Something happened to America this past year. It was the year when being white became a crime. It was the year of the pandemic. It was the year the election turned upside down. It was the year that America lost its mind. One of America's most insidious social developments in recent years is what they call the “Cancel Culture.” If people don't like you or what you say, they simply cancel you. They cancel your speech, your book, your name, your voice. And they get you fired. Today's latest actors in this arena are Black Lives Matter members and the people with whom they demonstrate who want to “cancel” the police. And anyone who disagrees with them risks getting ‘canceled,' too.  You don't like my flag? Cancel it. You don't like my face? Cancel it. You don't like my opinion? Well, just cancel me! And it isn't just that they cancel you. Using social media, they lobby all their friends and followers to cancel you, too. If they don't like you, what you say or do, or what you stand for, they simply want you gone. You no longer exist. And all their friends and followers agree.  These are the snowflakes who simply can't stand that someone has an opinion that is different from theirs. These are the demonstrators who demand that the rest of us accept what they believe to be true, no matter how false it is, or unrealistic it is, or dangerous it is, or how opposed to it we are.  Free speech is wonderful, but it is just for them.  This is where tyranny begins. And it leads to the kind of totalitarianism that we saw in Nazi Germany and in the old Soviet Union, and that we see today in Xi Jinping's Communist China and in Vladimir Putin's Russia.  

The Democrat vendetta against Donald Trump just doesn't go away, but at least the impeachment farce is over. The attack on the Capitol was never the fault of President Trump, and everyone knew it. Cuomo and Newsom are getting hammered by their own Democrats. History distorted. And a tribute to Rush Limbaugh. 

Ilana picks up the gauntlet thrown down by the left, exposing their lies in the open air of free speech, and challenging their blatant dishonesty and hypocrisy. 

Freedom of speech vs. the Snowflakes at De Paul University left vs. right, liberals vs. conservatives, big tech vs. We the People: overcoming these conflicts and bringing sanity back to our country will be America's greatest challenge. 

America is at a dangerous crossroad. The Democrats are choosing to continue to punish - and destroy if possible - the one person who has given so much to America. They are trying to turn this country into their own little fiefdom and destroy the constraints of the Constitution that made it great. We have a lot of work to do.

The inauguration of Joe Biden on January 20 took place in a war zone that we used to call Washington DC., 25, 000 troops, fences, and razor wire. Our present is frightening and our future is uncertain. What is happening to America and what can we expect in the days and months to come?

The attack on the Capitol Election on January 6th changed the narrative of our national discourse. And we are closer than ever to having our America become the world of George Orwell where lies are truth, history is rewritten, and justice disappears. America is poised at the brink and our future is unclear.

“That's it. It's over.” Congress accepted the Electoral Votes, and Joe Biden will be the 46th President of the United States. How did we get here, and where do we go from here? What are the options?

These are the people who lie and cheat and steal in order to get what they think they are entitled to, at the expense of people who play by the rules. These are what politics are made of today, but it seems that it has never been worse than it is right now.

Election fraud, deep corruption, and a broken system of justice. America is poised at the brink and our future is unclear. What are the options?

Election fraud, lies, corruption, and power politics have created new challenges for Republicans as they refuse to give in to the power of the Democrat machine and work tirelessly to reclaim the 2020 Election for President Trump.

Election fraud, lies and accusations, power politics at its worst, and the relentless persecution of a good man. Meet the Democrats. And he isn't having any of it. When the Democrats cheat and steal in order to win a critical election, then concession is the wrong answer. Let's get this right!

Hypocritical governors, rebellious bar owners, and mayors without an ounce of sense, massive election fraud that is invisible to the left, and the new threat from an insane Iran.

This has been one hell of a year! The fraudulent elections, the deadly virus, the huge New York rats, and so much more. Here are some of the stories you'll want to hear.

The hypocrisy of the Democrats knows no bounds. Even as they cry ‘democracy' they subvert our electoral system and destroy the foundation of our nation. And now we face off against a fraudulent electoral process that may destroy the country we love. 

Are we in the middle of a Constitutional crisis? Federal elections are supposed to reflect the voice of “we the people” - but the corruption in this election cycle is perhaps the biggest scandal in our nation's history. Can we find our way back?  Our guest is Ken Abramowitz. Ken is a threat analyst who formerly served as Managing Director of the Carlyle Group. His passion now is to share his analytical skills with the world on the grave threats that face us today. His new book, “The MultiFront War” deals with many of these threats, and how we must deal with them in order to save our nation. That's what we are going to talk about today.

