Today's Headlines: Former FBI Director James Comey pled not guilty to charges of obstruction and making false statements, with his trial now set for January 5th. Meanwhile, Trump's picking new enemies, calling for Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to be jailed for “failing to protect ICE officers.” Both fired back, with Johnson saying it's not the first time Trump's tried to have a Black man unjustly arrested. Adding to that authoritarian flavor, new data shows nearly a quarter of FBI agents are now focused primarily on immigration enforcement — a number that hits 40% in some major field offices. Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hamas have finally agreed on the first phase of their ceasefire plan — Israel will pull back troops, hostages will go home, and prisoners will walk free. Qatar and Hamas added that the deal also opens the gates for aid to enter Gaza. At the same time, his administration quietly inked an executive agreement giving Qatar near–NATO-level security guarantees — a move that normally requires Senate approval, but apparently we're skipping that part now. In economic news, gold prices just hit a record high of $4,000 an ounce — the strongest rally since 1979 — while the dollar is down more than 9% this year, signaling a crisis of confidence in U.S. institutions. A 29-year-old Florida man was arrested for starting the January wildfires that destroyed over 17,000 homes in Malibu and Palisades, killing 30 people. And to end on a rare uplifting note, 64-year-old immunologist Fred Ramsdell won the Nobel Prize in Medicine — learning the news only after returning from an off-the-grid Montana vacation. Truly the anti-Trump.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they expose the escalating hostility of Illinois Democrats toward ICE, new revelations that the Biden FBI secretly tracked the phone records of Republican U.S. senators, and new disturbing allegations against the Democrats' nominee for Virginia attorney general.First, they react to multiple shocking incidents in the Chicago area where radical protesters boxed in ICE officers with cars and carried out hit-and-run tactics to disrupt operations. Despite the danger, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson continue to vilify ICE.  And while the superintendent of Chicago police implores demonstrators not to confront ICE personnel, there are also multiple instances of Chicago police officers being ordered not to aid ICE officers in distress.Next, they examine revelations that former Special Counsel Jack Smith used the FBI to monitor the cell phone communications of eight U.S. senators and one House member during the January 6th investigation. Scot argues this fits a long pattern of surveillance abuse under the Obama and Biden administrations. Will the GOP Congress be able to get to the bottom of this?Finally, the controversy deepens in Virginia as Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones faces new allegations that he once suggested a few dead police officers might be needed to stop police shootings. The accusation comes just days after his admission to sending texts wishing death on a Republican lawmaker and his family. Jones adamantly denies the allegation but Scot explains why his denials fall flat considering what we already know.Please visit our great sponsors:Support your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ to improve skin and scalp health at the cellular level—try it now with 15% off using code 3ML at https://OneSkin.coCelebrate World Mental Health Day by starting your journey with BetterHelp—get 10% off your first month at https://BetterHelp.com/3ML

October 4, 2025; 8am: ICE and other federal agents have taken to the streets of Chicago, donning tactical gear, carrying military grade weapons, and driving armored cars, while protesters gathered outside a detention center.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is calling Trump an "unstable human being" for sending federal agents to arrest Venezuelan gang members in his city. Let that sink in for a moment. Nearly 300 ICE agents carried out a targeted operation against Tren de Aragua gang members, and Johnson's response? Pure outrage that someone dared to enforce immigration law in his sanctuary city.We break down Johnson's CNN meltdown with Wolf Blitzer, his claims about "militarized troops," and the shocking reality that he's more upset about ICE doing their job than actual gang members terrorizing Chicago residents. Meanwhile, cities like Memphis are welcoming federal help because their mayors understand basic public safety.So here's the million-dollar question: How exactly do you defend keeping foreign gang members in American communities? And why are Chicago residents supposedly "shocked and appalled" by the sight of law enforcement actually enforcing the law? The mental gymnastics are Olympic-level here, folks.

The latest Debtwire Municipals Muni Lowdown podcast features Managing Editor Paul Greaves discussing public pensions with Justin Marlowe, Professor at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy and Curation Editor Stephanie Fagnani.Justin begins the podcast by providing a brief overview of challenges faced by Chicago Public Schools (CPS) over the decade and how it connects to the current situation with CPS.Justin follows up with an analysis of why, despite its troubled history, why CPS bond trading has experienced surprisingly little negative impact and whether there exists potential for deterioration moving forward.Justin segues the discussion into CPS' perpetually underfunded pension liability and whether that presents a significant problem moving forward.The conversation shifts into a comparison of the factors that led the City of Detroit to file for municipal bankruptcy versus the current hurdles that Chicago must overcome.Justin concludes with thoughts on why despite Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's labor union background, the relationship between the city's teacher's union and the city remains strained.

