In November 2025, the SEC announced that it would no longer review corporate no-action requests under Rule 14a-8, effectively forcing these matters into court—an expensive and lengthy process.Sen.

And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we're going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”To Alexandra Schiff, ex WSJ reporter and daughter of Tom Wolfe, who wrote a semi adoring Silicon Valley book in 2017 holding Peter Thiel as a god (and now sits on this board with Thiel), and to Lauren Friedman Stat, who only seems to post Palantir sizzle reels and as best I can tell is married to a “David Stat” who is the name of a “Director” (not on the board?) of Palantir who is in a Form 4 for selling stock:What the fuck are you doing. Do you read what this dude says? Are you that cucked to the tech bro elite you can't stop and say, “Hey, Alex, maybe tone down the suggestion you're trying to stop female Democrats from voting?”War on Women: part 2Glass Lewis recommends voting against Starbucks director over ‘board-level E&S oversight'Because Starbucks disbanded the Environmental, Partner and Community Impact committee of the board - launched in 2023, dissolved in November 2025Committee launched after majority supported SHP to focus on labor issuesJorgen Knudstorp and Daniel Servitje, the OTHER committee members, somehow escape entirelyKnudstorp is the Lead independent director, Niccol is the CEO and chair of the board (yes, chair)But instead of targeting Niccol or even Knudstorp, Glass Lewis targeted the female chair of the committee… ONLYIf the CEO gets to be chair - doesn't the CEO have to take responsibility for board overall? If you have an LID, are they accountable?? Why would the chair of a committee be target without the chair of the board or LID? Can a committee chair dissolve their own committee??Cracker Barrel - the scapegoat was the person of color who had “diversity” in their job description, not the longest tenured director who was also chair of the board but was a white guy - and Glass Lewis suggested voting out the brown dudeWar on Women: part 3 speed roundDOGE, DEI, and climate changeBlack women were disproportionately impacted by DOGE cuts. A year later, they're rebuilding careers for themselves and each otherI Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For ThemselvesOver the course of a six hour long or so deposition, Justin Fox, a former investment banker turned DOGE bro, refused to define what he believes counts as DEI; admitted he used ChatGPT to scan government contracts for terms such as “Black” and “homosexual” but not “white” or “caucasian;” and said that one of the grants he helped slash was “not for the benefit of humankind” before walking that claim back.Why ‘bringing your whole self to work' is a trap, especially for womenFormer Goldman Sachs CEO says DEI programs are ‘counterproductive,' arguing ‘you're branding the people in that program'Climate change: Women face worst impacts as funding support falls shortIn 2025, a UN women report warned that under a worst-case climate scenario, up to 158.3 million more women and girls may live in extreme poverty globally as a result of climate change by 2050Headliniest of the WeekDR: Shell CEO's Pay Jumps 60% Despite Profit Drop and Fatal AccidentsDR: Jack Dorsey Defends Wearing “Love” Hat While Firing 4,000 Employees in Pivot to AI: "I wanted to approach the whole situation with love."MM: Ozempic mania has even Olive Garden and The Cheesecake Factory cutting back on portion sizesMM: Cracker Barrel sales, traffic continue to slump months after failed rebrandWho Won the Week?DR: National Museum of the American Indian and the coffee at CII, was actually pretty not grossMM: The Council for Institutional Investors Spring Conference, who got to witness Proxy Countdown livePredictionsDR: CII loses our phone numberMM: The women start the uprising now:

Plus, the cost of owning a car is exploding, and golf cart crashes are rampant in Florida. Did you know camels have beauty pageants? And camels cheating is rampant. If you want a clean airline seat, you're going to have to pay for it. Hey guys, there's a new thing called Baldmaxx, and some men are loving it, plus Cracker Barrel has seen better days and they clearly don't know how to fix it. Ladies, what's the one thing you wish guys would stop doing, plus, I give you the best and worst states for women. Britney Spears has seen better days, and her family is worried, plus have you heard of the friendship shelf theory? It's stupid and so is this show.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including that McDonald's CEO video, Cracker Barrel's ongoing sales woes, and new data that shows red flags for full-service restaurants. First up is the Big Arch video controversy, in which McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski was skewered for posting a video of himself eating the brand's new burger that came across as inauthentic to many. Sam and Alicia discuss the response from consumers and competitors alike, noting how many brands — Burger King specifically — raced to capitalize on the faux pas. Was this a mistake from McDonald's, or could it be that no news is bad news? Next up is Cracker Barrel, which reported that same store sales in its most recent quarter fell 7.1% as the brand continues to fight its way back from its own controversy last summer, when it reversed a controversial rebrand. Cracker Barrel claims there are reasons to be optimistic; do Sam and Alicia agree? Then they tackle a new report from Black Box Intelligence, which noted that 9% of full-service restaurants are at risk of closing in 2026. Sam and Alicia break down the numbers and why they think restaurateurs could indeed be at risk of failing this year. Finally, we share a conversation between managing editor Leigh Anne Zinsmeister and Darren Spicer, who just sold his Clutch Coffee brand to Dutch Bros.For more on these stories: Big Arch, big buzz: McDonald's turns viral moment into marketing opportunityCracker Barrel sees slow improvement despite continued traffic slump in Q29% of full-service restaurants are at risk for closure in 2026

