On this episode we start off with discussing the CDC director being removed from her position less than a month after being appointed by Trump. We then shift over to Greenland where the Danish government believes the US is making efforts to influence the population to a more "pro-annexation" agenda. Trump is also highly upset that all his talks with Putin and Zelenksy are still yeilding NO results in regards to a peace deal between the two nations, meanwhile the UK is discussing the possibility of troops being sent to Ukraine for support...but to what extent? Also Trump has passed a new executive order that makes the desecration of the American flag illegal, or so he says. America has warships and Marines en route to the Venesualan coast, and Maduro is acting as if this is an envasion force rather than an anti-cartel force. California is attempting to redistrict itself in response to Texas law makers doing the same thing, but minority leaders in California would rather divide the state into two seperatestates all together! Last but certainly ot least, Cracker Barrel has changed their logo back to the traditional iconic look we have all come to know and love!To join in the conversation next week come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the question media pundits keep asking: what is happening to the democrat party? What happened is that the people have learned a great deal about the Democrat Party and its ideologies over the years and they don't like it. Ideas do have consequences. Educating and reading remain crucial. Unfortunately, too many people with microphones and TV cameras have forgotten about this. Scholarship, history, philosophy still matter. They have always mattered. It's called getting back to basics. Getting back to our founding principles, beliefs, and values, and exposing those who seek to pervert, undermine, and destroy them. The Democrat Party is struggling and failing because it stands for virtually everything most Americans reject. Also, the American people elected President Trump in a massive landslide, saving the country from four more years of destructive policies like open borders, anti-military degradation, and campus marches chanting "from the river to the sea." We should not be complacent in the midterms. Also, the U.S. has offered to provide intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), command and control, and air defense assets to support a European-led security plan for postwar Ukraine, including participation in an air shield and no-fly zone enforcement. This includes US aircraft, logistics, and radar to enable European troop deployments, while monitoring ceasefires via superior satellite capabilities. This is necessary. Later, Democrats support violent criminals, while Trump is quickly controlling crime in Washington, D.C., by enforcing the law with police backed by the National Guard. Finally, by 2040 Islam could surpass Judaism as the nation's second-largest religion. America's Christian foundations—rooted in individual liberty, personal responsibility, and devotion to God—are eroding due to silence and fear. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the summer of 1807, Richmond, Virginia hosted the most sensational trial in the young nation's history. At stake was the life of Aaron Burr, who stood accused of plotting an armed insurrection against the United States. The battle over Burr's guilt or innocence pitted President Thomas Jefferson, who wanted to see his former vice president convicted of treason, against Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, who was committed to the idea that any American citizen, even an alleged traitor, deserved a fair trial.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

On September 2, 2005, on a telethon to raise money for victims of Hurrican Katrina, Kanye West went off script and said, "George Bush doesn't care about Black people." 20 years later, would those words have the same impact today?In this episode, Brittany, NPR music correspondent Rodney Carmichael, and Code Switch's Leah Donella revisit that moment and dissect why those words rippled through the nation.

A year ago, China was globally isolated and its economy was struggling. But once Trump was back in office pursuing his own personal and political gain, the U.S. brand got tossed in the toilet and the view from Beijing got pretty sweet. Trump has allowed China to buy American microchips that could be used against our own national security interests, he caved on his own trade war with the country, and the divisions he's creating with allies in the West have made China's propaganda job a whole lot easier. Plus, the tragedy in Gaza, the evolving U.S.-Israel relationship, the one powerful way to squeeze Putin's war machine, and re-examining Biden's original plan to run for re-election. Former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan joins Tim Miller. show notes Sullivan's piece on Gaza for the Israeli news site, Ynet Article about Sullivan's comments at The Atlantic Festival in Sept. 2023 Bulwark Live in DC and NYC at https://www.thebulwark.com/p/bulwark-events.

