John Tamny, author of Deficit Delusion, editor of RealClearMarkets, and president of the Parkview Institute, joins Steve to challenge one of Washington’s most sacred assumptions, that the Federal Reserve “steers” the U.S. economy. Tamny explains why real economic growth has always come from entrepreneurs, capital formation, and market signals, not central bankers, and why both the Left and Right fundamentally misunderstand national debt, deficits, and monetary policy. If the Fed isn’t in control, what really powers growth, and what does that mean for America’s economic future?

Dr. James Thorp, MD, Chief of Maternal & Prenatal Health at The Wellness Company, joins Steve to break down the latest surge of the so-called “tripledemic": flu, RSV, and COVID, now hitting millions of Americans nationwide. With hospitalizations spiking in places like New York, Dr. Thorp explains why these viruses spread so aggressively during winter, whether the surge is likely to worsen, and what families can do right now to protect themselves. He also discusses prevention tools, early treatment strategies, and how Americans can be better prepared if illness strikes.

Fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—

 

Number One— In the wake of all that fraud being exposed in Minnesota—the FBI at the direction of Kash Patel is surging resources there—Nick Shirley the You Toober may have the most to do with it—

 

Number Two— In Indiana—the Governor Mike Braun says he knows how to cut the waste, fraud and abuse being seen in Minnesota—seems maybe he can give lessons to the hapless Minnesota Democrats—

 

Number Three— How about a look forward to some things we will be seeing in the coming year?

Steve talks with Gary Benoit, editor-in-chief of The New American and author of Vanguard of the Americanist Cause, about a controversy out of Vermont, where a Somali flag was raised over a public school district, igniting backlash and serious questions about national identity, assimilation, and who sets the cultural tone in America’s classrooms. Benoit explains why symbols matter, how local decisions can reflect broader ideological shifts, and why Americans should be paying close attention to what’s happening in their schools before it spreads nationwide

Steve sits down with Hans A. von Spakovsky, national legal expert, to unpack a fascinating and controversial development in Washington, D.C.: how a local advocacy group known as “Free DC” has emerged as a prominent face of anti-Trump resistance in the nation’s capital, pushing back against federal involvement in local affairs under President Trump’s second term. Von Spakovsky offers his legal perspective on what this movement represents, how grassroots political activism interacts with federal authority and the rule of law, and why understanding groups like Free DC matters to every American watching national politics unfold.

Steve sits down with Michael Pack, director and producer of The Last 600 Meters and president of Manifold Productions and Palladium Pictures, to discuss reports that President Trump ordered U.S. strikes against ISIS targets in Nigeria following brutal attacks on Christians. Pack explains why the persecution of Christians overseas often goes ignored, what decisive leadership looks like in the face of terrorism, and why America’s willingness to confront evil still matters. As Trump warns there will be “hell to pay” for ISIS fighters targeting innocent believers, this conversation focuses on faith, national security, and the moral responsibility to defend the defenseless.

Steve sits down with State Representative James DeSana (R-Carleton) of Michigan’s 29th District to discuss the launch of the Michigan DOGE Task Force Initiative, a new, legislator-led effort aimed at cutting waste, boosting transparency, and restoring accountability in state government. Chaired by DeSana, the task force will focus on identifying inefficiencies, reducing bureaucracy, and making sure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. DeSana explains why Michiganders are demanding better results from Lansing, how this homegrown initiative differs from national efforts, and why putting the public back in charge is key to rebuilding trust in government.

Steve sits down with Jason Hayes, Director of Energy and Environment at the America First Policy Institute, to expose how state agency overreach is harming Michigan’s farms, small businesses, and job creators. Hayes breaks down how unelected bureaucrats are using environmental and energy regulations to bypass lawmakers, drive up costs, and make it harder for families to farm, build, and grow businesses in the Great Lakes State. It’s a clear-eyed conversation about accountability, local control, and restoring common sense to policies that should serve the people, not suffocate them.

Lots of work to do—let’s get to it—Here are 3 big things for this hour—

 

Number One— The price of gas is the lowest it has been in years—and this is the time of year it usually jumps—but this Christmas travel season—good news for drivers as the price continues to fall—

 

Number Two— Big news in the trial of accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson—as the defense is asking for the entire prosecution team to get tossed out over a conflict of interest—

 

Number Three— The Epstein Files were all the Democrats could talk about for weeks—well now they are out—and the person seen the most is one of their own—former President Bill Clinton—and they are trying to ignore it—

Steve sits down with Ambassador Francis Rooney, who served as United States Ambassador to the Holy See after being appointed by President George W. Bush, for a fascinating conversation on faith, diplomacy, and history. Drawing from his book The Global Vatican, Rooney explains the unique role the Vatican plays on the world stage and what it means for the United States to now have America’s first Pope. It’s a thoughtful discussion on moral leadership, global influence, and why the relationship between America and the Holy See matters now more than ever.

Steve sits down with Nick Hopwood, CFP, founder and president of Peak Wealth Management, for another edition of No Lazy Money,  focused on discipline, planning, and real-world investing. They look back at Cisco finally hitting a new high more than 25 years after 2000, what the lost decade taught investors, and where money actually worked when the S&P 500 went nowhere. Hopwood also lays out what investors should do if the market drops 10% or more in 2026, weighs in on Ray Dalio joining Michael Dell, and delivers a critical reminder: this is the last call for 2025 tax planning, including QCDs, donor-advised funds, tax-loss harvesting, and Roth conversions.

Fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—

 

Number One— Off shore wind projects are getting cancelled by the Trump Administration—and the 5 huge east coast projects could be replaced by just one natural gas pipeline—and cover the same output—

 

Number Two— Fulton County Georgia is now admitting—it counted 315,000 illegal votes in 2020—which means Jon Ossoff was never legally elected Senator—and Donald Trump certainly won the state in the Presidential race too—

 

Number Three— The spreading scandal of massive fraud in Minnesota keeps creating new problems for Governor Tim Walz—and frankly other Democrat Governors in other states too—because it’s not just a Democrat problem—it’s a mass immigration turn your head the other way problem—
