Late Justice Antonin Scalia said it best when he discussed a bad idea being "pure applesauce." That's the nicest way to describe the latest indictment against President Trump for "attempting" to overturn the 2020 election results, and the happenings on January 6th, 2021. This is not about liking Trump, or what Trump said or did. This is about the law. And, legally, Smith's indictment reads as not a list of provable crimes, but rather as an airing of the grievances. John Malcolm of the Heritage Foundation has the latest on the indictment, and what it says about our political DOJ. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Credit rating agency Fitch has downgraded the United State from AAA to AA+. It might seem slight, but it's not. The implications can have huge effects on markets, and on America's ability to attract investment. Over the past two months we have been seeing the credit crunch from banks. They are doing less lending to both business and individuals. This crunch means less expansion, and the cost for expansion is crazy high. This means less growth. This means a stagnant economy. But we are told that Bidenomics is going great! Economist Dr. Matt Will explains what the downgrade means and why you should be concerned.

It's not deniable that it has been hot in many areas of the country. Equally not deniable? It is summer. And hot temperatures happen in summer. Also not deniable? There is a difference between weather and climate. Again, not deniable? The heat we have experienced in the US is not proof of a destroyed planet. It's not even, for many parts of the country, the hottest temperatures on record. So why are CNN and many members of the MSM so desperate to make Americans think that we are going to boil to death? James Taylor, President of the Heartland Institute, joins Tony Katz to explain what is happening and who is lying...and why. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Shaquille Leonard is coming off an injury-plagued season. He's reported to training camp, and that makes the Colts faithful smile. But is he ready to play? Star running back Jonathan Taylor wants to get paid, and paid big. But the Colts seem reluctant. Will Taylor see the field, or will his demands send him to another team? And what will the Colts do without him? 1st round draft pick Anthony Richardson might not see full-time starting duties until week 10. Yes, week 10. Leonard. Taylor. Richardson. Who will start first? And what will owner Jim Irsay do if this season is a bust? Indiana sports guru JMV discuss with Tony Katz.

the Federal Reserve just raised the target rate to 5.25-5.50%. This, while Americans are told that inflation has cooled to 3%, and while President Biden tells Americans that Bidenomics is working. Heck, the White House has fully embraced the term, "Bidenomics!" Economist Dr. Matt Will explains why rates are going up, if Bidenomics is working and how Wall Street's reactions don't translate to Midwest Mainstreet.

A seemingly disturbed US soldier ran across the DMZ into North Korea, and was subsequently taken prisoner by North Korean troops. Who is this solider, why was he anywhere near the DMZ and how did the US military let this happen? And now, how does an American military hostage not lead to a dangerous place? Meanwhile, the US is moving warships into the Persian Gulf to deal with Iranian piracy. Is the US heading for more conflict? Are we heading for war? Retired Army Maj. Mike Lyons breaks it down.

This is not about the work the rank and file FBI agents do every day. This is about the FBI leadership, over the last 10 years (or more!) that have worked in a partisan fashion. Those in leadership who put themselves over the country. And that includes current FBI Director Christopher Wray, who consistently avoids answering question from Congress, shielding himself behind the canards of "ongoing investigation." When will Speaker McCarthy say enough is enough, and actually do something about the FBI's failure to be responsive to the most basic questions? Ed Morrissey of HotAir.com discusses the problem, and the political fall out potential for both McCarthy and Wray. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

The Biden Administration is crowing about the drop in inflation. Don't get me wrong, the CPI report wasn't bad...but it was far from great. But ask the White House, and they will tell you that "Bidenomics" is working, that President Biden is a genius, that the American economy is roaring. If that's true, then why is everything so damn expensive? Food, housing, air travel....all crazy high. The auto industry still suffers. Major companies are still conducting layoffs. Does this feel like an economy on the rise? Americans for Prosperity’s Vice President of Government Affairs Akash Chougule joins Tony to break down what is happening to Midwest Main Street, how it differs from the "reality" on Wall Street and why everyday Americans are not celebrating.

