    I am thrilled to announce that I am joined by Vivek Ramaswamy, former GOP Presidential candidate and my good friend. Vivek’s new book, “Truth’s: The Future of America First”, dissects exactly what the conservative movement stands for, and how conservatives can further grow the Republican Party by gracefully articulating exactly what the party stands for, and championing authentic conversation and debate with the left.

    Author Michele Steeb joins us today to discuss the growing epidemic of homelessness that is destroying our neighborhoods, our cities, people’s lives, and future generations. Steeb wrote the book titled: “Answers Behind the Red Door, Battling the Homeless Epidemic”, which is a powerful insight into the policies that have contributed to the mass increase of homeless citizens in America.

    Why Fear-Mongering is the Left’s Latest Tactic with Tammy Bruce

    Author and Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce joins us to discuss her latest book called “Fear Itself, Exposing the Left's Mind Killing Agenda”. Her message is very simple and it is that many problems and anxiety we're facing both politically and culturally in America are a result of the Left's latest tactic: Fear-mongering. From global warming and COVID, to what's happening in academia and media, the Left has weaponized fear to a point where it has become a chronic dynamic that hurts all of us. Lastly, we talk about the only solution: a return to courage, which we can accomplish once we recognize that we are consistently being gaslighted.
