California's $10 BILLION illegal immigrant healthcare spending meets budget reality—and reality is winning. Watch as Governor 'Podcaster Newsome' desperately backpedals on his virtue-signaling promises while facing a $16 billion deficit that he conveniently blames on Trump's tariffs. We expose how the state that championed 'healthcare for all regardless of status' is now freezing enrollment and implementing premiums for the very people they claimed to protect. Is anyone surprised that giving free healthcare to millions of undocumented immigrants might cost more than expected? As usual, taxpayers foot the bill while politicians scramble to save face.

In a recent development, New York City, once celebrated as a sanctuary city, is facing a financial and logistical crisis. Mayor Eric Adams, previously a staunch supporter, now finds himself at the center of controversy as the city demands migrant shelter landlords cut costs or risk having their leases terminated. The city, grappling with a surging influx of asylum seekers and a bursting budget, is reevaluating its stance. Landlords are being pressured to submit rent reduction proposals amid threats of facility closures and contract annulments. This shift highlights the city's struggle to balance its sanctuary promises with financial realities, sparking a debate over the sustainability of such policies and the broader implications for urban governance and immigration.Support the show

It's been a big news week. On Wednesday, Virginia officials and Monumental Sports announced a region-shaking deal to move the Washington Wizards and Capitals from D.C.'s Capital One Arena to a new complex to be built in Alexandria's Potomac Yard neighborhood by 2028. The announcement left D.C. officials reeling, and some local sports fans happy, others very unhappy. Virginia state Senator and soon-to-be Majority Leader Scott Surovell discusses what the proposed deal could mean for Alexandria and the General Assembly's role in all of this. Metro unveiled its budget earlier this week, proposing massive service cuts as a budget crisis looms. The closing of Metro stations, eliminating bus routes, layoffs, and fare hikes are all on the table if Metro does not receive the additional subsidies from D.C., Maryland, and Virginia it's asking for. General Manager Randy Clarke joins the show to lay out what's needed to avoid the catastrophic cuts. Finally, controversy continues to swirl around the General Services Administration's decision last month to relocate the FBI headquarters to Maryland. This week, a U.S. House hearing was held where an FBI official again questioned the process in which the Greenbelt was chosen. Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks weighs in and explains why she thinks Prince George's County is the right place for the FBI headquarters.

Today we are joined by former Governor of New York, David Paterson. Governor Paterson is an American politician and member of the Democratic Party who was the 55th governor of New York, succeeding Eliot Spitzer and serving out nearly three years of Spitzer's term from March 2008 to the end of 2010 following Spitzer's resignation. Governor Paterson has made history as the first legally blind governor in the nation, and the first African American Governor of New York. I was most interested in having Governor Paterson on the show to discuss his time as governor of New York during the Great recession. He did not disappoint…His candor, storytelling, humor, and openness to technologies like Bitcoin made this one of my favorite conversations. It was also refreshing to hear from a Democratic politician who is open to bitcoin and the ideas it represents as a tool to utilize in the face of a system that, “clearly isn't working” in his words.    Governor David Paterson  Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYGovPaterson55 Website: www.davidpaterson.com Purchase a copy of Governor Paterson's Book “Black Blind & In Charge” https://a.co/d/9ez3WNF  Trey Walsh Nostr: Trey@theprogressivebitcoiner.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/TPBPod    SPONSOR: BitBox: Use promo-code TPB during checkout to get 5% off your purchase: https://bitbox.swiss/tpb  Sazmining: Get $50 off the purchase of a miner using the following link: https://app.sazmining.com/purchase?ref=tpb   Sazmining is a Hosted Bitcoin Mining provider with a commitment to using 100% renewable energy for your mining operation.  A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin: Get a copy of Jason Maier's book “A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin” here, https://bit.ly/3XuEcyV, using promo code TPB for 10% off the book.   TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 Start 00:00:06 Introduction 00:02:04 Bitcoin Basics 00:05:18 Paterson's Background  00:10:12 The Great Recession 00:15:31 New York's Budget Crisis 00:19:27 AIG Bailout 00:23:37 Bitcoin Origins 00:25:33 Education and Progress 00:30:05 Wealth Inequality 00:34:15 Partisan Politics 00:39:10 Crime in New York 00:44:08 Federal vs State Elections 00:49:21 Kennedy Jr. Campaign 00:53:42 Dark Times in U.S. 00:57:31 Bitcoin Solutions 01:13:25 Getting the Word Out 01:19:51 Embracing Change 01:28:57 A Technology of Hope SUBSCRIBE Website: https://zurl.co/z6c8   Libsyn: https://zurl.co/Bkw2  Apple Podcasts: https://zurl.co/WPZg   Spotify: https://zurl.co/Y41f   Amazon: https://zurl.co/io24   Fountain: https://zurl.co/c7bl   RSS: https://zurl.co/wHWC   Youtube: https://zurl.co/VT9p     FOLLOW & SUPPORT Nostr: https://zurl.co/q7qB   Bluesky: https://zurl.co/0w35   Twitter: https://zurl.co/k1ay   Instagram: https://zurl.co/rYZW   Threads: https://zurl.co/KcMx   Facebook: https://zurl.co/Zekf   LinkedIn: https://zurl.co/SGY2   Send Some Sats: https://geyser.fund/project/theprogressivebitcoiner Patreon: https://patreon.com/ProgressiveBitcoiner

Scalise criticizes the current administration's approach, calling for severe proposals and lamenting missed opportunities for negotiation. Larry O'Connor and Ken Cuccinelli, former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security under President Trump, delve into the escalating crisis of illegal immigration under the Biden administration, examining its consequences on national security, economic integrity, and the rule of law. Andrew Wilkow and David Harsanyi, of the Federalist, discuss ethical violations against Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, the Democrats' politicization of the Supreme Court, its use as a 'super-legislature,' and concerns over Democrats prioritizing Roe v. Wade over constitutional amendments. Hugh Hewitt chats with Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, also a 2024 Republican Presidential candidate.