Cracker Barrel's recovery is inching forward. Del Taco's new owners want the old Del Taco back. And Chick-fil-A is launching its spring menu next week.

This week's RV Podcast News Edition tackles five stories that cover a lot of ground, starting with a topic the rest of the RV media won't touch: the growing RV homelessness crisis.From Michigan lawmakers debating whether campgrounds can serve as housing solutions, to San Francisco banning large vehicles from city streets, to the quiet erosion of overnight parking at places like Cracker Barrel, this issue is reshaping public policy in ways that affect every RVer on the road.We also dig into a major CNBC investigation revealing how RVs have become a housing safety net in Silicon Valley, where even full-time workers are living in aging rigs on public streets because they have no other option.On the good news front, the National Park Service has officially dropped timed-entry reservation requirements at Yosemite, Arches, and Glacier for 2026. If those parks have been on your list, the reservation window is gone. We break down what that means practically and what to expect when the summer crowds arrive.We also have the full story on Leigh Tiffin's sudden resignation from Tiffin Motorhomes and his move to luxury dealer group NIRVC. He finally broke his silence this week, but the timeline tells a more complicated story: a 20-month negotiation happening behind the scenes, a plant closure affecting 140 workers, and Thor quietly consolidating control over what was once a true family brand.And we close with a look at why 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest RV travel years on record - and why you need to make sure your rig is ready before the campgrounds fill up. Our free Spring Prep Workshop is March 12th at 7 PM Eastern. Details and your free Spring Maintenance Book are at RVLifestyle.com/workshop.

Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 5 is here! Can I Borrow Your Burro? Arizona From Oatman To Ash Fork Route 66 and Oatman Attractions Bubba and Randy discussed the geography and attractions along Route 66, particularly around Oatman, Arizona. They talked about the Sidewinder Road, a paved but winding route leading to Oatman, known for its mining history and now primarily gift shops. Randy described the town's population decline and its current status as a tourist destination for its burros. They also discussed the nearby Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, where camping is free for up to 14 days. Randy highlighted Kingman as a thriving town with a milder climate compared to other areas in Arizona, and mentioned that they would ask Beth for her thoughts on the matter. Kingman's Route 66 Strategic Success The discussion focused on Kingman's success as a Route 66 destination despite the highway's decertification, with the town's strategic location at a major crossroads and its ability to blend modern amenities with Route 66 nostalgia being key factors. The conversation also touched on the historical evolution of rail routes in the area and Kingman's current amenities, including multiple Starbucks locations and a Cracker Barrel. The participants discussed plans to cover the section of Route 66 from the Colorado River to Ash Fork in the next two weeks, with Flagstaff as a midpoint destination. Route 66 Town Revitalization Challenges The discussion focused on the historical and current state of small towns along Route 66, particularly Truxton and Hackberry. Randy described Truxton as a ghost town with limited businesses, noting that the last motel owner had to close due to lack of traffic and her husband's death. They discussed Hackberry's transformation into a Route 66 gift shop, with the owner maintaining its unique charm over the past 19 years. Bubba mentioned missing a musical saw shop near Hackberry, and Randy shared details about an animal rescue in Valentine, operated by a former Vegas animal act performer who switched to rescuing mistreated animals. Route 66 Landmarks and Attractions The discussion focused on various landmarks and attractions along Route 66, including the Keepers of the Wild Nature Park, a non-profit that rescues exotic animals, and the Hualapai Indian Reservation, which manages the Grand Canyon's Western Rim and related tourism activities. They discussed the Grand Canyon Caverns and the historical mining of bat guano for nitrates in the 1950s. Bubba mentioned an urban legend about the origin of the name "Antares" in Star Trek, which supposedly came from a motel along Route 66. The conversation concluded with a reminder that listeners should verify the accuracy of the discussed information and correct any inaccuracies in the group or on the Facebook page. Route 66 Preservation Efforts - Interview With Mauricio Perez Randy shared the story of , Mauricio Perez, the son-in-law of Angel Delgadillo, known as the "Guardian Angel" of Route 66. Angel, a barber and musician from Seligman, Arizona, played a crucial role in preserving Route 66 after the federal government stopped funding its maintenance in the 1980s. He initiated efforts to declare the route historic, which helped revitalize the town and its economy. Currently, Angel is focused on raising funds for a $200,000 sign to draw more visitors to Seligman, and he sells handcrafted birdhouses to contribute to this cause. The group discussed the potential for Route 66 to be included in the national park system, which could happen around its centennial anniversary in November.

