In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives deep into the controversial appointment of Dr. RaShall Brackney as Jackson, Mississippi's new police chief. Clay pulls no punches, predicting her tenure will erupt into a "five-alarm woke dumpster fire" before the year ends, citing her past in Charlottesville, Virginia—where she was fired amid low morale, leadership clashes, and accusations of ruling with an "iron fist." He breaks down criticisms of her reforms, like disbanding SWAT and narcotics units, her wrongful termination lawsuit alleging discrimination, and her perceived softness on crime, including calling gangs "social clubs" and focusing on "joy" in policing over aggressive tactics.   Clay also riffs on broader political chaos: Democrats' reactions to the State of the Union, their stance on immigration and "illegal aliens," and ironic defenses of certain files while shielding others. He touches on "woke" language shifts, brain drain in Mississippi, and the need for head-busting law enforcement in Jackson rather than hugs for thugs. Listener calls and texts add fuel to the fire, debating her credentials, JPD's dire state (including stripped patrol cars and officers unable to testify), and why Capitol Police might clash with her vision!   With Clay's signature unfiltered rants, humor, and no-holds-barred takes—calling out everything from furry Democrats to brainwashed liberals—this episode is a raw dose of reality on crime, politics, and Jackson's future. Tune in for the full fiery discussion!  

Like the episode? Let us know with a quick text!In this conversation, Allison interviews Selena, a runner and the race director of Run the Rainbow, a multi-distance race event in Jackson, Mississippi that benefits the state's only children's hospital.Selena shares how she began running in her early 30s as a personal goal, progressed from 5Ks to marathons, and grew passionate about the running community.She discusses taking on trail running at longer distances, including a goal sequence with the local Muts Group (Frosty 15, Big Butts 50K, Clear Creek 50K) and an attempt at her first 100-miler (reaching 100K but missing the cutoff), with plans to complete a 100-miler and earn “Big Dog” status this year after a back issue affected her last attempt.Selena explains that Run the Rainbow started after the hospital's former 5K ended during COVID; she expanded it from 5K/10K/half to include a full marathon and a new 50K, with an earlier start option for slower runners and a commitment to supporting participants through the final finisher.She details that all proceeds support children's hospital needs not covered by standard funding, citing examples like patient iPads, specialized playground space, NICU “angel eyes,” transportation gaps, and hopes to add another trained facility dog like "Hollywood."She highlights Run the Rainbow's challenging hills, frequent aid stations and entertainment (including bands and mile-by-mile encouragement), safety planning with Capitol Police, JPD, and campus police, a course feature that includes passing a castle, and an after-party.Selena also describes the event's swag structure (shirts, kid-designed medals, towels, cups, hats/beanies, quarter-zips, and affordable donation-based expo items) and a new educational panel featuring a dietitian (Elizabeth), trainer Megan Cook, and runner Chuck Engle.Selena Daniel - https://www.facebook.com/selena.lockwoodRaces MentionedRun the RainbowFrosty 15Fondren 50kBig Butts 50kClear Creek 50kMamba 100-milerRocket City MarathonShout OutsMuts GroupDina BoylesJames BoerJeremy JunglingRunStrongHollywoodDanaPothole RunnersJackson Run ClubElizabethMegan CookChuck EngleDina BullsSupport the showFor more details on Run Your Story happenings, visit https://runyourstory.com/For web development or tech services, visit https://gaillardts.com/Go Run Your Story and take a piece of this story with you!

Members of Congress Mike Lawler & Nicole Malliotakis call in together to deliver a "major announcement", saying they worked with Speaker Mike Johnson to secure Sid a ticket to the State of the Union, briefly teasing that Capitol Police and the Secret Service had blacklisted him due to being escorted out during Joe Biden's 2023 speech, before confirming he is invited and Johnson is pleased he's coming. The conversation turns to what to expect from President Trump's upcoming address amid Fox News speculation about a possible Iran strike, with Malliotakis highlighting claimed accomplishments on taxes, jobs, manufacturing, hostage issues, border security, deportations, and crime reduction, and both criticizing Democrats for past refusals to applaud, including for a boy with cancer. Lawler also comments on reports some Democrats may boycott the address, mocks AOC's readiness for higher office, notes she grew up in Yorktown Heights rather than the Bronx, and argues Democrats have a weak bench while praising Trump's border enforcement and deportation figures.

On today's news brief: The federal government remains partially shutdown, member nations for the Gaza Board of Peace have committed $5 billion for humanitarian and security efforts in Gaza, there has been little progress in a nuclear deal with Iran, an 18-year-old man ran toward the U.S. Capitol with a loaded shotgun on Tuesday before police arrested him, and peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Geneva ended abruptly today after only two hours.

