PSA: RON DESANTIS CANNOT HIDE FROM HIS RECORD—Ron DeSantis is flailing on the eve of his “big” day. No wonder his billionaire backers are running for the hills—and into the arms of his 2nd place competition. He just isn’t ready for the moment. https://t.co/ne7Mlv4vYR pic.twitter.com/6mlir0QMPF— Taylor Budowich (@TayFromCA) May 23, 2023

Florida governor and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis (R) told conservative radio hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on Thursday he would consider pardoning Jan. 6th rioters and former President Donald Trump if elected.“I’m sure you agree. You have a law background. You’ve obviously been very aggressive legally in what you can and cannot do as a governor of Florida. Department of Justice, the FBI has gone after the January 6th defendants with reckless, I would say, abandon. A big part of being president is pardon powers. Do you think the January 6th defendants deserve to have their cases...

DETROIT (AP) — Owners of new Ford vehicles will be able to tune in to AM radio in their cars, trucks and SUVs after all. CEO Jim Farley wrote in social media postings Tuesday that the company is reversing a decision to scrub the band after speaking with government policy leaders who are concerned about keeping emergency alerts that often are sounded on AM stations. “We’ve decided to include it on all 2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles,” Farley wrote on Twitter. “For any owners of Ford’s EVs without AM broadcast capability, we’ll offer a software update” to restore it, Farley...

Hello to all WMAL Fans! I hope you're all doing well. As many of you know, The Planteman has a new show on NEWSMAX weeknights at 8:00 PM. If any of you have watched it, please comment and/or critique below. The show was working out some 'kinks' the other day - audio and cadence - but we'd like to see what you like or don't like. I heard from Chris last night, who said that the show "is a work in progress, and progress was made today." All the best to everyone -- and I will definitely inform the group...

Conservative talk show host Dan Bongino said former President Donald Trump's performance during a CNN town hall was so good Wednesday night that he effectively wrapped up the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. "I'm going to say after last night, I don't know what you guys think, the primary is over," Bongino said during his opening monologue Thursday of "The Dan Bongino Show" podcast. "It's over man. ... Trump was in rare form last night and just lit CNN on fire to the point where CNN was questioning CNN at the end of the night." Bongino said the town hall was...

President Donald Trump calls in to discuss President Biden’s re-election announcement and his new book, Letters to Trump. He discusses his relationships with JFK Jr, former PM of Japan Shinzo Abe, and Jack Nicklaus.

PBS has joined NPR in quitting Elon Musk’s Twitter after the social media network labelled both organizations as “government-backed media.” Bloomberg reports that PBS has decided to stop using Twitter after the social media platform referred to both it and NPR as “government-backed media.” “PBS stopped tweeting from our account when we learned of the change and we have no plans to resume at this time,” said PBS spokesman Jason Phelps in an email. “We are continuing to monitor the ever-changing situation closely.”

Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR) on Wednesday announced the decision to quit Twitter after being transparently labeled “state-affiliated media.” NPR, whose budget is subsidized nearly 11 percent by taxpayer funds, declared it will step away from the social media platform to protect journalism. NPR’s media personalities will (so far) remain with personal accounts. “We are not putting our journalism on platforms that have demonstrated an interest in undermining our credibility and the public’s understanding of our editorial independence,” NPR’s CEO John Lansing said in a statement. When questioned if NPR would ever return to the platform, Lansing cast doubt on...

Are radical liberals preparing for a civil war here?The evidence is all over.Don’t miss this show. 👇🏻https://t.co/UstpmolFUC— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) March 29, 2023

March 16th, 2023 On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, the grounds for appointing a special counsel to investigate the Biden crime family have all been met, but AG Merrick Garland refuses to do so even as more information is revealed. Hallie Biden is now the third Biden family member to receive payments from China. This would be headline news on every news platform if this were Donald Trump or any Republican, but because it is Biden’s family it is ignored even though they have been caught red handed again. Democrats and the media are in heavy cover-up mode for Biden now...

Over the years, Ford's pony car has gained performance and sophistication, sometimes at the expense of old-school character. Now, the new 2024 Ford Mustang is getting further from its roots by losing its AM radio receiver as controversy over the technology's future in new cars escalates. The AM radio's discontinuation was discovered in an order guide for the new Mustang that circulated on the Mustang7G forum. A Ford spokesperson confirmed the feature's deletion to The Drive, citing that "countries and automakers globally are modernizing radio by offering internet streaming through mobile apps, FM, or digital." This makes the Mustang the...

Rush Limbaugh's death two years ago this week left a void in conservative media that younger, more versatile contenders are still trying to fill. Why it matters: Today, no one radio host commands the same level of power and influence that Limbaugh did, but a number of new voices are emerging — blending the reach of traditional and digital platforms — and collectively proving to be more powerful in shaping conservative opinion for younger audiences. "The world is changing and there are questions as to how Limbaugh, had he lived and remained healthy — based upon his mindset and his...

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, all top government officials take documents home with them when leaving office, it just happens. That is why it is ridiculous to take Bill Barr and legal analysts and others in the press at face value who are out to get Trump and want him thrown in jail for this. Barack Obama, Bush, Cheney, Gore, and Hillary are uncharacteristically quiet about Biden’s current classified document scandal because they know they have documents too. The National Archives has been politicized to the point of it being a joke, and Merrick Garland and his team of Castro-like...

Two months before he died, Rush Limbaugh predicted the regime would turn on Biden and described exactly what we are seeing right now

President Trump will be my guest on radio tonight at 7pm Eastern. Don’t miss it!— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 12, 2023

Rush Limbaugh spent his life advocating for liberty and defending the rights of American citizens. He encouraged his millions of followers to get involved in politics and make their voices heard at the local, state, and national levels. One of the ways he urged his listeners to get involved was by joining the Article V movement. But those who oppose the Founders' solution to federal overreach have launched a disinformation campaign attacking both Rush and Convention of States Action President Mark Meckler. In a recent post on social media, Montana State Senator Theresa Manzella claims that Mark lied about Rush's...

A liberal group linked to billionaire George Soros has been cleared by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to purchase Spanish-language radio stations throughout the country, rekindling concerns that a "radical political agenda" will influence information provided to Hispanic voters. Miami’s iconic, Spanish-language conservative talk radio station Radio Mambi is one of the 18 stations the Soros-backed Latino Media Network will purchase from Televisa Univision for a reported $60 million. Radio Mambi, which is historically linked to the Cuban exile community and offers an anti-communism view, will be controlled by liberals once the deal is finalized. Latino Media Network, which is...

Happy 80th birthday, Dementia Joe Biden. It’s been said – not often, but sometimes – that 80 is the new 60. But for the nation’s oldest (by far) president, 80 is the new 150. Biden is 80 going on… take away the car keys and lock him up in the memory-wing of the local assisted living facility. Let’s consider Biden’s recent comments. As always, all dialogue guaranteed verbatim. One of Dementia Joe’s perennial targets is big business, or as he put it, the “55 largest, of the 55, 55 of the largest corporations.” And what exactly did they do, Brandon?...

Just weeks after retiring from his Westwood One syndicated show, longtime Talk personality Jim Bohannon has passed away at the age of 78. Bohannon stepped down from his show in October after being off the air for most of the summer for unnamed health reasons. He began his radio career in 1960 at KLWT in his hometown of Lebanon, Missouri. Following college and military service during the Vietnam War, he returned to radio in the Washington DC market as a newscaster at 980 WRC, 1050 WGAY and 1500 WTOP. He later worked as a morning anchor at WCFL Chicago and...
