Podcast appearances and mentions of Brandon Johnson

Story #1: As more comes to light around a horrific murder of a young woman, Iryna Zyrutska, on the Charlotte light rail, Will exposes how decades of soft-on-crime policies, cashless bail, and political deflection from leaders like Lori Lightfoot and Brandon Johnson enable the same offenders to terrorize the same victims and why the national media has buried the story. Story #2: Author of 'Dream School,' Jeff Selingo, joins Will to rethink how parents and students should choose colleges. Instead of chasing Ivy League rejection rates, Selingo lays out what really matters: regional networks, affordable tuition, internships, and professors who mentor students. He reveals surprising “dream schools” where graduates earn just as much as those from elite universities without the crushing debt. Story #3: Will and The Crew dive into Josh Allen's incredible miracle comeback over the Ravens. Plus, a "Karen" berates a father and takes a baseball away from a boy on his birthday at Phillies game.

WBBM political editor Geoff Buchholz reports President Trump and Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson shared competing views on crime in the city.

Share your thoughts and comments by sending me a text messageS.12 E.22 The Democrats have failed to do their jobs, in a city like Chicago. Widespread crimes are severely affecting the lives of the people. The Democrats, who have a history of supporting "Defund the Police" efforts, are not doing what is necessary to combat crimes and to ensure public safety, especially in the Windy City. But there is one leader, President Donald J. Trump, who has the willingness to take action to liberate Chicago by catching criminals. In this episode, I discuss the matter.ABOUT: Tawsif Anam is a nationally published writer, award-winning public policy professional, and speaker.

In collaboration with Petterino’s in downtown Chicago, WGN Radio’s Steve Dale is joined by the Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, for a conversation in their famous Booth 46. It’s not often that Mayor Johnson gets to do fun interviews, but this is definitely one of them. Mayor Johnson talks about what it’s like being the […]

Money is the motivator behind much of "the news" today, starting with political pushback against President Trump's plan to make America safe again. As JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson play Russian roulette with Chicagoans' lives, their resistance to Trump is even seen by democrats as a losing strategy. When you lose David Axelrod.... PLUS some ATF data about the illegal guns seized in Chicago shreds Mayor Johnson's claims that lax red state gun laws have firearms flooding into the Windy City to kill people.

The left's playbook is laid bare in this scathing analysis of political hypocrisy. The transcript dissects the motives behind policies that empty prisons and defund police, arguing that these actions are not about social justice but about political power. It alleges that these strategies, borrowed from communist regimes, are designed to disempower the public by creating a climate of fear and lawlessness. The segment highlights the stark contrast between policies forced upon the public and the actions of a political elite who, like Chicago's mayor Brandon Johnson, protect themselves with massive personal security details while advocating for reduced police presence for the masses. This is not about crime; it's about control, and the transcript presents a chilling argument that the true goal is to strip citizens of their ability to resist a tyrannical government.

This transcript combines three major topics. First, it delves into the COVID-19 vaccine controversy, discussing how Donald Trump's call for an investigation into Operation Warp Speed and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s move to revoke the emergency use authorization reveal an alleged cover-up by big pharma and Dr. Anthony Fauci. The host argues that this is the "scandal of the century" and that the data on vaccine side effects is being hidden. The segment then shifts to a political analysis of crime, where the host challenges the narrative of Democratic mayors like J.B. Pritzker and Brandon Johnson, who blame red states for gun violence. The speaker asserts that crime is a "Democrat problem" and that Trump's actions are aimed at dismantling criminal networks in these cities. Finally, the segment includes an interview with South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson regarding a court ruling on a transgender student's use of a boys' bathroom, highlighting the legal battle to protect children in public spaces and the potential for the case to reach the Supreme Court.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about rising crime in major U.S. cities and society’s growing reluctance to label truly horrific acts as "evil." He highlights examples like JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson's policies in Chicago, crime issues in California, and a recent violent incident on the light rail. Brett also discusses the disappearance of media coverage surrounding a trans shooter in Minneapolis and ties this into broader questions about moral clarity. He strongly criticizes the hesitancy to call individuals like Jeffrey Epstein or mass murderers “evil,” arguing that refusing to use the term dilutes our ability to recognize and confront deeply immoral behavior. We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty from DohertyCoaching.com to talk about the state of UNC football and broader issues of public safety in major U.S. cities. Brett opens the segment with a lighthearted reunion before diving into Monday night’s disappointing football performance, asking Coach Doherty for his take. The coach points to TCU’s talent advantage and the challenges of building a cohesive team with 70 new players. They shift to broader trends in football, including the crossover between college and NFL coaching styles. The conversation then moves into the political, as Brett and Coach Doherty discuss safety concerns in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. Coach Doherty praises recent efforts to improve safety in the capital and criticizes leaders like Pritzker and Johnson for failing to prioritize public safety. He emphasizes that every human’s top priority is to feel safe and applauds Trump’s focus on law and order. We're also joined by Mark Vargas from Illinois Review and Newsmax to talk about the escalating crime crisis in Chicago and the political failures behind it. Mark, described by Brett as a true patriot, sheds light on the alarming violence plaguing the city—highlighting that 58 people were shot and 8 killed over Labor Day weekend alone. He accuses Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson of engaging in a massive political cover-up, prioritizing party loyalty over public safety. Vargas criticizes Johnson’s lack of leadership, noting his 6% approval rating and frequent hospitalizations for panic attacks. He calls out Pritzker’s hypocrisy for deploying the National Guard to protect DNC donors, while refusing to do so for everyday citizens. With 150,000 gang members and only 11,000 police officers, Vargas supports deploying the National Guard as a necessary step. He emphasizes that residents themselves are begging for federal intervention to reclaim their city. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

