In this week's podcast, the Center for Immigration Studies highlights the expansion of work authorization for newly arrived migrants and those who have entered the country illegally. Work permits are an often-ignored part of the discussion on immigration policy but are a major pull factor for immigrants looking to come to the United States illegally.In this episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, Elizabeth Jacobs, the Center's Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy, explains the importance of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) and sheds light on how the Biden administration has exploited loopholes in immigration law to prioritize the issuances of EADs to migrants over visa holders.Jacobs also breaks down the recent Biden administration reforms which are aimed to expand work authorization eligibility even further, strengthening the job magnet that attracts illegal immigration. DHS has announced it will:start issuing EADs to migrants who are paroled into the United States that will be valid for five years, a three-year increase to current policy;renew the Temporary Protective Status (TPS) of Venezuelan nationals who arrived by March 8, 2021;extend TPS eligibility to Venezuelan migrants who arrived by July, 31, 2023 (an estimated 472,000 will be newly eligible, potentially bringing the population to over 700,000 individuals);accelerate applications for work permits filed by parolees who scheduled their entry through the CBP One app starting October 1, 2023. They will be prioritized over other categories, raising serious questions of policy and fairness.Mark Krikorian, the Center's Executive Director and host of the podcast, points out, “Work permits root individuals into American society in a way that working illegally does not. It provides access to Social Security numbers and driver's licenses, serving as a significant step toward a full amnesty. The Biden administration's large-scale expansion of work authorization for those who enter the country illegally deserves more attention from the media and Congress.”HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestElizabeth Jacobs is the Director of Regulatory Affairs at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedWork Authorization Expansion Is the Problem — Not the Solution to Cities' Migrant IssuesUSCIS Ombudsman Confirms: Biden Policies Hobble Legal Immigration SystemCitizenship and Immigration Services Annual Report 2023DHS Creates Yet Another Parole Program for Aliens to Cut in LineFollowFollow Parsing Immigration Policy on Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

This week, our journey with the former governor of Illinois comes to an end. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened!! In this episode, we dive into our favorite crimes he committed and interview Rod's attorney, Sam Adam Jr. We can all agree Rod's accomplished quite a lot throughout his life. We wrap up his story by hitting some of the highlights talking through his trials, from attempting to sell a Senate seat and getting caught in extortion schemes. But much like a phoenix, he rose from the ashes after Trump commuted his prison sentence and then naturally, became a podcast host. At the end of the day Rod just wanted illegal campaign contributions like everyone else and to be adored by the people of Illinois, is that so bad?!Follow The Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/Follow the Hosts: https://twitter.com/seenanowhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQwl8sDTVEAxhwJdYgm-yrgIntro Music Credit and Sound Fx:https://twitter.com/gograntgordonSeason Cover Art by:https://comedyartwork.com/Media Links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JquRjP9UoAshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tB0KhxGvGghttps://open.spotify.com/episode/3ndqgRy3l1FkvIKQXtcSRI?si=77c3e34baf8c41b6 

In 1777, Congress labeled Quakers who would not take up arms in support of the War of Independence as "the most Dangerous Enemies America knows" and ordered Pennsylvania and Delaware to apprehend them. In response, Keystone State officials sent twenty men-seventeen of whom were Quakers-into exile, banishing them to Virginia, where they were held for a year. pcntv.com/donate pcntv.com/membership-signup pcntv.com

