In this explosive episode, we connect the dots between domestic chaos, cartel operations, and international hostage deals. From alleged FBI partnerships with the Sinaloa cartel to threats against Americans and border agents, we analyze how policy, politics, and enforcement intersect with real-world violence. We also examine the controversial Middle East hostage swap, exploring why the release of over 1,700 Hamas operatives could have dire consequences despite the recovery of hostages. With insights into U.S. military positioning, election politics, and federal law enforcement history, this episode breaks down the stakes for America and the world. Expect a deep dive into: cartel influence in the U.S., border security, political narratives, election fears, and the implications of international peace deals gone wrong.

In this episode, we dive into the controversy over federal agents in Chicago, unpacking decades of ICE, CBP, and INS operations, and exposing the myths spread by politicians and media about “militarization” of American cities. From Newt Gingrich's historical perspective on the National Guard to accusations of ballot box seizure schemes, we analyze what's real, what's spun, and what it means for law enforcement and elections. Listeners will hear how long federal immigration authorities have actually been operating in Chicago, why claims of deranged Trump-led troop deployments are misleading, and how political narratives are shaping public fear. This episode cuts through the rhetoric to show the difference between historical precedent and today's election-related panic.

It's the “Shutdown Showdown,” starring President Trump in the role only he could make iconic: The guy who can freeze more taxpayer money than Elsa in ‘Frozen.' Democrats threaten to “shut down” the government, and Trump's response? “That's cute, watch this.” When Trump froze $2.1 billion for Chicago because of DEI non-compliance, even Brandon Johnson had to find a white man to read him the fine print. Meanwhile, California burns $6.5 billion a year on healthcare for illegals, but the moment Trump tightens the purse strings, they act like he's stolen all the Girl Scout cookies in Sacramento.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

CannCon and Ghost dive headfirst into a high-octane morning covering FBI corruption, government surveillance, and the unraveling of Chicago's “ice-free zones.” The duo exposes how Jack Smith's Arctic Frost investigation swept up sitting senators, debates AT&T's false data deletion claims, and dissects Israel's Pegasus spyware. They draw parallels between historical CIA operations and modern domestic tactics, connecting the dots between cartels, trafficking, and Marxist infiltration in American institutions. As Trump considers invoking the Insurrection Act to restore law and order, CannCon and Ghost weigh the fine line between national security and authoritarian precedent. The conversation hits on the Chicago gang leader's bounty for ICE agents, FISA court corruption, and Brandon Johnson's escalating defiance against federal law—all with the trademark Badlands mix of humor, candor, and geopolitical fire.

NEWS TOPICS: Charlie Kirk Cancel Culture Brandon Johnson Ilhan Omar Coffee Talk with David Eon (LIVE WEEKDAY DAILY NEWS TALK) for Wednesday, September 17th, 2025

//The Wire//2300Z September 18, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: TRUMP STATES INTENT TO CLASSIFY ANTIFA AS TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. CHICAGO MAYOR LAMENTS IMPENDING NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Illinois: Statements by local mayor Brandon Johnson have continued to escalate as the National Guard deployment to Chicago draws near. Johnson stated that “Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities”, and that he intends to "eradicate" this "sickness".Analyst Comment: It is often a hard sell to convince the public that putting violent criminals in prison is against the best interests of the taxpayer, but Johnson continues to make that argument nonetheless. Right now there is no real confirmation of how the National Guard QRF is to be deployed around the city, though city and state opposition has been high.California: Following yesterday's statements by the FCC Chairman, the ABC network has pulled the Jimmy Kimmel show from it's timeslot indefinitely.Analyst Comment: The network does not care about the crass statements that were made, as it encouraged this behavior for many years. However, getting their license yanked at a time where their ratings are already down would not have been a positive outcome for them.Washington D.C. - Yesterday evening President Trump stated his intent to designate ANTIFA as a terrorist organization on social media.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Beyond President Trump's short post on social media, no details have been provided on this designation yet, or how it's going to work out paperwork-wise. ANTIFA certainly has foreign roots, but in most cases is not explicitly foreign-controlled, so a designation by the State Department as being an FTO might not be an adequate fit. Nevertheless, if the intent is to create a label that ensures more federal charges can be pursued against militants (instead of the catch-and-release that ANTIFA is used to), there are plenty of options. The White House is probably also looking at RICO options regarding the bail-fund practices for ANTIFA members, which have industrialized the process of rotating through the court system.More directly, ANTIFA activities are certain to increase due to this designation, whatever it works out to be. Low-level demonstrations are certain to take place in the usual areas, and more kinetic "Direct Action" attacks are also quite likely to spring up, though larger efforts may take some time to organize. Either way, ANTIFA can certainly mobilize faster than government forces can respond in most cases, though the biggest barriers to ANTIFA operations right now are funding and a lack of coherent picture at higher levels of organization. For many years, ANTIFA has had no natural predators in their environment, and has been allowed to conduct all manner of activities without any sort of barriers at all. Designating this group as a terrorist organization also isn't really necessary; almost all ANTIFA publications directly state that they seek to use violence to further their political goals...which is the textbook definition of terrorism. Where a federal "terrorism" label (however it works out) can be applied, is in cases where local prosecutors won't prosecute terrorist attacks, or more importantly, in the dismantling of the financial networks which have openly been operating under shady LLCs and nonprofit groups, which have acted as shell corporations for ANTIFA funding sources. This still requires federal agencies and prosecutors to *actually prosecute* under the current laws that exist, which is still a bridge too far in most jurisdictions.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

On this episode of The Show with Quinn, I sit down with Brandon, the owner of Surge Pest Control in Austin, TX. Brandon shares his journey from growing up in Atlanta, graduating from BYU-Idaho, and spending six years at Aptive before launching his own company with two partners. Beyond business, he opens up about family life—marrying his best friend Jorjia, raising his little boy Hayes, and preparing to welcome a second son. Together, we dive into the idea that in life, there's no finish line. We talk candidly about fatherhood for the first time, the challenges and rewards that come with building both a business and a family, and the ups and downs that shape us along the way. This conversation is real, raw, and full of lessons about embracing the journey.Follow Brandon on insta

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.

President Trump reimagines the White House's rose garden and turns it into the Rose Garden Club. With beautiful limestone flooring and outdoor seating, the space has been beautifully transformed and excellent for hosting and entertaining guests. The Department of Defense also got a rebranding and is now the Department of War. Letting it be known that the warfighter ethos is alive and well within the Pentagon. As JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson play politics with people's lives and safety in Chicago, President Trump is proving he is a man of the people. Looking above and beyond political boundaries, President Trump is willing and ready to send in the National Guard to Chicago. He wants to see the people of Chicago safe and flourishing. Unbelievably so, the Governor of Illinois JB Pritzker is threatening the president with a lawsuit should he federalize troops and send them to Chicago. One man that knows alot about Chicago is former Governor Rod Blagojevich. The 40th Governor of Illinois is with me today to discuss exactly what life in Chicago is like in the various neighborhoods and how Black Lives Matter only matter when it scores Democrats political points.

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.

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
