With the announcement that Elon Musk and Viviek Rawmaswamy will be heading up the Department of Government Efficiency, or, as it is more affectionately called, âthe DOGE,â what should we expect? President-elect Trump has given them a deadline of July 4th, 2026, which just so happens to be the 250 anniversary of our nation. What should we hope happens, and what are the potential roadblocks?

Trump is going to be president, plus the Republicans took the Senate and have maintained the House. This means that for at least 2 years, the Trump administration will have the tools necessary to actually do what was promised. Today we will discuss how it happened, and what needs to happen next. And we will get the best post-election analysis in the country because our very own Political prognosticator, the Oracle of Virginia, called itâŠin almost every case, he not only got it right but was closer than any of the "experts."

Well, we predicted it, everyone. Back in July, I described what the Kamala Harris strategy would be. I wrote that they will try to get people excited about Kamala for about 5 min, and when that does work, they will go back to calling Trump a fascist. And guess what? Here we are. Everyone from Kamala Harris to Keith Olbermann to even Larry Sabato at UVA Center for Politics has been comparing Trump to Hitler and calling him a fascistâŠso we decided to ask a questionâŠwhen we look at fascism as an ideology, does one candidate align with their actual objectives? So that is what we will do today. We will put away the political rhetoric and actually look at fascist policies straight from the fascists themselves and ask the questionâŠdoes either candidate for president actually align with âfascist policies?â

Whenever I have been asked what best prepared me for serving in elected office, I usually quip that before I got into politics, I served in a unit that specialized in unconventional warfare and counter-insurgency, and I'm amazed at how well that prepared me for domestic politics. It's, of course, half tongue in cheek, but there is no question that my time as a Green Beret taught me a lot about leadership. Mike Waltz is the first Green Beret elected to Congress, and he has served with distinction both in the military and as an elected official. He wrote a book, "Hard Truths: Think and Lead Like a Green Beret," where he explained what is unique and compelling about the Special Forces style of leadership.

Politics makes for strange bedfellows. But, sometimes, a campaign coalition is so strange that it defies all expectations. And when that happens, some explanation is required. Today, we will discuss what the Trump Coalition looks like, what causes it to stay together, and whether it will be enough to get him to victory.

Nick has been attending the Homesteaders of America Conference for three years. It has been going on for eight years and is always very well attended by thousands of people from all over the country and even from other countries. Amy Fewell and her team do a great job. This year, Amy called Nick and told him that the insurance company had denied their policy and mentioned Nick by name as the reason. He told Amy that the event was too important and that, if needed, she should take him off the list of speakers. Amy flat-out refused.

Imagine the government taking your kids away, then allowing your spouse, who was determined to transition your son since they were three, gets full custody, and now imagine the court allows them to move halfway across the country without your permission and almost certainly so they can start giving your 12-year-old son puberty blockers. Now imagine that the state that allowed them to do thisâŠ.is Texas.

There have been a lot of efforts to assist veterans, but I remember listening to a comedian of all people who was asked if he supported the troops. He responded, "I think our government has learned that it's much cheaper to worship the troops than it is to care for them." Our veterans are honorable members of our society who serve the Republic. They should not be treated as victims, and they shouldn't be used as political pawns. Today's guest on MTA is someone who can speak to this with a level of authority on this issue. He served his country bravely, paid a heavy price for it, and has continued to serve, and I'm proud to call him a friend.

Union strikes at ports, Missile strikes in the Middle East, and an interesting VP debate. With so much instability happening at once, the question is, could this election be one of the most important in our lifetimes? That gets said every election cycle, but could it be true this time? Also, does the Longshoreman's Union have a good case of shutting down ports right as a massive hurricane has caused huge damage in places like NC, and are we about to see war in the Middle EastâŠagain? We will review all these topics and answer your questions on this episode.

Who is actually running the country? This is a question that Graham Stephen asked me on Iced Coffee Hour not long ago. It is a great question, and the answer is complicated, but people need to understand it. Because while it isn't the conspiracy theory fever dream that some seem to think it is, it's certainly not the schoolhouse rock version people believe. Today, we are going to answer the question of who wields absolute power in America and hopefully answer the even more critical question, which is, what can you do about it?

What is the "Friend/Enemy Distinction"? On its face, it sounds simple enough; maybe it's just an understanding of how we differentiate between people we like and people we don't. Everyone does that to some degree, but what happens when things divide very simply into one of two categories, friend and enemy, win or lose, live or die, in that moment when the threat is no longer whether or not you pay a little bit more in taxes, but whether or not you go to jail.

Parents today understandably feel overwhelmed and utterly out-maneuvered by social media, the movie and music industry, and even their school system. How exactly is a parent supposed to compete? And how do you discern between real concerns vs things that are just changing times? How does a parent effectively impart their values in a culture constantly fighting against you?
