Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced that he was bringing his show Twitter. No word yet on whether he will charge for it, but that's not the question that matters. Is this now proof that the networks are irrelevant? That new media and social media, when in the hands of those who allow for free thought and free expression - like Rumble and Elon Musk - can offer users a filter free experience that they truly want? And if that is the case, what's next for all the network and tv media outlets when they lose their biggest voices? Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Bourbon and whiskey have been outrageously popular in the US over the past decade. And while Covid impact a lot of businesses negatively, for the world of spirits, Covid has meant massive sales and a real strain on the bourbon and whiskey world. What do the coming years look like for the industry? David Fleming, Executive Editor of WhiskyAdvocate, has the story. Join David along with Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy at WhiskyFest in Chicago on May 12th in Chicago! https://whiskyadvocate.com/whiskyfest/WhiskyFest-Chicago Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has shown America that he is about ideology before the citizens. The application of AB 5 in California made it harder for citizens to make a living. Worse, it made it near impossible for these American citizens to engage their rights under the US Constitution. Now, Democrats want to bring AB 5 to America with "The Pro Act." Casey Mattox, VP for Legal and Judicial Strategy at AFP, explains why AB 5 and the Pro Act are unAmerican and wholly unnecessary.

Is Arizona a red state or a blue state? Well, based on election results, it's very blue. Based on questions about those election results, it's anybody's guess. And based on positions taken by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who knows what she'll think from one day to the next! It's not just a mess, it's a dilemma. How does one campaign there? Should GOP contenders really stick their neck out for it in 2024? Will Biden take the state for granted? Arizona Republic contributor and editor of Ricochet.com Jon Gabriel talks to Tony about what to expect. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Florida Republican Representative Kat Cammack talks to Tony Katz about the future of farms in the US and the importance of protecting women in sports. For the past month, Rep. Cammack has been touring farms across Florida to understand what they are up against: rising fuel prices, tight labor market, increased interest rates on capital and competition from China. Rep. Cammack also voted to protect women in sports. From her website, "(Rep. Cammack) voted in support of H.R. 734, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023, which strengthens the law's existing protections for women, ensures a level playing field for female athletes, and protects the law from the Biden administration's radical regulatory scheme.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was clear a few weeks back: All The Banks are Equal, But Some are More Equal Than Others. When a bunch of banks came together to "support" First Republic Bank when it started to falter, economist Dr. Matt Will said it clearly: These banks are getting in line...hoping to buy First Republic up at a discount. JP Morgan got the sweetheart deal, which includes guarantees and the FDIC covering losses. Once again, big banks make bank and the American people pay for it. Right? Dr. Will explains what happened to First Republic Bank, how the government gave JP Morgan the deal and what it means for smaller banks and their depositors...like you.

From all accounts, the Colts have picked an incredible draft class. 12 selections, and all of them hitting fans and experts as smart picks. Is this a solid draft class? Or, is this GM Chris Ballard looking good on paper yet terrible on the field. Sports guru 'JMV' has the breakdown with Tony Katz. Presented by Americans for Prosperity. http://americansforprosperity.org

The 2023 NFL Draft took place, and the it was a lot of spectacle. After picks one and two went as expected, the entire draft got upended. Who won? Who lost? What happened to Will Levis of Univ. of Kentucky and what deals are left to be made? Sports guru JMV of Indiana has the breakdown with Tony Katz. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Not much thought went into the video announcing that President Biden was running for re-election. Or, is it that they didn't want to think about anything important. The economy is a wreck, the border is a crisis, the wokeness is trying to invade every corner of society....while Joe Biden has you paying for the mortgages of others! Biden's video doesn't focus on the issues, nor does it focus on his "success." Instead, it pushes the idea that Republicans want to take your freedoms. It is an ugly ad, and paints a bleak vision for the 2024 election season, and America. Hot Air.com editor Ed Morrisey joins Tony Katz to break it down. Presented by Americans For Prosperity. http://americansforprosperity.org

Egard Watches once again stands up against the woke mob. This time, standing shoulder to shoulder with women in sports, and against the idea that men should participate in women's sports. Is this a personal stance, or a business decision? Or both? CEO Ilan Srulovicz explains. Presented by Americans For Prosperity. http://americansforprosperity.org

Former White House Press Secretary and former Newsmax host Sean Spicer talks to Tony Katz about whether Fox should have settled, whether DeSantis can dethrone The Donald and his new book....for kids. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Fox News settled with Dominion Voting, paying over $787 million for defamation. Should they have settled? Let Tony know what you think!

