California Democrats Attempting to Outlaw Home Defense

March 7, 2025

More stupid Democrat tricks. We go to California. It seems that some Democrats in California are a bit upset because people actually defend their homes using deadly force sometimes. So they want to make that illegal.
NEAL BOORTZ

ATLANTA – California is an absolute disaster due to the inept policies of the state’s Democrats. From the drugged-out homeless camping in their cities’ streets, to legal theft up to $950, to the embracing of the criminal over the victim by politicians, Democrats’ policies have made life miserable for Californians who have to live and work in their cities.

Now Democrats are attempting to grant criminals the right to violate the last sanctuary Californians can find safety and comfort in: Their homes.

As insane as it sounds, the California Legislature is attempting to pass a law that makes it illegal to defend your house, property, and family from invasion. Boortz exposes how far the Democrats are willing to go to make California a hellscape and how little they care for the safety of their constituents in today’s edition of “The Boortz Report.”

Then I went to CNN. OK, I thought I’d get the other side. Their whole coverage of the speech, the word “divisive” must have been in their story about eight times! “His divisive speech,” “His divisive speech this,” and “His divisive speech that.”

And that’s CNN!
NEAL BOORTZ on CNN’s coverage of President Trump’s Speech to Congress on March 4, 2025.

ATLANTA – The Fireworks from President Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress provide The Kimmer and Neal Boortz with a “target-rich environment” of material for commentary and the guys do not disappoint! From the outrage of petty Democrats snubbing recognition of a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor to Donald Trump’s mastery at the podium, Kimmer and the Talkmaster cover it all.

Hit that play button and get perspective on the latest Democrat optics debacle and MORE!

ATLANTA – The left is losing its collective minds more than usual over the disastrous meeting with President Trump and Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy. The democrats and their leftist media allies at CNN and MSNBC howled and wailed at the top of their lungs blaming this diplomatic fiasco on Trump and JD Vance’s “bullying” and “disrespect” of Zelenskyy.

However, that same leftist media neglected to reveal who President Zelenskyy met with shortly before the blowup with Trump and why this meeting was so important.

Today, Boortz will reveal the details of Zelenskyy’s clandestine meeting, why it led to the meltdown with Trump, and the democrat politician behind it all!

Retirement Roadmap Radio: Tariff Talk – How Global Trade Impacts Your Retirement

March 2, 2025

*How will the new tariffs on items arriving from overseas affect your retirement? (PHOTO: Pexels.com)*

The federal tax system came into being in 1913. Before then, this entire country was run on tariffs and so you pay no taxes. And… and so you just paid it kind of when you bought goods from overseas. And so, we’ve gotten away from that and now we’ve got some tariffs. We got the federal tax system and all that kind of good stuff. You know, there’s so many ways to look at it. One way is to say you know, if we truly do enact these tariffs, our goods will eventually start going up BUT do our taxes come down?

I am proud to announce that we are going to give the power back to the people who read your papers. Who watch your television shows and who listen to your radio stations. Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team. Legacy outlets who have participated in the press pool for decades will still be allowed to join, fear not, but we will also be offering the privilege to well deserving outlets who have never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility.
Karoline Leavitt – White House Press Secretary

ATLANTA – The Trump Administration Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced a major change in how access is granted to the White House Press Corps and right on cue, the legacy media are losing their minds.

Democrats are Fighting Government Spending Cuts, but Why?

February 25, 2025

*Why are Democrats so insistent on sending your money “up in flames” for an inefficient, fiscally bloated government program or department? (Photo: pexels.com)*

ATLANTA – President Trump has turned DOGE loose on the bureaucracy to remove as much government waste of taxpayer dollars as possible. This is a policy that President Trump ran on and that the American public overwhelmingly endorses.

However, in typical fashion, Democrats have decided to fight Trump, DOGE, and Elon Musk to defend inefficient government programs and the continued fiscal waste. Once again through the use of their judges in the lower courts, they have unleashed a campaign of lawfare against Donald Trump to preserve as much of the government machine as possible.

So why are the Democrats fighting so vigorously to defend the indefensible? Why are they so hellbent on opposing the will of the American people who voted for this? Has their desire to preserve government become a twisted religion of sorts? Fire up today’s episode of “The Boortz Report” and the Talkmaster will get you up to speed!

Should the Survivors of the Delta Plane Crash “Take the Money and Run?”

It’s a fantastic airline. The experience is good if you’re going to fly on a commercial flight. It’s as nice an American carrier as you’re going to get, but if you turn my airplane upside down and it skids off the runway, burst into flames and there are people in critical condition, there’s a 0% chance that I am accepting $30,000!
BEN BURNETT

ATLANTA – Delta’s airplane was involved in the miraculous fiery crash landing in Canada and although everyone survived, a few are in critical condition in local hospitals. Delta has announced they’ll give everyone on the plane $30,000 as compensation for the accident, but should the passengers take it? Ben has a take on what he’d do, and it might surprise you.

He’ll also delve into the current state of former House Speaker Mitch McConnell and America getting back into the habit of “winning” now that President Trump is back in the White House.

Retirement Adventures: Embracing Freedom and Volunteering at National Parks and Historic Sites

February 22, 2025

Whatever year you retire, we all have a checkout date. There’s always a year we’re going to pass away, so every year you work is 1 less year of freedom, you know, so whether it be 10 years, 20 years, 30 years or whatever. I will have some class come in and they’re like, “Well, I’m going to go one more year. I’m going to go one more year.”

And I’ll look typically at the female part of the equation, and they’re like, “No, you leave now. I want time with you and I want time with the grandkids and all that as well.
WILL HAGLER on retiring early enough to enjoy it.

ATLANTA – Retirement is more than just a financial milestone—it’s an emotional and physical transformation. As we share the story of Will and Jen Hagler, you’ll hear how the COVID-19 pandemic prompted them to reassess their work-life balance and embark on an enriching retirement journey.

Our exploration of Redwood National Park further underscores its global appeal and the vital role of conservation. Join us as we celebrate adventures that await in retirement.

Georgia Lt. Governor Burt Jones Comments on Trump, Elon, and “Promises Kept”

February 21, 2025

These folks in DC would not be pitching the fit that they are pitching if he (Elon Musk & DOGE) hadn’t… if he hadn’t gotten to the “honey hole” here because I got to believe there’s a lot of these 501Cs that these, a lot of these, democratic folks like Stacey Abrams who are affiliated with, they were being funneled money in the billions of billions of American taxpayer dollars!
