Ep. 397 In Episode 397, Ken and Dave discuss MTG on the outs, property tax elimination, Savannah getting smacked down, pennies for your thoughts, nudes on an airplane, and creeps on a list. DC Trip and Government Events Dave traveled to Washington D.C. during the government shutdown, observing that the city and nightlife were notably quiet. He received a personalized tour of the Capitol, which was arranged by the office of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green. Museum visits included the American History Museum (featuring Archie Bunker's chair and Abraham Lincoln's hat) and the International Spy Museum (displaying concealable spy gear, such as a radio hidden in a fake scrotum and lockpick sets). The government shutdown concluded, but the current Continuing Resolution (CR) expires around January 30th, leading to concerns about another looming shutdown shortly after the holidays. National Politics and Infighting Donald Trump used new nicknames for Marjorie Taylor Green, including "Marjorie Taylor Brown" and "Marjorie Trader Green," labeling her a RINO (Republican In Name Only). The hosts praised the constituent services provided by Marjorie Taylor Green's office, noting the staff is super nice and very young. Michael Knowles spoke at Belmont Abbey College on the theme of the civil war within the Republican party, arguing that infighting is excessive despite Republicans controlling all three branches of government, partly fueled by podcasters seeking clicks. It was argued that Trump's petty attacks against figures like Green and Thomas Massie harm the independent vote. Georgia Local Issues Property Taxes: Discussion centered on the dangers of eliminating property taxes in Georgia, which would require rural counties to rely on state funding and beg the capital for money. The concept of paying property taxes as a one-time charge, similar to the vehicle ad valorem tax, was mentioned. Savannah Gun Law: A local judge ruled Savannah's ordinance—which mandated securing firearms in vehicles and carried potential penalties up to a $1,000 fine or 30 days in jail—as unconstitutional and contrary to state code. A representative from the hosts' area, Martin, was named chairman of the House Committee on Code Revision. The Mega Millions winner in Newnan, GA, prompted jokes that they can now afford their property taxes. Cultural Topics and Oddities Penny Discontinuation: The US Treasurer announced that the penny will no longer be minted, a move expected to save $56 million annually. The concern was raised that this is the first step in moving away from physical currency. Emigration Poll: A poll showed that 40% of young women (aged 15-44) expressed a desire to leave the US, which the hosts attributed to political romanticism rather than a genuine wish to give up American comforts and amenities. Congressional Conduct: Democrat Congressman Brad Sherman (CA) was observed looking at racy photos on a flight and blamed the incident on his iPad's algorithm. Epstein Files: Trump ordered the Justice Department and FBI to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's relationships with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and other former officials. The hosts urged a full release of non-pornographic information, expecting the list to expose CEOs and captains of industry. Vandalism: Timothy Meyers Pool was arrested for vandalizing a Veterans Day exhibit at a Texas church after leaving his driver's license at the scene. Sports Georgia achieved a victory over Texas. Texas A&M secured a dramatic comeback win against South Carolina (31-30), after trailing 30-3.

The US President has said he will begin legal action against the BBC within the next few days after receiving an apology but no financial compensation over a misleading edit in a documentary about him. Lawyers representing Donald Trump had asked for a retraction, an apology and a payout after it was revealed that his speech at a rally on 6th January 2021, the day of the Capitol riots, was edited to give the impression he'd made a direct call for violence. Meanwhile, leading Democrats have accused President Trump of trying to deflect attention from questions about his relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, after he announced he was asking the attorney general and FBI to investigate prominent Democrats who he claims "spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his island". Also: the BBC speaks to Palestinian farmers who have been attacked by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank; the AI company that claims its chatbot has been used by Chinese spies to hack organisations around the world; the mining giant BHP is found responsible for the collapse of the Mariana dam in Brazil ten years ago; and film tourism is a multi-million dollar global business, but is it always a good thing?The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

President Trump has said he'll sue the BBC for up to five billion dollars, despite the broadcaster's apology for misrepresenting the speech he gave before his supporters attacked the Capitol building. Also in the programme: settler violence in the West bank; and 25 years of Daft Punk.(Picture: The BBC logo outside the BBC Broadcasting House. Credit: REUTERS)

The BBC has sent a letter of apology to Donald Trump, saying it regrets the way a programme spliced together parts of his speech from the day of the Capitol riots. But the corporation's lawyers have rejected Mr Trump's demand for compensation. The president has threatened to sue the BBC for $1bn over the edited clip. Also: The former Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina has denied committing crimes against humanity. New analysis from COP30 has shown that 1,600 delegates from the fossil fuel industry are in attendance. Germany has announced plans for military conscription, in the shadow of the war in Ukraine.

