An unfriendly business environment, abysmal results in public schools, crushing taxes - that’s Maryland. Now they do have the best crabcakes in America and a beautiful landscape, but what good is it if the leadership continues to drive the citizens into the ground? Current Governor Wes Moore famously lied about being a Bronze Star recipient - that should’ve been enough to discredit him. Or perhaps the fact that he turned a huge state surplus into a devastating deficit. Yet, he’s running again in what can only be described as an act of unbridled hubris.
Tonight Elena’s talking with John Myrick who’s running for Governor on the Republican ticket. Stick around and learn from Maryland’s mistakes and let’s hear what he has to say about how this state can once again be filled with hope and prosperity.

I am a dedicated candidate committed to putting Marylanders first. With a deep understanding of the issues and challenges facing our State and Nation, I am passionate about creating positive change and improving the lives of all Marylanders. I bring a fresh perspective, innovative ideas, and a strong dedication to public service.
I was raised here in Maryland by proud, working-class Marylanders. I was taught from the earliest age that the most important things in life are your family, your community, and country; that loyalty and integrity matter; and that you should always be willing to help people whenever and wherever you can.
A Candidate Committed to Marylanders, not Special Interests
I am not a politician, I am a public servant. I am an ordinary Marylander looking to make a difference. I have no interest in making politics a career. The founding Fathers never envisioned serving in an elected office as a lifetime job. They believed that representation needed to change from time to time in order to ensure that fresh ideas and perspectives were brought to bear on the issues.
I have spent my entire adult life defending Maryland and our Nation. Early in my career, I served as a Harford County Deputy Sheriff - the only Maryland Candidate for Governor from either Party to have ever worn a badge. I served 23 years in the U.S. Air Force Reserves before retiring in 2008. I am a highly decorated combat veteran and continued the tradition of military service that dates back in my family to the founding of the Nation - nearly 250 years of near-continuous service to the defense of Maryland and America. While serving in the Air Force Reserves, I was a highly decorated and highly respected Civilian Senior Intelligence Officer in the U.S. Intelligence Community and was considered an expert in asymmetric threats such as terrorism, drugs, and weapons of mass destruction. I have lectured at a number of major universities throughout the country on National Security policy issues. I have presented briefings on dozens of occasions to Congressional Committees and individual Members, and have briefed NATO leadership. I also served as a keynote speaker for a international conference on counterterrorism hosted by the Australian Federal Police. This experience has given me a rather unique perspective of how our National-level Decision-makers approach issues of global importance, and on how to work with these Decision-makers to achieve positive outcomes. Since leaving Federal Civil Service, I have been a Contract Senior Advisor for several federal agencies, including the U.S. Departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security.
Throughout my career, I have mastered the skills necessary to examine difficult problems from a variety of perspectives, and to seek solutions to these issues from whomever had the best answer. I have been lauded for my ability to bring together people and organizations with differing perspectives and to find common ground from which we all could operate collaboratively and for the common good.

New Jersey’s legislators have been doing their best to destroy what’s left of parental rights. Encouraging teachers to keep secrets from parents, refusing to remove sexually explicit books from schools, separating kids from parents during mental health crises - it’s all just the beginning. Add to it crushing taxes and exorbitant energy rates, and soon the state will be uninhabitable for families. Constance Ditzel wants to change all of it, which is why she’s running for a State Assembly seat in District 5. She stopped by today to talk with Elena about her plans.

CONSTANCE DITZEL’S interest in community service began as a youth ambassador for the International Sister-City Committee representing Dayton, Ohio, followed by a scholarship to study in Luxembourg. She holds a BA degree from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.
After working in Europe for three years, Constance found her career in academic publishing. She started in Sales, and was ultimately a commissioning editor, collaborating with teachers, administrators and authors to develop textbooks. In her most recent position she contracted academic music books for the global market, resulting in leading works in World Music, African-American music, and Music Education.
Camden County has been her home base, where she raised her two children in Haddon Heights. During her work tenure in New York City and the COVID lockdown period, she was an advocate within the medical freedom movement. She now lives in Collingswood and is a representative of the Collingswood Republican Municipal Committee. Constance has become engaged with K-12 education and issues affecting our New Jersey families -- which have inspired her candidacy.
The LD5 district will be well-represented with Constance’s early cross-cultural mission, her work experience with authors and educators, and her interest in building a thriving environment for our families and local communities.

