──────────────────────────────────────── [00:02:09] Trump Now Pushing "Clean" FISA Extension — Two Years After Calling for It to Be Killed Trump is pushing an 18-month FISA Section 702 reauthorization — the exact authority he called Congress to "KILL" in 2024 because it was used against him. He now says he's willing to give up citizens' rights so the military can use it in the Iran war. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:11:01] FISA Was Born to Sanitize Warrantless Surveillance — and Became a Blank Search Warrant for Everyone The Frank Church hearings were secretly about warrantless surveillance of Americans. FISA created a secret court that became a rubber stamp. Section 702 expanded it to collect any American's communications touching any foreign target. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:25:21] After Being Laughed Out of Court, Trump Returned With a Secret Grand Jury to Unmask the ICE Critic After using a 1930 customs law to demand Reddit user data on an ICE critic and being publicly challenged, the government returned secretly with a grand jury — bypassing the open court that stopped them. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:31:47] California Passed What Critics Call the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" — Criminalizing Investigative Journalism California's AB 2624 would penalize journalism exposing government-funded entities: misdemeanor charges, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedowns — the same playbook Kamala Harris used against Daleiden. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:37:03] Fed Money Growth Doubled in February — Printing Presses Back On Before Iran War Inflation Hits February money growth doubled to $198 billion from $82 billion in January — before any Iran war inflation has filtered through the supply chain. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:50:39] Arterburn: Trump's Tariffs and Iran War Together Are the Perfect Plan to Create a Global Energy Crisis If you wanted to engineer a global energy crisis and controlled demolition of the current financial system, Trump's war and tariffs are the reverse-engineered perfect plan. We haven't begun to feel the impact. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:09:59] World Economy Is 126 Trillion — But 800 Trillion If You Count All Currencies and Bonds Propping It Up Arderman: $800 trillion in currencies and instruments prop up a $126 trillion economy. Gold was 20% of the world economy in 1979. It's 3% now. Currency expansion plus rising energy prices is a recipe for absolute disaster. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:29:16] Pete Hegseth Delivered a "Prayer" to His Troops Lifted Word for Word From Pulp Fiction Hegseth read what he presented as a biblical prayer — which synced to Samuel L. Jackson's fake Ezekiel 25:17 from Pulp Fiction. The verse doesn't exist. Michael Flynn previously did the same using a New Age cult leader's prayer. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:43:49] Senate Voted 40-59 to Continue Arming Israel — Same Day Netanyahu Said Vance Reports to Him Daily A motion to stop funding Israel's weapons failed 40 to 59 — the same day Netanyahu told the Israeli people that JD Vance "reported to me in detail, as the people of this administration do every day." ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:51:16] Netanyahu: JD Vance Called Me From His Plane to Report in Detail on the Negotiations Netanyahu stated Vance "reported to me in detail, as the people of this administration do every day." He added: the ceasefire explosion came from the American side — they refused to tolerate Iran's alleged violation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:54:55] Pentagon Is Now Planning a Cuba Military Operation — Trump Says "I Can Do Whatever I Want With It" The Pentagon began Cuba planning in January when Trump curbed oil shipments. Trump publicly said he could "take Cuba in some form" and added, "I think I can do anything I want to with it." ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:58:40] Theologian: Israel's 80-Year US-Backed Military Campaign Looks Nothing Like Joshua's Miracle J.D. Hall: miracles don't require the Balfour Declaration and Rothschild banking networks. Joshua took the land in five years with farm implements. Israel has the world's most powerful backer for 80 years and still can't win. Perhaps the miracle is that they've been stopped. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Tommy and Ben walk through a week of epic failures for the Trump administration, from peace talks with Iran to Viktor Orbán's historic loss in Hungary.They break down everything that was wrong with the US-Iran peace talks, like both sides coming in with maximalist positions, Vice President JD Vance walking out in a huff, and the lack of American expertise at the table. Then they unpack what we know about Trump's risky plan to also blockade the Strait of Hormuz, the growing economic fallout from the war, the heated AI-powered, LEGO-themed propaganda war happening on social media, the attack on free speech in many Gulf countries, including the arrest of American journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, and the latest on Israel's bombing, invasion, and occupation of Lebanon. Then they cover some rare good news in Viktor Orbán's stunning defeat after 16 years in power, and what we can learn from Hungarian activists about fighting corrupt autocrats, and discuss what other world leaders can learn from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's continued electoral success from punching back at Trump. At the end of the show, Ben speaks to Anand Gopal about his new book about Syria, Days of Love and Rage: A Story of Ordinary People Forging a Revolution.For Friends of the Pod, the guys answer questions about diplomatic approaches to Cuba, and just how frank diplomatic conversations get behind closed doors.Preorder Ben's book All We Say: The Battle for American Identity: A History in 15 Speeches  and subscribe to his Substack here.

