On this episode of the podcast, Corey DeAngelis discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping education and why a free-market approach is key to success. The duo highlights First Lady Melania Trump’s Presidential AI Challenge — which awards up to $10,000 for AI-driven solutions while DeAngelis emphasizes the power of bottom-up innovation over top-down mandates.

The school choice advocate also points to schools like Alpha School in Austin, Texas, where students use AI for two hours a day and consistently achieve top national scores, as proof of what’s possible outside the control of the teachers’ unions. DeAngelis also makes the case for school choice to empower parents and explores how AI can boost vocational training, especially in farming, to strengthen rural education and even bolster national security.

On this episode of the podcast, Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie examines the troubling crime landscape in Chicago and other major U.S. cities. Representative McCombie points to a combination of low police staffing and woke liberal policies — including zero cash bail and sanctuary city laws as drivers of the crisis. Although violent crime is down slightly, Chicago still ranks among the most violent cities per capita and remains above the five-year average. House Minority Leader McCombie called out Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor J.B. Pritzker for refusing to seek federal assistance and instead shifting blame to President Trump.

On this episode of the podcast Tristan Leavitt, President of Empower Oversight, breaks down the groundbreaking settlements reached between the Department of Justice and 10 courageous whistleblowers. Among them are Garret O'Boyle, Steven Friend, Marcus Allen, Zachary Schoffstall, Monica Shillingburg, and Michael Zummer — FBI agents and employees who faced retaliation and discrimination under the Biden administration’s weaponization of the security clearance process.

Leavitt exposes the grueling fight to reinstate clearances, the devastating toll on families and careers, and how the system was used to silence dissent. He also highlights the pivotal role of Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) in securing these victories — outcomes that have allowed some whistleblowers to return to their posts at the FBI.

Head also pressed President Trump on several issues during his Cabinet Meeting held on August 26, 2025. Hear about her exclusive conversation and line of questioning for our Commander-in-Chief.
