Donald Trump has this uncanny ability to make Democrats tell on themselves without even trying. Barack Obama just gave us another example.[X] SB - Pres Trump Obama SOBObama recently decided to float the idea that Donald Trump has him "living rent-free" in Trump's head. That's rich. That's like the guy who burned your house down complaining that you keep bringing up the fire. "Kevin, why are you still talking about the arsonist?" Because I'm still rebuilding the kitchen, genius.Obama wants to turn accountability into obsession.Every time Trump has to fix another Obama disaster, somehow Obama translates that into, "See? He can't stop thinking about me."No, Barack. That's called cleaning up after you.If your teenager wrecks the family car, you don't spend six months in the body shop because you're obsessed with your teenager. You spend six months there because he drove it through the living room.Obama wants to frame history as psychology.Trump isn't haunted by Obama. America is still paying Obama's bills.And I have to laugh at the phrase "living rent-free."If anybody would understand rent-free housing, it'd be Democrats. If Obama were living anywhere inside Trump's mind, it'd have to qualify for Section 8. There'd be federal subsidies, three oversight committees, two NGOs, and somehow USAID would still send money overseas.Obama accomplished something remarkable. He convinced millions of Americans that decline was sophistication.[X] SB – DSA in their own words Act from the belly of the beast.

By adulthood, people start believing the real thing must also be cute.Then reality enters the chat.That's exactly how socialism gets sold."It's about fairness.""It's about compassion.""It's about everybody sharing."Right...Until the government eats everything in your refrigerator and starts charging you rent to use your own stove.Leftism always arrives wearing fuzzy slippers.It leaves wearing combat boots.That's why I always laugh when people say, "Well... it sounds nice."So does petting a bison.Until you discover frequent-flyer miles aren't supposed to be earned by your body.Speaking of Leftists discovering reality...There's a congressman named Shri Thanedar who's apparently getting thrown overboard by his own party.Now think about how hard that is.The man filed seven articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.Seven.At that point you're not trying to impeach him.You're trying to collect the whole set.And despite all that...Democrats still say he isn't left enough.His platform actually included government transparency.Transparency?Did he accidentally campaign as a Republican?That's like walking into a mafia meeting and saying, "I'd like to discuss better accounting."No wonder they're replacing him.He only wanted a fifteen-dollar minimum wage.Democrats are probably saying, "Fifteen? Grandpa... catch up."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome back to The Kevin Jackson Show. Buckle up, where today we're diving into the greatest hits of Democratic projection, where the party that spent four years telling us Joe Biden was sprinting marathons and doing cartwheels now wants us to believe Donald Trump's health is a national emergency.You've got Maggie Haberman out here whispering that Trump's health is like a “black box” inside the administration. A black box? [X] SB – MSNOW Maggie HabermanMa'am, the man was more visible than a Vegas marquee for eight straight years—rallying, golfing, tweeting at 3 a.m., dodging bullets both literal and figurative. We saw more of Trump than we saw of our own families during COVID. But suddenly it's Schrödinger's President: alive and dead until the Democrats open the box and tell us what to think.Let's hop in the Wayback Machine, shall we? Remember when they warned us Trump would start World War III on day one? That he'd be a dictator? That Melania was secretly running the country? That he'd never leave the White House alive—wait, that last one they're still working on. Every prediction landed with the accuracy of a weatherman in a hurricane, yet here they are, dusting off the same script like it's a greatest-hits album nobody asked for.And speaking of greatest hits nobody asked for, we now learn there was yet another plot against Trump—and roughly 30% of this country, the usual suspects on the left, the DSA crowd, the blue-check revolutionaries, were low-key rooting for it to work. They weren't just hoping; they were practically taking pre-orders on the commemorative T-shirts. “Thoughts and prayers” my ass—they were doing cartwheels in the group chat.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Rod and Greg Show Daily Rundown - Friday, July 17, 20264:20 pm: Stephen Soukup, Director of The Political Forum Institute, joins the show to discuss his piece for American Greatness on how the politicization of everything allows for shady tactics in attempts to gain power.4:38 pm: Todd Bensman, Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Border Security and Immigration Center, joins Rod and Greg to discuss his piece about why stopping asylum fraud schemes should be the next tool used to secure the nation's borders.5:05pm: Cleta Mitchell, Founder of the Election Integrity Network and a Senior Research Fellow at the Conservative Partnership Institute, joins the program to discuss the takeaways from President Trump's speech last night, and to explain why people from the intelligence community haven't been prosecuted for hiding information about the election from Trump.6:05 pm: Jennifer Graham, Ideas and Culture Editor for the Deseret News, joins Rod and Greg for a conversation about her piece on President Trump's claim of having an approval rating of 59% with no polls found to substantiate the claim.6:20 pm: We'll listen back to this week's conversations with Utah Speaker of the House Mike Schulz on his conversations with President Trump as the President prepared to deliver on his promise to shrink the acreage footprint of Bears Ears and Grand-Staircase Escalante, and (at 6:38 pm) with Peter Laffin of the Washington Examiner on how President Trump needs to reset the conversation about Iran, beginning with American citizens.6:50 pm: A new episode of CEO's You Should Know with April James of Hearts Knit Together.