How the Elite Consoled Jeffrey Epstein Over His Crimes.A Revolt Inside Paul Weiss Over the Epstein Files Took Down Brad KarpOn Wednesday, an exclusive group of 10 or so Paul Weiss partners met unbeknown to their longtime chairman, Brad Karp, to discuss whether he could continue to lead the law firm.The partners, who manage the firm and refer to themselves as the “Deciding Group,” were grappling with the release of new emails suggesting Karp had a more extensive relationship with Jeffrey Epstein than they realized, including in the months before the convicted sex offender's death. Karp led one of the country's biggest law firms for 18 years and had survived a maelstrom less than a year ago when he struck a first-of-its-kind settlement with President Trump on his firm's behalf. He wouldn't survive a second controversy as the firm's leader.

Lucas issued Charge No. 551-2024-04996, alleging that Respondent NIKE may have violated Title VII “by engaging in a pattern or practice of disparate treatment against White employees, applicants, and training program participants in hiring, promotion, demotion, or separation decisions (including selection for layoffs); internship programs; and mentoring, leadership development, and other career development programs.”This is crazy to me: EEOC counsel signatory GWENDOLYN YOUNG REAMS - a black woman who signed off on this lawsuit was the subject of an entire article on the amazing power of Title VII for the civil rights movement in July of 2024. Reams has been at EEOC since 1972, and Biden made her acting general counsel.Trump took over, appointed Andrea Lucas as chair who DEMOTED Reams to Associate General Counsel to make room for Catherine Eschbach, a Federalist Society who has SIX YEARS EXPERIENCE AT A LAW FIRM who got her Bachelor's in 2010 and her law degree in 2015 (a whole 10 years experience!), but had this to say upon her appointment: “President Trump made clear in his executive order on eliminating DEI that EO 11246 had facilitated federal contractors adopting DEI practices out of step with the requirements of our Nation's civil rights laws and that, with the rescission of EO 11246, the President mandates federal contractors wind those practices down within 90 days. As director, I'm committed to carrying out President Trump's executive orders, which will restore a merit-based system to provide all workers with equal opportunity.”All the other lawyers signing were white, and I can only guess Reams had no choice but to sign unless she decided to do MLK dirty 60 years after seeing him in collegeBut literally, the EEOC discriminated against a black lawyer who was in charge to put white lawyers in charge to bring discrimination cases against companiesNOT TO MENTION, here is Nike's workforce composition in 2024:57% white, 50% male overall65% white, 55% males for management77% white, 62% male for leadershipThe EEOC workforce demographics as of 2022, when it was WOKEST:60% white, 56% maleNIKE IS WHITER THAN THE EEOC FROM MANAGEMENT UPBlackrock and every Wall Street bank that quit Net Zero AllianceRather than sticking it out and fighting, knowing that you were correct and legally able to invest however you wanted and associate with anyone you wanted, you all cowered when Texas passed the first law saying you “discriminate against” fossil fuels and generated an arbitrary “black list”Now, this: Texas anti-ESG law declared unconstitutional by US judgeIn a decision made public on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Alan Albright said the law violated First Amendment free-speech protections because it punished businesses for speaking about fossil fuels and associating with organizations that oppose fossil fuels.First Amendment! The very first one! You didn't even have to read ALL the amendments to figure out which Stewardship whiningThe UK Investment Association stewardship working group, a group that included Aegon, BlackRock, Fidelity, M&G, Schroders, Artemis, CCLA, Legal and General, and Royal London Asset Management, put out a paper: Realigning Stewardship: Delivering sustainable value through StewardshipThe group wants you to know some things about stewardship, specifically:Stuff happening in the future is too far away for us to care now: “The need for realism over what stewardship can achieve – There are potential time horizon trade-offs between achieving real world outcomes on sustainability themes such as climate change and delivering financial returns to clients. These trade-offs need to be actively considered. Additionally, there are concerns that targeted sustainability goals may not always be realistic, and that government and other stakeholders may have developed unrealistic expectations of stewardship's capacity to deliver systemic