The average American teenager consumes over 3 hours of video per day [1]. Whether you’ve increased, decreased, or entirely kicked the habit, it’s likely someone in your household is screen maxing.

No worries if you fell behind with the rapid influx of newsworthy content. We’ve got you covered with a look back on all the most viral guest appearances.

Move over 60 Minutes. This family news hour has more LOLs than an episode of America’s Funniest Home Videos.

1) Eric Metaxas and James Lindsay

This one provided loads of multigenerational food for thought. Invite your Boomer grandparents over for an episode of the Eric Metaxas show featuring rising Gen X star James Lindsay.

If you can believe it, antisemitism, Zionism, Lindsay’s “woke right” trope, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and much much more were all mentioned within the first few minutes. No topic was off limits in this 40 minute banger.

2) Tucker Carlson and Ana Kasparian

Want to trigger everyone in your family at the same time? This episode of the Tucker Carlson show featuring The Young Turks co-host Ana Kasparian will get the job done. But it may cost you in more ways than one.

A membership to TYT will set you back at least $4.99/month while TCN is a whopping $9 monthly. The most bang for you buck is to wait for premium content like this to drop on X.

In typical Carlsonian style, there are a variety of words and phrases used that could get a well intentioned article like this one flagged. Tune in on your own time to satisfy your appetite for controversial political analysis. Consider using a VPN to avoid a dinging your social credit score.

3) Jack Hibbs on Fox News

This segment is great for those who don’t have the wherewithal for a full length video podcast. Pastor Jack Hibbs joins Fox News @ Night after UC Berkley protestors targeted a TPUSA event.

Watch Jack disregard the opening B-roll footage of keynote speaker Rob Schneider, then name drop his pal Frank Turek, condemn Islam, and praise Israel, all in under 5 minutes. That’s some serious ROI.

Hibbs even finds time to plug his new 40-day end times devotional Watching Waiting. Subject matter sure to excite the dispensationalists in any family.

4) Doug Wilson with Sam Harris

If your family wants to steer clear of all the drama on X, then here’s a show for you. Doug Wilson brings the raw truth, as always. This time to the Sam Harris show. Be sure you’ve got ample time on your hands, or a penchant for long-form, because it clocks in at over two hours.

Tangentially, what’s online content as of late if it doesn’t address the elephant in the room? Charlie Kirk comes up at about the 1 hour, 42 minute, 50 second mark. Bonus points for not skipping ahead.

5) Marjorie Taylor Green on The View

Family screen time isn’t complete without a disorienting glitch in the matrix. The “what did I just watch” feeling hits hard in this episode of The View featuring Marjorie Taylor Green.

Love her or hate her, MTG is making waves in the Republican Party this year. In an apparent divergence from traditional MAGA philosophy, she’s now promoting the “America First” perspective. This segment includes Joy Baher putting Marjorie on the spot for “Jewish space laser” commentary. True must see TV.

Make TV a Family Activity Again

Another notable mention in the past week was Jack Posobiec on FOX & Friends discussing Charlie Kirk’s commitment to being a coalition builder. This sentiment was echoed on Human Events Daily where Jack and Rich Baris discussed the need for a realignment of MAGA toward the burgeoning America First agenda. Suggested viewing to build rapport with the adult child living in your basement.

There’s no excuse for awkward silence at the dinner table with this much good content circulating. We’ve all got 24 hours in a day. So, stop the doom scrolling, gather your family ‘round the screen, and tune in for a double portion of good times.
