When Leadership Fails, the Vulnerable Pay the Price
New York’s Governor Hochul leads in the polls, but do not mistake it for strength—it is a product of weak opposition, not real support. While politicians play games, real crises unfold.
In Israel, the October 7th attack did not just ignite war; it left children with disabilities stranded, without therapy, education, or basic care. The consequences are devastating.
Today, we welcome Pamela Azaria with Chimes Israel, who is on the front lines fighting for these forgotten lives. While leaders hesitate, she takes action.
Words mean nothing without leadership. Who is truly leading?

What if everything you thought was secure—your vote, your water, your very way of life—was slipping through your fingers?
We expose two of the most critical crises facing our nation: the silent war on clean water and the battle for election integrity. These are not distant problems. They are happening right now, in your community, in your home.
Millions of Americans unknowingly consume toxic water, contaminated by PFAS chemicals and industrial waste. Indigenous communities are denied access, forced to travel miles for what should be a basic human right. And across the world, people drink from filthy rivers because they have no choice.
One man decided to change that. Christopher Beth, founder of The Bucket Ministry, joins us to share how a single mission trip to the Brazilian Amazon opened his eyes—and how his organization is bringing clean, safe water to those who need it most. But as America’s water crisis grows, will we fight for those suffering right here at home?
If you cannot trust your vote, can you trust anything? Ballot tampering, voter fraud, and new laws like the SAVE Act are setting the stage for a battle over election integrity. Is proof of citizenship the safeguard we need, or a barrier to democracy? Is our system broken beyond repair?
From the Motor Voter Act to legal battles over ballot security, we expose the fight happening in real-time—a fight that will define our nation’s future.
Two battles. One night. One truth: If we do not fight for justice now, we may not have the chance later.

A Nation at the Crossroads: The Fight for America’s Future
The battle lines are drawn. President Trump’s latest address wasn’t just a speech—it was a declaration. A new economic war waged through tariffs, a missile defense shield that could make America untouchable, a plan to end the Ukraine conflict with one bold stroke, and a government overhaul that could either save taxpayers billions or spark the biggest political fight in decades.
But the battle isn’t just at our borders—it’s inside them. While other cultures push to establish their own laws, their own courts, and even their own nations within ours, weak leadership enables it. The left has abandoned American values, and no one represents that failure more than Democrat Al Green—pushing for policies that divide us, undermining the Constitution, and setting the stage for chaos.
The question is clear: Will we defend American sovereignty, or let radical forces dismantle it piece by piece?
Is this the reset America needs, or the start of an even greater storm? How will these policies shape your wallet, your security, and your place in this country’s future?
The world is shifting beneath our feet. Are you paying attention?

We delve into the dark underbelly of politics, where emotional intelligence becomes a weapon, and manipulation is the name of the game. Leaders’ adept at reading emotions can inspire and unite, but when that skill morphs into trickery, the consequences can be fatal.
We explore how cunning politicians exploit emotional intelligence to deceive and control, leading to policies that cost lives. This isn't just political theater—it's a deadly game where real people pay the ultimate price.
Tune in as we uncover the tactics of these political puppeteers and discuss the human toll of their manipulations. It's time to pull back the curtain and confront the harsh realities of power and deceit.

What Happens When Leaders Lose Control?
Wars are not just fought with weapons—they are fought with words, strategy, and emotional intelligence. When a leader lacks self-control, the consequences are catastrophic: alliances fracture, negotiations collapse, and lives are lost.
The recent Oval Office clash between President Trump and President Zelenskyy was more than just political theater. It was a masterclass in how the absence of emotional intelligence at the highest levels can jeopardize millions. Instead of securing aid and solidifying support, a moment of unchecked emotion turned an opportunity into a crisis. The world is now left wondering: Will Ukraine be abandoned? Will Russia gain the upper hand? Has this war been prolonged because emotions overpowered reason?
Proverbs 16:32 tells us: "Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city." Strength is not about brute force or loud words—it is about mastering oneself before trying to lead others. True power is in influence without rage, negotiation without pride, and leadership without ego.
Then, in the final segment, we shift to an issue just as urgent, but much closer to home. Villa of Hope is transforming lives right here in Rochester, expanding its critical behavioral health and substance use treatment services.
Carrie Carl, President & CEO, and Isha Torres, Director of Agency Advancement, join us to share their vision for the future—a future where families and individuals battling trauma and addiction are met with hope, healing, and real solutions.
This is a conversation about power, policy, and the people caught in the crossfire—on the world stage and in our own backyard. Do not miss it.

The battle for Monroe County’s future is at a breaking point. Once a stronghold of American values, the party now stands on shaky ground—fractured, outmaneuvered, and losing the fight at the ballot box.
Democrats have tightened their grip, securing historic victories in local races, flipping the County Legislature for the first time in decades, and re-electing a Democrat as County Executive by a record-breaking margin.
Voter turnout has slipped nearly 8% since 2020, and Republican registration has fallen so low that independent voters now outnumber Republicans in the county.
Meanwhile, Democratic fundraising is outpacing the GOP by as much as 5-to-1, fueling a political machine that is better organized, better funded, and relentlessly expanding its reach.
The question is no longer what went wrong—it is what happens next.
Can the party rise from the ashes, unify its base, embracing the grassroots, and reclaim its voice? Or will it continue down the path of decline, surrendering without a fight? Leadership has changed, but the challenges remain.
New strategies are emerging, but will they be enough to turn the tide?
The time for complacency is over. The moment for action is now. The battle for Monroe County’s future is here.

