What is going on in Nevada? To start the show, we discuss the arrest of Israeli government official Tom Alexandrovich, who was caught up in a recent Las Vegas undercover child sex sting. However, he was inexplicably allowed to leave the country and go back to Israel. How could the Trump administration allow this to happen? After, we are joined by “Walk Away” founder Brandon Straka, who talks about his plans to throw rallies in New York City against Democrat mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Finally, we chitchat with local comedian D'onta Hobson, whose nickname is “THE FREAKAZOID” for some reason.

European leaders visited the White House on Monday, where President Trump had an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Coming just days after Trump's Alaskan summit with Vladimir Putin, many questions still remain: what will it take to negotiate an end to the war? And what do “security guarantees” look like for Ukraine, for Europe, and even for Russia? Former NSC advisor to President George W. Bush and Beacon Global Strategies managing director Michael Allen about the territory demands from Russia, European leaders pushing for Ukraine's security guarantees, and the historic peace talks being shepherded by the Trump administration. One week into President Trump's crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., and Democrats continue to push back, arguing that crime data suggests the President's actions in the nation's capital are unnecessary and that violence is not "out of control." Mayor Muriel Bowser has called the administration's actions "unsettling and unprecedented." Rafael Mangual, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and member of the Council on Criminal Justice, joins to discuss President Trump's actions, what is next for the city, and why he says crime statistics don't always reflect reality. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless" on Outkick, Tomi Lahren. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Graham Plattner is running for Senate in Maine. He's not a career politician. He's not a household name. He's a newcomer, and he's coming in with the kind of video that's designed to break through the noise. It's everything you'd expect from someone trying to signal that they're different — kettlebell lifting, scuba diving, oyster farming, military gear. This is Fetterman-core, and I mean that in the pre-stroke, media-savvy, meme-friendly way. It's intentionally loud, intentionally masculine, and intentionally designed to get people talking.But this isn't just a vibe campaign. Plattner's already built a real team. He's working with the same media shop that did ads for Zohran Mamdani in New York and helped elect Fetterman in Pennsylvania. These aren't DCCC types. They're insurgent operatives with a history of getting attention — and winning. That tells me Plattner's not just here to make a point. He's running to win. And in a state like Maine, where ideological boundaries don't map neatly onto party lines, he might actually have a shot.Democratic leadership, though, has other plans. Chuck Schumer and his operation would clearly prefer Janet Mills. She's the sitting governor, she's 77 years old, and she'd walk into the race with a national fundraising network already behind her. But that's exactly the kind of candidate a guy like Plattner is built to run against. If she enters, it turns this race into a referendum on the Democratic establishment. And it gives Susan Collins exactly what she wants: two Democrats locked in a bitter primary while she gears up for a calm general election campaign.Maine is weird politically. I don't mean that as an insult — I mean it's unpredictable in a way that defies national modeling. This is a state that elects independents, splits tickets, and shrugs at coastal assumptions. A candidate like Plattner, who's running a progressive but culturally savvy campaign, could actually catch fire. He's already signaling that he's not going to run from the Second Amendment — which would make him a unicorn among progressives — and he seems to get that guns, culture, and economic populism all intersect here in a way that's not neat or clean.It's early, and most people outside the state probably haven't even heard of him. But he's getting coverage. And he's trying to frame himself as the guy who will show up everywhere — from left-wing podcasts to centrist fundraisers to gun ranges in rural districts. If he pulls it off, it won't just be a Maine story. It'll be a signal that Democrats are still capable of producing candidates who can speak across class and cultural lines without watering down the message. We'll see if he holds up under pressure.Trump, Zelensky, and the Shape of a Ukraine DealTrump's pushing a peace summit with Russia and Ukraine, and the location that's gained traction is Budapest. That's not a random choice. Budapest is where Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for guarantees that turned out to be meaningless. Putin invaded anyway. So now, years later, trying to broker a peace deal in that same city feels almost poetic — or cynical, depending on how you look at it. Macron wants Geneva. Putin wants Moscow. Orbán, who runs Hungary, is offering Budapest as neutral turf. That offer seems to be sticking.The terms of the talks are shifting. Zelensky isn't being required to agree to a ceasefire before negotiations begin — which is a major departure from the Biden administration's stance. Trump's team seems to believe that real movement can happen only if you start talking now, without preconditions. That's risky. But it's also more flexible. The Russians are now suggesting they might accept something like NATO-style security guarantees for Ukraine — just without the name “NATO.” That's a big shift. If they're serious, it opens up a lane for something that looks like independence and protection without triggering all-out war.Zelensky, for his part, is in a bind. His approval rating has dropped. His party just lost ground. The economy is on life support. And the longer the war goes on, the harder it is to keep Ukrainians fully on board with total resistance. That's not a moral failing — it's exhaustion. What Ukraine wants now, more than anything, is certainty. If they're going to give up territory — and no one's saying that out loud, but everyone's thinking it — then they want to know they'll never have to fight this war again. That's where the Article 5-style guarantees come in.Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, is reportedly testing those waters. And Marco Rubio said the quiet part out loud — that if Ukraine can get real security commitments in exchange for ending the war, it's worth exploring. This isn't the “bleed Russia dry” strategy the Biden administration backed. That was about regime change through attrition. This is something else. It's about containment, closure, and trying to make sure the region doesn't explode again five years down the line.No one's pretending this is clean. Crimea isn't coming back. Parts of the Donbas are going to remain contested forever. But if a deal gets Ukraine real protection, even without NATO branding, and gets Russia out of the areas it's willing to surrender, that's movement. And right now, movement is the only thing that separates this from another decade of trench warfare and broken promises. Whether it holds is anyone's guess. But it's on the table now — and for the first time in a long time, that actually matters.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:42 - Maine Midterms00:18:08 - Update00:19:04 - Trilateral Meetin00:30:04 - DC Fed Takeover00:33:24 - Epstein Files00:36:00 - Interview with Alex Epstein01:34:40 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