change.”Translation: if we actually invested for climate and were stewards of climate in our portfolios given that climate change will totally fuck up everything we know and invest in, we'd have to give up on, like, AI and oil and stuff… we can't really do that because there's too much money and stonks and rockets and whatever, so we'll give up on climate, but just like, for NOW, later we'll fix it by asking nicelyDespite historically having voted 96% in favor of virtually EVERYTHING: “There is an undue focus on voting as a barometer of good stewardship, which does not reflect the role of all stewardship mechanisms.”Translation: we get no credit for talking about this for a decade and voting for everything - like, NONE. Stewardship teams are seen as cost centers, not alpha generation. But we should get credit for talking about stuff in the hopes that things change over a long period of time.We are poor: “There are different costs associated with the process of stewardship for both investors and companies, who have finite resources.”Translation: I mean, PLENTY of resources for CEO pay that outstrips inflation and massive AI investments to displace workers and stuff, but you know… poor.OMG, stop whining… the vote IS THE MECHANISM YOU'VE NEVER USED! Your owners WANT YOU TO and you vote with management at a higher rate than people in the US believe in the moon landing!Headliniest of the WeekDR: The meritocracy is officially a lie: Elon Musk's hiring advice: 'Don't look at the résumé — just believe your interaction'DR: It's official, we are right about everything: Disney's Bob Iger achieves an essential feat for outgoing CEOs: giving his successor a clean slateMM: Hillary Clinton wants testimony on Jeffrey Epstein in public: 'Let's stop the games'MM: My neighborhood is pushing back against sidewalk delivery robots. The fight's coming to your town nextPicture of the week from inside a Cracker Barrel, which is getting its mojo back:Who Won the Week?DR: The Epstein Bros (see Matt's winner)MM: White men (again) - I am already filing a lawsuit against that girl in high school who wouldn't make out with me for discriminating against white men with ugly glasses and long noses. It's racism of the highest order.PredictionsDR: The best we can hope for are shareholder derivative lawsuits against boards who failed to oversee the "reputational risk” of their Epstein tech bro directors and CEOs. MM: When I saw this: Elon Musk says it's hard to convince engineers with families to move to SpaceX's 'technology monastery' in Texas, it was clear: Elon Musk will re-reincorporate SpaceX in a really nice suburb somewhere near or around San Francisco in an effort to re-re-rehire talent (who may actually have families), after which a single white man who moved to Texas to join SpaceX will sue the company for discrimination against single white men who move to Texas, forcing Musk to re-re-reincorporate in Texas again.

Cracker Barrel cracks down on employee dining, 'why are they being forced to eat at Cracker Barrel?' asks Chris. 'The money is staying in house,' explains Chris. A Minnesota judge is looking into ICE employees not following court orders, and a DOJ attorney asks for a contempt of court order for herself

Chris & Amy discuss the Billikens win over Davidson last night, are they they best sports story in St Louis?; should Plaza Frontenac implement some paid parking spots?; Rock Hill residents complain about pot smell; Did you see this? Why is Cracker Barrel forcing employees to eat at the restaurant.

Hour 1 opens with reaction to the SLU Billikens' win over Davidson and whether they are the best sports story in St. Louis right now, followed by debates on paid parking at Plaza Frontenac, Rock Hill residents complaining about marijuana odors, and why Cracker Barrel is requiring employees to eat at the restaurant. Hour 2 includes a response from friend of the show Stephen Richer to Speaker Mike Johnson's election fraud claims, a discussion on whether crying is actually good for your health, a phone call from Corey Miller reporting from the Winter Olympic Games in Italy, and more talk about smells around St. Louis. Hour 3 features an in studio conversation with Stéphane Denève of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, previewing February events including a two week Mozart festival, Amadeus with live orchestra, and The Magic Flute, along with updates on Powell Hall renovations and the upcoming Eternal Tina Turner tribute on February 15. The show wraps with a debate on reserved parking and ADA requirements, The Midday Midlife featuring Dr. Willie Jolley on wealth vs. being rich and smart money habits, and a final discussion on whether the Super Bowl should stay on Sunday or move to a different day.

