Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Today's podcast. I mean, I start with I mean, I think it's a universal truth. Now, Republicans are worthless. They're a giant piece of crap. They can't get anything done. And I start with John Cornyn and and lay it out. I think it's a pretty solid case that I think you'll agree with. Also, Buck Sexton joins me about his new book. He has studied propaganda and how it works.
And when you see the parallels from China and Russia to today, it's a little terrifying.
Chapter 2: What does Glenn Beck think about John Cornyn's comments on the GOP?
He also talks a little bit about how you can recognize it, spot it and cure it. Also, Stephen Shaw is on about the population collapse. Nowhere in the world are people having babies anymore. And we talk about what's happening, what it means to our kids, and what's causing it. And finally, Brendan Carr joins me. He is the chairman of the FCC.
It's funny because everybody is angry on all sides about what's going on. But when you hear what actually happened with Stephen Colbert, did you know that the FCC wasn't involved in that at all? We talk to him about that, what he's actually trying to do, what the law is actually saying. And once you hear it from the horse's mouth, then form an opinion.
Chapter 3: How does Buck Sexton explain the impact of leftist propaganda?
All of that and so much more on today's podcast. There is a difference between making money and keeping it. A lot of people work hard. They budget. They try to be responsible. Yet every month you feel like money is leaking through your fingers with the interest payments and the debt that never really shrinks. That's not necessarily a spending problem. It could be a structure problem.
If your mortgage isn't aligned with your current financial reality, if you're carrying high interest credit card balances while sitting on equity, You could be working harder, much harder than you need to, and that's where American financing can make a real difference.
Their salaried in-house loan consultants take the time to look at the whole picture and walk you through the options that may help you lower your monthly payment, consolidate debt, or restructure your loans so it actually works for you. It's not about a quick gimmick or a quick fix. It's about making sure the money you've already earned isn't quietly working against you.
If you have problems with your financing, you just need some help, you need somebody, just a fresh set of eyes to look at it, no obligation, contact AmericanFinancing.net, AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440. Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day.
Chapter 4: What are the potential causes of global birth rate decline?

Chapter 5: What insights does Brendan Carr provide about the FCC's role in media?
Nearly 6 in 10 Americans, 59%, disagree with President Trump that Republicans should take over the voting in 15 states in order to nationalize the 2026 midterm elections. 19% say they would favor the idea. I'm, I'm with the six and 10. I don't think we should do that. I don't want to nationalize it. That's only going to lead to trouble.
And that is not, uh, what the, uh, constitution says it's got to be run by the state. The federal government needs to oversee it. That's also in the constitution, but I don't like nationalizing elections. Um, asked who is more likely to rig November's midterm elections. How do you think that goes? 44% say the Republicans, 33% say the Democrats. 11 point margin. Wait, it gets worse.
Far more Americans disagree 50% than agree 34% with the statement, Democrats bring undocumented immigrants to our country to vote and help them vote illegally. Republicans agree 73% rather than disagree 11%. Americans are more divided over the question whether fraudulent voting by undocumented immigrants is rare and it does not influence the outcome of elections. 42% agree.
36% say it is common and it does influence the outcome of elections. And then they split right down the middle when asked the same question about fraudulent voting, mail-in voting. 40% to 40%. Far more Americans say they would favor 62% than oppose 23% requiring proof of citizenship. The number is 62 now. usually in the form of a passport or a birth certificate in order to register to vote.
Nearly all Republicans, 89% favor the idea. Democrats are divided. 39% now in favor, 45% opposed. That is completely different than what we have been seeing. Making it harder to vote by mail, 46% oppose, 38% favor. Making it harder to vote early in person, 57% oppose, 21% favor. Banning or cutting back on mail-in ballot drop boxes, 42% oppose.
Shortening the early or absentee voting period, 41% oppose. I don't believe this. I just don't believe this. I find this really hard to believe. But if those numbers are true, you're going to see this is what they're going to go after if they try to drag this vote out. this is what they're going to go after.
They're going to go after, you know, the Republicans are rigging it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So far, that's not working. If this is true, maybe it is working, but I don't, this just doesn't feel right to me because it's too much of a swing. But, god only knows, America changes on a dime. Now, John Cornyn is warning that there is going to be a GOP massacre. John Cornyn, of all people.