The overall arc tonight is President Trump stepping to the mic in prime time with Democrats already feeling the squeeze—back in office, systematically taking them apart policy by policy, and now standing there like a guy who's lifted the hem on their whole operation and seen the pretenders underneath. No more hiding behind the same old scripts. This segment focuses on the pre-speech scramble: the media and Democratic apparatus spinning like tops before a single word drops, the anticipation of what “receipts” he might actually deliver, and why the very fact they're this rattled tells you the game has changed.Democrats are rightfully scared of what President Trump is going to say on Thursday. They've bet the ranch on the 2020 election lies and the January 6 bullsh*t holding forever. Now the guy they swore was finished is in the Oval Office again, dismantling their narrative machine piece by piece. The White House has signaled the speech centers on election security—voting machines, foreign interference angles from his first term, the whole apparatus that decides who actually wins. Reuters and the usual suspects are already framing it as recycled “complaints” and “false claims,” complete with the ritual “courts found no large-scale fraud” line. That's the spin cycle on full blast before he even clears his throat.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Platner was their fresh face until reality caught up. ActBlue's Fifth Amendment parade shows the fundraising engine doesn't like basic questions. International fans experiencing America on the ground exposed how much of the doom narrative was always projection. The old reliable outrage props—abortion, police encounters, border stories—aren't landing like they used to because people have seen the pattern.The irony builds slow but lands hard: the side that spent years accusing everyone else of undermining democracy now panics at the idea of actual election security talk. Their only remaining cards are the same 2020 and January 6 lies, and those are the ones Trump is positioned to hit hardest. When those get debunked publicly, the ripple doesn't stay contained—it forces a harder look backward at how institutions and media handled things and forward at what they've pushed since.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This statistical breakdown will make you think twice about your late-night drives!

You won't believe the whiplash happening at the border!

Prepare to be absolutely shocked!

Welcome, folks! We have a packed show today, because apparently the world decided to produce enough material in the last 24 hours to keep comedians employed for another decade.And for us, it's almost all good news. And while the “war” wages on with Iran, I say to you, “Don't panic”. Our president has things in check.More on that in a bit…But let's begin with Kamala Harris. I honestly believe her to be worse than Biden on saying stupid stuff.Let's begin with the Lesbian Basketball League, aka the WNBA.Kamala Harris recently praised the league for its "commitment to excellence."Really?Because I watched one of the league's recent highlights, and it looked less like basketball and more like a deleted scene from Fight Club: The Layup Edition.Apparently excellence now includes trying to choke out your biggest star.And who was the target? Caitlin Clark.Imagine if a group of white girls targeted a black girl and gave her beatdowns on the regular? CNN would already have a six-part documentary. MSNBC would have candlelight vigils. We'd have congressional hearings before halftime.Didn't we get enough of these movies where a race had to overcome adversity?Will Hollyweird pull a classic move and cast Caitlin Clark as Harriet Tubman?Instead?Crickets.The media suddenly developed the observational skills of a goldfish.So apparently we've reached a new definition of excellence. Sell tickets with a superstar...then let everybody mug her because she's too successful.Imagine the NBA treating Michael Jordan that way."Michael's too popular. Let's let Bill Laimbeer choke him for ratings."That's not excellence.That's envy with a scoreboard.And the WNBA won't be “excellent” until they allow transexuals in.

Good morning, folks! You ever notice that nature has become the greatest political commentator in America? We spend billions on think tanks, cable news, polling, consultants, and focus groups... meanwhile, a bison says more in eight seconds than CNN has managed in eight years.Did you see the video?A giant male bison is lying there, minding his own business, probably thinking about grass, taxes, and whether Yellowstone has enough parking. Then along comes a couple who decide, "You know what this thousand-pound wild animal needs? Me... six feet away... with an iPhone."That's confidence bordering on a medical condition.The bison starts rolling around on the ground. He's giving every warning nature invented. He's basically saying, "I'm trying to remain a vegetarian today. Don't test me."Instead of taking the hint, they stick around.Then the bison gets up.Now, if a bison stands up and starts running at you, there are only two acceptable responses. One is run. The other is pray while running.These folks chose... photography.A white SUV drives between the bison and the couple, buying them precious seconds. They duck behind some trees. You can't see much. Then the man bolts toward the SUV, and just as he reaches safety...BOOM!That bison lowers his head and launches the guy about fifteen feet into the air.I've watched enough football to know that wasn't a tackle.That was assisted flight.I imagine the bison thinking, "What is WITH these white people?"Listen, I love my white friends. But there really should be a cable channel called Crazy Crap White People Do.Season One:Episode One: Selfie with the bison.Episode Two: Let's pet the bear.Episode Three: Honey, I bet that hippo is friendly.Spoiler alert... every season finale ends in the emergency room.And before anybody gets upset, relax. Every race has its thing.Black folks generally don't look at a wild animal and think, "I wonder if he's huggable."We're more likely to look at the bison and say, "That dude owns this neighborhood. Let's keep driving."See? That's called survival.But here's why this story matters.Because this isn't just about a bison.It's about Leftism.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Border security may be one of government's most visible missions but measuring what's happening along the border is far more complicated.

