Podcasts about defund

Let's take a breath and examine the exquisite contradictions of the modern Left. These are the people warning that your carbon footprint will murder the planet in a slow apocalyptic bake. The same ones who unleashed a virus, weaponized the panic, and turned it into the perfect mechanism for election interference and pharmaceutical windfalls. Precision timing, wasn't it? ICE just pulled 700,000 violent criminals off American streets. Actual predators with rap sheets longer than most congressional careers. Democrats' response? Defund the agency immediately. Because apparently the real public safety threat is the people removing the threats. They came within striking distance of nominating an actual Nazi for Senate in Maine. Not hyperbole, not online slang — the real article. Yet we're still lectured daily about which side endangers democracy. In Los Angeles, the mayor's race looks like it was decided with the same creative bookkeeping that defines their national playbook. The frontrunner presided over burning streets and an exploding homelessness crisis she swore she would fix. Now Spencer Pratt claims he's holding audio receipts that could expose the entire operation. Democrats treat clean elections the way vampires treat sunlight — they'll do anything to keep it away. Cheating isn't a tactic for them. It's the default setting. And the Trump contortions remain comedy gold. The man who struck Iran's nuclear ambitions, collapsed their economy, and left them economically gasping is now portrayed as some kind of reckless warmonger desperate to “pay them off” to end a conflict that isn't even officially a war. The mental yoga required to sell that story should qualify for the Olympics. They shrug at systemic welfare fraud that drains billions, but the sight of a self-made trillionaire sends them into convulsions. A man who generated that wealth by building products people voluntarily buy — no coercion, no subsidies, no mandates. That offends their sensibilities more than endless dependency schemes. So instead of acknowledging human achievement, they pivot straight to outrage theater. The world's first trillionaire deserves fireworks. They're delivering eulogies and pitchforks. This and plenty more on today's show. So here are the questions worth asking out loud: How does a political faction simultaneously fear productive billionaires and coddle career criminals? When did preventing fair elections become their most consistent skill set? And if innovation and voluntary exchange trigger them more than chaos and dependency, what exactly are they conserving — because it clearly isn't progress? Lines are open.

**Totalitarian Targets and Trillion-Dollar Tycoons: The Tech Battleground** In this hard-hitting segment, the hosts expose a deeply troubling pattern of tech censorship and foreign policy maneuvering. The monologue begins by breaking down the collision between global capitalism and European speech crackdowns, analyzing the severe legal threats Elon Musk faces overseas. European nations—specifically the UK and Ireland—are threatening to arrest the tech billionaire for violating their restrictive Online Safety Acts after Musk refused to remove a video documenting a horrific migrant attack in Ireland. The hosts detail a series of shocking escalation tactics from European leadership, including Keir Starmer's push for digital IDs to access the internet and algorithmic surveillance tools designed to scan and save private messages before they are encrypted. Shifting focus back to domestic policy, the commentary highlights Department of Homeland Security Head Markwayne Mullin's reports regarding the ongoing border crisis alongside the bizarre funding loops keeping hostile foreign regimes afloat. The segment wraps up with a fiery critique of Senate leadership, accusing institutional elites of intentionally blocking legislation like the "Defund the Taliban Act" while foreign adversaries are systematically built up at the expense of American safety.

**Funding the Enemy: The Shocking Continuity of U.S. Cash Infusions to Iran and the Taliban** In this hard-hitting segment, the hosts expose a deeply troubling pattern within American foreign policy: the continuous funding of hostile regimes and designated terror groups. The monologue begins by tearing into the Trump administration's newly proposed maritime framework with Iran, drawing explicit, unfavorable parallels to Barack Obama's 2015 JCPOA. Labeling the deal a "disastrous" mistake and a cash-for-nothing transfer, the commentary highlights how temporary sanctions relief allows Tehran to cash in on billions of dollars in backed-up oil reserves. Despite Iran's record of over thirty red-line violations and constant ceasefire strikes, the U.S. receives only a vague "framework" to have a conversation about enriched uranium stockpiles. Shifting focus from the Middle East to Afghanistan, the commentary dives into an equally stunning revelation regarding the Taliban. Despite a 20-year war that cost $2.3 trillion and claimed 2,456 American lives, the U.S. government continues to send $40 million a week to Afghanistan. The host calls out Senate Majority Leader John Thune for blocking a vote on the House-passed "Defund the Taliban Act," accusing him of outright lying on the record about his awareness of the bill. Citing warnings from intelligence analysts, the segment details how the Taliban is currently protecting reconstituted Al-Qaeda and ISIS terror camps. Whether through sanctions relief to Iran or direct financial aid to Kabul, the host delivers a scathing indictment of a system where foreign adversaries are built up "brick by brick" at the direct expense of American service members. The episode wraps up with a lighter look at domestic business news, touching on the massive financial buzz surrounding a SpaceX IPO.

