    Tomi Lahren: “I really wanted to challenge and I wanted to inform…start a dialogue”

    Tomi Lahren currently serves as host of FOX Nation's daily programs First Thoughts and Final Thoughts. On First Thoughts (9:30AM/ET) Tomi delivers her opinion on the latest news in politics and pop culture. Following, her signature Final Thoughts (6PM/ET) recaps her views on the day's top stories. In addition to her role on FOX Nation, Lahren is a contributor for FNC, offering political commentary across the network's opinion programming, primarily on Hannity and FOX & Friends. Lahren joined the network in August 2017. In this episode Tomi explains her perspective on starting a dialogue and engaging people with a different point of view. This is especially evident from her early days in college when she would challenge her liberal professors and express that she had a different point of view without being confrontational. "But I really wanted to challenge and I wanted to inform or at least provide a perspective and start a dialogue. And I don't think that you can necessarily always do that when you just stay in your group. I would much rather speak to a group that disagrees with me to this day I would rather be challenged than just sit there and say the same thing back to someone who is mirroring my views." Plus, we'll learn more about her new book "Never Play Dead: How the Truth Makes You Unstoppable" (available July 2nd), the audience's reaction to her on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and what led to her show being suspended on The Blaze.

    Linda McMahon on handling the 24/7 news cycle, Running the SBA, and President Trump

    American businesswoman and Former pro wrestling executive, Linda McMahon, resigned in March 2019 from her President Trump appointed position as Administrator of the Small Business Association and is now the Chairman of America First Action, a pro-Trump Super PAC. In 2009 McMahon left the WWE to run as a Republican for the United States Senate in Connecticut. While campaigning for the position a local reporter asked her what the hardest part of running was and she responded with a concise critique of what is wrong with the media today. "The most difficult thing is that while I'm sitting here talking to you today, something could be happening somewhere in the world. I can walk out of this door, I can be confronted by one of your reporters, and ask for my opinion on it. If I don't have an opinion, I'm stupid. If I haven't heard about it, I'm ill-informed. But, if I make a statement, and then as I learn more about it, want to change or enhance what I've said now, I'm a flip-flopper. So, it's incredibly difficult to run, and to have a ready answer at all times with the 24-hour news cycle." Linda McMahon also speaks candidly about her working relationship with President Trump, and her mission when leading the Small Business Association. It's a fascinating and enlightening conversation that you don't want to miss. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Google, TuneIn, or Stitcher. Learn more about your ad choices.

"As Charles Kesler wrote a couple of years ago, you know, Trump in a way is returning the Republican Party to its roots. You know, in the 1980s the Republican Party was sort of pro-assimilationist on immigration. It kind of closed borders, pro tariff to look after American workers and and slightly more modest."

He has had an incredible career as a Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland, an author of several books, and presidential candidate in the Republican primaries in 2016 prior to joining President Trump's cabinet.

And I realized that if you can get a young person reading at grade level by third grade it changes the trajectory of their life." "I was interested in medicine even when I was a terrible student. I used to listen to the mission stories in church and Sabbath school they frequently featured missionary doctors who seemed to me to be like the most noble people of the earth. And that's what I wanted to do. And you know it changed over time from missionary doctor to psychiatry. So the doctor thing was quite early on. Listen to his fascinating political origin story as he explains how he navigated his journey from a self-proclaimed liberal democrat to running for president as a Republican nominee.
