Summary

🎙️ The fellas should open a daycare—because apparently the easiest money in America is getting paid for childcare that doesn’t exist. Nick Shirley’s goes door-to-door in Minnesota: finding blacked-out windows, locked doors, no kids in sight, and big checks flowing anyway. We talk about how this kind of scheme doesn’t just rip off taxpayers—it also squeezes the real families. It’s embarrassing how local and national press frames this story, why “it’s just a few bad actors” doesn’t cut it, and why the incentives behind keeping this kind of grift alive. 🫏 Then, we recap the best 2025 Democratic faceplants and clips. From Kamala to Warren, Crockett to an unfortunate No Kings congresswoman - we show how messaging gets used as a shield by democrats. 🐘Then, Jayme Franklin joins the Progrum. We talk about her work in building The Conservateur and Sincerely American, what it’s like creating a space for conservative women in media. We also address how friendships—and real-life priorities like marriage, kids, and work—are a bigger part of the story than the usual press narrative. 00:00 — The Fellas Need to Get in on the Grift 02:03 — Nick Shirley’s Doing The Work Media Won’t 07:35 — Who Gets Hurt When Money Disappears 13:57 — Finding “Quality Learing” in MN 18:10 — Investigative Compilation from MN 20:04 — This System is Functioning as It Was Intended 22:07 — The New Tammany Hall 26:45 — Why “a few arrests” won’t fix this 34:11 — The DHS Shrug-fest 35:53 — Wisconsin Governor On Immigrants 37:15 — What Elizabeth Warren‘s Stumble S’ays about the Moment 38:08 — Jasmine Crockett’s Messaging Machine 41:46 — Kamala Doesn’t Pick Pete 46:51 — Jayme Franklin On building The Conservateur 53:05 — Why women’s media is so one-sided Our Sponsors: ➢Beverage America believes in the promise that makes this nation great.
