Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You're Fired! Clay and Buck open with breaking news of another ICE-involved shooting after agents were attacked during an arrest operation. The suspects—identified as Venezuelan illegal immigrants with final deportation orders—reportedly assaulted an officer, prompting him to fire in self-defense. This follows a string of violent confrontations and protests targeting federal agents, with ICE vehicles vandalized and weapons stolen from government vehicles. The hosts warn that Minneapolis has become the epicenter of Resistance 2.0, echoing the chaos of the 2020 BLM riots, and argue that President Trump must act decisively to prevent nationwide unrest. The conversation intensifies as Clay and Buck analyze Trump’s Truth Social post threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act if Minnesota officials fail to stop organized attacks on federal law enforcement. They frame this as a defining moment for Trump’s second term, contrasting his current posture with what they call the missed opportunity to crush BLM riots in 2020. Buck emphasizes that Democrats are weaponizing immigration enforcement as a political wedge, portraying ICE as “Gestapo” and encouraging obstruction—language that, they argue, incites violence against officers. Clay underscores the stakes: Trump cannot afford to break faith with voters on border security, making Minneapolis a “crucible decision” for his presidency. The Left Wants to Abolish ICE Clay and Buck open with sharp analysis of Rep. Shri Thanedar’s renewed call to abolish ICE, reviving a radical slogan first championed by AOC during Trump’s first term. They argue that Democrats’ strategy is clear: dismantle enforcement while keeping immigration laws on the books to avoid openly admitting their open borders agenda. This, they contend, is part of a long-term plan to reshape America’s demographics and political landscape. The hosts highlight Trump’s historic success in reversing decades of migration trends, noting that net migration turned negative in 2025 for the first time since the 1920s. Approximately 2.6 million illegal immigrants left the country through deportations and self-removal, a stark contrast to Biden’s border surge that saw monthly inflows soar to 200,000. Clay and Buck frame this as proof that Trump’s enforcement policies are working, even as Democrats and media allies attempt to undermine ICE operations by portraying agents as brutal and lawless. They warn that rhetoric from figures like Hakeem Jeffries—accusing ICE of “brutalizing American families”—is fueling hostility and setting the stage for violence against federal officers, echoing the chaos of 2020’s BLM riots. Gov't Makes Things Expensive The conversation then pivots to Trump’s new “Great Healthcare Plan,” unveiled by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, which emphasizes affordability and transparency. The plan aims to permanently lower prescription drug prices, redirect subsidies from insurers to consumers, mandate public price disclosures to eliminate surprise bills, and hold insurance companies accountable with clear rate comparisons. Clay and Buck stress that Trump learned from Republicans’ 2018 midterm losses over healthcare and is now positioning affordability—alongside housing and credit card interest reform—as a cornerstone of his economic message. They argue that Trump’s proactive approach on healthcare and cost-of-living issues could resonate deeply with voters, contrasting his market-driven solutions with Democrats’ push for government control. Should We Buy Greenland? Updates on President Trump’s Greenland acquisition push, following high-level meetings between U.S., Danish, and Greenlandic officials at the White House. Clay and Buck explain Trump’s rationale for pursuing Greenland as a long-term national security asset, citing its strategic Arctic location, potential mineral wealth, and historical parallels to Seward’s purchase of Alaska and the Louisiana Purchase. They argue that Greenland could be critical for monitoring nuclear submarine activity and countering Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic, framing Trump’s vision as a century-long play for American dominance rather than a short-term real estate flip.

The Queens neighborhood of Astoria has recently elected so many democratic socialists that political observers have dubbed it the "people's republic" and a part of the so-called "commie corridor" (which also includes its neighbors in western Queens and north Brooklyn). Naaman Zhou, member of The New Yorker's editorial staff, talks about the neighborhood's political shift and why its voters are so open to electing socialists.→ How Did Astoria Become So Socialist?

Join Clay Edwards for a raw, unfiltered Wednesday night livestream packed with politics, culture, and a dose of reality radio. In this episode, Clay kicks things off with a personal update—skipping his morning radio gig after feeling under the weather, only to bounce back with more fire than ever. He shares hilarious AI-generated images of his "typical haters" and dives into viral stories of "ugly liberal women behaving badly," including a wild arrest at a Memphis ICE protest.   The spotlight turns to President Trump's scorched-earth takedown of Minnesota, promising a "day of reckoning and retribution" amid ICE surges targeting illegal immigrants, Somali fraud scandals, and sanctuary city chaos. Clay breaks down Trump's suspension of federal payments to states like Minnesota and California, Bill Clinton's 1995 immigration stance that echoes today's debates, and the Supreme Court's potential ruling to protect women's sports from transgender athletes.   Expect rants on everything from WNBA drama and potential strikes to Somali cultural practices, street preacher brawls, and AOC's latest meltdowns. Local Jackson updates include a Hinds County indictment for synagogue arson and a million-dollar bond for a road rage shooter at Chick-fil-A.   No holds barred—Clay calls it like he sees it, from liberal hypocrisy to traffic woes on I-220.

