I'm joined now by Senator Cotton of Arkansas. Senator Tom Cotton, a regular guest, Republican from Arkansas. Good morning, Senator. Look, this is very serious and I am a patriot. I do not want the president of the United States to be infirm or mocked by foreign tyrants. What do we do?

Mike Gallagher scratches his head over Biden’s curious and potentially dangerous off-script call for Putin’s removal

Diving into the catastrophe that is the Biden presidency. And over the weekend, we were reminded just how bad things have gotten under Joe Biden. It's bad. It's beyond bad. And here he is in Warsaw, Poland, over the weekend. Here's what Biden said on Saturday.

Jd Vance: “Our Voters Are Very Awake to What’s Going On in the Country”

Eric Metaxas talks with senatorial candidate JD Vance about why there is reason for hope for 2022 and beyond

So, JD, you were just talking about education. Something has happened over the decades and you get this because you've been to Yale law school and you know that the ideas of the Marxist left — because that's what it is now, it's the Marxist left, these are fundamentally atheistic, fundamentally anti-American ideas — they have, in fact, taken over the academy and they are really polluting the water system, so to speak. They are destroying every part of our society. There was a story about what was going on at Yale law school recently. What do you think folks like you can do about this if you're elected to the Senate?

ANOTHER ELDERLY WOMAN ATTACKED: “WHAT’S GOING ON?”

Mike Gallagher tries to make sense of random violence against our seniors

A 73-year-old grandmother, beautiful woman. I see pictures of her presenting a big birthday cake in the article I'm reading. She was killed during a carjacking in New Orleans. Her arm and clothes were ripped off. She got stuck by the seatbelt as the attackers drove off. Happened at 1:30 in the afternoon on a Monday. She left a business in the New Orleans Mid-City neighborhood, according to WWL TV. She was dragged for almost an entire block. The police superintendent said her arm was severed from her body.

JD VANCE ON THE DEMOCRAT PARTY: “THE WAY THEY TALK ABOUT THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS IS REALLY DEMEANING.”

Eric Metaxas breaks down today’s political climate with author and senatorial candidate, JD Vance

I want to talk to you a little bit about the transgender madness. I mean, I think as a country, we're very forgiving and understanding, and if people are dealing with issues, we want to, you know, we want to love them and respect them. But the idea that you've got this six-foot-four dude crushing it in women's swimming, I think most Americans know it's preposterous. It's almost funny, except why aren't people in leadership saying, excuse me, we have a problem, this is not acceptable. I mean, what do you think, what do we do about this? … I couldn't have imagined until now that we would ever be in a position where anybody would have to weigh in on something like this.

Prager on Russia: “It’s a Mess. It’s a True Mess.”

Dr. Sebastian Gorka discusses the state of humanity and freedom with Dennis Prager

Look, half of America doesn't yearn to be free. Forget abroad. Half of America, like the rest of humanity, yearns to be taken care of. And that is the opposite of free. You're not free. The more you're taken care of, the less free you are. That's definitional. And yet people are totally okay with that. You pay my childcare, you pay my kids’ lunches and breakfasts, you pay my school bill, you pay my college tuition, you pay my healthcare, and I'll still be free?

Judging Judge Jackson: “She’s a Pawn and She’s a Performer”

Dinesh D’Souza presents the evidence on Biden’s Supreme Court nominee

Here we have Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who clearly does not represent the best of America. I mean, if you've got someone who doesn't even know if they're a woman, how can they propose to tell you which gun should be banned or which vaccines work or which infants have a right to life, which child molesters and pedophiles should be out in the streets? Apparently, Judge Jackson is perfectly comfortable making all those kinds of nuanced judgments. But in a simple question, she's completely and very tellingly stumped.

Woke Disney Walkout: “Reflects the Deeply Anti-truth Culture We Live In”

Larry Elder talks with Christian Watson about how it’s a woke world after all

Where do we start? Let's start with Disney. The employees staged a walkout. And this is a left-wing company. They have a “Gay Day” at Disneyland. I know they do out here. It's a pretty woke company, but apparently it's not woke enough for their employees who staged a walkout yesterday because the CEO of Disney did not take a harsh stance against the so-called “Don't Say Gay” bill, which is what critics call it. Of course, the word “gay” is not in the bill. And now he's retreated and he wants to now rethink the orientation towards this particular bill.

