Woke Physics: “Everything the Left Touches, It Destroys”

Dennis Prager breaks down the latest case of leftist madness

I'm going to read to you something that my producer wonders if they were hacked. It's so incredible, what I'm about to read you. “Incredible” literally means “not credible, not worthy of being believed.” But I believe it because I checked it out. And wasn't it sent to us by a physicist?

Convention of States: “Break Glass and Pull in Case of Emergency”

Eric Metaxas talks with Senator Rick Santorum about how the Constitution can save America

About eight months ago, I didn't know very much about it. I mean, I'd heard of Convention of States. I knew that it was an issue.  But all I knew about Convention of States was that it was a dramatic, sort of “break glass and pull in case of emergency” provision that was included in the Constitution.

Ukraine Update: “We Could Be In for a Protracted Conflict”

Larry Elder gets briefed by national security and foreign policy expert, James Carafano

Hey, I've got some really interesting updates for you. I actually just talked to someone who has family in Ukraine. And I don't want to go into too many details because their family has actually been targeted by the Russians. But they are working on the ground. They actually evacuated from Kiev and Ukraine. And then just a few days ago, they went back. And not only did they go back, when they got on the train – the train going back to Ukraine, which had been ferrying out refugees – was full of people. It was full of people going back to Kiev, going back into the capital. Which, you know, I think really reflects that the Ukrainian – not only the determination of fight, but the fact that the Ukrainians think that they can do this. And look, there's some tough battles going on and they're going to lose some ground. But they think they can fight for their country.

Omnibus Bill: “Have Our Leaders Thought This Through?”

Charlie Kirk gives an accounting of the $1.5 trillion spending package that sends billions to Ukraine

So, I want to get into a story here that broke late last night. The United States Senate has approved the $1.5 trillion spending bill that expands the power of the IRS and dramatically increases the size and scope of government last evening. But also, it sends $13.6 billion to Ukraine. We're going to get into that.

Dangerous Alliances: “The New Axis Is Iran, Russia and China”

Hugh Hewitt discusses Ukraine and the realities of tyranny with Dr. Larry Arnn

Dr. Arnn … we have to be prudent. We have to take our actions, our direction in the United States, based upon what we can really accomplish and on the national security interest of Americans. And the lesson last week was, build more weapons right now. Do you realize they are actually proposing to take the amount that we give to Ukraine out of our defense budget? The Democrats are? The party of Kennedy has fallen apart.

Us Energy Policy: “Completely Wrongheaded”

Charlie Kirk pumps industry expert Dan Eberhart on the high price of energy dependence

We're going to explain gas prices, the oil and gas industry from the bottom up. For those of you that know very little about it or nothing at all, that's okay. This is kind of your gas prices, oil-and-natural-gas-industry 101 crash course session, I should say. I know a lot of you guys are emailing us and asking us questions about it.

Ketanji Brown Jackson: “Let’s Put Her under the Toughest Scrutiny Possible”

Dinesh D’Souza’s verdict on Biden’s Supreme Court nomination

Biden has nominated a judge from the D.C. circuit, her name is Ketanji Brown Jackson, as the replacement for Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court. And there is not a whole lot to be said about Judge Jackson, because she's not a very distinguished judge. In fact, she's not on the second highest court in the land. She has not written a lot of opinions. In fact, very few. And she has been on a couple of significant cases swatted down by higher courts that basically said you are exceeding the authority of a judge.

Environmentalism: “It’s Essentially a Communist Movement”

Dennis Prager explains the damage done by the environmentalist left

Russia – Putin – believe that he has a stranglehold on Western European energy, specifically the strongest country on the European continent, Germany. And he did. Because Angela Merkel was an idiot. I mean, truly, the woman was such a fool. I'm sorry to say this because clearly there are wonderful people in Germany. But as a rule, Germany produces an excess number of fools and has for a very long time. I don't know why. She was a gigantic fool.

Atrocity in Ukraine: “All Zelensky Is Asking for Is Some Assistance”

Mike Gallagher asks some basic questions as Poland helps, U.S. hinders

We're seeing the third week now of Russia just decimating the country of Ukraine. Children's cancer hospital, bombed. A children's cancer hospital. As if those beautiful little angels, God's creatures, don't have enough to deal with, their hospital gets bombed, gets shelled.

Kremlin Insider: “Don’t Trust Putin at All”

Dr. Sebastian Gorka talks with Dr. Andrei Illarionov about Putin’s true ambitions

That is a clip from a speech from Vladimir Putin 16 years ago, a speech in which he said something more than once: The loss of the Soviet Union is the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the last century. Is that his motivation for what has been unfolding in Ukraine over the last two weeks? Let's discuss with a man who advised President Putin, who I recently saw on my colleague, Sean Spicer’s, show on Newsmax. He is a former economic advisor to Russia's acting prime minister, Yegor Gaidar, chief economic advisor to Russian prime minister, Victor Chernomyrdin, and chief economic advisor to Vladimir Putin. Dr. Andrei Illarionov, welcome to America First.

