On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, House Democrats have filed articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. These are baseless lies against him and it's all political theater designed to create controversy and stir up the Democratic base for the November midterms. It doesn't help when we have figures like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and others who are damaging the Republican Party and conservative movement by trashing it, wanting it and Trump to fail, which could help hand Democrats the House or Senate. Later, Rep Elise Stefanik calls in to discuss her new book - Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America's Elite Universities.  Also, the current sacrifices for the Iran war are minimal compared to past battles. This is a fight to prevent primitive terrorists from launching nuclear missiles at the country and to protect Western young people from slaughter, shooting, rape, and brutality. Despite this, gasoline prices are now lower than under Biden, while inflation has dropped significantly. Presidents can only do so much and often cause more damage than good, yet President Trump has taken many actions to help average Americans. Finally, Julie Kelly calls in and explains that Judge James Boasberg suffered another setback as the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a second writ of mandamus, definitively ending his 13-month contempt investigation against the Trump administration. Learn more about your ad choices.

Newt talks with former Congressman and physician Dr. Greg Ganske about the growing public health risks posed by online sports betting and emerging prediction markets, framed by a broader discussion of sports’ role in personal development and community life. Dr. Ganske argues that sports uniquely teach discipline, teamwork, goal setting, and community cohesion. He warns that the rapid expansion of online betting, driven by ubiquitous smartphone access and aggressive advertising campaigns featuring major sports leagues and star athletes, threatens this integrity by increasing incentives for cheating, point shaving, and manipulation at both professional and collegiate levels. Dr. Ganske highlights gambling disorder as a medically recognized condition associated with loss of control, financial ruin, deception, and bankruptcy, affecting an estimated 2-4 million Americans, with another roughly 10 million people at high risk. Their conversation also examines prediction markets on platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket, which position themselves as regulated futures markets under the CFTC but, in Ganske’s view, exploit regulatory gaps while enabling betting on elections, assassination risks, and other sensitive events, compounding incentives for abuse. Dr. Ganske outlines potential federal responses, favoring regulation over outright bans due to constitutional and First Amendment concerns.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Donald Trump's latest late-night spiral as a barrage of erratic posts, attacks on Pope Leo XIV, NATO, and political enemies raises new questions about his stability. They analyze the escalating rhetoric, the role of figures like J. D. Vance as he distances himself from the Pope while promoting the administration's agenda, and what it signals about the state of Trump's inner circle. Kander and Gupta also dive into rising global tensions with Iran, stalled negotiations, economic anxiety at home, and alarming new data on inflation and consumer sentiment. Plus, they are joined by Ken Harbaugh to explore what recent international political shakeups can teach the U.S. about countering authoritarian movements and the growing backlash to AI data centers across the country.

Dean Karayanis, columnist for the New York Sun, welcomes back his half-Greek writing partner from the Rush Limbaugh Show and former producer of The Drudge Report, George “Koko” Prayias for a fun look at the world's serious issues. The episode debuts “One-and-a-Half Greeks” new theme song. It's a little bit country, but the show is all Rock and Roll. The discussion covers the left's embrace of Tax Day and hiking taxes on “the rich,” in the person of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Democrats used to stay quiet on this day because America was built on a tax rebellion, but they've changed the electorate and now it's a holiday — even though Americans will work for the government this year from January 1 to April 26, projected as Tax-Freedom Day. The war in Iran illustrates another break with the past, as Senators Schumer, Gillibrand, and Fetterman all find themselves targeted by the ascendant antisemite, socialist wing of their party. Swalwell is an indication that they will take down anyone who gets in their way, aiming the same anger at old-school Democrats that they once reserved for Republicans. Even Pope Leo, who George — as a life-long Catholic — laments is a “Chicago Machine Pope,” has decided to go all-in on the global effort to halt Trump's agenda and rein in America. That this puts them on the side of the terrorist regime in Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah doesn't embarrass them. But at least the fiction that the groups aren't all one in the same has been exposed by the ayatollahs' own admission.

