Faith, free speech, and power: The Carrie Prejean Boller controversy
Is there really free speech if we are persecuted for openly stating our religious beliefs? That’s the question we are all asking after Carrie Prejean Boller was recently removed from President Donald Trump’s Religious Liberties Council for questioning Zionism. So, is anti-Zionism the same as anti-Semitism? Carrie Prejean Boller and Timothy Gordon, host of Rules for Retrogrades, join us to discuss a topic that is splitting the GOP down the middle.

Transparency, trust, and the vote: Pam Bondi, Epstein Files, and the midterm outlook
Pam Bondi’s testimony on the Epstein Files has raised a lot of eyebrows on both sides of the aisle. What does the DOW have to do with protecting children from trafficking and even worse? How much more will the Epstein Files continue to haunt the DOJ and how do we get more transparency? Or is this all a big political circus? Angie Wong, Miami Republican Committeewoman and former Michigan congressional candidate Dr. Sherry O’Donnell join Scottie Nell Hughes on this episode of Perspective to discuss all of this and more!
Epstein & Pizzagate: A once fringe theory rocking the US establishment
On this episode of Perspective, legal analyst Lionel and film director Mike Smith join Scottie Nell Hughes to discuss how the latest release of millions of pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents has reignited public scrutiny of the late sex offender’s network, revealing extensive communications, associations with prominent figures, and troubling details about how power and influence intersected with exploitation. While the disclosures offer greater transparency and validate long-standing concerns raised by victims and journalists, legal experts caution that the material alone may not meet the threshold for new criminal prosecutions, especially given statutes of limitation and prior plea agreements. The release has intensified calls for accountability – not just for individuals, but for institutions that failed to act – raising a central question that remains unresolved: whether public exposure will finally translate into meaningful justice, or if the Epstein case will stand as another example where disclosure stops short of consequences.
How Big Pharma makes profits, drives up prices, and gets Americans addicted
For decades, Americans have paid the highest prescription drug prices in the developed world, often subsidizing lower costs overseas. This episode of Perspective examines how President Trump’s healthcare plan places drug pricing reform at the center of fixing a broken system, focusing on the role of generic drugs, the distortions caused by international price controls, and the promise and controversy of Most Favored Nation pricing. With expert analysis by Jon Potter, executive director at The Coalition Against Pharma Patent Abuse, and Dr. Ken Berry, this program explores whether confronting pharmaceutical costs head-on could finally lower prices for American patients and permanently reset the healthcare market.
Accountability for peace: Gaza, power, and the path forward
President Trump’s negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have come up with a bold and controversial, new plan to secure peace in Israel and Palestine and to rebuild Gaza. The Trump Administration plans to rebuild part of Gaza as luxury resorts. But how is this going to play out in a region that has seen years of devastating and brutal warfare between two parties that are barely reconciled to one another? On this episode of Perspective, Scottie Nell Hughes is joined by Steven Leskovich, candidate for Attorney General of Florida, and political analyst Robert Inlakesh to take a critical look at both sides of the issue. You won’t want to miss it!
Elemental power: America’s rare earth awakening
Rare earth metals might seem like a rarified or exotic topic to discuss, but it is anything but. The rise of AI and electric cars necessitates ever increasing levels of mining and production of chips and other electronics derived from rare earth metals. Right now China has the jump on the United States, but the Trump administration is trying to remedy that… and quick. Will the future belong to those who can extract and produce the most rare earth metals? Only time will tell. Join Scottie Nell Hughes on this episode of Perspective to discuss all of this and more with guests Steve Abramowicz, host of the Heartland Journal Podcast, and longtime conservative radio pundit and host Steve Gill.
