🎙️ Guest: Nick Hill from Marion Polk First PAC joined us to recap Oregon’s primary election, discuss what the results mean moving into the general election, and outline what conservatives should focus on over the coming months as campaigns shift toward November.
We also highlighted a fascinating X account for history buffs:
🔗 1776 Live (@250YearsAgoLive) – Live-posting the American Revolution as if a reporter were embedded in history, day by day, leading up to America’s 250th birthday.
🏛️ We discussed reports from the Great American State Fair, where visitors were reportedly surprised to find Oregon’s exhibit sitting empty.

📚 Denise also shared her review of Suicidal Empathy by Gad Saad, discussing the book’s central argument that excessive empathy, when disconnected from reason and accountability, can produce unintended consequences in public policy and culture. Denise called it a thought-provoking read that challenges readers to examine how compassion and common sense can work together.
🎬 Finally, we wrapped up with a little Gen X nostalgia after news broke that Rob Lowe confirmed a sequel to the 1985 classic St. Elmo’s Fire is officially in development.
