The Michele Tafoya Podcast

A.J. Rice wrote the #1 Amazon Bestseller, “The Woking Dead: How Society’s Vogue Virus Destroys Our Culture.”  He joins Michele to discuss his follow-up, “The White Privilege Album: Bringing Racial Harmony to Very Fine People On Both Sides.”  As those titles indicate, he doesn’t take himself too seriously, and he has fun making fun of the insanity stemming from wokism.   Even Aaron Judge, Michael J...

It is the silly season… and things got really silly at the White House, the Ellipse, a 49ers game, and Yankee Stadium.  Michele covers it all. https://x.com/Michele_Tafoya?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Caroline Downey is a staff writer for National Review.  Her observations of the gender gap in the 2024 election are razor sharp.  She joins Michele to discuss what men are telling her about women, politics, and Kamala Harris. https://x.com/carolinedowney_?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://x.com/NRO   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After voting democrat all her life, Julie Hamill cried when Donald Trump was elected in 2016.  The young lawyer and mother of three also stopped communicating with her Dad, a Republican.  Today, she is a different person with an entirely new perspective.  What happened over the last eight years that led to her about face?   Battling feelings of shame and embarrassment, Julie tells Michele her stor...

This may have been one of the most iconic weeks in politics.  Between Donald Trump making fries and friends at McDonalds, to Elon Musk talking about Sharks, to Kamala Harris dishing up another word casserole.  Michele reviews the best of the week. https://x.com/Michele_Tafoya?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why are many Black men rejecting Kamala Harris in favor of Donald Trump?  Michele asked Malcolm Flex, who had some fascinating explanations.  There is no way to describe Flex in a paragraph.  He’s an MMA athlete, a writer, a self-described “libertarian-centrist,” a Dad, and a political junkie.  And he’s based.  That’s a good thing, in case you weren’t aware!  This one is a can’t miss. https://x.co...

Evan Barker spent most of her adult life working for democrat campaigns.  She was a prolific fundraiser.  But something changed.  The party changed.  And after being at the DNC, Barker made a decision.  She takes us through her journey in this must-listen episode. https://x.com/evanwch   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Could we please have some sanity?  Larry David is suffering severe TDS; Kamala is lying again; and Kamala is lying… again.  Michele calls it all out. https://x.com/Michele_Tafoya?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://micheletafoya.com/   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finally, a humorous film about Donald Trump.  Filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza uses his latest project to ask the question, “How can (Trump) be so intensely loved and hated?”  Actor Siaka Massoquoi is a scene-stealer in the movie.  He joins Michele to discuss the racial elements of the love/hate relationship with the 45th President.  It also happens that Massoquoi  was at the Capitol as a private citizen...

Log Cabin Republicans is the nation’s largest Republican organization dedicated to representing LGBT conservatives and allies.  Meet the President of the group, Charles Moran.  And find out who his organization is endorsing for President… and why. https://x.com/charlestmoran?lang=en https://x.com/LogCabinGOP https://x.com/GetOutspokenUSA https://www.cornerstonegi.com/about/charles-moran.php   See...

Jaimee Michell calls herself “The Gay Who Strayed” and “The OG Right Wing Lesbian.” She founded Gays Against Groomers, which calls itself “An organization fighting back from inside the community against the sexualization, indoctrination and medicalization of children happening under the guise of ‘LGBTQIA+.’” And she has clearly struck a nerve. https://x.com/againstgrmrs https://x.com/thegaywhostra...

Today we reflect on the horror of October 7, 2023, and the ongoing conflict in the region.  We hear from Kamala Harris, and some children of Israel.  We conclude on a lighter note with some observations from Jim Geraghty.  He weighs in on the VP debate, Doug Emhoff, and more. https://x.com/jimgeraghty?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://www.amazon.com/stores/Jim-Geraghty...

