Underground USA's Corner of the Bar Podcast

In this segment, I talk with Ashley Hayek, a founding member and Executive Vice President of the America First Policy Institute, where she oversees State Policy, Chapters, Research, and Public Affairs. She also serves as President of America First Works, AFPI's policy advocacy and grassroots arm.

Prior to joining AFPI and AFW, she served as National Coalitions Director for President Donald J. Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, leading one of the largest coalition outreach efforts in modern political history. In 2024, Ashley built a presidential-level ground game that changed the playbook for winning campaigns, achieving a 70% turnout among low-and mi...

In this segment, as is the case on this day every year, I discuss the attacks of September 11, 2001, and pay tribute to the slaughtered and the fallen. It’s a duty and an honor to do so.

Dedicated to my fallen brothers of the badge and their families for their sacrifices

In this segment, I start by discussing a prime example of how the American Fifth Column expands its authority in real time. I cover the antics of Chicago’s Mayor, Brandon Johnson, in a featured article: Brandon Johnson’s Chicago City Hall Is Targeting His Political Opposition.

Then Kyle and I get into all things political and geopolitical, including Iran, the desperation of the DSA, and El-Sated’s attack on the Vance family. We get into all of this and more at The Corner of the Bar segment.

I finish up by spotlighting what happened to Ene...

In this segment, I start by placing the glaring spotlight of truth on someone who can be described as both the far-Left and DSA’s darling, and the biggest piece of Islamo-Communist shit that has splattered on the podcast scene: Hasan Piker.

Then Kyle and I get into all things political and geopolitical, including Iran, the USS Abraham Lincoln, DFW kneeling at the altar of Islam, and more. We get into all of this and more at The Corner of the Bar segment.

I finish up by spotlighting my new book, The American Fifth Column. Yo...

In this segment, I start by highlighting a featured article at UndergroundUSA.com that examines Catherine Herridge’s bombshell reporting validating what many of us suspected during the Biden administration: the Bidens were being leveraged by the communist Chinese.

I explain this more fully in the featured article, The Biden Family’s China Shadow: Blackmail, Betrayal & the Cost to America.

Then Kyle and I get into the urban cancer that is violence as conflict resolution and the recent shootings in Seattle, Washington, and Madison, Wisconsin, among other places. We get into all of this and more...

In this segment, I start by addressing the dangerous move made by Hawaii’s Supreme Court in declaring that it will ignore the rulings of the US Supreme Court when they don’t align with the ideology held by Hawaii’s justices.

I explain this more fully in the featured article, The Hawaii Supreme Court’s Defiant Assault on Constitutional Order.

Then Kyle and I get into the incredible reactions of the visitors to the US from all over the world for the World Cup about the America they didn’t know, Iran, and the march of s...

In this segment, I start by addressing the election integrity speech President Trump gave Thursday night. Quite honestly, after reading the declassified documents, this must be seen as a seminal issue facing the nation. Not only does the SAVE Act have to be passed—simply as a stopgap—the entire election system must be reformed and hardened so that the will of the people is done.

Here are two links. The first is to the White House page that will provide you the declassified intelligence documents proving communist China’s treachery, and the second is a post by Lar...

In this segment, I address the hyper-partisan hypocrisy and the bastardization of the #BelieveAllWomen and #MeToo movements by the political and ideological Left and its amplification by the mainstream media. Using abused or raped women or children as political pawns is not only despicable; it’s the stuff of “win at all costs” Marxism.

I write about this abstract hypocrisy and cruelty in a featured article, The Left’s Shameless Abuse of ‘Believe All Women.

Then Kyle and I talk about the renewed Iranian conflict, Islamism, Platner and the Left’s lust for power, the Kirk trial...

In this segment, I address a festering sore that has only grown since the days of Woodrow Wilson: socialism leading to communism. If you believe that the Marxist march is inconsequential, listen to the clip of New York Mayor and full-blooded communist Zorhan Mamdani had to say—from George Washington’s desk, no less—on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

I write about the dangers of advancing communism in a featured article, Trump Is Right: Communism Is America’s Greatest Threat.

Then Kyle and I expound on this...

In this segment, I open with a clip from a podcast worth listening to: History That Doesn’t Suck. The clip is from the episode on the War of 1812 and Francis Scott Key’s penning of the words to The Star-Spangled Banner. I exhibit the full four verses.

I write about the hope for America’s future in a featured article, “America at 250: The Enduring Promise of the United States of America”.

Then Kyle and I talk about the importance of Independence Day, those who want to tear it down, and our obligation to the future as...

