Today we're bringing you another special edition of the podcast--this time, Mosh sits down with The Atlantic's Josh Tyrangiel for a deep-dive into the future of AI, jobs, and the workforce. As we face the possibility of mass job displacement, what should we be worried about, and what can we do to prepare?Josh offers some important context, looking at how AI is moving faster and more broadly than other technological revolutions, why tech CEOs actively want the technology regulated--even as they're facing pressure to show AI profits--and why Congress has struggled to take meaningful action.  Plus, the political risks: the rise of populism, competition with China, and the dangers of a post-truth reality to democratic institutions.Special offer: Mo News listeners can get 25% off a subscription at ⁠TheAtlantic.com/MoNews⁠.Mosheh Oinounou (⁠@mosheh⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

Today's Headlines: Billionaire retail mogul Les Wexner testified before Congress about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — but instead of appearing on Capitol Hill, lawmakers traveled to his Ohio mansion, where the 88-year-old was deposed with family members present. Notably, no Republicans on the House Oversight Committee showed up. Wexner, who once granted Epstein power of attorney, said he was “naive, gullible, and foolish” and claimed he was conned, despite building a multibillion-dollar empire. It wasn't the only billionaire hot seat of the day. Mark Zuckerberg testified in a landmark trial against Meta over allegations the company knowingly made its platforms addictive and harmful to children. The case could influence more than 1,500 pending social media addiction lawsuits. Meanwhile, The New York Times reported Meta has set aside $65 million to back state-level politicians friendly to the AI industry through new super PACs in Illinois and Texas — timing that feels… strategic. In federal agency cleanup news, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration removed a webpage warning against bogus autism “treatments” like chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, calling it routine housekeeping. On the foreign policy front, Donald Trump met with advisers to discuss Iran, as mixed signals emerge from nuclear talks in Geneva and two U.S. aircraft carriers sit in the Mediterranean. The administration also plans to withdraw roughly 1,000 U.S. troops from Syria over the next two months, though officials say the move is “conditions based.” Meanwhile, a potential U.S. arms sale to Taiwan is reportedly in limbo ahead of Trump's planned meeting with Xi Jinping in Beijing. Back home, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the city will resume clearing homeless encampments following at least 19 deaths during a recent cold snap, with outreach led by homeless services rather than police.

ICE, Noem and The War on Free Elections. Ukraine Won the Olympics. Prince Andrew Arrested in England Over Epstein Ties. Hegseth, Tuberville Continue to Embrace Dumb Ideas. Spring Training a Homerun. The drumbeats of war are growing louder. In this solo episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff reports that President Trump has signaled the U.S. military could strike Iran within ten days — with zero congressional authorization, zero public debate, and zero accountability. Congress is rolling over, America's sons and daughters are in harm's way, and the American people deserve a vote. Meanwhile at home, Paul holds nothing back on DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who reportedly pulled a Coast Guard search-and-rescue aircraft away from a missing 21-year-old service member to prioritize a deportation flight, and on ICE's escalating cruelty — including a nine-year-old girl detained in San Antonio for eight months and the heartbreaking death of Ophelia Torres, a 16-year-old who fought cancer while her father was held by ICE. These are not statistics. Paul refuses to let their stories disappear. Pentagon Secretary Pete Hegseth's culture war rages on. Paul breaks down Hegseth's move to block military members from enrolling at Harvard, Duke, Johns Hopkins, and dozens more elite universities — followed by the VA's decision to strip veterans of their post-9/11 GI Bill benefits at those same schools. Denmark, one of America's most steadfast NATO allies, now views the U.S. as an adversary, with 60% of Danes saying so. Paul also covers Venezuela strikes without congressional approval, the staggering losses in Ukraine, and a personal word about the courage of Stephen Colbert and the growing chorus of ordinary Americans pushing back. Paul closes on something good: spring training. He was at Yankees practice in Tampa Bay this morning, where his boys got balls signed by Aaron Judge — proof that community, access, and joy are still very much alive. Episode 445 ends with a clear mission: country over party, people over politics. If you're among the 45% of Americans who call themselves independent, this is your show.