Folks, I have a question. And this one is just for the men listening.How cold... would you have to be... before you looked down and thought, "Well, I guess THIS is going into the fireplace."Seriously. What's the temperature? Negative 200? Ice Age? Penguins filing workers' comp claims? Because I can tell you right now, my survival instincts are going to lose that argument every single time.I ask because there's a story out of Indiana that reads like somebody gave ChatGPT a concussion.Police respond to a stabbing.Firefighters respond to a garage fire.At first you think, "That's a busy night."Then the investigations merge into one story, and somehow the missing family member turns out to be... well... only partially missing.According to investigators, this guy allegedly cut off his own penis... and then set it on fire.Now, I don't know who looked at that crime scene first, but imagine being the detective."So... we've got a fire.""Anything accelerate it?""Apparently poor decision-making."The reports say he admitted it.Admitted it?Sir, I don't think you needed a confession. I don't think CSI had to dust for fingerprints. There are some crimes where the evidence introduces itself.And here's what really gets me.He gets charged with... arson.Arson!That's adding insult to catastrophic injury.The prosecutor's reading the charges like it's any ordinary Tuesday."Sir, you're charged with destruction of property...""...and by the way... the State would also like to discuss the garage."Now, I have practical questions.Since when is that considered firewood?I grew up learning about kindling.Nobody ever said, "If the logs are damp..."And imagine the Boy Scouts handbook."Today we're earning the Fire Safety badge.""No, Kevin... NOT THAT!"The article says a family member was reported missing.Missing member?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Funny how outrage always seemed to come with an invoice attached.Trump talks about Obama because Obama left behind a political Superfund site.You don't criticize the previous administration because you're nostalgic.You criticize it because the cleanup is expensive.Iran is a perfect example.Obama handed over billions.We were told it was diplomacy.We were told pallets of cash would moderate the ayatollahs.Apparently the theory was if you give terrorists enough allowance money they'll suddenly discover yoga and artisanal coffee.Instead, Iran funded proxies.Expanded influence.Accelerated its nuclear ambitions.Destabilized the region.Exactly what critics predicted.So when Trump reminds people about Obama's Iran policy, that's not personal.That's historical.Recently Trump joked that even the Iranians considered Obama... less than beloved.And Obama's response?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The emotional reactions keep rolling in after the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham.

Good morning, folks. Welcome to The Kevin Jackson Show. Lindsey Graham dead…I'm Kevin Jackson, and today we're talking about wars—plural. The ones President Trump is fighting inside this country and the ones he's refusing to lose outside of it.Let's start with the obvious one everybody's pretending to clutch pearls over: Iran. Can anybody seriously blame the man for finally treating them like the liars they've always been? These are the same people who've spent years swearing on a stack of whatever they don't believe in that they're not building bombs, not funding terror, not planning to turn the Middle East into their personal playground. Then they get caught red-handed and act shocked when somebody stops playing along. It's like catching the same guy breaking into your garage every other Tuesday and then getting mad when you finally change the locks. We're going to spend some time on Iran today because the story's bigger than one headline and the media would rather you not look too closely.Meanwhile, the polling numbers keep doing something the left swore would never happen again: they're going up. Trump's sitting at his highest levels in months. The only thing that's actually changed is the media occasionally running out of negative adjectives and being forced to report what's actually occurring. Wild concept, I know.I was on a panel the other day with a 37-year-old gentleman who insisted the DSA movement is growing. I asked him the same questions I've asked plenty of others. First one was simple: Who's the leader of the Republican Party? One hundred percent of the panel said Trump without blinking. Then I asked about the Democrats. He tried to be cute and said Joe Rogan. The room laughed. The problem is, it wasn't that funny—because when your party's brand is so damaged that a comedian with a podcast starts looking like the adult in the room, maybe the real joke is on the people still pretending everything's fine.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He changes the environment so completely that the original attack almost becomes irrelevant.And that's why his opponents always look like they're one move behind.They're not one move behind.They're reading yesterday's notes.Trump never had a playbook.He's writing the next page while they're still highlighting the last one.The Soviet Union wasn't defeated because Americans invaded Moscow.East Germany didn't collapse because somebody delivered a really angry tweet.Authoritarian systems eventually begin eating themselves. They become so obsessed with controlling everyone else that they forget to maintain themselves.It's political auto-cannibalism.I've never seen political opponents spend so much money marketing somebody else's brand.It's like Coca-Cola buying Pepsi commercials.Thank you for your contribution.Foreign adversaries make another interesting mistake.They assume America is divided enough that we won't defend ourselves.History suggests otherwise.Americans argue constantly.We debate taxes.We debate spending.We debate who ruined Thanksgiving.But when somebody outside decides America should lose?That conversation changes.Very quickly.The people betting against America usually discover they've mistaken cable television for national character.Those are not the same thing.Here's the larger lesson.Strength isn't about wanting conflict.Strength is convincing the other guy that conflict would be the dumbest decision he'll make all year.That's deterrence.It's cheaper than war.It's faster than war.And it usually prevents war.As for the Democratic Party, they're facing a different problem.They're discovering that the American people have become much harder to frighten.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Money? Money is brutally honest. Money doesn't clap because it likes your speech. Money leaves when it thinks you're about to drive the company bus into a lake.And if you look at the donor migration over the last decade, Democrats have a problem that no amount of blue hair dye can cover up. “FOLLOW THE MONEY, FOLLOW THE ADDRESS CHANGE”If you want to understand American politics, stop staring at the candidates like they're the main event.They're not.They're just the delivery system.The real story is sitting in the back room with the checkbook, deciding whether it still believes in the neighborhood.Because money doesn't argue. Money doesn't tweet. Money doesn't need applause.Money just… moves.And lately, that movement has started to look less like drift and more like a change of mailing address.Let's start where the temperature is rising.Democrats have a billionaire problem that doesn't show up in campaign slogans.It shows up in exits.Elon Musk didn't politely disagree with Democrats and keep writing checks. He rewired the whole relationship. From Democratic-leaning tech figure to one of the largest Republican-aligned political financiers in the country.