Today on The Amber May Show, Amber sits down with award-winning journalist, Frontline America founder, and Real America's Voice host Ben Bergquam to discuss his new book, Step Into Fear: A Journey from Addiction to Courage and Purpose. Ben shares the deeply personal story behind the reporter Americans see today, including his battle with crack cocaine addiction, the double life that nearly destroyed his marriage, his Christian faith, recovery, fatherhood, and how confronting fear ultimately led him into some of the most dangerous reporting environments in the world. Then Amber turns to today's headlines. ICE is highlighting new arrests involving convicted child abusers, drug traffickers, and other criminal offenders. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is challenging the Trump administration over immigration policy and defending the role immigrants play in the city. The Supreme Court has temporarily kept a Trump administration mail-in voting rule blocked ahead of the 2026 midterms, leaving major questions about election procedures and federal authority. Plus, federal authorities deport a woman connected to an ISIS-inspired Election Day 2024 mass-shooting plot, a case involving a rarely used federal terrorism court. From personal redemption and faith to immigration enforcement, terrorism, election law, and the fight over America's borders, today's episode covers the stories behind the headlines.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is trying to offload a billion dollars in city-owned debt — and he can't find anyone to take it. Only two banks responded to the city's request for proposals, Bank of America walked, and the whole scheme is now putting $90 million in Chicago's 2026 budget in serious jeopardy. The collateral? Unpaid tickets. The pitch? "Trust us." The response from Wall Street? Hard pass.This is what happens when a progressive mayor runs a major city like a campaign promise instead of a balance sheet. Fitch downgraded Chicago's credit rating, the city council approved the debt sale over Johnson's own objections, and aldermen are now accusing each other over who cooked up this mess. Sean walks through the Fitch downgrade details, the structural deficit driving it, and what it tells you about the difference between cities that tax-and-spend their way into a corner versus states like Texas that are running surpluses.The kicker: Chicago's structural problem isn't a revenue problem — it's an expenses-exceed-revenue-every-single-year problem that one-time pandemic relief papered over for a few years. Now that the Fauci money is gone, the bill is due and the banks aren't interested.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories the mainstream press buries.#NFRP #Chicago #BrandonJohnsonGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Mayor Brandon Johnson is hemorrhaging his finance team at exactly the wrong moment. In the span of a week, Chicago's mayor lost two of his top three financial advisors — and his response was a press conference where he told residents that his presence is the constant, the continuity, the stability the city needs.That's the plan heading into a $1 billion budget shortfall. Johnson's city just absorbed a credit rating downgrade to BBB+, aldermen are openly saying there's no plan to move forward, and the administration's answer is that Brandon Johnson himself is the point of stability. The revolving door keeps spinning while Chicago's finances keep deteriorating.Sean breaks down what this looks like from the outside — a progressive blue city burning through leadership and credibility in the run-up to one of the toughest budget seasons it has faced. Structural problems don't get papered over by a single personality. The departure spin, the Reddit mockery of the Guzman exit, and the aldermen with nowhere to turn all tell the same story: Chicago is heading into budget season without a plan and without a team.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell — this one is not going to have a happy landing.#NFRP #BrandonJohnson #ChicagoGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is proposing a $100 million-plus Department of Gun Violence Prevention — a sprawling new bureaucracy pushed by activist groups like Live Free Illinois to consolidate existing programs under a single government roof. The proposal landed right after one of the bloodiest weekends of the year: 43 people shot or killed across Father's Day and Juneteenth, a 105% spike that only stopped short of 50 because it rained and people stayed inside.Sean breaks down the proposed ordinance, the advocacy machine behind it, and the mayor's deer-in-headlights press conference — then asks the obvious question: if Chicago already bans most guns and already spends millions on violence programs, what does another layer of government actually solve? The city rejected ShotSpotter as racist while the body count climbed. Rinse and repeat.Meanwhile the ledger tells the real story. Millions flow to criminal illegal aliens on the government dole while Roseland holds a mass shooting and heyjackass.com updates in real time. Sean walks through the weekend roundup, draws the comparison to Seattle, and lands on the uncomfortable bottom line: Chicago's leadership has chosen its priorities — and its own citizens aren't at the top of the list.CHAPTERS0:00 The Blue City Playbook: Chicago…1:27 Chicago Mayor Proposes Gun Violence…2:13 Blaming Guns, Not the Shooters2:56 Mayor Johnson's Vague Crime Response3:45 $100 Million Spent, 43 Shot Last Weekend4:29 Live Free Illinois Pushes Ordinance5:06 Chicago Rejected ShotSpotter as Racist5:56 Father's Day Weekend Shootings Surge…6:43 27 Shot in Chicago on Juneteenth7:52 Mayor Johnson at a Loss on Shootings8:53 Mass Shooting in Roseland: 13 Shot10:33 Chicago Shooting Volume Dwarfs Seattle's11:44 Chicago Spent Millions on Migrants…13:28 Will Anything Change in Chicago?Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode.#MediaBias #MainstreamMedia #CensorshipGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration secretly submitted a $3.3 billion bid to buy back the city's infamous parking meter system — and that bid was higher than the winning offer of $2.53 billion from investment firm Stonepeak. The bombshell dropped during a City Council hearing when a Stonepeak executive casually revealed Chicago's losing number, leaving aldermen furious and demanding answers the mayor hasn't provided.The original 2008 parking meter privatization under Mayor Richard M. Daley was already one of Chicago's most notorious fiscal disasters. Now Brandon Johnson quietly tried to top it — with a multibillion-dollar secret offer taxpayers knew nothing about, shielded for years by NDAs that only lifted in June 2026. Chicago bid nearly $800 million above what it took to actually win the deal.Aldermen are demanding the Law Department explain how a mayor who can't even finance a buyback submitted a bid that high without council approval or public disclosure. This is big-city government failure on a scale that should embarrass everyone involved — and as Sean puts it, Brandon Johnson has zero business running a city this size.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories the mainstream media won't tell you straight.#Seattle #Socialism #WashingtonPoliticsGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

