  1. Lt. Col. (Ret.) Anthony Costanza: The Irondequoit Standard

    Lt. Col. (Ret.) Anthony Costanza: The Irondequoit Standard

    The moment demanded backbone, and Lt. Col. (Ret.) Anthony Costanza brought it. An immigrant son who wore the uniform, led in Special Operations, earned a TS/SCI, chose custody of his child over another promotion, and now walks the legal K-1 visa path with his fiancée because law and order are not suggestions. That is the standard. The record, clean and cold: no grand-jury indictment. A former DA filed a prosecutor’s information. The grand jury did not indict. His counsel issued a cease-and-desist. A motion to dismiss was filed on July 29. Words matter because lies travel on headlines and ruin men by design. He put the assessor’s office under the same light he puts on himself. Independent third-party appraisals for his own property to remove discretion. Later appraisals showed it was overvalued by about $30,000. In six weeks he delivered a 30-page report showing how lower and middle-income families were overassessed while high-end properties slid. Then he cut the department budget by 11%. Stewardship is not a slogan. It is work. He pledged a 10% pay cut as supervisor because reform starts at the top. He demanded FOIL responses instead of stonewalling. On safety, he refused theatrics: listen to subject-matter experts, enforce the law equally, and keep families safe. On governance, he rejected the whisper network that strangles small business and tells citizens to wait their turn while permits gather dust. Irondequoit is diverse, heavily taxed, and tired of curated outrage. Costanza is on the doors in 14609 and across the town because trust is earned face to face, not in press releases. Debate challenges are open. Adults face questions. Keyboard warriors do not run communities. One line from the show said the quiet part out loud: “Nowadays, exposing evil is considered more evil than those who actually do evil.” If that unsettles you, good. Conscience confirmed. Listen. Share. Then demand what you would teach your own children: truth before comfort, service before self, and equal justice without exceptions. That is how a town regains its integrity. That is how a nation remembers who it is.

  2. Truth vs. Control: The Battle for America’s Soul.

    4D AGO

    Truth vs. Control: The Battle for America’s Soul.

    New York is not suffering from a lack of programs. It is suffering from a lack of courage. Today’s episode walks straight into the storm: Columbus Day revisionism, media gaslighting, Middle East reality, New York’s policy theater, and the quiet crisis on our streets. We open with first principles. History is not a prop, and faith is not a punchline. While the professional outrage machine demands we “unlearn” the West, we remember that civilizations are judged by what they build and what they defend. The U.S. Navy’s birthday is a reminder that strength preserves peace, not hashtags. Our featured guest, Craig Bannister, Managing Editor at CNSNews (Media Research Center), steps into the watchtower with receipts. He explains how bias works now—not only by twisting stories, but by burying them entirely. When threats against conservatives are ignored and violent plots receive a media yawn, it is not an accident. It is an algorithm. It is power protecting itself. Craig’s bottom line is simple: document, count, expose. We contrast selective “peace” narratives with hard facts. Remember the Nobel talk while bombs fell and the press nodded along? Compare that to policies that actually deter bad actors and free hostages—then watch the same press refuse to give credit. Results matter more than vibes, and grown adults know the difference. Closer to home, we call out Albany’s magic tricks. Executive orders that never end. Unemployment hikes that pay people to stay sidelined. Program after program while the homeless count hits decade highs and families live on the margins. If you keep people dependent, you keep them quiet. That is not compassion. That is control. Culture gets the same treatment. From campus slogans to halftime marketing stunts, the message is clear: sit down, swallow the narrative, and learn the new language of compliance. No, thank you. Free citizens do not outsource truth to influencers or bureaucrats. Quote of the day: “When truth becomes a threat, lies become laws.” That is the line in the sand. This episode is not for people who want to be managed. It is for people who want to be free—people who can hold faith, politics, and enterprise in balance, and who still believe parents should raise children, men and women are real, borders mean something, and media should tell the truth even when it hurts their team. Listen in. Bring your spine. Then take your next step.