This week America met the “Benedict 8” – who pursued a craven, cynical, and ultimately unstrategic betrayal of the American public. We dive into how the “Benedict 8” and the leadership that enabled them exposes what's wrong with Democratic leadership and how it fails to deliver on its goals. Does this low point provide a moment to break with failed policies of the past and craft a new vision for the Democratic Party rooted in fighting powerful wealthy interests and winning on issues that dramatically improve the lives of the American people. We discuss the successful Citizen Action of Wisconsin Climate and Utility Justice Lobby Day this week at the Capitol where 150 citizen lobbyists from around the state met with legislators and attended a media event to announce the 2% of Income Utility Rate Cap Bill. We unpack why the new legislation is critical. The U.S. Catholic Bishops overcome the ideological cleavage in the church to condemn Trump immigration policies. What are the implications for the gestapo-like tactics of ICE? We discuss the new campaign against AT&T, who is helping ICE identify and pursue people across the country. AT&T contracts with ICE, CBP, and DHS—the agencies running Trump's deportation machine—and the terror that comes with it. We urge listeners to attend an event exposing AT&T in Illinois this Saturday.

Guest: Richard Warnica, Senior Opinion Writer In this episode, we explore Richard's recent visit to Texas as a vivid microcosm of Trump's current America. He reports on cratering trust in vaccines, increasingly aggressive ICE arrests that are cleaving families apart, and the dismantling of public media meant to help citizens understand their world. His conversations with advocates, lawyers, and local leaders highlight a landscape shaped by disease, cruelty, and deliberate ignorance — all unfolding alongside climate-driven disasters like the recent deadly flood at Camp Mystic girls summer camp, where grief still lingers in the air. PLUS: Hear Texas House Representative Nicole Collier speak about how Republican action inspired her to sleep two nights on the Capitol floor, in protest. Produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Paulo Marques and Sean Pattendon

