The Elliot Omanson ShowMurphy's Market Minute | December 19, 2025This week delivered a heavy slate of economic data, highlighted by key employment and inflation reports.
The November employment report came in above expectations, with the U.S. economy adding 64,000 jobs. While this was a positive surprise, it continues to reflect a broader slowdown in hiring. The unemployment rate rose to 4.6%, its highest level since September 2021, while wage growth softened, with average hourly earnings increasing just 0.1%, below expectations.
Additional labor data released Thursday showed initial jobless claims of 224,000, in line with forecasts, reinforcing the view of a cooling—but still stable—labor market.

2025-12-1910 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowWhy Most Business Owners Stay Stuck (The Money & Accountability Problem No One Admits)Most business owners don’t fail because they lack intelligence or work ethic — they fail because of broken money mindsets, weak accountability, and avoiding hard truths. In this episode, we break down why so many business owners stay stuck and what actually separates those who grow from those who plateau.
In this long-form conversation, Ryan Christopher — Smoothie King franchise owner and fractional CXO — joins Elliot Omanson on Backseat Ballers to discuss the uncomfortable realities of entrepreneurship. They dive into why money is a reflection of value, how accountability actually works, why undercharging quietly destroys businesses, and how ego keep...

In this episode, Ryan Christopher shares the real story behind becoming a multi-business owner — from early independence and failure to owning Smoothie King franchises, building mastermind groups, and coaching entrepreneurs across multiple industries. We talk honestly about what entrepreneurship actually looks like behind the scenes, including hiring mistakes, leadership challenges, accountability, family balance, and why so many talented people still fail in business.
Ryan explains how entrepreneurial instincts are often learned early, why visionaries struggle with focus...

In this episode of Backseat Ballers, Tony shares the unfiltered reality of entrepreneurship: starting over in midlife, building trust with real estate investors around the world, managing employees in tough environments, and why consistency and accessibility matter more than hype.

2025-12-1558 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowI Went From Mar-a-Lago to a NYC Left-Wing Conference… The Truth About BOTH Sides of AmericaThis week, Elliot shares one of the most surreal experiences of his life: starting the week inside Mar-a-Lago as a guest of Glenn Beck, and ending it in New York City surrounded by left-wing influencers, LGBTQ leaders, intelligence officials, and cultural activists. Two worlds that never mix — and Elliot walked straight through both.
At Mar-a-Lago, Elliot attended the American Journey Experience fundraiser and was invited into Glenn Beck’s private collection, which includes the original rough draft of the U.S. Constitution, FDR’s wheelchair, the flag flown over Normandy, and countless artifacts that most museums don’t even h...

2025-12-0942 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowModern Men Are Lost: Work, Success & Hard Truths | Michael BoneMost people never succeed because they misunderstand risk, avoid responsibility, and lack real purpose.
In this episode, Elliot sits down with Michael Bone to break down the brutal truth about work, success, entrepreneurship, masculinity, and why modern men feel more lost than ever.
Michael reflects on over three decades in corporate America, how working his way up into finance and leadership roles shaped his perspective, and what ultimately pushed him to leave the corporate world to build his own business.