This week's podcast is a rebroadcast of the September 14 House Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement hearing entitled, “Terrorist Entry Through the Southwest Border.” The hearing examined, “the national security implications of the Department of Homeland Security's open-borders agenda, including how the Biden Administration's policies have led to record-high encounters of aliens on the Terrorist Watchlist as well as the mass release of unvetted aliens into U.S. communities.”Todd Bensman, the Center's Senior National Security Fellow, gave testimony first. In it, he explains how the current immigration crisis at the southwest border has elevated and exacerbated the homeland security threat of terrorist border infiltration to discomfiting levels.Two other witnesses used their first hand experience in law enforcement in their testimony: Charles Marino, Former Senior Law Enforcement Advisor, U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Rodney Scott, Distinguished Senior Fellow for Border Security, Texas Public Policy Foundation.Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director and host of Parsing Immigration Policy, moderates this rebroadcast of the Center's panel.In his closing commentary, Krikorian discusses a new report by Todd Bensman entitled, “New Records: Biden DHS Has Approved Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants for Secretive Foreign Flights Directly into U.S. Airports.” This report uses DHS data, gained through the Freedom of Information Act, on the controversial new rechanneling program, which uses the CBP One app to allow migrants to take commercial passenger flights from foreign countries straight to their American cities of choice.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestTodd Bensman is a Senior National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedHearing Video and Written TestimonyNew Records: Biden DHS Has Approved Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants for Secretive Foreign Flights Directly into U.S. AirportsFollowFollow Parsing Immigration Policy on Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Decoding the Cable Revolution: How 24/7 Politics Shaped a Generation and Our Democracy with Kathryn Cramer Brownell The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome back to another episode of The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and we're broadcasting from just outside of Washington, D.C. Please check out our show notes today for more information about Smithsonian Associates and their wonderful programs.  The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series is dedicated to fostering thoughtful dialogues on subjects that matter. Today, we have a special guest, Smithsonian Associate Dr. Kathryn Cramer Brownell, an associate professor of history at Purdue University. She's here to discuss her new book, "24/7 Politics: Cable Television and the Fragmenting of America from Watergate to Fox News." Dr. Kathryn Cramer Brownell will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, so please check out our show notes today for specifics on Dr. Brownell's presentation titled: "24/7 Politics: Cable Television and the Fragmenting of America from Watergate to Fox News." As television began to overtake the political landscape in the 1960s, network broadcast companies, bolstered by powerful lobbying interests, dominated screens across the nation. Yet over the next three decades, the expansion of a different technology, cable, changed all of this. Drawing on her new book, 24/7 Politics: Cable Television and the Fragmenting of America from Watergate to Fox News, Kathryn Cramer Brownell tells the story of how the cable industry worked with political leaders to create an entirely new approach to television, one that tethered politics to profits and divided and distracted Americans by feeding their appetite for entertainment—frequently at the expense of fostering responsible citizenship. Dr. Kathryn Cramer Brownell argues today that cable television itself is not to blame for today's rampant polarization and scandal politics: It's the intentional restructuring of television as a political institution. She describes how cable innovations—from C-SPAN coverage of congressional debates in the 1980s to MTV's foray into presidential politics in the 1990s—took on network broadcasting using market forces, giving rise to a more decentralized media world. Brownell reveals to us how cable became an unstoppable medium for political communication that prioritized cult followings and loyalty to individual brands, fundamentally reshaped party politics, and, in the process, sowed the seeds of democratic upheaval. She also examines how cable created new possibilities for antiestablishment voices and opened a pathway to political prominence for seemingly unlikely figures like Donald Trump by playing to narrow audiences and cultivating division instead of common ground, but how people became tools to cable networks! That, of course, is our guest today, Smithsonian Associate Dr. Kathryn Cramer Brownell, reading from her new book, 24/7 Politics: Cable Television and the Fragmenting of America from Watergate to Fox News. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast Dr. Kathryn Cramer Brownell. My thanks to Dr. Kathryn Cramer Brownell for joining today's show.

On this episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, we are joined by Sheriff Mark Dannels of Cochise County, Ariz., and Andrew Arthur, Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies. Cochise County is located along Arizona's southeastern border with Mexico, and Sheriff Dannels and his colleagues have had to deal with the border crisis firsthand. This week's topic is a rather grim one – the deaths of illegal immigrants at the border.Both guests recently testified at a joint House subcommittee hearing in Arizona on the effects of the border crisis on American communities and explain on the podcast how the level of security at the border under the Biden administration has never been lower, which is luring more migrants to put themselves in harm's way by hiring smugglers to bring them to the United States.Sheriff Dannels describes the inhumane conditions migrants find themselves in when they make the illegal journey to the United States, comparing the agreements they make with smugglers to “modern-day slavery”. Arthur explains that so long as migrants believe they'll be allowed to enter illegally, they will hire smugglers to bring them to the country. Due to the Biden administration's “catch-and-release” policies, migrants are more willing than ever to place their lives in the hands of dangerous and rapacious criminals who are only interested in money—often with the deadliest of consequences.In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies and host of the Parsing Immigration Policy, speculates that the litigation over the thousand-foot long marine barrier on the Rio Grande placed by Texas Gov. Abbott may reach the Supreme Court, allowing the justices to rule on whether the border crisis caused by the current administration constitutes an “invasion” under the Constitution.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestMark Dannels is Sheriff of Cochise County, AZ.RelatedScorching Heat Is Contributing to Migrant DeathsSearch and Rescue Stats Highlight Humanitarian Disaster at the BorderFifth Circuit Grants Stay in Texas Rio Grande Barrier CaseFollowFollow Parsing Immigration Policy on Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