Navy Lt. Commander Thomas E. Caldwell disabled veteran in his sixties—was living peacefully on his Virginia family farm when FBI agents executed a pre-dawn SWAT raid. The charges? That he was a leader of the Oath Keepers who stormed the Capitol and "hunted down" members of Congress.Every single claim was false.Tom was never a member of the Oath Keepers. He never entered the Capitol. He never planned an attack. The Government has since admitted all of this—but only after Tom spent over 50 days in solitary confinement and endured years of prosecution. Navy Intelligence officer, acquitted of all conspiracy charges, Supreme Court victory - with documented proof of prosecutorial misconduct: Assistant U.S. Attorney lying to magistrates, DOJ perjury, falsified evidence. With Trump now reviewing FBI leadership and 4,000+ agents, Tom's story explains exactly why that matters. Plus, Tom's incredibly compelling on how faith sustained him through 53 days of solitary confinement and years of persecution.The Mouths of the Wicked releases November 6 WHY NOW: Tom's explosive new book, The Mouths of the Wicked: A True January 6 Story of Corruption, Persecution, Survival, and Victory, releases November 6. For years, he was legally silenced. Now pardoned, he's finally free to reveal everything—how the FBI made assumptions without investigation, how he corrected their "evidence" during interrogation, and how the media branded him a would-be assassin. All lies. All documented. THE NEWS HOOK: The Trump administration is conducting an unprecedented review of FBI leadership and the 4,000+ agents who worked Jan. 6 cases—raising urgent questions about investigative standards and accountability. Tom's case is documented proof of what went wrong: the FBI raided based on assumptions, held him 50+ days in solitary, then quietly admitted every charge was false. As the bureau faces scrutiny over its Jan. 6 investigations, Tom's story reveals the human cost of "arrest first, investigate later." YOUR AUDIENCE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS: The FBI raided based on ASSUMPTIONS—admitted they were wrong AFTER the arrest Held 50+ days in solitary for crimes the Government now admits he didn't commit Never entered the Capitol, yet branded a terrorist and assassin A disabled veteran in his sixties treated like a violent extremist First time telling the complete, unfiltered story Tom is a grandfather-aged Christian veteran who served his country honorably—only to have that government destroy his reputation and livelihood based on false accusations they later retracted. With The Mouths of the Wicked released November 6, he's finally telling the full truth. "Even a pardon does not bring full restoration." — Thomas E. Caldwell Feature: "FAKE NEWS!! CFACT.org @CFACTDonnaJackson - COP30: The usual suspects sound the alarm, but funding is diminishing By Peter Murphy| November 10th, 2025|11Comments Prince William speaks, but others are singing a newclimate tune Belém, Brazil The CFACT crew has descended upon this year’s UnitedNations 30th Conference of the Parties, hosted by the nation ofBrazil in the northern city of Belém. The adjacent and thought-to-be preciousAmazon rainforest received a major haircut to make way for the new AvenidaLiberdade highway and hotel space for this annual gabfest on climateexistentialism. Right on cue, world leaders began the proceedings to sound thealarm. The wrinkle for this year’s conference is that fewerpeople are listening to the familiar and shopworn admonitions about climateexistentialism to the planet, starting with the executive branch of thewealthiest nation and one of the top climate donors. Let’s start with the future king of the rapidly decliningBritish Empire, William, the Prince of Wales. Following in his father’s climatefootsteps, “Wills,” as his late mother, Diana, affectionately referred tohim, warned:“All of us here today understand that we are edging dangerously close to theearth’s critical tipping points … The melting of polar ice, the loss of theAmazon, the disruption of ocean currents … these are not distant threats. Theyare fast-approaching and will affect every one of us, no matter where we live.” Despite his vapid claim, “The science is clear,” theprince provided none in his speech. He should try next time with CFACT’s latest“Climate Fact Check” (here). William also praised his father, King Charles III, forinspiring him on the climate issue, and it shows. His speech had a familiarring, since then-Prince Charles said pretty much the same thing at COP26 inScotland back in 2021, which he summedup as the “last-chance saloon” for the planet Earth. His Royal Majesty the King has a longrecord of climate exaggerations and scaremongering that continue to bediscredited with the passage of time, yet it gives his son and successor nopause or humility on the subject. In 2009, Charles warned that “irretrievableclimate collapse” was just 100 months away. Just before 2017 came and went, herecalculated the point of no return to around 2050, thereby falling in linewith the UN groupthink goal of achieving “net-zero” carbon emissions worldwide. At this COP30, more than climate is changing, with atleast one long time activist and funder having second thoughts. Bill Gates,founder and former long-time head of the Microsoft Corporation and for a timethe wealthiest man on planet Earth, has been rethinking his approach to climateby shifting his fortune to other, more urgent priorities. This matters greatlysince he presides over the largest private foundation, valued