Senator Marsha Blackburn joins the podcast to describe the horrific scenes Hurricane Helene has wrought in her state of Tennessee.  We also talk Title IX and the 2024 presidential race. https://x.com/MarshaBlackburn?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://www.blackburn.senate.gov/   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim Walz scares the hell out of me.  While Joe Scarborough says Walz would make “a good neighbor,” I’ve lived in Walz’ neighborhood … and it ain’t fun.  I hope viewers of the Vice Presidential Debate saw the real Tim Walz — the one who lies about a lot of things.  We review the debate and welcome Erin Brownback, author of “Stolen Valor: The Military Fraud and Government Failure of Tim Walz.”  As a...

Mock and Daisy are the Chicks on the Right.  They join Michele to talk about what they’d like to see in America’s first female president — and why Kamala Harris does not foot the bill.  Plus, why the choice of Tim Walz as her running mate was so shortsighted.  And why are women obsessed with abortion? https://x.com/chicksonright?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://chicks...

Is America actually being governed by the people, as it was originally set up to do?  Are the citizens truly participating in a representative democracy?  Author Ned Ryun says, “No.”. Agencies — like the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Education Agency, etc — are running the show.  Unelected elitists believe they know what’s best for everyone, and they decide how legislation is writt...

Alice Marie Johnson was serving life without parole plus twenty-five years in federal prison.  She didn’t know who Kim Kardashian was.  But it was Kardashian’s influence and her plea to then President Trump that led to Johnson’s pardon.  Johnson now advocates for criminal justice reform.  And she has a lot to say about Trump Derangement Syndrome. NOTE — Audio of this video is clear as day.  Howeve...

There is a rare breed of human who can make complex issues seem easy.  Larry Alex Taunton is such a human.  He’s been to the World Economic Forum twice (not for the reasons one usually goes).  He’s been to Cuba (though he may never be allowed back in.). He’s been virtually banned from returning to China.  And he’s visited the tomb of Karl Marx.  You’d want this guy at your dinner party. https://x....

Mike Sperrazza is a lifelong New Yorker, citizen of Buffalo, Girl-Dad, and a finance guy.  He is also an unabashed Trump supporter.  Why?  Money.  Oh, and Capitalism.  And jobs.  Listen for yourself. https://financialguysmedia.com/ https://x.com/mikeasperrazza?lang=en https://www.instagram.com/mikeasperrazza/ https://linktr.ee/sperrazza   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With no apologies to the “defund” movement, meet Officer Deon Joseph. After patrolling Skid Row for years, the man has seen everything. And he’s not afraid to tell the truth about it — no matter how much backlash he gets. https://x.com/ofcrdeonjoseph?lang=en https://www.deonjoseph1.org/   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the wake of the second assassination attempt on former President Trump, X went wild.  Michele shares ten notable posts.  Plus, former Border Patrol Chief Chris Clem spits some truth about illegal immigration. https://x.com/CClemOfficial?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://www.chrisclemofficial.com/   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The ABC Moderators did not fact-check Kamala Harris during the debate.  But the NY Post did.  Michele shares the results.  Plus Vince Everett Ellison discusses his new book. “The End of Tolerance: How Democrats Use the Sin of Tolerance to Destroy America." https://www.amazon.com/End-Tolerance-Democrats-Destroy-America/dp/B0D9R9YSPY https://vinceeellison.com/   See omnystudio.com/listener for priva...

We owe it to every victim of the 9/11 terror attacks to remember them on this day.  I wonder what they would all think of the divisive state of our country 23 years later?  The ABC Debate last night proved we are two Americas now.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He has 1.6 million followers on X. He walks the walk that few people are willing to take. And he might not be what you expect of a Trump supporter.

Dan Dakich, host of Don’t @ Me on https://www.outkick.com/shows/dont-me-with-dan-dakich, may rub some people the wrong way.  Other people love him.  In that way, he’s a bit like his former Indiana Basketball Coach Bob Knight.  Love him or not, you’ll want to hear what he has to say about … everything.
