    AMERICA EMBOLDENED: Climate Science Reexamined: Data, Pressure, and the Greenhouse Theory with Dr. Ned Nikolov

    Tonight on America Emboldened, we welcome back physicist and climate researcher Dr. Ned Nikolov for an in-depth discussion on climate science, atmospheric physics, and the data driving today’s climate debate. Dr. Nikolov, known for his collaborative research on planetary temperatures and atmospheric pressure dynamics, presents findings based on NASA satellite observations and comparative planetary analysis. His work challenges prevailing assumptions surrounding the traditional greenhouse gas narrative and proposes an alternative framework for understanding long-term planetary temperature regulation. This conversation explores: • The role of atmospheric pressure across rocky planets• NASA CERES satellite radiation data• Changes in Earth’s albedo and absorbed solar radiation• The interpretation of IPCC findings• Broader implications for climate modeling and policy This episode focuses on examining scientific data, model interpretation, and ongoing debate within the scientific community. We encourage viewers to approach the discussion thoughtfully and engage directly with the research referenced throughout the program.

    BE BOLD WITH BOULDEN: A Minnesota Reflection On Societal Issues

    This is a conversation about division, not as a sudden rupture, but as a slow erosion. We unpack how certainty replaced curiosity, how narratives overtook facts, and how emotional manipulation hardened into tribal loyalty. From the Patriot Act to social media echo chambers, from COVID-era fear to modern media incentives, this episode connects the dots on how good intentions can still lead to damaging outcomes. We apply these principles to real events, including recent developments in Minnesota and the killing of Alex Pretti. Without rushing to verdicts, we examine what is known, what remains disputed, and why process, restraint, and transparency matter more than labels. The discussion explores both institutional responsibility and citizen responsibility, including a clear-eyed look at what concealed carry actually demands of those who choose to exercise that right. We also confront double standards in political scrutiny, using immigration enforcement across multiple administrations to show how outrage and accountability often shift depending on who holds power. The episode breaks down how legacy media, social media algorithms, and confirmation bias reinforce these inconsistencies and deepen mistrust. Finally, we address the question many people are asking quietly: Are we heading toward civil war? The answer is more nuanced than the headlines suggest. While polarization is real and dangerous, the greater threat may be something slower and less visible, the corrosion of trust, standards, and self-restraint. This episode is not about assigning blame. It is about challenging ourselves before blaming each other. It is a call for consistency, humility, and judgment in a time when outrage is rewarded and reflection feels rare. If division is the problem, this conversation argues that the solution starts closer to home than most of us would like to admit.

    THE CHRIS MICHAELS SHOW: How Public Education Lost the Plot with Journalist Chris Papst

    Chris Michaels sits down with national Emmy Award–winning investigative reporter Chris Papst of WBFF Fox 45 Baltimore to confront an uncomfortable truth about public education in America. For nearly a decade, Papst has led Project Baltimore, an exhaustive investigation into Baltimore City Public Schools — a system with a $1.7 billion annual budget, yet only 10% of students proficient in math and graduation rates that remain stagnant despite massive funding increases. His findings, documented in his bestselling book Failure Factory, reveal a system driven not by student success, but by data manipulation, administrative expansion, and the relentless pursuit of funding. In this conversation, Papst breaks down: How graduation rates can stay high while academic proficiency collapses Why hundreds of millions in new funding never reached classrooms The quiet explosion of administrative salaries and executive perks How discipline data, safety reports, and academic outcomes are manipulated The unintended consequences of federal directives on suspensions and arrests Why teachers are leaving the profession in record numbers How underprepared students are pushed into college debt they may never escape Papst also explains why Baltimore may represent the end stage of a failing public school system, and why what’s happening there is spreading nationwide. He offers concrete warning signs parents and taxpayers should look for in their own districts — and what real accountability would actually look like. This is not a partisan conversation. It’s a data-driven, ground-level examination of a system that educates 90% of America’s children — and what happens when it stops prioritizing learning. If you care about education, taxes, public accountability, or the future of the country, this is a conversation you can’t afford to ignore.

