As dust settles after the deadly protests in Iran, the Anchormen debate Iranian political analyst Ali Alizadeh. He argues sanctions crippled Iran’s economy, which fueled unrest. Over 3,000 people were killed… yet the sanctions remain. So what happens next? Do Iranians really want American intervention? Will the U.S. engage in yet another failed Middle East regime change war? Can the uprising be Iran’s Tiananmen Square moment? Or is real change in Iran just a desert mirage?

Army veteran and former Border Patrol agent Ammon Blair takes The Anchormen inside the brutal reality facing immigration enforcement today—riots, agitators, and sanctuary jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate. Blair argues ICE agents were sidelined behind desks during the Biden-Harris years, leaving them unprepared for a violent, physically demanding frontline. Drawing on firsthand experience, he claims Mexican cartels still control the border, have infiltrated CBP, compromised agents, sabotage drug busts from within—and that the Mexican government itself is a cartel and a leading sponsor of terrorism.

The Anchormen kick off the new year with Latin America expert Damian Merlo to break down the Trump administration’s strategy on Venezuela – and how a post-Maduro future could unlock major economic opportunities for both the U.S. and Venezuela. Plus, Pearson Sharp previews his OAN exclusive documentary “Ukraine: War and Peace”, revealing the conflict through the eyes of those who lived it, and why the truth has been buried.

Founder of the #WalkAway campaign, Brandon Straka, joins The Anchormen for a deep dive into the Deep State that persecuted him for January 6th – even though he never even entered the capitol, and the same Deep State that continues to hold Tina Peters in prison for her effort to expose the truth about the 2020 Presidential election.

The Anchormen ask the heavy questions: Is RFK Jr. a big enough threat to Big Pharma that they want him dead? Is Jasmine Crocket’s senatorial bid in Texas really just a Republican Op? Is Syria proof that ISIS effectively won? Has Minneapolis become ‘Mogadishu West’? Did Putin overplay his hand with Trump at the Alaska Summit, or did the pair actually make a deal that’s playing out with Zelenskyy’s demise?

Terry Schilling, President of the American Principles Project and father of seven with another on the way, joins “The Anchormen” to deliver blunt, practical parenting wisdom. He explains why marrying young can be an advantage, how to navigate today’s economic pressures, and why he believes America’s “dad-less” culture fuels so many of our social crises. Schilling also tackles the nation’s affordability problem and lays out APP’s mission to make the family the most powerful, best-represented special-interest group in Washington, D.C.

California State Senate candidate Bishop Art Hodges explores the intersection of church and politics. Rooted in Jesus’ prayer, “Thy will be done on Earth as in Heaven,” Hodges argues that political engagement and public service are Christian virtues. He believes pastors have avoided political issues for fear of dividing their congregations—but says that must end, because America’s political landscape has shifted from Right vs. Left to Right vs. Wrong. With people of faith often withdrawing from the ‘unsavoriness’ of politics, only 25% of evangelical Christians vote in California. Hodges lays out his plan to mobilize this demographic and rescue the Golden State from darkness and bankruptcy under decades of one-party rule.

Political analyst Herbert Esmahan takes The Anchormen Podcast on a geo-political journey across Latin America as socialist regimes desperately cling to power. Esmahan has seen first hand how President Nayib Bukele completely transformed El Salvador from the murder capital of the world… to a place that can now serve as a model for its Latin American neighbors. Esmahan believes God has given El Salvador a second chance at peace & prosperity to send a message to the rest of the world: no matter how bad your situation is in life, there’s always hope for redemption.