Donald Trump's war on Pope Leo is worsening. JD Vance warned that the Pope, who condemned Trump's war on religious grounds, should “be careful” in his theology. Mike Johnson dismissed the Pope's criticisms by bizarrely invoking Just War Doctrine, which Trump and Pete Hegseth are serially violating. All this reveals Trump to be demanding that his leading sycophants (even devoutly religious ones) place him above the Pope—and indeed that they recognize no higher allegiance than to the president. Meanwhile, The New York Times has an epic piece on his mental decline, which reports that many ex-allies are sounding the alarm, from Marjorie Taylor Greene to numerous top first-term advisers. We talked to former national security official Olivia Troye, who just announced a run for Congress. She recounts what she witnessed first-hand about Trump's unfitness, why his enablers are much worse this time around, and how his madness is now impacting Americans' everyday lives.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Joe explodes out of the gate with a jaw-dropping cold open: election expert Jeff Lenberg reveals rigged elections go all the way back to 1990 and says Bill Clinton most likely didn't legitimately win either. From decades of stolen elections to selected leaders and a captured judiciary, Joe lays out how the system has been rigged to install special-interest puppets while Americans get sold the lie of “free and fair” elections. He then torches Colorado Congressman Jason Crow for pushing government control over social media algorithms, the controversial Dignidad Act being sold as “border security” while critics call it amnesty, and Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger quietly signing the state into the National Popular Vote Compact handing Virginia's 13 electoral votes to the national popular vote winner.Election data powerhouse Seth Keshel joins the show for a hard-hitting deep dive. They break down Smartmatic's own CEO admitting their machines can be manipulated for fraud, Tina Peters' heroic effort to preserve Dominion server images before they were wiped, and the forensic evidence that keeps piling up in Colorado and across the country. Joe and Seth expose how the global election fraud cartel has operated for years and why Tina Peters remains locked up while the real criminals walk free.The show closes with explosive new drama surrounding Colorado gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx: Candace Owens' deep dive into his background, his bizarre response, and the growing GOP infighting as Mark Cook, Ryan Schuiling, and others call out the “Victor hype machine.” From rigged elections to social media censorship and amnesty bills, Joe makes it crystal clear the game is rigged, the chaos is intentional, and the American people are done playing along.

What if one of the biggest health threats on Earth… is something you can't see, taste, or even fully measure yet? In this urgent solo episode, Darin breaks down the rapidly escalating crisis of microplastics and nanoplastics infiltrating our bodies, water systems, and environment.

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:02:09] Trump Now Pushing "Clean" FISA Extension — Two Years After Calling for It to Be Killed Trump is pushing an 18-month FISA Section 702 reauthorization — the exact authority he called Congress to "KILL" in 2024 because it was used against him. He now says he's willing to give up citizens' rights so the military can use it in the Iran war. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:11:01] FISA Was Born to Sanitize Warrantless Surveillance — and Became a Blank Search Warrant for Everyone The Frank Church hearings were secretly about warrantless surveillance of Americans. FISA created a secret court that became a rubber stamp. Section 702 expanded it to collect any American's communications touching any foreign target. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:25:21] After Being Laughed Out of Court, Trump Returned With a Secret Grand Jury to Unmask the ICE Critic After using a 1930 customs law to demand Reddit user data on an ICE critic and being publicly challenged, the government returned secretly with a grand jury — bypassing the open court that stopped them. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:31:47] California Passed What Critics Call the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" — Criminalizing Investigative Journalism California's AB 2624 would penalize journalism exposing government-funded entities: misdemeanor charges, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedowns — the same playbook Kamala Harris used against Daleiden. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:37:03] Fed Money Growth Doubled in February — Printing Presses Back On Before Iran War Inflation Hits February money growth doubled to $198 billion from $82 billion in January — before any Iran war inflation has filtered through the supply chain. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:50:39] Arterburn: Trump's Tariffs and Iran War Together Are the Perfect Plan to Create a Global Energy Crisis If you wanted to engineer a global energy crisis and controlled demolition of the current financial system, Trump's war and tariffs are the reverse-engineered perfect plan. We haven't begun to feel the impact. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:09:59] World Economy Is 126 Trillion — But 800 Trillion If You Count All Currencies and Bonds Propping It Up Arderman: $800 trillion in currencies and instruments prop up a $126 trillion economy. Gold was 20% of the world economy in 1979. It's 3% now. Currency expansion plus rising energy prices is a recipe for absolute disaster. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:29:16] Pete Hegseth Delivered a "Prayer" to His Troops Lifted Word for Word From Pulp Fiction Hegseth read what he presented as a biblical prayer — which synced to Samuel L. Jackson's fake Ezekiel 25:17 from Pulp Fiction. The verse doesn't exist. Michael Flynn previously did the same using a New Age cult leader's prayer. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:43:49] Senate Voted 40-59 to Continue Arming Israel — Same Day Netanyahu Said Vance Reports to Him Daily A motion to stop funding Israel's weapons failed 40 to 59 — the same day Netanyahu told the Israeli people that JD Vance "reported to me in detail, as the people of this administration do every day." ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:51:16] Netanyahu: JD Vance Called Me From His Plane to Report in Detail on the Negotiations Netanyahu stated Vance "reported to me in detail, as the people of this administration do every day." He added: the ceasefire explosion came from the American side — they refused to tolerate Iran's alleged violation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:54:55] Pentagon Is Now Planning a Cuba Military Operation — Trump Says "I Can Do Whatever I Want With It" The Pentagon began Cuba planning in January when Trump curbed oil shipments. Trump publicly said he could "take Cuba in some form" and added, "I think I can do anything I want to with it." ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:58:40] Theologian: Israel's 80-Year US-Backed Military Campaign Looks Nothing Like Joshua's Miracle J.D. Hall: miracles don't require the Balfour Declaration and Rothschild banking networks. Joshua took the land in five years with farm implements. Israel has the world's most powerful backer for 80 years and still can't win. Perhaps the miracle is that they've been stopped. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

