Staff ReportsRep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s nomination for Secretary of Labor by President Trump has sparked a reaction that rivals a cat thrown into a bathtub full of water. Stephen Kruiser doesn’t hold back in his latest podcast discussion with Kira Davis, where they dissect what can only be described as a baffling choice for the position that should be standing up for American workers—especially the independent contractors who are the backbone of our economy.

Kruiser makes it clear that this isn’t just a simple disagreement; it’s a full-blown alarm. Chavez-DeRemer’s credentials seem to read more like a resume for a high-ranking position in the Democratic Party rather than the Republican nominee. With her backing of the PRO Act, she’s positioned herself as a friend to labor unions and a foe to the very sabers of independence that many workers, especially truckers, cherish. This legislation could force independent contractors into a more regimented employee role, stripping away their freedom to work as they choose, all to the delight of a select few union bosses.
A particular eyebrow-raising moment occurred when the American Trucking Associations voiced their discontent over Chavez-DeRemer’s policies, pointing out that her approach undermines the essential workforce that keeps the nation moving. Not only does she have a anti-trucking agenda, but her nomination has seemingly traded trucker rights for some kind of bipartisan lemonade stand with the left. One could almost hear the collective sigh of frustration from hardworking truckers, who likely feel a betrayal akin to waking up on Christmas morning only to find coal in their stockings.
The discussion with Kira dives into the theme of disappointment felt by Trump loyalists. The dynamic duo attempts to unpack how this pick represents an alarming shift away from the conservative values that energized Trump’s base. With voices from the radical left like Cenk Uygur applauding this choice, it’s difficult for any right-leaning individual to not feel a sense of irony at the situation—especially when previous promises to defend the working class are seemingly forgotten.
By the end of their 45-minute episode, one thing becomes clear: this nomination wasn’t just an oversight; it feels like a grave misstep that could see hardworking Americans caught in a conundrum of bureaucracy and union monopoly measures. While Kruiser and Davis keep their trademark humor alive, the message is serious: this administration must stay vigilant against creeping leftism, even when it comes labeled as “bipartisanship.”
Despite the heavy subject matter, the discussion is wrapped in the same entertaining flair that’s made Kruiser a familiar name in conservative circles. The stakes are high, and while it’s easy to laugh about the absurdities of modern politics, one can’t help but feel there’s a lot more on the line than just a few punchlines.