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards and blogger Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com dissect the controversial hiring of Jackson's new Police Chief, a move that has Clay questioning Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba's priorities. Drawing from WLBT reports, Clay labels her as an "extremely woke pro-social justice" figure who checks all the diversity boxes and sued her previous employer in Charlottesville—not for firing, but for not renewing her contract. With a 30-year background at Pittsburgh PD, she was brought in post-Unite the Right rallies to reform a "racist" department, banning SWAT teams and special units, though Kingfish notes she ultimately reduced crime there despite early stumbles, like mishandling a terrorist attack response. They debate skipping internal promotion for respected veteran Wendell White (formerly Gluckstadt's chief) in favor of an out-of-state hire, echoing failed past experiments under mayors like Harvey Johnson. Clay expresses low expectations due to her social justice ties and podcast, while Kingfish suggests a fresh outsider might shake up JPD's 95% Black force—if she collaborates with Capitol Police and avoids purges. The duo weighs her potential success against Jackson's history of external hires flopping, urging listeners to watch how she handles racism claims in a non-diverse department.

On January 13th, 2025, the North Carolina State Board of Elections voted 3-2 along party lines to eliminate campus polling sites for the 2026 primary, including at North Carolina A&T State University, the nation's largest public HBCU. This isn't about convenience. This is a deliberate pattern of making it harder for young Black voters to participate in democracy.In this episode of Built by Us, host Kai McNeil sits down with Shia Rozier, co-lead of the Civic Engagement Coalition at NC A&T. Shia was there when dozens of students filled the meeting room to capacity, were denied the right to give public comment, and watched as board members threatened to call Capitol Police simply for asking why their polling site wasn't included in the plan.Shia explains why the Dudley Building site matters: it's the most-used early-voting site for voters ages 18-25 in Guilford County. With freshmen not allowed to have cars on campus, it's not just convenient, it's required for democratic participation. The 3,000 students who vote there won't just go to another polling site. Those votes will disappear.But A&T students have a legacy of resistance, from the Greensboro Four in 1960 to the fight against gerrymandering in 2016. This generation grew up with Black Lives Matter, witnessed George Floyd's death online, and learned about justice earlier than generations before them. As Shia makes clear, this decision hasn't silenced them. It's fueled the fire.Support Democracy NC's work at demnc.co/donate and connect with us on Bluesky, Threads, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.Support the showFollow us on all your favorite platforms!

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we explore a groundbreaking development in election integrity as John reveals the unsealed FBI affidavit that supports the search of the Fulton County election warehouse, leading to the seizure of approximately 700 boxes of ballots from the 2020 election. This significant document highlights serious irregularities in the vote counting process in Georgia, raising critical questions about the integrity of the electoral system.John discusses the findings of FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans, who interviewed witnesses and substantiated claims of impropriety in the election process. The affidavit identifies five major irregularities that echo previous reports from Just the News, including issues with ballot scanning and adjudication. As the narrative around the 2020 election continues to evolve, John emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in our electoral processes.The episode shifts focus to the events surrounding January 6th, as John outlines the FBI's prior knowledge of potential unrest and their strategies for prosecution. He critiques the dual standards of justice observed during the summer of 2020 compared to the treatment of January 6th defendants, prompting a deeper discussion about the implications of these actions on civil liberties and the rule of law.Joining John are three distinguished guests: Congressman Barry Loudermilk, who sheds light on the current January 6th investigation and the misuse of Capitol Police intelligence files; Congressman Troy Nehls, who shares his insights on the unraveling narrative surrounding January 6th and his personal experiences with Capitol Police; and former Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund, who discusses the preventable nature of the January 6th events and the pressures he faced from political leaders.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There is “no coherent principle” to the left's ongoing “utterly hypocritical” “insurrectionary movement” in Minnesota, argues Daily Signal senior contributor Victor Davis Hanson in his first post-surgery video appearance. Nearly five years ago, these same people lambasted Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed 14-year Air Force veteran who was shot and killed by the U.S. Capitol Police on Jan. 6, 2021. The left cheered as hundreds of demonstrators were arrested for allegedly assaulting officers and carrying firearms. Meanwhile, they said it was perfectly OK for somebody like Alex Pretti “to go to a demonstration with a military-grade semiautomatic weapon, with extra clips, and just stick it in his waistband, visible sight of anybody, and then get into a brawl with law enforcement officers,” Hanson continues. “All of our most prominent liberals are saying the state of Minnesota has a right to do what? Occupy federal property? Attack federal officers? Prevent the enforcement of federal law? I thought the left didn't like states' rights. I thought they said that this was ‘insurrectionary.'” 00:00 Introduction and Personal Update 01:32 Health Struggles and Recovery 03:58 Minnesota's Street Insurrection 06:13 Hypocrisy in Law Enforcement 09:37 States' Rights and Federal Law 12:57 Conclusion and Future Discussions

In this hard-hitting segment from Episode #1147 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards breaks down the controversial release of two brothers—Michael and Marquavious McLeod—charged in the deadly St. Patrick's Day mass shooting in Downtown Jackson, Mississippi. After spending nearly 10 months behind bars for murder and aggravated assault, the pair walked free when a Hinds County grand jury returned a no-bill, citing insufficient evidence for trial. Clay pulls no punches, questioning the investigation by Capitol Police, the family's self-defense claims (admitting they returned fire but hit innocents), and potential racial sympathies in the jury that let them off. With one victim dead and six injured, Clay argues self-defense doesn't excuse collateral damage and calls out systemic issues in Jackson's justice system. A third suspect remains jailed—tune in for Clay's unfiltered take on accountability, race, and why this case reeks of injustice on WYAB!