President Trump on Monday evening fired Biden-appointed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook amid mortgage fraud allegations. “Pursuant to my authority under Article II of the Constitution of the United States and the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, as amended, you are hereby removed from your position on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, effective immediately,” President Trump wrote in a letter to Lisa Cook. “I have determined that there is sufficient cause to remove you from your position,” Trump added as he cited housing regulator Bill Pulte's criminal referral on Lisa Cook for mortgage fraud – specifically occupancy fraud.   Source: thegatewaypundit.com What Fed must do now after Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole epiphany Last Friday in Jackson Hole, Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell finally – and grudgingly – admitted what the Trump team has been saying all along: tariffs don't fuel inflation. At most, tariffs create a one-time adjustment in prices, not the kind of runaway spiral that demands punishing rate hikes. And even that one-time bump may be negligible if, as we have long argued, foreign exporters – not American consumers – shoulder most or all of the burden. The implication is clear: whether the impact is zero or merely a one-time step-up in prices, there is absolutely no justification for the Fed to hide behind "tariff uncertainty" as an excuse for overly restrictive interest-rate policy.   Soure: foxnews.com Political/Rights  https://twitter.com/robbystarbuck/status/1960481691606376666 https://twitter.com/AsraNomani/status/1960407636446175597 https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1960714129783546232  FAILED promises. https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1960729811099308460 Obama Judge Says MS-13 Gang Member Kilmar Abrego Garcia Cannot be Deported Until At Least October

The FBI recently raided John Bolton's home over alleged mishandling of classified information, which is a bit ironic since Bolton is an unrepentant war-hawk who once criticized Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents himself. According to reports, CIA Director John Ratcliffe provided the intelligence foundation that led FBI Director Kash Patel to secure the search warrant, intensifying accusations of political weaponization.  Jimmy and co-host Stef Zamorano highlight suspicions of hypocrisy, precedent-setting prosecutions, and the rotational retribution in D.C., arguing that such raids typically reflect a system that punishes dissenters across the political spectrum. Nevertheless, Jimmy admits enjoying the Bolton's legal come-uppance but remains critical of Trump's own militaristic path and the broader erosion of justice in the U.S. under his administration. Plus segments on Israel's recent depraved and criminal “double-tap” attack on Nasser Hospital in Gaza, Trump's abandonment of free speech in signing an executive order making burning the American flag a crime and a restaurant in Washington state fined $1 million for allowing indoor dining during the pandemic. Also featuring Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani!

Jessica is joined by lawyer, journalist, and Substacker Aaron Parnas to talk through some alarmingly authoritarian news stories.

“It's holding onto the fact that truly anything can happen. That's why I'm a fan of the sport. I love watching upsets happen. I love watching dragons get slayed and things like that. It's exciting! I think no matter what, I'm just going in to try to run a 1500 that I'm proud of and let the outcome be the outcome. That's not the focus; the focus is just doing the thing I love.”Three straight U.S. outdoor titles, a Diamond League victory, and a season that has firmly established Nikki Hiltz as America's standard-bearer in the 1500m.Earlier this month at Hayward Field, they did exactly what we've come to expect: poised in the pack, patient when the laps slowed, and then — with 100 meters to go — devastating to the competition. A 58-second last lap sealed a third consecutive national title and another ticket to the global stage.If we go beyond the results on the track, this year brought about quite a bit of change. Nikki underwent contract talks to start the year and stuck with Lululemon. They switched up their coaching setup and started working with Juli Benson. All of this while privately recovering from top surgery, which they revealed just recently. Many of these things would seed doubt in an athlete, but Nikki has not skipped a beat.Most recently, the Brussels Diamond League proved that — another perfectly timed kick down the final straight to reel in Australia's Linden Hall and score their first-ever Diamond League win in 3:55.94, making history as the first American in seven years to win a 1500m on that stage.Now, Hiltz heads to Tokyo as more than a national champion. I firmly believe they're a medal contender. Consistent, battle-tested, and dangerous when the race is decided late.We talk about the evolution behind this season, the mental battles of change and competition, and how Hiltz has grown into thinking about themselves as not just one of America's best, but one of the world's.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Nikki Hiltz | @nikkihiltz on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Listen: Nikki Hiltz's 2025 USA Track & Field Outdoor National Championships 1500m Recap - Ali on the Run Show____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they note Americans overwhelmingly see a crime problem in the U.S. and a majority likes how Trump is dealing with it. They also wince as Trump welcomes 600,000 Chinese college students into the U.S., and roll their eyes at the left's absurd "land acknowledgements."First, they're glad to see that 81 percent of Americans have the common sense to see that crime is a major problem. That includes 68 percent of Democrats. In addition, 53 percent of Americans approve of how President Trump is dealing with crime. This makes the Democrats' assertions that there really isn't a crime problem in our major cities look utterly ridiculous.Next, they cringe as President Trump says he is perfectly fine allowing 600,000 Chinese students study at American colleges and universities this year. Jim and Greg fume about the American students who suffer a result, and they point out what the Chinese government expects from their students when returning from the U.S.Finally, they shake their heads as the DNC national meeting kicked off with a "land acknowledgement," where someone explains which tribal nation had the land before European settlers allegedly took it from them. It's shameless virtue signaling, but is it backfiring for Democrats and could this practice ever have much more serious implications?Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visithttps://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order.Feel the difference of an extraordinary night's sleep with Boll & Branch—get 15% off plus free shipping on your first set of sheets at https://www.BollandBranch.com/THREEMARTINI (exclusions apply).

