The Power of Purpose in Politics | 9/30/25

We begin with some observations on how Democrats are so much more united and willing to fight through a government shutdown than Republicans. Next, I offer some baseline concerns about Trump’s Gaza plan. While details are still murky, we have to make sure we don’t get sucked into a nation-building mission on behalf of some of the most violent Islamists on earth — no U.S. assets or money should be involved. We’re also joined by Shannon Everett, lifelong trucker and co-founder of American Truckers United, who updates us on his success in getting the federal and state governments to clamp down on foreigners being issued commercial driving licenses. He started as a lone voice in the wilderness raising awareness to the fact that such a large percentage of drivers were unqualified foreigners, many of whom were here illegally. Blue states and even some red states are giving licenses to illegal aliens without even documenting their proper names and birthdates! Shannon’s fight demonstrates that when you are truly committed to a cause with the right intentions, you can succeed in forcing policy changes at the highest levels. Learn more about your ad choices.