[X] SB – Man argues for Trans rightsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Republicans don't haven an exit ramp. Instead, they have a traffic circle with a lot of honking.And while Republicans absolutely have internal disagreement, they don't show the same pattern of sustained high-profile capital permanently relocating into the Democratic donor universe.That's the key distinction.One side is experiencing visible exits from elite donors.The other side is experiencing friction without mass departure.And yes, there are moments where Republican donors cool off or pause.But pause is not the same thing as departure.A paused checkbook can reopen.A relocated checkbook usually doesn't come back with interest.Now layer in the infrastructure.Because this is where it stops being about personalities and starts being about plumbing.Democrats still have one of the most powerful fundraising engines in modern politics. Small-dollar digital fundraising is fast, efficient, and deeply embedded in the system.But the broader environment around it is getting more complicated.Scrutiny is increasing around political fundraising pathways, nonprofit-linked funding structures, and the flow of money through organizations that sit adjacent to campaigns.And whether that scrutiny is fair, political, or overdue depends on who you ask.But donors don't wait for consensus.Donors react to friction.And friction, in financial language, is just another word for hesitation.Meanwhile, Republicans are operating with a different balance sheet reality.Not perfect dominance. Not uniform advantage.But a relatively stable high-dollar donor base, plus selective inflows from outside traditional Republican circles, especially from parts of tech and finance that once defaulted Democratic.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats are watching their own party tear itself apart right now, and the fighting inside is uglier than anything they want to admit on television. When MAGA moved in and took over the Republican side, it was a straight-up battle royale. Trump came out on top three times, and that last one made it crystal clear who runs the show. America First stopped being talk and turned into the actual rulebook. They cleaned house on the establishment types, got rid of the Romneys and McConnells who kept steering the party into the same old ditches, and zeroed in on stuff that hits home with eighty percent of regular folks—securing the border, sending illegals home, cutting crime, and bringing manufacturing jobs back where they belong. Those wins keep stacking up because they match what most Americans want. In the 250th year of this country, that approach is firing people up instead of turning them off.The Democrats never went through anything like that reckoning. They're still pretending they can paper over the cracks while different factions pull in opposite directions. No obvious leader steps up when you ask. Is it Mamdani, the socialist mayor of New York who's done next to nothing but gets handed the biggest stage? Or somebody else? That vacuum tells you everything.

There is no shortage of stories reminding us of one very important fact about the modern Left:They are incredibly committed to learning absolutely nothing.It's almost impressive. At this point, refusing to learn has become a core competency. If there were a college degree in “Ignoring Reality While Demanding Reality Apologize,” half of Washington would graduate with honors.And the bill for that stubbornness is coming due.A new national survey from I&I/TIPP, a pollster with a strong track record of accurately projecting presidential election outcomes, shows President Donald Trump's standing improving heading into July. The interesting part isn't just Trump's numbers. It's where the movement is happening.Republicans are consolidating. Independents are moving. And Democrats?Well, let's just say the political weather forecast is calling for more internal thunderstorms.The phrase used in the report was that “Democratic views worsened.”That is one of those polite phrases you see in political reporting. It's like saying a restaurant's food was “interesting” when everyone at the table is quietly reaching for the antacid.Democrats aren't just having a bad week. They're having the kind of identity crisis where the GPS says, “Recalculating,” but even the GPS sounds exhausted.And this is the part that should concern Democrats: they still seem to think the problem is messaging.No.The problem is that voters are looking around and saying, “Wait a minute. The people telling us how the world works don't seem to have noticed the world.”That's a dangerous place for any political party.Because voters can forgive mistakes. They can forgive bad ideas. They can even forgive politicians being politicians.But voters do not like being treated like they're too stupid to notice what's happening.And Democrats are finding out that voters have eyes.They see the economy. They see public safety. They see immigration. They see government institutions that have spent years telling them one thing while reality keeps filing complaints.Speaking of reality, we have to talk about some of the issues where the Left expected the public to stay permanently angry.Remember when enforcing immigration laws was supposed to be political poison?Apparently not.We were told that any serious enforcement of immigration laws would create some kind of national uprising. But as enforcement ramps up, the reaction from many Americans seems less like outrage and more like, “Wait, you mean the government is actually enforcing the law?”Imagine that.It turns out there are people who believe a country should know who is entering it. Wild concept. Somewhere a bureaucrat just dropped his coffee because he heard someone say the word “border” without immediately adding a 47-page disclaimer.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Folks, there's never a shortage of material when Leftism decides to put on a full-court press of crazy. Today's no different.We start with former NFL linebacker Jason Short, now accused of being a racist. In this day and age that charge gets tossed around like a bad handoff on fourth-and-one. Buckle up—we're going to take a look at this one because, trust me, the laughs are already writing themselves.Then there's Andrew Gillum, the man who came within a whisker of becoming governor of Florida. He just got himself arrested for dope. I'm not saying the state dodged a bullet… but did Florida dodge a bullet or WHAT? We'll check the scoreboard on what he's been up to since that narrow loss to DeSantis and see how the “almost governor” chapter is playing out.Over on the international side, Iran is back doing what Iran does best—acting like the neighborhood bully who keeps getting surprised when somebody finally punches back. This country has been a rolling disaster for decades, and I'm glad the guy in charge right now isn't treating them like a diplomatic science project. President Trump is putting another whoopin' on these folks, and he's calling them exactly what they are: liars and crazy. [X] SB – Pres Trump calls Iranians liarsIran's apparent game plan? Stretch this thing out until the midterms so Democrats can use it as campaign fuel. Good luck with that strategy.Word is Trump's also been giving Italian Prime Minister Meloni the business. That's not going to end well for her. Expect the back-channel calls to start immediately and a very public olive branch to show up in the next couple of weeks. She'll figure it out.Meanwhile, Trump is out here doing what he does—kicking over tables and making people deal with the consequences.In Florida a federal judge just reversed a ruling from Judge Sparkle Sooknanan—yes, Sparkle—who had blocked the federal government from using SSN searches and bulk uploads to verify citizenship on voter rolls. That roadblock just got removed. At the same time we're finally deporting people who've been treating America like an all-you-can-eat buffet they never intended to pay for.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this hard-hitting episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings breaks down the shocking new development along America's southern border and across the country: billboards are openly advertising “Birthright Citizenship” with “Deliveries starting at $4,000.”President Trump responded immediately, calling it a scam that is monetizing American citizenship and accelerating chain migration. He declared the Supreme Court's ruling wrong and announced he is demanding an immediate rehearing.Doug explains why this isn't just another immigration debate — it's the active exploitation of a broken system that treats citizenship like a product for sale. He explores the real-world impact on sovereignty, the rule of law, legal immigrants, and what this means for America's future.This episode goes beyond the headlines to show why birthright citizenship has become one of the most powerful magnets for illegal immigration — and why President Trump refuses to accept it as the final word.If you care about border security, the meaning of American citizenship, and whether our laws still matter, this episode is a must-listen.