The only thing J.B. Pritzker refuses to eat are his words as the Second City's crime problem continues to worsen on his watch. Tomi Lahren shakes her head as Democrats like Brandon Johnson and Lori Lightfoot fund every program except tough policing and give a litany of excuses on why they can't clean up their city. Former NYPD Officer John Cardillo joins to break down this crime conundrum. Also, Champagne Socialist Ilhan Omar is caught with her hand in the caviar, and Tomi shares her Final Thoughts.

As for un-American mayors, Brandon Johnson of Chicago is justifying crime as 54 people were shot over Labor Day weekend and 8 of them lost their lives. As Washington D.C. continues to be essentially crime free, Democratic Mayors and Governors are digging their heels in as people are literally losing their lives. As Congress makes a piecemeal the Epstein case together, Roger Stone's book in 2019 has already released all information they need. What will they uncover? The names on the flight list to Epstein's island, like Bill Clinton and Bill Gates are either Democrats or Democratic donors. The democratic mortgage fraud scandal including Adam Schiff, Lisa Cook and Letitia James gets worse as it was discovered she is harboring a fugitive at one of her properties.

Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson swings and misses on MSNBC as Joe Scarborough asks a simple question about crime but never gets an answer: Would more police on the streets help Chicago's exploding crime problem? Mike McCormick joins us live with a White House insider's take on Trump's decision to push the death penalty for murder in DC. Listen as the former White House stenographer also examines a Catholic bishop's alleged role in the scourge of human trafficking.

US-Präsident Donald Trump hat den Aufbau einer spezialisierten Einheit innerhalb der Nationalgarde angeordnet, die zur «Wahrung von Sicherheit und Ordnung» in Washington eingesetzt werden soll. Das Verteidigungsministerium müsse die Truppe umgehend aufstellen, ausbilden und ausrüsten, heisst es in dem Erlass. Zudem sollen landesweit Nationalgardisten für einen schnellen Einsatz gegen «zivile Unruhen» bereitstehen – einschliesslich einer ständig verfügbaren Eingreiftruppe.Trump kündigte gleichzeitig an, die Nationalgarde auch in andere Städte zu entsenden, die von Demokraten regiert werden. Besonders abgesehen hat er es offenbar auf Chicago, eine demokratische Hochburg im Bundesstaat Illinois. Dessen Bürgermeister Brandon Johnson lehnt solche Massnahmen als «undemokratisch und verfassungswidrig» ab. Was bezweckt Donald Trump mit dem Einsatz der Nationalgarde? Geht es tatsächlich um Sicherheit, oder verfolgt der US-Präsident eine politische Agenda? Tina Kempin Reuter, Professorin für Politikwissenschaft, erläutert in der neuen Folge des USA-Podcasts «Alles klar, Amerika?» die unklare rechtliche Basis, auf der Trumps Erlasse zur Nationalgarde beruhen. Und sie berichtet, wie es mit der Kriminalität aussieht in Birmingham, Alabama, ihrer Heimatstadt und weshalb schlechte Quartiere über Jahrzehnte schlecht bleiben. Host: Christof MüngerProduzent: Noah FendAlle Infos zum erwähnten Kombi-Abo-Angebot von Tages-Anzeiger und New York Times: amerika.tagesanzeiger.ch Mehr USA-Berichterstattung finden Sie auf unserer Webseite und in den Apps.