Today's Headlines: Israel and Lebanon held their first direct diplomatic talks in decades in Washington yesterday, hosted by Marco Rubio at the State Department. Hezbollah refused to participate and kept firing. A second round of U.S.-Iran negotiations could restart in Pakistan within days, according to Trump — who has never overpromised anything. The Trump administration eased sanctions on Venezuela the day after Chevron quietly struck an oil production deal there. And the administration formally informed Congress that Cuba has contributed up to 5,000 soldiers to Russia's war in Ukraine, which feels like the beginning of a regime change justification tour. Meanwhile, Pam Bondi skipped her congressional subpoena yesterday — the one requiring her to testify about her handling of the Epstein files. House Oversight Democrats threatened to charge her with contempt of Congress, punishable by up to a year in prison. A fourth accuser came forward against Eric Swalwell at a press conference, describing being drugged and raped at his hotel room in 2018. According to People magazine, over 30 women have made similar allegations. A 20-year-old Texas man was arrested after throwing an incendiary device at Sam Altman's San Francisco home, then attempting to attack OpenAI's headquarters with a chair while saying he wanted to "burn it down and kill anyone inside." He was carrying a document expressing views opposed to AI executives. Attempted murder and arson charges filed. A federal judge blocked Indiana's law banning student IDs at polling places, protecting an estimated 40,000 voters ahead of the May 5th midterm primary — ruling there's zero evidence student IDs have ever caused electoral confusion or fraud. A new long-term study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that drinking fluoridated water has no effect on IQ or brain function, which RFK Jr. will absolutely ignore.

The more I travel (and the older I get!), the more I realise how little I know, and how wrong I've been about so many things! In this episode, I chat with three guests about various ways their travel experiences have transformed their thinking and perspective, and the general consensus is that everything's more complicated than we first think. I speak with Nikki Padilla Rivera about her experiences in Vietnam and Cuba, two very different work trips that introduced her to local knowledge and culture in varying ways and smashed her preconceived ideas about these places. Next, my discussion with Tom Sykes harks back to our younger years of travelling and how we now reconsider our old thoughts and attitudes, and in general how much travel teaches us about the nuances of the world, politics, culture and more. Finally, I round out the episode with a story from James Ward about a perspective shift in his daughters after he took them to Zambia.

Seems like a good time to remind folks - especially in the US - that Cuba has continued to suffer under the US embargo and especially recently under the more aggressive Trump measures, things are in a horrific place and many people are dying. This mix of OG Cuban records - some bought on my trip to the country in 2015 - is a tribute to the amazing people across the country who have continued to fight and stand up against imperialism and colonialist powers. Yeah there's some crackle but hopefully it doesn't stop you from enjoying this amazing music.

The interview comes amid ongoing tensions between the two countries. Diaz-Canel has accused the U.S. of a hostile (敵對的) policy and expresses willingness for dialogue without conditions. Cuba blames a U.S. energy blockade for its deepening woes, with a lack of petroleum affecting the island's health system, public transportation and the production of goods and services.

