For a long time, many conservatives have lamented the inability to bring election integrity to blue states governed by politicians that clearly don't want it. We're still a long way from getting it, but the first major hurdle to achieving a potentially massive victory was just achieved.

Houston, we have a problem. Islam and Sharia law have set its sights on Texas . Islam has no historic claim to America. Sharia law and mosques on every street corner are not something we need to tolerate.

Minnesota and Illinois are suing the Trump administration to slow down or reshape ICE operations—using the language of federalism and constitutional rights to challenge how immigration law is enforced. Todd Huff breaks down what these lawsuits are really arguing (administrative warrants, “sensitive locations,” and claims of political retaliation), and why the bigger story is a sudden left-wing “concern” for federalism only when enforcement shows up in blue jurisdictions. He also revisits Arizona v. United States and explains the difference between civil immigration removal and criminal conviction—plus why enforcement isn't “punishment,” it's the federal government doing its job.

The great and powerful President Donald J. Trump engaged with the press in a lengthy “gaggle” with reporters on his Air Force One flight from Mar-a-Lago back to the White House yesterday, and covered a wide breadth of topics—Greenland, Cuba, Columbia, Somalians, Chicago crime, Gavin Newsom, and more!--with deep implications for the nation and the world.

As we roll into the midterms, the Democrats are already rolling out "Affordability" as a key battle cry. Well, the facts show that the average blue state pays an estimated 37% more for electricity than the average red state.This podcast went out on the Energy Impacts Podcast with David Blackmon and the Energy News Beat Podcast with Stu Turley. Tom Pyle, the CEO of the Institute for Energy Research, lays out the article linked below, and it is very clear. Energy Policies account for the greatest increases in energy costs.The main topics discussed in this podcast are:1. Electricity and energy prices in the United States, particularly the higher costs in "blue" (Democratic-leaning) states compared to "red" (Republican-leaning) states. The transcript discusses a report by the Institute for Energy Research called "Blue States High Rates" that analyzes this trend.2. The impact of renewable energy policies and mandates, such as renewable portfolio standards, on electricity prices. The transcript argues that these policies, combined with the forced closure of traditional baseload power sources like coal and nuclear, have driven up costs in certain states.3. The challenges faced by states like California and New York in maintaining reliable and affordable energy supplies due to their aggressive climate and renewable energy policies. The transcript discusses issues like the closure of refineries, reliance on imported energy, and the difficulties in building new natural gas pipelines.4. The role of the federal government, particularly the Trump administration, in energy policy decisions and their impact on electricity prices. This includes topics like the EPA's endangerment finding and the potential benefits of rescinding it.5. The broader political and ideological divide between "red" and "blue" states on energy and climate policy, and how this translates into differences in electricity affordability for consumers.Check out the Substack article https://blackmon.substack.com/01:25 Intro to the main topic of Blue State and High Rates02:23 Tom Pyle, breaks down the report07:16 Wind and solar in Texas08:43 Graphic on costs in blue vs. red states14:25 transmission lines and costs17:24 California and its Energy Crisis21:02 Energy Policy defines electricity rates26:54 Jones Act and LNG Tankers37:33 Carbon Taxes and Net Zero#energynewsbeat #netzero #democrats Connect with Tom on his LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasjpyle/Check out the IER Institute for Energy Research https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/the-grid/blue-states-high-rates/

Which state is the fraud capital of America? California or Minnesota? That’s the question today as two deep-blue states race to the bottom in a competition no one should want to win. We start in California, where the state auditor just dropped a devastating report, flagging eight major state agencies as “high risk” for waste, fraud, abuse, and outright mismanagement. Billions of taxpayer dollars, little accountability, and a system that seems engineered to fail while politicians pat themselves on the back and ask for more money. Then we turn to Minnesota, where investigative journalist Nick Shirley exposes another blue-state disaster—fraud schemes so blatant they look almost cartoonish. From taxpayer-funded programs turned into personal piggy banks to officials asleep at the wheel, Minnesota is making a serious run at stealing California’s crown. Two states. Same ideology. Same results.Exploding budgets. Vanishing money. No consequences. Today we break down how California and Minnesota are competing for the title of worst-run, most fraud-ridden state in America, and why this isn’t bad luck—it’s the predictable outcome of one-party rule and zero accountability.