City of Seattle allowed stolen goods market to run openly on 3rd Avenue for six weeks. People on Capitol Hill continue to distance themselves from Eric Swalwell. // A new report found that the Biden DOJ used the FACE Act to target pro-life Americans at the behest of pro-abortion organizations. // A doctor is warning that wearing fitness trackers could have unintended side effects.

According to the FBI, Americans lost nearly $21 billion to cyber-enabled fraud last year—a 26% increase from the year before. And the single largest category? Investment-related fraud, with more than $8.6 billion in losses. But what's most unsettling isn't the scale... it's how simple some of these scams really are. A retired couple recently lost thousands of dollars from their IRA after a scammer tricked them into sharing a single six-digit verification code over the phone. No hacking. No stolen password. Just one text message and one phone call. In this episode, I'm breaking down how "account takeover" scams work, why they're so effective, and the specific steps you can take to close the security gap. Here's what you'll learn: → The 3-step pattern behind most account takeover scams  → Why your personal information may already be compromised (and what that means for your account security) → What to do—and what not to do—when a financial institution contacts you about suspicious activity → 3 simple upgrades to better protect your accounts that most people overlook In a world where scammers only need a few seconds to strike, your ability to slow down and take back control of the moment may be the most valuable layer of protection you have. ***

For decades, Americans were promised that a college degree guaranteed a secure spot in the middle class. But instead of entering corporate management, many graduates are finding themselves trapped in low-paying service roles with crippling debt. Is this widening gap between expectations and financial realities fundamentally reshaping the modern American workforce? New York Times reporter Noam Scheiber joins the podcast to unpack the core arguments of his new book “Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class” about this labor shift. He argues that the psychological injury of these broken promises is sparking a unique wave of workplace activism.  The systemic failure of the college wage premium poses urgent questions for the future of American capitalism. If millions of highly educated citizens feel cheated by the system, the resulting political and economic destabilization could be severe.  Subscribe to our Youtube Channel Follow Capitalisn't on Instagram & TikTok Send us your questions or comments by emailing capitalisntpod@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

