She and other doctors took a stand against the fear and lies. Covid revealed was the worst in people.

This Week – Medical Marxism
It’s been said the pandemic didn’t create problems. It revealed them. The pandemic didn’t create the worst in people. It revealed who they really were.
While we saw a lot of the worst of far too many people, we also so the best. And that was the case with the White Coat Summit. Doctors who refused to bow to fear and instead stood up to break the spell.
Fear is how tyrants rule. They need you to be afraid. Which is why the fear peddlers lashed out and tried to destroy them for daring to challenge them by offering hope.
Dr. Simone Gold
Doctor Simone Gold is an emergency doctor., lawyer, and fierce defender of what healthcare ought to be. And she saw the rise of Medical Marxism up close and extremely personal. She was threatened for prescribing hydroxychloroquine in the early days of the pandemic. And then fired for standing up to give people hope.
She shares with us the lies we saw that made the pandemic possible. And her fight now is to restore our rights to make our own decisions about the kind of health care we want and need. Because unless things change, we will lose our health freedom altogether.

15-49 Democrats Starting to Panic? No Gas Tax Blowing up Oregon Dems
Show 15-49 Summary: We talk with Oregon State Rep., Ed Diehl, about the phenomenal No Gas Tax petition effort to get insight on why it’s been so successful, with nearly double their goal and well ahead of schedule. We also get a behind-the-scenes look at what insiders said why it would never work, and the dirty tricks unions, Democrats, and Governor Kotek used to try to derail it — and could still use to derail it. Plus, some scandals in other blue states that almost certainly have happened here, and how they are doing it. Thanks to the fraud gateway Elon Musk uncovered.

No Gas Tax Signatures Explode Beyond Wildest Expectations
How can you tell when elected Democrats start to panic? When they blame someone else for the problems they created. How can you tell when elected Democrats aren’t starting to panic? When they blame someone else for the problems they created.
This week, we talk with Rep. Ed Diehl (HD-17) about the phenomenal signature gathering effort to get insight on why it’s been so successful. As of our interview, they already have more than double their goal and way ahead of schedule. It has been a true grassroots effort, with zero paid signature gatherers.
We also get a behind-the-scenes look at what insiders were saying why it would fail—and the dirty tricks unions, democrats, and Governor Kotek used to try to derail it. And dirty tricks they could still use to derail it. So much for Democrats being for “democracy,” right?
And then there are the scandals in other blue states that almost certainly have happened here, ones we already know happened here, and how they are doing it. Plus, the Far Left’s political strategy on “affordability” and the “fraud gateway” that Elon Musk’s DOGE uncovered.

Show 15-47 Summary: Brace yourself. The Left will cling to its cults and election frauds the way conservatives cling to their guns and Bibles. We talk with Craig Rucker who journeyed into the jungle (literally) to expose the latest COP30—the annual Climate Change synod. Is the Green Religion on the way out? And shocking details from Peter Ticktin about the Tina Peters case and a lawyer Michigan is trying to jail who had permission from a judge to look at the Dominion voting machines. Why? Because what she found exposed the fraud. The Far Left’s religion and election fraud. A dangerous combination.