In today's Rich Girl Roundup, we're discussing a wide range of alternately nerdy and controversial (sometimes both) topics:

Have you ever wondered why, despite following conventional financial advice, true wealth seems elusive? Doug Peacock, founder of Peacock Wealth Group and former football coach, reveals a financial strategy that banks have been using for centuries but rarely share with the public.After watching his retirement savings crumble in 2008, Peacock discovered what he calls the "broken American financial system" – a game designed for us to lose while institutions profit. His solution? Creating a personal "storehouse" through specially structured whole life insurance policies that provide guaranteed growth, tax-free accumulation, unlimited access without penalties, and protection from creditors and the IRS.The most fascinating aspect of Peacock's approach is how it mirrors banking strategies. He explains that Bank of America holds $22 billion in cash value life insurance as a Tier 1 asset. By implementing similar principles, individuals can create their own "family banking system" to finance purchases from cars to education to business equipment, then pay themselves back on their own terms instead of enriching financial institutions.Unlike traditional retirement accounts that lock your money away until 59½, this strategy provides lifetime access without government restrictions. "90% of America saves money in a place that we can't get to till 59 and a half," Peacock notes, which makes little sense when life's major expenses happen decades earlier. He's helped clients across the economic spectrum implement this approach, from single mothers to high-net-worth individuals, typically recommending around $500 monthly as a starting point.Peacock's passion stems from helping his former football players escape student loan debt. Their success led to helping their parents, which evolved into a mission to educate everyday Americans about financial strategies previously reserved for the wealthy.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano sits down with Professor Jeffrey Lax to examine the collapse of America's assimilation process, the rise of anti-Americanism, and the cultural battles playing out on our college campuses. From the decline of the melting pot ideal to the silencing effect of self-censorship, the conversation highlights how immigration, political correctness, and campus protests are reshaping American identity and threatening the nation's core values of freedom and free speech. Episode Highlights Why the melting pot concept has eroded and assimilation is no longer encouraged. How anti-American sentiment and campus culture undermine national unity. The growing fear of self-censorship among students and faculty in higher education.

