Two conservative voices, one mission, completely different playbooks. One host brings the fire and volume, the other counters with razor-sharp wit and a perfectly timed eyebrow raise. Together they tackle the week's political chaos, media nonsense, and culture war casualties with opinions that actually mean something—and they're not afraid to call each other out in the process. If you want political commentary with real conviction and zero corporate polish, you've found your show.

Thursday, September 10: Trump closes his Dallas convention speech with a jaw-dropping promise — a $5,000 dividend for every American adult, contingent on Republicans sweeping the House and Senate this November. Rush and Reagan grade the bet live, and it's messier than it sounds.
This episode breaks down the actual price tag on the pledge, the trillion-dollar funding gap nobody in the campaign has explained, and whether offering cash tied to an election outcome crosses into bribery territory under federal law. The hosts also dig into Fox News' own on-air skepticism, a budget expert's blunt fact-check, and the ready-made attack ad Democrats can build from a single on-record accusation. Rush calls it a turnout masterstroke; Reagan calls it a panic move dressed up as confidence. Their final grades land on opposite ends of the scale.
Where do you land on this one — genius or desperation? Weigh in, and catch us for Thursday's convention finale coverage.

Tuesday: The GOP's Hail Mary Convention in Dallas
Season 1 · Episode 41
Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 17:35
On Tuesday, September 8, Rush and Reagan tear into the GOP's first-ever midterm convention in Dallas and ask the question nobody in the party wants answered: is a 100-plus speaker lineup a show of strength or a five-alarm panic dressed up as strategy?
From there, the show gets sharper. Trump's approval slide and the Democratic enthusiasm edge get measured against 2018's messy lessons. Reuters/Ipsos numbers showing 71% disapproval on cost of living force a hard look at whether Dallas's tax-relief pitch even matches what voters are angry about. Politico's list of no-shows and undecideds — including Thune, despite being in town — turns into a real fight over snub versus smart politics. DeSantis's warning about a one-man turnout machine gets tested against Nashville's special election numbers, and Paxton-Talarico's shift to toss-up shows cracks nobody's talking about yet.
Rush and Reagan don't agree on everything here, and they don't pretend to. Tune in tomorrow to see who's right — and tell us where you land.

Thursday: Johnson Punts the Shutdown Past Nov. 3
Season 1 · Episode 40
Thursday, September 3, 2026 • Duration 16:16
The House passed a stopgap funding bill 370-48 on Thursday, September 3, and Rush and Reagan aren't buying the victory lap Speaker Johnson is taking. That lopsided margin looks less like consensus and more like both parties dodging a fight they knew they'd lose before the midterms.
Rush and Reagan break down what's actually in the bill and what it means for the months ahead. They trace this year's two record-breaking shutdowns and call out the identical playbook both parties ran while blaming each other. They replay the near-collapse of the rule vote, where five Republican defections almost sank the bill before two Democrats bailed out the floor. And they dig into the fine print — a blocked OMB grant-review rule, a Border Patrol transfer ban, and the spending add-ons that bought enough votes to get this thing passed.
The real fight lands December 11th, in a lame-duck session with none of the incentives that produced this week's landslide. Reagan's already daring listeners to push back on her take — drop your argument and tune in to see who's right.

Tuesday: Warsh's Jackson Hole Tell Guts Our Cut Call
Season 1 · Episode 39
Tuesday, September 1, 2026 • Duration 20:56
On Tuesday, September 1, Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole speech puts Rush and Reagan's September rate-cut call in front of a firing squad. The hosts break down exactly what Warsh said, why his use of AI-driven productivity to justify staying tight flips the usual Fed playbook, and how markets reacted in real time as hike odds jumped from a coin flip to over 55% on CNBC and past 66% on CME FedWatch. They dig into the growing split at the top, with Bessent pushing back on a hike while Roger Ferguson calls for two more this year, and translate all of it into what it means for car loans, mortgages, and midterm politics.
Rush stands by his on-record call for a September 16 cut. Reagan isn't so sure. Both agree to grade the call live next episode, loser buys the coffee. Tell us who you think is right before the Fed decides for both of them.

Thursday: We Called The Fed Wrong—Or Did We?
Season 1 · Episode 37
Thursday, August 27, 2026 • Duration 21:29
Thursday, August 27, the Fed might hike into an election and Rush and Reagan are here to admit their rate-cut-saves-the-midterms call may be flat-out wrong.
They walk through how July’s softer inflation data set up their original thesis, then stack that against Kevin Warsh’s bruising confirmation fight and the summer oil spike that flipped market odds toward a September hike. From there, they unpack the tug-of-war between rate-cut hopes, hike fears, and a possible hold, all while a Hormuz scare and a gold rally rattle nerves. Along the way, they bring it back to kitchen-table math: health premiums, borrowing costs, and what the September 16 Fed decision actually means for regular families.
- How their original Fed and gas-price prediction broke as oil ripped higher.
- Why Kevin Warsh’s divided confirmation still shapes today’s rate debate.
- What gold, Hormuz chatter, and debt buybacks signal about market fear.
- How looming ACA premium jumps and Fed policy collide for middle-income households.
Stick around to see how their call looks after September 16, and send in your take on whether the Fed should blink or hold the line.

