What You Need to Know is about the body of literature that has shaped Donald Trump. Trump’s formative years were spent on the tail end of a great period of American literature (Horatio Alger and others) that taught us we can work hard and make it. Anyone can work hard and make it. You can see in Donald Trump, in Elon Musk, and in many famous, successful business folks of the line of these works of literature and the ethos they inspired. Todd Bensman, Senior National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies and author of Overrun, joins Ed to discuss what border policy will look like over the next 4 years under Trump’s administration. AJ Rice, President & CEO of Publius PR and author of The White Privilege Album: Bringing Racial Harmony to Very Fine People…on Both Sides, joins Ed to discuss his book. AJ tells about his writing process and career, and how he is always working on the next thing, “like Pac Man.” He also talks about how he uses irreverent humor and satire to bring of salient and critical political points. John Schlafly, co-author of the weekly Schlafly Report, discusses with Ed the tenuous situation with Russia. Trump wants to bring the Russia-Ukraine war to a speedy resolution, but Biden’s authorization for Ukraine to use U.S.-made missiles is putting a wrench in those works.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WYNK: This is Kamala Kollapse week. I have been saying for months that the news and pollsters have been lying, and that her campaign would fall apart before the election. Two groups are going to vote in unexpected ways. Minority men are swaying toward Trump more than they have toward any other Republican. The other group is ethnic Catholics. Irish, Polish, and Vietnamese Catholics liked Biden because he was a Kennedy cultural Catholic. Now Biden is off the ticket, and Robert Kennedy Jr. backed Trump. Minority men and ethnic Catholic voters are typically Democrat demographics, but now the polls are cratering for the Harris campaign. Kenneth Timmerman, author of 14 non-fiction books, most recently The Iran House, as well as 4 novels, joins Ed to discuss his recent article Democrats’ decades of bargaining have only empowered Iran’s tyrannical leaders — and made us less safe. Kenneth explains the seriousness of Iran’s threats against Donald Trump, as well as Biden’s ties to Iran. He also drills down on the core of our history of conflict with Iran. John Schlafly, co-author of the weekly Schlafly Report, talks about how Trump getting shot brought many people to his side. John also tells us about the state of the race, and how we are looking and hoping for evidence of a wave that will give Trump the November election. Wrap Up: Go vote! It is incredibly important that you show up and vote. Make a plan to vote. Think it through if you are voting in person so things do not get in the way! Vote straight ticket Republican. Next, be pushy. Encourage your friends to vote!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What You Need to Know is in these final four weeks, get out the vote every way that you can. We may not like the systems, but we have to use them to beat the left. Democrats are in full swing to “fortify” the 2024 election, Politico (the internal news source of the Washington Swamp Elites) is already saying so! We have to swamp the polls, swamp early voting, swamp mail in voting for Donald Trump and every race all the way down the ballot. Michael Pack, CEO of Palladium Pictures (formerly President of Manifold Productions), talks about his new documentary "Get the Jew: The Crown Heights Riot Revisited” [watch for free on WSJ opinions]. This film sheds light on the worst antisemitic riot in American history, which occurred in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in 1991. Plus, a brief revisit of Michael’s work on his documentary “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words.” Timothy Hale, January 6 patriot and representative for the Patriot Freedom Project, gives an update on J6 cases and weaponization of the DOJ. They continue to arrest people - even all these years later! And yet there are also victories as the erroneous 1512 obstruction charges are dropped in many cases. We are watching a huge realignment of big voices in American politics, and the shift is a blow to the current regime. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What You Need to Know is it’s debate night in America, and the contrast between JD Vance and Tim Walz couldn’t be clearer. From worker strikes to turmoil across the world, the American people know we need clear leadership. Watch the contrast between the candidates grow more stark. Even the left’s polling can’t hide the trend toward Trump and Vance that you’re seeing now in Michigan and across the country. Jeff Clark, former double U.S. Assistant Attorney General and respected attorney, talks about the updates of special counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump. Smith has “special filing” of 180 pages that are under seal until 10 days before the election. It may be positioned as an “October Surprise” against Donald Trump, but the timing is far from surprising. But after this, will a new Trump Administration really bring accountability against Lawfare? John Schlafly, co-author of the weekly Schlafly Report, talks about the latest installment of the Schlafly Report coming this week. They also discuss the massive dockworkers strikes that could bring our economy to a standstill. What are the political implications ahead of November and what does this collective bargaining disagreement do to our nation? John brings us perspective. Cynthia Hughes, President of the Patriot Freedom Project, gives an update on the cases against January 6 defendants and the work to support their families. The Biden Department of Justice is still arresting people for misdemeanors now nearly four years later. It’s terrible. Also look for a very special reveal of a beautiful and unique auction item tonight on an X Spaces with @FreeStateWill! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