Kindergarten Crisis: “It’s Not the Pandemic, It’s the Lockdown”

Dennis Prager discusses how teacher unions & the left have failed our kids

This is a very distressing time for obvious reasons. The New York Times, which contributed to the – it’s an amazing thing, when The New York Times reports on catastrophes it helped create like, Hey, we're just reporting. We had nothing to do with it.

“It's ‘Alarming,’” is the headline. “Children are severely behind in reading. The fallout from the pandemic is just being felt. ‘We're in new territory,’ educators say.” How about, “we're in new territory because educators put us there”?

Judicial Watch: “The Clinton cash machine was in bed with the Russians”

Larry Elder talks with Tom Fitton about the real Russia collusion

I would submit, the corruption of Biden and his family is a contributing factor to the terrible situation we're seeing in Ukraine. If you're Putin, you look at what your opponents are doing. And Putin obviously concluded that his opponents were corrupted and weak because in part he knew, based on his experience with them in Russia and Ukraine. You can't beat that type of experience and knowledge. He probably knew it because of the government's involvement, but obviously he reads the same newspapers we do.

Ukraine: “We can't afford weak leadership”

Dr. Sebastian Gorka talks with John Lovell about Ukraine & our right to bear arms

Good men, no matter what your background or how high-speed or low-speed you are, all of us have a place to be able to protect the innocent. That could just start with you and your family. And I don't care – you're a little out of shape and you never joined some military or police unit or something like that. Like, no. But you want to do some training, make yourself a little harder to kill and be able to protect anyone at your level.

Portrait of Power: “Putin is in the Mode of the Old, Wicked Czars”

Dinesh D’Souza explains Putin’s rational, yes rational, pursuit of power

We're dealing here with brutal people and we're dealing here with the brutal language of power. And I think this is something that is difficult for Democrats and liberals and progressives to sort of get a hold of. Their thing is to wag their finger, “He's not a nice man.” Yeah. He's not a nice man. No one said he was a nice man. I've never said he was a nice man. And so sometimes my critiques of Biden people go, well, are you on Putin’s side? No, I'm not on Putin’s side. Part of my problem is that that if you want to take on an adversary like Putin or like Xi in China, you need to take their full measure and understand how strong these guys are, how tough they are and how they don't necessarily interpret their interests the way you think they do.

Putin on the March: “Piers Morgan Says, When Do We Stop This Guy?”

Mike Gallagher dissects Piers Morgan column criticizing U.S. policy in Ukraine

What about the immorality, the evil of what Putin is doing? And I think Piers Morgan makes a compelling case. We've done it before. America led a NATO military intervention when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. Now, the only difference between Saddam Hussein and Vladimir Putin is that Putin has nukes. And incidentally, that may be enough of a difference to stop us from going near it. That very well may be enough of an argument to say, you kidding me? But if we're trying to cripple Russia's economy, I got an idea. Maybe we ought to consider crippling the military convoy that's about to wreak death and bloodshed and hell upon the Ukrainian people. What must it feel like to be a Ukrainian? We've gotten calls from Ukrainians in Chicago and Philadelphia and New York. Call me today. Tell me what you think as you must be in total fear, as you see images of this convoy rolling towards Kyiv. What should we do about it?

Election 2020: “Those are Soviet Union-Style Numbers”

Charlie Kirk discusses an astounding report on ballot laundering in Wisconsin

The special counsel investigating suspected irregularities in Wisconsin 2020 election has found that 91 nursing homes – not 91 nursing home patients, 91 nursing homes – in the counties of Milwaukee, Racine, Dane, Kenosha, and Brown, had voter turnout ranging from 95% to 100% in 2020, as compared to overall nationwide participation rates of 67% in 2020 and 60% in 2016.

Thoughts on the SOTU: “That Was like a Senility Circus Last Night”

Mike Gallagher unpacks the SOTU clown car

When a president of the United States stands up before the American people and tells a bald-face lie in a State of the Union address, you could always tell if the media is on his side or is willing to do their job.

Or, choice three – they're going to be jackals attacking his presidency every minute of every hour of every day like they did for four years of Donald Trump.

Putin Emboldened: "The Invasion of Ukraine Is the Failure of Policy to Begin With"

Hugh Hewitt talks with Senator Tom Cotton about Russia, COVID & the SOTU

Senator Cotton, we are quote, “leading from behind,” close quote, again. This is the famous Barack Obama formulation that governed our Libya policy, when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in charge and Tony Blinken was the Vice President now President Biden's national security advisor.

Canada Crackdown: “Truly disturbed to the depths of my soul”

Dennis Prager laments Canada’s descent into tyranny

I don't remember the last time I was as truly disturbed to the depths of my soul than I am about the communist takeover of Canada.

I never use words hyperbolically. I didn't think Trudeau was a communist until I saw what he did. And then I looked it up and sure enough, the man considers China to be an ideally run country. And he had only magnificent praise for Fidel Castro

The prime minister of Canada is a communist.