2025-12-0106 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowThey Backed the Iraq War… Now Warn Troops About ‘Illegal Orders’ That Don’t Exist?Six Democratic veterans released a video urging troops to “refuse illegal orders” — despite the fact that no such orders are being issued. At the same time, each of them obeyed every order during the Iraq War, a conflict they now describe as unjust, mistaken, or “built on lies.” This breakdown examines that contradiction and why the message doesn’t line up with their own record in uniform.
2025-11-2107 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowMurphy's Market Minute | November 21, 2025Markets tumbled this week, with all three major indices sliding sharply. The last—and largest—of the Magnificent 7, Nvidia, reported very strong earnings Wednesday after the bell, beating both revenue and profit expectations. Stocks initially opened higher on the news, but sentiment reversed quickly after the September employment report.
The U.S. economy added 119,000 jobs, more than double the forecast of 50,000, and initial jobless claims came in at 220,000, below expectations of 227,000. Together, these signals pointed to a firmer labor market, which in turn reduced expectations of a December rate cut.
However, the report wasn’t entire...
2025-11-2108 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowJohn Fetterman & Bill Maher Just Exposed the Far-Left — No One Is Supposed to Say ThisSenator John Fetterman and Bill Maher just said what most politicians won’t: the far-left’s politics of division are creating resentment, hostility, and tribalism. In this quick breakdown, Elliot Omanson explains why group-based politics inevitably backfires — and why Fetterman’s comments are less “courage” and more basic human psychology.
Fetterman described the far-left as “the most poisonous,” while Maher echoed similar frustrations. Elliot dives into why policies built on forced redistribution and identity-based conflict make unity impossible — and why reducing political coercion leads to less resentment, not more.
2025-11-2102 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowIs It God or Just a Gut Feeling? | Melissa Morris on Faith, Purpose & Everyday MiraclesMelissa Morris returns — this time in the studio — to share how listening to quiet spiritual promptings and trusting her faith and intuition have shaped her life, business, and outlook.
From animals sensing kindness to prayers answered over patio stones and theme-park lines, Melissa opens up about living with purpose, recognizing divine nudges, and finding meaning in everyday moments.
It’s an honest, funny, and powerful conversation about trusting your instincts, staying positive, and building a life that feels guided instead of forced.
2025-11-1355 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowZohran Mamdani Elected Mayor — The END of New York City?Zohran Mamdani was just elected mayor of New York City — and we think it marks the culmination of everything wrong with the Democrat Party. In this week’s episode, we break down what Mamdani’s win really means for NYC: rent freezes, “free housing,” government-run grocery stores, higher taxes, and a complete misunderstanding of what freedom actually is.
We get into FDR’s forgotten “Second Bill of Rights,” how the left twists the idea of rights into government handouts, and why every time they try this, it ends the same way — failure. We even look at Kansas City’s publicly ru...
2025-11-1328 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowMurphy's Market Minute | November 7, 2025November is off to a sluggish start for stocks, with all three major indices finishing the first week of the month in the red. If October was the party, then November has been the hangover.
Market sentiment has been weighed down by several factors: ongoing concerns about a potential government shutdown, limited fresh economic data, and renewed uncertainty about whether the Fed will deliver another rate cut in December.
According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets are currently pricing in a 72.4% chance of a rate cut at the next FOMC meeting — still more likely than no...
2025-11-1306 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowMurphy's Market Minute | October 24, 2025It’s been a strong week for markets, with all three major U.S. indexes on pace to finish up more than 1%. The rally has been fueled by a solid start to Q3 earnings season, where roughly 84% of companies have beaten Wall Street expectations so far — a sign of continued corporate resilience despite macro uncertainty.
Tesla (TSLA) was the first of the “Magnificent 7” to report, missing earnings by nearly 10% but posting record revenue of $28.1 billion. The rest of the group will report next week, with Nvidia closing out the mega cap lineup in November.

2025-10-241h 20The Elliot Omanson ShowNo Kings Protest MELTDOWN: AI Clips, Ballroom Outrage & Double StandardsThis week’s episode breaks down one of the most ridiculous outrage cycles yet — the “No Kings” protests and the media’s obsession with Trump’s White House ballroom.
We look at how the outrage machine keeps spinning: AI-generated clips, performative protests, and constant double standards that define today’s politics. Elliot even shares his new op-ed, “The Hypocrisy Presidency: When Outrage Only Runs One Way,” calling out how both sides bend the rules when it benefits them.
From the “Chicken Little” mindset to fake moral crusades, we cut through the noise, show what’s really driving the outra...

