Summary

Ron Simmons discusses the government shutdown with Rep. Craig Goldman (R-Texas), who says Democrats already voted for an identical bill earlier this year. He also promotes a bill that would ensure that Congress is not paid during a government shutdown. Ron weighs in on the results of elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City, pointing out a key statistic that Republicans can use to their advantage in the 2026 midterms. Finally, Ron answers some viewer questions on faith, family, finance, and how to raise the next Allie Beth Stuckey. Email your questions to Ron at ⁠[email protected]⁠.

0:00.0	Every year, corporate insurers get richer while Americans pay more and get less.
0:04.6	Now their greed's broken the system, even shutting down our government to protect their taxpayer-funded profits.
0:09.8	And in this chaos, their schemes are finally being exposed.
0:13.0	Big insurance and their Democrat allies have rigged health care insurance against hardworking families.
0:19.0	Government bailouts, record profits, premiums climbing higher and higher,
0:22.8	it's a pattern America can't afford to ignore any longer. Conservatives must do more than hold the
0:27.5	line. We must fix it. Paid for by American Resolve Action. What do we make of America post-election,
0:35.2	obviously in New Jersey and Virginia and New York and elsewhere, there were some
0:39.1	disappointing outcomes of the races. It doesn't seem like the Democrat Party in the United States
0:45.3	has any moral limits. What does that mean for us? Should we just be pessimistic? Well, my dad,
0:51.9	who is always very optimistic, but also very practical, is here to break
0:56.3	all of that and so much more down for you today. This episode is brought to you by our friends at
1:01.9	Good Ranchers. It's good ranchers.com code Alley. You'll get a discount when you use my code. That's

1:34.3	She's actually coming up in January. One of the things she's doing not able to be here today, PBS, if you can believe it, PBS is going to have her on a show in January right around
1:47.7	March for Life Day is what we're thinking. So that's going to be really exciting. I know she'll
1:52.4	talk more about it coming up, but that's super, super exciting. And PBS, you know, it's pretty rare
1:57.5	for them to have a conservative on. So that's going to be an exciting time. But I'll tell you one thing. We're excited about today because, you know, it's pretty rare for them to have a conservative on, so that's going to be an exciting time. But I tell you one thing, we're excited about today because, you know, I've hosted two or three of these before, but I've never had a guest on. We are very blessed today, though, to have a really good friend of mine. U.S. Congressman Craig Goldman is here today, and he represents the 12th District of Texas, right, Craig? Correct. Well, thank you for being here. Thanks for having me. I'm a huge fan of yours, but I'm a bigger fan of Alibus. As most people are that watch this and listen to this for sure, as they should be, and as her mother is. So that's totally okay. Yeah, I'm a bigger fan of her mother than you as well.
