Next Steps Show

New York is not suffering from a lack of programs. It is suffering from a lack of courage. Today’s episode walks straight into the storm: Columbus Day revisionism, media gaslighting, Middle East reality, New York’s policy theater, and the quiet crisis on our streets. We open with first principles. History is not a prop, and faith is not a punchline. While the professional outrage machine demands w...

Under the hot lights in Butler, Pennsylvania, a man stood where most would have ducked. The shots came. Panic surged. Matt Coday, President and Founder of the Oil & Gas Workers Association, did what real men do — he moved toward the danger. Not because it was easy, but because political violence has no place in a civilized nation. “We are at war for the soul of this nation,” he told us, and ev...

When the Keys Changed Hands The morning began with a handoff—Peter on assignment, and Dom Genova sliding into the driver’s seat of The Next Steps Show. The familiar hum of WYSL carried something different that day: not just talk, but the kind of conversation that reminds you what America used to sound like—real, direct, and grounded in gratitude. First up, broadcasting icon Don Alhart, a man whose...

Under the glow of the “Curves Day” headlines, the show opened with a different curve: a question. Where did America’s courage go, and who taught us to fear our own voice? The phones flared first. Dan wondered aloud if we were all just pieces on someone else’s board. Stan came in hot, straight talk and common sense, reminding us that character does not have a skin tone. Keith traced the rot back to...

Faith. Family. Freedom. Purpose. Mira la izquierda, mira la derecha—what do you see? A nation rich in programs and poor in purpose, told to trade fathers for agencies and dignity for red tape. Newsflash: purpose is not a government program. We confront the quiet cruelty hiding in plain sight: a disability system that warehouses people, a culture that sidelines fatherhood, and a political class tha...

It started with a diary and a blue butterfly, proof of horrors the powerful swore did not exist. Author Sarah McCarthy exposes the Epstein network not as scandal but as system: intelligence ties, blackmail, and experiments on the innocent, all hidden behind polished lies. Then Dr. Mark Mostert of Able Americans tears into Uber and a culture that tramples the disabled, reminding us that justice is...

America’s classrooms have been hijacked. Despite record spending, literacy and math scores are collapsing while unions pour millions into politics instead of children. In this episode, Project 21 Ambassador Dr. Linda Lee Tarver and Project 21 Ambassador and veteran educator Priscilla Rahn expose how education has become a weapon of control rather than a tool of freedom. Peter Vazquez dissects the...

Evil does not respect sanctuaries, and pretending it does is a dangerous lie. The Church has always been a light in the darkness—but today, that light is under siege from violence, apathy, and cultural decay. With Mike Harville, security director and faith-based defender, we confront the reality of rising attacks on America’s churches and the silence that allows them to continue. Faith is not fear...

In Monroe County’s largest town, trust has been eroded by politics, corruption, and silence—symptoms of the growing Van-bōōl-zal-ness Crisis, where truth is buried under image and comfort replaces conviction. On this episode of The Next Steps Show, Greece Councilman and former Holly Police Chief Bill Murphy steps forward with courage  and clarity. We tackle false allegations, expose political deca...

The Next Steps Show rips the mask off a government that has stopped serving the people and started preying on them. Whistleblower and airline captain James Lenore joins Peter Vazquez to expose massive USDA fraud, extortion rackets, and lawfare tactics used to silence citizens who dare to question corruption. What he uncovered is not a single case of misconduct; it is a symptom of systemic rot spre...

Rot in the walls or leadership in the fire? On The Next Steps Show, Lieutenant Colonel Andraé Evans - current Irondequoit Town Supervisor and candidate for re-election - faces controversy head-on.

Listen and decide who’s really s...

On this hard-hitting episode of The Next Steps Show, Peter Vazquez exposes forgotten lessons of World War II, the collapse of civic balance in Monroe County, a failing justice system releasing abusers, and the progressive assault on faith, family, and freedom. From the USS Missouri to Rochester’s courtrooms, the call is clear: America needs courage, accountability, and God-centered unity.

America’s Manhattan Project moment is here: rebuild mine-to-magnet at home or keep renting sovereignty from Beijing. CEO Joshua Ballard of USA Rare Earth lays out China’s magnet chokehold, the U.S. plan (Stillwater, OK + Round Top, TX), and the policies to win—cleaner, faster, American. Sovereignty over dependency. #NextStepsShow

Guest host Luis Martinez, filling in for Peter Vazquez: Soft targets invite predators. After Minneapolis, we say what others won’t: harden schools and churches now. We expose the double standard on mortgages (allegations re: Fed Gov. Lisa Cook), separate real Affirmative Action from DEI coercion, and call for righteous anger that restores justice—not theater. Faith, merit, duty. #NextStepsShow

Hispanic entrepreneurs aren’t asking for permission—they’re building. On The Next Steps Show, RHBA Chair Orlando Rivera and Diana Kleps-Perez (founder of Weprogy and Kindred Dynamics) torch the myths: faster growth, real jobs, local revenue, and opening doors through MWBE—without the handout mindset. Under-representation is real; the answer is mission, discipline, and access. Join, sponsor, build:...

Sanctuary cities sold as “compassion.” Equity rebranded as control. Freedom bartered away for rhetoric. On today’s Next Steps Show, Peter Vazquez cuts through the noise—calling out guilty white liberal busybodies, corrupt policies driving costs through the roof, and the scam of subsidies that keep black and brown America “managed” instead of free. From Rochester streets to Washington handouts, fro...

Peter Vazquez, host of The Next Steps Show, joins Just An Old Guy With A Mic for a no-holds-barred conversation that punches through the noise and gets to the rot beneath the surface of American life. In a world where public officials hide behind buzzwords and bureaucrats choke progress with paperwork, Vazquez speaks plainly about what’s broken and who’s benefiting from the decay. From the failure...

They’re not coming for your guns. They’re coming for your rights—and the guns are just in the way.

What if the real war isn’t overseas—but in the womb, the classroom, and the courtroom? In this explosive episode of The Next Steps Show, Rev. Jim Harden of CompassCare delivers a relentless indictment of America’s ideological drift—from firebombed pregnancy centers to black-market population control. We expose the truth behind New York’s abortion machine, Planned Parenthood’s eugenic legacy, and t...

While Democrats scream that “people will die,” Trump just handed America's workforce the most aggressive tax break in a generation: no income tax on tips or overtime. Real relief for the real people who keep this country running.   But this show wasn’t just about a bill—it was a reckoning.   Watch here: https://youtube.com/live/tLIvC_ENVJ8?feature=share   We exposed the rot: 40% of New Yorkers on...

In an America that too often trades conviction for convenience, two rural warriors rise up to defend the unborn.

They are doing the work—on the ground, in the trenches—standing up for life, truth, and real healing in a state hellbent on silencing them....

He was driving home with his three-year-old son in the back seat when the bullets hit. Terrorists opened fire with AK-47s on a quiet Israeli road, leaving David Rubin bleeding, his car crippled, and his son—shot in the head—silent in shock. But that night didn’t end in death. It became the beginning of something far more powerful: a voice that refuses to stay silent.   On this episode of The Next...

While cities like Rochester hide behind buzzwords like “equity” and “momentum,” Hornell’s Mayor John J. Buckley is rolling up his sleeves, balancing budgets, restoring dignity, and doing what most big-city mayors refuse to do - lead with conviction.   We tackled the absurdity of Washington State prioritizing Islamic holidays over Easter and Yom Kippur, exposed the corrosive rot of single-party rul...