This segment exposes what the host claims is a global, left-wing strategy to disarm citizens and enable crime. The transcript highlights a viral clip of a Canadian police chief advising citizens to "comply" during a home invasion and contrasts it with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's personal security detail of 150 officers, while he simultaneously advocates against incarceration for others. It argues that this is not just an American phenomenon, but a worldwide plan to instill fear and dependency. The host suggests that this is a deliberate strategy to keep the public too busy with daily survival to challenge the political establishment, which lives by a different set of rules. The segment also touches on the political battle over crime, with Democrats being framed as "pro-crime" for resisting the administration's crackdown.

On this episode of Fox Across America, Jimmy Failla explains how Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are vehemently refusing President Trump's offer to send federal assistance to the Windy City just so they can claim to be part of the anti-Trump “resistance”. Host of the “Kennedy Saves The World” podcast Kennedy gives her take on whether Trump should use his influence to clear the field in the New York City mayoral race to increase the chances of defeating Zohran Mamdani.

This segment debunks the narrative that President Trump is unfairly targeting Democratic cities for their high crime rates. It features audio from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who blame red states and their gun laws for the violence in their cities. The host systematically refutes this claim by presenting statistics on the political affiliation of mayors in the 35 deadliest cities in America. The analysis shows that the vast majority of these cities are led by Democrats, and the host argues that the root cause of the crime is a "permissive" approach to law enforcement, not gun policy. The discussion suggests that the real motive for Trump's actions is to dismantle criminal networks, including cartels and violent gangs, that are taking root in these "blue territories."

On this episode of the podcast, Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie examines the troubling crime landscape in Chicago and other major U.S. cities. Representative McCombie points to a combination of low police staffing and woke liberal policies — including zero cash bail and sanctuary city laws as drivers of the crisis. Although violent crime is down slightly, Chicago still ranks among the most violent cities per capita and remains above the five-year average. House Minority Leader McCombie called out Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor J.B. Pritzker for refusing to seek federal assistance and instead shifting blame to President Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Trump has vowed to "solve Chicago's crime problem fast" by sending in the National Guard after a violent Labor Day weekend. But Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are refusing to cooperate, calling the move unconstitutional and politically motivated.Thousands of protesters flooded downtown Chicago, warning federal intervention could escalate tensions. Meanwhile, crime statistics show violent crime in the city is actually on the decline, raising questions about Trump's narrative.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about rising crime in major U.S. cities and society’s growing reluctance to label truly horrific acts as "evil." He highlights examples like JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson's policies in Chicago, crime issues in California, and a recent violent incident on the light rail. Brett also discusses the disappearance of media coverage surrounding a trans shooter in Minneapolis and ties this into broader questions about moral clarity. He strongly criticizes the hesitancy to call individuals like Jeffrey Epstein or mass murderers “evil,” arguing that refusing to use the term dilutes our ability to recognize and confront deeply immoral behavior. We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty from DohertyCoaching.com to talk about the state of UNC football and broader issues of public safety in major U.S. cities. Brett opens the segment with a lighthearted reunion before diving into Monday night’s disappointing football performance, asking Coach Doherty for his take. The coach points to TCU’s talent advantage and the challenges of building a cohesive team with 70 new players. They shift to broader trends in football, including the crossover between college and NFL coaching styles. The conversation then moves into the political, as Brett and Coach Doherty discuss safety concerns in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. Coach Doherty praises recent efforts to improve safety in the capital and criticizes leaders like Pritzker and Johnson for failing to prioritize public safety. He emphasizes that every human’s top priority is to feel safe and applauds Trump’s focus on law and order. We're also joined by Mark Vargas from Illinois Review and Newsmax to talk about the escalating crime crisis in Chicago and the political failures behind it. Mark, described by Brett as a true patriot, sheds light on the alarming violence plaguing the city—highlighting that 58 people were shot and 8 killed over Labor Day weekend alone. He accuses Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson of engaging in a massive political cover-up, prioritizing party loyalty over public safety. Vargas criticizes Johnson’s lack of leadership, noting his 6% approval rating and frequent hospitalizations for panic attacks. He calls out Pritzker’s hypocrisy for deploying the National Guard to protect DNC donors, while refusing to do so for everyday citizens. With 150,000 gang members and only 11,000 police officers, Vargas supports deploying the National Guard as a necessary step. He emphasizes that residents themselves are begging for federal intervention to reclaim their city. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