WYNK: There’s a soft underbelly to the Kamala Harris boom - I have been saying this since she became the nominee. She was propped up by the media, but now that the excitement has died down, we can see that she does not have very much going for her. Now, with RFK endorsing Trump, many ethnic Catholic Americans are switching over to Trump. The teamsters are now in favor of Trump, and the democrats are worried. Kamala Harris has nothing in common with the everyday working American. The fact that the teamsters made public that 60% of them support Trump tells you everything you need to know. The Amish, college fraternities, and black males are moving to Trump, registering to vote and getting ready to put Trump in office. Kamala Dukakis is tanking. John Schlafly, co-author of the weekly Schlafly Report, joins Ed to give a preview of this week’s column about how Bide and Harris are using Zelensky as a campaign prop. After Dick Cheney’s endorsement of VP Harris, it is clear that she is the warmonger candidate. Tim Hale, January 6 patriot and representative for the Patriot Freedom Project, joins Ed to discuss how the felony charge against him is likely to be dropped. After SCOTUS ruled that the 1512 charge was being used improperly in the felony charges against J6 defendants. Hale reflects on the lawfare attacks against him and other January 6 protestors, and what can change going forward. Col. John Mills (Ret.), author of War Against the Deep State and The Nation Will Follow, joins Ed to discuss the election. He discusses his greatest fears about the election, and how important it is to get people behind the counter to ensure a fair election. Volunteer to be a poll officer! He gives his prediction on the election, and how we will not know who has really won until January.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
WYNK: Americans are being hunted. Donald Trump has faced two assassination attempts now. The American people feel like the left is hunting them down. This is deeply troubling! Right after the would-be assassin was identified and fended off, the whole narrative machine starts attacking Donald Trump and JD Vance. People feel like they are targeted now. From Latin Mass Catholics to January 6 protestors, the regime is hunting down American citizens. At the same time, it privileges illegal migrants. There is now an unholy alliance between big government and big media. I call it the narrative machine. They are spreading lies, and fomenting attacks on the American people. Cynthia Hughes, President of the Patriot Freedom Project, joins Ed to discuss recent coverage of January 6 and the way it plays into today’s politics. Cynthia explains how, for the most part, the mainstream media spins the coverage. Some are covering it well. But very few cover what happens to the families of the defendants, both as they go to prison and as they get out. John Schlafly, co-author of the weekly Schlafly Report, joins Ed to discuss the hunting of Americans by the left and the regime. John discusses the threats and violence his mother, Phyllis Schlafly, faced throughout her career. But, like Donald Trump, the threat of bodily harm did not deter her from continuing on her cause. They also discuss how the narrative regime is fomenting aggression in recent years. Wrap Up: Government is targeting traditional Christians.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
WYNK: Everybody has recognized that Harris’s polling was boosted by her new candidacy. Now, she’s back down to where Biden was before he dropped out, and the polls are not as much about the actual numbers, but rather about the trend lines. Harris’s polls are trending down. Harris has more in her campaign coffers than Trump, but not by that much! In addition, hear Ed’s predictions about the debate. John Schlafly, co-author of the weekly Schlafly Report, joins Ed to discuss this week’s column: San Francisco Shooting Highlights Kamala’s Policies. John and Ed also discuss what to look out for during the Trump-Harris debate. They talk about Kamala Harris’s record. Todd Bensman, National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, gives us an update from his latest piece Progress Report: Has Panama Closed the Notorious ‘Darien Gap’ Mass Migration Route to the U.S. Border as Promised? Todd discusses with Ed the current state of mass migration, as well as how mass migration plays into the election. Gordon Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China, China Is Going To War, and most recently Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America, joins Ed to discuss how he consults with the armed forces regardless of which party is in power, and why we should ensure we are strong enough to take on China in case we get into conflict. In his new book, Plan Red, he discusses how Xi Jinping will soon see the end is close and risk everything for world domination.

