Hour 2 takes listeners from Washington to Beijing—covering triumphs, tremors, and tectonic shifts in global politics. Casey opens with President Trump’s new cultural centerpiece for the capital: the Triumphal Arch of American Freedom, a monument honoring U.S. unity and sacrifice. Trump posted three concept designs online, featuring classical architecture and patriotic symbolism that instantly triggered the left. Casey breaks down the proposed designs and the online meltdown from progressives who can’t stand seeing a project celebrating American greatness.

The discussion then turns to local education wins as Indiana Governor Mike Braun opts into a new federal school choice initiative, expanding competition and flexibility for Hoosier families. The move marks a huge step for parents seeking alternatives after years of bureaucratic lockdowns and plunging test scores.

Internationally, the hour dives into RedState’s stunning coverage of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s policies accelerating calls for national dissolution as provinces revolt against Ottawa’s overreach. Simultaneously, Casey analyzes RedState and PJ Media reports on China’s internal meltdown — new purges inside the People’s Liberation Army and a 17% collapse in births year‑over‑year, evidence of demographic and political implosion.