But I don't want to focus on the Democrats right now. I want to focus on the Republican Party because one of the big things that's going to shape the midterms — which, make no mistake, are going to be nationalized — is how the American public feels about the GOP. That includes the party's overall image, the fact that they currently hold the House, Senate, and the White House, and the role of Donald Trump as president. Historically, that's usually the kiss of death in a midterm. The public looks at single-party control and, whether consciously or not, pulls back a bit. It's a check on power, and more often than not, it happens.I still believe, sitting here in late August of 2025, that Democrats are in a good position to take the House back in 2026. The redistricting mess adds some chaos, but even assuming that plays out neutrally or slightly in their favor, the historical precedent is clear — they should be competitive. That said, if we were heading toward something other than a typical midterm correction, you'd start to see signs. Not signs that Democrats are collapsing — that's already evident in other areas — but signs that voters are unusually comfortable with Republican governance.And you know what? Those signs are there.If I had to judge the early terrain by three hard metrics, I'd go with national fundraising, party registration, and the president's approval rating. Let's start with the money. The Republican National Committee currently has $65 million in cash on hand. That's not an overwhelming total, but it's strong — especially with a year to go. More importantly, it's four times what the Democratic National Committee has. The DNC is sitting on just $15 million. That gap alone is bad enough, but it gets worse when you factor in spending decisions like Proposition 50 in California. That fight — to temporarily override the independent redistricting commission — is going to vacuum up cash from the same organizations and donors who would otherwise be investing in House flips. So the Democrats are undercapitalized, and they're committing resources to side projects.Then there's registration data. According to a recent New York Times report, Democrats have lost 2.4 million registered voters in swing states that track party affiliation. In the same set of states, Republicans have gained nearly that same amount. That's a five million voter swing. It's not just that Democrats are losing — Republicans are growing. That kind of shift doesn't usually happen in the middle of a polarizing presidency. People don't suddenly start checking the box for the incumbent party unless something is resonating. And considering the kind of term Donald Trump is having — rapid policy implementation, constant headline churn, immigration crackdowns, inflation waves, even distractions like the Epstein debacle — you'd expect backlash. Instead, you get a net positive in party affiliation.That brings us to approval ratings. Trump's RealClearPolitics average stands at 46.3 percent. He's still underwater, with 50.8 percent disapproving. But let's add context. That number is higher than Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or even Ronald Reagan had at this same point in their second terms. That's unusual. And while being underwater is never ideal, that 4.5-point spread is about what you'd expect for Trump when you factor in how he's consistently undercounted in national polling. And the range of poll results is all over the map — Rasmussen has him up one, Harvard Harris has him down two, YouGov has him down 12, and Gallup just released a poll with him down 16. But even Gallup's number is an improvement from previous weeks, which suggests that Trump's “tough on crime” stance — especially in DC — is landing.So when I step back and look at the full picture, what I see is a Republican Party that isn't being punished. That might sound basic, but it's a big deal. Historically, you'd expect that by now — with the administration moving aggressively, Democrats hammering every misstep, and inflation rising — the electorate would be turning. But instead, Republicans have a funding advantage, a registration advantage, and a president who's polling better than most of his second-term predecessors.That doesn't mean they're going to hold the House. The historical pattern still favors Democrats picking up seats. But it does mean that the GOP is better positioned than it has any right to be under these circumstances. And if your theory of the midterms is based on Trump's agenda — the one big, beautiful bill, cutting Medicaid, handing out tax breaks, and all the rest — then you have to reckon with the fact that, at least for now, it isn't hurting them. Maybe that changes. But if this were going to backfire, I would have liked to have seen a little something from it by now.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:20 - Early Midterms Thoughts00:16:21 - Update00:16:42 - Abigail Spanberger00:23:47 - Trump's Chinese Students Plan00:27:55 - Lisa Cook00:33:54 - Interview with Amanda Nelson01:26:10 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses the recent tragedy in Minneapolis, where a shooter opened fire in a Catholic school, resulting in the deaths of two children and injuries to many others. The conversation delves into the root causes of such violence, emphasizing the role of mental health and societal issues rather than gun ownership. The discussion also touches on the political responses to gun violence, particularly the calls for stricter gun control laws, and the impact of social media in fostering a culture of violence. Throughout the episode, Walters and his guest, Paul Markle, explore the complexities of these issues, advocating for a focus on personal responsibility and preparedness in the face of evil. Takeaways The tragedy in Minneapolis highlights the need for a national conversation about gun violence. Evil and mental instability are often the root causes of such tragedies, not law-abiding gun owners. Gun control advocates often exploit tragedies to push their agenda, ignoring the real issues at hand. Mental health issues must be addressed to prevent future violence. The recent trend of trans shooters raises complex questions about mental health and societal perceptions. Social media plays a significant role in spreading hate and violence. Terrorism is defined as using violence to achieve political goals, and this applies to many current events. Cultural issues, including the normalization of violence in media, contribute to real-world consequences. Personal responsibility and preparedness are essential in confronting evil. The Second Amendment is a crucial part of American freedom and should not be compromised.