A Chinese police station was found in NYC. This is an outpost, connected to the Chinese Communist Party, working to promote China's values while spying on American citizens. After that bust, six more Chinese police stations were found across the country, in Minnesota, California and Texas! Will Congress move to act against this threat? And what is the "anti-Woke" caucus? Indiana Republican Rep. Jim Banks explains. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts got paid, and paid huge! He's now the highest paid player in NFL history. Is he really worth that much? Meanwhile, GS Warriors star Draymond Green got ejected for stomping on Sacramento Kings' Domantas Sabonis. Will this get him suspended from the playoffs? And is CJ Stroud falling in the NFL Draft? Indiana based sports host JMV has the breakdown. Presented by Americans For Prosperity. http://americansforprosperity.org

If you missed it on Real Time with Bill Maher, Piers Morgan made Dem. Rep. Katie Porter look like a fool when discussing Riley Gaines and the importance of actually being a feminisit. The people at Anheuser Busch tried to right the ship after their horrific entanglement with misogynist Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light, but the words of the CEO did not meet the moment. DeSantis has supporters, and they have an ad goign directly at President Trump on gun rights. And it is brutal. Plus, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sees value in banks tightening lending so the Fed doesn't have to raise interest rates to lower inflation. Why don't they just stop the government spending?! Economist, Dr. Matt Will, has the story. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

A federal judge in North Dakota has stopped President Biden from implementing new rules controlling your water. Biden wants to redefine what are "Waters of the United State." In doing so, he is looking to allow the federal government to control every stream, lake and water source in the nation. This has huge implications for farmers. And, of course, huge implications for those of us who eat what those farmers grow! Sterling Burnett, managing editor of Environment and Climate News, breaks down what Biden wants, why the courts said no and whether this judge's decision is enough to stop the government from controlling water supplies. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regained power, Israel has been on the front pages even more than normal. His attempts to reform the judiciary have led to protests by tens of thousands of Israelis, but those protests have been used for other political purposes in the US and other nations. As always, horrifically, there are continued rocket attacks against the Israeli people. And, tensions at Israel's holiest sights are growing. What is the real situation on the ground? Daniel Aschheim, Deputy Consul General at the Consulate General of Israel to the Midwest, answers the questions and gives much needed detail to what is happening.

John Kirby, spokesman for the National Security Council, suggested that reporters should not report on the leaked documents. Documents, it turns out, that share information not only about Russian and Ukrainian efforts, but detailed conversations between the US and allies like Israel and South Korea. That the NSC says we shouldn't report on these documents is radical. But the damage these leaks have done have consequences we are yet to realize. Is the Biden administration taking this seriously? Is the US really damaged by this leak? Stephen Yates, former Deputy Assistant to Vice President Dick Cheney for National Security Affairs and current Chair of the China Policy Initiative for the America First Policy Institute, talks about how damaging this really is.

Rep. Ocasio Cortez doesn't like that a Texas Judge ruled that Mifepristone - used in medication abortions - should be held from use until the FDA can explain how it was approved. Her answer? Ignore the courts. And the FDA? They should ignore SCOTUS Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

Yes, it was another leak of documents. This time, Defense Department documents showing how poorly Russia is doing in Ukraine, and how ugly of shape the Ukrainian forces are. For both sides, it's a bad time. For the United States? The problem is the documents themselves. How did they leak? Why? And what about US intel? Can we be sure that China and Russia don't know about us what we know about them? Of course, no one is talking about the leak...even though it's the biggest story out there! Maj. Mike Lyons (Ret. US Army) explains why this is all so dangerous. Presented by Americans For Prosperity. http://americansforprosperity.org

The Biden Economy is not living up to the hype. Unless, the hype is a hot mess. Then, yes....yes it is living up to expectations. While many will hype the jobs report, Dr. Matt Will is looking at the latest manufacturing numbers. And that report tells us the recession is here.

The reaction to the charges Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has brought against President Donald Trump? Underwhelming...and that's being kind. 34 felony charges were brought by Bragg, but this was actually a procedure called "stacking." It's what a DA does when they don't have a strong case, but they want to make it sound damning. Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson explains why the indictment is such a dud. Follow his work at http://legalinsurrection.com Presented by Americans For Prosperity. http://americansforprosperity.org

OPEC is going to reduce supply around the globe by approximately 1 million barrels a day. Perahps now President Biden will consider energy security in the US? Meanwhile, McDonald's is getting ready for major corporate layoffs. Maybe Joe BIden should recognize that the economy isn't that great? Economist Dr. Matt Will explains what's happening, and how it will affect all Americans. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

As we know, President Trump has been indicted by the Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, because of payments made to Stormy Daniels. While the indictment is sealed, we know the basis of the case seem beyond flimsy. Former AG William Barr called it "pathetically weak." We also know that the purpose fo the indictment is purely political. But Trump better be ready. And, by press reports, he seems to be. He arrives in New York on Monday, and will surrender himself on Tuesday. Is Alvin Bragg ready? Presented by Americans for Prosperity. http://americansforprosperity.org
