Next Steps Show

The noise was deafening—half-truths dressed as compassion, headlines lit to flatter the left and bruise the right. On this episode, Peter Vazquez sits down with Eric Scheiner, Senior Director of MRCTV, to chart the maze and torch the fog. Scheiner walks through MRCTV’s receipts: lopsided shutdown coverage that framed Republicans as saboteurs while ignoring inconvenient Democratic votes; glamour sh...

America says wait your turn. Take it. Peter Vazquez sits with Maát Reed, a woman who fought from foster care to the corner office and built On The Move Contracting Services the old way: service, discipline, and results. She turns MWBE certification into contracts, not talking points; uses APEX to cut through red tape; and proves that mentorship beats slogans because slogans do not build payrolls....

The dust has not settled in New York. It shifted. On this episode, Peter Vazquez walks listeners through a post-election landscape where Monroe County’s old firewall collapsed, Greece and Perinton flipped, and City Hall doubles down on “progress.”   Callers light up the lines: Keith demanding Trump turn fully domestic and fix the kitchen table economy; John warning of nickel and dime governance; L...

Election Day, 11/4/25. I sit with Monroe County GOP Vice Chair James VanBrederode to cut through the noise: victims sidelined, bad policy fueling poverty and crime, and media narratives smearing conservatives. We weigh Cuomo versus Mandami, when endorsements are strategy, SNAP with work as dignity, and rebuilding local leadership with candidates who serve. City races and courts matter; jurists of...

Henrietta stands at a turning point. Corey Brown, engineer and father, joins Peter Vazquez to confront failing leadership, rising assessments, and cultural decay with solutions, not slogans. He built schools that deliver 100% grade-level literacy and wants that same results-first mindset in town hall: real transparency through interactive budgets, resident alerts, and fast, bias-free permitting. B...

America stands at a crossroads: liberty versus control, truth versus narrative. As federal distrust rises—nearly 70% of Americans say media bias threatens our representative republic—Peter Vazquez speaks with Joshua Philipp of The Epoch Times to expose foreign influence operations, media compliance, and the legal contours of the Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255), invoked only 30 times in U.S...

Peter Vazquez leads a powerful conversation on faith, freedom, and the duty to act when truth is under fire. From rising antisemitism and moral confusion abroad to voter apathy, fusion politics, and dependency at home, he exposes how comfort and compromise weaken conviction. Compassion without structure becomes cruelty, and faith without action becomes sentiment. The call is clear—restore moral co...

America’s compassion has been replaced by control, trapping citizens in systems that measure dependency instead of progress. Rachel K. Barkley, political strategist and director of the Able Americans Program, shares how faith, work, and outcome-based reform can restore dignity and independence for people with disabilities while challenging policies that quietly destroy hope. Then A.K. Kamara, cons...

Peter Vazquez sits down with the Hon. Ed McGinnis, former U.S. Acting Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy and now CEO of Curio. With over three decades at the Department of Energy, McGinnis exposes how fear and politics buried America’s nuclear future. Curio’s breakthrough turns “waste” into 150 years of clean power, critical isotopes, and generational jobs, restoring U.S. energy leadership, cu...

A hard look at truth and speech. MRCTV’s Nick Kangadis, a self-described anti-communist, calls out the culture war, dependency sold as compassion, and the entitlement behind threats over SNAP. Attorney Michael B. Morris, Director of MRC Free Speech America, exposes Big Tech censorship, AI bias, and why Section 230 needs clarity. From Europe’s speech crackdowns to American courage, we urge listener...

Across borders and headlines, The Next Steps Show goes to work. Peter Vazquez speaks with NCRI’s Shaheen Gobadi on Iran’s execution surge, snapback sanctions, and a people-powered push for a secular, non-nuclear republic. Then strategist Christopher Arps cuts through soft-on-crime politics, defends citizen-only voting, and calls the U.S. military back to mission. Faith, liberty, accountability. No...

On this episode of The Next Steps Show, Peter Vazquez drives straight into truth and tension. From a historic conversation with both Monroe County Board of Elections commissioners—the first time they faced live public questions—to callers confronting voter integrity, Sharia law, housing instability, and Rochester’s school district failures, the hour exposes deep cracks in leadership and civic trus...

Guest host Fred “Striker” Selber fills in for Peter Vazquez on The Next Steps Show, cutting through the fog of the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis—where incompetence and ideology masquerade as progress. From Rochester’s payroll collapse to Charlie Kirk’s Medal of Freedom and the “No Kings” rallies, Striker exposes hypocrisy with a veteran’s grit and a truth-teller’s edge, keeping faith, family, and freedom...

The studio felt different the moment the microphones warmed. Two election commissioners - one Democrat, one Republican - took their seats side by side, not behind podiums but at the same table. No theatrics, no hedging, just a simple promise: let us show you how the people’s will is counted. What followed was not a debate. It was a walk-through of the machinery of a republic. They described inspec...

Three men. One debate. A city standing at the edge. Mamdani sells utopia with someone else’s money. Cuomo asks for trust he already spent. Sliwa fights to remind us that freedom demands discipline. New York’s cost of living is 68% higher than the national average. One in four residents gives half their paycheck to rent. And while politicians play hero, families are running out of time, patience, a...

Look to your left. Look to your right. What do you see? A nation confused, distracted, and divided—where crime is coddled as compassion, virtue is mocked as vice, and truth has become theater. Yet in the noise, a few voices still rise above the chaos. Project 21 Ambassador Craig DeLuz joins host Peter Vazquez on the Voice of Liberty: Next Steps Show to pull back the curtain on America’s managed de...

Mira, listen. This was a real job interview for your streets, taxes, and safety, where Monroe County's median property tax hit $3,805 last year, one of the highest in NY. Choose leadership that delivers a 90-day public dashboard, competitive bids, fair assessments, and data-driven policing with civil liberties intact, because Irondequoit's overall crime rate is already 25% below the national avera...

The moment demanded backbone, and Lt. Col. (Ret.) Anthony Costanza brought it. An immigrant son who wore the uniform, led in Special Operations, earned a TS/SCI, chose custody of his child over another promotion, and now walks the legal K-1 visa path with his fiancée because law and order are not suggestions. That is the standard. The record, clean and cold: no grand-jury indictment. A former DA f...

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...