Big Tech Bullies: “Sorry, I Can’t Play in the Twitter Playground”

Mike Gallagher pushes back against Twitter censorship

I'm sorry, I can't play in the Twitter playground. I can't do it. My friend Mark Davis in Dallas got his ears cuffed by Twitter. He reposted, I think, something from the Babylon Bee. Did you see the Babylon Bee? The head of the Babylon Bee, whatever his title is, Seth Dillon, is it? On the Babylon Bee? They’re a satirical site. And they made a joke about Rachel Levine and Twitter took him down. And they won't back down. They will not back down. They're not going to acknowledge that they did anything wrong.

Charlie Kirk on Supreme Court Nominee: “Jackson Is a Democrat Partisan”

Charlie Kirk renders judgement on Ketanji Brown Jackson’s disturbing record

So, let's get into some of the background of Ketanji Brown Jackson. Jackson worked as a lawyer for several terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay – Gitmo – including a Taliban intelligence officer who is likely a leader of a terrorist cell. Jackson was a public defender, so you can't blame her for representing terrorists. Everyone needs and deserves representation. But Jackson's advocacy for these terrorists was zealous and going beyond just giving them a competent defense.

Trans Tyranny at School: “This Is Classic Cultural Marxism”

Eric Metaxas talks with writer Pedro Gonzalez about how schools punish and harass parents who resist transgender ideology

This is horrifying stuff. This is classic cultural Marxism. I mean, we have really seen it come into our homes and into our families. This is the sort of thing that you would think that this is what goes on in the Soviet Union, this is what goes on in communist countries where kids in school are told to report on their parents. In America, that is something that never could happen, we are as far from that as could ever be imagined. And suddenly now, we've taken our eye off the ball and these things have come to us and we're fighting this battle now.

Prager on Russia: “My Yardstick Is Moral”

Dr. Sebastian Gorka talks with Dennis Prager about the moral morass of Russian history

I have been torn on this issue much of my life. Was communism imposed on the Russian people, or did it well up from the Russian people? This is a debate that people who study Russia and the Soviet Union have had for decades.

Hunter Laptop Repairman: “I Would Absolutely Do It Again”

Breitbart did a story on the Delaware computer repair shop owner, where Hunter Biden left off the laptop. His name is John Paul MacIsaac, 45 years old.

Transgender in Sports: “Lia Thomas Is a Cheat”

Charlie Kirk dives into the controversy

Okay, so if you don't know who Lia Thomas is, let's get you up to speed. Lia Thomas is a person who was born a biological male. Lia Thomas is a man who thinks he is a woman. I wish Lia Thomas best of luck figuring out those deep-seated mental problems. I wish for him counseling sympathy, compassion, grace – none of that should be an excuse for us to tolerate the destruction of an institution or biological differences.

Woman Brutally Beaten: “It’ll Turn Your Stomach”

Mike Gallagher sickened over vicious pummeling of Asian-American woman in Yonkers

I watched a video last night of an 85-year-old woman being pummeled, an 85-year-old Asian woman being pummeled by a black man 125 times. Was caught on tape. It's so awful to watch. It makes you want to throw up. She has a brain bleed, broken bones in her face. That guy ought to be in a cage, barely getting three square meals a day for the rest of his miserable, evil, wretched life.

Charlie Kirk talks with former Speaker Newt Gingrich about the problems and politics of war

So Mr. Speaker, yesterday President Zelensky gave a moving address to the Congress. Give us your reaction. What would your response to that be if you were speaker of the House of Representatives, and what should the Republican response be after hearing that address?

Voter Suppression: “It’s a Lie”

Larry Elder debunks actor Michael Keaton’s claim about voting rights

Over the weekend, the Great Elderski was forced to watch something called the Critics Choice. You never heard of it. Neither had I. And it’s awards given to actors and TV series, movies, miniseries, online shows that I've never heard of, to people I've never heard of.
