While squishy moderate Kevin McCarthy is not at all an ideal leader for the new House Republican majority, by denying him the Speaker’s gavel for 14 ballots, the conservatives extracted HUGE concessions that give them control of policy and investigations. The resulting deal is the best of all possible outcomes for the conservative cause, forcing leadership to work with the conservatives to fight out-of-control spending, rein-in the debt, end the politicization of federal law enforcement, stop social-media censorship, and more.

In addition, I take a close look at Biden’s calamitous withdrawal from Afghanistan, focusing on those we left behind.  My conclusion: Biden should be impeached.

=== ABOUT DOUG WARDLOW AND THE SHOW ===

Happily cancelling the radical Left with the pure force of truth and reason, America First conservative, constitutional lawyer, and MyPillow attorney Doug Wardlow delivers unique and incisive commentary on the most important happenings in politics, the law, and the culture. His mission: to chart a course back to America's founding principles and help keep America great!

To Doug, this mission is second nature. Doug has spent his entire career fighting for Americans' constitutional rights, both inside and outside the courtroom. Currently the general counsel for MyPillow, Doug previously litigated cases for Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal ministry that fights for free speech and religious freedom all across the country. Doug also served as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, where he earned a reputation as a principled conservative warrior, and he was the 2018 Republican nominee for Minnesota Attorney General.
