That’s a wrap? After more than 3.5 years since the British people voted to leave the European Union, they have officially left. With all the celebration from Brexiteers and the protest from “Remainers”, there are a lot of questions to be answered on what happens now. This week, Nile Gardiner joins us to give his perspective from the front lines of the Brexit celebration, and talks about all that needs to happen to move forward. Hint: A lot of work needs to be done. He also gives an insider perspective on the Huawei 5G situation in the UK. 

Major studies have concluded that Americans use firearms in lawful defense of themselves and others between 500,000 and three million times every year. Yet as we have pointed out on this podcast — these are not the stories that make their way to the national cable channels.

Many on the left claim that “Medicare for All” will save you money. They say that healthcare will be better and more affordable. Not true. According to a new Heritage Foundation study, not only would private insurance be outlawed and everyone forced to use government healthcare, but a family of 4 earning the median income would pay $9,000 a year to pay for Medicare For All. That’s about equal to what they spend on food every year. This week, Tommy Binion breaks down the report, and pushes back against the left’s narrative that the middle class would save money under “Medicare for All.”

China continues to demand more from America in exchange for access to their markets. But they are not demanding more goods or more money, they are actively trying to censor Americans and change our perception of their communist culture. Whether it’s Hollywood, the NBA, or our school system, China’s strategy seems to be working. But some Americans are pushing back. This week, our friend Mike Gonzalez joins us to explain what’s going on and ways we can push back.