After a $270K betrayal nearly wiped him out, Martin rebuilt from the ground up. Today he’s one of Kansas City’s most respected real-estate leaders, known for exposing uncomfortable truths about interest rates, government policy, and mindset.
In this episode of Backseat Ballers, Martin joins Elliot Omanson to reveal why the Fed doesn’t control mortgage rates, what really caused the 2008 crash, and why your first property shouldn’t be the one you live in. He also shares powerful lessons on faith, family, an...
2025-10-231h 07The Elliot Omanson ShowFrom Small Town Mom to Savannah Cat Empire: The Wild Story of Melissa MorrisMelissa Morris isn’t your average entrepreneur. After taking out a $60,000 loan to chase her dream of breeding Savannah cats, she was hit with government pushback, neighborhood complaints, and constant setbacks. Instead of quitting, she turned that pressure into purpose — building one of the most respected exotic-cat breeding programs in the country.
In this episode of Backseat Ballers, Melissa shares how she went from nearly losing everything to creating a thriving family business built on passion, faith, and relentless work. We talk about the $60K gamble, public hearings, serval breeding, family sacrifice, and what it really takes to b...
2025-10-171h 12The Elliot Omanson ShowMurphy's Market Minute | October 10, 2025Stock markets reached new all-time highs earlier this week but declined sharply today following China’s announcement of new restrictions on the export of rare earth materials and related technologies. In response, President Trump threatened a significant increase in tariffs on Chinese products.
Currently, tariffs on Chinese imports stand at 30% under the existing trade truce between the U.S. and China. This sudden escalation in trade tensions sent stocks lower this morning, pulling major indices back from their record highs.
Meanwhile, the government shutdown continues, delaying key economic reports. Next week’s inflation data is sche...
2025-10-1116 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowLegacy Drive Incoming? Trevor Lawrence Trips, Chiefs Collapse & America’s Healthcare Scam ExposedTrevor Lawrence memes, Chiefs heartbreak, and the truth about America’s healthcare fight.
Trevor Lawrence was caught picking his nose on the sidelines just minutes before driving down the field on the Chiefs’ defense — capping it off with a game-winning touchdown rush after tripping twice.
Then we pivot to politics. The government shutdown drags on, largely over disagreements about healthcare spending. The left wants to reinstate funding cut from the One Big Beautiful Bill and extend subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. Without those subsidies, nearly 25 million Americans will face higher premiums starting in January.
2025-10-1054 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowMurphy's Market Minute | October 3, 2025The stock market continues its strong run in 2025, with all major indices reaching new all-time highs this week. Year-to-date, the S&P 500 is nearly 15%, while the Nasdaq 100 has gained 18%.
The federal government’s fiscal year ended Tuesday night without a budget agreement, triggering a government shutdown on Wednesday. Historically, shutdowns have had minimal lasting impact on markets, with stocks often rising slightly during these periods. However, the immediate effect has been a delay in key economic data: today’s BLS September employment report was not released, and inflation reports will also be postponed if the shutdown persists. Thes...

Elliot breaks down the one-standard debate, starting with his most degrading PT story from Fort Hood (the sink incident). We also dive into the Tylenol-autism debate — a messy fight between science and political spin. Since Trump was the messenger, people turned it into a circus instead of focusing on the science.

2025-09-2546 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowCharlie Kirk’s Death: Media Spin, Hate Speech & TruthCharlie Kirk’s death sent shockwaves through the nation — and exposed just how far media narratives and hate-fueled echo chambers have gone. In this episode of The Elliot Omanson Show, we break down the media spin, the rise of political violence, and why so many are being radicalized instead of reasoned with.
We also explore how Charlie’s message continues to spark faith, strength, and resilience in a generation starving for truth.
2025-09-181h 24The Elliot Omanson ShowIryna Zarutska’s Murder — A Wake-Up Call for AmericaUkrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska was brutally murdered in a New York subway by a man with 14 prior arrests — and the media barely reacted. Elliot Omanson and Nathaniel Vossman break down what happened, why it ignited public outrage, and what it reveals about America’s collapsing justice system. They also react to viral clips from Rosie O’Donnell, Don Lemon, and Jasmine Crockett — exploring how cultural chaos, soft-on-crime policies, and collapsing institutions are reshaping U.S. cities.
2025-09-151h 26The Elliot Omanson ShowExposing Media Hypocrisy: Trump’s Health, Rosie O’Donnell’s ‘Apology’ & CNN’s Fake NarrativeTrump was trending this weekend for an odd reason: conspiracies about his health — with some even claiming he was dead. Those rumors collapsed on Tuesday when Trump held a press conference from the Oval Office. The irony? Many of the same voices questioning Trump’s health are the ones who insisted Biden was fit to serve as president.
Rosie O’Donnell was forced to issue an “apology” after falsely labeling the Minneapolis Catholic school shooter as “MAGA” and a “white supremacist.” Meanwhile, CNN is pushing a false narrative by downplaying the role of trans shooters — even though their own data contr...