What happens when the police stop responding — and activists take over the streets? Tara breaks down shocking footage out of Minneapolis showing alleged vigilante roadblocks, ID checks, and license plate scans carried out by Antifa-aligned groups while emergency calls go unanswered. She's joined by Rep. Nancy Mace to discuss escalating political violence, ignored death threats, and a justice system that many conservatives believe has stopped protecting them.

Clay dives into a wild "FAFO" (F*** Around and Find Out) incident in Madison, Mississippi, where brothers Donta "Demon" Palmer (yes, that's his real middle name) and Darius Palmer led police on a chase in a stolen Challenger. The duo allegedly tried to run over officers, leading to shots fired, arrests, and sky-high bonds—$2.25 million for Donta on charges like aggravated assault on law enforcement and felony fleeing. Clay uncovers the Palmers' ties to a notorious Central Mississippi crime family: Donta's dad, Derek Coleman, was killed in a shootout and suspected in his wife's disappearance; his half-brother was indicted (but acquitted) for murdering a Hinds County deputy. Clay warns this thug won't get Hinds County's lenient treatment in Madison—it's time for real justice.   Shifting to accountability, Clay blasts Attorney General Lynn Fitch for acting like a "George Soros-funded DA," prosecuting law enforcement officers who defend themselves against suspects trying to run them over. He references her indicting former Capitol Police officers for ventilating a drug-dealing suspect in a pursuit, questioning how she reconciles this with supporting ICE agents in similar cases. Clay vows to hammer this if Fitch runs for governor, arguing her approach risks "dead cops" hesitating in life-or-death moments and erodes trust in law enforcement.

In an emotional episode you won't want to miss, former journalist Pauleen Le talks about living in Minneapolis during ICE raids, and the heart ache she went through making the decision to carry her passport, despite being a US citizen. Pauleen talks about her work at Project for Pride in Living in Minneapolis, and how the community she serves is impacted by the uncertainty of the constant ICE presence.  Part of our conversation touched on something personal I recently shared on Facebook: that I've started carrying my passport with me. It's a feeling many in communities across the Twin Cities and beyond understand far too well, and it's one of the reasons these conversations matter. Pauleen Le Mark then talks about the argument that Donald Trump was not to blame for January 6th because the Capitol Police was "not prepared." Don't miss this one! Guest: Pauleen Le

Former special counsel Jack Smith finally faced Congress—and the hearing was brutal. Lawmakers hammered Smith over alleged civil rights violations, secret subpoenas targeting elected Republicans, and the J6 Committee’s reported destruction of witness interview records. Even CNN’s own legal voices hinted the Trump prosecution timeline looked political. Then the “January 6th heroes” narrative unraveled fast, as Capitol Police figure Michael Fanone erupted in shocking, profanity-laced confrontations that exposed the left’s double standard on “dignity and decorum.” SHOP OUR MERCH: https://store.townhallmedia.com/ BUY A LARRY MUG: https://store.townhallmedia.com/products/larry-mug Watch LARRY with Larry O'Connor LIVE — Monday-Thursday at 12PM Eastern on YouTube, Facebook, & Rumble!

Can you imagine the outrage if January 6 protesters had rammed a Capitol Police officer with a car?

In an attempt to rewrite history, the White House published a new web page on January 6th, calling the people who charged the Capitol and assaulted Capitol Police "unfairly targeted, overcharged and used as political examples." Is this revisionist history or are there two legitimate sides to this story?

In episode #1132, host Clay Edwards recaps the Ole Miss-Miami football game, praising both teams while expressing disappointment in the outcome and highlighting standout players. He discusses stormy weather warnings in Mississippi and shifts to political topics, criticizing Attorney General Lynn Fitch for prosecuting two former Capitol Police officers in a self-defense shooting involving suspect Jaylen Lewis, comparing it to recent ICE agent incidents in Minneapolis and Portland. Edwards defends law enforcement actions against protesters and criminals, questions liberal hypocrisy, and warns of potential civil unrest, urging support for police and border agents while calling out corruption in Jackson and Democrat-led cities.

Host Clay Edwards sharply criticizes Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch for prosecuting two former Capitol Police officers, Steven Frederick and Michael Reinwalt, in a self-defense shooting involving suspect Jaylen Lewis, described as a drug dealer who attempted to run them over with his vehicle. Edwards accuses Fitch of hypocrisy, demanding she clarify her stance on law enforcement by comparing the case to recent ICE agent shootings: one in Minneapolis involving an "affluent, ugly white liberal woman" who allegedly tried to ram an agent, and another in Portland with Venezuelan gang members. He argues the officers were fully justified, warns that Fitch's actions undermine police in Jackson amid corruption and anti-police rhetoric from figures like Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and Pastor Pickett, and suggests her decisions empower criminals and "domestic terrorists." Edwards vows to oppose her potential gubernatorial run, emphasizing support for police and calling for consistency in defending self-preservation against vehicular assaults.