In this segment, I open by addressing the recent Democrat Primaries in New York, where democratic socialists (re: Marxists) scored some victories they are crowing about. But reality, as cautious as we should be about it, tells a less dramatic story.

I discuss this in depth in a featured article, “New York’s Socialist Sweep Signals the Democrat Party’s Collapse into Radicalism”.

Then Kyle and I talk about a statement spoken on the US House floor that suggested the repeal of the 17th Amendment, which facilitated the direct election of US Senators.

We take...

In this segment, I open by asking a simple question that has long been overdue to be asked: What good is having a Republican majority in the US Senate—or the US House, for that matter—if they routinely squander that majority and fail to achieve the goals set out by the voters in the elections that brought them to power?

I discuss this in depth in a featured article, “What Good Is A Worthless Republican Senate Majority?”

Then Kyle and I talk about the demise of Keir Starmer in the UK, Iran, and the irritati...

In this segment, I open with a story out of The Daily Caller, that sent me into a rage. It turns out We the People can’t have the SAVE Act passed because of some egotistical members of the GOP in the Senate who are playing petty personality games with the President. Nothing more. It should piss everyone off beyond measure.

I discuss this in depth in a featured article, “Thune Exposes Republican Sabotage of the SAVE America Act.”

Then Kyle and I talk about the heaping pile of crap on Chicago’s Southside that was dedi...

In this segment, I open with an intro that addresses a malady that plagues the Democrat Party and its radical Leftist base. The recent declaration by Sonny Hostin that the United States is a “failed experiment” presents a teachable moment about this metastasizing cancer across our nation, especially among younger generations: the misunderstanding of “a more perfect union” in our Constitution’s Preamble.

I discuss this in depth in a featured article, “No, Sonny. It’s About The Quest FOR A More Perfect Union.”

Then Kyle and I talk about Iran, the clown show that is the elections...

In this segment, I open with an intro to the main topic that Kyle and I discuss this week: John Thune and the rest of the milquetoast Republicans in the US Senate who just can’t find it in their wheelhouse to get Mr. Trump’s mandated agenda codified into law.

I discuss this in depth in a featured article, “Just 53 Days Left in a City of Broken Promises.”

Then we touch a little bit on Iran and the Democrats’ love of urban ghettos.

We take these topics in-depth in The Corner of the Bar se...

In this segment, I start by addressing a couple of things that people under 65 or who haven’t been affected by the news of a diagnosed terminal illness seldom think about: Social Security Disability and Medicare. The truth will shock you.

Then, Kyle and I discuss the mullahs of Iran and the Iran issue, along with the issues of the Democrats and their toady media allies.

We take these topics in-depth in The Corner of the Bar segment.

I finish up by returning to the topic of the predictions those with terminal disease di...

In this segment, Kyle and I start off by talking about Memorial Day, its meaning, and how we have to think of it as more than a three-day weekend. We then turn to Iran, the mullahs of Democrat California, and the RINOs’ humiliation in the recent Mid-Term Primary Elections.

We take these topics in-depth in The Corner of the Bar segment.

I finish up by returning to the topic of Memorial Day.

I can’t express how important it is for Republicans, Conservatives, conservative-minded Independents, and Libertarians to turn out at the polls, not...

In this segment, we talk about Iran and President Trump’s trip to China, and some of the things discussed during his meeting with President Xi. We take on the California gubernatorial race and pivot to the disappointment that is John “Mitch Lite” Thune. And we take on a little TDS and Democrat division for good measure.

Kyle and I take these topics in-depth in The Corner of the Bar segment.

I finish up by offering my take on the lunacy that was the “All Roads Lead to the South” Rally that the desperate far-Left Democrats...

In this segment, we talk about the on-again-off-again Iran conflict and how it is stunningly incredulous that feminists in the West aren’t raining ire down on the misogynist mullahs of Iran. We move on to addressing Dime Store Obama 2.0 (Hakeem Jeffries) and how he has fallen in line with the “if the definition of a word or the meaning of a phrase doesn’t suit your agenda, you can simply make-up a new meaning and have at it.”

Kyle and I take these topics in-depth in The Corner of the Bar segment.

I finish up by of...

In this segment, we talk about the recent US Supreme Court decision that ruled against using race as a factor in congressional districting and required Louisiana to suspend its upcoming primary elections to enforce the ruling, redistricting the state to remove race as a districting element.

We move on to why the far-Left of the Democrat Party is apoplectic about this ruling, going so far as to shoot their mouths off about SCOTUS term-limits and packing the court.

The latter is covered more deeply in my article Hate Is The Far-Left Democrats’ Only Fuel.

...