Benson and Melugin also discussed the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was arrested again while awaiting deportation to a tertiary country like Uganda.

Donald Trump is escalating his threat to deploy the National Guard in Democrat-run cities. He's doing it under the guise of cracking down on crime, beginning with Washington DC. New York City, Los Angeles, Baltimore, and Chicago were among the cities singled out. The US President called Chicago a “mess”, and derided its mayor, Brandon Johnson, as “grossly incompetent”. The Illinois Governor, JB Pritzker, is hitting back at Trump, saying it's not about fighting crime but rather finding an excuse to deploy the military and intimidate his political rivals. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that in the past, the National Guard has been temporarily deployed by state governors only, not the federal government, so this is all new.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's crime crackdown expanding beyond Washington, the partisan redistricting war over control of the House, and a major immigration roundup exposing the dangers of open borders. From Baltimore and Chicago to Maryland and the southern border, today's brief shows how law, politics, and security collide in the fight for America's future. Trump Expands Crime Crackdown to Chicago and Baltimore: Over 900 arrests have already been made in Washington, half tied to immigration offenses, and Trump promises deployments next in Chicago and Baltimore. Chicago's socialist mayor Brandon Johnson warned his supporters would “rise up” against Trump, while Maryland's Governor Wes Moore invited Trump to walk Baltimore's streets with him. Trump shot back, “I assume he is talking about the out of control, crime ridden, Baltimore? As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a walk.” Redistricting War and the Future of the Republic: Democrats in Maryland, California, and other blue states push gerrymandering to erase GOP seats, while Republicans in Texas, Florida, and Ohio counter with maps to expand theirs. Experts warn of decades of GOP dominance if trends continue, but as one listener asked, is this a sign America is dying? Bryan argues the Republic envisioned by the Founders “has been dead for over 100 years” and that today's fight amounts to a new civil war of ideas between open-borders leftists and Americans who still cherish the nation's founding principles. Immigration Roundup — Truckers, Deportations, Detention, and Border Security: Trump halts visas for foreign truck drivers after deadly accidents, reversing an Obama-era rule that allowed CDLs without English proficiency. El Salvadoran gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia faces deportation to Uganda after Democrat judges forced his return to the U.S., a case his lawyers call “cruel and bigoted.” ICE detentions hit a record 60,000 with Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan vowing, “We're going to build 100,000 beds… they may slow us up a bit, but they're not going to stop us.” And at the border, a Chinese woman caught with child pornography on her phone highlights why Bryan warns, “Cases like pedophiles or child pornographers should be a slam dunk — they all go back home.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump DC crime crackdown, Chicago National Guard deployment, Baltimore crime Trump Wes Moore, Brandon Johnson rise up quote, U.S. redistricting war 2025, GOP gerrymandering Texas Florida Ohio, Democrat gerrymandering California Maryland, foreign truck driver visa ban, Obama CDL English rule, Kilmar Abrego Garcia deportation Uganda, ICE detention record 60,000, Tom Homan 100,000 beds quote, Alligator Alcatraz detention Florida, Chinese illegal immigrant child pornography Texas

Gavin Newsom isn't worried about California's many problems and instead launches an anti-Trump merch store to the cringe of his constituents. Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson encourages his city to fight back against Trump federalizing the police in the Windy City as Wes Moore enters the running for America's worst governor.