This episode delivers direct, unfiltered takes on the week’s most important stories—where politics, business, and culture collide.
2025-08-281h 07The Elliot Omanson ShowThe NFL Has Gone FULL Woke | Male Cheerleaders & End Zone SlogansThe NFL has gone FULL woke — from male cheerleaders to end-zone slogans — and fans are fed up.
With the NFL season just around the corner, excitement is building. Sundays mean food, beer, and football — both real and fantasy. But while fans gear up, the NFL continues to evolve into a woke league.
Recently, the Vikings made headlines for including male cheerleaders in traditionally female roles — but they weren’t the first. The LA Rams led the way back in 2018. It’s ironic: women have fought for representation in sports, yet when men occupy roles historically held by wome...
2025-08-2133 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowChaos & Controversy: Trump’s National Guard Call, Census Showdown & WNBA’s Wildest TrendViolent crime in Washington, DC is near 30-year lows — but stubbornly high homicide rates keep it among the most dangerous U.S. cities. Is President Trump right or wrong to call in the National Guard? The media says no, but we’re not so sure.
Trump also made waves by pushing for a new U.S. Census — unusual outside the 10-year cycle — and seeking to exclude illegal immigrants from the count. Supporters call it common sense, critics say it defies the Constitution.
In money news, new rules will soon let 401(k) investors...
2025-08-151h 31The Elliot Omanson ShowTexas Redistricting Chaos, Jobs Report Spin, and Kamala’s Big DecisionThe political theater continues this week as Texas Republicans push an aggressive redistricting plan that could flip five U.S. House seats in their favor ahead of the 2026 midterms. Backed by Governor Abbott, the move has sparked fierce backlash, prompting over 50 Democratic state legislators to flee the state and break quorum—blocking the vote entirely. In response, Republican leaders have issued civil arrest warrants and are even seeking FBI assistance to locate the missing lawmakers. National Democrats, including leaders in California and New York, have threatened to explore similar redistricting strategies, though legal differences between states make that a to...
2025-08-071h 36The Elliot Omanson ShowThey Called Sydney Sweeney a Nazi… Over Jeans?We kick things off with American Eagle’s bold new ad campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney — a healthy, attractive woman and a major shift from the industry’s recent trend of using “body inclusivity” as a marketing crutch. While most people appreciate the lighthearted “Good Jeans” slogan, some critics are stretching to connect it to eugenics and Nazi ideals due to Sweeney’s blonde hair and blue eyes. We find that claim absurd — and so do most consumers. The result? American Eagle stock is up, and the campaign is a clear win.
Next, we turn to a tragic mass shoot...
2025-07-3147 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowThe Real Reason Colbert Was Canceled (It Wasn’t Trump)Was Stephen Colbert really canceled over politics… or was it just bad business?
If you listen to the media narrative, you might think Colbert was forced out after calling Trump’s $16 million settlement with Paramount “a bribe.” Just days later, he announced The Late Show would officially end in May 2026.
But here’s the truth: the show has reportedly been losing $40 million a year — with Colbert pulling in a $15 million salary. That kind of math doesn’t work forever.
This episode breaks down the real reasons behind Colbert’s cancell...
2025-07-241h 14The Elliot Omanson ShowBiden’s Signature Controversy + Why AI Won’t Replace YouIn this episode of The Elliot Omanson Show, we break down President Joe Biden’s recent interview with the New York Times, where he defends his use of the autopen to approve a wave of last-minute presidential pardons.
Biden insists he was fully in control — blasting Trump and Republicans as “liars.” But leaked emails from Chief of Staff Jeff Zients suggest otherwise: White House staffers approved the pardons using Biden’s name based on what was “orally” said in meetings, not direct written authorization. We explore what this means politically and legally — and how it feeds into Trump’...
2025-07-171h 41The Elliot Omanson ShowBoth Sides Are Covering Up the Epstein Case — Here’s What They’re HidingThe government fails at a lot of things — but one thing it does remarkably well is hiding the truth from the American people.
The Jeffrey Epstein case is the prime example. Both parties have played a role in burying the facts. While the government can’t completely silence the so-called “conspiracies,” it has done a disturbingly effective job at keeping the full truth hidden.
The Biden administration has allowed the cover-up to continue — and the Trump administration was no better. Neither side is innocent. And at this point, the truth may never fully come...
2025-07-1156 minThe Elliot Omanson ShowElon Musk Is Lying About the Big Beautiful Bill — Here’s the TruthThis week’s episode dives deep into the most controversial topic in America right now: the Big Beautiful Bill.
Everyone’s weighing in — Elon Musk, Democrats, mainstream media, even some conservatives — and the outrage is loud. But let’s be honest: a lot of that outrage is misleading.
While critics scream about the deficit and benefit cuts, they conveniently ignore the real drivers — like tax cuts — and completely downplay the massive revenue this bill is bringing in through tariffs. We break it all down, expose the spin, and give you our honest take.
