Segment Topic:
- The impact of DOGE, and how it can save taxpayers money; could it lead to lower taxes?
- There’s a lot of promise in the newly christened Department of Government Efficiency, and a pair of corporate executives like Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk are well qualified to identify and root-out waste, fraud and abuse in our $7 trillion+ government. This is the promise of DOGE.
- It can also lead to saving taxpayers a lot of money. Whether it’s making IRS employees pay their taxes (like you and every listener does), taking action on a credible Pentagon audit, stupid studies like abusing monkeyswith hormone injections to see if it makes them transgender, or building a casino for pigeons, there’s plenty of pork in the federal budget - all of it paid for by you.
- Will the overturning of the “Chevron Doctrine” eventually cut the size of the Federal bureaucracy and thereby substantially cut the Federal budget?
- A coalition of 19 conservative and libertarian groups sent a letterto congressional leaders Tuesday urging them to act after a major Supreme Court decision clawing back federal agency power.
- The coalition, led by Americans for Prosperity, told lawmakers they have a “generational opportunity” to rein in the federal bureaucracy after the high court in June overturned Chevron deference, which for 40 years had compelled courts to defer to agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous statutes.
- Overturning the doctrine marked a monumental victory for the conservative legal movement, and as President-elect Trump returns to the White House, Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk have latched on to the decision in their ambitious plansto slash federal regulations as co-heads of the newly minted “Department of Government Efficiency,” or DOGE.
- In the letter, the coalition proposed Congress delegate less authority to agencies in future legislation, streamline the procedures that allow lawmakers to overturn federal regulations, and increase agency oversight and hearings, among other steps.
- The 2024 Presidential election resurfaced issues related to housing affordability, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the Federal Reserve, all of which can be traced back to the 2008 financial crisis.
- And yet, over 15 years later, the American people still lack an understanding of what caused this nearly catastrophic event. In his new book, 2008: What Really Happened, financial expert/investment banker, Todd Sheets presents extensive original research that unveils what triggered the sudden and historic upsurge in home prices in 1998, the critical mistake that caused prices to accelerate so dangerously in the early 2000s, and how the housing bubble then led to the financial crisis.
- What will Trump’s polices do for home affordability in America?
- What Americans and the new Trump administration can learn from the Financial Crisis and how to apply these lessons to today’s key issues, including Trump’s “unfinished business” with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac!
Panelist:
Mike Palicz, Director, Americans for Tax Reform
Kurt Couchman, Senior Fellow in Fiscal Policy: Americans for Prosperity
Todd Sheets, Financial Expert/Investment Banker, Author: “2008: What Really Happened”

Segment Topic:
- Trump warns there will be ‘all hell to pay’ if hostages aren’t released by Jan. 20!
- How does Trump’s warning to Hamas compare to Reagan’s warning to Iran during the hostage crisis?
- The coordinated attacks on Pete Hegseth prove that the Uni-Party is actually in control of the Senate. Not MAGA Republicans.
- Casper Weinberger had the same job that Pete Hegseth would (if confirmed), correct years of a Democrat President’s neglect at the Defense Department.
- Capitol Hill has many skeletons in their closets, so why are they attacking Pete Hegseth, a decorated war veteran?
- Trump making a trip to Paris tomorrow to attend the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral.
- Isn’t this trip far too dangerous for Trump? Wouldn’t Iran have the perfect opportunity to target him?
