With Scott Hennen en route to Washington D.C. to join the White House press pool, the "future of talk radio" takes the reins. Kevin Flynn is joined in-studio by Turning Point USA’s Hayden Smith and Titus Queen for a high-energy look at the culture war, California’s self-inflicted energy crisis, and the bizarre trends taking over modern schools.
The episode features an exclusive sit-down with Hollywood star and North Dakota native Josh Duhamel, who discusses his new movie Preschool, his wellness company Gatlin, and his mission to onshore pharmaceutical manufacturing to North Dakota. Later, author Stacey Manning joins from Seattle to provide a survival guide for conservative parents living in "woke" urban hubs. From the mechanics of Transformers to the science of grain markets, this Thursday edition covers it all.