Cracker Barrel food review - tourist California, Rocklin

Send us a textOutrage online isn't always organic—and when it's engineered, it can hit hard. We sit down with crisis and risk consultant Phil Borremans to expose the mechanics of rage farming: coordinated attacks that use psychology, algorithms, and incentives to inflame audiences, distort brand updates, and turn a minor moment into a market-moving storm. From bots and fake accounts to “coordinated amplification,” Phil maps how bad actors build momentum, trigger engagement spikes, and push fringe narratives into mainstream feeds.We reference high-profile cases like Bud Light and Cracker Barrel to illustrate how synthetic engagement can drive real reputational and financial fallout.Most importantly, we outline a practical defense. Phil details how to retool monitoring from brand mentions to topic-centric early warning, detect anomalies and narrative evolution, and leverage predictive analytics and OSINT to identify viral liftoff before it peaks. We explain why engaging attackers usually backfires and how to focus instead on direct communication with stakeholders who matter—employees, customers, partners, and regulators. Reach Phil and his excellent newsletter, Wag the Dog, at wagthedog.io.If this was useful, follow the show, share it with a colleague in comms or risk, and leave a quick review telling us what you want to hear next.We'd love to hear from you.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Hannah Kesler, second-generation financial strategist and money educator, to break down the Infinite Banking Concept, the Money Multiplier Method, and how she became a self-made millionaire by age 24. Hannah shares her personal journey—from dropping out of college and working at Cracker Barrel to building private banking systems, generating passive income, and achieving complete financial control and time freedom. We dive deep into how properly structured whole life insurance can be used as a private banking system to fund businesses, invest in real estate, pay taxes, and create long-term wealth—without relying on Wall Street or traditional banks. This episode is especially valuable for health coaches, entrepreneurs, and service-based business owners who want access to capital, liquidity, and financial stability while building their businesses intentionally and sustainably. If you've ever felt stuck financially, confused about money, or frustrated with traditional financial advice, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about money—and show you a different path forward. What You'll Learn in This Episode What the Infinite Banking Concept really is (and what it's NOT) How Hannah became a millionaire at 24 using private banking strategies Why traditional banking and retirement advice may be working against you How to use whole life insurance for living benefits, not just death benefits The difference between term life insurance and properly structured whole life How entrepreneurs and health coaches can use infinite banking to fund businesses Why liquidity, control, and uninterrupted compounding matter more than returns How to access your money quickly without penalties or approvals Why banks are the largest buyers of whole life insurance in the world How to think long-term when building wealth and financial systems The mindset shift required to truly take control of your money How Hannah generates five-figure monthly passive income Why infinite banking is a long-game strategy—not a quick fix Key Topics Covered Infinite Banking Concept Money Multiplier Method Whole Life Insurance Strategy Private Banking Systems Financial Freedom for Entrepreneurs Wealth Building Outside the Stock Market Passive Income Strategies Financial Literacy for Young Adults Money Mindset & Control Capital Access for Small Businesses   About the Guest Hannah Kesler is a financial educator, speaker, and strategist specializing in the Infinite Banking Concept and private wealth systems. She works with entrepreneurs, business owners, and families to help them take control of their money, eliminate unnecessary risk, and build long-term financial independence. At just 26 years old, Hannah has built multiple income streams, owns real estate, runs her own private banking system, and speaks at 40+ live events per year—while living life on her own terms.

Welcome back to the pod! In this episode, we kick things off swapping New Year's stories, talking about wild neighborhood parties, and the chaos of fireworks season. There's plenty of friendly roasting, a few questionable parenting confessions, and some classic "back in my day" tales that'll have you laughing (or cringing). We get into some real talk about HOA drama, barking dogs, and the art of being a good neighbor. Then it's off the rails with stories about mudding, off-roading, and the time someone's Jeep didn't quite survive the adventure. Plus, we dive into some unexpected territory with daycare scams, government fraud, and a heated debate about who's really running the show in Minnesota and Venezuela. To wrap it up, we get into food cravings, soul food recommendations, and a little bit of everything else—guns, sagging pants, and why Cracker Barrel is apparently the most controversial restaurant in America. If you're here for laughs, hot takes, and a little chaos, you're in the right place. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