Tech founder, defense disruptor, and founder of Anduril Industries Palmer Luckey chats with Mike about the strange haircut on America's military bureaucracy—all business in the front, chaos in the back.

Along the way, they discuss why Palmer got into defense contracting, who was pivotal in the Department of Defense becoming the Department of War, and why he donated to AOC.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 8, 2026. 0:30 We kick off today's show with Washington's factory fraud. JD Vance’s announcement of a powerful new Assistant Attorney General—armed with nationwide authority to prosecute welfare fraud, immigration fraud, business fraud, and government waste—is the moment the era of slap-on-the-wrist accountability finally ends. With billions already exposed in places like Minnesota and trillions in potential waste on the table, the Trump-Vance team is putting real enforcement behind the Department of Government Efficiency and cutting off the financial incentives that fuel illegal immigration and benefits fraud. No more lawfare, no more fake oversight—this is the federal government getting serious about protecting taxpayers and restoring the rule of law. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The House passed a bill today authorizing the extension of Obamacare subsidies. The state of New York is planning on providing free daycare for children under 2 years of age. California, Superior Court judge Israel Claustro pled guilty to one count of mail fraud in conjunction with a worker's compensation scheme. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We're pulling back the curtain on the OnlyFans economy and why it’s exploding in the middle of an affordability crisis. While Americans say they’re struggling with inflation, groceries, rent, and healthcare, the U.S. alone is now spending billions of dollars on online pornography, with OnlyFans revenue still climbing, not slowing down. We dig into the darker side of the digital age—how porn monetizes loneliness, isolation, and insecurity, teaches people to tie their worth to their bodies, and replaces real human connection with paid digital fantasy. The takeaway is unsettling: this isn’t just about adult content—it’s about a culture quietly being reshaped by big money, tech, and emotional emptiness. 16:00 The American Mamas take on the Minneapolis ICE shooting that left a woman dead after a chaotic confrontation with federal agents. Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson break down what really happened, why video evidence matters, and how political rhetoric, media spin, and calls to “resist ICE” are putting lives in danger. We ask the hard questions about law enforcement, activist incitement, and personal responsibility, while also recognizing the tragedy for the woman’s family. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy champion turned host, jumped into the political fray with a social-media swipe at President Trump and the Trump administration. What Jennings posted wasn’t just criticism, but a call for political vengeance, the kind of rhetoric that’s already tearing the country apart. It's a stark contrast of Alex Trebek's steady, apolitical legacy and proof that being brilliant with facts doesn’t automatically make someone wise. 26:00 We Dig Deep into President Trump’s warning to the military-industrial complex, after he blasted major defense contractors for overpaying executives and shareholders while under-delivering for national security. It's a closed, cushy industry that’s lost its edge—too little competition, too much comfort, and not nearly enough urgency. China churns out more than a hundred ships a year while the U.S. barely manages a handful. Trump isn’t just talking about money—he’s demanding a wartime mindset, forcing contractors to reinvest in factories, workers, and real production instead of stock buybacks and bloated paychecks, because complacency in defense doesn’t just waste dollars—it risks the country’s survival. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We take on Stephen A. Smith’s reaction to the Minneapolis ICE shooting, where he said the officer was justified—but should have “shot the tires instead.” But real-world policing doesn’t work like TV, especially when an officer is being run over by a car on icy pavement. We explain why officers are trained to shoot center mass, not tires or limbs, because missing in a split second can be fatal. Tragedy wasn’t caused by the officer—it was the result of a protester making reckless, deadly choices, while commentators safely second-guess from the sidelines. 35:30 President Trump decided to pull the U.S. out of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and that's a Bright Spot! The IPCC has long blurred science and politics, pushing alarmist conclusions that its own data doesn’t support while silencing dissenting research. The agency exists more to control policy and funding than to report honest science. Trump’s move to withdraw from the IPCC—and dozens of other UN groups—cuts off money to institutions that undermine U.S. interests and putting America first. 39:30 We take on the AOC–Jesse Watters dust-up, where a crude offhand joke from the Fox News host has now turned into a full-blown political grievance. Watters’ comment about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Stephen Miller was dumb and unnecessary, but does it really rise to the level of “sexual harassment” the congresswoman claims?

