The noise was deafening—half-truths dressed as compassion, headlines lit to flatter the left and bruise the right. On this episode, Peter Vazquez sits down with Eric Scheiner, Senior Director of MRCTV, to chart the maze and torch the fog. Scheiner walks through MRCTV’s receipts: lopsided shutdown coverage that framed Republicans as saboteurs while ignoring inconvenient Democratic votes; glamour shots for socialist darlings and vanishing acts for stories that cut the other way. The pattern is not subtle. It is systemic.   From New York City’s new hard-left mayor to Virginia races the press refused to scrutinize, the lesson repeats: when narrative rules, facts starve. Abroad, the persecution of Christians in Nigeria barely registers unless a disfavored figure mentions it—then the story becomes the messenger, not the murdered. At home, the same instinct targets faith, family, and anyone stubborn enough to ask for evidence.   Callers weigh in—from the Marine Corps’ costly victories to libraries captured by ideology—reminding us that institutions follow the money and the courage of those who show up. Scheiner’s closing counsel is simple and stern: search for truth, speak it, and audit your tools, including AI trained to echo the usual suspects.   This is a call to discernment and duty: God, country, family. Peace through strength. Citizenship over spectatorship. The fog lifts when men and women of conviction light the way.