They also weigh in on current events and political topics, including nuclear energy, data centers, and election integrity.Of course, it wouldn't be Life Liberty Happiness without a Mount Rushmore, and this week the debate centers on their favorite cookies. The episode also includes commentary on Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and the city's Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

Grok says: “New York just passed one of the dumbest AI laws yet — a ‘Synthetic Performer Disclosure Law’ that forces advertisers to label AI-generated people in ads… but only if they're random nobodies. Famous faces like Taylor Swift or Tom Selleck? Apparently fine to deepfake. On this episode of Randumb Thoughts, Darren O'Neill tears into the law's ridiculous double standards, its impossible global enforcement on the borderless internet, and why the whole thing reeks of clueless politicians who don't understand technology or basic reality. He also hits China's hypocritical warnings about U.S. AI backdoors, Sam Altman floating the idea of handing the government equity in OpenAI, the $1.4 trillion Meta ‘your app is too addictive’ lawsuit, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's latest claim that more free housing and groceries will magically end shootings. Expect the usual unfiltered rants on personal responsibility, government overreach, and why ‘won't you think of the children?’ is the laziest excuse in politics. Raw takes, zero filter, and a value-for-value closer you won't want to miss.” Thanks for listening! EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS:Mark KodraEricPP – Thanks for streaming!THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE SHOW!

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration secretly submitted a $3.3 billion bid to buy back the city's parking meters — roughly $800 million more than the nearest competing offer — and buried the entire thing under a non-disclosure agreement. When the deal fell through, Johnson dismissed the controversy. The city council and watchdog groups are not dismissing anything.Chicago's original parking meter lease is already considered one of the worst municipal transactions in American history. The city handed 75 years of meter revenue to a Morgan Stanley-led consortium for a one-time cash infusion, blew through the proceeds almost immediately, and watched rates get jacked on residents while the operator recouped its investment in record time. Johnson's administration nearly engineered a sequel — at an $800 million premium — financed by a municipal bond structure that any solvent buyer would have walked away from on the spot. The original seller apparently agreed, and passed.The NDA is the real scandal. You do not conduct $3 billion in public business in secret from the city council. Alderpersons are furious. Watchdog groups are furious. And Johnson is running his standard playbook: dismiss, deflect, move on. For a mayor already carrying one of the worst fiscal track records in Chicago's recent history, this is not a stumble — it is a pattern that taxpayers are still paying for.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell for daily coverage of the stories the mainstream press buries.#Seattle #PrideParade #CultureWarGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

As California grapples with the highest cost of living, steep regulatory burdens, and an unprecedented exodus of local businesses, the foundational blueprint of the state faces total structural collapse. Republican Candidate for Governor Steve Hilton sits down with Will to break down his optimistic, pragmatic campaign to pull the Golden State out of its "Democrat doom loop." Plus, Will and The Crew are joined by 'New York Post' Columnist Karol Markowicz and Comedian Tim Young to breakdown a shocking progressive socialist wave in the New York City primaries. They analyze how radical "Red-Green Alliance" candidates are weaponizing anti-Israel rhetoric to shift the Overton window, examine corporate media attempts to bully comedian Nate Bargatze, and blast Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's fictional "transfemicide" emergency declaration.

