Podcasts about Crackdown

In October of 2024, BX Investigates (bxwrites@substack.com) joined us to shine some light on "The Darkest Corner of The Internet", a dive into violent, Satanic, neo-nazi groups who prey on children and a other easily exploited demographics through the internet. Since then we have had an election, a change of guard at the DOJ, and suddenly a lot of media and law enforcement attention paid to the seedy online group known as '764'. Tonight we're going to talk about the latest in the story, as BX's work is right in the middle of it all...and the we open the lines.

In this fiery commentary, the host blasts judicial overreach, alleged deep state sabotage, and Republican inaction—while praising Florida AG James Uthmeier and Gov. DeSantis for defying a federal judge to keep arresting illegal immigrants. The episode frames this as a pivotal battle in the fight to preserve red states from turning blue through mass immigration and lawfare tactics against Trump allies.

From the ICE arrest and detention of pro-Palestinian organizers to the mass revocation of student visas to the deportation of hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador, the Trump administration's assault on noncitizens has been as headline-grabbing as it has been brutal. But even though the sheer speed and spectacle of the offensive makes it appear new, many of the legal and enforcement tools at play are old, with the administration drawing on Cold War-era laws, War on Terror-era agencies, and Obama- and Biden-era precedents. In this episode of On the Nose, we speak with the deportation defense lawyer Sophia Elena Gurulé and immigration reporter Tanvi Misra about the ongoing clampdowns, where they are following precedents and where they are setting them, and the stakes of understanding these historical continuities.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Texts Mentioned and Further Resources:“Mapping Who Lives in Border Patrol's ‘100-Mile Zone,'” Tanvi Misra, Bloomberg“The Origins of American Immigration Detention,” Tanvi Misra, Bloomberg“Civil War-Era Parallels to the Sanctuary City Movement,” Tanvi Misra, Bloomberg“If You Build It, ICE Will Fill It: The Link Between Detention Capacity and ICE Arrests,” Detention Watch“Trump says he wants to deport US citizens to El Salvador,” Gaby Del Valle, The VergeBorder and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism by Harsha WaliaUnbuild Walls: Why Immigrant Justice Needs Abolition by Silky Shah

Labour's Ayesha Verrall says tobacco's unique harm is why industry links to Government need tighter checks. She's put forward a Members' Bill designed to ban any linked people working on tobacco policy. Labour hopes it'll have cross-party support. Verrall says other products, like vaping, don't need such strong restrictions - but tobacco's incredibly deadly. "It kills half the people that use it - we don't have other products like that. So that's why we need this specific focus on tobacco." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Customs Minister says using cash can help hide exploitation. A Ministerial Advisory Group has released its second report - criticising our response to modern crime and money laundering. It shows cash and assets seized by police total just 4.2 percent of the $1.6 billion criminals make each year. Casey Costello says cash payments also aren't good for workers. "In terms of protection of workers and assuring that deductions are being done properly and pay is being managed properly and that they are getting all their entitlements - the cash process makes it very difficult concerning those things."

In January, Katie Tangey was killed in a Melbourne house fire believed to be part of the ongoing “tobacco wars”. Police say she was an innocent victim and the arsonists got the wrong address. The tobacco wars are driven by rival gangs fighting over a black market worth billions, and have been marked by firebombings, extortion and murder. While headlines focus on the violence, skyrocketing government taxes on tobacco have long been fuelling the fire behind the scenes.

In this fiery episode, Tara exposes the hypocrisy of Democrats slamming Trump for reinstating student loan payments—when he's simply following Supreme Court orders Biden defied. But that's just the beginning. She then unpacks Tulsi Gabbard's bombshell release of Biden's classified 2021 domestic terrorism plan, revealing how the government surveilled and targeted Americans for “concerning noncriminal behavior”—including hashtags, flags, and religious beliefs. From debanking conservatives to FBI surveillance at school board meetings, this is a chilling look at a censorship regime gone rogue—all while actual criminals like MS-13 gang members were let go.

A chilling look at the growing global machinery of censorship and financial control, this conversation dives into declassified plans from the Biden administration targeting Americans for their political and religious views—flagging symbols like "2A" and using government influence to de-bank and silence dissenters. Meanwhile, figures like Nina Jankowicz and EU institutions leverage laws like the Digital Services Act to suppress opposition speech overseas, with chilling implications for free expression even in the U.S. From Silicon Valley investors turning on Democrats to billionaires under fire, the message is clear: speak out, and risk being erased—digitally and financially.

Nina Jankowicz—remember her as the would-be head of Biden's Disinformation Board?—is back, but this time she's testifying before the European Union, urging them to clamp down on American free speech. Tara breaks down Jankowicz's calls to “hold the line” against “American autocracy,” a veiled push for global censorship of conservative voices under the guise of fighting Russian disinformation. From billion-dollar EU fines aimed at Elon Musk to the weaponization of Europe's DSA law against American political discourse, this episode exposes how international institutions—and familiar censorship advocates—are working to silence dissent worldwide.

On this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Marty Makary with the FDA has announced that the government will be banning petroleum-based chemicals from the American food supply. Mostly, these chemicals will include food dyes. Then, California is attempting to release an illegal alien who was responsible for killing two teenagers while he was driving drunk. Border czar Tom Homan is intervening to keep this from happening. Next, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has announced that he will not be seeking re-election. He is not the first Democrat to bow out. Could it be because the Democrat approval rating is at a historic low? Finally, a case has made its way to the Supreme Court questioning whether parents have the right to block the school from teaching their elementary school children about sexual activity.   Today's Guests: Sara is joined by the host of "The Breanna Morello Show,” Breanna Morello, and Blaze Media digital strategist Logan Hall.    Today's Sponsors:   Birch Gold: Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401(k) into a GOLD IRA for no money out of pocket!

Much of the activism seen on college campuses last year in protest of Israel's war in Gaza is now under increased scrutiny as part of a policy that the Trump administration says is aimed at eliminating antisemitism, particularly on American campuses. The effort has led to the targeting of non-citizen students over their past pro-Palestinian activism, resulting in students losing visas and several high-profile arrests. These incidents have created a climate of uncertainty at many colleges and universities, leaving some students feeling increasingly silenced and fearful.