Ralph welcomes Haley Hinkle, policy counsel at Fairplay to tell us about how a New Mexico jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million for harming children's mental health and safety, violating state law. Then when present highlights from last week's symposium on impeachment, featuring Dennis Kucinich, CIA whistleblower, Jeffrey Sterling, Public Citizen co-president, Rob Weissman, GW law dean Alan Morrison and many more.Haley Hinkle is policy counsel at Fairplay, where she advocates for laws and regulations that protect children and teens' autonomy and safety online. Ms. Hinkle has also worked on issues at the intersection of government surveillance technology and civil liberties.We saw a lot of that in the discovery for these cases and other lawsuits that are currently being brought against the companies—that they have a lot of internal research where they're very specific with their features. And also their safety features. They test them to make sure safety features aren't too effective. They don't reduce too much screen time. And this is completely overwhelming for young brains. And it's completely overwhelming for families that are trying to make the choice between protecting their children and isolating them from the virtual spaces where all of their friends and classmates are gathering. And so it's not straightforward. And in many cases, the parental controls or settings that may give a family some semblance of control are not usually very effective.Haley HinkleI think if juries continue to make such resounding decisions on behalf of families, that's maybe going to motivate these companies to try to find ways to avoid further jury trials and to settle. But all of this raises the fact that as these processes continue (and they're so important), we can't wait for lawmakers to do their part to also step in and act and try to get some strong rules of the road in place to fill the void that has created this situation.Haley HinkleWe're in a moment right now where we have to decide who we are as a people—not who the President is. We already have an estimation of that. The question is who we are. Because, with few exceptions, almost each and every statement the President has made in the last month has been an impeachable offense. He is a walking, talking impeachment machine.Dennis KucinichLet me remind everybody watching this and this panel that this entire Congress is complicit in every crime of this administration for letting Donald Trump pass that threshold into his illegal presidency by not upholding Section 3 of the 14th Amendment on January 6, 2025. I am preaching to the choir if I tell this audience that we have passed so many thresholds when accountability should have happened, when somebody's foot should have been put down, and this should have stopped. This obscene, lawless war launched by a draft dodging pedophile domestic terrorist in concert with an international war criminal…Generations are going to be looking back to this moment to see what those people, those men and women (Democrats and Republicans in that body, but at the end of the day, human beings with moral compasses somewhere deep within themselves) were doing when American democracy was being burned to the ground.Jessica Denson, founder of the Removal CoalitionNews 4/10/26* This week, many felt that the U.S. came as close to a nuclear conflagration as it has since the Cuban Missile Crisis, as President Trump whipsawed between vowing that Iran's “'whole civilization will die” and striking peace deals with the Islamic Republic. Ultimately, the U.S., Iran and Israel all signed a two-week cease-fire agreement, mediated by Pakistan, including a provision that Iran will “allow oil, gas and other vessels to proceed unmolested” through the Strait of Hormuz, per the New York Times. However, this is just a cease-fire – not a peace treaty – and is being immediately pushed to the brink as Israel continues their ongoing, devastating assault on Lebanon. The Guardian reports that both Iran and Pakistan view Lebanon as included within the deal, while Israel maintains that it is a separate matter. In retaliation, Iran is now demanding tolls as high as $2 million per ship to pass through the Strait. With Israel showing little interest in acceding to a ceasefire in Lebanon, it seems unlikely this crisis will be resolved swiftly.* In the lead up to Trump's address Tuesday night, a large number of Democrats came out publicly in favor of Trump's removal via the 25th amendment, or failing that, a new congressional impeachment effort. According to Axios, this group includes both progressives like AOC, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as well as more moderate members, including even Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. Some Democratic Senators, including Senators Ed Markey and Ron Wyden also signaled their support. Perhaps most strikingly, former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called for Trump to be removed through an invocation of the 25th amendment, though she stopped short of calling for impeachment. This all coincided with Congressman John Larson introducing a new set of 13 articles of impeachment – that he may soon force a vote on under House Rule IX – and the legal symposium on impeachment organized by our own Ralph Nader and friend of the show Bruce Fein, available on C-SPAN.