Israel is voting today.

| 28 Oct 2022 | Of Course, Crime Is a Real Issue | 00:53:57 | |

Today's podcast begins with talk about the potential Red tsunami before taking up a genuinely shocking and disgusting New York Times article that accuses Israel of stealing Palestinian recipes as a form of cultural genocide. Give a listen. | |||
| 19 Oct 2022 | It All Began With Obama | 01:03:09 | |

| 29 Mar 2023 | Enough With the Ice Cream, Mr. President | 00:57:07 | |
Today's podcast wonders at Joe Biden making ice cream jokes and anti-Republican quips in response to the school shooting in Nashville and how it is he is not held more to account for his simple bad taste. Also: are we going to see the shooter's manifesto and if not, why not? Give a listen. | |||

| 05 Apr 2023 | Well, That Was Not a Good Day | 01:02:19 | |

| 10 Apr 2023 | Bullhorn Bulls--- | 01:18:07 | |
Today's podcast discusses the political nonsense in Tennessee and how it's a way to move the conversation about the horrifying shooting in Nashville away from the shooter's motivations to other, more politically palatable subject matter for Democrats and liberals. And yes, we talk about the Trump indictment again. Eli Lake joins us. Give a listen. | |||
| 11 Apr 2023 | The Wide World of Leaks | 01:10:19 | |

| 05 May 2023 | Was Life Better 50 Years Ago? | 00:57:32 | |
Today's podcast takes up a Pew Research poll showing a majority of Americans believe things were better 50 years ago than they are now.

| 10 May 2023 | Liabilities | 01:07:03 | |

| 11 May 2023 | Trump 1, CNN 0 | 01:10:49 | |
Today's podcast reviews Donald Trump's performance at the CNN Republican Town Hall in New Hampshire—and not only his, but the hysterical Twitter reaction to it and the waves of liberal hostility generated against CNN's Kaitlan Collins for somehow not preventing Trump from being effective.

| 12 May 2023 | You Can't Win If You Don't Try | 00:49:08 | |
Today's podcast takes up, again, the baffling refusal of Republicans running against Donald Trump to...run against Donald Trump. How do they think they can beat him if they don't try to beat him? Also, the immigration crisis and the indictment of the subway chokeholder. Give a listen. | |||

| 17 May 2023 | Are They Really Going to Stay in the Senate? | 01:02:42 | |
Today's podcast points out yesterday's daily double in the Senate, with John Fetterman delivering a garbled round of questioning for bankers hastily and foolishly cleaned up by a Washington Post reporter and Dianne Feinstein claiming to have been voting in the Senate during months when she was in California supposedly recovering from "shingles." What effect will this have on voter views of Joe Biden, himself the object of questioning about his compos mentis? Give a listen. | |||
| 18 May 2023 | Sussex Family Values | 01:01:23 | |
The podcast crew drops its collective jaw at the clearly questionable "near catastrophic" car chase through New York starring Harry and Meghan that clearly didn't quite happen. What do the Sussexes have in common with the movie Addams Family Values? Give a listen. | |||
| 19 May 2023 | Do Clothes Make the Man? | 01:08:01 | |

Today's podcast rolls its eyes at Joe Biden's sudden conversion to the idea that he, as president, can invoke the 14th amendment to solve the debt-ceiling crisis—something three weeks ago he said he could not do. Is this more grist for the mill of his chances in 2024? Not so fast; there are data that suggest the Republicans have more to worry about than Democrats next year. Give a listen. | |||

| 25 May 2023 | Deeeee Santis—and Ukraine | 01:07:37 | |
We are fortunate to be joined on today's podcast by Fred Kagan, military historian at AEI and analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, to explain to us the incredible complexities of the present moment in the Russia-Ukraine war.

| 02 Jun 2023 | Biden Takes a Fall | 01:01:28 | |

| 05 Jun 2023 | Sonic Boom and Gloom | 00:49:01 | |
Today we discuss the sonic boom heard over Washington D.C. yesterday and what it says about our defense preparedness. We then take up the worrisome provocations by China in the Taiwan Strait and new signs of sagging support for Ukraine. The gang also analyzes a puzzling New York Times article on Joe Biden's age. Give a listen. | |||

| 09 Jun 2023 | How Strong Is the Case Against Trump? | 00:59:53 | |
Chris Stirewalt joins the podcast today to discuss the federal indictment of Donald Trump and how much it matters that it appears to be a stronger case than the Manhattan indictment, given Trump's sway over the Republican Party and the instantly defensive response of GOP politicians to the news Thursday night.

Today's podcast tries to make sense of the reports that the Biden administration is about to relax sanctions and provide money to Iran in exchange for which Iran will...have highly enriched uranium?

Give a listen. | |||

Today's podcast questions the meaning and the results of the trip by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to China, where he engaged in two days of talks intended to ratchet down tensions between our two countries.

| 22 Jun 2023 | Adam Schiff Is a Liar | 00:50:01 | |
Eli Lake joins the podcast today to discuss the official House of Representatives censure of California Rep. Adam Schiff. He lied, repeatedly, about having seen intelligence information proving Donald Trump colluded with Russia. Was that enough to justify the House action against him? And what about the testimony yesterday of John Durham, the special counsel who investigated the behavior of Democrats in 2016 relating to Trump and Russia? Give a listen. | |||
| 23 Jun 2023 | Blowing the Whistle on the 'Big Guy' | 00:59:07 | |
Eliana Johnson joins today's podcast with a scoop from her publication, the Washington Free Beacon: A photograph makes it clear Hunter Biden was in proximity to his father on the day in 2017 he threatened a Chinese energy executive with Joe's wrath should a deal between Hunter and the Chinese company not go through.