So, the President thinks he's in a Liam Neeson movie, the DOJ thinks "transparency" means hiding 98% of the Epstein files, and Ghislaine Maxwell got a puppy. Happy Wednesday.

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – A classic film meets modern politics as the filibuster takes center stage in today's congressional battles. From 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' to current debates over majority rule, media influence, and youth activism, this discussion examines power, persuasion, and constitutional principles shaping America's future at home and abroad...

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.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

It's Thursday, February 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark British preacher challenges buffer zones around abortion mills A preacher in Britain is challenging the country's abortion buffer zones which effectively censor the Bible. Officials arrested, charged, and convicted Stephen Green for holding a sign with a Bible verse near an abortion mill in 2023. The verse was Psalm 139:13 which says, “For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb.” Green stated, “As a Christian, I should be able to preach freely all over the land. Psalm 139 is about how we all belong to God from conception. Buffer zones and this conviction [are] a direct attack on the Bible and free speech.” Elon Musk endorsed new conservative political party in England Billionaire Elon Musk endorsed a new conservative political party in Britain last week. On Friday, Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe launched the Restore Britain Party. Musk shared the launch video on X which has received nearly 40 million views.  The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and the creeping Islamification of Britain. Rupert Lowe also stated the party will openly recognize the country's Christian heritage.  Listen. LOWE: “Restore Britain will openly recognize the Christian heritage that shaped this country's moral and civic foundation. (applause) Duty, restraint, forgiveness and, most importantly, fairness. These values created a high trust society. “Restore Britain will end the creeping Islamification of Britain. (applause)  Unfettered immigration from Islamic countries will end. (applause) Britain is a Christian country, and under Restore Britain government, it will remain a Christian country.” (applause) Church of England votes against blessing homosexual couples Last week, the Church of England  voted against proposals to allow blessing services for homosexual couples. The General Synod did not shut the door on the issue though, voting to investigate it in the future.  The move keeps the church from performing marriage services and blessing services for people living in unnatural relations. However, the Church of England's rules already allow blessing prayers within regular Sunday services for such couples.  Proverbs 25:26 says, “Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.” Franklin Graham preached in world's southernmost city Evangelist Franklin Graham  preached in Ushuaia, Argentina. It's known as the southernmost city in the world. Listen. GRAHAM: “What makes Ushuaia so special are the people. We love the people. If you can't remember anything else tonight, remember this: God loves you. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take our sins. We deserve death. We're guilty of sin. “Bartimaeus had no hope. There are many of you here tonight. You have no hope. Now, Bartimaeus cried at the right time. Jesus was passing by. The Bible says that ‘God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but he should have everlasting life.' “Will you invite Christ into your heart? Will you trust Him? Come. Come to Jesus.” Hundreds of people turned to Christ through the evangelistic outreach event. Graham wrote on X, “We give God the glory for each one who responded to the invitation to repent of their sins and put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.” Eighty-two percent of South Americans identify as Roman Catholic, but evangelicalism has been growing in recent decades.    Graham also plans to visit Peru next month. 21 states challenge mail-order abortion kill pills In the United States, 21 states and 60 members of Congress are challenging mail-order abortion drugs. Louisiana initiated the case, challenging a Biden-era rule from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The rule removed the in-person dispensing requirement for the abortion drug mifepristone.  Erik Baptist with Alliance Defending Freedom stated, “The Biden FDA's unlawful authorization of mail-order abortion drugs was meant to be a loophole around states that choose to protect life.” 41-year-old mother Olympic bobsledder wins gold (audio Olympic theme song) American Olympic bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor  won her first gold medal on Monday. The 41-year-old mother triumphed in the women's monobob event at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.  She is now the oldest gold medalist in an individual Olympic event. After the victory, she said this on Instagram: “The moment we prayed for. Glory to God.” Norway has won the most gold medals Nearly 2,900 athletes from over 90 countries are competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics.  So far, Norway has won the most gold medals and the most medals overall. In the medal count, Norway is followed by Italy and the U.S. A podium finish can mean big prize money for athletes. A gold medalist from the U.S. can win $38,000. Athletes from Singapore can make the most for winning an individual event at $792,000.   Christian missionaries sharing Christ & Bibles in Olympic crowds And finally, Evangelicals are sharing the Gospel at the Winter Olympic Games this year. Hundreds of Southern Baptists alongside International Mission Board missionaries are joining the crowds to share Christ and distribute Bibles. Karen Herfurth is in Italy with a group from Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama. She said, “This is a chance for Southern Baptists to reach more people and impact more lives! We may never know the difference this makes until we are in Heaven.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 19th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Buenos Aires comes to a halt as workers stage another general strike over labor reforms - with protestors gathering outside Congress, as politicians inside debated. We hear the latest from the ground. US imports continued to outpace exports last year, pushing the country's trade deficit to a record high of about 1.2 trillion dollars. Meanwhile, Canada has narrowed its trade deficit thanks to aerospace exports. We speak to the president a Miami‑based consultancy that looks at trade figures.And Nestle has unveiled its full year results - announcing it was streamlining its operations, including selling its remaining ice cream business to Haagen-Dazs owner Froneri. We hear from someone who represents investors in Nestle as a fund manager with the Lichenstein State Bank and ask if recent baby formula controversy has damaged the company's overall financial position.(Picture: Demonstrators take part in a protest outside Argentina's National Congress on the day lawmakers discuss labor reforms proposed by President Javier Milei's in Buenos Aires, Argentina February 19, 2026.