Today's Headlines: Venezuela's getting even more chaotic as interim leader Delcy Rodríguez cracks down hard on any shows of support for Maduro's ouster — with arrests, detained journalists, and armed gangs patrolling Caracas in the name of “order.” Meanwhile, opposition leader María Corina Machado went on Hannity to shower Trump with praise and offer to “share” her Nobel Peace Prize… which is extra awkward given reports that Trump-world thinks she would've become president if she'd literally handed that prize to him.Trump's also insisting he consulted U.S. oil execs around the operation — the execs say “absolutely not,” and also that Venezuelan oil wouldn't be profitable for a decade — but he's now promising taxpayer-backed reimbursements anyway and claims up to 50 million barrels of sanctioned oil will be turned over, with the revenue controlled by… him. Obviously nothing concerning there. Feeling bold, the White House is floating military-backed options to acquire Greenland for “Arctic security,” because why not escalate imperial cosplay while we're here. On the fifth anniversary of January 6th, the administration launched a new government website rewriting the riot — denying officer deaths and blaming Democrats, Capitol Police, and Mike Pence — while the memorial plaque for officers quietly vanished and the Proud Boys marched again. House Democrats held their own hearing, where “MAGA Granny” Pamela Hemphill rejected her pardon and warned against Trump rewriting history. And in Minnesota, Sen. Amy Klobuchar is seriously weighing a run for governor to replace Tim Walz, though she hasn't decided yet.

On the fifth anniversary of January 6, with more than 30 pardoned J6 rioters arrested for crimes afterward, Ron took a hard look at how the insurrection is being rewritten—and what that means for accountability and public safety. From emotional testimony by Capitol Police officers to the rare voice of a rioter who rejected a presidential pardon, this episode cuts through the spin surrounding the attack and its aftermath. Ron also examined the sweeping pardons granted to January 6 defendants, including dozens from Georgia, how it may have covered the recently arrested pipe bomber, and the troubling pattern of re-offenses that followed.A couple weeks back, Ron stumbled upon professor and author Andrew DeCort's Facebook post examining JD Vance's obvious "white fragility" at the latest TPUSA rally. He joined the show to unpack how white grievance politics, religion, and power collide in today's culture wars—and why truth, accountability, and neighborly love still matter. Incidentally, his book, "The Golden Rule: How The Ancient Ethic of Neighbor Love Can Heal The World" is out.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