If you’ve ever looked at your timeline and thought “there’s no way this is real,” you’re probably right. In this episode, Bridget and Mike speak to two data professionals about two recent reports from their companies that shed light on how bot networks attempt to hijack our online discourse: the Taylor Swift Nazi narrative after the release of Swift’s album Life of a Showgirl and the Cracker Barrel logo change backlash. Through the lens of these two seemingly unrelated campaigns, we unpack how bot-driven narratives spread, why it works, how online culture wars get engineered for clicks, chaos, and control, and what it means for the rest of us humans trying to engage in actual discourse online.

“I feel like I've been fired by America,” says Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Masino in a vulnerable tell-all that goes behind the scenes into the explosive Cracker Barrel rebrand, which Glenn describes as “stupid from start to finish.” In August 2025, Cracker Barrel unveiled a minimal new logo with modern fonts, cozy colors ... but no nice old man and no BARREL for him to lean on. But it wasn't just the logo; the restaurant chain was also getting a “modern” remodel. In short: We hated it. Social media erupted with brutal reviews, calling it “minimalist,” “soulless,” and “downright ugly.” Cracker Barrel stock tanked, its attempt to tamp down the pushback backfired, and it looked like this was the company's “Bud Light moment.” But then, Cracker Barrel surprised us. Its leaders listened. Within weeks, they scrapped the new logo, reinstated the original, and hit pause on every remodel. “COVID even made Cracker Barrel start drinking,” says Doug Hisel, senior vice president of store operations, as he takes Glenn behind the scenes as to what REALLY led to moment that brought Cracker Barrel to its knees. In Julie's first interview since her time on “Good Morning America,” when she said the response to the new logo “was overwhelmingly positive,” she is here to say to America: “I'm sorry ... I regret it.” Now the question is: Will America forgive her?         GLENN'S SPONSORS: Relief Factor: If you're living with aches and pains, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement, could help you feel better and live better.

Glenn has multiple examples that prove the Bubba effect is happening. Do you believe the explanations the government gives you for most stories or that justice will be served? Are a group of Democrat members of Congress advocating sedition? You cannot politicize the chain of control without breaking the republic. Glenn reads a list of red flags that always lead to a broken government. When a bank detects suspicious activity, it is required to file a “Suspicious Activity Report.” Over 14 years, JPMorgan filed seven SARs against Jeffrey Epstein, despite thousands of suspicious activity flags. Glenn discusses the failed Housing Stabilization Services program after years of evidence that it was primarily used for fraud. Ahead of Thanksgiving, Glenn speaks on the story of America and the importance of gratitude. StoryCorps founder and president Dave Isay joins to share how one small act of kindness can make a significant difference. Glenn discusses his podcast interview with Cracker Barrel's CEO and how the interview originated.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) on the House floor accused multiple GOP members, including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, of receiving political donations from Jeffrey Epstein. However, it was a different Jeffrey Epstein. When confronted about the incident during an interview on CNN, Crockett claimed it was all intentional and she was not purposely misleading people. Ex-Harvard President Larry Summers is stepping away from the limelight after leaked emails revealed he was directly communicating with Jeffrey Epstein. Texas Attorney General candidate Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) joins to discuss why Texas Governor Greg Abbott's move to designate two Islamic groups as domestic terrorist organizations is critical in stopping Sharia law from happening in Texas. Glenn comes out strongly against a potential presidential executive order regarding AI. Glenn reveals that Cracker Barrel's DEI specialist, Gilbert Dávila, has officially resigned from Cracker Barrel's board.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

President Trump is poised to authorize CIA plans for covert action in Venezuela. At the same time, a group of Democrats put out a video urging the military to ignore Trump's orders that they claim are illegal. Glenn breaks down the Democrats' real motive for the video. Stu and Glenn react to Democrat Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D), who was texting with Epstein during a congressional hearing, somehow avoiding censure. Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) made a big move yesterday by designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations as terrorist organizations. Glenn breaks down the history of these groups and why this decision was long overdue. Why do leftists single out AIPAC while ignoring all the other foreign lobby organizations? Glenn and Jason dive a little deeper into the capabilities you'll have if you subscribe to the Torch. Stu gives the full story of journalist Olivia Nuzzi and her current scandal. Glenn plays another preview of his exclusive interview with Cracker Barrel executives. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
