Bruce Weighs in on the Pope Trump Beef 14.04.2026 18:31
Bruce carries over his comments on the beef between Trump and the Pope from yesterday. Trump was in the wrong for posting the picture of him as Jesus, and the Pope has much better things to be doing then kowtowing to Muslims in Africa. He should absolutely be visiting Nigeria. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Swalwell's Career May Be Over 14.04.2026 18:41
Bruce gives an update on what's going on with Eric Swalwell in court. It's definitely not looking good for him as he's already withdrawn from the governor's race as well as from congress. This is probably the end of his political career. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Constant Crime in Columbus 13.04.2026 18:51
Bruce is sad to report more crimes committed here in Columbus leading to the deaths of innocent civilians. A truck driver killed three people and a wrong way driver tried to flee from the scene of their crash. Also a police report has surfaced over an altercation between Amy Acton and her husband. I wonder why the local news is completely ignoring it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy inform...
Swalwell Can't Be Governor But Working in Congress is Fine 13.04.2026 18:43
Bruce takes a look at the Eric Swalwell saga. He has retracted his name from the Governor's race, but not before receiving some support from a few heavy hitters. Also, it's interesting to note that nobody is calling for him to step down from congress over these sexual assault allegations. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Beef Between the Pope and the President 13.04.2026 18:47
Bruce examines the social media beef between the pope and President Trump. They both have more important things to be focused on and need to stay away from attacking each other on social media. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Money Monday 13.04.2026 18:40
Bruce chats with Josh Pick about the economy and tax season. They discuss some tips on making sure you get your taxes done on time and ways to file for an extension if you need more time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ongoing Negotiations in Iran 10.04.2026 18:50
Bruce plays some audio clips that give an update on how the negotiations are playing out in Iran. JD Vance and President Trump have made it clear that they're not messing around. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Trump Doesn't Seem to be the One Who's Late Here 10.04.2026 18:35
Bruce plays audio that tries to claim that Donald Trump is late to the party in shutting down these Medicaid fraudsters. Well based on the numbers that show California has shut down 12 in the last year and a half while Trump shut down over 200 in one day, I'd say he's not the one who's late here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today in Crazy 10.04.2026 18:49
Bruce jumps around to a handful of different stories during today in crazy, from kids damaging doors and garages to the new space operation and Hunter Biden challenging the Trumps to a cage match. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You Do Not Need The Pope 10.04.2026 18:31
Bruce gets fired up talking about more comments made by the Pope, slamming the U.S. for attacking Iran, but it's important to note that he had absolutely nothing to say about the Iranian government mowing down 40,000 of their own citizens in the streets. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Dealing With the Kids in the Back Seat 09.04.2026 18:49
Bruce compares the attempted ceasefire to dealing with rambunctious children in the back seat on a long drive. Israel and Hezbollah keep poking each other and then calling foul against the other. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Why Do We Need Three Soccer Stadiums? 09.04.2026 18:39
Bruce takes a deeper look at the quest by the Haslam's to get money from the State to build a third soccer stadium, this one for a women's team. Apparently it's not good enough that he pays for the team, but they need to have a show of faith from the community as well before the team can move forward. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Guest Matt Mayer 09.04.2026 18:52
Bruce has his weekly conversation with Matt Mayer, and they discuss his upcoming event in Dublin, as well as a smattering of other interesting things going on around Ohio. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
How Many Battles Must Trump Fight? 09.04.2026 18:40
Bruce plays audio from Trump reacting to someone leaking the fact that they had a soldier stuck in Iran and then plays audio from idiots who want every illegal alien to be able to become a US citizen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Do We Have a Ceasefire? 08.04.2026 18:49
Bruce provides an update on the situation in Iran, and the optimism is not high. Of course the liberal media will use anything they can to blame Trump and make things out to be as bad as they possibly can. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Continuing to Fund the Wrong Things 08.04.2026 18:31
Bruce takes a look at Andrew Ginther and his empty words about fixing things and enacting change in Columbus. Until he starts funding programs that are actually trying to help the youth of Columbus and stops funding failing women's sports teams, there's not going to be any change in Columbus. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Not Optimistic About This Ceasefire 08.04.2026 18:51
Bruce gives an update on the supposed ceasefire that has been agreed to in Iran. The conditions seem marginal at best and Bruce is not optimistic that this ceasefire is going to make it the full two weeks. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Americans Need to Have a Little Longer Memory 08.04.2026 18:37
Bruce talks about all the things that democrats have said in the past when it suited them and then change their mind on when it comes to Trump. We need to have a little bit longer term memory when it comes to all of these double standards that the democrats try to get away with. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Trump Issues an Ultimatum 07.04.2026 18:52
Bruce examines the social media post by Trump where he claims that if the Iranians do not come to the table by 8pm tonight, an entire civilization may have to be wiped off the face of the earth. Trump is not messing around. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Will They Ever Do Something With This Field? 07.04.2026 18:32
Bruce takes a look at the area in Columbus that was meant to be a thriving park with all kinds of activities that has not been touched and just left as an open field. Contrast that with Columbus bowing the knee to the Haslam's so that they can build a new women's soccer stadium. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Beginning of the End for New York City 07.04.2026 18:52
Bruce takes a look at what's going on in New York City under Mamdani. He's pushing his agenda of taxing the rich, and all of the rich business owners and stock workers are moving out in droves. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tucker Carlson at it Again 07.04.2026 18:41
Bruce plays audio from Franklin Graham praying at the white house, and then he plays the response to the prayer from Tucker Carlson. Tucker completely misconstrues the meaning and twists it around to go the opposite way that it was meant. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Savannah Returns To The Today Show: Offers Easter Message 06.04.2026 18:37
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, criticized President Donald Trump after he fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Bruce revisits the US Airman rescue mission - looks forward to the Trump press conference this afternoon. Today In Crazy - New York Times struggled with the acronym for "NATO."

National Women's Soccer League - "Columbus Crew Ticket Tax" 06.04.2026 18:45
Columbus City Council members are talking with the Haslam Sports Group about a ticket tax on Columbus Crew games that would fund a training facility for a potential National Women's Soccer League franchise. Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin says "There's no reason we can't build this world class training facility while preserving our city's capital budget for things like rec centers,...
