Rob Sexton, BFA's Legislative Affairs Director, joins the podcast to discuss The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The Good: A bill in Ohio to restore Second Amendment rights to nonviolent offenders is on the move. The Bad: Democrats have introduced multiple bills to ban AR15s and Glocks. The Ugly: Anti-gun researchers try to blame poor dental hygiene on gun violence.

A judge blocks the White House from banning foreign students at Harvard University.

Another wild week in sports, and Craft Brewed Sports is diving headfirst into the chaos. Ohio lawmakers want to ban Noon kickoffs for big games (because why not?), the NFL is trying to tweak everything from the Tush Push to playoff seeding, and Olympic Flag Football is officially happening—with NFL players allowed to suit up. We're building the ultimate Team USA Flag Football roster, debating if Brock Purdy is worth the bag, and breaking down the WNBA's biggest rivalry: Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese. Also on tap: Shaq stokes NBA Draft conspiracy theories, MLB continues fixing problems nobody asked them to, and Drake blames Bieber for yet another Leafs collapse. Grab a cold one and let's get into it.

10am Hour 1 - Zach Jones and Derek Kramer talk about the NFL's conversation about the tush push ban and if the league will improve if the play is banned.

When a routine patrol suddenly becomes a life-or-death situation, what really goes through an officer's mind? In this riveting episode, former officers Erik and Banning deliver raw, unfiltered analysis of real police encounters caught on bodycam.The heart-stopping footage begins with an Indiana officer engaging a suspect who had shot his wife before fleeing with their baby. As bullets fly across a snowy bridge, the hosts break down the officer's remarkable tactical decisions that saved both his own life and the child's. Their expert commentary reveals the complex calculus of confronting armed suspects while accounting for innocent bystanders—a masterclass in crisis response under extreme pressure.The conversation takes a surprising turn with the infamous "rat dog incident," where a trespassing stop escalates dramatically after a suspect throws a small dog at an officer before fleeing. This bizarre encounter sparks a thoughtful discussion on identification requirements, consensual police contacts, and the legal boundaries of detention. Viewers gain rare insight into how officers distinguish between merely suspicious behavior and actual criminal activity.Perhaps most illuminating is the hosts' candid assessment of controversial incidents, including a deputy who pulled over a state trooper traveling at 105mph without emergency equipment. Their nuanced take on "policing other police" and pursuit policies demonstrates the ethical complexities within law enforcement that rarely make headlines.Throughout the episode, Erik and Banning's chemistry shines as they weave professional expertise with humor, creating an educational experience that appeals to both police supporters and those skeptical of law enforcement tactics. Their transparent approach—acknowledging both exemplary police work and moments where different strategies might have yielded better outcomes—offers a refreshingly balanced perspective on modern policing challenges.Ready to see police work through the eyes of those who've worn the badge?

Executive Order on Gain of Function Research: President Trump issued an executive order restricting federal funding for gain of function research, which involves experimenting with viruses and pathogens that could potentially trigger a pandemic. The order aims to prevent US tax dollars from funding such research in countries like China and Iran, and strengthens oversight mechanisms to ensure biomedical research is conducted safely. The controversy around gain of function research became prominent during the COVID-19 pandemic, with theories suggesting the virus might have originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Self-Deportation Program: The Trump administration introduced a program offering $1,000 and travel assistance to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily leave the United States. This initiative aims to save government resources, as deporting an undocumented immigrant costs approximately $17,000. The program uses the CBP home app for migrants to register and self-deport, with the stipend paid once their departure is confirmed. Trade Negotiations: We mention ongoing trade negotiations between the US and Canada, following Canada's federal elections. President Trump is also engaging in trade talks with China, aiming to address tariffs and improve trade relations. Media Coverage and Public Reaction: We highlight media reactions to Trump's policies, noting that pro-immigration advocates are critical of the self-deportation program. It also mentions the media's struggle to criticize the executive order on gain of function research due to its perceived benefits. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The national party has introduced a new members bill to ban social media for those aged under 16. The bill will put the onus ion social media companies to verify that someone is over 16 before they can access the platform. National's coalition partner ACT called the bill 'unworkable' and oppose it. The panel speak to Leonardo Puglisi, the 17 year old and the founder and chief anchor of 6 news, a social media streaming channel. He makes the case against the ban.