//The Wire//2300Z April 15, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: ANOTHER SCHOOL SHOOTING REPORTED IN TURKEY. ATTEMPTED CHILD ABDUCTION HALTED IN NEBRASKA. MAJOR FIRE REPORTED AT AUSTRALIAN REFINERY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Turkey: Following yesterday's mass shooting at a school, another school shooting was reported in the town of Kahramanmaraş. One gunman conducted a small arms attack at Ayser Çalik Middle School this morning, which resulted in an estimated 4x fatalities and 20x others wounded.Australia: This evening a major fire was reported at the Viva Energy refinery in Geelong, Victoria. Shelter in place orders have been issued for a large portion of the city due to the smoke from the fire, and the facility burned throughout most of the day.Analyst Comment: The cause of the blaze has not yet been disclosed, however this is one of two refineries in Australia, which is now out of commission at a time when the fuel crisis is becoming a much more substantial problem.-HomeFront-Nebraska: An attempted child abduction was reported yesterday afternoon in Omaha. Local authorities responded to reports of a woman with a large kitchen knife at the Walmart on 72st Street, who had taken hostage a 3-year-old child and his guardian inside the store. Upon arriving on scene the suspect had maneuvered with the child to the parking lot, and was engaged by police, halting the attack. The suspect was killed at the scene, and the child was wounded by the attacker during the incident, but is expected to make a full recovery.Analyst Comment: The assailant has been identified as Noemi Guzman, who has a long history of similar attacks. In 2024, Guzman stabbed her own father and attempted to set him on fire, before departing the scene and breaking into a church armed with a large kitchen knife. During that incident, the Priest had to barricade himself in the Rectory while Guzman attempted to kill him. Guzman was released without bail immediately after that initial incident by Judge Russell Derr before eventually being found not guilty by reason of insanity, and subsequently released.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Strait of Hormuz, the overall situation is confusing at best, which is largely due to the metrics and vocabulary choices used to describe what is going on. As time has gone on, this has become a major problem for understanding what is happening with global trade. For instance, the status of whether or not the Strait is open, is now a grand debate. On the one hand the White House states that the US is working to open the Strait, but on the other hand they are turning ships around who try to transit the waterway.At lower levels of governance, many American officials are stating that a few dozen ships have 'transited the Strait' since the Iranians created the new Larak Island tollbooth arrangement. However, this phrasing is misleading even though it is technically true. On any given day local traffic does transit the Strait, as it always has. Small fishing boats, dhows moving cargo from one Iranian port to another, or other smaller ships carrying cargo within the Middle East have always been allowed by the Iranians even before the ceasefire came into effect.This is how numbers get inflated (or deflated) regarding this conflict...nobody is using the same terminology and many decision-makers are talking past each other without using the same metrics. Now that the US Navy is enforcing their own blockade, another metric arrives for everyone to track, namely how many non-Iranian vessels are transiting the region, and whether or not they have cargo on board. Some empty vessels have been allowed in by the Americans, other empty vessels have been halted by either the Americans or Iranians, and some have been approved by the Iranians, only to get turned around by the Americans. A

Are you currently struggling with constipation, yet nothing you've done to heal it has worked? Have you been told that if you just ate more fiber, drank more water, or took the right supplement that you'd finally find constipation relief - but nothing is actually changing? Or maybe you're doing all the “right” gut health things (chewing your food, cutting out gluten or dairy, eating organic) and yet you're still constipated, bloated, and wondering what you're missing? If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Today, we're talking about a slow and silent epidemic that is costing our nation, and individuals, hundreds of thousands of dollars and hours in the workplace, family, and our communities: the constipation epidemic in America. Even though rates of constipation have been rising for decades, and even though more people than ever actively pursuing healthier gut health practices, we're not seeing improvement. According to research done in 2023 by Ipsos, 20% of Americans feel they are at a dead end in their healing. In this episode, I'm diving into the American constipation epidemic. I'll be going through:research revealing just how bad the constipation epidemic iswhat this same research is suggesting is the cause of constipationwhat I see is being missed by research in understanding the true causes of constipationwhy so many approaches to natural constipation relief keep falling short If what we're being told to do to relieve constipation actually worked, wouldn't we be seeing different results by now? If you're tired of guessing, tired of quick fixes that don't stick, and ready to understand what's really going on in your body - you don't want to miss this episode.

Sudan marks the third anniversary of its civil war. The fighting has led to a de facto partition of the country and created the world's largest humanitarian crisis. The conflict was triggered by a power struggle between the regular army and paramilitary fighters, the Rapid Support Forces. Peace efforts led by the Americans have failed, as both warring parties get support from regional powers that enables them to keep fighting. Sudan's economy has collapsed; 65 per cent of the population is in need of food, water, shelter and medicine. A shift towards drone warfare has also been deadly for civilians – killing nearly 700 so far this year. Donors are gathering in Berlin for an international conference with no sign of progress on failed peace efforts.Also: Negotiations between the US and Iran could be back on, just days after peace talks in Pakistan broke down; CEOs are creating AI clones of themselves to attend meetings on their behalf; President Zelensky says Ukrainian forces have retaken territory occupied by Russian forces using only drones for the first time; and why small talk could be beneficial to your mental and physical health.

