Jason Chaffetz closes the show with John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting, who previews his July 4th performance aboard the USS Nimitz in New York Harbor for America’s 250th anniversary. Ondrasik discusses performing “Superman” with former Gaza hostage Ilona Weil, honoring first responders, Gold Star families, wounded warriors, and 9/11 heroes, and why music can help spotlight veterans, allies, and the values America must defend. Chaffetz also thanks U.S. service members amid reports of American military action near the Strait of Hormuz and takes listener calls on politics, socialism, BYU football, and why conservatives are leaving blue states. The hour also includes a warning about drones, AI, facial recognition, privacy, and how AI-enabled glasses could be used to identify people in public without consent. Chaffetz ends by praising America as the greatest country on earth and urging listeners to remember military families during the July 4th holiday.

Jason Chaffetz fills in for Sean Hannity and frames the 2026 midterms around two major questions: whether Republicans will actually deliver on the agenda they campaigned on, and how far left Democrats are willing to go. He argues that President Trump reshaped the Republican Party around border security, voter integrity, and working-class priorities, but warns that Senate Republicans must show more urgency, especially on the SAVE Act. Chaffetz contrasts that with what he describes as a Democratic Party being pulled toward socialism by figures like Mamdani, AOC, Bernie Sanders, and other Democratic Socialists. Congressman Pat Fallon joins to discuss China’s influence in American universities, legislation to restrict federal funding for schools tied to Chinese Communist Party programs, and the need to protect sensitive research. Chaffetz also criticizes California’s proposed wealth tax and warns that high-tax, anti-business policies will drive people and companies out of blue states.

Jason Chaffetz opens the second hour by focusing on America’s founding principles and the need for vigilance as the country approaches its 250th anniversary. Former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman joins to discuss the Charlie Kirk assassination case, including why the case is taking so long, the judge’s gag order, the death penalty remaining in play, and broader concerns about politicized judges and legal overreach. Chaffetz then speaks with Bradley Devlin of The Daily Signal about the documentary Sacred Honor: The Declaration That Defines a Nation, which connects the Declaration of Independence to today’s cultural and political challenges. They discuss Gen Z’s struggle with meaning and purpose, the dangers of AI, the importance of first principles, faith, human dignity, and why younger Americans need to understand the founding story before the country can meet the next generation of threats.

Jason Chaffetz closes the show with Gene Hamilton of America First Legal to break down major Supreme Court rulings on the Second Amendment and immigration. Hamilton explains a Hawaii concealed-carry case, federal pesticide-law preemption, asylum metering, and a Temporary Protected Status decision that gives the Homeland Security secretary more discretion to end TPS designations. The discussion then turns to birthright citizenship, where Hamilton predicts the Court may avoid a sweeping merits ruling while Chaffetz hopes for a stronger decision supporting Trump’s position. Rob Schneider joins later to discuss Major League Baseball, religious liberty, Pride-themed uniforms, Christianity, free speech, and America’s 250th anniversary. Schneider argues that America’s Constitution, separation of powers, and God-given rights make it the greatest system in history, while Chaffetz closes by thanking Sean and praising the country ahead of July 4th.

Jason Chaffetz continues focusing on election integrity and brings on Congressman Brandon Gill to discuss why the SAVE Act has stalled in the Senate despite passing the House and enjoying broad public support. Gill argues that Senate Republicans should use a talking filibuster to force Democrats to publicly defend opposition to proof of citizenship and voter ID. Chaffetz and callers' express frustration with Senate recesses, leadership, and what they see as a lack of urgency on President Trump’s agenda. The hour also covers Gill’s Oversight work on SNAP benefits, including whether taxpayer dollars should fund soda and junk food, plus listener calls from Texas, Delaware, Tennessee, Utah, South Dakota, and Georgia about voter fraud, term limits, California election rules, and whether Congress is doing enough to protect the country’s future.

Jason Chaffetz fills in for Sean Hannity and opens by celebrating America’s upcoming 250th anniversary while warning that socialism is gaining ground in parts of the country, especially after recent New York City election results. Chaffetz argues that America’s founding principles — freedom, self-reliance, self-governance, and equal opportunity — are under attack from a growing movement promising free services, government control, and higher taxes. He connects that warning to the SAVE Act, calling for stronger voter integrity measures, proof of citizenship, and more pressure on Senate Republicans to force the issue through a talking filibuster rather than leaving town for recess. Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and University of Minnesota student Jackson Barrick join to discuss free speech on campus, pronoun policies, and a lawsuit challenging rules they argue could punish students for expressing mainstream views on sex, gender, and women’s sports.

This episode examines the rise of socialism and broader cultural shifts in modern America, with a sharp focus on how education, media, and social platforms shape political beliefs and public perception. The hosts connect current events in New York City and beyond to larger debates about ideology, free speech, identity politics, and the erosion of foundational American values. The conversation argues that misinformation and cultural activism are influencing both voter behavior and national unity.

Mark Simone closes the show with Bill O’Reilly, who argues that New York’s socialist primary winners represent a growing communist-style movement focused on seizing private assets, controlling housing, weakening law enforcement, and promising free benefits to voters. O’Reilly connects the trend to immigration, entitlement politics, and the collapse of political leadership in New York and other major cities. He also describes his recent trip to the United Kingdom, warning that open migration, entitlement spending, and parallel Sharia courts have badly weakened Britain. Simone and O’Reilly discuss whether New York’s radical turn will hurt Democrats nationally, whether Fauci will ever face accountability, and how America’s 250th anniversary may be received by the left. Congressman Matt Van Epps also joins to discuss his Honor Gold Star Families Act, increasing death gratuity benefits for fallen service members’ families, the SAVE Act, voter ID, and why Republicans must draw a contrast between common sense and the radical left.