Host Clay Edwards argues that liberals are misguided by Democratic politicians who promote disrespect toward law enforcement, including ICE agents, by trashing cops and elevating criminals as victims. He cites figures like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Ilhan Omar, AOC, and Kamala Harris for rhetoric that empowers anti-police attitudes, leading to violent protests, non-compliance, and attempts to harm agents—like the recent Minneapolis and Portland incidents. Edwards compares this to how supporters internalize political messaging, fostering a belief that defying federal authority is justified, even heroic, while ignoring consequences and enabling "domestic terrorists" in blue cities. He warns this creates a dangerous cycle of unrest, contrasting it with conservative support for police and self-defense.

A statement from Gaslit Nation listener Annie in Minneapolis, Minnesota:  Real Resistance I live in Minneapolis, 6 minutes from where Renee Good was shot and killed today by an ICE agent. I am 39, a white woman, with a 6 year old like Renee. I am on my neighborhood rapid response thread and on another morning it could easily have been me who was shot and killed. I feel grief, I feel rage, but I am also hopeful that her death will crack open something that needs to see the light of day. On Tuesday, dozens of people were brutally kidnapped and taken from their families, but there were no press conferences and no headlines. Today, all eyes are on ICE. Schools are canceled for the rest of the week. My manager wrote to say she understands if we need to take time off. It finally feels like the whole city is grieving in the way I have been for the past five weeks since ICE first began occupying Minneapolis, and the past five months since ICE first descended on Chicago. It feels like I can finally grieve openly. Politicians are taking the occupation more seriously. Governor Walz is talking about the national guard, Mayor Frey is talking about Minneapolis police officers protecting first amendment rights. There is so much the state and the city could be doing to assist and protect people at risk right now, but their opposition has been limited to press conferences, social media posts, and an ordinance that limits the use of city property by ICE. This is really different than playing an active role in protecting and supporting people. Actual resistance could look like tracking ICE apprehensions and accounting for all victims, running a support hotline for impacted families, providing legal aid to immigrants, tracking ICE locations and sharing this information with immigrants at risk, maintaining a list of ICE license plates, serving as constitutional observers during ICE stops, or even just lifting up the work of rapid response networks and encouraging residents to participate. None of this has been happening, and that probably won't change, but I now have a tiny bit of hope that it might. There's a recent video put out by Tad Stoermer, a historian of resistance movements, about the "loyal opposition" that puts words to how I have been feeling. He says, "When the opposition party treats an authoritarian regime as a normal political opponent, […] it doesn't just fail to resist, it just becomes a loyal opposition, [loyal to the system it is operating in.] […] It actively teaches people the wrong lessons about what resistance looks like. It […] tells everyone watching 'this is the only appropriate response. This is how serious people handle this situation.' And when 'this' is press releases, and podium speeches, and fundraising emails, and strongly worded social media posts endlessly about, I don't know, cost of living issues, while the regime is invading sovereign nations, announcing it will run them, threatening NATO and world stability in addition to our domestic stability, what people learn is that the situation might not in fact be that serious." He goes on to contrast this with real resistance, which includes developing organizing infrastructure, building parallel institutions, and building resistance networks. He uses the Underground Railroad as an example of real resistance, and talks about how the "loyal opposition" absorbs energy that could otherwise be used for building the resistance infrastructure that we need. Today, Jacob Frey told ICE to "get the f*ck out of Minneapolis," but he didn't say what he will do if they don't. We need to be thinking about resistance dynamics. When ICE does not get out of Minneapolis, what action will the City take? What actions are we taking to back up our demands? The phrase that keeps repeating in my head today is "Make repression backfire." Collectively, let's channel our grief and rage into making state repression backfire and building a real resistance movement that will allow us to protect people, take back power, and build the world we need.