The silence surrounding Stacey Plaskett's lawsuit by Epstein survivors exposes the staggering hypocrisy of both lawmakers and the legacy media. Politicians who pound the table about justice and accountability fall mute when the accusations land inside their own chamber. Journalists who dissect every lurid detail of Epstein's life suddenly find no headlines when survivors point to a sitting member of Congress. This selective outrage isn't oversight—it's complicity. Survivors are abandoned the moment their stories threaten insiders, and the system shows once again that accountability is conditional, not principled.That selective accountability corrodes credibility and turns justice into theater. By politicizing the scandal, lawmakers use survivors as pawns while letting the real villains—Epstein's network of enablers—slip quietly back into the shadows. The result is a collapse of trust: citizens see investigations as performance, predators learn power protects power, and survivors are betrayed all over again. Epstein may be dead and Maxwell imprisoned, but the system that shielded them is alive and well—sustained by cowardice, silence, and the hypocrisy of institutions that pretend to defend justice while practicing selective blindness.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Glenn starts the show by discussing the latest happenings in Iran. Are we close to a major war with Iran? Glenn brings in his chief researcher, Jason Buttrill, who breaks down the latest moves by the Trump administration and what they mean for conflict in the Middle East. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) joins to discuss the recent Texas attorney general primary debate, the controversy surrounding a Florida member of Congress, and the partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security. U.S. Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley joins to discuss how newly unsealed Nixon testimony uncovers how the military establishment spied on and undermined his presidency. Was this the origin of the deep state? Glenn tells an untold story about Abraham Lincoln, then plays one of his new songs that brings the story to life. On Ash Wednesday, Glenn breaks down the history of the tradition and why it remains a critical ritual for millions of Catholics. Did CBS bend the knee to the FCC by refusing to air a Stephen Colbert interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D)? Glenn sets the record straight on what actually happened and lays out why CBS' guidance was legally sound. The CEO of Anthropic admitted he's no longer sure if his company's AI chatbot, Claude, is conscious. Is it conscious or just incredibly good at imitation? Learn more about your ad choices.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Liberty's Voice Vodcast launched today and it's different from radio or TV. Today's first episode focused on a detailed, phrase-by-phrase breakdown of the Declaration of Independence, providing historical context and highlighting its unique, inspiring, and exceptional nature as the foundation of the nation. And contrasted it with the core ideological principles of Marxism, noting how Marxism was adapted into an Americanized form by the progressive movement in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Also, there's confusion about the current situation with Iran, we initially thought military action was imminent but recent reports of another meeting in two weeks have created uncertainty. Iran continues repressing and killing its opposition while tightening its police state control. Any deal lifting sanctions would allow the regime to survive indefinitely, gain funds to strengthen its military and Islamist control, and lie about compliance, similar to North Korea. President Trump understands that if he does attack, he must win decisively. Later, a massive raw sewage spill is occurring in the Potomac River due to a break in a six-foot pipe on the Maryland side, dumping millions to hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into the river flowing through Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. This poses serious health risks, environmental damage, and threats to people, wildlife, the regional water supply, and potentially the Atlantic Ocean. This is Democrat mismanagement—particularly by Maryland's Democrat leaders—for causing the crisis. Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress have defunded FEMA forcing its employees to coordinate cleanup efforts without pay. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Trump sought $163 billion in cuts, including slashing the EPA by 54 percent, HUD by 44 percent, and the CDC by 41 percent, but even his most loyal House allies let the effort stall under the cover of the budget process. A separate bipartisan attempt to shore up Obamacare subsidies for 24 million Americans also fizzled, with Rep.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down how censoring Colbert backfired on CBS — after Texas state Rep. James Talarico's scheduled appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was abruptly pulled off the air. Is this corporate media caving to Trump-era pressure — and is Paramount the real loser? Then: the DOJ says it's done releasing the Epstein files — but reports suggest the public has seen just 2% of them. If that's true, who's still exposed, and why is the department claiming mission accomplished? Plus: a DHS funding showdown is underway in Congress. With ICE funding already secured, and public trust in government near historic lows, which party blinks first? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Meanwhile, Congress is set to depose the former CEO of Victoria's Secret over his ties to Epstein. Then, major price hikes are on the way, as companies big and small blame high tariffs. Plus, Meta's Zuckerberg is set to take the stand in a landmark trial looking to hold big tech accountable for harming kids.

