- 3697Biden’s Big Afghan BoondoggleOn his last day guest hosting this week, Producer Andrew tackles an action-packed, wall-to-wall Friday news cycle where the ongoing boondoggle in Afghanistan is dominating the international conversation. He walks through the original intent of the mission laid out over two decades ago before unpacking exactly what went wrong and why we didn’t pull out of the mess sooner. He also poses the question asked by Barack Obama’s own SecDef—is Joe Biden an “effective Commander-In-Chief?” What we’re witnessing now proves resoundingly that the answer is ‘No.’ And as all that transpired abroad, troubling new data is revealed at home courtesy of the US Census Bureau. PLUS—a leaked tape from a Biden official who admits that the border crisis is far worse than they are leading us to believe.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Compelling answers from both the Catholic and Jewish perspective are in store for you. All of that, PLUS–an extended conversation on the urgent need for a resurgence in classical education, how the left is always in search of a new transformative movement to get behind, and so much more.

- 3699Mandate Madness—A Special Frontlines EpisodeProducer Andrew is joined by grassroots organizers and activists in Easter Washington who are hosting a rally in their hometown to start fighting back against Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee's top down edicts controlling local school districts. Exposing a new front in the fight at local school boards, in this instance at least, Emma and Shari Bartels are going public since their local school board is completely hamstrung from making any real decisions. Next, producer Andrew talks to a Phoenix-area nurse who has been strongly "encouraged" to shut up online about her anti-mandate views...or else. A position all too familiar to too many Americans, this nurse is willing to speak out rather than be cowed or silenced into submission.

- 3700The GOP's Fear of Power EXPLAINEDCharlie has his eyes on Mike Lindell's Cyber Symposium in South Dakota, as the symposium lays out the theoretical and ideological ground work for Lindell's major claims ahead of the final day, day three, on Thursday. Also, Charlie asks the question: Are things getting better? If not, why not? Also, why are conservative so afraid to use the power voters elected them to wield? Why are Republicans so afraid to talk about voter integrity? Why are they so afraid to weild the power necessary to fix election integrity? Answering these questions are at the heart of the base's frustration in recent years and the catalyst for the changing priorities and passions of conservative voters.