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Smothered Benedict Wednesday is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Kavanaugh joined the 6-3 Supreme Court decision that denies Trump the ability to take over each Blue State's national guard, but found time to troll the American people about January 6 and bolster Trump's claims of unlimited power.Then, on the rest of the menu, twenty-one Democratic-led states sued the MAGA White House over consumer protection bureau funding; the city of Newport, Oregon is suing Trump to stop federal officials from building a new immigration gulag there; and, voters sued to suspend Missouri's new MAGA-congressional map until a referendum can be held in November.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where the US barred five Europeans it says were the “masterminds” behind the EU's Digital Services Act that censors online hate; and, a pro-Russian hacking group claimed responsibility for a major cyberattack that halted France's national postal service just days before Christmas.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live Player​Keep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!“It may be safely averred that good cookery is the best and truest economy, turning to full account every wholesome article of food, and converting into palatable meals what the ignorant either render uneatable or throw away in disdain.” - Eliza Acton ‘Modern Cookery for Private Families' (1845)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.

In breaking news, a 6-3 Supreme Court, including 3 of the MAGA right wing, have ruled AGAINST Trump and his method to federalize and take over Blue State national guard troops, and have found, in essence, that unless he uses the Insurrection Act, and then uses the US armed forces first to quell violence, he won't be able to breach state sovereignty and take over state militias and put them to his own use. Michael Popok also takes a close look at Justice Kavanaugh's “concurrence” that not only reads like a dissent, but also trolls the American people with a rewrite of the history of the Jan6 attack on the Capitol to suit his pro-president/Trump jurisprudence.

We treat dieting like a reset button. We assume we can wipe the slate clean with a new plan and fresh discipline. But the brain keeps a record. In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of the "Diet Trap" and how chronic restriction creates a "Hunger Highway" that makes food noise louder and willpower weaker. We stop blaming your character and start looking at the engine—specifically, how to shift from a "Red State" of threat to a "Blue State" of safety to finally turn down the noise.Important points discussed:The Willpower Gap: Why you are working twice as hard for half the results compared to ten years ago.The Hunger Highway: How neuroplasticity physically rewires your brain to become efficient at being hungry.Red State vs. Blue State: Understanding why your brain interprets a calorie deficit as a survival threat.The Binge Logic: Why bingeing is not a failure of discipline, but a successful biological rescue mission.Radical Maintenance: The counter-intuitive protocol required to heal the metabolic damage and shut off the alarm bells.Action Step: Stop the deficit. This week, your goal is "Radical Maintenance." Feed your body consistently to convince your brain the famine is over. You cannot rehabilitate a damaged organ while you are still attacking it.