A GOP massacre if Texas votes for Ken Paxton as the AG. He wins the primary, he says it's going to be a massacre. Okay, I'm not listening to you, John Cornyn. I'm not listening to you. You are the reason the GOP is going to be massacred all over the country. Not Ken Paxton. Now, that's a separate issue. Maybe, maybe not.
But I'm not listening to John Cornyn tell me anything about what the Republicans can do because it's people like John Cornyn that has gotten the Republican Party where it is. Remember, Donald Trump is not a Republican. He's not a Republican. He is a guy who's turning the tables over. He's not going with Republican policies.

Chapter 6: Why are birth rates declining in countries like South Korea?
I don't want to change this filibuster. I want the filibuster to go back the way it was with, you know, Jimmy Stewart and Mr. Smith goes to Y. That's what this is. That's what this is. And either you don't understand Senate history, which is unacceptable, or you do understand it and you're choosing comfort over confrontation. Both are failures.
Meanwhile, what do the voters who want to vote Republican see? Republicans joining Democrats on bloated appropriations. Millions for gender transition clinics while you're telling us you're against it. Billions for refugee resettlement. A refusal to strip pork. Votes to protect activist judicial judges. Votes to protect agencies that Americans now see as ideological enforcement arms.
And then, of course, we get the speeches on fiscal discipline. You think the voters are stupid. They're not stupid. And they're growing pissed. They see the stall tactics. They know what it is. They see the spending. They know what it is. They see members who are more afraid of a nasty op-ed in the stupid Washington Post than a primary challenger back at home.
And here's the fatal miscalculation, John Cornyn, and all you like him. Republican voters are done being managed.
Chapter 7: What societal changes are contributing to lower birth rates?
They're done being told to wait. They're done being told, well, now is not the time. When is the time? We're done watching the left use power ruthlessly while we don't even want to use anything that's legal. If Republicans lose the majority, you are going to be blamed by the left for extremism. If you lose your base, you're going to be blamed by constitutional conservatives for cowardice.
Go ahead, cowards. When you're blamed by both the left and the right, history tends to be a little unkind to you. This is bigger than one bill. This is truly about whether the Republican Party still believes it's an instrument of constitutional government or just a speed bump in front of progressive expansion. Trump has done all of your heavy lifting. He's taken the hits. He's reset the board.
Now the question for you is simple. What did you do other than protect procedure, other than protect comfort, other than protect incumbency? It's not too late, but I'm telling you the clock is ticking.
Chapter 8: How does the FCC's equal time rule affect political broadcasting?
There's time before November. Reconciliation exists. Talking filibusters can be enforced. Spendings can still be cut. The SAVE Act can be forced to the floor, and you can win, but that requires energy, backbone. It requires senators who are willing to sweat on the floor instead of sweat in the green room explaining why nothing can be done. Because here's the reality.
If you as a Republican, if you keep running out the clock, you're not going to just lose the chamber. You're going to lose your primaries. You're going to fracture your party. And in the vacuum created by inaction, something far worse always grows. History teaches us when institutions refuse to act while the public loses faith, republics don't stabilize, they destabilize.
And this time, if it collapses, nobody's going to believe it was an accident. They will say to you, you had the House, you had the Senate, you had the presidency, you had the mandate, and you chose alibis over action. Finish the damn job, or I warn you, history will finish it for you. Let me tell you about the Berna launcher. Let me paint a picture for you.
It's Saturday afternoon, youth soccer game, dozens of parents lined up, you know, along the sidelines, you know, they got chairs and coffee cups and, you know, everybody's trying to pretend they're, they're not more competitive than their kids. Everything is normal, right? Until two dads, two dads decide, you know, it is in fact the world cup and voices rise and shoulders square.
And one of them takes a step forward, a little too aggressive. And now you got a crowd, you got kids watching.
situation escalating faster than it should here's a thing moments like this can get out of hand and go from that to life and death at a drop of a hat it starts out sometimes as ego as heat and somebody who doesn't know how to back down and that is the situation to where you know you do not want to get involved uh but if it starts to really get out of hand you you have a burna launcher
