Less than a week after Vice President Kamala Harris claimed that “it’s up to the American people to stop him” at the presidential debate, the Secret Service thwarted a second assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach.

Ryan Wesley Routh faces two gun charges, but Americans are blaming politicians and major news outlets for pushing the overheated rhetoric that encouraged this behavior. The Left likewise raised concerns about dangerous rhetoric from Trump after he accused Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, of eating cats and dogs.

Trump White House’s Meme Machine—and the Strategy Behind It 55:18

för 4 dagar sedan55:18

55:18

Take the issue of immigration - arguably President Donald’s Trump number one policy priority. The Trump administration has released multiple videos of the deportation of illegal aliens set to popular songs like “Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye” and “Closing Time.” The White recently joined the Studio Ghibli craze and created its own AI generated image of Trump and Vice President JD Vance, with the caption, "We do not ask permission from far-left Democrats before we deport illegal immigrants." The White House social media strategy appears aimed at unapologetic authenticity, even on personal issues. On Monday, the White House shared an image of the vice president with his mom in the briefing room as the two celebrated 10 years of sobriety for Bev Vance. Also on today's show, we discuss the recent “Hands Off” protest in Washington, D.C. and the attack on a pro-life activist. Plus, McMichael offers some dating advice to young women following her recent engagement.

Trump 2.0’s American Dream Agenda is Emblematic of This Congresswoman’s Cinderella Story 57:17

för 11 dagar sedan57:17

57:17

What a difference two months can make. Since President Donald Trump took office, Rep. Harriet Hageman says she has seen “a lot of hope” among Americans. “We are in the middle of our Renaissance, and when I'm home, I feel that,” Hageman, R-Wyo., said. America is a “land of opportunity,” she continued, explaining she is seeing a spirit of freedom and optimism come out “of the Trump administration.” By contrast, the Wyoming congresswoman says, “[w]hat comes out of the Biden administration and Democrat authority is control and dictatorship and telling us that everything is bad.” Hageman has experienced the rich opportunities America offers firsthand. When Hageman’s parents brought her home from the hospital, they had five children under the age of six, were $200,000 in debt, and only had $35 in their bank account. The ranch home where Hageman lived with her parents and four older siblings as a small child did not have a telephone and initially did not even have electricity. “We were pretty isolated, but we were raised where I was driving when I was four years old to help dad feed [the animals],” Hageman said. “We were riding horses, we were moving cows, we were fixing fences, we were all very engaged in the ranching business because you had to be. I think it's one of the reasons that a lot of ranching families had lots of kids because that was the cheap labor and that was no exception in my family.” Hageman went on to attend a community college in Wyoming and spent a couple years judging livestock before going on to law school and having a successful career as a trial attorney for 34 years. In 2021, she announced her run for Congress. “The reason that I made the decision to run for Congress was that because Wyoming only has one representative, I think we really need to make it count. We need to focus on what is in the best interest of Wyoming,” Hageman said. In 2022, Hageman defeated Republican incumbent and outspoken Trump critic Rep. Liz Cheney, and won reelection in 2024. “I did not feel like my predecessor was here on behalf of Wyoming,” Hagemand said, referring to Cheney. “I felt that she was here on behalf of herself, the military industrial complex, and then near the end, the effort to destroy president Trump and anyone who was one of his supporters.” Hageman joins “Problematic Women” to share her journey to Congress and discuss the changes she has seen to the country since Trump took office on Jan. 20. Also on today’s show, we discuss how the Trump administration is restoring safety to America’s streets through an aggressive crackdown on crime, and how the president’s policies are rebuilding patriotism across the nation.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who’s the Most Problematic Woman of Them All?? 53:13