A pandemic, riots, politics, broken friendships, and one of the most contentious elections in U.S. history. How in the world did we get here?

As we slide down to the final hours before Election Day, here's a quick look at the issues facing America. The Chinavirus that won't go away, the Biden Scandal that keeps getting worse, the future of the Supreme Court with its new Justice, and one final look at America as we want it to be. Host Ilana Freedman reviews the top stories of the week...

Biden, Inc. is in more trouble than ever, and it's getting worse. And an interview with a young man who quit his job and took his family to Israel for a year in the middle of the coronavirus.  Image: AP

The confirmation hearings of Judge Amy Coney Barrett is the big story of the week! But not the only one. Joe Biden is slipping badly, and the election is less than three weeks away. What are the Democrats up to now?

The President's bout with COVID-19 was a shock to the nation, and its implications reverberated with both those who love him and those who hate him. Corruption in Washington is about to be uncovered with the release of documents. What are the consequences of his illness, the cities that bow to riots, the release of documents, and the upcoming elections?

As we prepare for the upcoming elections, we take a look at the chaos in our cities, the anger on our streets, and the contenders for the Presidency who are vying for the right to solve the problems at the heart of our nation. Special: An analysis of the first Presidential debate. Michael Johns joins Ilana with an analysis on the election, debates and the need for law and order in America's cities.  Image: Reuters

The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg has created a whirlwind in a hurricane and the country is reeling as the 2020 elections get closer. Threats of a firestorm if Biden is not elected. Barrels of dark money flowing into Democrat coffers. How will Trump be able to fight this and win?

Our cities are dysfunctional, our politics get more nasty every day, the weather is crazy with high winds, fires, and floods, and yet, there is an island of hope that found its way to the White House on September 15th. 

American cities are in flames, the country is facing a pivotal election, and the anarchists and socialists are threatening civil war. What would that look like? How will America survive? This is a must listen for a no nonsense look at what may happen next.  Image: Insurrection

What do the Democrat and Republican Conventions, the China Virus, the riots on the streets, and the flight from the city all have in common? They are all challenges that Americans have to face today. And what's next?

In this episode of The Freedman Report, Ilana is joined by Michael Johns, a former White House speechwriter, Heritage Foundation foreign policy analyst, and national Tea Party movement co-founder. Michael is also co-host of Viewpoint Presents with Malcolm and Michael Johns, which airs on America Out Loud every Sunday at 11am Eastern Time. Ilana and Michael discuss what seems to be a world on fire: costly far left violence and arson in the streets of some of America's largest cities, the peaking and threat to China's massive Three Gorges Dam on China's Yangtze River that now endangers tens of millions of Chinese, the health and whereabouts of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, and the vast and ongoing global persecution of Christians.

The Virtual Democrat National Convention shed some light on the Democrat's game plan in the coming weeks - full of lies and innuendos. The riots are getting worse, but the Democrats ignored them. And the Israel-UAE agreement to normalize relations. 

Chicago's Magnificent Mile is no longer magnificent. The riots on our city streets are a symptom of a greater illness as the November election gets closer. On today's show, Michael Johns joins me and we discuss the condition of our troubled country,  the race for the White House, and what we will have to face as we make our decisions moving forward.

Chinese Ice Cutters in the Arctic? Chinese fishing fleet off Galapagos Islands? China's huge dam that may fail? And the massive floods? And what's with these Chinese seeds? What in the world is China up to?

The big story this week has been the growing number of riots in America's major cities, huge floods in China, the changing issues of the pandemic, and a circus in Congress (nothing new there).

What is happening to America and how can we rediscover our soul? This week we'll talk about the chaos in our streets, the leaders who are betraying our Constitution, and the international news that affects us here at home.

When the China Virus, and the Black Live Matters demonstrations and riots, burst into our lives in the midst of a Presidential campaign, we found ourselves caught in a vortex of a Perfect Storm. Here is what it is and what it means. . . .

FIGHTING THE INSURRECTION IN AMERICA - I'm angry! There is a whole generation of know-nothing people - most of them under thirty - who are trying to pull down the work of giants. And I have plenty to say about that. Image: Minnesota Reformer

Andrew Cuomo is a liar and a fraud. And more than that, he is personally responsible for the deaths of more than 6,200 elderly New Yorkers. Black Lives Matter is much more than it appears – and heavily funded. Trump's first rally since COVID-19 was a winner, in spite of Democrats' dirty tricks. And there was more there than met the eye. You've gotta hear this. 

