10.15.25--NLS--Charlie Kirk Honored, Trump Nominated Again, The View's Hostility
The podcast opens by discussing two significant recent events. The first is President Trump posthumously awarding the Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk, with the host noting Trump's high praise for Kirk's "indomitable spirit" and the growing movement to create a lasting legacy for him. The second major event is the announcement of the new First Presidency of the LDS Church, with President Oaks being named as the new prophet. The hosts also cover Speaker Mike Johnson's effort to nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. While they agree Trump has earned it, they express concern that a coordinated campaign might diminish the achievement by making it appear forced upon the Nobel Committee rather than being awarded on merit alone.
Following the discussion of Kirk's legacy, the conversation shifts to broader cultural and media commentary. A significant portion of the show is dedicated to critiquing *The View*, addressing the show's claim that conservatives are "afraid" to appear as guests. The podcast hosts argue that the real issue is the hostile environment, where guests are "gang tackled" by the panelists and a live audience, preventing any meaningful dialogue. This critique extends to a discussion about RFK Jr. and the controversy over his warnings about acetaminophen, which the hosts use as an example of media-driven outrage and the importance of independent thought. They ultimately lament the political polarization that damages personal relationships and advocate for a return to common sense and individual decision-making.
