Twas The Night Before Trump Light Beer Dark Money podcast

46:48

Jeff Bezos has announced that the Washington Post editorial page will be focused on two pillars: personal liberty and free enterprise. Chris wonders if Bezos has been listening to the podcast (Sean doubts that). Pam Bondi announces that some of the Epstein flight logs will be released and we discuss JFK files as well. DOGE continues its rooting out waste fraud and abuse, with Trump’s first Cabinet meeting highlighting Elon’s efforts and all cabinet members being on board with real reforms. Sean points out that Congress can’t be relied upon to truly cut spending, because it is against their very nature – so the executive branch needs to take the lead. All this, and so much more!

Marc Thiessen is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) where he studies and writes about American presidential leadership and counterterrorism. Marc joins the show in an exclusive audio only podcast to discuss the work of AEI and its dramatic and crucial engagement with the Trump Administration. Marc and other AEI scholars are engaged in providing Trump with expansive analysis of everything from the Ukraine Mineral Agreement to the advancement of important Tax and Immigration policy. But even the best scholars and policy professionals at AEI are amazed at the speed and stamina of the Trump administration in implementing long-standing policy prescriptions... A #mustlisten for an "Inside Washington" perspective of Trump's first 30 days... And what the next months may hold for a transformational presidency.

Elon Musk Exposes Government Waste—And the Left Loses It. 41:01

5 днів тому41:01

Elon Musk and DOGE continue to find waste, fraud, and abuse. And, Elon sends an email to federal workers asking “what did you do last week?” The Left is acting as if the Constitution itself is under attack – which means Elon must be doing something right. Chris and Sean discuss DOGE, presidential appointments, and how all this will fundamentally change (for the better!) the federal government. They also cover Ukraine/Russia – Sean is skeptical and Chris thinks Trump is playing 3D chess – with the ultimate goal of creating a wedge between Russia and China. Finally, they talk about the Hamas/Israel ceasefire and hostage negotiations – Sean loses his cool a little and Chris gives a firsthand view from his trip to Israel. All this and more!

Trump continues to shake things up every day, sending the liberal left into a constant tizzy. Elon and the DOGE effort are finding some of the most outrageous waste, fraud, and abuse that have ever been exposed. Chris and Sean dive into the machinations of what Trump is doing, and how Elon is fundamentally changing how we view the workings of government. They discuss the barbs being thrown at Elon by none other than Steve Bannon, speculating that it is likely out of jealousy. They discuss the need to extend and make permanent the Trump Tax Cuts, which is a top priority for one of the show’s sponsors, Americans for Prosperity Arizona. And, of course because we are in Arizona, they cover baseball and the opening day of spring training!

The American Sheriff, Mark Lamb - of Pinal County in Arizona - put immigration issues on the map due to the tumultuous and criminal non-enforcement of immigration law during the Biden Presidency.

Trump Blows Up the Bureaucracy 21:49

Sean returns, and he and Chris discuss the whirlwind of Trump's assault on the Deep State and the entrenched Federal Bureaucracy. From the impending confirmations of controversial cabinet secretaries, to the challenging of trade norms between allies with blatant tariff threats, to the outright implosion of long-standing Democratic slush funds like USAID - Trump is literally blowing up the bureaucracy. This all is leaving Democrats completely unprepared and unhinged. Yet, for conservatives who have long criticized pathetic wasteful spending in Washington, it is a much-needed reckoning and a revelation.

Chris fills in for an ailing Sean and covers an already unbelievable week. The horrific crash of American Airlines Flight 5342 into the icy Potomac brings back memories of Air Florida flight 90 which suffered a similar fate in 1982, and our hearts and prayers go out to all the families affected. Meanwhile, it’s confirmation hearing palooza on Capitol Hill with US Senators proving time and time again that they aren’t even worthy to answer your phones – especially Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Chris predicts Kash Patel and RFK Jr. will get through but exudes caution on Tulsi Gabbard given her controversial positions on Putin, Assad, and Edward Snowden. Republicans are fresh off their retreat and we will see where they go with the massive Big Beautiful Bill; or, be more strategic and try to put some wins on the board. Lastly, with he 80th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Chris remembers his own research into the juxtaposition of the German Concentration Camps and the American Japanese Internment Camps. He gives special shout out to Geddy Lee of RUSH and his autobiography, “My Effin Life” where Geddy recounts his parents meeting in Auschwitz during the war. We never know what God is doing or His purposes. But we know that through faith we can be healed and have hope.

With California suffering from horrific wildfires, Chris and Sean discuss some of the reasons that this is happening. They point out that it is a culmination of factors, but one major issue is the anti-growth lawsuits perpetrated by the Sierra Club and Center for Biological Diversity which for years has sued to block common sense forest management practices. They also discuss how this presents an opportunity for Arizona and its economic development goals - with organizations the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, Arizona Free Enterprise Club, and the Goldwater Institute leading the charge for good policy. Finally, Chris and Sean talk about Trump’s nominees and his important strategic moves in relation to Greenland and Panama. All this and more!
