6:35 Maggie McKneely, Director of Government Affairs for Concerned Women for America
Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) commended commended Sen. Josh Hawley’s new bill that will command the abortion drug Mifepristone’s approved application to be withdrawn for the purposes of terminating a pregnancy from the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, a necessary step to confront the dangerous drug.
“Claims that chemical abortion drugs are just as safe as Tylenol are simply not true. The FDA’s own black box label on Mifepristone warns that one in 25 women will end up in the emergency room. This extremely dangerous drug has often been administered without medical oversight and has been used to coerce women into believing that abortion is as safe and easy as just popping any other pill. Instead, women are left struggling to recover from the physical effects of Mifepristone on top of the psychological trauma of ending the life of their baby,” said Penny Nance, CEO and President, Concerned Women for America LAC.
7:10. Constitutional lawyer and scholar William J. Watkins Jr., a research fellow at the Independent Institute and author of The Independent Guide to the Constitution. As Washington debates the president’s decision to launch military action against Iran without a vote in Congress, and Democrats weigh the possibility of another Trump impeachment, a constitutional argument is emerging from an unexpected place: critics on the right who say unilateral war-making violates the Founders’ design and undermines our nation’s constitutional responsibility. Will and I talk about:
- Why the Founders intentionally denied any single person the power to take the nation to war
- The dangerous territory the U.S. enters when presidents bypass congressional war powers
- Why some conservatives say the Iran conflict raises impeachment questions
- Why James Madison warned that the executive branch would be “most prone to war”
- Whether Congress has gradually surrendered its war powers to the presidency – is there a way to go back and if so how?

New Manhattan Institute Poll: Do Democrats Want to Be “Normal?” Survey Analysis of Today’s Democratic Coalition
Manhattan Institute polling finds Democratic voters are more pragmatic and internally divided than elite discourse suggests
NEW YORK, NY – Despite the prominence of progressive activism in Democratic politics and online discourse, a new national survey conducted by the Manhattan Institute finds that many voters within today’s Democratic coalition are more moderate than media narratives suggest.
This survey, which reached 2,593 respondents who are either registered Democrats and/or voted for Kamala Harris in 2024, finds that more Democrats would like to see their party move to the center than to the left. Moreover, this poll identifies three blocs within the Democratic Party: Moderates (47% of the Democratic coalition, they favor middle-of-the-road views across most contentious policy issues); Progressive Liberals (37% of the Democratic coalition, they lean left but remain close to their party’s institutional mainstream); and The Woke Fringe (11% of the Democratic coalition, they take maximalist positions on issues and are disproportionately young and conspiratorial). The results of this survey consistently reflect this structure, with many of the coalition’s majority positions shaped by moderates rather than by the party’s most ideologically activist faction.
Click here to read the author’s X thread breaking down the results.
Key findings include:
- Immigration: Only 11% of Democrats support a true “open borders” position, with majorities favoring a skills-based immigration system that prioritizes the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants.
- Public safety: While divided over the criminal justice system overall, majorities of Democrats support aggressive prosecution for gun crimes (71% to 18%), view the police as essential to maintain public safety (55%), and reject political violence (74%).
- Transgender policy: Most Democratic parents support parental notification requirements in schools, oppose biological boys playing in girls’ sports leagues, and believe that gender-related medical intervention should have age limits.
- Economic policy: Democrats favor redistribution and consumer protections, yet 63% reported feeling concerned about welfare fraud. Many Democrats expressed openness to free trade and supply-side economic policies.
- National identity and foreign policy: 62% of Democrats affirm Israel’s right to exist (with 23% saying they are unsure) and 64% believe that the United States has historically been a force for good in the world. Younger voters are notably more skeptical of Israel and willing to tolerate antisemitism in their party.

We talk the latest session, the deal making, the overreach…it’s all in there.
8:10 Robert Bortins, is author of Woke and Weaponized: How Karl Marx Won the Battle for American Education, and How We Can Win It Back. He is the CEO of Classical Conversations, which supports classical, Christian homeschoolers in all fifty states and in thirty foreign countries.
Why are so many parents choosing homeschool? Because government schools have become laboratories for progressive education and Marxist ideology. This urgent exposé by Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, and investigative journalist Alex Newman reveals how public education was systematically corrupted—from John Dewey’s progressive education philosophy to today’s Critical Race Theory curriculum.
MORE ABOUT THE BOOK: Woke and Weaponized: How Karl Marx Won the Battle for American Education, and How We Can Win It Back
BIO: Chief Executive Officer of Classical Conversations, Inc. is a job that Robert Bortins was born to… literally. Dissatisfied with the education options she found as a new mom, Leigh Bortins decided first to homeschool her four sons, and then decided to develop her own curriculum, with Robert, her oldest son, as her first pupil.

| 7:10 John O’Connor, is author of Postgate: How the Washington Post Betrayed Deep Throat, Covered Up Watergate, and Began Today’s Partisan Advocacy Journalism
He served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Northern California representing the United States in both criminal and civil cases. |
Deep Throat’s lawyer discovers the Washington Post betrayed his client—while covering up the real truth about the Watergate scandal.
The conventional wisdom of Watergate is turned on its head by Postgate, revealing that the Post did not uncover Watergate as much as it covered it up. The Nixon Administration, itself involved in a coverup, was the victim of a journalistic smokescreen that prevented mitigation of its criminal guilt. As a result of the paper’s successful misdirection, today’s strikingly deceptive partisan journalism can be laid at the doorstep of the Washington Post.

