  <description>May Mailman is on the frontlines in the fight to protect women from the Left’s efforts to erase them. As the Director of Independent Women's Law Center, she leads the charge in fighting against the wokeness infiltrating women’s sports and the attacks on Title IX legal protections for women.
In her conversation with Hayden Ludwig, she points out that conservatives are doing the true “feminist” work by protecting women and reminding society of their biological distinctness. In addition to the impact on women, the woke efforts to deny the realities of gender are negatively impacting men, the nuclear family, and children.
God created men and women distinctly to compliment each other. No matter how hard the Left tries, they cannot change that reality.

  <description>Gone are the days when kissing babies and shaking hands ensured victory in November. Since 2020, conservatives have become aware of the Left’s sophisticated turnout and voter registration machine and taken important steps to mimic it. But is it enough to win in 2024?
American Majority founder Ned Ryun joins First Right Podcast host Hayden Ludwig to chart out Republicans’ path to victory, starting with learning the rules of the game. That means investing in long-term political infrastructure, systematically registering conservatives to vote, and building our own powerful turnout machine to permanently defeat the radical Left—and save the country.
And that starts by registering and casting your vote early this year.

The Left called it “Christian Nationalism” as a smear, but the name stuck. But what is Christian Nationalism, and is it biblical? Pastor Douglas Wilson (https://dougwils.com), a leading thinker in this fascinating revival, joins First Right host Hayden Ludwig to explain just what Christian Nationalism is, what it isn’t… and what it means for our future.

  <description>National security and our military strength need to be a top priority. On this episode of First Right, Hayden Ludwig welcomes John Mills, a retired U.S. Army colonel and national security expert.
Mills provides analysis on the importance of ditching wokeness to restore strength and honor in the military, especially as Communist China infiltrates our nation and the threat of World War III looms.
The high tension across the world is creating parallels to the Cuban Missile Crisis, further illuminating the need for American strength.
