Chinese indicted for price-fixing; The end of Pax Americana? | Hour 2

5/22/2026
This episode is presented by Create A Video – Seven Chinese nationals and four Chinese companies have been indicted by the US Department of Justice for price-fixing during the pandemic.

Plus, is Pax Americana ending? It doesn't have to. And that just might explain why President Trump is doing what he's doing on the international stage.

Democrats' "autopsy" of 2024 loss is AWESOME!! | Hour 1

5/22/2026
This episode is presented by Create A Video – The Democratic National Committee finally released the 2024 election analysis amid pressure from their party members. It focuses on organizing, advertising, spending, operations, messaging, and tech. But it never once discusses the cognitive decline (and cover-up) of Joe Biden, the annointing of Kamala Harris or her poor campaigning skills. It also ignores the increasingly radical and unpopular policies espoused by the national party. I hope they learn absolutely nothing from their loss!

This episode is presented by Create A Video – There is a lot of anger inside the Republican Party over Congressman Thomas Massie's loss in his Kentucky primary yesterday. But it seems like a lot of people have not accepted that the GOP is Trump's party. And challenging his agenda too often will get you targeted for defeat and replaced with another Republican.

Leftist cable host beclowns herself in attempted takedown of House Speaker | Hour 1

5/19/2026
This episode is presented by Create A Video – A host on MSNOW (formerly MSNBC) teed up a question to one of her guests in an attempt to lead him to a "Christian Nationalist" hot take, but ended up showing her utter ignorance about the Declaration of Independence. Apparently, Katy Tur doesn't know that the Declaration states we are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights. That those rights flow from God, not government. But if she's worried about rhetoric influencing people to behave badly, there are a bunch of examples in the news. Like the apologia from the Left as articulated by the Luigi Mangioni fangirls.