It's Thursday, June 11th, 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 Nigerian court sentences Muslims to death for executing Catholics Last week, a court in the African nation of Nigeria sentenced four Muslim men to death for killing dozens of Catholics. Four years ago, the gunmen attacked a Pentecost Sunday service at a Catholic Church in southwest Nigeria. They killed 41 people, including children. Authorities determined that the armed men belonged to Al-Shabaab, an Islamic terrorist group. The massacre was the first terrorist attack on a church in southern Nigeria.   According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Proverbs 7:14 and 16 says, “Behold, the wicked man conceives evil . . . His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends.” Sudanese man arrested in Ireland for attempted beheading Authorities in Northern Ireland arrested a migrant from the African nation of Sudan on Tuesday. Police in Belfast accused him of carrying out a severe knife attack on a man in his 40s. People across the United Kingdom responded to the attempted beheading with protests. The victim was hospitalized with significant injuries to his face, neck, and back. Many U.K. citizens question their government's immigration policies, including Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe. In February, the lawmaker launched a national political party called Restore Britain. The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and also openly recognizes Britain's Christian heritage.  Congress funds $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol In the United States, President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act yesterday. The $70 billion package fully funds the Department of Homeland Security. The bill specifically covers U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the rest of President Trump's second term.  Listen to comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson after Congress passed the bill. JOHNSON: “The historic mandate that put President Trump in the White House and Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate is evidence of the fact that Democrats' ‘Defund the Police' agenda is wildly out of step with hardworking American families. After four long years of Democrat policies that opened the door to dangerous criminals and deadly drugs, Republicans are delivering on our promise to restore safe streets and secure our borders.” Inflation rose 4.3% Inflation reached a three-year high last month for American consumers.  The cost of goods and services rose 4.2 percent in May compared to a year ago. Rising energy costs drove the inflation. Gasoline prices were up 40 percent from a year earlier.    iPhone launch connected to lower U.S. fertility rate A new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that the launch of the iPhone contributed to declining fertility rates in the U.S. Apple introduced the iPhone in 2007. The U.S. general fertility rate has fallen by 22 percent since then. People have been spending more time on their smartphones and less time with each other.  The study noted, “Overall, the diffusion of the iPhone explains 33–52% of the decline in the general fertility rate among women aged 15–44.” Southern Baptists: Only men can serve as pastors The Southern Baptist Convention affirmed its position yesterday that only men can serve as pastors. Over 70 percent of the denomination's representatives voted in favor of the “Truth and Unity Amendment.” The measure was sponsored by Albert Mohler Jr., the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The amendment would require churches in the denomination to not appoint women as pastors, elders, or overseers.  Listen to comments from Dr. Mohler. MOHLER: “This motion makes very clear that we affirm the historic Baptist understanding of the pastor, elder, overseer. The structure of the language I have brought goes all the way back to the 1689 Baptist Confession, where the office and function of the pastor are clearly delineated. “This amendment makes very clear that a church, in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention, doesn't have anyone other than a man as pastor in the office of pastor and specifies on the functions of the pastor that the key central function of preaching the Word of God to the gathered assembly is limited to men by Scripture.” 1 Timothy 3:1-2 says, “If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach.”  Animated movie “David” claims #1 spot on Netflix And finally, the animated film David reached the number one spot on Netflix for movies in the United States over the weekend.  The Bible movie from Angel Studios officially premiered on the streaming service just last Wednesday. (audio from David movie trailer) DAVID: “I'm just a shepherd, but deep down I know I can take on the world.” NARRATOR: “There is a darkness over the land.” SAMUEL:  “Our enemies will strike once more.” MAN: “Imagine the biggest warrior you have ever seen!” DAVID: “Okay.” MAN: “Now imagine somebody ate him.” GIRL: “Remember when I told you God had big plans for you?” GOLIATH: “You will serve us!” GIRL: “They may have been bigger than even I thought.” Christian music artist Phil Wickham voiced the adult David in the movie. Wickham told Crosswalk Headlines the film is “full of the story of God and full of Psalms and full of hallelujah and faith and hope.  … I think this movie will last decades. I think it will be something our grandkids watch.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, June 11th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Host Tara uncovers a disturbing reality: despite the Taliban lowering the legal marriage age for girls to nine and rolling back basic human rights, the US government continues to send them $40 million of taxpayer money every two weeks. Tara targets Senate Majority Leader John Thune for blocking a vote on the "Defund the Taliban" bill, which has already passed the House twice. She traces the roots of this policy from the Biden administration's botched withdrawal to potential deep-state and corporate financial interests, drawing connections to China's multi-billion dollar contracts for Afghanistan's rare-earth minerals.