för 18 dagar sedan53:13

53:13

Conservatives struggled to engage culture for years, and in some cases, willingly left the space to the radical left. Because of this, Adrienne Gray says she “always felt like sort of the black swan here in the conservative movement.” Many conservatives “condemn pop culture, we suppress it a lot, because we don't, again, align with a lot of the values and the activism that goes on with celebrities, but I believe that God created the arts to enjoy,” Gray told The Daily Signal. Gray, a conservative pop culture expert and host of the “ A Daily Pop ,” says what while the political right has become better at engaging culture, she aims to be part of a “new wave” that allows conservatives to establish themselves in the field of arts and culture. Trends within entertainment also point to a growing desire from consumers for content that is not aimed at pushing a leftist political agenda. Disney’s recently released live action “ Snow White ” was fraught with tension over the “politically correct” way to portray the seven dwarfs, ultimately resulting in a CGI version of the dwarfs that contributed to film critics giving the movie a 42% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, actress Rachel Zegler, who plays Snow White, touted the film’s focus on the independent strength of women while downplaying the story's classic romantic storyline. The film earned $87.3 million globally during opening weekend, falling short of the film’s $100 opening weekend goal, and far short of other classic Disney princess film's box office success. During opening weekend in 2015, "Cinderella" earned $132.5 million worldwide opening weekend, and in 2017, "Beauty and the Beast" earned $350 million. On this week’s edition of “ Problematic Women ,” we share Gray’s conversation on the role conservatives can play within pop culture, and discuss why “Snow White” failed to meet viewer’s expectations. Also on today’s show, we discuss President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at dismantling the Department of Education and the president’s actions to freeze federal funding to Planned Parenthood. Plus, we bid farewell to long-time “Problematic Women” co-host Kristen Eichamer as she takes on a new adventure at the Department of Commerce. Learn more about your ad choices.

Payton McNabb: Women’s Sports, Delta Zeta, and the Cost of Truth 58:38

för 25 dagar sedan58:38

58:38

It would have felt hypocritical to not speak up, Payton McNabb said, remembering how nervous she felt to confront the man standing in the women’s bathroom on her college campus. For months, McNabb had been advocating for the protection of women’s sports and encouraging other women to do the same. She knew the price of surrendering female only spaces to men after a man spiked a kill shot into her face during a volleyball game when she was just 17 and a senior in high school. The incident left her with a serious concussion, permanently ending her dreams of playing collegiate sports. So, when McNabb encountered a man in her college bathroom in the spring of 2024, she pulled out her phone, hit record, and ask him what he was doing in the ladies bathroom. McNabb shared the video on social media, and it quickly gained the attention of a wide audience, including her sorority, Delta Zeta. After meeting with Delta Zeta leadership, McNabb was told she violated the sorority’s “anti-bullying policy,” and was kicked out of the sorority. Furthermore, the man McNabb confronted filed a Title IX complaint against her at her college and she spent months fighting back against that complaint, but ultimately prevailed and was cleared of all charges. McNabb, who is barely 20, has already learned there can be a high cost to truth. McNabb, an ambassador of Independent Women's Forum, joins “ Problematic Women ” to share her story in her own words. McNabb discusses the challenge of forgiving the man who injured her on the volleyball court, the pain of losing her Delta Zeta community, and what is next as she continues to advocate for the protection of women’s sports and spaces. Also on today’s show, Emma Waters , Heritage Foundation Tech Policy Center policy analyst, shares a recent social media post from Elon Musk’s son, who now identifies as a woman, claiming that his “assigned sex at birth was a commodity” since he was conceived through in vitro fertilization. Waters discusses the moral questions IVF raises, and how the process stands to negatively affect society at large. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Feminine Rage: Blake Lively Saga and Tone Death Democrats 50:04

för 5 weeks sedan50:04

50:04

March is Women’s History Month, but some leftist influencers are encouraging women to use the month to express “feminine rage.” And some of this “rage” was on full display recently as many female Democrats refused to stand or clap during President Donald Trump’s recent address to Congress. The leftist leaders sat in pink to recognize women, even though they had just voted to block a bill that would protect women’s sports. A few female Democrats took this notion of “rage” it a step further, issuing a cringy “choose your fighter” video on TikTok. On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” Janae Stracke, vice president of outreach and advocacy at The Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action for America, joins the show to discuss the effect of Democrats recent actions on women, and the ongoing budget fight on Capitol Hill. Also on today’s show, we catch up on the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama and discuss the likely TRUE story behind the fiasco. Enjoy the show! Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump’s Big Moments: Democrats Protest, DJ Daniel, and Laken Riley with Natalie Winters 52:14

för 6 weeks sedan52:14

52:14

President Donald Trump spoke to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night, declaring “America is back.” Trump’s speech came just six weeks after he was sworn in as the 47th president, and while it was not an official State of the Union address, the night generated all the pomp and circumstance of such an address. The president’s speech highlighted the stories of Americans who have benefited from his policies and who were directly or indirectly harmed by Biden administration policies. Republicans stood and cheered all through the night and Democrats, on the other hand, held up signs reading “false” during much of Trump’s address and refused to stand for Trump’s invited guests—including D.J. Daniel, a child with brain cancer Trump made an honorary member of the Secret Service. On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” Natalie Winters, co-host of Steve Bannon's “War Room” and a White House correspondent, joins the show as we discuss the biggest moments from Trump’s speech to the joint session of Congress.