Isn't it fun watching Democrats and other Leftists?[X] SB – Young woman gives rundown of Democratshttps://www.mediaite.com/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-deletes-post-attacking-platner-accuser-for-doing-rape-for-politics/Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene lashed out on social media at a woman who accused Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner of rape.Greene has since deleted her post.In a piece published on Monday, 41-year-old Jenny Racicot told Politico that she met Platner on a dating app in 2019 and had consensual relations with him before he forced himself on her one night in 2021 when Platner came to her house after she texted him not to. Racicot said Platner, who she said reeked of alcohol, raped her despite her repeated objections.Here's what everyone knows happened: Graham Platner had lots of baggage yesterday, including allegations from other women. One more woman got added to the pile. Yes, it was a serious allegation. But he had plenty of other disqualifying allegations before - including that tattoo, being a Communist member of DSA, spousal and girlfriend misconduct, and others. I'm going to place my bet on what actually happened. Democratic leadership got spooked - not because of any particular accusation, but because of the DSA backlash threatening to take over their own party. They knew your Senate race is a critical key to taking over Congressional control. They'd either have to spend a whole electional season defending why they're backing a Communist, or … they could take the most convenient next item in a long list of disqualifying-in-any-sane-world criteria that you'd already racked up.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Just stop for a moment and take in what's happening across the country right now. Conservatism isn't merely resurging — it's conducting a full forensic audit on the left's greatest hits, and the findings are hilarious.Start with the good stuff. Trump Accounts are live, giving kids — especially black and brown kids — a real shot at building generational wealth. The same guy the media spent eight years calling a raging racist is out here potentially turning minority children into millionaires. And what will the Democrats do once those kids cash in? Tax the hell out of them to fund another round of drag queen story hours and “equity” consultants. It's the circle of leftist life: Trump builds the ladder, Democrats show up to kick it over and charge rent on the rungs.Speaking of people who think they're above the law, meet Zohran Mamdani, the mayor who announced he won't let ICE arrest illegal immigrants in his city. Trump's reply was chef's kiss: “Then we'll arrest him.” The irony is thicker than Newsom's hair gel. The sanctuary-city tough guy who wants to shield lawbreakers from federal enforcement suddenly discovers that “sanctuary” doesn't come with diplomatic immunity for himself. Try playing border cop from city hall and see how fast the feds flip the script.Team Trump is also cleaning house on the judicial side. Articles of impeachment have been filed against foreign-born activist Judge Sparkle Sooknanan for blocking efforts to keep illegal immigrants from voting. Sparkle. A federal judge named Sparkle. Sounds less like jurisprudence and more like the headliner at a Reno casino revue. The left spent years screaming about “threats to democracy,” yet here they are defending judges who weaponize the bench to protect non-citizen voting. The hypocrisy is so thick you could spread it on toast.Now for RINO theater. Mitch McConnell has finally been exposed as the political corpse he's been for years. The establishment kept him upright like a Weekend at Bernie's routine — or should we call it Weekend at Biden's? Now sources confirm he's braindead and on life support. With actual Americans running things, his wife is suddenly getting the full investigative treatment.