Hour 3 of The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers the kind of truth-telling that the mainstream media refuses to touch. Former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch opens the hour pulling back the curtain on Sam Page's calculated power play — using the county jail staffing crisis as a political weapon against the county council while local law enforcement and ordinary St. Louis residents pay the price. Derrick Morgan of the Heritage Foundation joins to sound the alarm on a nation approaching its 250th birthday with only 31% of Democrats saying they are proud to be Americans, a Democratic Socialist wave threatening major American cities, and a SAVE Act showdown that will force every politician in Washington to show their true colors. Sarah Parshall Perry of Defending Education exposes how Missouri State University was running secret campus thought police — allowing students to anonymously report classmates for pronoun violations — until Defending Education took them to federal court and shut it down. Then Kim St. Onge closes the hour with the story that perfectly captures how far off the rails the radical left has gone — Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson declaring a transfemicide state of emergency in a city where thirty-nine people were shot over one weekend and not a single victim was transgender. Hour 4 is straight ahead and it only gets better from here.

HOUR 1 — Socialist Surge, Economic Boom Ignored, and Local St. Louis Fallout Hour 1 of The Marc Cox Morning Show opens with a sharp focus on the Democratic Socialist wave out of New York, where three candidates win primary races and move toward Congress. The results are framed as a major ideological shift inside the Democratic Party, with Marc Cox questioning where this trajectory ultimately leads for national politics. While political attention centers on the leftward shift, the show highlights strong U.S. manufacturing data showing a four-year high and five consecutive months of growth. The segment presents the economic performance as a major story being overshadowed by political headlines. Back in St. Louis, Kim St. Onge covers a controversial Starbucks case involving employees who intervened during an armed robbery and were subsequently fired, with the lawsuit now moving forward in court. The hour closes with a breaking local development involving St. Louis County. A memo to police leadership details growing impacts from a budget standoff tied to County Executive Sam Page, including jail staffing shortages, inmates being turned away, and the elimination of medical positions affecting law enforcement operations. Former County Police Chief Tim Fitch is introduced for Hour 2 to break it down further. HOUR 2 — Socialist Platform Shock, Local Crisis Updates, and “In Other News” Chaos Hour 2 continues the deep dive into the New York Democratic Socialist victories, highlighting sweeping platform positions including abolishing prisons, abolishing ICE, open-border policies, and taxpayer-funded gender transition programs. The results are framed as evidence that the far-left wing of the Democratic Party is gaining real electoral power in major urban districts. The St. Louis Morning Brief follows, with Kim St. Onge reporting on the immediate effects of the St. Louis County jail staffing crisis, which begins impacting operations at 6 a.m. Additional headlines include a major St. Louis Cardinals ownership announcement expected later in the day and a Jefferson County school bus driver facing 37 felony charges following a DUI-related incident. Nicole Murray joins with economic and workforce data, noting teen summer employment has dropped to its lowest level since the 1940s while bipartisan housing legislation advances in Washington. “In Other News” closes the hour with a mix of viral stories, including a driverless Waymo vehicle involved in a police chase, an Amazon driver mistakenly entering a residential lawn, and a JPMorgan executive losing her job after a controversial incident involving a stolen trash can during a Knicks celebration. Tim Fitch is previewed for Hour 3. HOUR 3 — Local Power Struggles, National Identity Warnings, and Campus Free Speech Battles Former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch opens Hour 3, describing the St. Louis County jail staffing crisis as part of a broader political power struggle between County Executive Sam Page and the County Council. He warns that law enforcement operations are being directly impacted as budget tensions escalate. Derrick Morgan of the Heritage Foundation joins next, pointing to concerning polling showing declining national pride among Democrats ahead of America's 250th anniversary. He connects these trends to the rise of Democratic Socialist candidates in major cities and discusses the political implications of the SAVE Act debate and voter integrity concerns. Sarah Parshall Perry of Defending Education highlights a Missouri State University policy that allegedly allowed anonymous student reporting over pronoun usage and speech issues. She explains how legal pressure forced the university to shut down the system, raising broader concerns about free speech on campus. Kim St. Onge closes the hour with a look at Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's declaration of a “transfemicide state of emergency,” contrasted with ongoing violent crime issues in the city, including a ...