Tampons, Cycle Syncing, and Guns: Female CEOs Tell All 54:22

för 7 weeks sedan54:22

54:22

Macy Maxson did not intend to become a lightning rod pushing back on the gender ideology agenda that has infiltrated so much of society, even feminine hygiene products. But when Maxon founded Garnuu, a tampon subscription company, in 2022, she wanted to affirm biological reality. “From the beginning,” Maxson says she decided her company would stand firm on the fact “that only women can get periods.” After Maxson launcher Garnuu, Tampax started using transgender activists, such as Dylan Mulvaney, to promote its products. Maxson said she watched as other tampon companies began moving away from feminine branding and word choice in product promotion, but Garnuu branded itself as a “girls only club.” That simple statement cost Maxson some customers who claimed stating that only women get periods was not loving. “We're just calling it a ‘girls only club’ and it's just truth,” Maxson said. “How is that not loving? But OK, whatever, so then I just ran with it.” While some took offense to Maxson’s firm position on biology, many more celebrated the way Garnuu upholds the dignity of women, leading to the small companies' growth. Garnuu customers are so “supportive” that Maxson says she quit her 9-5 job and is leading the rapidly growing company full time. Maxson joins “Problematic Women” at the Conservative Political Action Conference to discuss the challenges and rewards of launching a company, and her commitment to truth. Maxson also explains the value of cycle syncing, a process in which women strategically work with their bodies as hormone levels rise and fall during their cycle. Also on today’s show, Alexo Athletica CEO Amy Robbins joins “Problematic Women.” Alexo Athletica is a conceal carry conducive athletic clothing brand.

Drill Down: How Trump's Ditching the Green Energy Craze 1:08:57

för 8 weeks sedan1:08:57

1:08:57

On day one, President Donald Trump began dismantling the Biden administration's costly energy agenda and replacing it with practical and sustainable energy solutions. Trump is restoring “balance” to American energy policy , according to Gabriella Hoffman, director of the Center for Energy and Conservation at the Independent Women’s Forum. The Trump administration is taking steps to increase U.S. energy production through fossil fuels , such as coal, oil, and gas, abandoning the previous administration’s green energy agenda. The president has also acted to restore common sense to America’s energy and environmental regulatory agenda, signing an executive order to end the forced use of paper straws, and discontinuing the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s investigation into gas stoves. The decisions made in Washington, D.C. over energy production and environmental regulations don’t stay there, they affect the price of goods at the store, gas pump, and even the availability of animal products. Hoffman joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to debunk some inaccurate but common claims about sustainable energy sources. She also explains the role of conservation in furthering a flourishing society.

Trump, DOGE, and DC: What We're Swiping Right For 53:19

för 9 weeks sedan53:19

53:19

“There’s no time like the present,” is an adage President Donald Trump appears to have taken to heart. Trump has been in office for less than a month and has successfully managed to keep every political journalist in America working overtime to keep up with the slew of actions. Open Google Maps on your phone and zoom out. The Gulf of Mexico is now The Gulf of America. Biden administration DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is long gone, replaced by Secretary Kristi Noem, who this week “clawed back” $59 million FEMA allocated to house illegal aliens in luxury hotels in New York City. Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is exposing waste in D.C. and actively shrinking a federal government that did nothing but balloon for the past four years. So far, all of Trump’s cabinet picks, including Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have been confirmed, and all have pledged to restore common sense to the American government. This Valentine’s Day, “Problematic Women” is breaking down the biggest stories we are “swiping right” on. For all our readers who never had to use a dating app, you are blessed, and “swiping right” refers to letting someone know you are interested in starting a conversation. While Democrats might not feel the love in Washington, Americans largely appear pleased with the barrage of action coming out of the Trump administration. According to a recent CBS News/YouGov poll, Trump has a 53% approval rating and 70% of Americans say Trump is doing what he promised he would do. Catch this week’s edition of Problematic Women as we break down what Trump actions we are “swiping right” for.