Like most Americans, Pete Sykes was on autopilot, paying peripheral attention to politics, until politics could no longer be ignored. Pete started on a journey to figure out what was really going on, and now for the first time he’s running for office to help fix the litany of problems he discovered. On the ticket to be a State Assemblyman for New Jersey’s 6th district, Pete stopped by to talk about New Jersey’s runaway energy costs, top-of-the-nation property taxes, sanctuary status and misguided public schools.

In Mesa, Arizona a teacher named Tami Staas has sued 4 people for defamation after they inferred that she was a groomer. Staas has LGBTQIA+ / queer everything front and center in and out of the classroom, and when she was called out for it, she sued. Now she’s accusing the defendants of defamation, getting the facts wrong, malice, portraying her in a false light, and intentionally inflicting emotional distress.
In tonight’s show, Elena’s hosting special guests Chris Barrett and Kevin Hammer to break it down and expose the culture of lawfare that’s permeated the LGBTQIA+ debate.

InVitro Fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy are slowly creeping into the national conversation about morality and the right to life. Careless mistakes, disregard for human life, and cruel manipulations have been making headlines for years as lives are destroyed by the industry. Still, thanks to scientific advancements, many families are blessed with children.
Can we make sense of the moral, legal, and ethical implications? Tonight Elena hashes it out with special guests Chris Barrett and Kevin Hammer.

======ABOUT PAMELA GARFIELD-JAEGER====
Pamela Garfield-Jaeger is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She has worked in a variety of settings including community-based agencies, residential programs for foster youth, schools, and mental health clinics in multiple roles, including clinical supervisor. In 2017, she had to leave her profession due to a severe disability and when she returned in 2021, so much in the mental health profession changed. The most radical shift was the prevalence of trans-identified teens and how her colleagues were immediately affirming their identities, rather than address underlying issues. Because Pamela was forced to leave her California health care position due to COVID mandates, and continues to cope with moderate chronic pain and can't work a regular full-time schedule, she has been emboldened to speak out on these issues, testify on bills to protect children and parental rights, provide training and resources for parents and like-minded therapists, and provide 1:1 consultation.
Pamela has written, "A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families", geared for families who are trying to make sense of the gender issue, and give the practical tips. She has also written a children's book about self-acceptance called Froggy Girl. Pamela is also an op-ed contributor to The Epoch Times and Human Events and has appeared in three documentaries on the harms of gender medicine. Pamela has made several media appearances to discuss these issues on Newsmax, OAN, Outkick, Daily Signal, Epoch Times, PragerU, and The Christian Post.
You can find Pamela on Instagram at @the.truthfultherapist, on twitter @truththerapist, https://pamthetruthfultherapist.substack.com/ on Substack, @thetruthfultherapist on YouTube, and her website iswww.thetruthfultherapist.org. You can buy Froggy Girl on www.froggygirlbook.com.

The New York Mayor’s race is getting crazy after a socialist was just voted as the Democratic candidate in the city’s June 24 primary. Zohran Mamdami is the man of the day for the Dems, while candidates Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa run as Republican and Independent, respectively. Trump destroyed AOC after she called for his impeachment. And meanwhile in Maine, a man in a woman’s leotard is delivering the weather report. None of this makes sense.

Gavin Newsom is probably thanking his lucky stars that his state’s burning again so no one’s talking about the perverted legislation that’s coming down on schoolchildren and families in California. AB727 is just the beginning.