at$86 billion. While he still views climate change as a “problem,” Mr.Gates said lastmonth, “It will not lead to humanity’s demise” — a statement that cuts the legsout from under the entire climate agenda. That is because if the planet’sfuture and humanity itself no longer hang in the balance, there is no reason tolight everyone’s hair on fire — and extract trillions of taxpayer dollars anddebt — to purportedly deal with the matter. Rather, Gates writes, “Our chief goal should be toprevent suffering, particularly for those in the toughest conditions who livein the world’s poorest countries.” This means curbing CO2 emissions willtake a distant back seat. The financial implications of this shift are significant.The massive Gates Foundation fortune shifting its priorities to fighting globalpoverty and disease in developing countries is money better spent. Trying tostop natural climate variations in one direction over the next 30 years willnot feed one malnourished child, nor will it stop another diseased child fromdying well before adulthood and the supposed climate Armageddon. Another big change at COP30 is the effect of democracyleading to the re-election of Donald Trump as president of the U.S., resultingin the absence of his administration at COP30. The president is defunding the“Green New Scam,” as he describes it, which we will explore later this week. Money is the mother’s milk of the climate industry.Having the richest country and the richest benefactor either pull the plug orshift priorities is a very big deal. Which brings us back to Prince William. Notwithstandingthe British royal family’s climate silliness and hypocrisy, Igive credit to William and his lovely wife, Kate, who otherwise are genuine andcommitted public servants, in contrast to their pretentious grifter relatives residingeight time zones westward. With King Charles, who turns 77 this week and hasbeen fighting cancer for two years, William will soon ascend to the throne ashead of state to a rapidly declining Great Britain with a growing litany oftroubles and crises that eclipse esoteric climate change. Now that Prince William’s climate trek to Brazil and hisvirtue-signaling speech are behind him, he should focus his nation on energydevelopment, the economy, migrant issues, and his nation’s assault on freespeech, to name a few much higher priorities than climate. CFACT isat the Brazil climate conference where the UN has learned nothing By Craig Rucker| CFACT This year’s big UN climate summit opens today in Belem,Brazil, and CFACT’s team of policy experts is there! President Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord,coupled with his epic takedown ofclimate dogma at the UN General Assembly, has sent shockwaves through the UNclimate establishment. While the U.S. may be boycotting the conference, UNCOP30 is kicking off today solidly under Trump’s shadow. It is time for the President to lead us even further. CFACT said in a press release: “CNN has already hyped COP30 as ‘one of the mostconsequential climate summits in a decade’ — but it could prove even morehistoric. For the first time since the U.S. signed the 1992 Rio Earth Summittreaty, there will be no official U.S. delegation present.” “Undeterred, CFACT’s team of U.S. climate skeptics isstepping up as the self-declared ‘unofficial’ U.S. delegation to COP30. They’llbe on the ground to amplify Bill Gates’ recent climate realism — that climatechange ‘will not lead to humanity’s demise’ — while backing the more than100 nations that have yet to submit their so-called ‘required’ plans tothe UN for hitting the Paris Accord’s net-zero targets. “CFACT will also expose the clear-cutting of thousands ofacres of the tropical Amazon rainforest to build a highway to accommodatethe COP30 event.” Team Climate will not relinquish a dollar of funding or anounce of power without a fight. Rachel Cleetus, of the Union ofConcerned Scientists said, “No country, including the United Statesthat is now being led by an anti-science, increasingly authoritarian Trumpadministration, can stop global climate action … The question is, is it goingto accelerate fast enough, given the dire space we’re in now with the climatecrisis? We have this rapidly shrinking window. The science is absolutelystark.” We’re hearing a lot of similar talk at the conference. Peter Murphy explains at CFACT.org that “moneyis the mother’s milk of the climate industry. Having the richestcountry and the richest benefactor either pull the plug or shift priorities isa very big deal.” While President Trump’s actions represent tremendousprogress in the fight to reestablish climate realism, the UN climate processremains incredibly dangerous. CFACT is on the job. We’ll keep you fully informed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An Anchorage nurse practitioner was sentenced to three years in prison Friday for illegally prescribing powerful opioids to patients without medical justification, according to the Alaska Department of Law. Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan is rejecting the chance to sue the federal government for up to $500,000 under a controversial provision tucked into the bill that ended the 43-day government shutdown, which allows eight Republican senators to seek damages if their phone data was obtained without notification during special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection. An Anchorage man convicted of killing a 19-year-old woman in 2019 as part of an alleged “catfishing” scheme was sentenced to serve 70 years in prison on Friday.