Pam Bondi must go as Attorney General. Whether by resignation, removal and replacement, or impeachment, Pam Bondi must go. She can no longer be allowed to be the Attorney General for the United States . Bondi must go not just because she showed complete and utter contempt for Congress in her recent testimony, Bondi must go because she showed complete and utter contempt, disregard, and disrespect for the victims of Epstein's crimes. At the recent House Judiciary Committee hearing, Bondi literally would not turn and look at or acknowledge the enduring pain of the victims of Epstein's crimes. When the survivors were asked how many of them had requested to meet with the Department of Justice to address the crimes that were committed against them, each and every one raised their hand. When asked how many got to meet with the DOJ, every one of them lowered their hand. Bondi turned her back on the victims of Epstein's crimes. Bondi literally turned her back on the victims of Epstein's crimes in the House Judiciary committee hearing, and she figuratively turned her back on the victims of Epstein's crimes at all other times.Yes, Pam Bondi must go as Attorney General.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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 episode of The Wright Report, Bryan takes on the growing problem of propaganda in America, from Stephen Colbert's clash with the FCC over equal-time rules to media framing in high-profile immigration cases and a former Trump prosecutor now running for Congress as a Democrat. Bryan explains how headlines shape public perception, why critical details often appear deep in articles most readers never reach, and how partisan incentives inside journalism fuel what he calls a century-old tradition of influence over information. He also offers three practical tools to spot bias and navigate the era of Fake News. The episode then pivots global, with surprising battlefield gains for Ukraine tied to Elon Musk's Starlink restrictions, fresh evidence that Hamas is rebuilding military positions inside Gaza hospitals, encouraging signs of political revival in Venezuela, and breakthrough research on a new oxygen-delivering gel that could transform wound healing for soldiers, diabetics, and the elderly.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: February 18 2026 Wright Report, Stephen Colbert FCC equal time Brendan Carr, James Talarico interview CBS dispute, Seamus Culleton ICE media framing, JP Cooney Jack Smith prosecutor Congress run, propaganda Fake News history William Randolph Hearst, Ukraine Starlink Russia drone squeeze, Zaporizhzhia counterattack gains, Hamas Nasser Hospital command post, Gaza guerrilla strategy Israel, Venezuela protests Delcy Rodriguez, wound healing oxygen gel California battery hydrogel choline