They named it Bidenomics. Or, at least, they embraced the term. The White House can't stop crowing about how great the economy is doing. They still claim they've created jobs...even though it's nothing more than people being allowed to go back to work post-Covid. They claim that not beating jobs numbers is actually great growth. And with today's top line news about inflation being down, they are ecstatic. But is inflation down? Will we see the Federal Reserve bring down interest rates? Are businesses feeling comfortable for the foreseeable future? Economist Dr. Matt Will from the University of Indianapolis shares his take with Tony. As always, Wall Street is a long, long way away from Midwest Main Street. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner PMC, attempted a coup in Russia, leading his team of 25,000 men towards Moscow only to stop a few hundred miles from their goal, turn around and head back to Ukraine. Sources said that Russian President Vladimir Putin left the country for his safety. Now, it's Putin who still retains power and Prigozhin who is in hiding. Or, is he? Ret. US Army Maj. Mike Lyons explains what happened. Who has the power? What does this mean for Putin? Is Prigozhin a dead man walking? And what does all of this mean for Ukraine and their ability to beat back Putin's onslaught? Presented by Americans for Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

When former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor voted in favor of affirmative action, she stated, "The Court expects that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today." In a 6-3 and 6-2 decision, the Supreme Court found that the "race-conscious" admission policies of the University of North Carolina and Harvard violate the Constitution. With that, affirmative action came to an end. What has not ended is the extreme reactions from the political Left, which range for hysteria to near total insanity. Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson explains the law and the decision, as well as the politics of the reaction and what many universities will do next.

In the middle of an interview on MSNBC, President Biden got up and left. He literally walked off the set while the anchor was still asking questions. The Left can not refute that Biden is clearly not ok. His age - or another issue - is the issue. They can call it ageism, or they can bring up Trump or anything else they want. But Democrats have run out of ways to defend the indefensible. Joe Biden is not ok, and the country is at risk because of it. Presented by Americans For Prosperity. Http://Americansforprosperity.org

This week has been a monster for news: An almost coup in Russia. The Trump audio leaked with him discussing classified documents. The Supreme Court is going to unleash a barrage of decisions. But nothing compares to the clearer and clearer evidence that President Biden KNEW about his son Hunter's business dealings, and that AG Merrick Garland had the Department of Justice impede the investigation. Don't get it twisted, these other stories do matter and deserve discussion. But, when ranked, the idea that the current President of the United States may have been involved in pay for play, and the current Attorney General helped thwart an investigation into him? That's the top story. Period. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Reports say that inflation expectations are easing, and most would consider that a good thing. But not being discussed is the lack of credit being extended by banks. When banks don't lend, that's a sign that things are going in a very, very bad direction. Economist Dr, Matt Will explains what these indicators mean, and why every American should be aware of what is coming. Presented by Americans for Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

The indictment against President Trump is, in a word, damning. That's not hyperbole; that's a clear-eyed assessment of the document. Trump worked to keep the FBI in the dark about what documents he had. He asked lawyers to destroy documents. He might even be on tape bragging about having classified documents. Yeah. It's bad. But what about a country that has targeted Donald Trump for seven years? A country that didn't prosecute Hillary Clinton for actions far worse than the allegations about Trump? a country that seems to be looking the other way on President Biden, Hunter Biden and bribery...and other criminal acts? Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson has the breakdown on the indictment. Can Trump beat the rap? And what of the "two-tiered" justice system that Republicans are screaming about. Aren't they right? Presented by Americans for Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

President Trump told the world he was indicted yesterday for having classified documents at his home at Mar-a-Lago. Yet, President Biden - who had classified documents in his home, in his DC office and at university sites - is not being indicted. How does anyone explain the double standard? And what about President Biden's connection to payoffs from Burisma? The indictment of Trump comes out on the same day we learn of the contents of the FBI document that Director Wray tried to keep from Republicans? Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson explains the legal implications in all of it.