Stories of tyranny appear to be the norm today, yet there are also stories of courage that need to be showcased and talked about. That is the premise of the program today. Where is Kim Jong Un? And who is Kim Yo Jong? Who's in charge here? And what's with the city within a city in Seattle? And why are they saying there is a second wave when in most cases it's really something else entirely? This will be an interesting show with a few surprises. 

The worst of the riots are over, but the demonstrations are growing and now they want to defund and disband the police? Will they succeed? Will our cities become battlegrounds? America is at the junction and the path we take will decide our future. We still have a Republic, but can we keep it? Image: AP

Just as the re-opening of America was about to begin, the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota ripped open old wounds in the worst possible way. Rioting broke out across the country and, not surprisingly, it was not the locals making all the trouble. Funded by George Soros, outside agitators from gangs and groups like ANTIFA tore up the streets in major cities all over the country. What do you do with looters who come from somewhere else to destroy your city, your neighborhood, your livelihood?

Courage. It comes in many forms. We don't all have it in the most obvious ways, and we certainly don't show it on a daily basis. But deep inside of most of us is a kernel of something so strong, so powerful that, in a moment of danger or stress or survival, we somehow find it and it carries us through. And sometimes it not only saves us, but it enables us to save others. And it's that kind of courage that is there when we need it.

Where is Kim Jong-Un? That is the deep mystery of the week. Kim Jong Un is the Supreme Leader of North Korea – the driver of its nuclear ambitions and the potential launcher of deadly missiles aimed at its neighbors – like Japan and South Korea – and even at us. And he's been MIA for more than two weeks? What's up with that?

Several major stories connected to the pandemic and how the left is trying to politicize it by blaming every difficulty on what they want us to think is the President's incompetence. But they can't fool us. Despite being misled by those who were supposed to provide him with their expertise, Donald Trump has acted in a timely manner and with the power of his office.  Image: AP

Yes, Virginia. It's Okay to Blame China! Because China is responsible for one of the worst pandemics in history. They created a monster of a virus, they released it (by mistake or on purpose), they hid the local epidemic that resulted, they allowed thousands of Chinese people to leave China and visit the world, and they refused to take responsibility and blamed America.

“It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.” The virus has brought the world to a screeching halt. And as we approach Passover and Easter, the realities of this nightmare are balanced by the hope that our scientists and doctors will use today's technology to find a test, a cure, and a vaccine to prevent this from happening again. 

We are in the middle of a great plague. Life is almost surreal, COVID-19 still has not yet reached its moment of greatest fury – and Americans are still sitting on the cusp. Plagues have been with us since the beginning of recorded history. It's how we cope with this one that will be the measure of who we are.   Image: AP

Americans are taking the new coronavirus seriously - finally - because the facts are – frankly - scary. This broadcast is all about how Americans are dealing with COVID-19 and what it means for our future.

Political Intrigue from China, Iran, and Washington -  Panic buying in the midst of a growing pandemic. The news is alarming but it doesn't justify the panic, at least not here in the U.S.; But in Italy, the situation was different and the entire country was locked down completely. In the U.S., the number of cases has passed the thousand mark, and new recommendations are coming from the CDC to keep us safe. 

COVID-19 is likely to be the worst public health crisis since the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 which killed somewhere between 50-100 million people worldwide. This is largely because there is so much we don't know about it. But we're learning, and there are things we can do. This week we'll talk about what we know and what we can do to keep ourselves and our families, our communities and our country safe and secure.

The Wuhan Coronavirus is on a rampage and we aren't close to understanding it. The Democratic debate was raucous and the fighting was getting really mean. And what they call suicide, I call MURDER.

Democrat Presidential Candidate Mike Bloomberg insults the entire farming industry with his comments on describing how easy it is to plant, water and ooh-la - crops on demand. We need to take a look back when Radio Icon Paul Harvey elevated farmers and their importance to not only our dinner tables, but the bigger economy. As China continues the losing battle with the virus it created, China's secrecy has kept critical information from the rest of the world and has put the entire world at risk. And it sounds to me like Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) was carrying out his own foreign policy discussion with a foreign leader - without authorization.

It wasn't a particularly good week for the Democrats. First there was the impeachment acquittal, and then the fallout from the absolute chaos of the Iowa caucus. The New Hampshire primaries with a Socialist winning the prize. And Virginia's new gun law. Wow! What a week! Also, we cannot forget the scary coronavirus, which has experts worried, and that cruise ship from hell.