President Donald Trump last night signed a short-term funding bill that officially reopened the government. But when one door opens, so does a large can of worms. As lawmakers returned to the Capitol on Wednesday morning, a new collection of Jeffrey Epstein emails were made public, and their references to Trump reignited a storyline that dominated headlines earlier this year. Now, with Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) finally sworn in, a dramatic vote on the release of the Epstein files is on its way. Playbook's Jack Blanchard and White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns walk through what to expect, and what it all means for Trump.

In this episode, Don sits down with Democratic strategist and consultant Chuck Rocha to break down the chaos unfolding in Washington, D.C. The GOP is rattled. Trump is visibly anxious. And with the explosive release of the Epstein emails, the former president's frantic attempts to deny, distract, and cover up are only making him look more guilty and more desperate. Don and Chuck unpack the mood inside the Capitol, the fear gripping MAGA world, and what these revelations might mean for Trump's future. Then they take a deep dive into the massive shift in the Latino vote during Tuesday's Democratic sweep. Why did it happen? What changed? And what does this mean heading into the 2026 midterms?

(The Center Square) – The U.S. House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol cost almost twice as much as previously reported, including spending taxpayer funds for TV news producers and documentary filmmakers to create videos dramatizing its case against President Donald Trump, an investigation by The Center Square found.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Read more: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_e6512782-9ecf-4b83-ad61-2fd26f4464f3.html Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's Headlines: The government's still shut down—but hey, the Senate finally passed a funding package, which now heads to the House so they can, you know, maybe reopen the country. The deal only funds things until January and gives Democrats a pinky promise to hold a vote on extending Obamacare subsidies next month. Meanwhile, hidden inside the bill is a clause letting senators sue the government for $500,000 if their phone records were searched in the January 6th probe. There's also a proposal to recriminalize THC and hemp-derived products, which would basically nuke a $30 billion industry overnight. The Supreme Court just extended the Trump administration's ability to block SNAP payments through Thursday, so… no rush on feeding people. Elsewhere, the House is finally about to have enough signatures to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files once Adelita Grijalva finally gets sworn in today. But don't get too excited—it probably won't happen until December, if ever. Trump, meanwhile, is asking the Supreme Court to toss out the $5 million he owes E. Jean Carroll, and one of his pardoned Jan. 6 guys just got re-arrested for kidnapping and sexual assault. So that's going great. Overseas, the BBC is melting down after an independent report found major bias issues and a Hamas-adjacent narrator situation. Two execs have already resigned, and Trump's threatening to sue them for $1 billion because a documentary made him look bad (like, worse than usual). And in D.C., plastic surgeons say “Mar-a-Lago face” is the latest cosmetic trend—apparently, looking filler-blind is in.

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys take an early look at the "re-opening" of the government. They also dive into the "Blue Wave" on election night--was it really, or just the expected outcome of races in Blue States? And they discuss Donald Trump's threat of a billion-dollar lawsuit against the BBC over a highly edited version of his speech near the Capitol on January 6th.

Longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history is about to end with the House Republicans expected to join the Senate in passing a bill to fund most of the government through January and part of the government for the full fiscal year, through September 2026. House Democrats are speaking out against the bill because it does not have an extension of Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies they have been demanding. A provision the Senate added to the bill to allow Senators to sue for half a million dollars if their phone data was collected in a federal investigation is coming under House scrutiny. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) says the House will vote next week to repeal it. Vice President JD Vance speaks at the Make American Healthy Again (MAHA) summit in DC. House Oversight Committee Democrats release emails in which the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggested President Donald Trump knew more about Epstein's alleged sex trafficking that he has admitted. Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) is sworn in, weeks after she won a special election. President Trump threat to sue the BBC for $1 billion over its edits of a speech he gave prior to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol comes up during Prime Minister's Question Time.

How do non-state armed groups act when the state seeks not to crush them—but to tolerate their activities? This is the central question of a new book by the political scientist Kolby Hanson titled, Ordinary Rebels: Rank-and-File Militants between War and Peace.Kolby is an assistant professor of government at Wesleyan University, and his new book looks at how state toleration fundamentally transforms armed groups by shaping who takes up arms—and which leaders they follow. The book draws on a range of innovative surveys and in-depth interviews tracing four armed movements over time in Northeast India and Sri Lanka. The book looks not so much at what armed groups do when they fight—but what they do when they don't. To talk more about his new book, Kolby joins Milan on the show this week. They discuss what it means to be a “likely” recruit of an armed group, the complex political economy of India's northeast, and the way in which state toleration operates on a spectrum. Plus, the two discuss the prospects for long-term peacebuilding in South Asia and how Kolby's new book sheds light on the troubling January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.Episode notes:1.