For most Americans, the GOP field of presidential candidates will come down to President Trump or Gov. Ron DeSantis. For large swaths of the political right, everyone else running in 2024 is looking to be VP, or get a cabinet position. But even with Trump/DeSantis looming, contenders are still joining the race. Most recently, former VP Mike Pence, former NJ Governor Chris Christie and current North Dakota Governor David Burgum. Wait. Who? Why are they running? Well, it's complicated....but not really.

The May jobs report shows a big jump in the workforce, with 339,000 jobs created. Markets are responding positively to the news. But the top line doesn't tell the whole story. Isn't the Fed trying to cool the economy? And what about productivity, which is on the decline? The Biden economy has issues, and that's what matters. Economist Dr. Matt Will explains what is happening and what it means for American families. Presented by Americans For Prosperity. http://americansforprosperity.org

The House passed the new debt ceiling deal 314-117. While it looks to pass the Senate, there are many - on both sides of the aisle - who have serious reservations about what the House bill offers. What are the amendments the senators are looking at? Will it pass? Indiana Sen. Mike Braun shares how he'll vote "No" and the amendments he's looking for to get to "Yes." Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Target and Kohl's have continued to push gender ideology on children, offering kids clothes with slogans and iconography that are questionable. And, in the case of Target, offering swimsuits to children that allow for "tucking." Boycotts are happening. But these companies do not seem bothered or worried. Why is that? The answer to most things is "follow the money." And it could be that ESG is making sure these companies make plenty of cash. If the investor is spending, maybe the customer doesn't matter anymore. Tony Katz takes a look at why Target and Kohl's are acting this way. Presented by Americans For Prosperity. http://americansforprosperity.org

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of Bobby Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, is running against President Biden for the Democratic nomination. While he is known for his strong stance against Covid restrictions and vaccinations, Kennedy has a long history of Progressivism. How does he expect to challenge Biden for the nomination, and what are the policies he would enact if he was in charge? And would he rather face Trump or Biden?

After it was revealed that Wilson broke a vertebrae, the hunt was on for a replacement. The Dreyer Reinbold team didn't have to look far. Instead of former drivers like Sage Karam or JR Hildebrand, DRR brought Graham Rahal back from the 500 dead! Rahal, who failed to qualify with his Rahal Letterman Lanigan team, will join DRR and Cusick Motorsports for the 107th Running of the Indianapolis 500! How did the deal happen?

Watch the FULL Interview HERE: https://rumble.com/v2o4dc4-russian-collusion-was-always-a-scam-live-with-rep.-jim-banks.html The Durham Report shows that the FBI did not follow any proper procedures when investigating Operation Crossfire Hurricane. And it is obvious that they didn't care. They wanted to engage a political witch hunt, no matter what the consequences to President Trump or the American people. Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN 3) is the former head of the Republican Study Committee and is currently the leader of the Anti-Woke Caucus in the House of Representatives. He's also been very vocal about the Durham Report, which shows conclusively that Hillary Clinton and her campaign made up everything about President Trump and collusion with the Russians. It also shows how eager the politicized FBI was (and maybe still is) to protect her while attacking the duly elected President. Tony Katz speaks to Rep. Banks about his views of the Durham Report, what actions the House might take and what can/will be done to prevent such unAmerican actions in the future? Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

John Durham is done with his report on the origins of the Mueller investigation into President Trump and so-called connections to Russia. What did we learn? Well, we learned what we already knew! the FBI did not follow procedure. The Clinton campaign invented the whole thing. The Mainstream Media can not be trusted, and acts as an arm of the Democratic Party. The report is just proof of how ugly our "leaders" treat us, the citizens. When will it stop? How do we stop it? Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson explains the legal and political ramifications. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org
