America First with Scottie Nell Hughes is a timely political analysis program examining the policies and priorities emerging from the administration of US President Donald Trump.

The collapse of American Democracy: Redistricting wars
On this episode of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes delves into the dark and twisted world of gerrymandering and the recent redistricting wars throughout the US. A very close vote in Virginia has recently given Democrats several new seats in Congress. This is in response to similar moves in states like Texas by Republicans. So, is there any sense of honoring democracy in the US, or is Congress just one big battleground between the Democrats and Republicans? Scottie also starts out the show with a personal word on the recent shooting attempt at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. Larry Ward, Chairman of Constitutional Rights PAC, and Nate Chessis, Campaign Manager & Surrogate to Eugene Yu for Congress, join the show.
Lack of accountability: Why do members of Congress get away with the unthinkable?
Eric Swalwell is out of Congress and no longer in the running for governor of California. But a new bombshell report shows there are 27 other congressional members who have sexual misconduct accusations against them. So, why has there been so little accountability? And why are we finding out about this now? On this episode of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes is joined by Miami Republican Committeewoman Angie Wong and Michael Wynne, Former US assistant attorney. Don’t miss this discussion as we explore term limits for Congress and the possibility of background checks for elected representatives.
Belief, reverence, and the church: When faith and politics meet
What role does faith and belief have in politics? In the United States it is a major factor. Evangelicals have convinced themselves that a war in Iran is a Holy War, one written about in the scriptures. Add to that the strength of the Israel lobby, and we are looking at apocalyptic end times. Joining Scottie Nell Hughes on this episode of America First are Jake Shields, former champion fighter and prominent podcaster, and legal and media analyst Lionel. Don’t miss it!
Airborne catastrophe: Government shutdowns & TSA chaos at American airports
Government shutdowns are now a fairly common feature of American political life. But the average American takes notice when it starts to impact their daily life. Take the most recent shutdown and the inability of TSA workers to get paid. Americans are suffering with long lines at airports and missed flights. Is this now a permanent feature of the American experience? On this episode of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes is joined by radio hosts Shannon Joy and John Gordon, as well as business preparedness expert Keith Erwood to discuss shutdowns, the TSA, and President Trump’s popularity after having started a major war with Iran.
What does it mean to be America First?
What does it mean to be America First? This is the question splitting the right wing in the United States down the middle. Is America First the Maga movement as defined by Donald Trump? Or is America First moving more into the Tucker Carlson direction, opposed to any and all foreign interventions. Defining America First will determine the future of the right in America, and maybe the world, as well as determine the future of the US. On this episode of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes is joined by longtime conservative radio and TV pundits Steve Gill and Steve Malzberg.
Closing one’s eyes: The persecution of Christians in the West Bank

Now many of their villages are under occupation and under the threat of being wiped off of the map by aggressive Israeli settlers. And most prominent Western evangelical Christians seem totally oblivious to their suffering. On this episode of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes is joined by activist Jason Jones. Mr. Jones runs organizations that help bring awareness to the plight of Christians in the Middle East. Don’t miss it!
