A City in Crisis and the Power of Faith

Wednesday, July 8, 2026

In the heart of Manhattan, a 38-story building in Midtown was evacuated due to concerns of collapse, leaving residents and businesses in a state of uncertainty. As the city's infrastructure is put to the test, our host reflects on the fragility of life and the importance of faith. In a world where we often take our surroundings for granted, he shares a personal anecdote about the impermanence of things and the need to trust in a higher power.

This episode delves into the intersection of faith and work, exploring how our daily lives are a reflection of our values and priorities. A discussion with Dr. Joel Grossi delves into the biblical concept of work as a blessing, rather than a curse. They examine the example of Jesus, who worked as a carpenter, and how this informs our understanding of our own roles in the world. The conversation also touches on the importance of being good stewards of our time, talents, and resources.

In other news, a Democratic Socialist candidate in Maine has been accused of rape, leading to a heated debate about the party's stance on the issue. Our host weighs in on the situation, highlighting the need for accountability and the importance of voting for the best candidate in the primary election. He also discusses the potential benefits of a three-year bachelor's degree program, which could reduce the cost of higher education and make it more accessible to students.

The episode concludes with a discussion on the NATO summit in Turkey, where President Trump is pushing for European allies to increase their defense spending and take a stronger stance against Russia. Kevin talks to KT McFarland, a seasoned expert on international relations, about the complexities of the situation and the need for a unified approach to address the challenges facing the alliance.

The Next Great American Frontier

Monday, July 6, 2026

An Excerpt From: The Next Great American Frontier on Townhall.com

It was one of those moments you don't forget.

On Saturday, I had the privilege of joining a broadcast aboard the USS Intrepid. As classic warbirds took to the skies—followed and preceded by the most lethal fighting aircraft ever built—the entire spectacle spoke to me. Deeply.

Our ability to design the F/A-18, the F-22, and the F-35, launch them from sea and land, and watch them perform with breathtaking precision is one of the chief reasons evil tyrants around the globe think twice before testing America.

The fact that we use such innovation and overwhelming power in defense of freedom—and not for conquest—is a testament to both American military strength and American restraint.

But it also made me ask a different question.

How do we stay ahead of the rest of the world? How do we preserve that freedom not just for today, but for the next 50 or 100 years?

I believe a significant part of President Trump’s strategy answers that question in two words:

Energy dominance. Not energy independence. Energy dominance.

There’s a difference. Independence means meeting your own needs. Dominance means having so much energy that you shape the future for everyone else. President Trump understands that energy has become the world’s most valuable currency.

This weekend, the Marxist mayor of New York City was telling residents to keep their thermostats set at 78 degrees because, supposedly, it was the only way to protect the electrical grid. Meanwhile, his own air conditioning remained comfortably paid for, and his wife escaped the heat with a trip to Spain. The message was simple enough: you sacrifice… they’ll manage.

This Is America, FIFA

Monday, June 22, 2026

An Excerpt from This Is America, FIFA

There are a lot of things visitors should know before coming to America.

Tip your server.

Don’t stand in the middle of the sidewalk in Manhattan.

And for the love of all things holy, don’t try to tell Americans what flags they’re allowed to wave.

Apparently, nobody shared that last one with FIFA.

This week, Iranian fans attending World Cup events at SoFi Stadium showed up carrying the historic Lion and Sun flag — the symbol that represented Iran long before the Ayatollahs hijacked the country and turned it into a theocratic hostage situation with oil reserves.

And FIFA, in its infinite wisdom, decided this was a problem. Imagine that.

The regime that funds terror proxies, beats women, imprisons dissidents, hangs protesters, censors journalists, and spends its time threatening neighbors isn’t the problem.

The people carrying a flag opposing that regime are. Brilliant.

Only an international bureaucracy could arrive at a conclusion that stupid.

Let’s be clear about something.

The Lion and Sun flag isn’t some fringe symbol cooked up on social media six months ago. It represents a Persia and an Iran that existed long before the current regime. It is the banner carried by countless Iranian dissidents precisely because they reject what the Ayatollahs have done to their country.

That’s why the regime hates it. And that’s why FIFA should have kept its hands off it.

Instead, FIFA looked at a stadium full of people fleeing one of the most hateful regimes on earth and somehow concluded the problem was the people.

That’s not wisdom. That’s moral stupidity.

The Ayatollahs spend decades silencing opposition, and FIFA decides the opposition is who needs policing. The Ayatollahs are terrified of dissent, and FIFA practically volunteers to help manage it.

These People Are Nuts!

Thursday, June 18, 2026

An excerpt from These People Are Nuts! on Townhall.com

Three different high-profile people have pulled me aside over the last several days. All three conversations were off the record. All three involved people whose names you would know instantly. And all three were worked up about Donald Trump's apparent agreement with Iran.  

One called it appeasement. Another called it surrender. A third said Trump was giving away America's leverage for free.

I listened to all of them. I asked questions. I let them make their case. And when each conversation ended, I walked away thinking exactly the same thing: These people are nuts.

I don't say that lightly. These are accomplished people. Smart people. Influential people.

But on this issue? Nuts.

In fact, the more I thought about what they were saying, the more off balance I became. 