On Lex Fridman’s podcast, Trump mentioned that he was up in all the swing states. The Harris campaign would say the same thing. You can take this to the bank: do not believe the polls. The point of polling numbers for the candidates is to fundraise, and the media will always put forward the polls that make the election look close. If the election were not close, nobody would be watching the news to stay up to date! The media controls the flow of information so they can have the horse race and rake in the money. The press is over-sampling Democrats and under-sampling Republicans. There’s a reason campaigns are not using the media polls. They don’t tell us anything true. Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project, expresses that he does not fear bar complaints or other lawfare attacks from the left. Davis gives the lay of the land on the lawfare President Donald Trump faces. Jack Smith keeps losing, but he keeps coming back for more. John Schlafly, co-author of the Phyllis Schlafly Report, talks about their latest column San Francisco Shooting Highlights Kamala’s Policies. There’s a lot to talk about in Kamala Harris’s early years, and the record is just as radical as now. The results in San Francisco, John says, from her liberal ideology are the same that will happen nationwide. Americans should say no to putting her in the White House.

What You Need to Know is in the past two weeks Jack Posobiec exposed the record and background of previous vice presidential nominee, Josh Shapiro, virtually knocking him out of the running. Mike Cernovich exposed the now vice presidential nominee, Tim Walz, for stolen valor where he claimed to have engaged in combat which turned out not to be the case. Americans should be grateful like Mike Cernovich and Jack Posebiec who are exposing the insanity in the political realm. Special guest Jeff Clark, former double U.S. Assistant Attorney General and respected attorney, joins Ed to talk about the legal battles he's embroiled in and the indictment against President Trump in Georgia. Plus, Joe Biden has proposed reforms to the Supreme Court, specifically to the amount of years a justice can serve. This proposition would allow a justice to serve 18 years before becoming a “senior justice” where they would not have a seat in appellate jurisdiction cases. Jeff points out that Article III of the Constitution gives Supreme Court Justices lifetime tenure. Tiffany Justice, cofounder of Moms for Liberty, joins Ed to talk about the 40th Anniversary of Phyllis Schlafly’s Child Abuse in the Classroom and how there is more and more social-emotional learning where students are being fed ideas that shouldn’t be discussed in schools. Tiffany talks about how the Pupil Protections Act is being broken all the time in schools across the nation. Plus in a double-segment she discusses the Paris Olympic games, where an LGBT activist director used the opening Ceremonies to promote blatant anti-Christian mockery. Billions of people — families and kids — across the world love watching the Olympics, making this particularly damaging to children. Also, remember to take a look at the Moms for Liberty Summit August 29th-September 1st in Washington DC. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What You Need To Know is the Venezuelan election is largely recognized as rigged. Venezuela uses modern election systems similar to many other countries in the world and if it is an issue there, then it could be an issue anywhere that uses a similar system under a corrupt political elite. Also, presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is on the clock for deciding who her running mate will be. Eric Holder, the number one guy for Obama, is in charge of Kamala’s VP vetting. Kamala is not the person making the final decision—it's Obama. Special guest Jeff Clark, former double U.S. Assistant Attorney General and respected attorney, joins Ed to talk about the legal battles he's embroiled in and the indictment against President Trump in Georgia.

What You Need to Know is Joe Biden was pushed out, not because he got tired of running for President or because his support dried up. He was pushed out because the rest of the political class decided it was time to shove him away. The wrinkle that nobody understands is that they needed to skip over Kamala Harris. Todd Bensman, National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, gives us an update from his latest piece Kamala Harris won’t fix Biden’s open border — she doesn’t even think illegal immigration is a crime. The Democrats’ heir-apparent has thrown in with all the the most extreme, militant, hard-left folks you can get when it comes to our border. Find more of his work at ToddBensman.com. Dr. Ted Malloch, author, professor, and CEO, joins to talk about his latest piece in OANN, The Oppo Report on Faux Queen Kamala.