President Donald Trump marked the new year by launching a military assault on Venezuela and abducting President Nicolas Maduro. Some 75 people in Venezuela were killed in the Saturday attack and 7 U.S service members were injured, according to the Washington Post. Many Democrats and some Republicans have denounced the act as unconstitutional, while Trump has followed up by threatening more military action against Cuba, Mexico, Columbia and Greenland. This week also marks the fifth anniversary of the January 6th insurrection on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters who were attempting to overturn Trump's loss in the 2020 presidential election. I spoke with Vermont Sen. Peter Welch about these escalating domestic and international crises under the Trump administration just before he returned to Washington. The following transcript has been edited for length and clarity.David Goodman  Let's begin by getting your thoughts on the US actions against Venezuela this weekend.Peter Welch  It's reckless and it's wrong. I mean, let's acknowledge the military did a very professional job, but the decision the President made to depose the leader of another country, authoritarian that he was, and then to say that this is about us running Venezuela, and then to say that he wants our big oil companies like Exxon to take over Venezuelan oil brings us back to gunboat diplomacy. It's very, very dangerous. I'm adamantly opposed to what the President did.David Goodman  What did you as a United States senator know about this operation in advance?Peter Welch  Absolutely nothing. I'm a United States senator and the United States Senate is the institution that has the authority to authorize a military action. This was an act of war. We were never consulted. We were never involved. So we knew no more than any other citizen who woke up that morning. And what you're seeing is that the President is completely acting beyond the authority of an executive. In my view, Congress has to stand up and resist that. But we don't have Republican support, and we need that. I am a co sponsor of a resolution condemning this and I'm going to be urging my Republican colleagues that we not relinquish our authority and have a president who is exceeding the powers that the Constitution gives him.David Goodman  How is this supposed to work? For example, what happened when President George W. Bush invaded Iraq in 2003?Peter Welch  The President comes to Congress and asks for an authorization to use force, and in the case of President Bush, he did that before he went to Iraq. I was opposed to that and many members of Congress were, but a majority supported him. But the President did come to Congress. There's a reason for that. When we're going to put our men and women in harm's way, that's a major decision. Deciding to use military force is an easy decision for a president like Trump, but the consequences of it are paid for by our country and by men and women who are willing to serve at the call of the Commander in Chief. That decision should be deliberated. There should be a discussion, there should be a debate. There should be accountability by members of Congress that they said yes or they said no to this request by the President. What there shouldn't ever be is the arbitrary capacity of an individual who happens to be president to plunge us into a war.David Goodman  President Trump said in his address to nation on Saturday that this is all going to be free. It's going to be paid for by Venezuela. Do you believe that?Peter Welch  No, absolutely. He said that about the (border) wall too. Let's just discuss this. There is a decision that only the President made. Number one, the decision was to take out Maduro. Number two, everybody in Maduro's government is still in power. Number three, the President says we're going to run the country. How are we going to do that? Number four, he says our oil companies like Exxon are going to take over the Venezuelan oil fields. None of those things can happen and none of them should happen. So the President is saying, “they're going to pay for it.” This same president won't lift a finger to extend the health care tax credits that have already expired and where we're going to have about 25,000 Vermonters without health care as a result of that. No, this is bogus.David Goodman  Right now there are Vermonters in the Caribbean, the Vermont Air National Guard. What do we know about the role that they are playing in this operation?Peter Welch  First of all, we are all so impressed and appreciative of our Guard. They got 11 days notice right around the Christmas holidays and had to pick up and leave their families behind. There was no notice for them. What we do know is that none of them have been injured, and I am so pleased that that is the news that we have, and we are awaiting a report about what role they did play. But of course, we have the Air National Guard and they have air assets, and obviously those were a big part of this operation, so we'll find out. But I don't know exactly what they were requested to do.David Goodman  The President has described the strategic principle here as the “Donroe Doctrine,” his update of the 200 year old Monroe Doctrine. What do you understand Trump's doctrine to be?Peter Welch  The Monroe Doctrine was an assertion by President James Monroe that European powers could not colonize countries in this hemisphere. What the “Donroe” Doctrine is is the United States can impose its will on countries in this hemisphere. Totally different. It's more about gunboat diplomacy. It's more about imperialism. These are the President's words: “we're going to run the country in Venezuela,” “we're going to have our oil companies there.” That has absolutely nothing to do with the Monroe Doctrine. If the President is, in a kind of pathetic way, trying to make a new word of “Donroe,” the Don is more like a mob boss than it is a diplomat or a statesman.David Goodman  The United States does not have state-run oil companies, but President Trump is saying that private American oil companies are going to rebuild the infrastructure of Venezuela's oil industry. Does that make sense to you?Peter Welch  No, absolutely not. I first started getting interested in Latin America during the President Kennedy administration. There had been a history of the United States companies essentially toppling governments to their own advantage. United Fruit in Nicaragua, of course, the United States toppling an elected government in Guatemala in 1954. What President Kennedy did was really started moving us to where we were promoting democracy. The Alliance for Progress, the Peace Corps -- they became the United States engagement in Latin America and South America, which were more premised on the ideals of democratic participation and democratic rule. President Trump has repudiated that totally and completely. What he wants to do is have transactional engagements with these countries that benefit him or benefit American companies. The aspiration for democratic rule or facilitating the path to democracy is totally rejected by this President. It is completely the wrong way to go.David Goodman  In the first year of President Trump's second term, the United States has taken military action against seven different countries, including three that we've never waged war against. After attacking Venezuela, Trump threatened action against Cuba, Mexico and Greenland. What can or will constrain him?Peter Welch  It has to be Congress and the American people. But right now, the biggest dilemma we have in Congress is that my Republican colleagues have abdicated the constitutional authority that we have as members of Congress in so many areas that the President is acting more like a king. Under Article One of the Constitution, Congress has to vote on war making and authorize it in Appropriations. It's up to Congress, the power of the purse. The President is disregarding that. In area after area, my Republican colleagues have been willing to abdicate their authority and their responsibility and delegate it to the President. So you're having this undemocratic concentration of power in a president who knows no limits and thinks that because he is president, he can do whatever he wants. That's a real threat to our democratic governing system.David Goodman  This seems to have opened up some cracks in the MAGA coalition. We are hearing about opposition from Marjorie Taylor Greene and Representative Thomas Massie, also Senator Rand Paul, who have opposed this break with the idea of “America First.” Do you think this could cause other fractures within that coalition?Peter Welch  I do. Americans do not want us getting involved in foreign wars. They support our military, and we need our strong military to make certain that we're defended. But this action in Venezuela is not to protect us from a threat to our country from Venezuela. His talk about taking over Greenland is not to protect us from a threat by Greenland or Denmark, and likewise, Colombia. Most Americans know that asking our citizen soldiers to go to war for presidential preferences is absolutely wrong. We've got to take care of things that are really tough for everyday working people in our country. Right now, Vermonters are losing health care. The President hasn't lifted a single finger to extend those tax credits so that Vermonters and Americans won't lose health care. The president ran as a person who was against these “forever wars” and now he's embracing these wars, not just in Venezuela, but also the threats In Colombia, the threats in Greenland and in Cuba. Why?David Goodman  Why do you think he has pivoted in such a dramatic fashion from a core principle that he has run on?Peter Welch  The biggest support group he has is the billionaires. If Venezuelan oil is now suddenly run by American oil companies, they benefit. And I'm not even certain the oil companies want what he's doing. The President is very, very good as a politician in stoking division, but his real loyalty where his policies have consistently been applied is when it comes to enhancing the wealth of the very wealthy. The tax cut bill, the One Big Beautiful Bill went largely to billionaires. When he talks about foreign policy, he talks about getting American companies in Venezuela in on the oil. When he meets with leaders from Middle Eastern countries, they talk about crypto deals or meme coin deals that involve his family. That's an obvious motivator for the President. It's really tough for Vermonters now with health care, with the cost of housing, and our small businesses that are contending with these tariffs that are really punishing their ability to sell their products and compete. They don't have the telephone number of the Secretary of Treasury where they can call up and get an exemption like a lot of Trump friends can. Our job is to get us focused back on the well being of American citizens, of having a fair and square economy where people work hard, and if they do and they have a good product, they can get ahead and their success doesn't depend on whether they're connected to the President or whether they made a big fat campaign contribution.David Goodman  This week marks the fifth anniversary of the January 6 insurrection in which Trump supporters attacked the US Capitol. You were in the Capitol that day. How did that experience change you, and in your view, change the country?Peter Welch  I was shocked, as we all were. I was in the gallery in the House of Representatives about 30 feet from where the shot was fired. I was on the floor above, but it was right below me. I couldn't believe it. And I was there when the mob was breaking the doors down. They were ultimately unsuccessful, but they broke the glass. I was seeing our security people with guns drawn. And what to this day still stuns me is that even though I was there, even though in real time I was hearing the shot, I was seeing the glass being broken, I didn't believe it was happening. It couldn't happen because this is the United States of America, and we've never had an insurrection to stop the peaceful transfer of power. We've been so blessed with this tradition where the winner is certified as the winner, and where violence is not used to change the outcome of an election. That changed that day. And what was also painful was to see these Capitol Police officers who I see every day, and they're just wonderful people that work hard, and they then became vilified, as though they were the attackers and the people who attacked them, who kicked them, who spat on them, who bit them, who tried to rip their helmets off and nearly break their necks -- those people were pardoned for attacking a police officer. That continues to be shocking to me. And you've got President Trump trying to rewrite history. We can't on this fifth anniversary allow that to happen. And I'll be with many of my colleagues who will be on the Senate floor describing what happened that day, what we experienced, and what the true history is of that event.David Goodman  That's such a powerful image of you not believing your own eyes. For decades, you have believed in one kind of American story, and even though it was unraveling in front of you, you couldn't believe it. Do you feel like you still respond that way to some of what you're seeing?Peter Welch  It's changing. Our democracy is under threat with what Trump is doing. There's no question. But here's what is now animating me. I think about those police officers who reported for duty, and then even through what they've been through, they keep coming back. I still look at the Capitol when I walk to work, and I just think about the incredible commitment this country has had in its constitution, in its declaration of independence to the aspiration of equality of all men and women, and how so much of our history has been about the effort to achieve that, to make it more real, to make it more encompassing for more people. That's a worthy goal and it is under assault now. But I think about folks who came before me like John Lewis, and Martin Luther King, and how they devoted their lives to the perfection of our democracy. It'll never be perfect. But isn't it a worthy aspiration, even if it's under assault?David Goodman  Do you think something like January 6 could happen again?Peter Welch  It could happen again. This a jump-ball situation. What's going to be the outcome is not inevitable, and that's why it takes all of us to do whatever it is we can. We're in a very dangerous place in our democracy and what the outcome is going to be, I can't predict. But I can tell you this, we in Vermont are going to do every single thing we can. What Vermont does is (have) fierce debate about how to solve this or that problem, but also a shared sense that we're all in it together and that we have a shared obligation to the future of our state. We need more of that in Washington.

