A Conservative podcast about breaking news, politics, and culture.

In 2017, the U.S. intelligence community claimed with “high confidence” that Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign to help Donald Trump win the presidency. That conclusion fueled years of investigations, media hysteria, and deep public distrust. But newly declassified documents reveal something shocking: the entire judgment was based on one vague sentence from a single human source, so unclear that CIA officers said, “Five people read it five different ways.” Even worse, critical intelligence that contradicted the narrative was buried. One officer said, “We were not given the chance to offer that input.” Another admitted, “There was pressure to make sure the Trump conclusion stuck.” This wasn’t intelligence. It was manipulation. And now, the truth is finally on paper.

Zohran Mamdani isn’t offering bold solutions, he’s peddling failed ideologies. His vision of rent freezes, government-run grocery stores, and defunded police departments isn’t just economically illiterate, it’s historically disastrous. From Soviet supermarkets to Venezuela’s ration lines, we’ve seen what happens when government replaces markets and ideology replaces reality. If New York hands the reins to a self-proclaimed socialist, it won’t just flirt with collapse, it’ll sprint toward it.

Mass immigration is often championed by progressives as a sign of tolerance and compassion. Yet Europe's current reality, sharply rising crime, eroding cultural identity, and destabilized communities, tells a different story. America must urgently reexamine its immigration policies through the lens of conservative values: individual responsibility, adherence to the rule of law, and patriotic assimilation. If we neglect these fundamental principles, we risk repeating Europe's disastrous mistakes, undermining the very fabric that makes America exceptional.