A hero is lost, yet the outrage is selective—Officer Cameron Girvin, a 25-year-old from Upstate NY, was gunned down in the line of duty. A visa price tag goes up—Trump’s $5M “gold card” replaces the EB-5’s $800K minimum, letting the wealthy buy their way in.

THEY WANT YOU DISTRACTED. DON’T FALL FOR IT.
The left plays the same tired game—dangle race, January 6th, and political prisoners in front of us while they burn the country down behind our backs. They have spent four years weaponizing the justice system, and now that the truth is clawing its way to the surface, they are screaming that they are the victims? Give me a break.
We have seen the footage. We have heard the whistleblowers. The so-called "insurrectionists" were waved in, not waging war. But facts do not matter to those who thrive on fear and control. They silence the truth, punish the dissenters, and propped up a Justice Department that had become a political hit squad—until Pam Bondi stepped in to clean house.
And now? Governors are sending in the military to intimidate employees who refuse to bow. The left is clutching its pearls over Trump’s promise of justice because they know what is coming. The real America—our America—is waking up.
We are done playing defense. Done apologizing. Done letting them sell victimhood as a way of life. We stand for God, family, country. We stand for perseverance, for truth, for accountability. And when they come after our people, our values, our freedom—we stand up and fight back.
Kash Patel is calling for accountability. Dan Bongino is standing firm. And we? We are just getting started.

The Weight of a Nation, the Strength of Its People
A nation is not defined by its wealth but by those who carry its burdens—the caregivers who give without rest, the workers who push forward despite exhaustion, and the leaders willing to stand in the fire. Today’s battles are not just headlines; they are the pulse of our time.
A newborn takes her first breath while a worker fights for dignity. A legislator’s words ignite a deeper conversation on identity. Rights once thought secure are challenged, and power moves at a dizzying speed. Each of these moments is a test—not just of policy, but of resilience, of justice, of who we are.
The question is never whether the road is hard; it is whether we have the courage to walk it. Injustice thrives in silence, and the burden of silence is too great to bear. This episode is for those who refuse to be broken, for those who speak, lead, and endure.
The fight is real. The stakes are high. The time is now. Listen in.

A government that abandons its own citizens is no government at all. Today, we expose the truth.
Illegal immigrants handed Social Security numbers, benefits, and even passports—while American families struggle to make ends meet. A whistleblower comes forward, revealing how officials were pressured to qualify them for long-term disability at taxpayer expense.
New York’s correction officers are under siege—forced into dangerous prisons with no protection, no backup, and no leadership willing to fight for them. The state’s response? Deploying untrained parole officers and National Guard troops to cover their failures while ignoring the real crisis.
And in Rochester, activists push to remove police from 911 calls, replacing them with social workers—because apparently, crime is just a misunderstanding. The same people who wanted to defund the police are now quietly making it happen.
Where does this end? A nation cannot survive if its leaders betray those who built it. We are watching the erosion of law, order, and accountability in real time. Enough!
We pull back the curtain on corruption, the deception, and the policies that are dismantling our country piece by piece. No spin. No censorship. Just the truth.

The media twisted the story, but today, we set the record straight. Jeff Briggs called out the absurdity of ‘furries’ in schools, and for that, he was smeared as a racist. His message was simple: schools should focus on education, not indulging delusions. But the left, desperate to control the narrative, seized on his gorilla suit protest to drown out the real issue—our kids’ classrooms are becoming ideological battlegrounds.
We are also breaking down Rochester’s city council race, exposing the myth of income inequality, and asking: how much more affordable housing do we really need? Plus, what comes after DEI, and why are thousands marching against Trump and Musk?

Deception thrives in the spaces where truth is inconvenient. When corporations quietly rebrand instead of reform, when media manipulates instead of reports, and when institutions silence instead of serve, the result is not progress—it is control. The conversation you are told to have is rarely the one that matters.
This week, we cut through the noise. Presidents’ Day—a celebration of leadership—now drowns under consumerism and historical revisionism. Random Acts of Kindness Day—meant to encourage goodwill—is a fleeting distraction from the engineered division ripping communities apart.
Meanwhile, corporate America is not abandoning DEI; it is disguising it. The so-called death of diversity initiatives is nothing but a calculated pivot to shield from legal scrutiny while maintaining ideological strongholds. And when a school board walks out instead of listening, when parents are demonized for daring to question explicit materials in classrooms, it is clear who is running the show—and it is not the people.
The battle is not left versus right—it is truth versus manipulation. Join me, Peter Vazquez, as we expose the deceit and demand accountability.
For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. – Luke 8:17  #talkradio
