THE COMMUNIST TAKEOVER BEGINS
A democratic socialist just torched a thirty-year incumbent in Denver, and she's only the latest. Today we trace the socialist takeover of the Democratic Party one quiet primary at a time, from Mamdani's New York to Melat Kiros in Colorado, and we show you the 1954 law the Democrats themselves passed to stop exactly this — the one we're asking them to enforce. Then we step into the oldest economic fight in America as JD Vance crowns Alexander Hamilton over Milton Friedman, and we put both men in the ring to ask which one the right should actually be following. Camellia joins us to make the case for Missouri's Amendment 4, and investigative reporter Tom Pappert breaks down how a fringe ideology captured a major party in plain sight.
🚩 THE DSA COMMIE TAKEOVER — Kiros beats DeGette, the wave that started in New York, and the survivors and scholars who lived through this and are begging us not to repeat it.
🥊 HAMILTON VS. FRIEDMAN — Vance picks Hamilton over Friedman, so we run the tale of the tape: the central bank versus the pencil, the tariff versus the consumer, the empire versus the free country.
🏛️ AMENDMENT 4 — Camellia on who really gets to rewrite Missouri's constitution, the out-of-state cash, and the August 4th vote.
🎙️ TOM PAPPERT — how the socialist wave got built, who's funding it, and why the press keeps scrubbing the word out of the headline.
✍️ SIGN THE PETITION — the Democrats wrote the Communist Control Act. Tell them to enforce it: CommunistControlAct.com

SCOTUS FUMBLED BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP
This morning we start with the Daughters of the American Revolution, an organization founded because women were once shut out by the Sons of the American Revolution, now refusing to define the word woman inside its own rulebook. We break down the 1,481 to 984 vote, the leadership warnings about D.C. law, the Biden-era legal memo behind the fear campaign, and the women inside the DAR who say this fight is not over. Then we go straight to the Supreme Court, where a 6-3 ruling against Trump’s birthright citizenship order left conservatives furious, Thomas and Gorsuch dissenting, and Congress holding the next real move. We explain the “subject to the jurisdiction” fight, the birth tourism loophole, and the bills already sitting in Washington that could force the clean test case the Court refused to give Trump. In hour two, Nick Cooper joins to talk about the future of libertarians, MAGA, and the right: one movement has the engine, the other has the rudder, and the next decade may come down to whether libertarians want to steer or keep yelling from the sidelines.
🗽 The DAR fight — the transgender membership vote, the undefined word “woman,” the Biden-era legal memo, and the restoration push from inside the organization
⚖️ Birthright citizenship — the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling, Thomas and Gorsuch’s dissent, birth tourism, and the congressional path after Trump’s executive order failed
🔥 Nick Cooper on MAGA and libertarians — why MAGA has the political engine, why libertarians have the intellectual rudder, and what it would take to actually win

This week we open at the Nixon Library, where JD Vance told a cheering room that the deep state took down Richard Nixon and that the same machine later came for Donald Trump. We trace who actually leaked Nixon to the press, why a younger right has turned him into a folk hero, and the part nobody in that building wanted to admit. Then we head to Kansas City, where Dutch World Cup fans fell in love with American abundance the same week Democrats confessed they had been hoping the tournament would fail. We close with a man the movement tried to erase. Walter Block joins us on getting purged by the Mises Institute over Israel, his defense of Javier Milei, and where the liberty movement actually lives now.
📼 NIXONMAXXING: REJECTING BOOMER POLITICS — Vance stands in the Nixon Library and says the deep state took down Nixon. We follow the thread to the FBI's number-two man settling a grudge in a parking garage, the Kennedy lawyers who ran the prosecution, and the truth nobody wanted to say out loud, that Nixon helped build the machine that ate him.
⚽ DEMOCRATS CAN'T CHEER FOR USA — Foreign fans crossed an ocean to marvel at how vast and rich America is, the same week one party grappled with the World Cup going too well. We look at why the modern left can credit the Qataris for a peace deal but never the country it wants to run.
🎓 WALTER BLOCK UNFILTERED — The Mises Institute stripped him of a fellowship he held for decades, and his only crime was supporting Israel after October 7th. We ask the self-described Mozart of Libertarianism about the purge, about Milei halving poverty in a real country, and about the civil war splitting the freedom movement down the middle.

