Based Behavior is the current events podcast for conservative girls who are ready to give in to the feminine urge to say what everyone else is already thinking. Hosted by Erica Choinka, the content creator behind PoliticsForHer, this show makes political news feel less like a lecture and more like your favorite pop culture rundown.
Every Monday, Erica breaks down what's actually going on in the world, answers real questions from listeners, and goes after the narratives that were never meant to be questioned. It's smart, unfiltered, and totally based.
If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “Why is everyone pretending like this is normal?”, you just found your new Monday ritual.
Zohran Mamdani hasn't even finished his first budget cycle and he's already raiding New York City's emergency savings account. The man who ran on free buses, free childcare, and rent freezes is now threatening a nearly 10% property tax hike. We told them this would happen. Then, the Supreme Court struck down Trump's sweeping tariffs in a 6-3 ruling and two of his own appointees sided with the liberal justices. I break down what the court actually decided, what happens to the tariffs now, and ...

Election Integrity vs. Democrat Lies | EP 12
Democrats are calling the SAVE Act "Jim Crow 2.0" because it requires proof of citizenship to vote. Let that sink in. Requiring an ID to vote is somehow racist, but you need one to buy a beer? In this episode of Based Behavior, I break down the SAVE Act, why Democrats are lying about it disenfranchising 70 million married women, and what they're really afraid of...secure elections. Then, we'll talk about Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference, where he got a standing ovation f...

The Left’s Definition of Justice | EP 10
This week on Based Behavior, we’re talking about the two-tier justice system that’s no longer even pretending to be fair. The man who tried to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh just got one of the lightest sentences imaginable and the Biden-appointed judge behind it is now defending her decision. In today’s episode, we’ll break down exactly what happened, how the media buried the story, and what this double standard means for every conservative in America. Plus, we’ll ta...

Biden’s Big Tech Censorship | EP 09
Big Tech finally admitted what we’ve known all along: Biden’s White House leaned on Google and YouTube to silence conservatives. That’s not “content moderation,” that’s government-directed censorship. In this episode of Based Behavior, I break down how the Biden Administration ordered Big Tech to muzzle free speech, why the Supreme Court’s decision to let Trump block billions in foreign aid is such a massive win for taxpayers, and the high-stakes case that could force Planned Parenthood to r...

Socialists vs. Democrats | EP 08
The cracks in the Democrat Party are impossible to ignore. New York just exposed a full-blown civil war between the socialist wing and the old-school establishment, and the fight is only getting nastier. In this episode of Based Behavior, I break down why Jimmy Kimmel finally faced consequence culture after lying about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, how Democrats are tearing themselves apart in New York, and what this week’s continuing resolution really means. We will talk through what a CR is...

The Darkness Won’t Win | EP 07
In a week full of darkness, we’re flipping the script. Episode 7 of Based Behavior is all about the good news, the wins, the victories, and the reminders that our movement is far from defeated. We’ll start in Missouri, where the legislature just wrapped up special session by passing new congressional maps that add a Republican seat and strengthen conservative voices in Washington. Then we’ll talk about a major court ruling backing President Trump’s decision to end “temporary” protections that...

The Left’s Hidden Influencer Machine | EP 06
A dark-money group secretly paying Democrat influencers? Conservatives blasting Congress for “taking a vacation”? And Gavin Newsom cosplaying as Donald Trump? Episode 6 of Based Behavior is here and it’s a wild one! We’re pulling the curtain back on how a liberal nonprofit is funding influencers up to $8,000 a month to quietly push Democrat talking points online, no disclosure required. Then we’re tackling the truth about Congress’s “August recess,” why it’s not a taxpayer-funded vacation but...

The Left Rewrites the Rules | EP 05
Illegal immigrants on Social Security? A Virginia high school secretly helping girls get abortions? And Democrats crying about “saving democracy” while plotting to rewrite it? Episode 5 of Based Behavior is here, and it’s a big one. We’re breaking down Trump’s removal of 275,000 illegal immigrants (and millions of dead people) from the Social Security system. Plus, why a Fairfax County high school scandal that should terrify every parent. And lastly, the Left’s favorite “end of democracy” me...

Trump Cracks Down on DC Crime | EP 04
D.C. is spiraling with carjackings, murders, and juvenile crime out of control. And, Trump says he’s ready to step in. I’m breaking down exactly what he can do to take back the capital and why the Left is panicking. Plus, Trump’s new executive order is forcing colleges to come clean about their admissions process, and the DEI crowd is losing it. And later, we’re talking about why sorority rush is the most unapologetically feminine trend on the internet right now. New episodes every Monday at ...

The Left Celebrated Her Murder | EP 03
The Left’s response to the brutal murder of a NYC CEO was somehow even more disturbing than the crime itself. In this episode, I’m breaking down how our culture got so twisted that success is now treated like a sin and murder is just another meme. Plus, Trump wants to bring back the Presidential Fitness Test (yes, the mile run is back), and we’re diving into what crash-out culture really says about modern womanhood. Comment your thoughts, especially on Hot Take Hotline! Should conservatives ...

Trump Just Cut $9 Billion | EP 01
President Trump just slashed $9 billion in federal spending and the left is losing it.