    Standing Tall in the Fire: Defying the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis

    Under the hot lights in Butler, Pennsylvania, a man stood where most would have ducked. The shots came. Panic surged. Matt Coday, President and Founder of the Oil & Gas Workers Association, did what real men do — he moved toward the danger. Not because it was easy, but because political violence has no place in a civilized nation. “We are at war for the soul of this nation,” he told us, and every word carried the weight of truth. This episode of The Next Steps Show is not a chat — it is a confrontation with reality. It is about work that restores dignity, energy that fuels freedom, and a people who refuse to be ruled by fear or fooled by the manufactured chaos of modern politics. While bureaucrats sell fantasy and call it progress, Americans are staring at power bills that rival car payments and politicians who talk “equity” while destroying opportunity. Matt Coday reminded us that energy security is national security — that real jobs, in real industries, build the foundation for strong families and sovereign communities. We pulled no punches on lawfare, propaganda, and the rot of hypocrisy coming from those who weaponize justice to protect their own power. And yes — we called out the heart of it: the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis. That engineered confusion, that spiritual and cultural sickness, keeping Americans trapped in a fog of deceit while elites preach compassion and deliver control. It is not just politics. It is the battle for truth itself. This episode is not for the faint of heart. It is for those who still believe in God, family, and country — who know that silence is complicity and comfort is the enemy of freedom. Listen. Feel it. Decide what side you are on. Because if you are tired of being managed, taxed, silenced, and shamed, then it is time to stand. Take the next step with us — and fight back against the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis.

  4. When the Keys Changed Hands: Dom Genova Drives a No-Nonsense Hour

    When the Keys Changed Hands: Dom Genova Drives a No-Nonsense Hour

    When the Keys Changed Hands The morning began with a handoff—Peter on assignment, and Dom Genova sliding into the driver’s seat of The Next Steps Show. The familiar hum of WYSL carried something different that day: not just talk, but the kind of conversation that reminds you what America used to sound like—real, direct, and grounded in gratitude. First up, broadcasting icon Don Alhart, a man whose calm voice has carried Rochester through decades of triumph and tragedy. Don spoke about service and discipline—how a few years in the Army Reserve shaped a lifetime of purpose. He talked about that fifth-grade classroom where a teacher built a fake radio booth and unknowingly built a broadcaster. It was a reminder that greatness rarely starts on a stage. It starts in small rooms where kids are taught that hard work and creativity still matter. Then came Gene Cornish, Rochester’s own Rock & Roll Hall of Famer. From It’s a Beautiful Morning to the halls of Shea Stadium, Gene’s story was pure Americana. A local boy who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Beatles, who went from playing school dances to shaping a generation’s sound. Yet what stuck wasn’t fame—it was loyalty. A man who still calls old friends, still loves his city, still lights up when talking about his father and the taste of a hometown burger. That is the kind of success worth celebrating—the kind that remembers where it came from. But the tone shifted fast. A clip rolled from Sheriff Grady Judd, the straight-talking lawman from Polk County, Florida. His voice cut through the static like a warning flare: “When you have a breakdown of the rule of law, that’s a slippery slope.” He was talking about Chicago cops ordered not to help their own. Unthinkable once—routine now. Former Monroe County Police Chiefs Association president Jim VanBrederode joined in, frustrated and blunt: politics has no business in patrol cars. Law enforcement is family. You never let family fall. It was a gut check for every listener who’s watched the headlines and wondered how far we’ve fallen. The show lightened, but never lost its edge. Talk turned to car buying, fine print, and truth in advertising. Dom’s new book—Don’t Be Taken for a Ride—is not just about dealerships; it’s about life. Read the small print. Question what you’re told. Demand honesty. America could use more of that these days. There were laughs too—“Raccoon Man” tales, ketchup debates, and gentle ribbing between old friends. But even the humor felt like home. The kind of laughter you hear in garages, diners, and back porches—where people still believe in work, faith, and country. By the end, the mics faded but the message stuck. Veterans, musicians, sheriffs, mechanics—it did not matter who took the mic. They all spoke the same truth: character counts, freedom demands backbone, and America works best when ordinary men refuse to bow to nonsense. Peter may have handed off the keys, but the engine never stopped running. This was radio the way it was meant to be—honest, human, and wide awake.

