🎙️ Chuck Schumer's total inability to rein in the far-left is why we’re here. Democrats are now a collection of lunatics willing to throw the entire federal government into chaos. The fellas explain how the left is making completely unreasonable demands and why democrats are the ones creating a "grave emergency." This is what happens when you pander to your base instead of governing. 💥 The Progrum reviews some of the best audi...

🎙️ The progressive coalition is fracturing across media, culture, and politics and causing a total collapse on the left. The fellas examine things like Greta Thunberg’s flotilla and the colliding ideals of liberals all over the world. FYI, Gaza isn’t super into the gays - a lesson the flotilla is learning the hard way. ⚡️ A recap of why the fellas hate Jim Comey so much, and Duncan explains why there is no better representativ...

🎙️ There is an obvious uptick in recent and unprovoked attacks on ICE, including yesterday's shooting in Dallas. These are not isolated incidents but a symptom of a larger problem. Just look at these leftists carving phrases into their bullets, just like Luigi Mangione (who was celebrated as a folk hero by the left). Democratic politicians who are actively demonizing ICE agents and portraying them as Nazis, the Gestapo, or slave p...

🎙️ With Donald Trump headed to the UN General Assembly, the fellas reflect on how well Trump has played his hand with our European allies. Getting 5% spending commitments and action is no small task, and we’re reminded that Trump was right about everything. ⚡️ Energy Secretary Chris Wright chats with the fellas about where this administration is headed with cutting red tape and outlines so many of the mistakes from previous ad...

🎙️ Weird that the same people who are calling foul on ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel were the ones cheering for the silencing of Roseanne Barr, Gina Carano and even deplatforming President Trump. We offer a crash course in how the First Amendment works, and it doesn’t just work when you want it to. ⚡️ President Obama weighed in on the controversy, as did the DNC - more evidence of how out of touch democrats are with regular ...

🎙️ ABC News' relationship with this Utah shooter is mind-blowing. The fellas unpack this viral clip where the anchor’s sympathy is for the assassin and then attempts to paint him as some sort of thoughtful lover. It's totally appalling. ⚡ ️So, a protestor thinks she’s married to Luigi Mangione’s AI, and this is more than just bizarre. There is some deep, underlying psychosis on the left and the fellas dig in deep on what’s hap...

🎙️ After reflecting on the tragic events of last week, the fellas have some thoughtful takes on Charlie Kirk, left-wing violence and how the democrats lack of leadership is what got us here. It was an honest look into how they were each dealing with the reality of political violence that Ruthless crew now lives with every day. ⚡️ The real outrage is how so many politicians are comparing both sides. Smug is gonna freak if he he...

The media coverage around Charlie Kirk is beyond the pale. From democrats blaming Charlie for his own assassination, to gleeful leftist celebrations around his passing. We don’t expect much from journos at this point, but even we were appalled at the coverage. Between MSNBC hosts like Jen Psaki and Katy Tur, the coverage turned our collective stomachs. The fellas break down the violent political moment that we find ourselves in, ...

The loss of Charlie Kirk is being felt across the media landscape and the fellas are praying for his family. Today’s show is different because it should be different; this news has completely and deeply shocked us. Charlie was a patriot, a Christian warrior and a great friend to everyone who knew him. The fellas express their grief and cannot believe there are people who are trying to use this tragedy for political gain. We als...

🎙️ The brutal stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte is absolutely horrific, as is the video. This repeat offender has zero mentions in the New York Times, which is such an indictment of the state of mass media in 2025. The fellas cover President Trump’s comments, as well as the irresponsible statement from the Charlotte mayor in response. ⚡️Smug and Duncan have a theory that explains what we are seeing — the left has cr...

🎙️ It’s a fun time Friday and the fellas have some of the best clips from the week that was. Like Jasmine Crockett in maximum code-switching form, and Sen. Tim Kaine not having any idea where our rights derive from. Also, the Progrum recently learned that all of Wisconsin will shut down without illegal immigrants. 🥊 Smug and the minions activate after Chuck Todd weighed into democrat fantasies about Trump’s death. It was an o...

🎙️ Congress is back from break, and there is a ton to do. The fellas start with Democrats holding up Trump nominations, and you won’t believe how easy it is to stop progress on any of them. The Progrum dives into what can be done with bonus interviews featuring Sec. Chris Wright and Kevin Hassett. ⚡A️ government shutdown is possible, but the fellas explain if it’s likely. What will Chuck Schumer demand from Republicans to work...

🎙️ Dems are getting crushed by good ideas from the Trump administration, and their solution to push back is creating songs. We have yet to find a recording of this song, but we will not rest until the new “we shine blue” bop is in our hands. They also have a Kilmar Armando García song, and we have a clip of it. ⚡️ The WaPo editorial board wrote a cringe piece about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, which is such a desperate effor...

🎙️ The fellas dig into how poorly democrat run cities are and how it relates to the tragedy in Minneapolis. And not just at the catholic school, there were three murders in the preceding 13 hours in that city. Democrats know that lack of law enforcement is hurting people and they just don’t care. Holmes, Smug and Ashbrook discuss why so many democrat elected leaders turn a blind eye to what’s happening in their towns. ⚡️ CNN o...

🎙️ Trump has somehow made the democrat party one that supports crime - what a Jedi mind trick. We break down the best clips from Monday’s signing of an EO on crime. We look at Mamdami’s proposals on crime and contrast those to what Trump is doing on crime in D.C. ⚡Do you even lift, bro? Mamdani answers that question for the whole world. An old liberal white woman’s protest sign in VA is patently offensive, but she doesn’t care...

🎙️ More bad news for democrats, namely, they can’t raise any money. These horrifying numbers on the heels of terrible voter registration numbers are all bad omens for what’s to come. The fellas review some amazing videos, like JD Vance owning a heckler - or a woman arguing about her cultural appropriation with a cop. Law and order are back in DC. ⚡️ ️Lawyers are making some of the best videos. From a PA immigration lawyer who ...

🎙️ The democrat party is in free fall, and it’s obvious why. The fellas review the current state of democratic politics and the outrageous comments that are tarnishing how the American people view the parties. 🫏 What the NY Times dubbed ‘The Death Cycle of Democrats’ shows that they are hemorrhaging voters at an unprecedented pace. And these numbers might actually be worse than they look on paper, which is already terrible. The...

🎙️ Many D.C. residents are actually glad to see help arrive, just like the Progrum knew would happen. The fellas contrast this with the journo overreaction to D.C. improvements in safety. Then, some mouthy protestors get a dose of their own medicine from the reinforcements. 🇺🇦 Trump had a busy weekend and Zelensky had a visit to the Oval Office. The best moments from the presser, and what an America First solution looks like...

🎙️ It’s finally Friday and the fellas open with some of the funniest pieces from the week that was. Kicking it off, a little free advice for Mayor Pete: if you want to be President, you should probably have a better answer on Gaza than just vamping for 2 minutes. Eric Swalwell talks about ICE agents and a little-known politician has a great time in the back of a cop car. The fellas preview today's Putin / Trump meeting in Alaska...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