ARMED STONERS ARE NOW LEGALIZED THANKS TO THE SUPREME COURT
This morning we break down the 9-0 Supreme Court decision in U.S. v. Hemani, which says the government cannot automatically strip gun rights from Americans who use marijuana, with Donald Trump's own Justice Department ending up on the losing side. We get into Major League Baseball warning three Giants pitchers for writing Bible verses on their Pride Night caps, and the letters Senator Josh Hawley and Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway fired right back at the league. We cover the crude line UFC fighter Josh Hokit dropped after his win at the White House card and the backlash that came from his own side. We talk about the Alabama dad who got the police called on him for taking his daughters into an empty women's restroom, the Florida couple who chose to raise the daughter an IVF clinic mixed up at birth, and the more than one million foreign fans who came for the World Cup and fell in love with America.
⚖️ ARMED STONERS WIN AT SCOTUS: The Supreme Court rules 9-0 that Washington cannot automatically disarm marijuana users, and Trump's own DOJ is the side that lost.
⚾ MLB VS. THE BIBLE: The league warns Giants pitchers for writing Genesis on their Pride Night caps while Josh Hawley and Missouri's AG demand answers.
🥊 HOKIT AT THE WHITE HOUSE: A UFC fighter turns the biggest win of his life on the South Lawn into a crude insult, and even Dana White is not having it.
🚻 911 ON A GIRL DAD: An Alabama father gets the cops called on him for taking his two little girls into an empty women's restroom.
👶 THE BABY THEY KEPT: A Florida couple chooses to raise the daughter an IVF clinic mixed up, then tracks down her genetic parents and works it out.
⚽ THE WORLD FALLS FOR AMERICA: A million World Cup fans show up and lose their minds over Waffle House, Buc-ee's, and plain old American hospitality.

Why Is The UK Protecting Pakistani Muslim Rape Gangs?
Thursday Jun 18, 2026
Thursday Jun 18, 2026
BRITAIN TRIED COVERING UP ITS PAKISTANI RAPE GANG PROBLEM Today we walk through the Rupert Lowe Rape Gang Inquiry report and the decades of institutional cowardice it documents, then we head to the ballpark where Major League Baseball warned three San Francisco Giants pitchers for writing a single Bible verse on their Pride Night caps while Missouri's attorney general fired back. We bring on Missouri liberty advocate Camellia Peterson to break down the religious liberty fight running through her home state, and comedian Lou Perez joins us on the first trillionaire in human history, FreedomFest, and the comedy line nobody else wants to touch. 🚨 RAPE GANGS — We break down the Rupert Lowe inquiry report and its estimate of at least 250,000 British victims across 149 districts, and the political class that buried the pattern for years to avoid being called racist. Borders, assimilation, and why libertarian nationalism rejects the whole framework. ✝️ MLB VS THE BIBLE — Three Giants pitchers wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on their Pride Night caps and the league hit them with a warning. Missouri AG Catherine Hanaway and Senator Josh Hawley came swinging back, and we lay out the double standard from BLM on the mound to a relocated All Star Game. 🎤 CAMELLIA PETERSON — The Missouri angle on the MLB fight, religious liberty and Title Seven, and the honest question of whether a state AG going after a private league sits right with libertarians. 🚀 LOU PEREZ — Elon Musk becomes the first trillionaire in history, the wealth tax crowd lines up, FreedomFest hits Vegas this July, and we ask the comedian at the table about the White House UFC line even Shane Gillis backed away from. 🎟️ Join us at FreedomFest in Vegas, July 8-11.