Host Tara delivers a multi-front exposé on government accountability and corruption. First, she targets Senate Majority Leader John Thune for blocking the "Defund the Taliban" bill despite reports of the regime lowering the marriage age to nine and using billions in mineral contracts with China. Next, Tara analyzes an explosive House Oversight Committee report alleging that the Tim Walz administration in Minnesota used police state tactics—including tracking phones and photographing children—to terrorize whistleblowers like Faye Bernstein over a $9 billion welfare fraud scandal. Finally, she breaks down the high-stakes battle over FISA surveillance renewals and hidden details from the Thomas Crooks investigation. > John Thune, Defund the Taliban bill, Minnesota fraud scandal, Tim Walz, whistleblower surveillance, Faye Bernstein testimony, FISA warrant debate, Thomas Crooks investigation, independent political commentary

They caught $200 billion in fraud — now Congress wants to take away the tools that found it. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers are joined by fraud investigator Andy McClanahan to expose a buried amendment that would ban federal agencies from buying the data they use to hunt criminal fraud networks. Critics call it the "digital defunding of the police." Plus: a $14B Russian Medicare bust, the IRS keeping your biometrics while fraud cops get cut off, and Washington State chaos — a ballot box that exploded, 360 blank ballots in a dumpster, and voter cards where 92% of names were Chinese.

While May Day has traditionally been about worker rights, in recent years, immigrant rights have become a major focus. This year groups across the country will join to demand an end to ICE funding, the closure of detention centers, and a pathway to citizenship for all. We hear from a press conference by the Fair Immigration Reform Movement or FIRM. Speakers are Murad Awawdeh, of the New York Immigrant Coalition, Adriana Rivera of the Florida Immigrant Coalition; Angelica Salas of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights; and, Lawrence Benito, of The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. May Day events in Albany include a picnic and rally with Indivisible at 2:30 pm in Washington Park and by labor unions at 5:30 PM at West Capitol Park.

From “defund the police” to calls for dismantling ICE and even border protection itself—has the debate over public safety gone too far? Today's breakdown dives into escalating political rhetoric, a razor-thin Senate vote to fund border enforcement, and explosive allegations surrounding the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Should we defund – or defend – the BBC?Live from London, the Spectator hosted a debate on the future of this iconic British institution, compered by associate editor Isabel Hardman. The Spectator's chairman – and long-time Beeb-critic – Charles Moore, and the Telegraph's Allison Pearson went head-to-head with the Spectator's editor – and former Tory cabinet minister – Michael Gove and the former BBC correspondent – now-podcaster with The Newsagents – Jon Sopel. Defund: do you agree with Lord Moore that the BBC is constantly breaking impartiality? That this issue ‘more profound than just about balance' – that this is a systemic issue which hampers the British public's opportunity to learn. And for Allison Pearson, the BBC that the country feels 'sentimental attachment to' is gone, replaced today by a corporation that is ‘institutionally antisemitic'.Defend: Jon Sopel argues that the soft power of the BBC cannot be underestimated and, while guilty of many mistakes, destroying the BBC would be ‘an act of cultural vandalism akin to ISIS blowing up Palmyra'. Lord Gove argues that the BBC reflects the best of us, declaring that he backs the organisation 'not in spite of being a conservative – but because I am a conservative'.Subscribers can watch the full discussion on Spectator TV and for more events from the Spectator, go to events.spectator.co.uk.  Hosted on Acast.