Pardons, Pipe Bombs and the Campaign to Make You Forget. Stephen Miller: “Greenland Should be Part of the US” What About the War Crimes? Maduro Arraigned. Trump's Runaway Train Effect. Congrats, Montana St.  On the fifth anniversary of January 6th, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff broadcasts from a dark, gloomy New York City morning that looks and feels like the day the Capitol was attacked—and he refuses to let America forget what really happened. He opens with a raw reflection on how Trump's insurrection shattered his own family's memories of the date, then tears into Trump's runaway war footing across the Western Hemisphere, from Venezuela to Cuba, Colombia and even Greenland, and a cowardly Congress that won't assert its War Powers responsibilities or even demand answers on alleged war crimes and wounded U.S. troops.​ On this somber anniversary, Paul is joined by the “great and powerful” Scott MacFarlane, CBS News justice correspondent and arguably the most trusted reporter on January 6th in America. Reporting from inside the Cannon House Office Building, Scott reveals that Republican leadership is doing nothing official to mark the day—no memorials, no floor speeches, no shared remembrance for officers who were beaten, gassed, traumatized or killed—creating what he calls a real‑time whitewashing of history, as he details the emotional toll on Capitol Police and congressional staff who hid under desks, called their families, and then came back to work in the same halls that were under siege. He breaks down the state of accountability now: mass clemency for more than 1,500 rioters, pardons that wiped away cases even for people not yet arrested, halted and refunded restitution payments, the new pipe‑bomb arrest outside the RNC and DNC, the slow grind of the Maduro case, and how denialism has shifted from rejecting the 2020 result to denying the insurrection itself.​ Paul zooms out to connect Trump's unchecked global strikes, the risk of another government shutdown, the dissolution of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting after 58 years of funding PBS, NPR and local stations, and new efforts in New York to require teaching January 6th alongside 9/11 to kids growing up in a time when that history is being rewritten. He spotlights independent veteran Senate hopeful Ty Pinkins of Mississippi and reminds listeners why Independent Veterans of America was created to back patriots like him, then rounds out the episode with culture and sports—from the X‑Men's big‑screen return to Montana State's first FCS title in 41 years and the power of football as one of America's last shared rituals—before he and Scott close by saluting the officers and staffers who “stood the line” on January 6th. For everyone tired of partisan gaslighting who knows January 6th was real and still matters, this is a home for country over party, people over politics, and light over heat—and a call to subscribe, share, support independent media, and stay vigilant, especially on January 6th.

