šļø We break down how Democrats, activist groups, and legacy media work together to turn massive government fraud into street unrest and false narratives. We walk through the ICE enforcement at the center of the controversy, the viral clips being deliberately misrepresented online, and the way language like ālegal observerā is used to confuse the public and protect bad actors.
ā” From there, we examine how the media and Democrat...

šļø We dig into the Minneapolis ICE shooting video thatās lighting up social media, focusing on what the footage shows: officers identify themselves, a āget out of the carā command, the vehicle surging forward, and shots fired as an officer is put in immediate danger. We talk about how the clips are getting spun into a partisan Rorschach testāand why Minnesotaās leadership jumps straight to blaming the feds instead of dealing with ...

šļø We walk through the Maduro capture and why it matters that the U.S. can go in, grab the guy, and get outāclean. We talk through the stakes in the region, the role of adversaries in propping up a failed-state mess, and why the oil angle is less about āneeding itā and more about who gets to control it in our own hemisphere.
š« Then, the democrats trip over themselves to pretend they never spent years saying Maduro had to go, o...

šļø We review the year that was 2025, counting down the greatest media failures of last year. To top the list, Sydney Sweeneyās jeans ad. A basic pun about āgenesā turns into a prime-time lecture about eugenics and white supremacy, and watching a major network try to make that argument out loud is the kind of thing you still canāt believe is real. Then over to CBS, where John Dickerson tries to compare modern immigration enforcemen...

šļø We start by trading stories about the funniest reactions our wives have had to the Progrum, including the moment it dawned on them that this thing might actually be real. From late-night editing side-eyes to the infamous āso you have groupies now?ā Uber ride, the fellas compare notes on how humility is enforced at home, no matter how big the show gets.

šļø The fellas should open a daycareābecause apparently the easiest money in America is getting paid for childcare that doesnāt exist. Nick Shirleyās goes door-to-door in Minnesota: finding blacked-out windows, locked doors, no kids in sight, and big checks flowing anyway. We talk about how this kind of scheme doesnāt just rip off taxpayersāit also squeezes the real families. Itās embarrassing how local and national press frames th...

šļø Get ready for a whole stack of holiday-flavored chaos. We start with the most deranged āideology in bakingā moment imaginable: a decolonized Christmas cookie pitch that tries to rewrite history through masa, honey, and pure self-seriousness. From there, weāre right into the spirit of the season: the stuff thatās supposed to be wholesome, until it isnāt.

šļø We kick off our Christmas Day Q&A by answering the burning questions from the audience. We talk through how our careers actually started, how campaign instincts and comms muscle turn into real-world wins, and why the Progrum isnāt just āfour guys with microphones,ā but four guys whoāve lived the jobs we talk about.
ā” Then, how the sausage gets made: how messages spread, why creativity beats policy-speak, and how the right ph...

šļø Another democrat political fairy tale collapses in real time. We start with Ilhan Omarās claim that ICE pulled over her son, then walk through how DHS says it never happened, how the story keeps shifting, and why the media still gives it oxygen. We discuss why this keeps happening and why Minnesota keeps finding itself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

šļø We break down why ājust asking questionsā turns into an incentive structure for inventing madness. We discuss what this kind of content does to real people who are living through real grief, and the influencers online who are trying to cash in on Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk and the fight with Candace Owens.
ā” Then we pivot to a brutal week of terror news and the political responses that make our blood boil. We run through the ...

šļø The fellas discuss how billions in COVID-era funding vanished through fraud in Minnesota. We walk through how the slush funds were set up, why there was almost no oversight, and how state leadership dodged responsibility while taxpayers got fleeced. We also break down the absurd defenses that Tim Walz continues to offer up. This was not some paperwork errorāit was an invitation to steal.

šļø The latest democrat hoax has fallen apart. The drug boat āscandalā seems to be a big nothingburger. Democrats instantly shifted into defending traffickers once the hoax fell apart. After that, we break down the even stranger week on MSNBC, where Morning Joe skipped town for so long that even their audience noticed. As we looked around for them, it felt like half the media went into witness-protection mode the second their earli...

šļø There is absolute rot at the core of the Democratic Party, especially their constant need to defend criminals. We start with Senator Reed's baffling attempt to defend narco-traffickers, trying to paint them as mere "delivery drivers" in a discussion about supply and demand. We followed that with the unbelievably unhinged rhetoric from Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

We all agree the movies just aren't what they used to beāyou can't find a good, simple action flick or comedy anymore. Holmes points out how the shift happened during the Obama years, moving toward terrible, non-English, anti-American award bait.