* Leading the moral opposition to the Iran war meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV – the first American Pope – has come out in opposition, telling journalists that “all people of goodwill” should “always search for peace and not violence… [and] reject war,” emphasizing that many have called this war “unjust” and that it is ”continuing to escalate and…not resolving anything.” Pope Leo stressed that “the innocent: children, the elderly, the sick…will become victims of this continued warfare.” The pontiff even went so far as to conclude with a call for political action, urging the people of the world “to contact the authorities—political leaders, congressmen—to ask them, to tell them, to work for peace and to reject war and violence.” This from Vatican News.* However, this is just the latest flashpoint between Pope Leo and the Trump administration. Administration officials were already irate with the Vatican earlier this week, following Pope Leo's statements on Easter Sunday, when he called for world leaders to give up their “desire to dominate others” and “the imperialist occupation of the world.” In response, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby – grandson of former CIA Director William Colby – reportedly told Vatican officials that “America has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world,””and “The Catholic Church had better take its side.” They also reportedly invoked the Avignon Papacy, implying that the United States could sponsor an heretical anti-pope as an alternative for rightwing Catholics. This exchange was apparently so shocking that Vatican officials canceled a planned American visit by the first American Pope. This from Newsweek.* Another deeply immoral story comes to us from Michigan, where the Detroit News reports Danhao Wang – a Chinese electrical and computer engineering research assistant at the University of Michigan – has died after falling from an upper level of the George G. Brown Building. According to this report, the university's police department is investigating this incident as a “possible act of self harm,” but Chinese authorities are demanding an investigation into his death, noting that it came on the heels of Wang enduring “hostile questioning” by federal law enforcement. This tragedy has occurred within the context of a Trump administration-led “crackdown” on foreign influence at U.S. universities. The Chinese Consulate in Chicago meanwhile put out a public statement decrying that “For some time now, the U.S. has overstretched the concept of national security for political manipulation and groundlessly interrogated and harassed Chinese students and scholars,” like Wang, implying some role in his death, while simultaneously “infring[ing] on Chinese citizens' legitimate and lawful rights and interests, poison[ing] the atmosphere of people-to-people and cultural exchanges between China and the U.S., and creat[ing] a serious chilling effect.” The Consulate is also demanding that law enforcement “carry out a full investigation, give the family of the victim and the Chinese side a responsible explanation, stop any discriminatory law enforcement targeting Chinese students and scholars in the U.S., and stop imposing wrongful convictions.”* Elsewhere in the midwest, Republican lawmakers in Ohio are taking first steps to do something about the out of control sports gambling epidemic. These legislators have introduced two bills, one designed to ban in-game gambling, parlay and prop bets and wagers on all college athletics and a second bill which would prohibit the “use of credit cards to make bets…[limit] bets to $100 and only [allow] up to eight wagers per 24 hour [period].” It would also ban ads during events broadcast live. However, the number one biggest rule these laws would impose would be banning online sports gambling period. Republican State Rep. Gary Click is quoted saying “[We're] going to put some common sense consumer protections in place to protect Ohio citizens.” Yet, this report also notes a huge loophole in these bills: they would not apply to prediction markets like Polymarket or Kalshi, just pure sportsbooks. This from ABC News 5 Cleveland.* Turning back to foreign affairs, French authorities have arrested Rima Hassan, a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and Jean-luc Mélenchon left-wing La France Insoumise (LFI) party. The charge? According to Al Jazeera, suspicion of “apology for terrorism” for a post that referenced Kozo Okamoto, a participant in the deadly attack at Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport in 1972. However, Hassan's allies in the LFI see this as a thinly veiled attempt to silence pro-Palestine voices. Sophia Chikirou, an LFI MP said “The French police and justice system are being used to intimidate those who support the Palestinian people,” while Mélenchon himself wrote “So there is no longer parliamentary immunity in France. Intolerable.” Mathilde Panot, an MP and head of the LFI delegation in the National Assembly, said “the criminalisation of political opponents has reached a new level,” under President Emmanuel Macron and demanded that “This relentless attack, trampling on the most fundamental rights, must end immediately.”