President Trump is threatening to sue the BBC for $1 billion, claiming a documentary misrepresented his role in the Jan. 6 attack. Trump’s legal team says the BBC edited video to look like he urged supporters to “fight like hell” immediately after directing them to march on the Capitol. The two lines came more than 50 minutes apart. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Brian Stelter of CNN. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.

David Waldman has some explaining to do, and just the venue to do it. Dems spent a half week too close to the sun before finding a nice familiar cave to retreat to, back safe in the protective arms of the Gop, who have promised to quit beating them, this time. Democrats had to give in, for the sake of the children. Well rested, the Capitol kicked into high gear, running like the finely tuned machine that we've come to expect. Meanwhile, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson performed an excellent example of jurisprudential Jiu Jitsu by administrative stay to save SNAP from slow rolling.  Laura Loomer follows the voices in her head (Who sound just like Donald K. Trump) to smite Trump enemies, who never seem to include pedophiles, coal rollers, etc. Is Trump's cruelty or stupidity worse? Today's vote is for stupidity, for promoting mortgages that would take generations to pay off. Hey, at least Trump's was bigger than FDR's!  RIP today to Sally Kirkland, memorable in an almost unimaginably varied artistic career.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 11, 2025. 0:30 After weeks of gridlock, Washington may finally reopen. Eight Senate Democrats, including Dick Durbin, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Maggie Hassan, have crossed the aisle to support ending the government shutdown. But this isn’t a sudden burst of bipartisanship—it’s political triage. While we credit John Fetterman for his consistency, most of his colleagues acted out of panic, not principle. The Democrats’ leadership, led by Chuck Schumer, is collapsing under the weight of its own miscalculation—boxed in, out of leverage, and out of public support. 9:30 Plus, we cover the top 3 Things You Need to Know. Some Democrats in the Senate appear to have finally caved on the government funding battle. The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a case over whether or not mail in ballots that arrive after election day may be counted in an election. President Trump issues pardons over the weekend for many conservatives and Republicans accused of wrongdoing in the aftermath of the 2020 elections. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We tackle one of the most disturbing moral crises of our time—Canada’s expanding euthanasia program. What began as a measure for the terminally ill has spiraled into something far darker: state-sanctioned death for people with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and even mental health struggles. 15:30 Our American Mamas, Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, take on a listener’s question: “Can you even say one positive thing about Democrats?” Terri admits her “compliment” might be a bit backhanded—calling Senator John Fetterman the most sensible Democrat in America, though she jokes that says more about the state of the party than about him. Kimberly finds something to admire too: Democrats’ fearlessness in saying whatever they want without worrying about backlash—something she says conservatives could never get away with. But the discussion deepens as the Mamas reflect on their own friendships with Democrats, the difference between ordinary people and political leaders, and what “tolerance” and “pluralism” really mean in today’s climate. 23:00 We turn our attention to one of the world’s most horrific and underreported human rights crises—the persecution of Christians across Africa. In Nigeria alone, radical Islamic terrorists have murdered more than 50,000 Christians since 2009, wiping out entire villages, executing pastors, and burning churches to the ground while congregations worshiped. Where is the outrage? There’s silence from the United Nations, from Western media, and from the global human rights community. 26:00 We Dig Deep into one of the most intriguing unanswered questions from January 6th — who planted the pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters the night before the Capitol riot? More than four years later, the FBI has yet to identify a suspect, even as it has aggressively pursued hundreds of other January 6th cases. But now, new information and video evidence are reigniting the debate. According to an investigation by Blaze Media, forensic gait analysis of FBI surveillance footage points to a 94% match with an individual who later went on to work for the CIA — a woman named Shawnee Ray Kirchhoff, who at the time was employed by the Capitol Police. The report connects a string of coincidences: her height matches the FBI’s description, she walks with a limp due to a past injury, and her proximity to a residence once under federal surveillance deepens the intrigue. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 This Thanksgiving, Americans may find a little more sticker shock at the grocery store. We dive into why turkey prices have soared to their highest levels in decades, with wholesale costs up 75% since last year. From a bird flu outbreak that’s decimated flocks to the lingering fallout of Biden-era inflation that shuttered many family farms, multiple crises have converged on America’s most beloved holiday meal. 36:00 Plus, the International Olympic Committee is preparing to ban transgender athletes from competing outside their biological sex categories, and that's a Bright Spot for fairness in sports. After years of controversy, including last summer’s uproar in Paris over male-born athletes dominating women’s events, the IOC’s latest review finally acknowledges what many have long known: biological differences matter. Citing findings from the IOC’s own medical and scientific director, we look at the evidence that male-born athletes retain physical advantages even after hormone suppression, confirming what critics of transgender inclusion in women’s divisions have said for years. This is not only a victory for women’s sports integrity, but also a sign that common sense is making a comeback on the world stage. 39:30 Michelle Obama is offended by President Trump's White House Renovations, bascially calling his demolition of part of the East Wing an attack on first ladies everywhere. But she had no problem renovating the state dining room during the Obama years. We see the hypocrisy, and we're saying, "Whoa." 41:30 And we finish off today's episode with a national hero who released his first original song at the age of 101.