    RECLAIMED GROUND: 2026 Legislation Agenda Revealed

    In this episode of Reclaimed Ground, the hosts return after a brief break to unpack the start of Delaware’s legislative session and the real-world impact of bills already moving through Dover. The conversation begins with rising energy costs, Delmarva Power bills, and how green energy mandates and grid modernization have contributed to financial strain on families, seniors, and small businesses. The panel discusses legislation that would roll back or reduce green energy mandates, why some bills never make it out of committee, and how committee chairs control what the public ever gets to hear. From there, the episode walks through several key pieces of legislation, including: A proposed constitutional amendment to limit state spending, tying government growth to population and economic growth rather than unchecked expansion Bills aimed at tax relief for families, including increased child tax credits Legislation addressing school district tax increases following reassessment and efforts to stop automatic 10% increases without demonstrated need A proposal to eliminate state taxes on overtime pay, and how taxing overtime punishes productivity Concerns over income tax increases on small business owners and how LLCs and pass-through taxation already burden entrepreneurs The discussion also explores more complex and controversial bills, including: Retroactive civil claims for child sexual abuse, weighing justice for victims against due process and precedent A state-run diabetes wellness pilot program, questioning government involvement in healthcare and personal medical decisions AI and professional title legislation, debating innovation, personal responsibility, and access to information Bills affecting immigration enforcement, cooperation with federal agencies, and the balance between compassion, public safety, and constitutional authority Proposed “Bills of Rights” for specific groups, including teachers and the homeless, and whether creating special legal classes undermines equal protection under the law Throughout the episode, the hosts examine how well-intended legislation can produce unintended consequences, how government power expands quietly through spending and regulation, and why transparency, accountability, and constitutional limits matter at the state level. This episode is a deep dive into what Delaware lawmakers are debating right now, why it matters, and how everyday residents may feel the effects long before they ever see the results.

    THE CHRIS MICHAELS SHOW: Interview with Dr. Owen Anderson

    In this episode, Chris Michaels sits down with Dr. Owen Anderson, a tenured Christian philosopher whose work focuses on natural theology, ethics, and the foundations of truth. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Anderson explores how philosophical reasoning intersects with modern culture, particularly where questions of truth, morality, marriage, and the role of the state collide. The discussion examines tensions between Christian philosophical traditions and contemporary secular assumptions, and how those tensions play out in everyday life and public discourse. Rather than debating personalities or politics, this episode centers on first principles: how we define truth, why moral frameworks matter, and what happens when societies abandon shared foundations. The conversation is thoughtful, measured, and aimed at helping listeners better understand the deeper philosophical roots beneath today’s cultural conflicts. This is a reflective dialogue for listeners interested in faith, philosophy, ethics, and cultural analysis, and for anyone asking not just what is happening in society, but why.

    BE BOLD WITH BOULDEN: Maduro with Nuance

    In this episode of Be Bold with Boulden, Greg Boulden returns to the mic to break down one of the most shocking geopolitical events in recent memory. The United States captures Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and brings him to New York to face federal charges. Supporters cheer. Critics warn. Most people miss the nuance. Greg slows the conversation down and asks the harder questions. Was this constitutional? Was it legal under international law? What happens when one country claims the authority to remove another nation’s leader by force? And what precedent does that set for the future? Drawing from U.S. history, constitutional law, war powers, and past interventions like Panama, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, this episode challenges listeners to look beyond partisan talking points. Greg makes it clear that condemning a dictator does not mean abandoning scrutiny of power. This is not a defense of Maduro. It is a defense of constitutional clarity, consistent standards, and informed citizenship. If you want more than headlines, more than slogans, and more than blind loyalty to any administration, this episode is for you. Be bold. Question power. And listen with nuance.