Do you remember the old store rule?“You break it… you buy it.”For most adults that rule makes perfect sense. If you break something, you fix it.But in modern American politics, a very different rule seems to apply:They break it… and taxpayers buy it.In this episode of The Last Gay Conservative Podcast, Chad Law breaks down the growing pattern of progressive policies that create broken systems — and then use the failure to justify more government control.We look at three major areas where this pattern shows up again and again:Segment 1 – Infrastructure Disasters• California High-Speed Rail's $100+ billion train to nowhere• The $7.5 billion EV charging network that built only a few hundred stations• California's Next Generation 9-1-1 system delays• The $4 billion per mile New York subway expansion• Offshore wind megaprojects collapsing under real-world costs• Government broadband programs stuck in endless planning• The Boston Big Dig's legendary cost overrunsSegment 2 – The Nonprofit Industrial ComplexHow a Reagan-era compromise to fund social programs through charities turned into a massive government-funded nonprofit ecosystem.• The explosion of government-funded nonprofits• Administrative overhead replacing real outcomes• “Harm reduction” programs that manage problems instead of solving them• Why some programs now depend on the problem continuingSegment 3 – Cancel First, Think LaterSometimes the system isn't built wrong.Sometimes politicians destroy things that already worked.• California energy policies and refinery shutdowns• EV truck mandates and the hidden infrastructure damage• The war on carbon and grid instability• The end of the Remain in Mexico policy• Nuclear plant shutdowns that increased emissions• Defund-the-police policies and rising crimeAcross infrastructure, social programs, and policy decisions, the pattern repeats:Break the system.Blame the market.Expand government control.And taxpayers are left holding the bill.00:00 Cold Open – “You Break It, You Buy It”01:15 The Political Version: “We Break It, You Buy It”02:40 Episode Setup – The Broken Systems Pattern04:00 Show Introduction – The Last Gay Conservative05:45 Segment 1 – Government Infrastructure Failures06:10 California High-Speed Rail08:00 Federal EV Charging Network Failure09:30 California's Next Generation 9-1-1 System11:00 NYC $4 Billion Per Mile Subway12:30 Offshore Wind Megaproject Problems13:50 Federal Broadband Expansion Delays15:10 The Boston Big Dig Overruns16:45 The Real Strategy Behind the Failures17:10 Segment 2 – The Nonprofit Industrial Complex18:00 Reagan Era Social Program Compromise19:40 The Explosion of Government-Funded Nonprofits21:00 Nonprofit Administrative Overhead22:40 Harm Reduction Programs24:30 Systems Built to Manage Problems26:10 Stress Testing Social Programs27:30 The Push Toward Government Centralization28:10 Segment 3 – Cancel First, Think Later29:00 California Energy Policy Consequences31:00 EV Truck Mandates and Infrastructure Damage33:00 The War on Carbon34:20 Remain in Mexico Policy Reversal36:00 Nuclear Plant Shutdown Paradox37:10 Defund the Police Policies38:20 The Bigger Pattern Across All Three Segments39:30 Reagan Reminder41:00 Episode Closing