In this segment, we talk about Cole Thomas Allen, the would-be assassin of President Trump and, as his “manifesto” stated, many in the Trump administration, and those who are to blame for the atmosphere that has dehumanized the President of the United States to such an extent that the fragile-minded have come to believe that killing someone is quite alright if they don’t agree with you.

This is the topic of my article The Poisonous Rhetoric That Breeds the Assassin.

Kyle and I take these topics in-depth in The Corner of the Bar segment.

I...

In this segment, I open by addressing the recent votes—not vote, but votes—that took place in Virginia: the referendum to redistrict and the signing on to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Both of these issues are of great importance to not only Virginia, but the nation as a whole.

Kyle and I take that issue in-depth in The Corner of the Bar segment.

I finish up by explaining how China is adversely affected by the Trump agenda in Iran and in South America. For those who can see macro instead of hobbling them...

In this segment, I open by thanking those who offered up well wishes and prayers during my time off the air. I was thrust into the unexpected chaos of a family medical crisis, and those thoughts and prayers were and are deeply appreciated.

Ironically, I had penned a piece titled, Democrats Posture on Trump’s HHS Cuts Ignoring the Potential Benefits, before the emergency that became truly pertinent during our eight-day hospital stay. Please give it a read. I think it will make your blood boil.

Then, when we come back, Kyle and I talk ab...

In this segment, I open by making my argument for “regime change”—more accurately, a leadership change—in the US Senate. GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune has been a great disappointment when it comes to getting things done and keeping his caucus together. I lay out the reasons why I think he needs to be replaced, immediately

Then, when we come back, Kyle and I talk about a litany of news items, including Pam Bondi’s release and the ongoing operations in Iran.

I wrap it all up with a few words about Easter and its me...

In this segment, I open by addressing the issue of addiction as it relates to social media. With recent judgments against Meta and Google via YouTube, and verdicts validating the idea of social media addiction and safety, it’s well past time to take on the subject.

Then, when we come back, Kyle and I talk about a litany of things in the news, starting with Iran and the short-sightedness of the “Doomers” and Black Pillers” in opposing what the free world is doing there.

Then we touch on Ilhan Omar and the recent statement Vice Pre...

In this segment, I open by expressing my amazement at how people can make excuses for not putting in safeguards to ensure that only U.S. citizens vote in our elections.

Then, when we come back, Kyle and I talk about the lunacy of the Left’s consistent talking point of a “forever war” concerning US and Israeli actions in Iran and the Persian Gulf, and Democrats’ foolish game plan of “do nothing” as the midterms approach.

Then we touch on the fact that Democrats, who usually champion animal rights, just voted down protecting attacks on law enfor...

In this segment, I open by taking the mainstream media and their Democrat puppetmasters to the woodshed over their blatant attempt to smear former US Senator Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat, over her admitted affair with a married bodyguard during her time as a US Senator.

Then, Kyle and I talk about the ongoing Iran operations and how the ignorant Left is reacting to it, turning to the pathetic non-list of Democrat achievements over the past 5 years.

Then I air my extreme disappointment in Senate Majority Leader John Thune, where the handling of the SAVE Act...

In this segment, I open by expounding on something Kyle and I discuss in the second segment: Talking to people about politics. Then, we cover the current situation in Iran and a possible less-than-optimal endgame.

We then confront the absolute bullshit coming out of the far-Left about an “illegal war” which even many of the more intelligent on their side indicate is just not the case.

From there, we tackle the question of engaging the anti-Trumpites to flip them for the midterms and the 2028 General Elections.

And lastly, we circle back and take on t...

In this segment, I begin with a personal story, a recent experience that left my thoughts about the urban Black culture validated beyond any doubt. We then address the current US and Israeli military action in Iran, which is increasingly seeing Iran pitted against not only the US and Israel, but their brethren Islamic nations in the Middle East; China and Russia, for the most part, silent.

And lastly, I address the complete misrepresentation of Kristi Noem’s move to Special Presidential Envoy to Shield of the America’s. A more perfect example of how the Republicans suck...

In this segment, we take on all things Iran. After the successful, and quite frankly long overdue, dispatching of Ayatollah Khamenei and his orc inner-circle, the Iranian people now have the best chance at freedom they have had since the hostile takeover of their country by the Islamic hoard.

So, it’s astonishing to me how anyone, anywhere in the world, but for the oppressors themselves, could take issue with freeing an oppressed people from 47 years of tyranny. Yet, the far-Left in the United States, who today rule over a concubine rank-and-file Democrat Party, have staked out th...

In this segment, we take on the topics of the coward who is the “supreme leader” of the mullahs in Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, and how he has a plan to DD once things start getting hot over there.