2025-07-031h 31The Elliot Omanson Show"Make America Great" Is Offensive Now? | Trump Bombs Iran – Nobel Incoming?It should come as no surprise that the WNBA is once again pushing a woke narrative. The league, which continues to struggle with ratings, revenue, and relevance, added another bizarre moment this week. During a broadcast, Rebecca Lobo said the phrase “that’s what makes America great” — only to pause in silence, then awkwardly apologize. When patriotism is controversial, you know things are off the rails. For a league lacking talent, star power, and fan interest, it might be time to focus less on politics and more on the game — before they go broke.
Meanwhile, the United...
2025-06-251h 13The Elliot Omanson ShowLA Riots: How the Left Is Gaslighting You About TrumpThe LA riots aren’t what the media says they are. Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and the left are spinning the narrative to blame Trump — and we’re not buying it.
This episode breaks down the gaslighting campaign, what’s really happening in LA, and how legacy media weaponizes chaos.
2025-06-131h 23The Elliot Omanson ShowWhat the Media Got Wrong About George Floyd | A Raw, Honest ConversationThis week marks 5 years since the death of George Floyd — an event that shook the nation and sparked months of protests and unrest. In this episode, we revisit the incident in full, including real-time reactions to the most revealing and difficult moments from the police body cam footage.
We believe law enforcement has a responsibility to preserve life, and the force used after Floyd became unresponsive was clearly excessive. But the media’s framing of this tragedy was deeply misleading from the start.
Before the full footage was ever released, the public...
2025-06-032h 12The Elliot Omanson ShowDon’t Believe Your Lying Eyes: Biden’s Health & McIver’s DenialFar gone are the days of integrity in journalism. The motto of today’s media landscape might as well be: “Don’t believe your lying eyes and ears.”
The health cover-up surrounding Joe Biden is the latest and clearest example. For years—since at least 2019—conservatives, doctors, and political commentators have raised serious concerns about Biden’s mental acuity. We were dismissed. Mocked. Called conspiracy theorists. Donald Trump was ridiculed for calling him “Sleepy Joe,” and critics constantly tried to equate Trump’s energy with Biden’s visible decline.
Now, we have a supposed cancer d...
2025-05-241h 17The Elliot Omanson ShowThe One, Big, Beautiful Bill | Drug Prices Debated | Markets Soar After US-China Tariff DealIn this week’s episode of The Elliot Omanson Show, we break down the GOP’s newly proposed “One Big, Beautiful Bill” — and challenge the media’s narrative around it. Our focus is on the controversial Medicaid changes and spending cuts, with a take you won’t hear on most mainstream media.
We also unpack President Trump’s latest executive order aimed at lowering prescription drug prices through a “most-favored-nation” pricing model — a move that aligns U.S. costs with what other developed countries pay. Ironically, it's a policy many Democrats once supported… until Trump signed it.
2025-05-1352 minThe Elliot Omanson Show$1k to Leave the U.S.? | Mark Carney Meets Trump | China’s Exports Crash from TariffsThe Trump administration has unveiled a bold new policy: offering $1,000 to illegal immigrants who voluntarily self-deport through the CBP Home app. Officials estimate this could cut deportation costs by as much as 70%.
In international news, Mark Carney has officially taken office as Prime Minister of Canada after his recent election victory. His first major move? A visit to Washington, D.C. On Tuesday, Carney and President Trump held a joint press conference at the White House. While Trump doubled down on tariffs and even floated the idea of Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, C...
2025-05-091h 39The Elliot Omanson ShowFrom Shedeur to Canada: Draft Slides, Arrested Judges, and No More Taxes?This week’s episode covers a little of everything. We start with Shedeur Sanders’ surprising draft slide and about who's at fault for the prank call. Then we dig into the controversy surrounding two judges arrested in separate cases — Hannah Dugan and Joel Cano — and the broader implications.
We also break down Trump’s proposal to eliminate federal income taxes for those earning under $200K, the results of Canada’s federal election, and the ongoing failures within Chicago Public Schools.
2025-05-051h 48The Elliot Omanson ShowHow Identity Politics Is Tearing the Left ApartThis episode examines how identity politics is fracturing the modern Left from within.
Through examples like Gavin Newsom’s frustrations with Democratic leadership, the growing conflict between activist groups, and the broader lack of unity, it highlights why the Left’s competing agendas are leading to inevitable collapse.
Identity politics, division, and short-term thinking are driving instability — and the cracks are only getting wider.

The modern era of media is more powerful than ever. For years, legacy media dominated the political landscape, leaning heavily left. Social media has exploded over the past decade, giving everyday people a stronger voice to share their opinions. Yet, many platforms have favored left-leaning content, often sidelining other viewpoints.
The tides are turning. Social media is shifting toward a greater focus on free speech, and we feel a duty to put our views out into the vast expanse of the i...

This episode was recorded the morning of April 9th—just hours before Trump paused tariffs for 90 days to allow global negotiations.