Tuesday: Kushner's Secret Meeting Has Johnson Panicking
Season 1 · Episode 36
Tuesday, August 25, 2026 • Duration 16:48
On Tuesday, August 25, a closed-door meeting between Jared Kushner and Hakeem Jeffries becomes the prism for whether the White House is secretly hedging on who will control the next House of Representatives.
The episode unpacks why this off-camera conversation matters, how it collided with progressive anger at Jeffries, and what it reveals about the gap between public confidence and private preparation in an election year. Listeners get a clear walk-through of Johnson’s on-air bravado, the polling and forecasting numbers he left out, and how recent Iran war-powers moves in the Senate fit the same hedging pattern.
- The undisclosed Kushner–Jeffries sit-down and what it signals about 2026 House expectations
- The left’s backlash against Jeffries and his attempt to reframe the meeting
- Speaker Johnson’s “hedge” comments on Fox versus the data he avoided naming
- How Iran war-powers votes mirror the quiet bets Washington is placing
Stay tuned for the next episode as Rush and Reagan dig into who else in Washington is acting like the majority is already up for grabs.

Thursday: 33% Approval and $4 Gas Is No Coincidence
Season 1 · Episode 35
Thursday, August 20, 2026 • Duration 15:05
Trump's approval just hit thirty-three percent on Thursday, August 20, and Rush Lindell and Reagan tear into what's actually driving the collapse. This episode digs into the Reuters/Ipsos crosstabs showing Democrats now beating Republicans on economic trust for the first time in a decade, then follows the money down to $527 in extra household fuel costs since the war began. Rush and Reagan clash over Fed nominee Warsh's split July decision and whether a September rate hike can even touch oil-shock inflation. They also stage a brutal parody of the White House's broken gas-price promises, with an OPIS analyst predicting no relief until 2027, before landing on three dates -- September 11th CPI, the September 15-16 FOMC meeting, and daily AAA gas averages -- that could decide the midterms.
Reagan pushes back hard on Rush's inflation-crisis framing, forcing a real argument about who owns the blockade and its price consequences.

Wednesday: Trump Hits 33 and MAGA Starts Flinching
Season 1 · Episode 34
Thursday, August 20, 2026 • Duration 15:16
Trump's approval hit 33 percent on Wednesday, August 19, and Rush Lindell and Reagan aren't letting the White House spin it away. Five separate pollsters are landing in the same range, echoing the December 2017 floor Trump eventually clawed back from.
This episode digs into whether MAGA erosion is real or just noise, testing old predictions against fresh NBC/Newsweek identification numbers and a Politico finding on Trump voters ditching the label. Rush and Reagan break down a historic shift in economic trust toward Democrats, sliding Republican support for the Iran war even among Trump's own base, and what Cook Political Report's House forecast means for the midterms. They close by staking specific, falsifiable predictions for Labor Day approval numbers.
Topics covered: the 33 percent approval number and whether it's a pattern or a blip, the MAGA identification split and what's driving it, the economy and Iran war polling dragging Republicans down, and the House math behind 2026's midterm stakes.
Think the numbers turn around by fall? Tell us your prediction, and tune in tomorrow to see who's closer.

Thursday: Alex Jones Wants Trump Impeached Now
Season 1 · Episode 32
Thursday, July 30, 2026 • Duration 16:32
On Thursday, July 30, Alex Jones did the unthinkable and called for Trump's impeachment over the Iran war, and Rush Lindell and Reagan aren't letting the moment pass quietly. They pick apart whether the war powers argument holds up even as they question the messenger delivering it.
This episode covers a lot of ground fast. Oil crossing $100 a barrel and Leavitt's unanswered draft comment get separated fact from fear. The actual congressional vote counts, a 214-208 House win and a failed 47-49 Senate resolution, expose defectors nobody's tracking yet. Rush's satirical mock floor speech on Article I lands some laughs before Reagan pulls things back to the human cost: American troops killed in Jordan, strikes on Aqaba, and a war Congress never actually debated.
They close with three concrete things to watch heading into the midterms, plus predictions listeners can hold them to. Tune in tomorrow to see who's right.
