There’s one thing out there that Democrats will not tolerate. In the mind of the Democrat, you must not be required to show identification in order to register to vote.
Neal Boortz
You need photo ID to fly, buy a drink, rent a house, open a bank account – even to get a fishing license. But Democrats draw the line at one thing: registering to vote. Boortz dives into the hypocrisy behind the left’s battle against voter ID laws and asks the obvious question – why would anyone oppose proving who you are before you vote?
The Schumer shut down: How pathetic can they be? They couldn’t win the presidential election. They couldn’t win the House of Representatives. They couldn’t win the Senate. They have nothing, and they’re desperate.
Neal Boortz
Boortz goes off on Democrats who are willing to let American families suffer to subsidize the health, education, and welfare of the only people who would still vote for them – illegal aliens.

I’ve talked a lot about my perspective on certain things. I know people know that I am anti-feminist, but I’m anti-feminism even more.
Janelle King
In this episode, I share a segment from my recent interview on Craig Kidd’s Podcast, Georgia Politics, where we discussed feminism as a whole and its effects, featuring two advocates and two critics. I also announce an exciting new series launching in 2025.

Rich and I and the rest of the Republicans in the House, we did the right thing on September 19th, well in advance of the September 30th deadline. We gave the Democrats literally what they asked for, a short-term, clean, nonpartisan CR. By the way, the same one they supported six months ago and the same one that they voted for 13 times under Joe Biden. And then what happened? It passed with a simple majority in the House. All the Republicans and one Democrat voted for it. All the other Dems voted no, went over to the Senate and you need Sixty votes to get it through the Senate. We got fifty-three senators, so we need Democrats, and Chuck Schumer shut it down.

If you’re paying attention, if you’re connecting the dots, you’re beginning to see just how important illegal aliens were and are to the Democrat Party.
Neal Boortz
Boortz connects the dots where the media won’t. From California Democrats threatening to arrest ICE agents, to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker creating commissions to track law enforcement instead of illegal aliens, immigration has become a political tool for the Left. Democrats are power hungry and can’t afford to stop the border flow.
As trillions of dollars shift hands over the next two decades, the question isn’t whether your wealth will transfer — it’s how. In this episode of Retirement Roadmap, Mark and Evan break down The Great Wealth Transfer—the unprecedented movement of assets from today’s retirees to their heirs—and show how to turn this generational shift into a thoughtful, tax-efficient family strategy.
Drawing from decades of real-world advisory experience, Mark and Evan explain why successful wealth transfers require more than a will or a trust. They unpack the key differences between estate distribution and beneficiary coordination, how taxes and timing can dramatically impact what your heirs receive, and the family conversations that prevent conflict before it starts. You’ll learn practical steps for reviewing beneficiary designations, reducing lifetime taxes through Roth conversions, protecting heirs with trust planning, and aligning your estate documents with your broader retirement goals.
The reality is sobering: poor coordination can lead to avoidable taxes, delays, and disputes that undermine decades of careful saving. Mark and Evan share the most common pitfalls they see—out-of-date documents, mismatched beneficiaries, and missed opportunities for tax-smart wealth transfer—along with a clear roadmap for keeping your plan current as laws and life evolve.
The takeaway? Don’t let your legacy be decided by chance. With proactive planning and open communication, you can preserve more of what you’ve built and ensure it’s passed on with purpose.

Kimmer and Pete expose how top Democrats like Jon Ossoff and Chuck Schumer are raking in millions in campaign donations by prolonging the government shutdown—while publicly blaming Republicans.
Insiders reveal Ossoff’s cold calculation: vote to reopen government and raise zero low-dollar donations, or keep it shut and pocket $3 million from online fundraising emails.

Senator Ossoff thinking about all this. Another Democrat said, Senator Ossoff’s calculation is, quote, “Do I vote to open the government up and get crushed and can’t raise a single dollar of low-dollar money? Or do I vote to shut the government down and get $3 million from online fundraising?”
That’s disgusting! Senator Ossoff is more concerned about getting low-dollar donations from maybe some donor in California who’s going to click on an e-mail and give him $100 for his re-election, and so he’s causing suffering on 10s of thousands of people in his home state of Georgia.