Republicans don't have an exit ramp, but more of a traffic circle with a lot of honking.And while Republicans absolutely have internal disagreement, they don't show the same pattern of sustained high-profile capital permanently relocating into the Democratic donor universe.That's the key distinction.One side is experiencing visible exits from elite donors.The other side is experiencing friction without mass departure.And yes, there are moments where Republican donors cool off or pause.But pause is not the same thing as departure.A paused checkbook can reopen.A relocated checkbook usually doesn't come back with interest.Now layer in the infrastructure.Because this is where it stops being about personalities and starts being about plumbing.Democrats still have one of the most powerful fundraising engines in modern politics. Small-dollar digital fundraising is fast, efficient, and deeply embedded in the system.But the broader environment around it is getting more complicated.Scrutiny is increasing around political fundraising pathways, nonprofit-linked funding structures, and the flow of money through organizations that sit adjacent to campaigns.And whether that scrutiny is fair, political, or overdue depends on who you ask.But donors don't wait for consensus.Donors react to friction.And friction, in financial language, is just another word for hesitation.Meanwhile, Republicans are operating with a different balance sheet reality.Not perfect dominance. Not uniform advantage.But a relatively stable high-dollar donor base, plus selective inflows from outside traditional Republican circles, especially from parts of tech and finance that once defaulted Democratic.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I spoke of the money leaving Democrats, and the DSA message isn't helping the cause. For the record, Socialist don't usually have much money, except for Bernie Sanders and other so-called “Democrats” in Congress and elsewhere who have gotten rich off doing nothing.You can tell a lot about a political party by who writes the checks. Forget the polls for a minute. Polls are like New Year's resolutions. They make everybody feel optimistic until February. Money? Money is brutally honest. Money doesn't clap because it likes your speech. Money leaves when it thinks you're about to drive the company bus into a lake.And if you look at the donor migration over the last decade, Democrats have a problem that no amount of blue hair dye can cover up. “FOLLOW THE MONEY, FOLLOW THE ADDRESS CHANGE”If you want to understand American politics, stop staring at the candidates like they're the main event.They're not.They're just the delivery system.The real story is sitting in the back room with the checkbook, deciding whether it still believes in the neighborhood.Because money doesn't argue. Money doesn't tweet. Money doesn't need applause.Money just… moves.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We break down the affordability crisis on The Dawn Stensland Show with HUD Secretary Scott Turner, who joins the crew during his tour across Pennsylvania. Secretary Turner details how the Trump administration is laser-focused on expanding homeownership by cutting bureaucratic red tape and removing the regulatory barriers that stifle builders. We look at the concrete numbers behind the one-year anniversary of the Working Families Tax Cut, noting how the permanency of Opportunity Zones has already sparked over $100 billion in investment into distressed communities and created 400,000 new housing units nationwide. Dawn and election integrity attorney Linda Kearns tackle the direct link between open border policies and the housing crunch, highlighting reports that illegal immigration pushed domestic housing costs up 30% and rental demand up 20%. We shift locally to analyze Philadelphia's declining homicide rate and address the post-Fourth of July drama surrounding Mayor Cherelle Parker's decision to detonate city fireworks at 2:30 a.m. Dawn presses on the absurdity of waking up neighborhoods with late-night noise just years after city council championed bills against loud boom parties, while the team debates whether the city's event insurance will cover a postponed Christina Aguilera concert. The conversation goes deep into the mechanics of voting as Linda exposes the flaws in Gavin Newsom's recent performative speech regarding election interference and ballot seizure. We analyze why federal data grabs fail to fix the system, arguing instead for tedious, localized reforms like allowing poll watchers to get close enough to see mail-in envelopes and implementing Texas-style electronic poll books that scan driver's licenses. Finally, the crew shares a laugh over Dawn's strict no-sleep philosophy, a special delivery of pistachio chocolate from Trader Joe's, and Linda's struggle to avoid her phone by taking up local crochet classes.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to *The Kevin Jackson Show*. There are politicians who leave fingerprints.Gavin Newsom leaves monograms.If you're surprised that Gavin Newsom is swimming in corruption, you're the same folks who still think the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny file taxes. Nobody should be surprised when Gavin Newsom's name surfaces around another controversy. What surprises me is how Democrats react every single time. Republicans hear the words "federal investigation" and start interviewing attorneys. Democrats hear "federal investigation" and immediately begin interviewing public relations firms.The statement isn't, "Let's find out what happened."It's, "Who's going on CNN?"What I relish most is watching Democrats defend their corruption the way a mama raccoon defends a dumpster full of week-old takeout — claws out, teeth bared, and zero shame. And now we've got the rest of the story.**The Wiretap Reveal:**The FBI had Gavin Newsom's inner circle wearing wires since June of 2024. That's right — while Newsom was still strutting around pretending to be the future of the Democratic Party, his own longtime Sacramento Democrat, Alexis Podesta — Newsom appointee, power broker, insider for decades — was secretly recording conversations for federal investigators.This isn't some random fishing trip. The probe targeted Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson. She's already pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, filing a false tax return, and lying to the FBI. We're talking about siphoning money from a dormant campaign account — the kind of scheme that makes you wonder how many other “dormant” accounts in Sacramento are actually just slush funds with better branding.Phone calls were intercepted. Lobbyists across the capital got letters from the feds telling them their conversations had been recorded. They were stunned. And the wiretap was authorized under the Biden DOJ with a judge's approval. So Newsom can't spin this as some Trump-era gotcha. This was their own house, their own rules, their own people flipping like cheap pancakes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats are watching their own party tear itself apart right now, and the fighting inside is uglier than anything they want to admit on television. When MAGA moved in and took over the Republican side, it was a straight-up battle royale. Trump came out on top three times, and that last one made it crystal clear who runs the show. America First stopped being talk and