Episode 90 opens with an activist’s X post describing dogs as “unclean,” a remark that set off a wave of online speculation about Muslims supposedly trying to ban pets in New York City—despite no such proposal ever being formally introduced. From there, the hosts move to the debate surrounding Congress’s BOWOW Act, where dogs again entered the political conversation, this time as part of an immigration‑related messaging fight rather than a discussion about animal welfare or statutory changes. The hour ends with an interview featuring Michael Bedenbaugh -- a historian and civic advocate whose work focuses on preserving America’s cultural foundations and renewing public engagement. He is the author of Reviving Our Republic, a call to restore the nation’s democratic fabric through historical insight and community action.