It's been a wild time in the markets; there are many questions in the oil and gas markets. Will the Trump Administration stop the dark fleet tankers from filling up 4 million barrels this weekend, as they did with the one they confiscated last week? 1. The Trump administration's actions against Venezuela, including the capture of a “dark fleet” oil tanker. We discuss whether this is more about oil or a show of force against the Venezuelan government. Stu chimes in that Panama is not renewing their “Belt and Road” initiative with China, so did taking the Tanker last week prove that this is more about the Monroe Doctrine? 2. The potential impact on the oil and gas markets if there is a regime change in Venezuela, including the possibility of increased foreign investment and production.You have to ask the question Who has the most oil reserves? Then you have to ask which companies produce the most oil, as energy policies and profits matter. If you have huge reserves but you can't get the oil and gas out of the ground because of corruption, you might as well not have the natural resources. 3. The European Union's decision to freeze Russian central bank assets in response to the war in Ukraine, and the potential retaliatory actions Russia could take by restricting energy exports to Europe.4. The growth of AI data centers in Texas and concerns about the ability of the Texas power grid to handle the increased electricity demand.5. A comparison of electricity prices between Democratic and Republican-leaning states, with the transcript suggesting Democratic states tend to have higher electricity rates.Time Stamp for Chapters: 00:20 Regime Change in Venezuela will change the markets04:39 Dark Fleet has 2 tankers in Venezuela, will President Trump intercept? 08:16 EU seizes Russian money, and it won't end well. 18:16 Blue states' energy is higher due to policies25:24 The world is healing1.Regime Change in Venezuela Will Change the Oil Markets2.Dark Fleet Oil Ships Dock in Venezuela, Showing Challenge for US3.What Are the Impacts to the EU Should They Seize Russian Monetary Assets?4.Ukrainian Drone Strikes Escalate: Afipsky Refinery Hit Amid Wave of Attacks on Russian Oil Infrastructure5.Is the AI Data Center Build Out in Texas a Home Run or a Potential Bust?6.Blue States, High Rateshttps://energynewsbeat.co/invest/Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/p/regime-change-in-venezuela-will-change

The Trump DOJ tells a federal judge to “F-off” again, this time in sworn declarations in a criminal contempt proceeding. NY AG Tish James is on the verge of getting a second US Attorney handpicked by Trump fired by a federal judge, as a grand jury stands up to the Trump DOJ. Ghislaine Maxwell may have just lost her lawyer, as a federal judge in Florida orders more Epstein files released. The Supreme Court may have opened the door to new congressional maps again, but given a clear path for Blue States to outmaneuver MAGA at its own game, and create more Dem new seats than MAGA. The Supreme Court can't help itself but to wade into another core Constitutional Right, this time about birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.

Dr. Jerome Corsi exposes what they describe as a rapidly escalating breakdown of America's political, financial, and national security systems. From massive voter roll lawsuits and foreign infiltration, to precious metals breaking historic price levels and the Ukraine war entering its final phase, this broadcast connects the most critical developments shaping the future of the United States.

The Rod and Greg Show Rundown – Tuesday, December 2, 20254:20 pm: Sean Stevens, Chief Research Advisor for the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), joins the program to discuss the results of a new survey of college students, including students at Utah Valley University, about how the assassination of Charlie Kirk is shaping student attitudes and behavior.4:38 pm: Jarrett Stepman, Columnist for the Daily Signal, joins the show for a conversation about his piece about the massive gap between red states and blue states when it comes to affordability.6:05 pm: Utah Senate President Stuart Adams joins Rod and Greg to discuss the latest on the Utah Legislature's efforts to overturn the congressional map put into place by Judge Dianna Gibson.6:38 pm: Jeff Charles, News Editor for Townhall, joins the show for a conversation about his piece on the 5,000 Afghan nationals flagged as national security risks allowed into the U.S. by the Biden administration.

Lots of work to do—let's get to it—Here are 3 big things for this hour—   Number One— Black Friday set all time sales records—but what about Cyber Monday? Is the nation healing? Are we on our way to something better in the economy? Seems like it—   Number Two— The lines are being drawn between the United States and Venezuela—an offer was made for the dictator Maduro to go—BUT so far that hasn't happened—but what is this really about? More than drugs I can assure you—   Number Three— We start today with yet another blue state disaster—when it comes to the money from hard working tax payers—  