   A week ago, I shared with you that I had information about the Royals and Chiefs plans for new ballparks but couldn't confirm it with the proper source.  So I shared the information with our Patrons at KKHI who were blown away.  Now, the President of the Kansas Senate has stated it publicly.  Officials in Topeka and Jeff City believe both teams are heading to Kansas.    The Royals are rolling... we'll talk about the path to the playoffs as they seem to have a bounce in their step.    KSU and ISU meet Saturday in Dublin for Farm 'O' Geddon and for K-State, it's all business.  There will be no sight seeing... just a practice or two, a game and a flight home.    Missouri AG Andrew Bailey has resigned to work as Co-Deputy Director of the FBI, the same title as Dan Bongino.  So what's going on here?    DC police have put out some crime stats that will surprise nobody as Trump seems to have cleaned the place up in a week.    Meanwhile, the president has incredible poll numbers.  Especially compared to Democrats.    And our favorite adoption people, www.pawsitivetailskc.org celebrate a milestone and we'd be thrilled if you adopted a pet or made a donation to help them.

Experts warn that we still have a ways to go before we’re out of the woods of wildfire season. // Democrats and the media are rooting for President Trump to fail in his negotiations with Putin and Zelenskyy. // While his challenger is much crazier, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell doesn’t deserve to win re-election.

Senator Eric Schmitt, Republican of Missouri and author of the brand new book The Last Line of Defense: How to Beat the Left in Court (out today), joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss why it is both good and necessary for the right to challenge the left's overreach in court. He explained why their continued grasp for control must be reined in and why true leadership requires people to stand up and fight. Schmitt also said indictments are the next step in the Russiagate collusion scandal. Finally, Sen. Schmitt stressed that Republicans must have the "courage" to redistrict Democrats who, in his words, "set the rules" with their gerrymandering efforts. Listen to the full interview below!

 Alex Stone reports Texas House Democrats are finally heading back to Austin after a two-week standoff over redistricting.