* Our final stories this week cover Latin America. First, a delegation of American members of Congress, including Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and Congressman Jonathan Jackson, visited Cuba in an attempt to see “firsthand the devastation and suffering caused by the U.S. blockade of fuel,” according to Jayapal. In their joint statement, Jayapal and Jackson wrote that they met with “families, religious leaders, entrepreneurs, civil society organizations, the Cuban government, Latin American and African ambassadors, humanitarian aid organizations, and Cubans across the political spectrum, including dissidents,” all of whom demanded an end to the blockade. Further, they wrote that they witnessed “premature babies in incubators, weighing just two pounds, who are at tremendous risk because their ventilators and incubators cannot function without electricity. Children cannot attend school because there is no fuel for them or their teachers to travel. Cancer patients cannot receive lifesaving treatments because of lack of medications. There is a water shortage because there is little electricity to pump water. Businesses have closed. Families cannot keep food refrigerated, and food production on the island has dropped to just 10 percent of the people's needs.” They concluded by calling for “real negotiations” between both countries. Sadly, it is unlikely that those will come after such a long, acrimonious relationship since the 1959 revolution.* Next, in Venezuela, NPR reports that the Office of Foreign Assets Control – a division of the Treasury Department – has lifted sanctions on acting President Delcy Rodríguez. NPR notes that this sanctions relief “allows Rodríguez to more freely work with U.S. companies and investors.” In a statement on the platform Telegram, Rodríguez wrote “We value President Donald Trump's decision as a step toward normalizing and strengthening relations between our countries...We trust that this progress will allow for the lifting of current sanctions against our country, enabling us to build and guarantee an effective bilateral cooperation agenda for the benefit of our people.” Yet, her presidency rests on shaky legal grounds. While the Trump administration recognizes her as the “sole Head of State” the Venezuelan political system still recognizes Nicolás Maduro as the rightful president and Rodríguez as acting president for just 90 days – a window that is ending as we record this segment – though the National Assembly, presided over by her brother, can extend her acting term by six months. After that point however, the future of Venezuela looks far murkier, particularly if Maduro remains in U.S. custody.* Finally, in Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that her government will consolidate the various branches of the Mexican public health apparatus – including the Mexican Social Security Institute, the Social Security Institute and Social Services of Workers of the State, and the IMSS Bienestar program – into a single Universal Health Service. According to TeleSUR English, President Sheinbaum stated that the “objective is that any citizen can attend any health institution and be guaranteed full and free coverage throughout the national system.” President Sheinbaum emphasized that “universal breast cancer care will also be incorporated, including mammograms, biopsies, and treatments at the nearest facility, expanding preventive and therapeutic coverage for women nationwide,” and that the plan would “ensure continuity of complex treatments for conditions such as cancer, HIV, kidney disease, and hemophilia, even if the patient loses or changes their health insurance coverage, preventing interruptions in critical therapies.” She hopes to have this system in place by next year. While Mexico has a much more robust public health infrastructure than the U.S. to begin with, it is remarkable how, with the right combination of administrative competence, popular government and political will, Sheinbaum is poised to achieve yet another social safety net expansion considered a complete political impossibility in this country in such a short window of time.

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. Carrots and Sticks Clay Travis and Buck Sexton analyze Vance’s public comments emphasizing U.S. military leverage, sanctions relief as a bargaining tool, and the central American demand that Iran permanently abandon any path toward a nuclear weapon. A recurring theme throughout this hour is “trust but verify,” with Clay repeatedly stressing that the real test of Iranian sincerity is tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Ship movement, oil prices, and stock market reactions are presented as concrete indicators of whether the ceasefire is holding, rather than press statements or leaked talking points. The hosts also explore parallel regional developments, including reports of possible Israeli–Lebanese negotiations and efforts to de-escalate conflict involving Hezbollah, which they argue is contributing to a strong stock market surge and falling oil prices. Clay characterizes the Trump–Vance relationship as a strategic “good cop, bad cop” dynamic in negotiations, with Trump maintaining maximum pressure while Vance plays a more diplomatic role. Both hosts agree that the most likely outcome is extended negotiations rather than a rapid, definitive deal, predicting a cycle of short-term extensions as talks continue into the summer. Black Lives Mattered to Trump Clay notes the sustained optimism in the stock market, which remains within a few percentage points of all-time highs, framing this as evidence that investors believe the ceasefire is holding for now. From there, the focus shifts decisively to crime, law enforcement policy, and what the hosts argue is definitive proof that aggressive pro-police strategies save lives. Clay highlights a staggering statistic: murders in Washington, D.C. are down roughly 68% year-over-year, with just 12 murders recorded so far, putting the city on pace for the lowest homicide rate in modern history. He pairs this with similar dramatic declines in cities like Memphis and argues that 2025 was the safest year for violent crime in the United States since record-keeping began. The positive crime data is contrasted with a horrifying case in Charlotte, North Carolina, where a Ukrainian refugee was murdered on public transit by a