Americans must fight a war on two fronts: against MAGA fascism and Democratic Party complacency. Wajahat Ali of the Left Hook on Substack and author of Go Back to Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become American joins Gaslit Nation to discuss how to actually build back better this time.  Donald Trump is America's karma of white supremacy, greed, and misogyny. But while the MAGA virus burns through our institutions, another danger is the "Big Club" in Washington, D.C. where Republicans and Democrats share the same donors, the same golf clubs, and the same refusal to tax the rich.  The DNC thinks they can waltz into power by not being Trump, but voters want a fighter and they want accountability. We are watching a righteous rage build across the globe, from the resistance in Ukraine and Hungary to vigilante violence here at home. When an Amazon worker drops dead and colleagues are told to work around the body, the status quo makes revolution by any means inevitable.  Ukrainians are fighting a war on two fronts: homegrown corruption and Kremlin fascism. We must see ourselves in the same fight. If the Democrats choose the James Carville "possum strategy" and refuse to face reality, they are simply clearing the deck for a more competent autocrat in 2032.  EVENTS AT GASLIT NATION: Gaslit Nation Salons take place Mondays 4pm ET over Zoom and are recorded and shared on Patreon.com/Gaslit for our community New!

Jimmy Dore analyzes Donald Trump's absurd threat to "blockade" the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran already controls and has been charging $2 million per ship to allow passage, while military experts like Scott Ritter and Larry Johnson explain that any U.S. attempt to board foreign ships would be an act of war—and that U.S. naval vessels are staying 700 miles from the Iranian coast after being driven back by drone attacks.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point out that Trump will simultaneously beg for a ceasefire and threaten to bomb Iran again, all while admitting gas prices "could be a little bit higher" before the midterms — an admisstion that stunned even Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo.  Ritter notes that the U.S. has already lost the war, that Iran holds all the cards, and that any new escalation would trigger Iran to destroy Gulf energy infrastructure, collapse the global economy, and end modern civilization in the region. Jimmy concludes that Trump is completely controlled by Netanyahu, who needs the war to continue to avoid prison and secure reelection in Israel. Plus segments on Trump's hostile response to Pope Leo, negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner's divided loyalties and the impending demise of NATO. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Col.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kevin Cohee.Title: Owner, Chairman & CEO of OneUnited BankHost: Rushion McDonaldPodcast: Money Making Conversations Masterclass Kevin Cohee discusses the mission, history, and future of OneUnited Bank, the largest Black‑owned bank and the first Black‑owned internet bank in the U.S. The conversation connects Black economic history, financial literacy, technology (AI), and wealth-building, positioning OneUnited Bank as a modern solution to long‑standing financial exclusion in Black and underserved communities. Purpose of the Interview The interview is designed to: Educate listeners on why Black-owned banks matter historically and economically. Explain how technology has transformed banking, making location irrelevant. Address financial exclusion, particularly reliance on check-cashing services. Promote financial literacy as the foundation of wealth creation. Position OneUnited Bank as a practical, accessible tool for individuals, entrepreneurs, and communities to build equity. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. A Mission Rooted in Black History Kevin Cohee frames OneUnited Bank as part of a long historical vision, not a modern trend. Leaders such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. all advocated for a national Black-owned bank. Cohee’s own family legacy ties back to Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, including land ownership stemming from negotiated “40 acres and a mule” outcomes. Takeaway: Economic independence has always been central to Black progress. 2. From Brick-and-Mortar to Digital Banking OneUnited originally grew by acquiring small Black-owned banks nationwide. The bank pivoted early toward technology-driven banking, recognizing that: Customers expect 24/7 access Physical branches are no longer required Digital reach enables national—and global—impact Key insight: Technology allowed OneUnited to become a national Black bank without national branches. 3. Financial Technology Built for Real-Life Problems Kevin Cohee emphasizes that OneUnited designs products around how people actually live, not just traditional banking norms. Examples include: Second-chance checking accounts Emergency small-dollar loans Alternative credit criteria Nationwide surcharge-free ATM access AI-powered tools that help users understand: Cash flow Assets vs. liabilities Net worth (or debt) Financial decision-making in real time Takeaway: Banking should help people function—not punish them for past mistakes. 4. Financial Literacy Is the Real Wealth Gap Cohee states that 90% of Americans are financially illiterate, largely because: Financial literacy is not taught in K–12 education He compares this to not teaching reading—and then blaming people for illiteracy. OneUnited uses AI and data aggregation to help customers make expert-level decisions without being experts. Key message: Financial literacy, not income alone, determines long-term wealth. 5. Ending Dependence on Check-Cashing Services Kevin sharply criticizes high-fee check-cashing businesses that dominate underserved neighborhoods. OneUnited offers digital check deposits, debit cards, and ATM access—removing the need for physical branches. Anyone, anywhere in the U.S., can bank with OneUnited via oneunited.com. Takeaway: Lack of access is no longer an excuse—awareness is the missing link. 6. Technology as the New “40 Acres” Kevin draws a powerful parallel: Land ownership was once the primary source of wealth. Technology and financial literacy are today’s equivalents. Entrepreneurs no longer need to manufacture products—branding, distribution, and digital reach are the new leverage. Key insight: Technology levels the playing field—if people understand how to use it. 7. Mandatory Financial Literacy as a Policy Solution Kevin advocates for required financial literacy courses in all U.S. schools. He cites research showing: One required high-school financial literacy course can generate $100,000+ in lifetime net worth per student. He frames this as a matter of equity, not preference. Takeaway: Systemic problems require systemic solutions. Notable Quotes “The concept of a national Black-owned bank goes all the way back to slavery.” “We’re not behind in technology—we are the party.” “Ninety percent of Americans are not financially literate.” “You don’t have to go to check cashers and get ripped off.” “Technology is the new 40 acres.” “Financial literacy alone can generate over $100,000 in net worth per person.” “There has never been a better time to build a business than right now.” Overall Impact This interview is both a financial masterclass and a historical lesson. Kevin Cohee reframes banking as a tool of empowerment, not just transactions, and positions OneUnited Bank as: A modern solution to historic exclusion A technology-first institution built for underserved communities A catalyst for financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation Final message: Access + education + technology can finally close the racial wealth gap—if people choose to engage. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The American press has had high moments and low moments over the years, and it's safe to say that we're in a low one. After decades of dishonest reporting and blatant bias, trust in media has cratered. According to a 2025 Gallup poll, the number of Americans who report that they have a “great deal or fair” amount of trust that mass media reports the news “fully, fairly, and accurately has fallen to 28%. Among Republicans, it's fallen to 8%.  But the worse the situation gets, the more important it is for good journalists (and yes there are good journalists) to fill the void. And nowhere is that more important than at the Daily Signal, a national news organization that has its roots here at the Heritage Foundation. They've been at the forefront of a lot of big stories over the last few years, and are announcing some new exciting developments. To understand it all, I sat down with Rob Bluey, Editor in Chief, at the Daily Signal.   Email us with thoughts, questions, or suggestions: HeritageExplains@heritage.org   Rob Bluey on X: https://x.com/RobertBluey The Daily Signal: https://www.dailysignal.com/ 