In Sonoma County, leaders in the wine industry are floating the idea of a Wine Improvement District. Under the proposed plan, consumers would pay 1 to 2 percent more for tasting room visits, wine club memberships within California, and every bottle purchased at a local winery. Supporters say the plan would provide much-needed collective marketing dollars to boost the industry, but many Sonoma County winery owners are not thrilled with the idea. Reporter: Tina Caputo In Sacramento, Democrats are moving quickly on a sweeping redistricting plan. And Republicans are pushing back. California Democrats formally introduced legislation on Monday to establish a new congressional map and bypass the state's independent redistricting rules.

Why does Trump insist on helping sex predators? First Jeffrey Epstein, then the Tates, then Diddy and now Tom Artiom Alexandrovich? The administration denies intervening to hustle the diplomat back to Israel after his arrest for soliciting a known minor for sex in Las Vegas over the weekend, but unnamed sources insist the Trump administration was involved and it is now unclear whether the filthy perp will ever face justice. Regardless, this behavior certainly fits Trump’s profile. After gaslighting and mocking his own base regarding the NON-release of the Epstein Files, it appears that a Democrat led effort to unveil the documents has succeeded as reported by Politico: “Officials with the Department of Justice have informed us that the Department will begin to provide Epstein-related records to the Oversight Committee this week on Friday” … The fight for justice continues despite the obvious attempts to thwart the efforts by this president and his administration.

Josh's new special report BANNED DYES is premiering this Friday. Watch here: https://ept.ms/BannedDyePresident Donald Trump is, yet again, trying to negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine, and this time, the goal is to bypass a cease-fire and go straight for a deal to end the war. Alongside Trump's meetings with the leaders of both countries were a number of questions about what could be on the table to bring peace.In other news, there's a brewing battle over redistricting. Texas is taking steps to redraw its congressional district map after the Supreme Court gave the green light, despite criticism that doing so could be considered discriminatory. This could see voters give Republicans an additional five seats. If people vote as expected, Republicans may go on to hold 30 House seats, with eight Democrats, in the Texas midterm election.We'll discuss these topics, and others, in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Democrats lost everything in the 2024 election. The popular vote, electoral vote, House, Senate, White House and the Supreme Court. Their strategy to resist MAGA and President Trump's agenda is backfiring at every turn as Trump has them in a trap to support wildly unpopular positions that the American people are wholly against. We break down Trump's visit with Putin and what TRUMP says happened. Make sure to stay tuned for Hour 2 to hear the Deep State's deranged response. 

Texas lawmakers are back in session after Democrats returned to the state after leaving to block partisan redistricting. Democrats came back because California is planning its own partisan map to counteract GOP gains in Texas. To discuss how the map battle could decide the next Congress, Lisa Desjardins spoke with Dr. Sam Wang of the Electoral Innovation Lab.

Gavin Newsom may be presiding over a failing California — a state crippled by homelessness, crime, high taxes, and mass exodus — but make no mistake, he’s no bumbling fool. Newsom is slick, articulate, and relentlessly ambitious. He fights, he spins, and he sells a utopian progressive vision that crumbles in reality but dazzles on camera. The most dangerous part? He’s tailor-made for the white liberal woman voter — the key demographic Democrats count on to swing elections. Newsom’s blend of Hollywood looks, polished rhetoric, and ruthless political instincts make him a formidable threat in 2028 or sooner. This isn’t just a failed governor — it’s a wolf in a perfectly tailored suit, ready to charm the country into the same ruin he’s brought to California.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Texas Democrats who left the state to stymie Republicans over redistricting have returned to Austin,” Politico reports, “ending a two-week standoff over President Donald Trump's plan to carve out five new GOP congressional seats.” The end of the Texas lawmaker walkout means that the Texas legislature will now be able to proceed with passing a vote on Republicans' gerrymandered Congressional map—so what did the walkout achieve? In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with legendary populist and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Jim Hightower about the significance of the political showdown in Texas, and the longer-term fight ahead for Democrats and for working people of all stripes in the face of MAGA authoritarianism and corporate tyranny.Guest:Jim Hightower is a national radio commentator, writer, public speaker, and author of the book, Swim Against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go With the Flow.

