The biggest threat to America's future doesn't come from China, Iran, or Russia, but from within our own borders. Far-left paramilitary forces led by Antifa threaten to pull our nation apart and drive America into civil war unless they're stopped. This isn't a fluke; it's part of a century-old playbook born out of the Soviet Union's struggle for control of 1930s Germany. Join host Hayden Ludwig and Center for Security Policy (https...

Women have not been given true informed consent for the most common abortion method, the chemical abortion pill. The risk to women of experiencing serious or adverse effects, beyond the life of their child being taken, is about 22 times higher than the FDA claims. Planned Parenthood misleads women even further, calling the drug “safer than Tylenol” on their website. As a Senior Investigative Researcher for Restoration News, Saman...

The future belongs to America's children. No one knows this better than the leftists and social engineers who built our nation's public school system a century ago with the goal of capturing control of future generations of young people, and turning them against the principles that forged America. That project is at last coming to a close. Join host Hayden Ludwig and Restoration News Senior Investigative Researcher Victoria Manning...

Imagine a campaign that never ends, even after election day comes and goes. It’s called the permanent campaign, and it’s the secret weapon the Left has, and the Right needs to have, to win.