"The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter." -- The Maltese Falcon Episode 985 of The Professional Left takes a deep dive into the word "normalizing" — a term that gets thrown around constantly in political coverage, but rarely gets a clear definition. Driftglass and Blue Gal trace how a stubborn 30% of Americans have believed one wild conspiracy theory after another for decades, and argue that what looks like normalization on the Left is really just exhaustion from years of fighting battles that others are only now waking up to. The episode uses a surprising example — the slow, hard-won acceptance of women priests in the Church of England — to show what real normalization actually looks like, and why it's very different from what pundits mean when they scold people about Trump. Personal stories, sharp media criticism, and a 1973 sci-fi film all make appearances along the way, connecting the political moment to something much bigger and longer in the making.Link for this episode:  Driftglass and Blue Gal on The Bill Show from Australia!  https://www.podbean.com/ep/pb-q42x7-1a99204Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

The world energy supply continues to be choked by both Iran and America's blockades on the Strait of Hormuz.

The inability and unwillingness of young Americans to have conversations across the political aisle has become a major problem, preventing us from having a cohesive and civil society. And it has become clear that a large share of the blame for this can be laid at the feet of institutions like universities. Matt Kibbe sits down with philosopher Peter Boghossian, whose "Street Epistemology" series encourages better discourse between people of different political persuasions. They discuss whether the institutions can be salvaged or whether they need to be completely replaced, whether mass migration is compatible with classical liberalism, and how best to get people to actually listen to each other again.

Tax Day is here, and Washington wants credit for "relief" that still leaves you poorer. Nate and Chuck break down why no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security is not what it sounds like. This episode covers tax day, inflation, government spending, Trump tax policy, Republican spending, and why the real tax is what the government spends. The guys dig into the fine print behind no tax on tips and no tax on overtime, plus why those savings can get wiped out by inflation, borrowing, and war. They also react to the staged DoorDash grandma White House clip, debate whether Republicans deserve to lose the midterms, and explain why mass pardons for administration officials could become a bipartisan disaster.