Reviving the Citizen Soldier Ethos. War Face vs Society. Remembering the Founder's Vision. Lessons Learned in Ukraine and Afghanistan. Army Ranger Adrian Bonenberger has just thrown his hat in the ring for Governor of Connecticut — as an independent. In a wide-ranging conversation with host Paul Rieckhoff, Bonenberger unveils the centerpiece of his campaign: reviving the Connecticut State Guard as a voluntary, citizen-soldier force that would decentralize defense, create meaningful service opportunities for ordinary Americans, and counter the overreach of a federal government that has increasingly turned law enforcement into a militarized tool against its own citizens. The two combat veterans pull no punches on ICE — comparing its enforcement culture to the military's "warrior ethos" and explaining why deploying a kill-or-be-killed mindset against civilians is not just dangerous, but a fundamental betrayal of the founders' vision. Bonenberger draws on his experiences training troops in Afghanistan and volunteer fighters in Ukraine to make the case that America's civil-military divide is a national security vulnerability — and that a voluntary state guard is the constitutional remedy hiding in plain sight. Bonenberger also reflects on post-industrial New England, why Congress is effectively unfixable, ballot access hurdles facing independent candidates, and why he believes the governor's office is where real change can happen on day one. About Adrian Bonenberger: Adrian Bonenberger is an Army Ranger, Afghanistan combat veteran, journalist, and author. He co-founded American Veterans for Ukraine alongside Paul Rieckhoff and Bonnie Carroll and has lectured at Springfield College in Massachusetts. He is now running for Governor of Connecticut as an independent. -WATCH video of this episode on our YouTube channel. -Learn more and support Adrian's candidacy for Governor of Connecticut here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – A congressional hearing that quickly devolved into a shouting match, highlighting the deep political tensions surrounding the Epstein saga. Instead of careful deliberation, the hearing featured heated exchanges, personal attacks, and moments that left many observers questioning whether the focus had drifted far from accountability...

The Department of Justice has faced backlash from members of Congress and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein following the release of millions of documents with inconsistent redactions of key names and details. On Today's Show: Vicky Ward, investigative journalist and author of books including Kushner, Inc. (St. Martin's Press, 2019) and, with James Patterson, The Idaho Four: An American Tragedy (Little, Brown and Company, 2025), and David Enrich, deputy investigations editor for The New York Times, talk about some of the recent developments in the Epstein case and its growing international fallout. 

Political activist Riley Gaines calls in to talk about transgender-related controversies, recent violent incidents involving transgender individuals, and what they describe as Democrats and media using labels like “racist” and “misogynistic” to silence criticism. Gaines argues that the “affirmation model” harms children, contends the suicide narrative is used to pressure parents, and says some activists are taught that “words are violence,” which she believes can justify real violence. Sid and Riley also discuss parental rights, with Gaines speaking as a new mother about government overreach, and review progress on keeping men out of women's sports, citing 27 states' laws, Trump executive orders, and the need for Congress to act while naming states they say are defying the orders. The conversation ends with criticism of Olympic athletes who disparage the U.S. and of reporters asking athletes political questions, which Gaines says is baiting them to attack Trump rather than focusing on sport.

The silence surrounding Stacey Plaskett's lawsuit by Epstein survivors exposes the staggering hypocrisy of both lawmakers and the legacy media. Politicians who pound the table about justice and accountability fall mute when the accusations land inside their own chamber. Journalists who dissect every lurid detail of Epstein's life suddenly find no headlines when survivors point to a sitting member of Congress. This selective outrage isn't oversight—it's complicity. Survivors are abandoned the moment their stories threaten insiders, and the system shows once again that accountability is conditional, not principled.That selective accountability corrodes credibility and turns justice into theater. By politicizing the scandal, lawmakers use survivors as pawns while letting the real villains—Epstein's network of enablers—slip quietly back into the shadows. The result is a collapse of trust: citizens see investigations as performance, predators learn power protects power, and survivors are betrayed all over again. Epstein may be dead and Maxwell imprisoned, but the system that shielded them is alive and well—sustained by cowardice, silence, and the hypocrisy of institutions that pretend to defend justice while practicing selective blindness.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