This Week – The Far Left’s Religion and Election Fraud
The Far Left’s Religion and Election Fraud are more dangerous and more intertwined than you might think. We know the Far Left wants socialism. We also know socialism doesn’t work. There’s that whole ignores-reality-and-human-nature thing, of course. But look no further than anytime the Left runs anything. Portland. Chicago. Venezuela. You know. Where socialism works so badly, they’re eating zoo animals.
We talk with Craig Rucker, co-founder and president of CFACT, who braved the 30th annual Climate Change enclave known as COP30 (Conference of the Parties). Think of it as the HOA for Global Warming. Where a bunch of Karens get together (on taxpayer-funded vacations) to complain about everyone else and whatever isn’t being done about Climate Change. Like that it’s not happening.
And if you think socialism doesn’t work, take a listen to how shoddy the whole COP30 confab was run. And some prime examples of “do as we say, not as we do” hypocrisy. Signs of what’s to come, if the Far Left wins more elections.
Shocking Election Fraud – The Case of Stefanie Lambert
You likely know about Tina Peters. The Gold Star Mom who exposed election fraud in Colorado. And because she exposed it, a far-left judge locked her up. But it’s worse. She filed a grievance with the warden — not about the warden. About the a “teacher” in the prison. This is an official reporting mechanism designed to protect prisoners from abuse.
So what did the warden do? He put Tina Peters in solitary confinement. Because that’s what authoritarians do.
But thanks to9 Peter Ticktin, her days in prison may be numbered. Tune in to hear how he thinks a presidential pardon may break her out. “But it’s a state crime not a federal crime” you say? Well, Ticktin may have the way around it.
And definitely do not miss the last segment and a half talking about Stefanie Lambert. She is an attorney who found phone chips on Dominion voting machines in Michigan. But you won’t believe how far Michigan is going to stop the Far Left’s election fraud from being exposed.
Republicans, you had better stop fighting each other. And find a way to unite. Because the Far Left has declared you, and America, the enemy. Which must be destroyed at all costs.
Listen in, listen up!

Show 15-46 Summary: People who fail to understand how economics works vote for socialism. Which says all you need to know about the New York City and Seattle elections last week.

This Week – Economics, Socialism, and Elections
Plato, some 400 years before Christ, said of Greece’s democracy, “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” And that’s true. Similarly, One of the penalties for refusing to understand how economics work is you end up voting for socialism. Which says all you need to know about the New York City election last week.
Socialism is unique in that it is the only form of slavery that people voluntarily vote themselves into. And that happens because people who fail to understand how economics works vote for socialism. Nothing is free. To say otherwise is a lie.
Socialism promises free. But note they never promise freedom. Because by definition, you can’t have freedom if you’re dependent on the government.
But host, Mark Anderson predicts New York City’s socialism will succeed. For a little while. Why? For the simple reason the democrat socialists, cannot allow socialism to fail publicly on the world’s largest stage in what used to be the heart of capitalism.
What’s Happening with Trump?
Trump’s tariffs have been massively successful. They have brought in some $200 billion while getting more exports and better trade deals. Plus, the massive price increase that democrats hoped for never happened. But in the middle of that, the Supreme Court has taken up tariffs. Could they be about to upend all that good? And give the power to negotiate trade deals to Congress? Really? They couldn’t even keep the government open.
But those tariffs proved that Trump is usually right. Remember how many people were against them? Trump usually has really good ideas. Brilliant ones. But every so often, after weeks or even months of success, he floats some real stinkers. A 50-year mortgage? Tariff bonus checks — while we’re putting more than $2 trillion on the nation’s credit card every year, and $38 trillion in debt?
But he’s still putting out good ideas. Like the idea to move Obamacare payments away from insurance companies and send it directly to people, which will increase competition and reverse the free-market abuse Obamacare unleashed on healthcare.
Once again, with their shutdown ransom demands for $1 trillion of free money (there’s that “free” again) for Obamacare subsidies, Democrats may have backed themselves right into a trap. Because they agreed to end the shutdown in exchange for a debate about spending even more on the “Affordable” Care Act. It was never affordable. Just like nothing socialism offers is ever free.
Get a little more intelligence on economics. So you don’t vote for socialism.

And what’s been discovered in the James Comey indictment has special meaning to our second guest, Jerome Corsi. He was nearly jailed by Mueller’s tribunal for trying to expose what Hillary was up to. It turns out, he was right.