In the second hour of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards welcomes Brad White, Executive Director of the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), for an in-depth discussion on infrastructure challenges and progress. Sponsored by A-1 Gear and Auto, the interview covers work zone safety amid driver distractions like cell phones, with Brad emphasizing the need for patience as "every barrel represents progress" and sharing stories of MDOT workers injured or killed on the job. They delve into the long-standing issue of copper theft from interstate streetlights along I-20, I-55, and I-220 in Jackson's high-crime areas, noting how thieves have repeatedly stripped wiring, leaving dangerous dark stretches. Brad explains MDOT's solutions, including tamper-proof boxes with notifications, partnerships with law enforcement (like Capitol Police), and an ongoing study for advanced designs, potentially including solar options or elevated components, to protect taxpayer investments costing millions in repairs.   The conversation shifts to positive developments, such as record funding from the legislature enabling major projects: widening I-55 from Madison to Gluckstadt with a new Reunion interchange, expansions on Highway 98, I-20 in Warren County, and others like Highway 15 and Lakeland Drive. Brad highlights litter removal efforts, costing millions annually, and promotes MDOT's inmate litter program available to all counties and municipalities. He addresses listener questions on widening Highway 471 in Rankin County (under consideration) and the decline in visible inmate cleanups (due to local partnerships). Throughout, Brad praises legislative support under Governor Reeves, which has infused over $1 billion into capacity projects, reversing decades of underfunding to build safer, more efficient roads for economic growth and public safety. The segment underscores MDOT's role in Mississippi's future, blending critiques of societal issues like littering with optimism about ongoing transformations.  

Four years after bombs were planted at DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021, the FBI just pinned it on Brian Cole—a reclusive autistic man who doesn't match the gait, height, or profile. Recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraphin, who ran surveillance one door away from real suspects before being ordered to stand down, says this is a blatant patsy job. Forensic gait analysis shows a 94–98% match to former Capitol Police officer (now CIA) Shauni Kerkhoff; USCP officers walked past the live DNC bomb to poke bushes the bomber sat in 17 hours earlier; cell-phone data was scrubbed, leads were buried. Seraphin pulls no punches: this smells like an inside false flag, and Trump's own DOJ is now helping seal the coffin.Right now—literally as this show airs—70-year-old cancer patient and election whistleblower Tina Peters is being marched back into solitary confinement in Colorado's La Vista prison: 22 hours a day in a filthy cell, lights on 24/7, no yard time, “for her safety.” This comes days after her pardon request landed on President Trump's desk and Harmeet Dhillon launched a formal investigation into Colorado's prison system. Seraphin connects the retaliation: the same Dominion images Tina preserved—now corroborated by a Venezuelan general's confession of foreign election meddling—make her a national-security asset, not a criminal. Yet Colorado's regime keeps tightening the screws while Judge Varholak shrugs and says “wait your turn.”Kyle Seraphin—husband, dad, Marine vet, and FBI whistleblower—comes locked and loaded with fresh intel, whistleblower coordination, and a no-compromise call to action. From crashing the White House switchboard to forcing congressional hearings, this is the time to break the silence. The fuse is lit. Listen hard, move fast, or we lose everything.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — The U.S. is moving toward direct peace talks in the Ukraine war, with President Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff headed to Moscow next week to negotiate a potential deal.  A Putin advisor confirmed the visit as Ukraine says it's reached a common understanding with the Trump administration on the framework of an agreement.  Trump says his 28-point plan has now been fine-tuned, even as heavy fighting continues in eastern Ukraine.   Two --- The FBI wants to interview six Democrats featured in a video encouraging military members to refuse illegal orders.  The FBI has reportedly been in contact with Capitol Police to get the interviews scheduled.  President Trump has called for the lawmakers involved in the video to be punished. And number three ---  Energy experts say Michigan's grid can support current demand but may need major upgrades as new data center proposals move forward. Projects in Saline Township and Livingston County have raised concerns about heavy power use, water demands, and strain on local wells. A national report shows regions with large clusters of data centers face higher outage risks during extreme weather. Analysts say Michigan isn't in that category yet but will need stronger transmission and distribution systems to keep pace.  

Capitol Police have been contacted by the FBI and the Department of Justice in order to schedule meetings with members of Congress who appeared in a video encouraging service members to ignore orders they may deem 'illegal.' Last week, a group of Democratic lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds released a video directed at service members and intelligence officers telling them - "You can refuse illegal orders." Meanwhile, the fallout continues from the dismissal of charges against FBI Director James Comey and New York AG Letitia James. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with David Spunt, Washington DC based correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC), who shares the latest on both legal fights.