When Fighting to End Radical Indoctrination is Considered ‘Problematic’ 29:14

för 9 weeks sedan29:14

29:14

A return to common sense and traditional values remains the theme of the Trump administration. In his first two weeks, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders aimed at ending the radical indoctrination in K-12 schooling and dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs. This fight to preserve the innocence of children is not new. Bonnie Wallace, a Texas native and Llano High School mother, has been advocating to protect children against unsolicited inappropriate content since 2021. As a lifelong reader and member of the Llano County Library Advisory Board, Wallace said she was shocked to discover books for children as young as 12 contained sexual content, heavy drug use, and references to suicide. She says that books found in Texas middle schools, high schools, and children’s sections included instructions on how to best ingest heroine, guidance on using apps like Grindr, and instructions on obtaining abortions without parental knowledge. Wallace explains that these same books, and others, appear on a list of 10,800 titles banned by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and she questions why books banned for prisoners are available in the children’s section of libraries. Even authors like Colleen Hoover have also addressed age appropriateness of their books. On Goodreads , Hoover stated that her books Verity , Too Late , and Ugly Lov e are not recommended for teens due to the adult nature of their content. Wallace continues to speak before school boards, encouraging them to relocate books with inappropriate content to adult sections. Since she began advocating for these changes, the Llano County Library removed 17 books due to content concerns. In response, seven Library patrons and at least one librarian have since filed lawsuits against the Llano County Library. Arguing that the removals violate their First Amendment rights. As of September 2024, a final ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is pending. Wallace joins “Problematic Women” to discuss her fight to our children from inappropriate content.

Winning: US and Israel 56:24

The relationship between Israel and the U.S. is not one of charity, according to national security expert Victoria Coates. Over the years, the “material assistance” the U.S. has provided Israel has shifted from largely being economic to “become security assistance,” Coates, vice president of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, told the “Problematic Women” podcast. “This is a mutual investment in our safety, and that has borne great dividends. It's not stuff we can talk about on the podcast, but I can just assure the audience that those are real.” The Oct. 7th terrorist attack on Israel was not only a national security failure on the part of Israel, but also the U.S., according to Coates, who argues that the partnership keeps America’s adversaries in the Middle East at bay. “There's a reason the Iranians call us the big Satan and the Israelis the little Satan,” Coates said. “And everyone’s going to go after the little Satan first. But if they get the little Satan, guess who's next?” The relationship between Israel and the U.S. extends beyond the importance of the physical safety and survival of both nations and also includes a culture war - and issue Coates addresses in her new book, “ The Battle For The Jewish State: How Israel―And America―Can Win .” Coates joins “Problematic Women” to explain the history behind America’s friendship with Israel, and how the two nations can work together toward mutual national security and cultural interests, and to discuss President Donald’s Trump’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Also on today’s show, we discuss why the Trump administration is dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Plus, we break down our favorite red carpet looks from the Grammys.

National Report Card: Reminder of Why DC Needs to Change 52:09

för 11 weeks sedan52:09

52:09

The policies coming out of Washington, D.C. have the potential to affect Americans who have not even been born yet, whether for good or bad. The latest National Report Card from the National Assessment of Educational Progress pains an abysmal picture of education across the U.S. The report card is published every two years and assesses the average reading and math scores for fourth and eighth graders. The report showed significant declines for students when it was published in 2022, but the decline was somewhat expected in the wake of school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic . But the assessment completed in 2024 and published Wednesday show little to no improvement for student’s math and reading proficiency. In 2024, 39% percent of fourth grade students performed at or above the proficient math level that is set by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. This is 3% higher compared to 2022, but 2 percentage points lower than in 2019. Eighth grade math scores are at 28% proficiency, which is about the same as 2022 scores, but eight points lower compared to 2019. Reading scores showed an even greater decline than math. In 2024, 31% of fourth grade students performed at or above the proficient level on the reading assessment. This is a 2 percentage point decline compared to 2022 and 4 percentage points lower than 2019, according to the report card. And 30% of eighth grade students performed at or above the proficient level in 2024, which was not significantly different from 2022, but lower compared to 2019. But not all the news coming out of the government is negative for our kids right now. Take the confirmation hearing of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy, who President Donald Trump has tapped to head the Department of Health and Human Services, testified before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday. He argued that the U.S. healthcare and food system needs to do a better job of keeping American’s healthy, and this can begin by taking practical steps to remove processed foods from school lunch programs. Or take the executive order Trump signed Tuesday to ban the use of federal dollars to fund or support irreversible transgender medical interventions for children. On this week’s edition of "Problematic Women," Madison Marino Doan, co-author of "Slacking: A Guide to Ivy League Miseducation," joins the show as we breakdown the ways the biggest pieces of news coming out of Washington could affect the next generation for years to come.

