The First Five Debbie takes a look at just how revealing John Boehner’s recent comments about Ted Cruz (referring to him as Lucifer) really are. Boehner has never worked with Cruz; he only knows that Cruz did as he promised his constituents he would do—he acted to stop Obama’s agenda. And...
The First Five Debbie takes a look at Earth Day—it’s origin, history, positives and negatives. When it started in 1970, the ‘scientific’ ‘experts’ made predictions that have proven to be not only wrong, but ridiculously wrong.

The Opening Segment Debbie turns first to the Colorado delegate kerfuffle; these baseless accusations hurt the political process—and that’s true whether you support Donald Trump or Ted Cruz (or any other candidate).

First Fifteen Debbie reviews the three groups now opposing Donald Trump: the hard left (such as moveon.org’s “Black Lives Matter”), the Republican establishment and ‘movement’ conservatives. It is the movement conservatives who have the most principled concern about what Trump actually stands for. Congressman Jeb Hensarling calls in to talk about he...
First Fifteen Debbie takes a look at the Left’s determination to define the “new normal” for a variety of behaviors and issues, and encourages listeners to refuse to kowtow. Think about the Seattle man who got away with undressing in a girls’ gym/showering facility, by claiming transgendered feelings at the time—and...
First Fifteen Debbie takes a detailed look at the stunning ways our Department of Justice is refusing to support proof of citizenship as a condition to voting.