Today's Headlines: President Trump finally announced that he signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act — though we still haven't actually seen the signature. AG Pam Bondi now has 30 days to release the files. Then, in true Trump escalation fashion, he hopped back online to call for the arrest and death penalty for several Democratic lawmakers — all military or intel veterans — after they released a video reminding service members not to follow illegal orders. Trump labeled it “seditious behavior, punishable by death!” The White House later tried to clean it up, insisting Trump does not want to execute Democrats. Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard quietly rewrote its policies so that swastikas, nooses, and Confederate flags are no longer “hate symbols” but merely “potentially divisive.” Nothing says troop readiness like officially pretending racism is a quirky personality trait. In New York, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is meeting Trump at the White House today — a meeting Mamdani's team requested, even as Trump is withholding $18 billion in federal funding for NYC infrastructure. Immigration crackdowns continue: A federal judge ruled Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to D.C. illegal — though the ruling is paused for 21 days so the administration can appeal. Meanwhile, the immigration sweep in North Carolina wrapped up with over 250 arrests, and the next wave of 250 federal agents is headed for New Orleans. The Department of Education also dropped its new student loan rules, recategorizing a bunch of very real, very necessary professions — nursing, social work, counseling, cybersecurity, engineering, OT, PA, teaching — as not professional degrees. The result, lower lifetime borrowing caps for the people we literally need the most. And lastly, the CDC's vaccine safety page has now been rewritten to align with RFK Jr.'s long-debunked conspiracy theories about vaccines and autism. Science is cancelled, apparently.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior dive straight into one of the most chaotic 48-hour stretches in recent political memory, breaking down the explosive fallout from Democrat lawmakers urging the military to refuse “illegal” orders—something the guys argue is closer to a call for insubordination than anything Trump has said. From congressional rhetoric to Biden-era military politicization, they unpack why this moment is far more dangerous than the media admits. The episode also revisits the growing controversy around the J6 pipe bombs, analyzing newly surfaced footage, the questionable canine sweeps, overwritten surveillance, and the suspicious Capitol Police search patterns that have everyone asking what really happened. Along the way, CannCon and Alpha mix sharp analysis with the usual veteran-style banter, roasting inter-service rivalries, laughing through technical failures, and sharing viewer messages. It's a fast, fiery SITREP filled with hard questions, sharp insights, and zero patience for political games.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior deliver a wild, hilarious, and hard-hitting episode of SITREP, starting with Marine Corps swagger, Guard event stories, and Florida gator encounters before diving headfirst into the explosive new developments surrounding the J6 pipe bomber. The guys break down the Blaze investigation, gait analysis revelations, AT&T's missing data, Capitol Police connections, CIA ties, and the increasingly suspicious behavior of federal agencies. Alpha dissects the evidence like a seasoned detective while CannCon rage-reads Loudermilk's update and Bongino's fiery response. They analyze whistleblower letters, FBI internal politics, OPSEC, and why none of this adds up—except to corruption. The show then shifts to the disturbing Sarajevo sniper “human safari” reports, comparing shock value, evidence gaps, and timing, and speculating on whether this is narrative shaping or a test of public tolerance. Packed with humor, stories, deep analysis, inside-baseball investigations, and the duo's signature Marine banter, this episode swings from comedy to conspiracy to hard truth without missing a beat.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the tentative deal to end the U.S. government shutdown, new debates over healthcare reform, the Supreme Court's surprise ruling on food stamps, major flight disruptions nationwide, and the latest developments on immigration, the Deep State, and America's economy. Shutdown Deal Reached — Maybe: The Senate passed a bill to reopen the government, but House Democrats say they'll block it over missing Obamacare subsidies. The White House is proposing a new alternative — direct cash for Health Savings Accounts instead of insurance company subsidies — a move Democrats call "backdoor privatization." Supreme Court Blocks Full Food Stamp Payouts: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sided with the Trump administration, overturning a lower-court order that forced states to issue full SNAP benefits. Some states had already paid out 100 percent before the ruling, creating fresh confusion and federal threats of penalties. Air Travel Meltdown: Over 5,000 flights were delayed or canceled as the shutdown sidelined air traffic controllers and a blizzard slammed Chicago. Bryan quips, "Might be time to trade in your plane ticket for a horse and buggy." Stimulus Checks and 50-Year Mortgages: The White House floated $2,000 stimulus payments funded by tariff revenue, though the legality of those tariffs is now before the Supreme Court. Trump officials are also exploring 50-year mortgages and partial government ownership of homebuilders to lower housing costs — a plan critics call "socialism in disguise." Minneapolis Election Exposes Somali Clan Politics: A near-upset in Minneapolis revealed how imported clan rivalries from Somalia are shaping U.S. elections. Ilhan Omar blamed her own clan's betrayal for a socialist ally's loss. Bryan warns, "We're not melting anymore — we're balkanizing."