What You Need to Know is it’s a smart move for the RNC to highlight non-traditional voices. Of course Amber Rose and the Teamsters president aren’t “conservatives.” They don’t understand or agree with all of our values, but they HAVE finally recognized that the left is lying to them and doesn’t value them. They’re ready to leave and we should say bring it on and bring them in! Turning these voices away doesn’t bring people into the movement or send us to electoral victory so we can govern rightly. Ken Abramowitz, author of The Multifront War, joins Ed to discuss his new article Russia says US is responsible for deadly Ukrainian attack on Crimea. The article talks about how the United States is using Ukraine to undermine Russian security. Ken talks about how he believes that we are in World War 3 that is fueled by multiple types of warfare. Our foreign enemies have infiltrated the United States by sending paid “activists” through the southern border which is demographic warfare. Ken says that our adversaries are using all seven types of warfare against the United States. Savethewest.com Robert Bork, President of the Antitrust Education Project, joins Ed to discuss antitrusts. Consumer welfare standards were born with antitrust enforcement which aims to take out big corporations to replace them with smaller less efficient alternatives. The Democrats are ramping up their antitrust enforcement in agriculture using the DOJ to come after big companies who are in business with small farmers. Robert predicts they are doing this in an attempt to show that it wasn’t the Biden administration's terrible policy and spending that caused inflation. Wrap Up: We the People must VOTE.

What You Need to Know is Fight, Fight, Fight. We must fight for America. We must fight for We the People. We must fight for the Truth. In the face of an assassination this week, Donald Trump showed bold leadership and the face of pure hatred from the left. The Narrative Machine has been successful in fanning the flames of hate and violence. But the combination of a Trump-Vance ticket will be our best move to fight for America this fall. Jared Klickstein, author of the book, Crooked Smile: What It Took to Escape a Decade of Homelessness, Addiction, & Crime, joins Ed to talk about his experiences he had during his days of addiction and homelessness. Jared points out that we are going at this issue in the wrong way and policies have only encouraged people to continue their ways. Fentanyl, according to Jared, is heroin on steroids and it has completely replaced it on the streets. Jared now helps people that were in his same situation in various recovery programs, and the shared experience helps him connect with these people to put them on the track of sobriety. George Landrith, president of Frontiers of Freedom and author of Let Freedom Ring…Again: Can Self-Evident Truths Save America From Further Decline?, joins Ed to talk about the optimism he has that our country can be corrected and become, once again, the land of the free. Quality of life has declined and the democrat party has veered so far left that lifelong blue voters are beginning to analyze and question the things being done.

What You Need to Know is about Missouri’s great grassroots win at the RNC credentialing committee today! After a long and hard fight, the conservative grassroots warriors of Missouri won unanimous victory for the reinstatement of the duly elected Missouri slate of delegates and alternates. Just like Phyllis Schlafly taught us, they were armed and ready with information, a PR campaign, and the relentless spirit to fight in the system for victory. We must always be organized and ready to fight and obtain victory — not just right on the issues.

What You Need to Know is Joe Biden will not yield the nomination and the democrats are losing their mind. Unless he gives up the nomination there the democrat party will not be able to remove and replace him. The most likely scenario is Kamala will be “promoted” as the nominee by mainstream media even if Joe doesn’t step aside. Trump is pulling away in the polls to the point where it doesn’t make remote sense for democrats to keep him on the ticket.

What You Need to Know is the Republican platform has been drafted for the national convention taking place next week. Trump was heavily involved in the platform by receiving drafts and making his own recommendations, which has not happened since Abraham Lincoln. The 2024 platform has been shaved down to just 16 pages and didn’t have the typical influence of special interest. George Landrith President of Frontiers of Freedom and author of Let Freedom Ring…Again: Can Self-Evident Truths Save America From Further Decline?, joins Ed to talk about the optimism he has that our country can be corrected and become, once again, the land of the free.

Kenneth says we’re already in World War 3 — not only because of the disputes we are involved in overseas, but also because our foreign enemies have agents working for them in the U.S.! The Hamas attack on Israel, one of greatest allies, last year could be marked as the start of this new world war. Hamas is a proxy of Iran, working with China and Russia, Abramowitz says.

What You Need to Know is both major U.S. political parties are gearing up for the national conventions where they will draft and adopt a new party platform. The Democrat and Republican party have diverged from each other over the past few decades. In contrast to the Republican party, the Democrat party will adopt many radical planks to their platform because of the radical factions within, but when it comes to upholding those issues the Democratic party ignores their platform because it isn’t why their voters vote for them.
