The dust has not settled in New York. It shifted. On this episode, Peter Vazquez walks listeners through a post-election landscape where Monroe County’s old firewall collapsed, Greece and Perinton flipped, and City Hall doubles down on “progress.”

Callers light up the lines: Keith demanding Trump turn fully domestic and fix the kitchen table economy; John warning of nickel and dime governance; Lorraine pressing the information war the Right keeps losing; Charles pointing to turnout math and hard lessons ahead; Gary tracing thirty years of classroom conditioning and broken voter rolls.

Peter connects the dots: culture beats campaigns, schools precede city halls, and parties that ignore their own “Growth and Opportunity” playbook keep reliving the same losses. He uses National Men Make Dinner Day as a parable: lead at home first, model dignity, and rebuild the foundations of God, country, and family.

He contrasts poetic promises of “free” solutions with the prose of reality, crime, costs, and a city told “this democracy is yours,” though not for those who still believe virtue, work, and faith matter.

This is not despair. It is a summons. Turnout is a duty. Culture is the battleground. Leadership begins at the dinner table and radiates outward to precincts, school boards, and budgets. Truth has fallen in the streets; pick it up. Join The Next Steps Show and take your place in the rebuilding.

Election Day, 11/4/25. I sit with Monroe County GOP Vice Chair James VanBrederode to cut through the noise: victims sidelined, bad policy fueling poverty and crime, and media narratives smearing conservatives. We weigh Cuomo versus Mandami, when endorsements are strategy, SNAP with work as dignity, and rebuilding local leadership with candidates who serve. City races and courts matter; jurists of character and Marcus C. Williams offer real choices. Turnout lags, independents surge. Faith, family, freedom, duty. Vote by 9 P.M.

Henrietta stands at a turning point. Corey Brown, engineer and father, joins Peter Vazquez to confront failing leadership, rising assessments, and cultural decay with solutions, not slogans. He built schools that deliver 100% grade-level literacy and wants that same results-first mindset in town hall: real transparency through interactive budgets, resident alerts, and fast, bias-free permitting. Brown backs small business districts, early tax relief for startups, and fair, evenhanded code enforcement that targets blight, not homeowners.

He rejects Albany’s energy overreach, defends faith, family, and country, and defines diversity by merit and contribution. To restore roots, he proposes Victory Gardens, orchards, and food forests after Henrietta lost 250 acres of farmland, linking neighbors to land and lowering costs. He calls for Monroe County town cooperation, citizen participation, and a return to responsibility—where informed voters shape a free, orderly, and hopeful community.

America stands at a crossroads: liberty versus control, truth versus narrative. As federal distrust rises—nearly 70% of Americans say media bias threatens our representative republic—Peter Vazquez speaks with Joshua Philipp of The Epoch Times to expose foreign influence operations, media compliance, and the legal contours of the Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255), invoked only 30 times in U.S. history to restore order when states fail to act. Project 21’s Phil Bell follows, championing faith, family, free markets, and civic grit over dependency, reflecting the truth that only one in three Americans believe government makes life better. No excuses, no fear—build, serve, and guard the Constitution.

Peter Vazquez leads a powerful conversation on faith, freedom, and the duty to act when truth is under fire. From rising antisemitism and moral confusion abroad to voter apathy, fusion politics, and dependency at home, he exposes how comfort and compromise weaken conviction.

Compassion without structure becomes cruelty, and faith without action becomes sentiment. The call is clear—restore moral courage, demand integrity, and defend liberty through informed leadership. Courage is the cure for confusion. Listen now on the Voice of Liberty.

America’s compassion has been replaced by control, trapping citizens in systems that measure dependency instead of progress. Rachel K. Barkley, political strategist and director of the Able Americans Program, shares how faith, work, and outcome-based reform can restore dignity and independence for people with disabilities while challenging policies that quietly destroy hope. Then A.K. Kamara, conservative commentator and entrepreneur, exposes media deception and the culture of victimhood, urging Americans to reclaim faith, family, and freedom through courage, accountability, and truth-driven leadership.

Peter Vazquez sits down with the Hon. Ed McGinnis, former U.S. Acting Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy and now CEO of Curio. With over three decades at the Department of Energy, McGinnis exposes how fear and politics buried America’s nuclear future. Curio’s breakthrough turns “waste” into 150 years of clean power, critical isotopes, and generational jobs, restoring U.S. energy leadership, cutting dependence on rivals, and reigniting the nation’s will to lead again.

A hard look at truth and speech. MRCTV’s Nick Kangadis, a self-described anti-communist, calls out the culture war, dependency sold as compassion, and the entitlement behind threats over SNAP. Attorney Michael B. Morris, Director of MRC Free Speech America, exposes Big Tech censorship, AI bias, and why Section 230 needs clarity. From Europe’s speech crackdowns to American courage, we urge listeners to think, speak, and stand.