Une loi votée en décembre 2024 autorise à nouveau l'exploitation, l'extraction et la transformation de métaux, revenant ainsi sur la loi de 2017 qui l'interdisait. La lutte de plus de dix ans des défenseurs de l'environnement a été balayée par Nayib Bukele et sa majorité au Parlement. Dans les zones qui pourraient être concernées par cette industrie, l'inquiétude grandit. Les populations locales ont notamment peur que cette industrie les prive d'eau potable et pollue les nappes phréatiques, comme cela a déjà été le cas par le passé. Alice Campaignolle s'est rendue dans le département de Cabañas, au Salvador. En Haïti, les conditions de détention dans certaines prisons sont alarmantes Malnutrition, manque d'eau potable, absence d'heures de pause... Les conditions de vie dans les centres pénitentiaires haïtiens sont déplorables, notamment dans la prison civile de Jacmel, dans le sud-est. À la fin du mois de juillet, près de 14 détenus y sont décédés. L'Institut mobile d'éducation démocratique a récemment publié un rapport accablant sur les prisons en Haïti, incluant celle de Jacmel. Un dossier signé Peterson Luxama, correspondant de RFI à Port-au-Prince. Les forces de l'ordre haïtiennes sont accusées de l'assassinat de deux femmes Dans une tribune écrite par Michel Legros et publiée par Alterpresse, la PNH, la Police national d'Haïti, est accusée d'avoir intercepté, battu et assassiné Morelda et Modeline Louis. Les faits se sont déroulés le 22 août entre la route de l'aéroport et le Carrefour Gérald Bataille. Alors qu'elles allaient chercher leurs enfants, les deux femmes ont été interpellées et contrôlées par une patrouille d'hommes armés, comme cela est désormais courant en Haïti. Le journaliste précise qu'« un drone aurait observé cette scène et alerté un char blindé ». Soupçonnées de connivence avec ces gangs, Morelda et Modeline auraient été interpellées à leur arrivée sur l'autoroute, « battues, torturées, puis livrées à une Toyota de la PNH, non immatriculée, qui les a emmenées pour les exécuter. Disons le mot : pour les assassiner », juge Michel Gros, pour qui « ce drame illustre la terreur et l'impunité dans certaines zones, frappées par la violence des bandits et la cruauté de certains policiers ».  Aux États-Unis, Chicago et Baltimore se lancent dans une guerre ouverte contre Donald Trump Après Washington DC, les deux villes démocrates s'opposent fermement à l'envoi de troupes de la garde nationale sur leur sol, comme annoncé par le président américain.  Ce week-end, le Washington Post a révélé que le Pentagone planifiait depuis des semaines un déploiement militaire à Chicago, et ce, dès le mois de septembre, au nom de la lutte contre la criminalité, l'immigration et le sans-abrisme. Le quotidien rapporte les propos du président américain : « Chicago est un vrai désastre. Vous avez un maire incompétent. » La réaction du maire de la troisième ville la plus peuplée des États-Unis ne s'est pas fait attendre. Cité par le Chicago Sun Times, Brandon Johnson a déclaré qu'il évaluait « toutes les options juridiques possibles pour protéger les habitants de Chicago d'une intervention fédérale inconstitutionnelle ». Pour le procureur général de l'Illinois, Kwame Raoul, la menace de Trump est « hypocrite et performative », surtout au vu des récentes baisses de budgets pour lutter contre la violence. Le Washington Post constate les mêmes tensions entre Trump et le gouverneur du Maryland Le président américain a déclaré son réseau Truth Social que Baltimore était « hors de contrôle » et « ravagée par la criminalité ». Le gouverneur Wes Moore lui a rétorqué dimanche, sur CBS News, qu'il n'autoriserait pas l'intervention de la Garde nationale, une intervention qualifiée ici aussi d'« inconstitutionnelle ».

Le Premier ministre canadien s'exprimait lors d'une cérémonie sur la place Sophia à Kiev pour la fête de l'Indépendance ukrainienne. La Presse décrit une rencontre avec Volodymyr Zelensky dans « une atmosphère solennelle ». Dans son discours, le Premier ministre canadien a déclaré ne pas exclure l'envoi de troupes canadiennes « pour garantir la sécurité de l'Ukraine contre l'agression russe en cas d'accord de paix », rajoutant que « Vladimir Poutine ne peut jamais être digne de confiance ». Le Globe and Mail revient sur les détails des 2 milliards de dollars promis lors du sommet du G7 en Alberta, en juin. Cet argent va financer l'achat et la fabrication de drones, munitions et véhicules blindés, mais aussi l'aide médicale d'urgence, l'hébergement et la lutte contre les attaques numériques.  SpaceX a dû annuler in extremis un vol test de sa méga fusée Starship dimanche soir  Ce serait dû à un problème avec les systèmes au sol, c'est ce qu'a annoncé SpaceX sur X. « Il faudra donc patienter encore un peu avant de voir le 10e vol d'essai de la méga fusée Starship », résume Space.com. « Starship est la fusée la plus grande et la plus puissante jamais construite », détaille le média spécialisé. Elle mesure plus de 122 mètres de haut une fois complètement chargée. C'est la « pièce maîtresse de la vision d'Elon Musk pour envoyer les premiers humains sur Mars, dès 2026, selon USA Today. Elle est également essentielle aux plans de la NASA visant à renvoyer des astronautes sur la lune », dès 2027. Une date « irréaliste, voire impossible à respecter », considère CBS News, surtout après les « trois échecs » de cette année, qualifiés de « catastrophiques » par la chaîne de télévision américaine. SpaceX a annoncé qu'une nouvelle fenêtre de lancement s'ouvrirait ce lundi soir à 19h30 heure locale.