This week we begin our journey covering the one and only, Rod Blagojevich. Rod is the epitome of the American Dream– the son of Yugoslavian immigrants, he came from humble beginnings, shining shoes, delivering pizza, working as a… bookie. He worked himself all the way up to Congress and the story does not stop there! He ran for Governor of Illinois and won on an anti-corruption platform. Spoiler alert: he was corrupt!!! Rod was on the up and up, sneaking in bits of corruption here and there, that is until he tried to sell then-President-elect Barack Obama's Senate seat. He flew too close to the sun and can you blame him?! There's so much more to the story and it only gets better (worse) from here!! Follow The Show:Twitter: https://twitter.com/fraudstersLPNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fraudsterslpn/Discord: https://discord.gg/WRZ8zgusPTWebsite: https://fraudsters.fm/ Follow the Hosts: https://twitter.com/seenanowhttps://www.instagram.com/justin_williams_comedyhttps://twitter.com/arielleaty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQwl8sDTVEAxhwJdYgm-yrgIntroMusic Credit and Sound Fx:https://twitter.com/gograntgordonSeason Cover Art by:https://comedyartwork.com/ Media Links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qre7DzEtxyc&t=50shttps://www.c-span.org/video/?74609-1/democratic-convention-afternoon-sessionhttps://www.c-span.org/video/?74883-1/illinois-5th-districthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T_Scmgc6Q0&t=103shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo29Q3gfJnQ&t=84shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V03szmwwCBg&t=1shttps://www.c-span.org/video/?174596-1/illinois-gubernatorial-inauguralhttps://www.c-span.org/video/?298903-1/david-axelrod-conversation-james-warrenhttps://www.c-span.org/video/?194711-1/illinois-gubernatorial-debatehttps://www.wbez.org/shows/public-official-a/09be1fbf-e991-4627-88ed-0004c94b48f6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOKg9pbHIpY&t=87shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANe8f1ElZFs

CNN, the most distrusted name in fake news, is openly admitting that Democrats are panicked over Biden; they're seeing the polls, and his polls just keep going down and down and down and there appears to be no recovery in sight, and we're going to see exactly why Biden's reelection hopes are collapsing by the day!   Highlights:  “There's just one problem, Biden himself claimed in his book that he was in DC at the time! C-SPAN's records concur and corroborate that account; Biden was not in New York the day after the attacks! He just blatantly lied!” “This is beyond repair; this is a presidency that is in tatters; when a super-majority of voters thinks you're too old and too senile to be president, your days are done! You're not getting reelected! It was an utterly devastating poll for Biden!” “Biden is too old, he's too senile, and he's too out of touch, too far removed from the Democrats' traditional non-white constituency; in short, Biden is politically imploding right before our very eyes, and the legacy media is admitting it!” Timestamps: [00:49] CNN panicked over Biden [06:48] Reasons why Biden is losing [10:02] The non-white working class are defecting away from Biden Resources:  Learn how to protect your life savings from inflation and an irresponsible government, with Gold and Silver.

"The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too." That was Vivek Ramaswamy during the recent Republican presidential candidates debate - on Fox. Oh wait -- no it wasn't -- that wasn't Vivek Ramaswamy at all. Let's try that again. That was Barack Obama, delivering the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention - on C-SPAN. Many observers said Vivek Ramaswamy sounded a lot like Barack Obama when he said during the Fox debate: "Who the heck is this skinny guy with a funny last name." Everyone singled out future president Obama's 2004 keynote speech for the comparison ... but there were other times Barack Obama said he was a skinny kid with a funny name ... and so have other candidates. As you'll hear in the latest episode of C-SPAN's "The Weekly" -- it's a podcast all about skinny kids with funny names who grew up to be politicians.   Find C-SPAN's "The Weekly" wherever you get podcasts.

