Mike Slater is the host of a widely popular radio show that airs daily on KGB-AM in San Diego. He also appears frequently as a guest on FOX Business, FOX News, and The Blaze, and has guest hosted on CNN Headline News.
A graduate of Yale, his passion is to speak about traditional American values and stand up for the pro-life movement. On his radio show, Mike speaks to the Conservative heart by focusing on the five values that most inspire a virtuous life: curiosity, gratitude, hope, zest, and love. Where other talk hosts may use anger, frustration, and hopelessness to talk about current events, Slater tells stories that connect to eternal principles and conservative values.
Mike is the author of “How To Change Someone’s Mind” and the children’s book “Imagine Jack and the History Kids,” and was named Top 5 “Young Guns” of Talk Radio by TALKERS Magazine.
Americans are losing their sense of rights and responsibility, because the public health and government elites do not trust the American people. Americans deserve to have a choice, they deserve to have a say, and the American people deserve honest and transparent information from our public health officials. We have been told so many different things during this pandemic that we now have a lack of trust in our experts, who now feel they have to decide everything for us when it comes to our health. Chairman for the Center for a Healthy America at the America First Policy Institute and Former Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal, breaks down the three components when talking about public health and what’s healthy, as he and Mike Slater have an honest conversation about healthcare.
Biden has, not only ignored, but also violated the Federal law, and he is ordering ICE officers and Border Patrol Agents to do the same. He clearly has no interest in deporting illegal immigrants, which has migrants taking advantage of the open border. ICE Officers and Border Patrol Agents need permission to deport them, and since it’s taking at least a few months to even get that permission, they are releasing migrants into the U.S., which has caused a tremendous impact on our country, and especially in the state of Texas. It’s all in the name of power and votes for the Democrats. Former Kansas Secretary of State and currently the General Counsel for the Alliance for Free Citizens, Kris Kobach, is the lead attorney in a federal lawsuit on behalf of Texas Sheriffs and ICE officers against the Biden administration, and he joins Mike Slater to discuss Biden’s ongoing border crisis.
Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona recently tweeted about a Wisconsin study showing why masking kids is an effective way to prevent them from contracting the Coronavirus. The problem is, he tweeted out false information. The Senior Author of the study stated that they were not able to give out any information as to the role that masks play in the “observed low in-school transmission rates.” Yet, Twitter did not label Cardona’s tweet as misinformation or as an inaccurate representation of the study. Why is that? Who decides what fake news is? Mike Slater argues that this is the exact reason why we cannot trust the experts, in his latest ‘don’t trust the experts’ segment on today’s show.
Are people inherently good people? We have a government that is trying to make it so they track our every move, whether it be how many miles we drive in our car or how much money we deposit in our accounts. They are even going after frustrated parents who are standing up to the woke indoctrination of kids in schools. Yet, if the world views people as inherently good people, then why does the government feel or think that more laws will help our society? Mike Slater makes the case against the idea that people are inherently good, as he discusses how fragile our society is, and how this all ties in to the true story of civilization.
Mike Slater shares his life lesson on marriage, as he breaks down the world vs. biblical view on marriage, and an article from the New York Times on divorce being a radical form of self-love, and why it’s the perfect depiction of how narcissism ruins marriages.
We are being demoralized and humiliated as a society, yet this is what happens when the government takes control of people, all in the name of FREEDOM. That is exactly what is happening with all these COVID rules and regulations. Take, for example, the COVID rules at airports. Masking will most likely be a permanent policy at airports. If you ask why, the answer could be within the lines of looking back in history. Fifteen years ago, Abdulla Ahmed Ali tried to make an explosive out of a Coke bottle, yet we are still not allowed to bring liquids on airplanes. It was the same thing with the shoe bomber over twenty years ago. We still have to take off our shoes at the airport. These examples just prove Mike Slater’s point that masks will be a forever thing at airports, yet none of it is backed by science. Mike Slater strikes the root on the ridiculous COVID travel rules.
Breitbart News Finance and Economics Reporter, John Carney, joins the show for a special on ‘America’s Spending Problem,’ as he shares the true story behind the debt ceiling, the Left’s ploys to trick you into thinking this bill ‘costs zero,’ and the Left’s desire to keep spending.
Biden’s socialist spending spree is the biggest increase in government spending in United States history. This ‘zero-cost’ ploy that the Democrats are peddling, might just be the one of the biggest and most absurd lies told. Taxes will not cover this bill, as Democrats are claiming it will. Most of this money is actually being borrowed, and Americans are going to be paying the consequences, from higher inflation, to slower economic growth, and even fewer opportunities, yet Americans think that this is all okay. This is just a taste to what’s to come. Joel Griffith of the Heritage Foundation, joins the show to discuss the Radical Left’s long-term dream to remodel the American economy into a centrally planned government.
Between the Left’s massive spending problem, to the recent revelations that the Hunter Biden story was real, it seems to be that the Left are spiraling out of control. Major tech companies and established media outlets all actively tried to undermine and smear the people who tried to bring the Hunter Biden story forward. They were told they didn’t follow proper journalism ethics and it was all Russian propaganda. Well, it turns out those on the Left were actually the ones covering for Hunter Biden. Senior Writer for National Review Online and Author of ‘First Freedom,’ David Harsanyi, helps us understand the government’s reconciliation, as he and Slater then switch gears to discuss the Left covering up for Hunter Biden.
COVID-19 vaccine mandates are coming to a school near you! A San Diego school district recently implemented a policy where students and staff members must have the COVID vaccine in order to attend school, and don’t be surprised if school districts in blue states are going to fall in line and do the same thing. In San Diego, it’s reported that NO child under ten years old has passed away from the Coronavirus. So, why are they forcing students to get jabbed? The answer is: power. It all boils down to the Left’s power and control over you. Mike Slater breaks down your three options, if you are in a school district where they are mandating vaccines for kids.
You’ve heard the sentiment that the ‘grass isn’t greener on the other side.’ You see people’s lives, mostly through the lens of social media, and you think to yourself how you really ENVY them. Why, though? Not everything is as perfect as it seems. We know that, though, right? Let’s take Real Estate Developer Mohamed Hadid, for example. He built a sprawling 30,000 square-foot-mega-mansion in Bel-Air that now must be torn down because it was deemed as being a danger to the public. It was supposedly the house that many WANT, which makes you want to ENVY it. On today’s life lessons show, Mike Slater shares how Hadid’s Bel-Air mansion ties into his three powerful reasons as to why envy is a sin and why we should not be envious of others. Instead, we need to be grateful for what we have and never, ever envy others.
The experts have manipulated COVID-19 data. We can longer trust how many actual cases there are in the U.S. because anytime someone stays home sick, they are presumed to have COVID, and everything has now become a COVID symptom. We now have to prove that we are healthy. The Left wants you to believe that the Coronavirus is still running rampant, and that all the precautions are still necessary. In Florida, cases are down by 75%, and that’s without any stay-at-home orders or shut downs. The Leftist politicians simply cannot accept reality that they cannot control everything. Mike Slater shares the latest example as to why we can’t trust the experts.