President Trump promised that new tax provisions in his One Big Beautiful Bill would deliver a windfall to millions of Americans. No more taxes on overtime. No taxes on tips. No taxes on  Social Security payments. While many taxpayers are seeing larger tax refunds this year, the fine print behind Trump's promises means these tax breaks have been smaller than many expected. We look at the impact of changes in the tax code and who stands to benefit the most. And if you haven't submitted your returns yet, we want to hear from you: What questions do you still have before the midnight filing deadline.

What happens when a patient can't afford the treatment you prescribe but is too embarrassed to say so? Health care executive Adam Cunningham joins the show to unpack the devastating ripple effects of medical debt, drawing on his KevinMD article, "The hidden toll of medical debt on patient health and survival," and sharing how one friend lost her job, her insurance, and nearly her ability to function before finding affordable biologic treatment for rheumatoid arthritis overseas. You'll hear why 16 percent of U.S. suicides have a contributing factor of medical debt, how patients weigh financial ruin against ending their lives, and what makes China's tier one hospitals a surprisingly viable option for Americans priced out of care at home. Cunningham explains the accreditation systems that ensure quality abroad, the role patient advocates play in navigating costs, and the one question every physician should ask before assuming a patient will follow through on a treatment plan. If you've ever wondered whether medical tourism is legitimate or just risky, this episode offers a grounded, practical perspective you need to hear. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Few time periods have been as defined by waves of monumental social change as the United States during the 1960s. Even today, almost sixty years later, the era is often depicted as a triumph of social progress. Yet, as Dr. Larry M. Bartels and Dr. Katherine J. Cramer show in The Politics of Social Change: From the Sixties to the Present Through the Eyes of a Generation (U Chicago Press, 2026), it was Americans' diverse reactions to the milestone events of the time—from the welcoming, to the fiercely resistant, to the largely oblivious—that planted the seeds of our current political turmoil. Their masterful analysis draws on a unique historical resource: the longest-running systematic tracking of individual Americans' political attitudes and behavior ever attempted. The study began in 1965 when researchers interviewed hundreds of high school students across the country and then periodically reinterviewed them over the next three decades. Bartels and Cramer supplement this historical record with in-depth interviews with dozens of the original students, painting a detailed picture of the generation's individual and collective political development. By tracing the responses of the Class of '65 to major events of their political lifetimes—including the Civil Rights and Women's Rights movements, the Vietnam War, the shifting role of religion, escalating economic inequality, immigration, and the rise of Donald Trump—Dr. Bartels and Dr. Cramer shed new light on the evolution of public opinion and the unsteady progress of American democracy. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Rep Eric Swalwell is resigning from the House of Representatives and dropped out of his race for Governor amid mounting sexual assault allegations. Reporters say that Swalwell's behavior was known – if that's the case why wasn't it reported?  This points to a long-standing cover-up by elected Democrats, party operatives, and elements of the media, who continued to support and promote Swalwell despite the allegations. Swalwell was protected by Democrats and the media.  Jonathan Turley calls in and expresses suspicion over the rapid fall of Swalwell, who went from leading Democratic candidate for California governor one week to facing criminal and nanny investigations, plus an expedited Ethics Committee probe the next. He pointed to Democratic discomfort with Swalwell potentially running in California's jungle primary, where two Republicans currently lead, raising fears of a Republican vs. Republican general election. Also, the Democrats repeatedly invoke the 25th Amendment, knowing the media will amplify it to create a hostile environment for the president, even though the Vice President and Cabinet will not act. The Democrats who falsely claims Congress can invoke the 25th Amendment are ignorant.  Their push to remove President Trump by any means—25th Amendment, impeachment, or resignation—reveals their hypocrisy, as they once covered up Biden's incapacity. Later, Zohran Mamdani says he'll fight for the many, but not the few—what does that even mean? Capitalism created automobiles, the greatest medical system on earth, air conditioning, heating, housing for the vast majority of Americans, and fully stocked food stores. Socialism created nothing; it is not in the business of wealth creation, economic growth, or innovation—only control and redistribution of wealth.  Democrats pretend to be the champion of the many but actually hate them, as shown by open borders and refusal to deport criminal illegal aliens.