In an episode that cuts straight to the soul, this week's guest Andrea Gibson joins Ayana in a conversation that asks what it means to truly live. Andrea contemplates the ways we cope with loneliness and the deeply rooted societal fears of disconnection and of death. Facing fear, confusion, and loss head on, Andrea reminds us that healing is a return to the self, a return to community. Andrea's openness about their diagnosis and emotional journey, brings depth and emotion to the conversation. Through poem and spirituality, Andrea draws us to see the beauty in being alive in this particular life, in our particular bodies, at this particular time. Their presence and attention is life-giving. As Andrea shares their journey connecting to the eternal, genderless “We,” they invite listeners to contemplate their identities beyond this life alone. As we let the need to know fall away, what miracles might reveal themselves to us? Andrea Gibson is one of the most celebrated and influential spoken word poets of our time. Best known for their live performances, Gibson has changed the landscape of what it means to attend a “poetry show” altogether. To hear Gibson is like hearing songwriters play their music, their trademark honesty and vulnerability are on full display. Gibson's poems center around LGBTQ issues, gender, feminism, mental health and the dismantling of oppressive social systems. The winner of the first Women's World Poetry Slam, Gibson has gone on to be awarded the LGBTQ Out100 and has been featured on BBC, NPR and CSpan. Gibson is the author of seven award winning books and seven full length albums. Their live shows have become loving and supportive ecosystems for audiences to feel seen, heard, and held through Gibson's art.Music by John Carrol Kirby (generously provided by Patience Records),  Kesia Negata, and Katie Gray.

Do teachers have a front row seat to America's decline? Jeremy Adams, a History and Social Studies teacher at both the high school and college levels, thinks so.Jeremy Adams has spent decades trying to instill wisdom, ambition, and a love of learning in his students. And yet, as he notes, when teachers get together, they often share an arresting conclusion: Something has gone terribly wrong. Something essential is missing in our young people. Their curiosity seems stunted, their reason undeveloped, their values uninformed, their knowledge lacking, and most worrying of all, their humanity diminished.Educators like Jeremy see a generation slipping away. The problems that have hollowed out our young people have been festering for years. A year of COVID-19 lockdowns and social distancing have magnified them. The result could be a generation—and our nation's future—lost in a miasma of alienation and stupefaction.In his 2021 book Hollowed Out, Jeremy reveals why students have rejected wisdom, culture, and institutions of Western civilization—and what we can do to win them back. Jeremy Adams is a high school and University teacher living in Bakersfield, California. He and his writing have appeared in Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, The Washington Times, New Discourses, C-Span, The DailyCaller, The American Mind, and numerous national education podcasts. He has won numerous accolades for his teaching and writing efforts including the 2014 California State Teacher of the Year Award (Daughters of the American Revolution) and was a 2013 semi-finalist for the California Department of Education's California Teacher of the Year Award.

"When we were vacationing on Martha's Vineyard on two different occasions we went sailing off Martha's Vineyard, and James Taylor was a member of the crew. It wasn't such a great thing watching him work the ropes and the sails , although that was truly impressive -- though when we go to a calm sea-- he sang for us. And the stars were out, there was a moon out, and the water calm. It was something that none of us will ever forget."     Ah, summertime on Martha's Vineyard… Just as President Bill Clinton remembered – in 1997.   When he was president, Bill Clinton and his family often went to Martha's Vineyard for summer vacations.   What are family memories from those trips? Who did they meet? What did others say about being with the Clintons on Martha Vineyard? Which terrorist did President Clinton launch a strike against while on vacation on Martha's Vineyard? And where did other Presidents go on vacations – and what did they say about vacations?   Find out in the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly." Learn more about your ad choices.

"It is great to be here. Honestly. It's so great to be out of the tough backbiting world of Hollywood and into the benign and polite world of New York book publishing."     That was comedian Steve Martin, appearing on a book panel on BookTV on September 27, 1998... It was just two weeks after BookTV started on C-SPAN, 25 years ago -- and it was one of the earliest programs seen on BookTV.   Steve Martin made four more appearances on BookTV -- all hosting the National Book Awards..   Decades later, Steve Martin is now co-starring in the hit streaming series "Only Murders in the Building."     We'd like to think we gave him his big break.   Even if that's not entirely true... here's something that is: If you like Steve Martin, you'll love the latest episode of C-SPAN's "The Weekly"...

