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.

On this episode of the podcast, Amy Nelson shares the harrowing five-year ordeal her family endured after the FBI launched a federal criminal investigation into her husband, a former Amazon executive. Despite no charges ever being filed, the Department of Justice seized their assets, including $7 million, devastating their family financially, mentally, and emotionally. Backed by former federal prosecutors, Amazon pressed for charges of “honest services fraud” even though her husband had complied fully with his employment contract. Over the years the Nelsons fought back, spending over $4 million in legal fees, while corporate giants and government agencies closed ranks. Their story exposes a disturbing alliance between Big Tech and the federal government, raising serious questions about unchecked corporate influence, prosecutorial overreach, and the lack of accountability from top leaders. Amy now advocates for justice and systemic reform, determined to prevent other families from enduring similar abuses of power.

He makes the case for using citizen population instead of total population to ensure districts reflect real voting power. Meanwhile Secretary Gray details Wyoming’s ironclad election integrity system, from proof-of-citizenship requirements to robust voter list maintenance tools, and warns that federal reforms like the SAVE Act are essential to secure voter rolls nationwide.