Statue of Bobby Sands to be unveiledOn May 4 at 3pm, a statue of Bobby Sands will be unveiled in the Republican Memorial Garden in Twinbrook, where Bobby lived. The organisers of the event, all local republican activists and all inspired by the courage and self-sacrifice of Bobby and his comrades, have worked hard over recent years to raise the funds for the statue. Former hunger striker Pat Sheehan who spent 55 days on the 1981 hunger strike will speak about Bobby and his comrades who died.There will also be a Bobby Sands Mountain Walk that morning and the annual Bobby Sands lecture will be given that evening by Pat Sheehan in the Andersonstown Social Club.Bobby was the first of ten republican hunger strikers to die during the H-Block hunger strike of 1981. He died on May 5. The others were: Francis Hughes; Raymond McCreesh; Patsy O'Hara; Joe McDonnell; Kieran Doherty TD; Kevin Lynch; Martin Hurson; Tom McElwee; and Mickey Devine. Nor should we forget Michael Gaughan 1974 and Frank Stagg 1976 who died on hunger strike in prisons in England.I knew Bobby and Francie Hughes, Kieran Doherty and Joe McDonnell. I also met Tom McElwee and Mickey Devine on a visit to the prison hospital in July 1981. They were all ordinary young working class men. Joe McDonnell at 30 was the eldest. The rest were all in their 20s. In extraordinary times they revealed a depth of resolve that few are ever called upon to demonstrate.The RefugeesA hurried worried people, a human stampede to God knows where,Were spat out from the back streets, for God knows who to care.Their little kitchen houses lit up the night around about‘For God and Ulster' was the reason that the refugees were driven out. Oh little humble homes where the people hugged the open fire,Oil-clothed floors and little ornamented cabinets that the neighbours would admire,The little backyard havens where the youngsters would playAnd in the hall the little font of holy water to bless you on your way! Pope FrancisThe funeral last Saturday of Pope Francis was an occasion to mourn the passing of a leader who championed progressive causes, stood up for those most marginalised and vulnerable while opening the door to reform within the Church. There is much more to be done to make the Church democratic. I am among those who are alienated by the deep absence of equality in the Church's structures.  Banning women from the priesthood is totally unacceptable as is the opulence of some institutions and the unaccountability of church leaders, particularly over the treatment of children and vulnerable people.  But still there are good priests and nuns and many decent people doing their best to make amends.  They include Pope Francis. The many stories of his deep sense of compassion for the sick and vulnerable and those who are victim of abuse and violence have filled the airwaves and social media since his death. His loss is a huge blow to the institutional Church which often seems aloof to the trials and tribulations of ordinary people while being less than open about the sins of some within its own ranks.

“What happened during COVID is exactly a perfect illustration of the harms of sacrificing some for the many,” says Leslie Manookian, founder and president of the Health Freedom Defense Fund.She played a pivotal role in getting her state of Idaho to pass the first legislation in the United States banning most medical mandates, including vaccines and masks.“One of my missions at Health Freedom Defense Fund, in founding this organization, was to educate the public and raise awareness about the importance of medical freedom, because I think it's the most basic and fundamental of human rights—and then to codify that in law. And the Idaho Medical Freedom Act is the first step in that process,” says Manookian.In this episode, we dive into the volatile process of getting this bill signed into law, and discuss why Manookian believes Americans must be protected from being forced to undergo medical interventions—even if they are potentially lifesaving.“On the last day of the legislative session, we were able to insert … that no healthy, unvaccinated individual may be excluded from any educational entity or any business entity on the basis of a disease outbreak. So just because you're unvaccinated, if you're healthy, they can't kick you out,” says Manookian. “In the last 50 to 70 years, somehow public health has started to intrude into private health, and I think that's a mistake.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

As a part of the Harris Policy Innovation Challenge, UChicago graduate students were tasked with answering the question, “What can Chicago do over the next three years to create a thriving downtown for the next 20 years?” The winning team came up with a proposal to revitalize a stretch of Michigan Avenue – from the Chicago River to Roosevelt Road – into a pedestrian-focused cultural corridor. In other words: get rid of cars. Reset learns more about the potential benefits of a car-free zone with Samantha Anderson, UChicago student and member of Harris Policy Innovation Challenge's winning team, and Daniel Knowles, Midwest correspondent for The Economist and author of Carmageddon: How Cars Make Life Worse And What To Do About It.
