The Ron Show16 Joulu 2025

'Archie Bunker' = Donald Trump & SCOTUS want to turn back the clock

Ron takes listeners on a wide-ranging conversation that links America’s past to its present — from classic TV sitcoms to today’s political battles. Drawing parallels between All in the Family’s Archie Bunker and modern MAGA politics, Ron explores how culture once forced hard conversations into American living rooms — and what’s changed since, revisiting a CBS Sunday Morning segment from 2010 featuring Rob Reiner.

The show also digs into the high-stakes fight over voting rights, with Lauren Groh-Wargo of Fair Fight Action warning about the potential fallout if the Supreme Court weakens the Voting Rights Act. Plus, CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger breaks down what rising unemployment numbers really mean for everyday Americans, and Dr. T. Jamison Brewer of the University of North Georgia weighs in on the growing push against “wokeness” in higher education.

A WaPo letter to the editor openly asks "are we the bad guys?" "Telling conservatives to stop being bigots is admitting they’re bigots. And I’m pretty sure a professor of jurisprudence telling them to cut it out isn’t going to work. Hey, you guys — stop being bigots!" The letter writer cites Robert P. George's piece stating that as much as conservatives want to be a "big tent" party, they have to draw a line against white supremacy, antisemitism, eugenics, the subjugation of women, and other forms of ideological extremism and bigotry.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!