Share your thoughts and comments by sending me a text messageS.12 S.17 It is being widely speculated that President Donald J. Trump may deploy the National Guard in Chicago. The Democrats are not happy about it. Is it necessary to deploy the National Guard in the Windy City? Will President Trump decide to do so? And why are the Illinois Democrats so upset? In this episode, I discuss this matter.ABOUT: Tawsif Anam is a nationally published writer, award-winning public policy professional, and speaker.

WBBM political editor Geoff Buchholz reports Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson is confident the Board of Education will approve a budget that reflects what he calls "his values."

Once upon a time, it was very easy for the American left to determine progress. The working class was good, the traditional left knew, and so progress meant embracing the economic and cultural interests of that class. Today, however, in our age of authoritarian populism in which part, at least, of the (white) working class appears nostalgic for the economics and culture of industrial America, things aren't quite as self-evident. As both David Masciotra and Soli Ozel note, then, this leftist dilemma is that of nostalgia versus progress. This tension, these progressive thinkers note, is exemplified in the work of the American sociologist Christopher Lasch, which simultaneously critiques elite betrayal while romanticizing traditionally male and even religious working-class virtues that may never have really existed. It's the Lasch paradox. Contemporary progressives face an uncomfortable reality: delivering material benefits—whether healthcare, jobs, or infrastructure—doesn't automatically translate into electoral support or, dare I say it, the strengthening of democratic values. The puzzle deepens, Ozel and Masciotra agree, when considering that Trump's base includes not just struggling communities but also affluent exurban voters. Perhaps the real challenge isn't choosing between nostalgia and progress, but reimagining what progress means in a post-industrial capitalist society where traditional class-based politics no longer provide clear moral or strategic guidance for building the kind of sustainable democratic coalitions created by progressive Presidents from FDR to Obama. 1. The Lasch Paradox: Accurate Diagnosis, Flawed Prescription Christopher Lasch correctly identified elite failure and betrayal of democratic institutions, but his romanticization of working-class civic virtue ignored the reality of racism, sexism, and authoritarianism within those communities.2. Material Benefits ≠ Political Loyalty Progressive policies that demonstrably improve people's lives—from Obamacare to renewable energy investments—don't automatically translate into electoral support, challenging traditional left assumptions about economic determinism.3. Trump's Base Is More Complex Than "Economic Anxiety" Significant portions of Trump supporters are middle-to-upper-middle class exurban voters, not just struggling working-class communities, complicating narratives about purely economic motivations for populist support.4. Corporate Capital's Role in Democratic Erosion Major corporations and tech leaders, despite initial opposition to Trump, ultimately supported his return through funding and institutional backing, demonstrating how economic interests can override stated democratic values.5. The Progressive Coalition Crisis The left faces a fundamental challenge: how to build sustainable democratic coalitions when traditional class-based politics no longer provide clear guidance, and when moral righteousness often alienates potential allies while failing to win elections.Some post show thoughts from David Masciotra: Now that I had more time to think about it, I would add the following about Mamdani: I am disturbed by the allegations of antisemitism, and some of the inconsistencies in his moral positions (he condemns politicians who visit Israel, but enjoys time at his family's residence in Uganda, a country that executes gays). As Soli suggested, let's leave that aside. While I support the programs that Soli highlighted - free bus rides, creative solutions to food deserts - the DSA agenda has failed in other cities. For example, Chicago has its own version of Mamdani right now - Brandon Johnson. His approval rating is around 20 percent, because he hasn't delivered on the economic promises, but he has introduced eccentric ideas for fighting crime, to put it mildly, and implemented some unhelpful policies in the school system. The city council in LA is dominated by DSA members. They've also failed miserably. I would like to see a return of the "sewer socialism" of Milwaukee progressives from the early 20th century. They were very practical - improving the sewer system, creating vast public parks, expanding public health and public education services. In Chicago and LA, the DSA pairs its rational and helpful economic agenda with ideological excess that, invariably, creates dysfunction and alienates voters.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.
