Episode Details

Is Canada falling apart? From Canada's internal fractures to rising tensions with Iran—and what it all means for the U.S.—this episode connects the dots on the challenges ahead.

Journalist Elie Cantin-Nantel joins the show to break down the growing instability in Canada, from the surprising resurgence of Quebec separatists to a serious push for independence in Alberta. He explains how economic decline, rising crime, and a disconnect between voters and reality are reshaping the country—and why many Canadians still aren't seeing it.

We also get into the role media and outside voices—including Donald Trump—may be playing in shaping political outcomes, and why Canada's economy, once stronger than many U.S. states, is now losing ground.

Then, Senior Fellow at the Yorktown Institute and researcher at CAMERA, Shay Khatiri joins to break down what's really happening with Iran. Are we heading toward a deal—or something much bigger?

Shay explains why Iran's regime is focused on staying in power, what that means for negotiations, and how U.S. strategy could play out in the weeks ahead. He also cuts through the noise on media coverage and lays out what actually matters in this conflict.

Finally, U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers joins the podcast to talk about how we fix things here at home. A former Army officer, FBI special agent, and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rogers is running on a simple idea: make the country work again.

He talks about bringing back American manufacturing, strengthening the economy for working families, and cutting through the dysfunction in Washington that's holding the country back.