Congress created the first guestworker programs to fill labor shortages on a temporary basis, without displacing American workers or abusing the foreign workers.Over time, the programs have multiplied and expanded, such that now close to a million people a year are imported for both less-skilled and professional-level jobs. American workers are, in fact, displaced, the “temporary” foreign workers often stay permanently, and are often exploited. Is it possible for guestworker programs to work as Congress intended?In this week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, David North, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, joins host Mark Krikorian, North's experience with the foreign worker issue dates back to the Eisenhower administration. He says the primary question regarding guestworker policies is whether government policy should make it easier for employers to meet their labor needs by importing labor from outside the U.S.The easiest solution would be for Congress to abolish some or all guestworker programs. Noting that this is unlikely to occur, North and Krikorian discuss whether lawmakers have prioritized the guestworker issue sufficiently to ensure that reforms that would guarantee fairness to American workers, such as requiring employers to make a positive effort to hire American workers before recruiting foreign labor. North suggests reforms that would improve the chances that Americans are not pushed out of the workforce, foreign workers are not abused, and the programs are genuinely temporary.In his closing commentary, Krikorian highlights a new report from the Center relevant to the foreign-worker debate. “Working-Age, but Not Working” examines the long-term decline of U.S.-born, working-age men in the labor force, particularly among those without a bachelor's degree. This large population of U.S.-born individuals on the sidelines of the labor market contributes to a host of social problems, but the availability of cheap immigrant labor allows employers, and society at large, to ignore their plight and not invest in bringing them into the labor market.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestDavid North is a Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedWorking-Age, but Not WorkingFollowFollow Parsing Immigration Policy on YouTube, Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

We are two years since the greatest national humiliation since the Fall of Saigon almost half a century ago.The negotiated surrender of Afghanistan to the Taliban, retreat to Kabul, and withdraw from Kabul under the grace of our enemy in the summer of 2021 remains a mostly untold story. Partially is it from the attention given to the Russo-Ukrainian War that started six months later, but it seems more a byproduct of disinterest by most of our press who seem to want to discuss almost anything else.Not any more.

What do the Kennedy assassination, the Martin Luther King assassination, and the Iraq War all have in common? Maybe nothing. Or maybe they were all orchestrated by a shadow government that has quietly taken over the United States. In this bonus episode, Dan delves into the realm of conspiracy theory and asks whether everything we thought we knew about US history since 1960 was wrong. CONTENT WARNING: This episode gets political, and Dan also talks about conspiracy theories.

A new government report confirms that the Biden administration's policies accommodating illegal immigration are harming the legal immigration system.On this week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, Elizabeth Jacobs, the Center for Immigration Studies director of regulatory affairs and policy, joins host Mark Krikorian to discuss the findings and implications of a congressionally mandated annual report from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman, an independent office within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).USCIS administers the nation's lawful immigration system, and Jacobs (a former USCIS official) explains how its mission has been threatened by the administration's determined efforts to bring inadmissible aliens to the United States as quickly as possible and expand work authorization opportunities for aliens who lack a lawful immigration status.The discussion delves into the effects of key policies, including misuse of parole and expansion of Temporary Protected Status (TPS).Jacobs underscores the need for adherence to congressional mandates: “If USCIS leadership is serious about bolstering the legal immigration system and maintaining reasonable processing times for immigration services, it has to focus its resources on programs that have been authorized by Congress – it cannot keep creating programs that are not authorized.”In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, host of the podcast and executive director of the Center, discusses a new Biden administration tactic in its fight to force Texas to remove the marine barriers it has placed in the Rio Grande – specifically, cynical administration claims that the barriers are endangering a mussel species in the Rio Grande.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestElizabeth Jacobs is the Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedUSCIS Ombudsman Confirms: Biden Policies Hobble Legal Immigration System; Report shows how inadmissible aliens are often prioritized over lawful visa holdersA Cynical Shell Game; The Biden administration's sudden concern for the Rio Grande's Mexican fawnsfoot musselVideo: Todd Bensman Explains Trash Field Left by Illegal Entrants on the Rio Grande RiverbankFollowFollow Parsing Immigration Policy on YouTube, Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

BRIGADIER GENERAL PAT RYDER: "All right, let me do one more from the phone here. Jeff Schogol, Task & Purpose. JEFF SCHOGOL: "Thank you.
