Subsidising their rubbish habits is costing local ratepayers about $600,000 a year - but that is all about to change. Hauraki mayor Toby Adams spoke to Lisa Owen.

Tara breaks down what she calls the biggest scandal of the Biden administration — Project Arctic Frost — a secret plan to silence, spy on, and imprison key Republican leaders, media allies, and grassroots organizations. With revelations of Judge Boesberg's hidden subpoenas, wiretaps on GOP officials, and a coordinated attempt to dismantle the conservative ecosystem, this explosive episode uncovers how close America came to a political purge. Tara also reports on the dangerous rise of cartel influence inside the U.S., the shocking targeting of ICE Chief Greg Bovino, and why even CNN is turning on the Democrats as their shutdown strategy collapses. The scandal they hoped you'd never hear — until now. In one of her most jaw-dropping episodes yet, Tara exposes “Arctic Frost” — an alleged covert plan under the Biden administration to cripple the GOP through secret subpoenas, wiretaps, and targeted prosecutions of Republican officials, journalists, and organizations. She outlines how this “plan B” would have jailed political opponents and silenced dissent had Trump not won re-election. The episode then shifts to the chilling story of ICE Chief Greg Bovino, reportedly targeted by cartel-linked threats and a judge's reckless rulings. Finally, Tara highlights the Democrats' disastrous government shutdown — so unpopular that even CNN's Jake Tapper pushed back live on air. It's a high-stakes look at corruption, courage, and America's fight for survival.

The Trump administration has centred on Tren de Aragua – a Venezuelan prison gang – as a justification for cracking down on Venezuelan immigrants, and for several attacks on boats in the Caribbean Sea. When President Trump designated the gang a Foreign Terror Organisation, and invoked a 1798 law that allows presidents to swiftly deport citizens of enemy countries, civil rights groups accused his government of using these measures as a way to deport Venezuelans without due process. Trump has argued he's acting to "eliminate the presence of all foreign gangs and criminal networks bringing devastating crime to US soil". We speak to Jonathan Blitzer, staff writer at the New Yorker, who has been reporting on how Tren de Aragua became a major focus of Trump's domestic and foreign policy.

1. Christian Persecution in Nigeria Senator Cruz highlights what he describes as a massive and underreported crisis involving the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Key points include: Over 50,000 Christians killed since 2009. 18,000 churches and 2,000 schools burned, allegedly by extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS in West Africa. Accusations that some Nigerian government officials are complicit or negligent in addressing the violence. Cruz has introduced legislation to designate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and impose sanctions on individual officials involved in or ignoring the persecution. He criticizes the mainstream media for failing to cover the issue adequately. Public figures like Bill Maher and Van Jones are cited as supporting the claim that this is a planned genocide and that media silence is a moral failure. 2. Christian Persecution in China This section shifts to a similar story: The Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown on Christianity, particularly targeting Pastor Jin Mingri and the Zion Church. Cruz introduced a bipartisan resolution with Senator Chris Coons condemning China’s actions and urging the release of imprisoned pastors. He emphasizes the need for economic and diplomatic pressure, especially with President Trump’s upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping. The resolution calls for respect for religious freedom and highlights China’s long-standing designation as a “Country of Particular Concern” by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. 3. DOJ Surveillance of Republican Senators Cruz discusses revelations that: The Biden DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed phone records of nine Republican senators and one House member in connection with the January 6 investigation. Cruz’s phone records were requested from AT&T, but the company refused to comply, citing constitutional protections under the Speech and Debate Clause. He frames this as political persecution and a dangerous abuse of power, likening it to Watergate. He calls for Congressional hearings and transparency to prevent future surveillance of elected officials. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