On this episode, Clay spends a significant portion of the show breaking down the viral video of Dasha Kilpatrick, a Texas massage therapist who got into a heated confrontation with two Muslim women at an HEB grocery store. After being selectively edited and doxxed online by activist “Tizzy,” Kilpatrick was fired from her job — but a GiveSendGo fundraiser launched in her support has already raised over $159,000. Clay defends Kilpatrick's comments, calling her a hero for speaking out and criticizing the selective editing and cancel culture tactics used against her. He also addresses the broader issue of Islam and its incompatibility with Western values. Clay is also joined in studio by recently retired 30-year law enforcement veteran Creston Berch. Together they discuss the Senatobia, Mississippi officer-involved shooting where a one-year-old child was killed after his mother allegedly tried to run over police following a shoplifting incident. They break down the “fog of war” that officers face in split-second decisions and push back against the narrative being pushed by activists and Ben Crump. The show also covers a female police officer in Canada who accidentally shot a civilian during a mass shooting, as well as several other culture war topics including MLB players writing Bible verses on their Pride Night hats and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson focusing on “transfemicide” while his city saw dozens shot over the weekend. It's another raw, unfiltered episode of The Clay Edwards Show.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 23, 2026. We're broadcasting live from Times Square in New York City — on primary day, as Mayor Zoran Mamdani attempts something far larger than winning a few congressional primaries. We explain why what Mamdani is trying to do is bigger than New York — he's attempting to remake the entire Democratic Party in the image of democratic socialism, purging what's left of moderate Democrats and replacing them with Democratic Socialists of America candidates. We ask the question nobody on the left seems willing to answer — name one socialist experiment anywhere in the world you would describe as compassionate. Venezuela? Cuba? China? The Soviet Union? If your ideology has no successful historical examples, what exactly are you basing it on? In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. is allowing Iran to sell oil in U.S. dollars through August 21st — within the 60-day window of the initial peace agreement — with Vice President Vance making clear that everything goes back on if Iran doesn't deliver. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is actually increasing. Then three non-citizens — from Brazil, Haiti, and Cuba — pleaded guilty to voting in U.S. federal elections in both 2020 and 2024, had their residency status revoked, and reminded everyone that the most secure election in history apparently had at least some fraud in it. And the superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District resigned this week following FBI raids on his home, office, and Miami property earlier this year — with scuttlebutt about potential kickbacks tied to an educational software program he was promoting. We also cover a federal judge blocking the Trump administration's use of the SAVE database — a system the government already has — to allow states to cross-reference their voter rolls against citizenship and immigration records. We explain why this ruling is breathtaking in its logic: the government cannot share data it already has with another part of the government to verify data it already has. We ask why this is even controversial. Our American Mamas Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss a Dallas case where a 75-year-old man named Chung Kim shot and killed his upstairs neighbors after they repeatedly dropped dog waste and dirty diapers onto his balcony, documented everything, went to management repeatedly, and got no help. We explore the line between a system that fails its citizens and the moment someone takes matters into their own hands — and connect it to John Adams' warning that our government is only suitable for a moral and religious people. We dig into Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner — George Soros' most famous district attorney — and a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that found Krasner's office committed a pattern of misleading and mendacious filings, withheld material evidence, submitted a false stipulation of fact, misstated facts in filings, and opposed required evidentiary hearings — all in service of helping convicted murderers and rapists avoid prison through fraudulent post-conviction relief claims. We ask the obvious question — if the state Supreme Court found all of this, why isn't Larry Krasner in jail? We also revisit the Fauci documents dumped by Tulsi Gabbard on her way out as DNI — and ask the question plainly. If Fauci used USAID through back channels to fund research that created the COVID-19 virus, which killed 7.1 million people internationally — and did nothing wrong — why did he lie to Congress? And why did Joe Biden issue a preemptive pardon for crimes nobody had formally accused him of yet? Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has expanded his trans-femicide state of emergency — focused on a statistically tiny number of transgender murder victims — while nearly 200 people have been killed in Chicago already this year by conventional violence. We explain why dividing crime victims into political categories is not just morally wrong but strategically stupid — if you actually enforce the law against everyone, everyone is protected. For our Bright Spot, we work through the five most visited landmarks in New York City — Central Park, Times Square, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the 9/11 Memorial — and find a deeper American story in each one. The conservationist tradition. The triumph of capitalism. Industrial ambition. A monument from France to American liberty. And a reminder that there are people in the world who want to tear down everything on that list. And one of Mamdani's congressional candidates — Dira Liza Avila Chevalier — posted in 2021 that America is an effing disgrace and that when she needed a napkin for barbecue, she just wiped her hands on the American flag instead of getting up to get one. She has since deleted the post. Mamdani still supports her. We note that men and women have bled for that flag. We close with the passing of former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan at 100 years old — who served under four consecutive presidents from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush — and the John McCain quote that may be the best tribute anyone ever paid him. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on Friday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down major Justice Department fraud indictments in Minnesota, the Democrats' laughable 2024 election autopsy, public infighting among top Illinois Democrats over the Chicago Bears, and a big shake-up in the Michigan governor's race..First, they enthusiastically welcome the Justice Department announcing 15 indictments connected to $90 million fin alleged in Minnesota. And officials say they are just getting started. Scot and Greg hope this will lead to the uncovering of fraud in all states. They also react to a lengthy prison sentence handed down in a separate $250 million fraud case and explain why accountability in these cases is vitally important.Next, they get a kick out of the Democratic National Committee's weak "autopsy" on why Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election.

J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson after the Chicago Bears announced their new stadium would be outside the city limits and possibly outside the state.