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com launches with John Rush and Dave from Veteran Windows and Doors (https://www.veteranwindowsdoors.com), revealing a surprising winter shake-up in the home-upgrade world: discontinued product lines, looming January price hikes, and why cold snaps suddenly make homeowners notice every draft. Should you upgrade now before the window—literally—closes? From there, John pivots into a fiery cultural critique. Why are manners vanishing? When did America become a place where pajamas pass for travel wear and courtesy is optional? John from Cheyenne jumps in, sharing stories of airline standards and the lost art of dressing with respect. Then the hour turns sharply toward national intrigue as Leslie Corbly (https://lesliecorbly.com/), attorney and author of Progressive Prejudice: Exposing the Devouring Mother, joins the show. John and Leslie delve into the Epstein files, James Comer's investigations, and the Clinton machine—asking the real question: is justice even possible when power runs this deep? Leslie breaks down political immunity, entrenched influence, and why the truth about Epstein may not surface for decades. Hour 1 blends home insights, cultural reality checks, and high-stakes political analysis. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with John Rush tackling one of the biggest political landmines of 2025: why is inflation worse in blue states—and is the solution as simple as leaving them? John challenges long-held assumptions about Colorado politics, the MAGA label, and the growing clash between affordability and ideology. Why are so many voters misreading the state's political climate? And is the exodus to red states a temporary trend or a permanent warning sign? In the second segment, John and Jerzee Joe break down the real numbers behind inflation. What happens when energy prices triple from one state to another? Why are Americans slipping into cultural sloppiness—from fashion to personal standards—and is it tied to a deeper Marxist drift? Their conversation asks the bold question: Have we become a nation that expects equal treatment no matter the effort? Richard Rush jumps in with a high-energy breakdown of the Broncos' season. Are Denver fans underestimating how hard it is to win in the NFL, especially when you're living in “Stage 3” of franchise building—winning all the close games while your heart rate spikes every Sunday? Hour 2 closes on a high-octane note as Richard Rush delivers a first-look review of the 2025 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail. Is this hybrid luxury off-roader the new benchmark for capability and refinement? Or does its six-figure price tag raise more questions than answers? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason hits hard from the opening minute as John Rush welcomes Professor Marc Defant (https://www.marcdefant.com), University of South Florida, whose explosive peer-reviewed paper challenges the foundations of modern feminist studies. Why are entire academic departments ignoring evolutionary biology, known health science, and decades of empirical research? And what happens when “body positivity,” gender ideology, and attacks on masculinity collide with actual data? Defant pulls back the curtain on Marxist influence in universities, the disappearance of alpha males, and how students are being shaped by ideology rather than truth. After the interview, John shifts into real-world examples—from airline travel to cultural expectations—to show how entitlement, victimhood, and the loss of traditional masculinity play out in everyday life. Finally, caller Brad joins the conversation for a rapid-fire political rundown: Tennessee's special election, GOP infighting, MAGA identity, Jerome Powell, Senate math, and whether conservatives can learn how to win again. If you've ever wondered who controls the narrative, what happened to common sense, and whether America can course-correct, Hour 3 is a conversation you can't afford to miss.

The House of Representatives will vote today on whether to release all the Jeffrey Epstein files.

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys take an early look at the "re-opening" of the government. They also dive into the "Blue Wave" on election night--was it really, or just the expected outcome of races in Blue States? And they discuss Donald Trump's threat of a billion-dollar lawsuit against the BBC over a highly edited version of his speech near the Capitol on January 6th.

In addition to Trump's and MAGA's  election night shellacking, Trump had a historically bad week in courtrooms around America.  First Judge McConnell in Rhode Island issued a permanent injunction forcing Trump to fund infrastructure projects in Blue States; then Judge Immergut entered a preliminary injunction to block Trump's use of the National Guard on the streets of Oregon; then Federal Judge Currie ordered the turn over off all grand jury materials about Lindsey Halligan's role in prosecuting Trump's political rivals be turned over to her; then Judge McConnel (again) issued a temporary restraining order to ensure that 42 million Americans don't starve to death and Trump pay out $8 billion in funding asap.  Which brings us to the MAGA Supreme Court Justices looking their collective noses down at Trump's Solicitor General as they consider whether to overturn Trump's signature Tariff scheme.  No wonder Trump chickened out and failed to even show up in Court for the Supreme Court today as he had promised.  All this and so much more on the top rated Legal AF podcast with Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – It's incomprehensible that today's Democrat party is publicly siding with the destruction of the rule of law while misrepresenting many aspects of the new regulations. Their complaint is despicable, as is their desire to stand with those who would promote racism, encourage violent protests, support terrorism, traffic children, and mutilate their bodies...