After Deep Throat’s lawyer, author John O’Connor, discovered that the Post had betrayed his client while covering up the truth about Watergate, his indefatigable research resulted in Postgate, a profoundly shocking tale of journalistic deceit.
In an era when numerous modern media outlets rail about the guilt of their political enemies for speaking untruths, Postgate proves that the media can often credibly be viewed as the party actually guilty of deception. Americans today mistrust the major media more than ever. Postgate will prove that this distrust is richly deserved.

7:35 Herman Baertscheiger talkin’ oil, the economy, will the Dems care?
8:10 DIANNE ANDERSON – researcher and educator putting on her seminar and presentation this Friday the 13th at 6pm, Central Point Library. Here’s what’s to be discussed:
Dark Seeds of Oregon’s 2040 Vision & Action Plan
Will the 21st Century see America as having no state or county borders?
How far has American society been restructured into a Feudal system?
Metro-regional plans will replace our current government system affirmed by American university experts in “socialist regional” planning and implemented with Smart Growth policies embedded in Agenda 21. See the map of the 10 megapolitan clusters and 23 megapolitan areas of the contiguous 48 states visioned by 2040. Will metropolitan cities be the jurisdictional authorities in a new America? Learn how this mirrors the technocratic agenda and its relevance to potential 15-minute city development in the near future.
Eco-socialism requires a radical de-growth of resource consumption, hence “A new society would “orient production towards the satisfaction of authentic needs, beginning with those which could be described as biblical–water, food, clothing, housing.” We need only to look where global Vision 2040 has gone to see where Climate Friendly Area creation is taking us. The oligarchs of a future digital dark age have no moral compass in transforming our livelihoods and lifestyles. Individual loss of freedoms – to choose what we eat, produce, write, speak, travel, own a car or work toward personal wealth building will be purged . Sadly, hundreds of people, unwittingly, are helping to develop an eco-socialist society and will find themselves living in what Americans have built blindly.
“The underlying politics of architecture – an unspoken strategy of harsh control – was hidden from the population, and even from the architects who carried it out.” (Meerovich, M.G., 2003)

6:35 GOA spokesperson Luis Valdes, Florida State and Southeast Regional Director of Gun Owners of America – www.GunOwners.org
The D.C. Court of Appeals recently ruled that the city’s ban on firearm magazines holding more than 10 rounds is unconstitutional, stating that such magazines are commonly used and protected under the Second Amendment. This decision overturned a previous conviction related to the ban, emphasizing the widespread ownership of high-capacity magazines in the U.S.
- The District of Columbia has the option to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court or request a review by a larger panel of judges.

Bill Thorndike: Community and Business Leader
By Dennis Powers
Bill Thorndike, Jr. graduated in 1972 from Medford High School and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1976 from Lewis and Clark College. After college, he started working full-time for the family business, Medford Fabrication, in White City. After five years at the White City operation, he moved to its Medford main headquarters.
Prospering under the guidance of his father, Bill Thorndike, Sr., Medford Fabrication is a custom steel fabrication company operating for over 80 years and offering a diverse range of fabrication, assembly, installation, and finishing services. Headquartered between East McAndrews Road and Court Street with over 100,000 square feet of manufacturing capacity, its customers include Komatsu and dealers, Caterpillar and its dealers, Pacific Power, Erickson Air Crane, Boise Cascade, Adroit, and other regional, national, and global entities.
Despite the time needs of running this family business, Bill Thorndike was extremely active in meeting community and regional needs, having served in over 55 local, state, regional, and national boards and commissions. Bill was a long-time strong supporter of education-related programs, including as past president of the SOU Foundation, Oregon Independent College Foundation, a member of the State Board of Higher Education, and Senate Commission on Educational Excellence.
He has or currently served on the boards of SOU, Oregon Business Council, Crater Lake National Park Trust, Jefferson Regional Health Alliance, Philanthropy Northwest, and the Northwest Health Foundation. He has served on others, including the Port of Portland, Oregon Community Foundation, Asante Health System, Northwest Area Foundation, Regence BlueCross-BlueShield of Oregon, and the Portland Branch of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank (Director/Vice Chair).
Thorndike earned a variety of honors over the past decades, beginning with the Small Business Administration naming him Exporter of the Year in 1990. In 1996, he received the SOU President’s Medal; then in 1997 by awards from the Northwest Business Committee for the Arts and the University of Oregon School of Education. He was named Person of the Decade in 2000 by the Jackson County Community Service Consortium. The Oregon Alliance of Children’s Programs gave him the Rose Otte Award in 2005, then came the Glenn L. Jackson Leadership Award from Willamette University and the statewide Tom McCall Leadership Award from SOLV/ Bank of America–among others.
A third-generation Rogue Valley resident, he served for three years as Chairman of SOU’s Board of Trustees from its 2015 inception. Bill passed away on February 15, 2025—and truly stood out.