The host breaks down the escalating conflict between President Trump and prominent Democratic leaders like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who is actively resisting federal law enforcement intervention. The host details a recent federal crackdown in Washington, D.C., resulting in 1,600 arrests of violent criminals and gang members, many of whom were illegal immigrants. He argues that this strategy is designed to expose and dismantle the criminal networks thriving in sanctuary cities. The host also claims that Democrats are fighting to protect these individuals because they are seen as crucial for maintaining political power, citing a major demographic shift of people leaving blue states and a close, disturbing connection between the Democratic party, activists, and criminals.

The host discusses the political conflict between President Trump and Democratic leaders like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, framing it as a front in a larger "war" for the republic. Citing a U.S. Treasury report, the host alleges that a vast network of Chinese money launderers and Mexican cartels are working with the Democratic party to move billions of dollars through the U.S. The host claims this alliance is a deliberate strategy to gain power, with the criminal networks providing the "voters" needed to offset a demographic shift of people leaving blue states. The speaker also expresses deep concern for President Trump's health, arguing that he is working himself to death to fight this "nexus" and reclaim American territory from these forces.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson invokes slavery to oppose Trump’s plan to send troops and make his city safer — even after one of the bloodiest Labor Day weekends on record. Democrats are openly siding with chaos while Trump doubles down on law and order, pushing voter ID and cracking down on fraud.

It looks like Chicago will be the site of President Trump's immigration crackdown. Several reports say ICE is planning expanded operations as soon as next week, much like the ones recently carried out in Los Angeles. The White House is prepping contingency plans to send in the National Guard if any ICE protests get out of hand. Illinois Governor JD Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson both have both said the stepped up enforcement is not welcome in the city. We'll talk about it with journalists Michael Shure and Jim Avila as we wrap up This Week in Politics.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Democrats vs. Law Enforcement The show features a critical breakdown of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s MSNBC interview with Joe Scarborough, where Johnson repeatedly avoids answering whether adding 5,000 police officers would reduce crime. Clay and Buck argue this reflects a broader Democratic reluctance to support law enforcement, driven by ideological commitments rather than public safety. They cite crime statistics—such as Chicago’s 629 murders in 2022, exceeding the entire United Kingdom’s total—to underscore the urgency of the issue. Real-World Consequences A gripping firsthand account from a young Asian-American reporter who was violently mugged in Washington, D.C., highlighting the real-world consequences of urban crime. This sets the stage for a broader conversation about President Trump’s aggressive crime-fighting strategy in the nation’s capital, which the hosts frame as both morally necessary and politically effective. The show explores how Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and law enforcement has led to a notable drop in violent crime, including a 13-day streak without a homicide—an unprecedented development in a Democrat-run city. The hosts contrast this with Democratic messaging that downplays violent crime in favor of focusing on homelessness and mental health, arguing that Trump’s results-driven approach is resonating with everyday Americans. Rep. Chip Roy Congressman Chip Roy joins the program to discuss his campaign for Texas Attorney General, his push to ban congressional stock trading, and his support for raising the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots from 65 to 67 to address pilot shortages. He also weighs in on the Texas vs. Ohio State football game, predicting a win for the Longhorns led by Arch Manning. Anything to Not Thank Trump The hosts dive into the political and cultural impact of President Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, particularly in Washington, D.C., where violent crime rates have dropped significantly following federal intervention. They frame Trump’s approach as a bold, results-driven solution that contrasts sharply with Democratic leadership in cities like Chicago and Baltimore. The segment emphasizes how Trump’s actions—such as deploying federal resources and supporting law enforcement—are reshaping the national conversation around urban safety, law and order, and public accountability. The hosts also highlight Trump’s stance on transgender athletes in women’s sports, positioning it as a common-sense issue that resonates with a majority of Americans. They argue that Trump’s ability to solve real-world problems, from securing the border to reducing crime, is what sets him apart from traditional politicians. The discussion underscores how Democrats’ resistance to Trump’s policies—even when they improve public safety—reveals a deeper ideological divide, with some voters prioritizing political identity over personal security.

Story #1: Democrats continue to melt down over President Donald Trump's crime crackdown. Gov. J.B.

Story #2: President of the Brownstone Institute, Jeffrey Tucker cuts through the media spin.