This Week – Getting to Truth
It’s true. People lie. And they cheat. But it’s especially dangerous for America when those people who do the lying and cheating are in positions of power. Because they’re not just sacrificing their integrity. They’re sacrificing America.
Think that’s exaggeration? Just look at the long-term damage James Comey, John Brennan, Obama, and Joe Biden did when they lied and cheated to create the Russia collusion hoax. Think of the incredible damage that did to America, our government, and our rights. Our government invented crimes. And were willing to destroy and jail people for a “crime” they knew was fake.
Discovery Phase in Oregon Elections Lawsuit
But this week we start with Oregon elections and democrats’ willingness to cheat in elections. Oregon lost its case to throw out Judicial Watch’s election integrity lawsuit to force Oregon to clean up its voter rolls. So now the fun begins. We talk with Eric Lee about the discovery phase and just some of what they’re asking for.
And you can help. Have you received a ballot at your house for someone who no longer lives there? Know friends or family who moved out of Oregon—but still get ballots? Have examples of election fraud in Oregon? If you have information Judicial Watch would love to hear from you. Send an email to either jwinfo@judicialwatch.org or elee@judicialwatch.org.
New Discoveries in James Comey Indictment
Then we talk with Dr. Jerome Corsi about Tuesday’s elections, which really should not have surprised anyone. Democrats electing Democrats in heavily Democrat-advantage blue states? Yeah. Big surprise. But it’s the type of Democrats that got elected. That’s the disturbing part.
But the main focus of our discussion with Corsi is the James Comey indictment. And the recent discovery. Comey arrogantly denied he’d authorized any Russia collusion leaks to the media and tried to get the case tossed. Claiming complete innocence and that he never leaked and never authorized any leaks.
What he didn’t know was Kash Patel had already found Comey’s handwritten notes saying the opposite. And a fake email address Comey used to discuss the leaks with his leaker. In legal terms, that’s known as, “whoops.”
Comey is in big trouble And no one is happier about it than Jerome Corsi. Comey was gone when Robert Mueller tried to jail Corsi. But the only reason there was a Mueller investigation was because of Comey’s lies and invented crimes. We get Corsi’s reaction and insights as a firsthand victim of our government’s attempt to jail the innocent.

Show 15-44 Summary: .When it comes to Republicans’ chances in Oregon for statewide races, they don’t need Democrats to defeat them. Because Republicans can, and all too often are, their own worst enemies. After Christine Drazan’s announcement this week that she is officially running once again for governor, there is already a slew of social media posts by Republicans saying they will never vote for her. Which is a great way not to win. So how do Republicans win? We talk with a long-time Republican consultant and a a recent “outsider” Oregon political activist to get their thoughts.

This Week – Can Oregon Republicans Not Kill Their Chances?
Republicans can save Oregon but they have to save each other first. And that means stop savaging each other in the primaries.
Primaries are different than general elections. In general elections, you are voting for who wins. In primaries, you are voting for who competes. You are selecting your team while the other parties select their team.
But all too often, Republicans—more so than the sheep-like Democrats who will vote for anyone (or anything) with a “D” in front of their name—savage and tear down the other Republican candidates in favor of their choice. They announce they will never vote for “the other guy” that their Republican teammates chose. And proceed to savage the other candidates, tearing them down. And inadvertently planting seeds why no one should vote for them in the general.
Is it more important to win the election? Or that your candidate wins?
Don’t discourage. Encourage.
Republican “Insider” and “Outsider” Views
Christine Drazan officially entered the race for Oregon’s governor this week. (Which as no surprise. No serious person thought she wouldn’t.) Up until then, Danielle Bethell, a Marion County Commissioner, was the only legitimate candidate. But what immediately obvious was the hateful comments — not by Democrats. But by Republicans.
We talk first to Greg Leo, a long-time political communications expert who got his start in the Reagan White House. He also spent a lot of time working within and for in the Oregon Republican Party as their communications director. Now, he’s a political consultant. We get his take on Christine Drazan entering the race, how to stop Republicans from spoiling their fellow Republicans’ chances, and what Republicans can do to actual win. That means wooing Democrats and non-affiliated voters. Could an actual conservative Republican do that?
Then we talk with Chuck Wiese, a conservative Republican. But someone who is not involved in Republican party politics. But Chuck is becoming more and more of a political activists, having supported and been part of multiple lawsuits against Oregon, focusing especially on election integrity.
We know Chuck is no fan of Drazan, base don how she ran last time. To get his vote, what does she have to do different this time? How can she prove herself to him—one of her biggest doubters? And can Republicans put aside their differences and preferences to focus on winning the general election?
Because Oregon really and literally cannot afford another Democrat governor.