While the 2026 Midterm Elections swiftly approach, some Democrats and Republicans are already looking ahead to the 2028 Presidential Election. Founder of Podium Strategies and former Chief of Staff and advisor to the Biden White House Press Office, Yemisi Egbewole, breaks down some of the challenges facing the current Democratic Party.  Following President Trump's press conference last week about crime in Washington, D.C., Yemisi shares her thoughts on the issue and her growing concerns about youth crime in major cities. She also describes the best candidates to look at for the 2028 Election, and why Governors may be the best bet for the Democratic Party as they look to move beyond both the Biden administration era.  I Wish Someone Had Told Me: As youth voters grow more concerned with the state of the U.S. economy, Yemisi explains why Democrats need to change their messaging tactics when appealing to younger generations.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode explores a range of topics from geopolitics to domestic crime. The hosts discuss what they believe is a deliberate effort by Democrats and the media to prolong the war in Ukraine for financial gain, calling it a "massive money laundering operation." They contrast this with President Trump's peace efforts, which they praise as a strategic move to break the Russia-China alliance. The hosts also criticize former Vice President Mike Pence for mocking Trump over his approach to Russia while allegedly ignoring threats from China, which they say has admitted to cyberattacks against the U.S. The program also delves into a legal case involving former FBI Director James Comey, whom the hosts accuse of felonies including leaking classified data and killing investigations. They claim his recent public statements are part of a desperate PR strategy to avoid prison. The episode concludes with commentary on recent crime stories, including the Idaho murder case, where a new court document reveals details about the killer's alleged actions, and a South Carolina case where nine teenagers were arrested for their involvement in the murder of a 16-year-old. The hosts express bewilderment and outrage at the behavior of the people involved in both cases.

This episode covers a range of interconnected political topics. The first segment focuses on the doxing of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, whose address was allegedly published by media outlets, leading to death threats and forcing her to move into military housing. The hosts argue that this is a deliberate tactic by Democrats and the "deep state" to intimidate officials and discourage people from serving in the Trump administration. The conversation then shifts to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. The hosts assert that Donald Trump is attempting to achieve peace by bypassing a ceasefire and going directly to a peace deal, a plan they claim is being undermined by "Euro weenies" and NATO who are said to be provoking Russia with attacks to keep the conflict profitable. The discussion highlights the strategic challenges of achieving peace when both sides are allegedly being influenced by external forces. Finally, the hosts return to domestic politics, describing America as being in a "civil war" over issues like immigration and redistricting. They use two examples to illustrate their point: the DUI arrest of Clemson athlete Ian Shefflin, which they see as a positive example of the law being applied equally, and a fatal Florida truck accident involving an illegal immigrant with a commercial driver's license from California. They conclude by citing California Governor Gavin Newsom's investigation of an ICE raid near his speech as evidence that Democrats believe they are above federal law.

This episode examines two recent events that the hosts claim highlight a "civil war" in America over law and immigration. The first is a fatal Florida car crash caused by an illegal immigrant with a commercial driver's license (CDL) issued in California under "sanctuary policies." The hosts argue that these policies, championed by figures like Gavin Newsom, allow dangerous individuals to live and operate freely, with deadly consequences that extend beyond the state's borders. The second event is Gavin Newsom's investigation into an ICE raid that occurred near a press conference he was holding. The hosts view this as a shocking display of a belief among Democrats that they are above federal law and that law enforcement should not operate in their presence. They conclude that both incidents demonstrate the dangerous reality of "blue territories" where lawlessness is permitted, which they believe threatens the safety and legal integrity of the entire nation.