Then we switch to the domestic front, both good and bad. We touch on the historic win by the USA hockey team for just a dab of good news, but then discuss how the radical Left needs to politicize everything, and how that affects all our lives, whether we like it or not. And we touch on the new soci...

In this segment, we focus on Iran, its tyrannical Islamofascist mullahs, and why it is important to understand what the West is up against in the propagation of fundamentalist Islam around the world.

The American Fifth Column, defined as the Marxist far-Left and its complicit mainstream media complex, the Deep State, and go-along-to-get-along milquetoast Republican career politicians (think Mitch McConnell), has done the free world no favors by placating and facilitating the spread of Islamofascist influence around the world. Of specific note is the entirety of the Clinton, Obama, and Biden administrations, who not only failed to...

In this segment, we touch on the obsolescence of the United Nations. I mean, really, has that organization ever stopped a conflict from starting, ended any war, or prevented any genocide? It’s a money pit that fuels its own impotent self-importance, and it’s well past time it ended in total.

Then we turn to the meat of the conversation: gaslighting. The Democrats and far-Left Marxists in control of that party today are masters at gaslighting the public to manipulate them into supporting their agenda. Again, without a potent messaging machine to counter their lies–and let’s...

In this segment, we take up the issue of the apathy that exists on the Right side of the aisle, especially when it comes to both messaging—you’re always going to hear me talking about that until the deep pockets on the Right actually get off their asses and fund the people who know how to accomplish what the GOP does not—and the utter lack of urgency toward not only the 2026 General Election, but the all-critical 2024 midterms.

The fact that there is a special election in New Jersey that the Democrats will win and a simple...

In this segment, we touch on the kidnapping of Savanah Guthrie’s Mother, albeit from my cynical point of view, and then we hit the meat of the segment: Why we need to establish a messaging apparatus outside the confines of the establishment GOP and the Deep State think tanks and NGOs. The Left is kicking our asses when it comes to messaging, and if we are ever going to counter their efforts, it will have to be from outside the GOP establishment, out of reach of the control from the Deep State filters; a message of truth to co...

In this segment, we broach a variety of issues, starting with the abstract lies that US Sen. Chuck Schumer issued forth on the Senate floor about the innocence of Don Lemon in the FACE Act-violating church protest and the Trump “war on journalists”; the fact that time is running dangerously short for the Republican-led Congress to codify many of Trump’s executive orders into law, and I explain the circular grift that the Democrats have been executing against the American people and especially the American taxpayer.

Then, after addressing the insult to America that is Ilhan Omar, we div...

In this segment, we broach a question that is begging to be asked: Are we a nation of laws, or are we not? From the violent lawlessness that is exploding in Minneapolis over the enforcement of immigration law to the, what seems to be, annual summer uprisings over whatever the cause dejour is at that given time, the blatant disregard for the rule of law runs like a river through our urban streets, all facilitated by deep-pocketed dark money emanating from the Deep State.

Even before the Framers debated independence, John Adams, integral in the crafting of...

In this segment, I talk with Kyle Warren about a variety of issues, including the massive winter storm ravaging the Midwest and East Coast of the United States, and why, if you got caught with your pants down in it, the fault has to be owned by you. We then switch to what’s happening in Minneapolis, focusing on the possibility that the Executive Branch will nullify lower court injunctions. And finally, we touch on the ongoing crime that is the use of electronic voting machines, Pam Bondi’s slow-walked inaction, and I make a solid suggestion about who shou...

This week, on the inaugural episode of Underground USA’s Corner of the Bar Podcast, we dive into the mayhem, chaos, lawlessness, and, quite frankly, the attacks on the Bill of Rights and the Constitution being executed by far-Left, radical, Marxist protesters–or as Marx would call them, useful idiots–in Minneapolis and its surrounding areas.

The discussion is straight to the point, delivered with no fear, no political correctness, and no wokeism, but with healthy portions of truth, fact, and common sense, three key elements to an informed and educated society that the mainstream media and corpor...

When people used to speak of America’s Marxist drift, they pointed their fingers at New York City, Portland, San Francisco, maybe Los Angeles. Today, however, one state—and one city within it—outflanks them all in ideological extremism: Minnesota, and its capital of chaos, Minneapolis.

What was once the image of quiet Midwestern moderation has become the epicenter of a radically left-wing, grievance-driven, soft-authoritarian culture, anchored not in reason or responsibility, but in resentment and pseudo-revolution.

The political and cultural degeneration of Minnesota isn’t an isolated phenomenon—it’s a cautionary tale of how quickly...