What has me off balance is how otherwise intelligent people can miss something this obvious. These are not stupid people. They're successful. They're respected. They've spent years around politics, diplomacy, and foreign policy. Yet somehow, they've convinced themselves that leverage should never actually be used. That's like spending years sharpening an axe and then refusing to swing it because you might dull the blade.

It's crazy.

One of them spent nearly 10 minutes explaining how Trump was giving away all of America's leverage. I kept waiting for him to explain what exactly he thought leverage was for.

To frame it? To put it in a trophy case? To admire it from a distance? The entire purpose of leverage is to use it. That's what makes this criticism so bizarre.

Iran didn't wake up one morning and decide to negotiate because the ayatollah had a change of heart. 

Iran came to the table because of pressure. Because of sanctions. Because of military realities. Because its options became increasingly limited. In other words, because leverage worked.

An American 250 Story

Tuesday, June 16, 2026

An Excerpt from An American 250 Story on Townhall.com

As the basket dropped to tie the game 83-83, I gently woke my bride from the couch.

She had endured enough already.

The emotional swings. The blown coverages. The missed calls. The impossible shots by San Antonio. The first 95 percent of the game had been a stress test for even the most devoted Knicks fan, and somewhere around the middle of the third quarter, exhaustion finally overtook her.

But the final blows in this series were about to be traded. And she wasn’t missing this.

Playing what felt like five-on-eight for most of the night, the New York Knicks finally grabbed their first lead late in the fourth quarter. Madison Avenue swagger met blue-collar stubbornness. And as had become the pattern throughout the Finals, the Knicks adjusted when it mattered most.

Mitchell Robinson—a backup center and arguably the least graceful free-throw shooter in modern basketball—ripped down a rebound that changed the game. Bench players made the extra pass. They milked the clock. They punished the Spurs for helping too aggressively off shooters.

And Jalen Brunson—who has clearly rehearsed these moments in empty gyms his entire life—did what leaders do.

He penetrated the lane, collapsed the defense, found open shooters, hit short jumpers in traffic, absorbed contact, and calmly buried free throws while twenty thousand hostile Texans screamed themselves hoarse.

Then came the final twenty-six seconds. The Knicks built the lead to four. 

And they never surrendered it again.

When the buzzer sounded and the trophy was handed over, what struck me wasn’t arrogance.

It was gratitude.

No chest-thumping dynasty behavior. No manufactured villain energy. No self-obsessed theatrics.

Just imperfect players, overcoming deeper talent, on the road, against overwhelming odds, acknowledging one another, acknowledging God, and understanding fully what it took to arrive there.

Are You Now or Have You Ever

Tuesday, June 9, 2026

An Excerpt from Are You Now or Have You Ever on Townhall.com

There’s a revival play running off Broadway right now, revisiting one of the more combustible chapters in American political history: the anti-communist hearings of the McCarthy era.

You know the phrase. “Are you now or have you ever been…”

For younger Americans, the entire period feels almost mythical. Grainy black-and-white footage. Angry senators. Witness tables. Careers destroyed. Whispered accusations of communist sympathies and Soviet infiltration.

My friend Michael Riedel—the longtime Broadway columnist for the New York Post—is hosting audience talkbacks after performances of the show. He joined me on the air Friday to discuss it, and what struck me all over again is how fundamentally different America was then from what it is now.

Back then, Marxism, communism, socialism, and totalitarianism were not fashionable campus accessories or podcast aesthetics.

They were despised.

The American public had watched tens of millions die under Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and fascist regimes spreading across Europe and Asia. They had fought a world war. They had buried sons. They had watched free nations nearly disappear under authoritarian boots.

So, when allegations surfaced about communist influence inside institutions, Americans took it seriously.

Now, let’s be fair about history.

Joseph McCarthy and some of the investigators absolutely went too far in certain cases. Innocent people were smeared. Careers were ruined based on flimsy associations or hysteria. Fear can metastasize quickly in any society.

But here’s the part modern revisionists often ignore: The broader American rejection of communism itself was morally correct.

Communism was evil. Marxism was destructive. Totalitarianism murdered human beings by the millions. And Americans—Democrats included—understood that instinctively.

The Forgotten Room Heroes

Thursday, June 4, 2026

An Excerpt from The Forgotten Room Heroes on Townhall.com

There is something deeply hilarious about the modern administrative state.

The same people who can somehow lose trillions of dollars in accounting discrepancies, misplace classified documents next to Corvettes, and accidentally delete “critical evidence” every other Thursday suddenly become absolute perfectionists the second Donald Trump sneezes near a filing cabinet.

Amazing how that works.

Which is why the latest revelation from Todd Blanche and the Trump Justice Department is so important—and frankly, so deliciously ironic.

According to Blanche, DOJ officials recently uncovered a cache of Jack Smith-related documents hidden away in what was essentially a forgotten room inside the Department of Justice. Not archived transparently. Not cataloged responsibly. Just… sitting there. Waiting to be found by people the previous administration apparently assumed would never come looking.

Now let’s all pause for the ceremonial Washington explanation.

“I’m sure it was an innocent oversight.”

Right. And I’m sure Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian opera fan fiction.