  5. Van-bōōl-zal-ness Must Fall

    6D AGO

    Van-bōōl-zal-ness Must Fall

    Under the glow of the “Curves Day” headlines, the show opened with a different curve: a question. Where did America’s courage go, and who taught us to fear our own voice? The phones flared first. Dan wondered aloud if we were all just pieces on someone else’s board. Stan came in hot, straight talk and common sense, reminding us that character does not have a skin tone. Keith traced the rot back to classrooms and cowards who let propaganda pass for education. Each caller added a brushstroke to a larger picture: a nation nudged into silence, taught to shout down ideas, and told to treat disagreement as violence. It had a name, and it rang through the hour—the Van-bōōl-zal-ness Crisis. We looked homeward. In a city that pays school boards like champions and graduates children like afterthoughts, free speech grades are failing and moral courage is graded on a curve. We looked outward. October 7 deserved our memory long after the hashtags died. We looked upward. Faith, family, and honest work are still the anchors when every current pulls against them. Midstream, a new voice joined the story. Stefan Padfield did not come to posture. He came with receipts. He described a world where corporate giants chase applause from activist scorekeepers, then hide behind procedural riddles when asked for proof that any of it serves customers, shareholders, or country. In his telling, the boardroom was not a mystery; it was a mirror. When profits kneel to politics, families pay the tithe. The numbers were not abstractions. Students self-censor. Crowds cheer the shout-down. Too many nod when someone calls speech “harm” and violence “answer.” That is not education. That is training wheels for tyranny. Through it all, one line, sharp as a bell, cut the noise: “The white liberal is more deceitful, more hypocritical than the conservative.” It was not comfort food. It was a test. Who is using you, and who is telling you the truth? By the time the music faded, the path was plain. Parents who teach grit. Entrepreneurs who build. Churches that preach truth instead of trend. Voters who start local before they talk national. New York politicians can mail “inflation checks” and call it relief. We will call it what it is. The best social program remains a job. The best defense of liberty remains you. This episode is not a rant. It is a reckoning. Listen, share, and then take your next step—in your home, your school board, your church, your business. Dialogue. Discernment. Media. One brave voice at a time is how a free people win.

  6. Rich in Programs, Poor in Purpose

    Rich in Programs, Poor in Purpose

    Faith. Family. Freedom. Purpose. Mira la izquierda, mira la derecha—what do you see? A nation rich in programs and poor in purpose, told to trade fathers for agencies and dignity for red tape. Newsflash: purpose is not a government program. We confront the quiet cruelty hiding in plain sight: a disability system that warehouses people, a culture that sidelines fatherhood, and a political class that talks race while ducking responsibility. A seven-year-old amputee left on a curb. Veterans and service dogs treated like inconveniences. A $2,000 Medicaid asset cap frozen since 1987 that traps families in dependency. That is not compassion. That is control. Chairman David Ridenour of the National Center for Public Policy Research lays out how to fix disability policy with outcomes over enrollment and work that restores dignity instead of punishing independence. Terris E. Todd of Project 21 takes aim at cultural decay, the assault on fatherhood, and the lie that government programs can replace a father’s presence or a homeowner’s pride. We choose entrepreneurship over bureaucracy. We restore fathers to the head of the table. We turn $200 billion in disability-community buying power into opportunity, not pity. And yes, we pray—because unity without truth is just noise. “We warehouse people in our disability system and we need to change that.”      — David Ridenour, National Center for Public Policy Research, October 7, 2025 “Fathers being there makes all the difference.”      — Terris E. Todd, Project 21, October 7, 2025 Be a leader. Be a voice for liberty. And for heaven’s sake—stop letting the same people who broke the system tell you they can fix it.

  7. When Power Preys: Epstein, Uber, and the War on the Voiceless

    When Power Preys: Epstein, Uber, and the War on the Voiceless

    It started with a diary and a blue butterfly, proof of horrors the powerful swore did not exist. Author Sarah McCarthy exposes the Epstein network not as scandal but as system: intelligence ties, blackmail, and experiments on the innocent, all hidden behind polished lies. Then Dr. Mark Mostert of Able Americans tears into Uber and a culture that tramples the disabled, reminding us that justice is not a slogan, it is a duty. From exploitation to indifference, the thread is the same: power without conscience. On The Next Steps Show, we rip the curtain back. Truth still matters, and it demands we act.

    Hijacked? How Politics Replaced Purpose in America’s Classrooms

    America’s classrooms have been hijacked. Despite record spending, literacy and math scores are collapsing while unions pour millions into politics instead of children. In this episode, Project 21 Ambassador Dr. Linda Lee Tarver and Project 21 Ambassador and veteran educator Priscilla Rahn expose how education has become a weapon of control rather than a tool of freedom. Peter Vazquez dissects the Vanboolzalness Crisis—where faith, family, and truth are replaced by dependence, deception, and decay.
