·1 hr 40 min·5 clips

Keith Malinak says the Republican Party counts on conservatives being terrified of the other side to keep power.

The episode opens with Steve Deace introducing the show and its guests, including Keith Malinak from The Pat Gray Show. The first segment features 'The Dace Group,' where the panel reviews a montage of controversial media clips, including comments from Jennifer Newsome about changing pronouns in children's books and Tim McBride discussing political attention-seeking. Keith Malinak expresses frustration with the Republican Party's reliance on fear tactics. Steve Deace shares his internal conflict about supporting the Republican Party despite its failures. The discussion shifts to allegations that the State Department's Global Engagement Center targeted Blaze Media for censorship between December 2020 and January 2021, placing it alongside Russian state outlet Sputnik News. The panel reacts with anger and calls for legal action and branding opportunities. The conversation then turns to foreign policy, specifically the war in Iran and ceasefire negotiations involving Vice President J.D. Vance. The hosts debate when the conflict might end and what victory would look like to the American people, focusing on gas prices and the Strait of Hormuz. A quick segment asks if U.S. troops should be sent to Nigeria to stop Christian persecution, with all three hosts agreeing they would consider it. The episode concludes with 'Feedback Friday,' where Steve Deace responds to listener emails, including one about a second-grader forced to wear a 'Hail Satan' hoodie to school, prompting a lengthy monologue about spiritual responsibility and divine purpose.