In this episode, the hosts discuss the controversy surrounding Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who is reportedly living rent-free in military housing. They argue that this move was a necessary security measure after her Washington D.C. apartment was doxxed by the media and she began receiving death threats from terrorist groups, cartels, and what they refer to as "deranged lunatic leftist." The hosts criticize The Washington Post for publishing her location on a military base, calling it a "sick" and dangerous act that reveals a "lack of basic humanity." They assert that Democrats and their allies in the media are trying to undermine the Trump administration and intimidate potential recruits for government jobs like ICE. The hosts connect this incident to a broader pattern of political targeting and violence, referencing past attacks against ICE agents and suggesting that the left is willing to go to extreme lengths to stop the administration's agenda. They conclude that the situation is a sign of a "civil war" and a new low in American politics.

So far, President Donald Trump's steep cuts to the U.S. Forest Service haven't fueled the wildfire disaster Democrats and state officials feared. But experts warn the risks remain, with future cuts threatening prevention and response efforts. POLITICO's Jordan Wolman breaks down why Trump's cuts haven't fueled wildfire catastrophe and how America isn't out of the woods yet. Plus, the Trump administration announced a policy on Friday that will make it even harder for wind and solar projects to take advantage of federal tax credits.

Aug. 18, 2025 - Rensselaer County District Attorney Mary Pat Donnelly, a Democrat, discusses changes to New York's evidence disclosure laws that took effect this summer at the urging of local prosecutors and Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Marc brings on Hans von Spakovsky from Heritage to cut through the media spin on Texas redistricting. While Democrats cry foul, Hans points out that Republicans are redrawing four districts only because a federal court ruled the original Democrat-pushed maps were unconstitutional racial gerrymanders. Marc and Hans torch the hypocrisy, citing states like Massachusetts and Connecticut where Republicans make up 35–40% of voters yet hold zero congressional seats thanks to Democrat gerrymandering. They also pivot to Trump's federal takeover of D.C., clarifying that while his unique authority there doesn't extend to other cities, he can still deploy ICE, FBI, and even the National Guard to crack down on lawlessness elsewhere. The two highlight how staged “anti-ICE” protests—like those inside Home Depot—expose the left's alliance with illegal hiring practices and professional protest machines.

Hour 2 kicks off with Marc noting the staggered return to school across St. Louis area districts, tying it into concerns over property taxes and potential caps, with Missouri Tax Relief Now set to provide guidance later in the show. The discussion pivots to national politics as Hans von Spakovsky joins to expose the hypocrisy of Democrats decrying gerrymandering while benefiting from it in multiple states, and to clarify the limits of federal intervention in cities like Washington D.C. versus other major cities. Marc then lightens the mood with his nasal spray addiction story before Nicole Murray delivers a concise business and market update, including stock movements, Air Canada labor issues, and tech fines. The hour wraps with “In Other News,” covering eye-popping sorority costs, a viral Falcons quarterback name typo, China's Humanoid Robot Games, Big Ten playoff proposals, and a study showing fewer young adults pursuing traditional milestones like marriage and homeownership.

Marc and Kim navigate a rollercoaster of topics from personal to political. Hour 1 blends lighter conversation on Kim's upcoming maternity leave with heavy discussion on COVID's lingering impact, government overreach, and medical freedom, highlighted by Jenny McCarthy's bombshell claim about a PR smear campaign tied to her vaccine commentary. Hour 2 pivots to local and national politics, including school reopenings, property taxes, Democrats' gerrymandering hypocrisy, and a mix of market and viral news updates. Hour 3 ramps up the stakes with Trump's diplomatic efforts with Zelensky and European leaders, Missouri property tax inequities, and local controversies like the Saint Charles boil advisory and a proposed data center. Hour 4 dives into back-to-school chatter, Cardinals fan frustrations, Zelensky's refusal to cede Ukrainian land, law enforcement issues in D.C., a tragic Florida truck crash caused by an illegal immigrant driver, and crime and public safety updates, including St. Louis festivals and prayers for a Texas family impacted by a drunk driving accident. Throughout, Marc and Kim thread a conservative lens, focusing on accountability, public safety, and the limits of government intervention.