turned into the actual rulebook. They cleaned house on the establishment types, got rid of the Romneys and McConnells who kept steering the party into the same old ditches, and zeroed in on stuff that hits home with eighty percent of regular folks—securing the border, sending illegals home, cutting crime, and bringing manufacturing jobs back where they belong. Those wins keep stacking up because they match what most Americans want. In the 250th year of this country, that approach is firing people up instead of turning them off.The Democrats never went through anything like that reckoning. They're still pretending they can paper over the cracks while different factions pull in opposite directions. No obvious leader steps up when you ask. Is it Mamdani, the socialist mayor of New York who's done next to nothing but gets handed the biggest stage? Or somebody else? That vacuum tells you everything. One side figured out how to fight smart, purge what wasn't working, and deliver results. The other side is busy arguing over how far left they can go without losing the voters they already hemorrhaged. That's the big picture here. Democrats' internal mess runs deeper than the polite coverage suggests, and it's leaving their whole operation looking shaky.A couple of facts that cut through the spin: Gallup's latest numbers show only about 39 percent of all Americans view socialism positively, but inside the Democratic Party that jumps way higher—around 66 percent like what they hear.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show—where sharp comedy cuts through the noise, and unapologetic conservatism fuels the fire. This is your daily dose of truth with a punchline, because loving America isn't just allowed—it's required.The 250th anniversary of the United States of America. Even the Brits are quietly glad we kicked their butts 250 years ago after seeing what we built. Who wouldn't celebrate this great country? A nation that survived two world wars, economic storms, and at least two spectacularly clueless presidents: Barack Obama and Joe Biden. If we can survive those two clowns, we can survive anything—including the mess they left behind.I was already energized about our country, but this weekend I had to reroute some of that power straight to the grid. Melissa dragged me out to Hoover Dam hours before sunset to watch that massive flag light up—the one the size of a football field, draped across that engineering marvel for America250. I grumbled the whole drive—until we hit the bridge. Truckers blasting horns, cars joining in, people from every corner of the world standing shoulder to shoulder, speaking every language. Pure, electric American pride. We left around 8:45, and there was already a three-mile backup of folks who wouldn't make it. Melissa looked at me and said, “See? I told you!” She was right. And from what I hear, it's packed like that every night.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Javier Milei, the president of Argentina said:“I THOUGHT BEING ON THE LEFT WAS A MENTAL PROBLEM. THE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE IS SO OVERWHELMING THAT IT NEVER WORKED ANYWHERE, AND THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT.”“BUT WHAT I DISCOVERED IS THAT BEING ON THE LEFT IS A DISEASE OF THE SOUL. THE LEFT IS BUILT ON ENVY, HATRED, RESENTMENT, AND UNEQUAL TREATMENT UNDER THE LAW. THEY ARE VERY VIOLENT, AND SINCE THEY HAVE NO WAY OR ARGUMENTS TO ANSWER, THEY GO FOR PHYSICAL VIOLENCE.”I don't think I've heard a more divisive commentary on American than the Muslim communist that NY elected as mayor.I LOVED that Mamdani took time during America's 250th birthday to talk much smack about our country.Mamdani will do more to expose the Muslim infiltration of America than any single person. He will be the undoing of the Left.The 250th anniversary comes at a cataclysmic time in our history. Leftism had sank its fangs into our culture, and I have highlighted the many examples,Before I explain why we should be happy about what Mamdani did, and bad things are for Democrats because of him, let me give you other news that happened over the weekend.'Over the July 4th weekend, busloads of Somalis were flown from Minneapolis back to their shithole country. And many more will follow.Newsom is in BIG trouble…FBI mole.Pedophilia for them is the norm. And when they are not sexualizing children, they are encouraging their demented mental health with sex changes.If Joe Biden represented anything for Democrats and Leftists, it's that like him, they are happy to be deranged.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Remember the Menendez brothers? Those two charming lads who decided Mom and Dad were worth more dead than alive? Democrats spent years raising their own little Menendez.Now the kids see the parents as the oppressors.If authority is evil, then let's dispatch the first authoritarians. The only way to fix anything was to burn it all down and take the inheritance. Now the “kids” have grown up, they've got the keys, and the parents are the ones triple-locking everything while whispering, “Please don't come for us next.”Democrats have almost no idea who they are anymore. They look at their own reflection and see AOC screaming about Democrat Socialism like it's the Sermon on the Mount, or the next radical firebrand who just knocked off a moderate because he wasn't sufficiently ashamed of America. The party used to be slightly annoying at Thanksgiving, now show up with a bad attitude and 10 days of body odor wonder why nobody wants to sit next to them.The lunacy isn't just “crazy” anymore. It's clinical. These folks don't merely disagree with sanity — they walk right past it, don't recognize it. We used to say they were out of touch. But it's far worse than that.I've seen the stats on how many of these people are under some form of psychiatric care or report serious mental health issues. It's not a little bump. It's a mountain. They're not just sad or anxious — they're zealots. Crazed, True Believer zealots for causes that would make a normal person back away slowly. They treat every policy like it's a religious sacrament, and if you question it, you're not just wrong — you're evil.What do you even call this? Delusional? Sure, but that feels too generous. In psychology there's a term: anosognosia. It's when someone is so deep in their mental illness they literally cannot see it. The brain won't let them recognize their own symptoms. They think the hallucinations are real, the paranoia is justified, and everyone else is the crazy one. Sound familiar? That's the modern Democratic Party in one fancy Greek word. They've got collective anosognosia so advanced they genuinely believe their open-border policies that let murderers and rapists stroll in are “compassionate.