White House Reporter Gives Inside Scoop on Difference Between Trump and Biden! 54:24

för 12 weeks sedan54:24

54:24

White House reporter Reagan Reese says she had more interactions with President Donald Trump in just one day than she did with President Joe Biden over the year and a half she spent covering the Biden White House. It was not unusual for the Biden administration to “call a lid,” a term used to dismiss White House reporters at the end of the news day, around 4:00 p.m., according to Reese. If the first two days in office are any indication, Reese says she expects to be working much longer hours while Trump is in office. Even after leaving the White House at 7 p.m. Tuesday night, Reese, who has worked as The Daily Caller’s White House correspondent since August 2023, said Trump was still working in the Oval Office . Reese joins this week’s edition of "Problematic Women" to discuss the first 48 hours of the Trump administration and Trump’s interactions with the press since he was sworn in on Monday. Also on today’s show, we discuss the slew of executive orders Trump has already signed on issues ranging from securing the southern border to requiring some federal employees to return to in person work.

From California Democrats to Woke Military Policies, Trump Puts Left on Notice 47:44

för 13 weeks sedan47:44

47:44

California lawmakers appear almost as afraid of President-elect Donald Trump as they do of the wildfires that have raved 40,000 of their state. With fires still burning across Los Angeles County, California Democrats met to authorize $50 million in the state’s budget to “Trump proof” California. State Senate Budget Committee Chair Scott Wiener, a Democrat, on Monday said he will amend the legislation to designate $25 million to provide illegal aliens living in California with legal services to avoid deportation. Trump and Tom Homan, who Trump tapped to be his border czar, have pledged to launch mass deportations of illegal immigrants, beginning with criminal illegal aliens. “My GOP colleagues say we have to choose between helping LA recover from wildfires & protecting CA from Trump. But we can do both,” Wiener wrote on X . AccuWeather estimates the total damage and economic loss from the California wildfire to be between $250 billion and $275 billion. California Gov. Gavin Newsom has proposed at least $2.5 billion in emergency response funding in response to the fire. But California Democrats are not the only bracing for the changes set to take effect under a Trump administration. The U.S. military has also been put on notice regarding it’s DEI policies and previous vaccine mandates. If confirmed as Defense secretary, Pete Hegseth told senators during his hearing Tuesday that he will remove the woke agenda from the U.S. military and reinstate members of the military who were discharged for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. On this week’s edition of “ Problematic Women, ” we discuss the ways the incoming Trump administration is putting the radical left on notice and bringing accountability back to government. Plus, we discuss the left’s reaction to the news that Carrie Underwood will perform at Trump’s inauguration. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Plot Twist: Are Conservative Politics Shifting Culture? 1:03:22

för 14 weeks sedan1:03:22

1:03:22

It’s no secret that culture has heavily influenced politics over the years. Gay couples appeared in movies and TV shows long before the Supreme Court's legalization of same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015. Likewise, Marxist and socialist ideals have been glorified in Hollywood, making way for those ideas to be promoted by lawmakers in Washington. Now, conservative politics appear to be influencing culture in a way that has not been seen for some time. The political right watched in surprise Tuesday as Mark Zuckerberg , the chairman and CEO of Meta, Facebook's parent company, announced that Meta is embracing a free-speech model. Zuckerberg explained that Meta, which also includes Instagram, will end its use of “fact-checkers” and will instead move to a community-notes style of moderation, such as the one that the platform X currently uses. “The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech ,” Zuckerberg said in a video announcing the changes. “So, we’re going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms.” The shift doesn't stop there. Before the 2024 presidential election season, few cultural figures openly expressed conservative views, but now everyone from Elon Musk to actor Zachary Levi to filmmaker Justine Bateman are speaking out freely about the conservative policy views they support. On this week’s edition of “ Problematic Women ,” we examine some of the ways in which the 2024 election has already begun to affect American culture. Also on today's show, we discuss why Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chose to announces his resignation, the bipartisan passage in the House of the Laken Riley Act , and opine over the engagement of actress-singer Zendaya and actor Tom Holland.