It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on the Majority Report On today's program: ICE agents kill legal observer Renee Good, shooting her point-blank in the head. Donald Trump takes to Truth Social to spread false claims of self-defense and smear Good's character. In lockstep with the president, Jesse Watters delivers a glib monologue attempting to justify the killing by pointing to the fact that Good had "pronouns in her bio," was a lesbian, and was a protest disruptor. Within an hour of the murder, Kristi Noem hails the agent as a hero who "saved the lives" of fellow officers—despite video evidence showing the exact opposite. Here is a link to a Go Fund Me to support Renee's widow and children. The New York Times publishes a piece highlighting the 9 ICE-involved shootings since Trump took office. An eyewitness to the murder panels on CNN to recount what she saw and debunk the self-defense lie coming from the Trump administration. We take a look at some stills from the shooting which clearly show that the officer was in no danger and shot offensively. Nick Cleveland-Stout, research associate in the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft , joins Emma to talk about Big Oil's involvement in policy shaping think tanks and their role in the Venezuela invasion. In the Fun Half: Brandon Sutton joins the show. Brandon and Emma continue the conversation about ICE's violence. Dan Bongino returns to the podcast world with his tail tucked between his legs. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) claims the U.S. removed an illegitimate president who was not democratically elected, but he has no answer when pressed on whether the newly elevated vice-president was democratically elected. AOC and Graham Platner reactions to the state sponsored murder in Minneapolis show what real leadership looks like. All that and more.

Democrats are doubling down on one of the most extreme and unpopular examples of radical trans activism... and it is absolutely baffling. I break it down in this episode of the Brad vs Everyone podcast. Plus, I analyze the Minnesota ICE shooting and offer a nuanced take, plus critique public statements from elected officials in both parties. Finally, I react to AOC (falsely) accusing a Fox News star of "sexual harassment."Support My Show: https://linktr.ee/bradpolumboSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special edition of What's New with ME, we deliver a comprehensive, no-nonsense breakdown of one of the most consequential geopolitical moments of our time: Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela, and the United States—and why the world is reacting so strongly.This episode goes far beyond headlines.We begin with the history of Venezuela—once one of the wealthiest and most prosperous nations in Latin America—rich in oil, culture, and opportunity. We examine how political instability, corruption, and authoritarian control led to economic collapse, mass migration, and decades of suffering for the Venezuelan people.From there, we unpack the dramatic arrival of Maduro in the United States, including the powerful symbolism surrounding his transport near the Statue of Liberty and why this moment represents more than a legal proceeding—it represents accountability, justice, and hope for millions.We then expand to the global chessboard:The role of BRICS nationsRussia's condemnationCuba's oppositionVocal resistance from leaders in Chile and MexicoWhy this moment has sent shockwaves through international diplomacyOn the U.S. front, we analyze the political divide and media response:Chuck Schumer's reactionStatements from Democratic leadershipCommentary from AOC and Zohran MamdaniAnd why many of these responses appear disconnected from the lived reality of Venezuelans celebrating worldwideWe also address:President Donald Trump's statement regarding U.S. oversight during a transitionThe media frenzy and speculation surrounding that claimClaims that “it's all about oil”Secretary Marco Rubio's clarification, in both English and Spanish, separating U.S. policy from propagandaThis episode challenges listeners—regardless of political affiliation—to pause, think critically, and consider how close instability, drug cartels, dictatorships, and hostile military alliances truly are to U.S. airspace.Above all, this is a story about people—about Venezuelans finally feeling seen, heard, and hopeful.What's New with ME delivers context-driven analysis of global news, politics, culture, and power—cutting through noise, narratives, and talking points to focus on truth, impact, and humanity.If this episode added value:Subscribe for weekly in-depth episodesLike & Share to support independent mediaVisit TheMEStudios.net to share your story, collaborate, or be featured in a future episodeYour voice matters—and real stories live here.

were In this episode of Habari Live, we break down the Minnesota Somali daycare fraud allegations — what sparked them, what authorities are actually saying, and who is paying the price right now. A viral video ignited claims of massive fraud, federal payments were frozen, investigations launched, and Somali-owned centers faced threats and vandalism. We separate allegations from facts, discuss the role of politics and racism, and look at how entire communities get targeted in the internet outrage cycle.We also dive into:• the Black unemployment surge under Trump• DEI rollbacks and federal job cuts• “America First” foreign policy contradictions• Trump's remarks on Gaza reconstruction• Greg Casar's viral clip on kids losing health care• AOC calling out tech billionaires• Jack Smith: “Fraud is not free speech.”This episode asks a simple question: When politicians say “law and order,” who actually pays the price?