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I've seen companies kill products. I've seen politicians kill careers. But watching people try to kneecap the very thing making them relevant? That's an entirely different level of self-sabotage. That's not shooting yourself in the foot. That's hiring a marching band to provide the soundtrack while you do it.For years the league needed that one transcendent star. Somebody who could move ratings, sell jerseys, fill arenas, and get people arguing at Thanksgiving dinner about pick-and-roll defense. Success arrives carrying flowers, and somebody immediately starts looking for the return receipt.It feels like the office finally hires the employee who doubles profits, and management responds by assigning her a desk in the parking lot.If she leaves the WNBA today, she might play in the men's league. For sure, her future is SET.Not that long ago, the WNBA featured some obscure women that nobody knows, refusing to promote their best-known player.Sports aren't unique, either. Politics does the exact same thing, as Democrats are trying with Trump.A politician wins and 30% of the country lose their minds. This despite all his successes.Nobody gets to simply be... good. You're either saving civilization or personally responsible for humidity.We've become a nation where every accomplishment comes with an asterisk and a congressional investigationSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Take this heartbreaking story. A seven-year-old boy died weighing 255 pounds.Seven.Years.Old.Two hundred fifty-five pounds.Folks, that's not "a little chunky." That's not "he's just big-boned." That's not "he'll grow into it."That's a fourth grader who weighed more than the average NFL running back.And somehow...every adult in his orbit found the courage to say absolutely nothing.That's modern progress.We've built a society where people can identify sixteen genders before they can identify child abuse.Think about the insanity of it.If a kid showed up every day with two black eyes, everybody would know something's wrong.If a kid showed up starving, ribs sticking out, CPS would be called before lunch.But if he gains two hundred extra pounds before second grade..."Well...we don't want to fat-shame."Fat-shame?How about parent-shame?Because somewhere along the line we've confused compassion with cowardice.The Left has spent years teaching America that every uncomfortable truth is somehow violence.Don't tell people they're overweight. Don't tell parents they're failing. Don't judge. Don't interfere. Don't question.You do you.That's become the Democratic Party's national anthem.Except here's the problem.Sometimes "you do you" becomes "you bury your kid."This child's weight didn't sneak up on anybody.He didn't wake up on Tuesday and suddenly weigh 255 pounds.Every doctor saw him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And how about the Biden coverup?Joe Biden spoke publicly again, and he didn't disappoint.Yet again, Biden proved to be a buffoon.I'm actually surprised Democrats let this guy out. Remember in 2020 they kept him in the basement so they could steal the election. I predict he will have disappear soon. “Where's my granddaughter!?”At issue are roughly 70 hours of audio recordings captured during conversations for Biden's 2017 memoir, Promise Me, Dad. Biden's legal team argued the recordings include deeply personal discussions, including references to the death of his son Beau and should remain private despite becoming part of a federal investigation.In a May statement, Mike Howell, president of The Heritage Foundation's The Oversight Project, said, per Politico, that the “tapes will further prove the massive lie regarding Biden's fitness for office and the fact Biden revealed classified information.”Democrats don't want us to know what we already know.Think about how absurd that sentence is.They spent years insisting Joe Biden was fine. Sharp. Focused. In command. The media treated every obvious cognitive malfunction as if Americans had accidentally wandered into a mass hallucination.Then came the legal fight over the tapes.And that's the confession.Because nobody fights to suppress evidence that vindicates them.If these recordings showed Biden operating like the strategic mastermind Democrats claimed he was, they'd release them with a commemorative soundtrack and a Netflix special. Instead, they lawyered up faster than a mob accountant during tax season.Why?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy Independence Day, early. I hope you have a wonderful time with family and friends. What a great country we have. God's gift.We have every right to blow our own horn.The good news no matter what the issue is our president. America has a leader.I will credit Kennedy as a leader. Then Reagan. Both these guys changed the trajectory of the presidency.Washington has spent decades running a casino where the house always wins, the games are rigged with ideology, and the customers keep paying for tickets that promise occasional jackpots that never seem to come.Then along comes a guy who looks at the whole operation and asks, “How can this casino be losing money?”That is Donald Trump in a nutshell. He is the political unicorn America did not know it needed until the deficits kept piling up and the same arguments kept circling the drain. In this first segment of our arc on Trump the pragmatist, we zero in on the sheer anomaly of the man himself, the one who treats government like the badly managed enterprise it has become rather than a permanent stage for team colors and emotional theater.Trump saw government the way a builder sees a collapsing structure. Old-school business did not care about your feelings or your donor list. It cared whether the numbers landed in black or bled red. Government, by contrast, has run in permanent red for longer than most voters have been alive, borrowing against tomorrow to fund today's slogans. The result is a system where problems are not solved; they are weaponized for the next election cycle. Career politicians from both aisles perfected the art of keeping issues alive just enough to stay relevant. Trump walked in without that training. He saw a leaky roof and reached for the ladder instead of forming a committee to study the symbolism of the leak.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. Two major SCOTUS decisions on border security today. First, the Court ruled 6-3 that you have to be in the U.S. to make an asylum claim. In the other, the Court again ruled 6-3 that the Trump Administration can revoke temporary protection status from Syrian and Haitian migrants. The three liberal justices tried to argue that you don't actually have to be "in" the U.S. to make an asylum claim, and "temporary" actually means indefinitely. Does the rule of law mean anything to these justices? Could it be that they are radical progressives who don't know right from wrong and want to abolish Constitutional law? Then, most people today don't appreciate the historically great leadership we have or how much has been accomplished in a short time. Since January, he has split off Venezuela from China and disabled the Iranian terror regime and their ability to build nuclear weapons and start World War III. The focus has been on affordability. Consider that 100 years ago, during the Roaring Twenties, people thought things were great. Now, average life expectancy and household income are higher, we have things like indoor plumbing, electricity and A/C, and China has been kneecapped thanks to Trump cutting off their supply of oil. We need to appreciate just how good we have it. Finally, there is a new Cold War...and we're losing. Whoever wins the AI race will be the new superpower. China has excess data center capacity, yet the only thing Americans are more united on in their opposition to data centers is voter ID. China just announced they've built the world's most powerful supercomputer. It's simple: if China out-computes us, they defeat us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
