State Rep. Justin Pearson has filed a federal lawsuit against the Memphis City Council alleging that he was unfairly banned from two upcoming meetings. Pearson had been punished for his role in last week’s massive disruption. Pearson claimed he was innocent — but failed to explain why he showed up in the council chambers with a bullhorn.

Fox News Channel is predicting a major disaster for the Republicans in the midterm elections. Honestly, this is journalistic malpractice. As I warned you, don’t listen to any of the attacks or the polls leading up to Election Day.

David Hatley’s self-funded, independent run for the governor’s mansion is gaining steam across West Tennessee. Hatley has invested even more of his own money into the campaign. Meanwhile, Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s team unleashed a new ad attacking Hatley’s character. Who are you voting for in the governor’s race?

Don’t believe a single poll out there, folks. There is a concerted effort among pollsters to demoralize Republican voters. All candidates should be campaigning like they are 20 points behind. And every Republican voter has an obligation to vote a straight party ticket. We must stop the Communist insurgency.

Early voting begins today in Tennessee for the 2026 state and federal general elections. Early voting runs through Oct. 29. Election Day is November 3. Do your part to save the Republic and stop the Communist and Islamic insurgency. 

Brace yourself for impeachments if the Democrats win the midterm elections. Hegseth, RFK, Jr. and the president himself. That’s why we have to get the base out to vote.

State Rep. Justin Pearson posted a message noting that he only celebrates “Indigenous Peoples Day.” President Trump described Pearson as one of the most radical Democrat candidates in the nation. We are curious as to why Pearson celebrates indigenous people who slaughtered their enemies and took slaves?

I have an observation for all the folks celebrating "Indigenous Peoples Day."

Now the media and the academic community would have you believe that the American Indian tribes all lived in peaceful harmony – dancing in the fields and frolicking with the bison.

It was all rainbows and unicorns until the white man showed up. At least that’s the far left’s narrative. But the reality is a bit different.

A good many of the so-called "Indigenous People" groups in America were savage killers who slaughtered women and children. And many of the American Indian tribes actually enslaved their enemies.

Take the Comanche for example. Historians say they slaughtered thousands of other "Indigenous People" and enslaved many women and children.

You don't hear much about that in public school classrooms or in the national media. They sort of gloss over all the killing and slave trading. Doesn’t fit their narrative.

And that's why when a university egghead wishes me a "Happy Indigenous Peoples Day," I politely invite them to blow it out their peace pipe.

President Trump tore into State Rep, Justin Pearson at his rally over the weekend — calling the Democrat one of the most radical candidates in the nation. Coming up on today’s show, interviews with State Sen. Brent Taylor (R-Eads) and Mayor Chaz Molder (D-Columbia). Also, Russell Lindeman joins us from Theatre Memphis to promote the upcoming musical, “Million Dollar Quartet."

It was 17 years ago that Nidal Hasan waged jihad on American soil. He slaughtered 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009. More than 30 others were wounded. On December 3rd, Hasan will meet his Maker.War Secretary Pete Hegseth announcing that the Muslim terrorist will be executed by firing squad. If carried out, it would be the first U.S. military execution since 1961 and the first by a military firing squad since 1945. Hegseth also announced the execution would be livestreamed.
That announcement brought widespread condemnation from many conservatives and religious leaders. Erick Erickson compared it to the pagan Roman Empire and suggested the Trump administration relished the public spectacle of executions. He quoted Proverbs and said we should not gloat when our enemy falls. I completely disagree with that assessment. The Bible clearly states that executions were to be public and communal to purge evil from the community and to serve as a deterrent. And there is a whole lot of evil that needs purging in America.

Justin Pearson, the Democrat nominee for Tennessee’s Ninth Congressional District, prayed to “Mother God” and quoted a black liberation theology expert who said Jesus is a gay black woman. Pearson is basically James Talarico with an afro.

State Rep. Justin Pearson quoted a black liberation theologian who says Jesus is black, gay woman. Pearson also delivered a prayer at a Memphis church in the name of “Mother God.” Does Pearson represent the values of the Ninth Congressional District? Somebody needs to tell Pearson that Jesus ain’t no lesbian.

Fox News anchor Sean Hannity said he was "pressured" to push Covid-19 vaccines on his viewers, even though he was uncomfortable doing so

"I was being pressured — pressured — to tell my audience to take the jab," Hannity said. "And I'm like, 'I'm not a doctor. I'm just not. I don't know anything about your health, I don't know anything about your preexisting conditions, your current condition, comorbidities you may have, and I don't know anything about this shot.'"

Brace yourself for polling data that shows the Republicans losing in a blue tsunami. The disinformation campaign has commenced. The only issue is whether or not Republican voters will cast ballots on Election Day. If we do, we win. If not, get ready for impeach-a-palooza.

The new Shelby County Property Assessor painted a very dire picture of the county’s tax base. He says most of the downtown high-rises are empty, thousands of citizens have fled the city and even hotels are shuttering - which has to raise eyebrows seeing how City Hall spent more than $20 million to purchase the dilapidated downtown Sheraton. In other words, get ready for a big tax increase, Shelby County!

Every vote will be important in just 29 days...guest host Jeff Stein has a suggestion about how fellow patriots can make sure no voter is left behind this election.

Voters who are unhappy say they will vote in November to "send a message" to the political elites...but guest host Jeff Stein says to be careful about what message you are actually sending.