On this Monday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid covers a variety of significant news headlines, beginning with the advancement of a bipartisan agreement by U.S. senators to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. This potential deal, however, requires further approval before becoming law.

In Brooklyn, firefighter Patrick Brady tragically died of cardiac arrest while on duty, marking the second FDNY line-of-duty death in two weeks. Additionally, Sid discusses the political climate surrounding Governor Kathy Hochul, and her perceived shortcomings after Republican Elise Stefanik last week announced her run for Governor against Hochul next year. Sid also highlights President Trump's pardon of former baseball player Darryl Strawberry for tax evasion and offers insight into an NFL halftime ceremony honoring military service, where President Trump also provided commentary on the game from the broadcast booth.

Don is LIVE in Washington, D.C., where outrage is boiling over after eight Senate Democrats agreed to vote with Republicans to reopen the government, without securing a deal on healthcare subsidies. That means premiums are going up, millions could lose their coverage, and once again, Democrats walked away with nothing to show for it. After the massive blue wave on Tuesday, many saw it as a clear mandate to stand up to Trump's cruel policies, not to fold under pressure. So what was this all even for? Don breaks it down live from the Capitol, where Democrats are getting roasted by voters and their own base for caving when it mattered most. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

In The Hunger Games, the Capitol was a glittering city of excess, decadence, and control — a place where the privileged few feasted while the common people of the “districts” starved and fought for survival. Today, you don't have to look to the pages of a dystopian novel to see that world; you can see it alive and well inside the gold and marble halls of Washington, D.C.“Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;” Jeremiah 22:13 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, our so-called leaders in the nation's capital have become the modern equivalent of the ruling class in the Hunger Games — insulated, untouchable, and utterly disconnected from the people they claim to represent. While average Americans work two or three jobs just to keep the lights on, Washington dines in luxury, writes blank checks for foreign wars, builds ballrooms for the elite, and congratulates itself for “defending democracy.” But the truth is that democracy has been replaced with deception, and liberty has been swallowed up by corruption. We were promised gold, but they've given us brass, we are being promised peace, but war is in their hearts. They create crises, then offer themselves as the solution. They demand your obedience in exchange for your “safety.” Washington has become the modern Tower of Babel — a monument to human arrogance and rebellion against God. And like that ancient tower, it will fall. Today we go deep into enemy territory to bring you all the breaking news from the front lines.

Britain's public broadcaster has been criticized for editing a speech President Trump made on Jan. 6, 2021, before protesters attacked the Capitol in Washington. AP correspondent Naeun Kim reports.

Under President Trump, the Department of Justice's long-standing mission to uphold the law “without fear or favor” has been turned on its head. Attorney General Pam Bondi has followed Trump's directives to target his political enemies and help his allies. But in their new book, Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America's Justice Department, investigative journalists Carol Leonnig and Aaron Davis show that the erosion of the DOJ's independence began long before Trump's second term. Kara speaks to Leonnig, MSNBC senior investigative reporter, bestselling author and five-time Pulitzer Prize winner, about how internal pressure campaigns in Trump 1.0 prevailed, despite the noble intentions of prosecutors; the many red flags that were missed by the FBI ahead of the January 6th Capitol attack; the stubborn bravery of unsung heroes in the National Archives Department during the Biden administration; and how the DOJ's loss of political independence will impact the country.
