Lots of work to do—let’s get to it—Here are 3 big things for this hour—   Number One— The price of gas is the lowest it has been in years—and this is the time of year it usually jumps—but this Christmas travel season—good news for drivers as the price continues to fall—   Number Two— Big news in the trial of accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson—as the defense is asking for the entire prosecution team to get tossed out over a conflict of interest—   Number Three— The Epstein Files were all the Democrats could talk about for weeks—well now they are out—and the person seen the most is one of their own—former President Bill Clinton—and they are trying to ignore it—

Steve sits down with Ambassador Francis Rooney, who served as United States Ambassador to the Holy See after being appointed by President George W. Bush, for a fascinating conversation on faith, diplomacy, and history. Drawing from his book The Global Vatican, Rooney explains the unique role the Vatican plays on the world stage and what it means for the United States to now have America’s first Pope. It’s a thoughtful discussion on moral leadership, global influence, and why the relationship between America and the Holy See matters now more than ever.

Steve sits down with Nick Hopwood, CFP, founder and president of Peak Wealth Management, for another edition of No Lazy Money,  focused on discipline, planning, and real-world investing. They look back at Cisco finally hitting a new high more than 25 years after 2000, what the lost decade taught investors, and where money actually worked when the S&P 500 went nowhere. Hopwood also lays out what investors should do if the market drops 10% or more in 2026, weighs in on Ray Dalio joining Michael Dell, and delivers a critical reminder: this is the last call for 2025 tax planning, including QCDs, donor-advised funds, tax-loss harvesting, and Roth conversions.

Fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—   Number One— Off shore wind projects are getting cancelled by the Trump Administration—and the 5 huge east coast projects could be replaced by just one natural gas pipeline—and cover the same output—   Number Two— Fulton County Georgia is now admitting—it counted 315,000 illegal votes in 2020—which means Jon Ossoff was never legally elected Senator—and Donald Trump certainly won the state in the Presidential race too—   Number Three— The spreading scandal of massive fraud in Minnesota keeps creating new problems for Governor Tim Walz—and frankly other Democrat Governors in other states too—because it’s not just a Democrat problem—it’s a mass immigration turn your head the other way problem—

Steve sits down with Esther Bouquet, Associate at the Free Enterprise Project, to discuss why it’s time to restore reality to America’s boardrooms. As corporations increasingly prioritize political and social agendas over profitability and accountability, Bouquet explains how this shift hurts shareholders, workers, and consumers alike. From ESG mandates to ideological pressure campaigns, she breaks down what’s gone wrong and how returning to free-market principles and fiduciary responsibility can get American businesses back on track.

Steve sits down with Don Brown, North Carolina Republican U.S. Senate candidate, former Navy JAG officer, and federal prosecutor, to unpack troubling developments at the Pentagon and beyond. Brown weighs in on reports that the Pentagon is elevating its review involving Senator Mark Kelly, and explains why Americans should be concerned when politics and national defense collide. They also dig into how national Democrat money is reshaping state-level races, drowning out local voices and tilting elections in favor of Washington insiders. 

Steve sits down with David Rubin, founder of the Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund and former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, for an urgent conversation on the growing threat posed by Iran and why Israel’s patience appears to be running out. As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signals that time is limited, Rubin explains what that message really means on the ground, why Israel’s security decisions are about survival, not politics, and why decisive leadership matters in the face of hostile regimes. It’s a sobering, firsthand perspective on Middle East realities that Americans need to understand as global tensions continue to rise.