This Week – Big Government Speeding toward Slavery
This week we’re talking about big government trying to get bigger. Right here at home in Oregon, it’s about taxing people more than ever after the passage of the ODOT tax and spend bill. Fortunately, there’s a way to stop it before it starts its engine.
We talk with Representative Ed Diehl and the effort to stop the ODOT tax from going into effect? How? By letting the people of Oregon decide, not elected democrats forcing it on people. And make no mistake. Democrats forced this bill by ignoring voters. They passed it despite over 95% opposition.
Now the Democrat governor is playing games by not signing the bill she called an “emergency.” And it’s, once again, to ignore the voice of the people to limit the time signature gatherers will have to get it on the ballot.
We talk with Ed about the rules and the strategies to get around the Democrats’ roadblocks.
Take a stand against big government—get involved! Big government only grows and gets abusive because people don’t say no. The ODOT tax is not just about a five cents tax increase and hundred more in new fees. It is the abusive way it was passed. It’s about forcing government to live inside its income. And it’s just the beginning—unless we stop it now.
Start here: visit NoTaxOregon.com to volunteer, donate(!), and help spread the word.
Real Socialism = Real Slavery
In the second-half of the show we talk with James Hirsen about digital IDs that are already in the process of being implemented over in the UK. Worse, they are paired with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). This gives the government the ability to quite literally track everything that you do. And it will be even more powerful by using A.I.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has declared no one will be able to work or buy or sell or get government benefits unless they have a digital ID. For you Christians out there, yes, it sounds remarkably like the “mark of the beast” mentioned in the New Testament’s Book of Revelation.
Because the UK is pairing the digital ID with Central Bank Digital Currencies. No more cash. Which means the government can shut off your money anytime it wants to. Or prevent you from buying things. Or paying your mortgage or rent.
And in case you think that’s just conspiracy theory, remember: it already happened in Canada when the truckers had their bank accounts switched off when they protested the covid lock downs.
Once again. It’s happening now. Because people did not stand up to big government then.

Show 15-40 Summary: This week we look at Democrat spending and grift. Some of Democrats’ taxpayer-funded spending spree is being cut off. Trump made it clear at his U.N. speech, the climate change hysteria money spigot from the U.S. is being turned off. So what will Democrats do now? And Oregon Democrats who are determined to spend at all costs, voters be damned, shoved through the ODOT spending spree. So what can voters do now?

This Week – Democrat Spending and Grift
Since our very first year on air, 2011, we have said if you want to stop the far-left, then take away the money they get from taxpayers.
Yes, it is that simple.
Thankfully, someone got the idea of that to President Trump. Because he is pulling the plug on green energy and Climate Change* funding. This is billions upon billions flowing from taxpayers to democrat-affiliated “environmental” organizations, studies at far-left universities to publish papers “proving” climate change and to find better ways to spread Global Warming* propaganda fear to keep the funding going. And that money comes back to democrats who vote for more Climate Change money. That does nothing for the environment. But does keep far-left activism funded.
* We capitalize Climate Change and Global Warming because they are a religion, not science
We welcome back Craig Rucker, the president of CFACT, to talk about Trump’s UN speech, and what the far-left and democrats will do now that taxpayer money is being cut off. And there is nothing a far-leftist hates more than to be forced to spend their own money. Or do something to earn it.
Plus, there’s a new danger from “green” energy that many people may not have heard yet: PFAS. These are the “forever chemicals” we’re discovering in so many of the things we buy. And it’s leeching into our food and water supplies.
PFAS may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals, including cancer, developmental issues, liver disease, low fertility, and hormone problems among others.
It turns out, not too surprisingly, that PFAS are in some solar panels and may be leeching into the ground when it rains. And where is the new craze to slap up solar panels? On farm land.
ODOT Spending Spree Becomes Law – Now What?
Despite overwhelming public outcry against the ODOT tax increase, Oregon Democrats spending continues unabated. And unnecessarily so. The Republicans’ plan would have not raised any taxes and instead forced ODOT to live within its means and reprioritize its existing spending.
But why do that when Democrats are hungry for money. Unions need money. And Democrats need unions. That’s why. And while they say they are all for “democracy,” even that’s a lie. Republicans put forward an amendment to simply ask the voters to decide whether to pass the ODOT tax. But Democrats rejected it.
We talk with Rep. Ed Diehl (R-17) about the Democrats’ unquenchable thirst for more money and the timeline of the ODOT bill roll out. There is already a referendum being put together but there are a lot of games Democrats can play to derail it. Tune in to find out what — and what you can do to help.