Tune in here to this Friday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program with Pete Kaliner for this fist 2026 edition of the Hangover as they discuss the political future of New York City under its new mayor and what early warning signs could mean for his long-term ambitions. The conversation breaks down how long sweeping progressive promises—like free buses and expanded city services—can survive economic reality, especially when crises such as snowstorms or infrastructure failures test basic governance. Pete explains why a mayor’s ability to handle day-to-day operations may matter more to voters than ideology, and how failure itself can become a political strategy. The discussion then widens to the national stage, examining divisions within the Democratic Party, the absence of clear establishment leadership, and how figures like AOC fit into that power shift. Brett and Pete also analyze how President Trump may selectively engage, choosing battles that resonate with “normie” voters. The segment closes with a sobering discussion of a recent ISIS-related terrorism case, highlighting warning signs, family intervention, and broader concerns about online radicalization. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show! For more from Brett Winterble check out his YouTube channel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keith's allergies caused such severe swelling that he now resembles Jeffy, while Pat plans to flee the incoming polar vortex — just like Ted Cruz did. A quick reminder: President Biden's recent visit to California wasn't to address the fires but to see family. Back at the White House, Biden struggled during a signing ceremony, forgetting what he was doing and raising questions about why he's signing anything when Trump will likely undo it. Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing has been a spectacle, with criticism flying from the Left, particularly women. The hearing featured bizarre moments, such as questions about Trump potentially taking Greenland by force, defining “jagoff,” and addressing allegations of sexual misconduct. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) also called out his colleagues for their hypocrisy during the proceedings. Meanwhile, speculation continues over whether there will be a Biden Presidential Library, which many predict will be mocked as an uninspiring destination. Congress is locked in debates about women's health and the definition of a woman, while the dominance of trans women in female sports continues to ignite controversy. Adding to the chaos, AOC delivered a speech on the House floor that many found incoherent. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Zohran Mamdani was sworn in yesterday and we've officially entered into Mamdani's New York City, then why does AOC say Zohran's name the way she does.  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

Mamdani gets sworn in on the Quran to become the first NYC Muslim mayor. AOC and Bernie speak, Nick Shirley is being threatened, and much more.

On today's episode, we discuss how mocking politicians like AOC as “stupid” can blind voters to the way savvy operators quietly grow rich and powerful off the very systems their critics keep funding. Charlotte's “therapy session” then spirals into a deep dive on Minnesota's massive welfare‑fraud scandal and the surrounding murder of a state lawmaker, where Glenn painstakingly separates sloppy reporting and partisan spin from what the evidence about the shooter, his targets, and his supposed “manifesto” actually shows. The crew argues that the political “BLOB” and its intelligence allies use sensational conspiracy breadcrumbs—like implying Governor Walz ordered a hit—to distract conservatives from tracing how federal money really flows into NGOs, refugee programs, and connected insiders' pockets. By the end, they urge listeners to resist click‑bait narratives, follow timelines and documents instead of memes, and recognize how both parties benefit when ordinary people are too distracted by manufactured drama to notice who is quietly looting the store. Don't miss it!

Investigative journalist Kit Klarenberg returns to Bad Faith to discuss what Israel's recognition of Somaliland and US strikes on Somalia have to do with the ongoing Gaza genocide and domestic attacks on Somalian Americans. Also, how does Israeli software offer backdoor access to your phone, and did AOC admit force the vote was a good idea? Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

Paul Jay and host Barry Stevens analyze rising progressive movements, from Mamdani's victory in New York City to Sanders and AOC drawing massive crowds in red states, and why working-class consciousness has always been the real threat to American elites. They discuss why fossil fuel companies have known about the climate crisis for decades but chose denial, why AI could plan a sustainable economy, but is being used for profit and war. They examine the specific dynamics of Christian nationalism, the role of Silicon Valley in the authoritarian turn, and why the 2026 midterms could see significant progressive breakthroughs.

From JD Vance's viral confrontations, to Gavin Newsom's rise, to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's dominance of the attention economy, to Ted Cruz–Tucker Carlson clashes inside MAGA, Mark explains why these clips mattered — and what they reveal about leadership, influence, and where American politics is heading in 2026.Mark is then joined by Dan Senor to discuss U.S. foreign policy and power inside the Trump administration. Senor explains why antisemitism thrives when leaders tolerate it, how political incentives shape silence on both the left and right, and why President Trump's record on Israel has made him one of the nation's strongest allies. He also breaks down how Secretary of State Marco Rubio has emerged as a singular figure in making U.S. foreign policy, wielding unusual influence through his close relationship with the president and his central role in managing global crises.Finally, Chris Collins joins Mark for a discussion about loyalty, justice, and what life looks like on the other side of a presidential pardon. Collins reflects on his status as the very first member of Congress to endorse Donald Trump in 2016, his experience with federal prosecution, and the moment Trump pardoned him just days before Christmas. He also offers rare insight into Trump's private leadership style — describing a president who listens carefully, values loyalty deeply, and often behaves far differently in private rooms than he does on camera.  Masa Chips: Ready to give MASA or Vandy a try?