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Wednesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Democrats' bigger-than-expected wins in Virginia and New Jersey, Zohran Mamdani coasting to victory in New York City, and several ballot initiatives that mostly went the wrong way.First, they dig into Virginia, where Democrat Abigail defeated Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears by nearly 15 points, outperforming every major poll. That landslide also helped rage texter Jay Jones win the attorney general's race by six points, while Democrats picked up 13 seats in the state legislature. In New Jersey, Democrat Mikie Sherrill beat Jack Ciattarelli by 13 points. The wins were not shocking, but the margins were, and Scot and Greg break down what those results mean heading into 2026.Next, they come to grips with Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City mayor's race by taking comfort that Andrew Cuomo won't be mayor. They also highlight some very ominous indications of what's to come from Mamdani's victory speech. Dems will undoubtedly try to mimic his smiley socialism in some parts of the country next year. Are Republicans ready to fight it?Finally, they analyze key ballot measures across the country, including strong conservative victories in Texas protecting parental rights and requiring proof of citizenship to vote. But not all results went the right way, as Gavin Newsom's gerrymander gimmick passed easily in California, and Colorado voters approved a tax hike on the wealthy to fund free school meals.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

In breaking news, a Trump-appointed Federal Judge issued a late Sunday night emergency Preliminary Injunction continuing to block Trump's attempts to violate State Sovereignty and federalize and deploy state militia/national guard on the streets of Portland. Michael Popok explains that the Judge will be entering the final Permanent Injunction against The Trump Administration by Friday, but because Trump refused to give her the time to issue her final order, she was forced to enter an emergency preliminary injunction. Popok also explains how this case and its legal arguments may impact the United States Supreme Court's ultimate decision on whether Trump can send federalized troops into Blue States and Cities because he says so.

Tomorrow is election day in New York City, and Zohran Mamdani is leading comfortably in most polls. Mamdani has been the frontrunner since winning the Democratic primary this summer. He promises higher taxes on the rich and a housing reform plan that includes a rent freeze. Critics argue that these policies will hurt landlords, discourage new investment and development projects, and encourage some wealthy residents to leave the city. Real estate agents in upstate New York, Connecticut, and other states, like Florida, claim they're already fielding calls from nervous New Yorkers considering a move. FOX Business Real Estate Contributor and host of Mansion Global on FOX Business Prime, Katrina Campins, speaks with Lydia Hu about the so-called “Mamdani Effect” and the national trend of Americans leaving Blue States for low-taxed Red Ones.

Michael Popok explains why a 1 paragraph order in the last few hours from the Supreme Court may spell disaster for Trump's plan to continue to attack Blue States and Blue Cities with federalized National Guard. That one question could signal that there is at least 1 MAGA Supreme Court justice who may be willing to rein in Trump and his abuse of the National Guard.

Should the President of the United States provide disaster relief to states based on their politics? On whether it's a blue or a red state? Crazy question, right? But that's what Trump is currently doing. Providing federal disaster relief to states that voted for him and denying relief to states that didn't vote for him. MAGA, MAGA. Hosted on Acast.

Do blue states have any recourse against a federal government that only functions to punish them?

Is Lindsey Halligan, Trump's latest flavor of the month, gunning for Pam Bondi's job as Attorney General?   And how much longer can a Bondi squint, scoff and roll her eyes in Senate Judiciary Committee meetings and still keep her job? How are Biden appointed judges viewing the deficient on their face indictments of Former FBI Director Comey and AG Leticia  James?  Did Trump just tell China we ware spying on them in order to indict his political critic John Bolton? Is Trump's DOJ helping Ghisilaine Maxwell with her writ of Habeas Corpus filing to get out of jail now that she's lost at the Supreme Court? Will the MAGA Supreme Court chastise federal judges who are trying to protect states from Trump's using of a standing army to punish Blue States and political rivals, or preserve our system of federalism and states' rights?