This Week – Free Speech
Surviving in the political world are no longer simply about winning elections. Now we saw someone murdered for their political beliefs. In America. The land of free speech. Trump’s attempted assassination was a fortunate, some say divine, miss. But now Charlie Kirk’s death has shaken people on both sides of the aisle. Well, the sensible ones anyway.
Charlie connected with millions, most of whom never met him but felt they personally knew him. And what we saw was how fiercely he was loved — and hated.
Imagine having a political ideology so weak that someone would kill someone because challenging your beliefs were a threat. Something is not just wrong with the assassin. But with their beliefs as well. If you are mentally unable to cope with challenges to your beliefs, something in your innermost soul is screaming out at you that your beliefs are wrong.
Defending — and Misusing — Free Speech
This week, we talk with Kimberly Hermann, the president of Southeastern Legal Foundation. A fantastic group that sues governments when they trample on people’s constitutional rights. After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Turning Point was absolutely swamped with requests for new chapters at high schools and universities all across the country. Over 49,000 last we looked.. Except, she is already hearing from parents that some democrat administrators are telling kids they are not allowed at their schools.
That’s a lie. Kids have a First Amendment right to start a Turning Point chapter. And if you or your kids or grand kids are being stonewalled by woke administrators who don’t want free speech on their campuses, contact Southeastern Legal Foundation. Despite the name, they take cases all across the country. Go here to submit a case.
But this week, it’s more than just using free speech. We also talk about misusing it. And government fumbles. Pam Bondi got it wrong saying the DOJ would “absolutely go after” people for hate speech. Hate speech is protected. (Sorry Lefties. “Hate speech” is not “someone said something I hate.”) But lies aren’t. We ask Kim hat can be done about the lies. Especially lies that lead to violence.
What NOT to Do: Oregon’s CD6
And lies and innuendo are what led to the attempt to take out the chair of Oregon’s 6th Congressional District. Regardless of party, some people crave party leadership positions like they are titled fiefdoms. And will do anything to get them and hang on to them.
That appears to be what happened in Oregon’s CD6. Don Powers, the chair of CD6, was approached out of the blue with the idea of holding an inaugural ball, because the Oregon Republican Party (ORP) wasn’t doing anything to celebrate Trump’s 2024 victory.Someone offered the “seed money” to get the ball rolling.
But in the rush to pull one together, book an event space in Washington D.C., a band, guests, and all the rest — in only about 60 days, communication broke down and mistakes were made. And despite a fantastic event, the rumor mill started, accusations were made. And it got uglier from there.
Those wanting Don Powers removed to take his seat unleashed a blizzard of accusations, despite a warning by the ORP’s own attorney to drop it and avoid any further liability. Lies are not protected free speech. That’s why there are courts. Nasty accusations were all over social media. Someone did a full background check, which was sent out in an email with a litany of accusations, citing the bylaws and he-said/she-saids.
But the accusations fell apart and Don won overwhelmingly. After the lies and accusations, how do you repair things as an organization? How do you have a working relationship to help Republicans win in 2026? Many Republicans believe the ORP has been infiltrated by Democrats.
Whether they are democrats or not, whether they meant to or not, this was destructive. And all for a volunteer political position. Wow.