repeat offender who had been arrested more than a dozen times. Clay and Buck argue this tragedy exposes the moral and policy failures of progressive prosecutors and city leaders who refuse to incarcerate violent offenders, even as evidence shows that targeted federal-state cooperation works. Buck explains that federal law enforcement is coordinating with local police, using federal sentencing standards with no parole, and focusing narrowly on violent repeat offenders—producing rapid, measurable results. Both hosts stress that these policies disproportionately save Black lives in high-crime neighborhoods, directly challenging claims from progressive activists and media outlets that law-and-order policies are racist. Proof of Life in Iran An extensive interview with Steve Yates, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former White House national security official, joining live from Seoul, South Korea. Yates provides a sober assessment of the Iran ceasefire negotiations, warning that U.S. policy must move beyond “trust but verify” to strictly “verify,” especially when it comes to freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. He argues that the United States must clearly demonstrate control of key waterways, maintain the credible threat of renewed targeted strikes, and enlist reliable allies such as the UAE, Japan, and South Korea to share enforcement and security burdens. Yates frames the negotiations as surrender terms, not talks between equals, while emphasizing the urgent need to eventually pivot the national focus back to domestic priorities ahead of the midterms. The discussion expands to Israel’s role, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the lack of clarity around who is actually making decisions inside Iran following the decapitation of much of the regime’s command structure. Yates casts doubt on whether Iran’s nominal leadership even has centralized control, describing competing factions between clergy, military, and internal security forces. He also provides an Asia-Pacific perspective, explaining how China, Japan, South Korea, and other energy-dependent economies are closely watching Middle East developments because of oil supply risks, while simultaneously testing U.S. resolve in the Indo-Pacific. He notes that North Korea fired short-range missiles during his visit, underscoring how adversaries probe American focus during moments of global tension. Yates highlights improving conditions in Venezuela, sees cautious promise for peaceful evolution in Cuba, and argues these Western Hemisphere shifts strengthen U.S. leverage against China by improving supply chain resilience. The Dignidad Act Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas, who strongly opposes the bipartisan “Dignity Act," joins the show to argue that the bill is amnesty in disguise, would grant legal status to roughly 12 million illegal immigrants, undermine mass deportation efforts, and directly betray the platform voters supported in the last election. He warns that the legislation would suppress wages, reward lawbreaking, and fracture the Republican Party internally, emphasizing that border enforcement and deportations—not legalization—were core promises of the Trump coalition. Gill also criticizes House scheduling dysfunction, saying lawmakers should be in session funding DHS and advancing conservative priorities instead of advancing immigration compromises. The segment closes with political analysis of upcoming Texas races, where Gill dismisses progressive challengers as out of touch with voters.

Newt talks with Congressman Rick Crawford, (AR-1st) Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, about the importance of counterintelligence reform, the Iran war, and fully funding the Department of Homeland Security. Chairman Crawford explains that the United States needs counterintelligence reform to address threats from China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba, which are actively engaging in espionage and intelligence operations within the U.S. homeland. There is a need for better coordination and cooperation between federal agencies like the FBI and military counterintelligence assets to leverage their different capabilities for threat mitigation rather than just law enforcement. Iran poses a significant threat, with the capability to deliver radioactive materials or a "dirty bomb" via their ballistic missile program, in addition to their support for terrorism and proxies. Our European allies have been unwilling to adequately fund their own defense, relying heavily on U.S. protection. Lastly, they address the challenge to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security and discuss the risks a shutdown poses by leaving critical security gaps in areas like border security, cybersecurity, and disaster response.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the turn of the 20th century, a booming cotton trade had made the Gulf Coast city of Galveston, Texas an economic powerhouse. Located just a few feet above sea level on a narrow barrier island, it was prone to flooding. But in a time before sophisticated weather forecasting, residents failed to grasp the danger lurking in their midst.In early September 1900, as a tropical storm gathered strength in the Caribbean Sea, Cuban forecasters warned that a powerful hurricane was charging toward Texas. But in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War, U.S. Weather Bureau officials had banned all weather-related telegrams from Cuba. Soon, the deadliest natural disaster in American history would strike Galveston without warning.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
