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 show explores the foundations of the “America First” strategy by breaking down the economic, foreign policy, and domestic initiatives that shaped the agenda while examining the reasoning behind them and the results they were designed to achieve.
Rich Baris and the major midterm predictions
On this episode of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes is joined by pollster extraordinaire Rich Baris, Director of Big Poll Data and Hist, Inside the Numbers.

Trump & Mamdani: A political match made in heaven or hell?
On this episode of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes takes a look at the relationship between NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly denigrated the kind of communism Mamdani seems to espouse. But when it comes to practicality, Trump seems willing to work with the leader of his hometown.

Trump and the rotating cast of British prime ministers
The UK seems to go through prime ministers like a chameleon changes its colors, but it doesn’t seem to faze Donald Trump. One thing that doesn’t change, however, is the UK’s hard line against Russia in the conflict with Ukraine. So, will Andy Burnham continue to thwart President Trump’s peace plans? And what happens if the US tells the UK and Europe to go it alone in their support of Ukraine? Join this conversation with David Vance, independent political commentator, and Hussain Shafiei, British politician.
The Greenland deal: US moving in on the Arctic
US President Donald Trump got his way on the Greenland deal. Denmark and the island have signed an agreement to allow the United States to expand its military presence there. So, what does that mean for the Arctic region and the American relationship with Europe? Join us for that conversation with guests Karen Kwiatkowski, former US Air Force Officer, and David Pyne, Deputy Executive Director of the Task Force on National & Homeland Security.
The Curse of the Bearded Lady
On this episode of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes is joined by author and commentator A.J. Rice. The two discuss Rice’s new book, ‘The Curse of the Bearded Lady’, and the way the trans agenda has shaped so much of American cultural discourse over the past decade. Is the tide turning and is the woke movement finally on its deathbed, or are we doomed to deal with bearded ladies for the foreseeable future? Don’t miss it!
The GOP is looking to win the midterms
On this episode of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes discusses the recent RNC midterm convention. Usually conventions are only held in presidential election years. But this time Trump and MAGA are looking to reinvigorate the party as it stares down the barrel of the gun of Democrats flipping both the House and Senate. Can the GOP parry the blow and keep at least the Senate and maybe both chambers, or will the legislative branch be stripped from the president’s grasp? Joining Scottie for this discussion are conservative pundit Steve Malzberg and the host of the Mike Schwartz show, Mike Schwartz.
