The hosts are joined this week by Claremont's Vice President of Communications and Beck & Stone co-founder Andrew Beck to recount Vice President JD Vance’s speech at Claremont’s 2025 Statesmanship Award dinner, shining a light on the contradictions of liberals—wealthy, yet vehemently anti-billionaire; white, yet self-deprecating—and discussing the conservative mission to build and unify. Roiling also beneath the surface of the Left is an incendiary concoction of mental illness, confused gender ideology, and a propensity toward violence, most recently exposed in a series of attacks on ICE agents in Texas. Plus: Center for Renewing America CEO and Lincoln alumni Eric Teetsel drops in to discuss the passing of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, noting its successes and reactions to it from within and without the Right’s coalition—and joins the media recommendation wrap-up!
