Week in Review:

• The recent arrests and newly revealed details about Matthew Perry’s death remind me a lot of the death of Michael Jackson in 2009. Anyone else getting déjà vu here?
• Two unregistered Chinese agents have pled guilty to bribing an IRS agent to take away the non-profit status of performing group Shen Yun in yet another attempt by the CCP to persecute the religious group Falun Gong.
• Consumer credit card debt has topped a staggering 1 trillion dollars. How are people still pretending the economy is fine under Biden and Harris?
• I know you all will be SHOCKED when I tell you that the lowered prescription drug prices the Biden/Harris fans are shouting from the rooftops has significant hidden costs – first for the taxpayers in the form of subsidies, then eventually for the Medicare recipients themselves.
• Taxpayers should not have to fund federal employees who are working on union business. Here’s a novel incentive package – work, or you get fired. End of discussion.
• More major companies – including Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Wells Fargo – are making the clearly correct decision to move to Texas. Dallas is now second only to New York City in terms of financial sector jobs. Welcome to Y’all Street!
• Retired naval captain turned author Red O’Laughlin stopped in to talk about the root cause of military recruitment shortfalls, as well as his extensive research and writings on health, wellness, and spirituality.
• A high school in Indiana made headlines when they blocked flying an American flag as “offensive.”
• The DNC was an obsessively covered waste of time and energy. The real story is that, when we briefly saw Harris come out of the basement with a policy position, it was all regurgitated Communist-era price controls and rent controls.
• As the DNC rightfully fades away into obscurity, Trump needs to get on message and STAY on message. What message, you ask? Well, I just happen to have a few thoughts about what his talking points should be.
• The recent surge in anti-Christian hate crimes is a worrying trend, and underscores that we must unite to stand against terrorism and hate.
• My guest this week is Kevin McDonald, and while we meant to talk mostly about his podcast “Positive Talk Radio,” we really spent most of the time talking about chickens, psychic powers, and the power of positive thinking.
• Artificial intelligence is taking center stage in music as the industry giants are suing AI song companies Suno and Udio, claiming their AI-generated songs are too similar to the originals used to train the software.
