Steve sits down with Ivey Gruber, President of Michigan Talk Network, to break down the Minneapolis shooting and how refusing to comply with lawful orders can lead to deadly outcomes. The conversation expands to a deeper cultural issue, kids today lacking discipline, accountability, and consequences. Steve and Ivey argue these problems start at home, spill into the classroom, and are only made worse by technology and social media.

Thursday Jan 08, 2026
Thursday Jan 08, 2026
Fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—
Number One— Billionaires are bailing out of California ahead of the push for a proposed wealth tax in the state—it seems those that have that kind of money can get a moving company lined up pretty easy—
Number Two— Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says time is up for California—and he is withholding $160 Million dollars because the state keeps issuing illegal aliens commercial drivers licenses—
Number Three— The state of Minnesota has become the focal point of Democratic policy failures—a place where the Somalian Community has stolen literally billions of dollars from the taxpayers—while Democrat politicians turned a blind eye—because it was good for them politically—and maybe financially too—

Thursday Jan 08, 2026
Thursday Jan 08, 2026
Joshua Philipp, senior investigative journalist for The Epoch Times, joins Steve to break down why Venezuela is the tip of a dangerous geopolitical iceberg. The capture of Nicolás Maduro exposed a narco-state fueled by oil, cocaine, communism, and foreign adversaries using chaos as a weapon. That same contempt for the rule of law is now echoing at home, from the Minnesota shooting to the reckless and legally questionable rhetoric of Governor Tim Walz suggesting the National Guard could confront federal agents.