It's Friday, February 13th, 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 Adam McManus China named global ‘Puppet Master' of religious persecution At a congressional hearing on February 4, former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback asserted that China continues to aid authoritarian and communist nations worldwide in their quest to suppress religious freedom, reports International Christian Concern. Brownback explained that China is the main driver of assistance to religious persecutors throughout the world. He said, “This alliance of communist, authoritarian, [and] totalitarian regimes will literally stop at nothing to control people of faith. China is the puppet master behind all of it.” According to Bob Fu of China Aid, “The Chinese Communist Party has a powerful civilian surveillance system with hundreds of millions of face-recognition cameras. They are all over China, including all four walls of the church building and pulpits and every corner of the street.” Known as “digital authoritarianism,” China is sharing its technological surveillance programs with nations, including Iran, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, that are known for abuses of religious freedom. Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You [God] are with me; Your rod and staff, they comfort me.” Hawley demands congressional oversight of abortion pill after FDA's safety failure Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri is calling for a crackdown on the abortion kill pill, Mifepristone, saying it's time for Congress to increase oversight of the drug and reinstate what he describes as basic safety guardrails, reports Fox News. He said, "Abortions are going up every single year. What's driving that is Mifepristone. It's the chemical abortion drug that is getting mailed into every state in the country. It doesn't matter what the state laws are. It doesn't matter if your state restricts abortion, bans abortion, or bans Mifepristone. It doesn't matter. It's getting mailed into every single state without a doctor visit, many times, without even a doctor's prescription. No follow-up. It's unbelievable!" Chemical abortions now account for 63% of all U.S. abortions. Not only do 11% of women who swallow the Abortion Kill Pill have to go to the emergency room due to hemorrhaging and sever bleeding, but the FDA has not completed the study of its dangers to women which it promised. Senator Kennedy: “The Karen wing of Democrat Party wants to defund ICE!” Democrats and Republicans are still battling over the funding for the Department of Homeland Security bill as Democrats demand restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement or I.C.E., reports RedState.com. But, on Fox News,  Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana had a very direct message to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, about the Democrats' demands to defund I.C.E. KENNEDY: "The Karen wing of the Democratic Party wants to defund ICE, just like they wanted to defund the police. And we know how that vampire movie turned out. The Karen wing of the Democratic Party is in control of the Democratic Party. “Even if we agreed to every one of Senator Schumer's conditions -- and I won't vote for 'em -- he couldn't deliver the Democratic votes. Because the Karen wing will punish any Democrat who votes to keep the Department of Homeland Security open." Jelly Roll's wife says backlash to his Gospel message at Grammy Awards is 'borderline demonic' As The Worldview reported on February 3rd, Jason DeFord, known as Jelly Roll, won three Grammys including one for the Best Contemporary Country album. In a February 8th episode of her podcast, Jelly Roll's wife, Alisa, claims that the backlash against her husband has been “horrific” and “borderline demonic” after the singer thanked Jesus for saving his life and encouraged others to trust Christ at the Grammy Awards, reports The Christian Post. Listen. ALISA DEFORD: “Who would have thought that my husband's speech would set the internet on fire? The problem is people are weaponizing the Bible and religion way more than they are celebrating the name of Jesus. “They're just proving why people do not want to be a Christian. Seeing all of these people online just tearing apart my husband's walk of faith makes me not want to associate with that type of Christianity. It's so horrific and it is so sad and it's borderline demonic. “I've been seeing videos where people are saying that my husband, he's a ‘performative Christian.' If I wasn't trying to walk with God, I would find you and slap you, lady, but I'm trying to turn the other cheek and be better. “In what world is it okay to ever question somebody's walk with God? All he's saying is, ‘Hey, Jesus is for everybody. Jesus does not belong to one political party. Jesus loves you and the Internet lost their minds.” Some critics claimed that Jelly Roll's words were “very MAGA,” while others accused him of using religion to try to grow his brand.  Jelly Roll credited Jesus and his “beautiful wife” with changing his life. Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” Valentine's Day birthed through Christian martyr's death And finally, have you ever wondered why we celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14th? Well, Pastor Valentine or Valentinus was a clergyman in the Roman Empire who lived during the reign of Claudius Gothicus or Claudius II. Because the Emperor was having difficulty getting young men to volunteer to serve in the army to fight his wars, he prohibited marriage which would further hurt the conscription rate. Pastor Valentine, who celebrated God's love and Biblical love between husband and wife, secretly married Christian couples in the forest which ultimately led to his arrest and imprisonment.  While Claudius took a liking to Pastor Valentinus, the bold preacher tried to convert the Emperor which resulted in a sentence of death. In Romans 10:14, the Apostle Paul asks, "How, then, can they call on the One they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” Valentine was beaten with clubs and stones.  And when that failed to kill him, Valentine was beheaded on February 14, A.D. 269. And now you know the rest of the story. Pick up a copy of the excellent children's book entitled Valentine: God's Courageous Evangelist.

There is something surreal about the Enemy Within's determined “Defund the Police” 2.0. Those Communists, jihadists and their fellow travelers doing business as the Democratic Party – with a few irresponsible Republicans – are demanding that we effectively disarm ICE at a moment when we need it more than ever to find and remove, or otherwise neutralize, “the worst of the worst” of the illegal immigrants in America.  By any definition, such illegals would include tens of thousands Chinese soldiers now inside this country. Especially when it appears they can tap perhaps 20 biological warfare laboratories here, too. CIA veteran Sam Faddis warns that, based on the two labs discovered so far, their contents could kill between sixty-ninety percent of those infected.  Consequently, the treacherous anti-ICE enemies within are also among the worst of the worst. They must be treated as such. This is Frank Gaffney.

Hi. Writer and actor Mara Wilson joins Katy, Cody, and Jonathan to talk about the supposed "drawdown" of ICE in the Twin Cities, what the Democrats should demand to fund the government, and the FBI's search of a Georgia Election office. Mara also talks about her experiences as a child actor and how the proliferation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on AI platforms is a major problem that nobody wants to deal with.And as always, we recorded right before that big thing that happened.Check out our new show STREAMIN' MORE NEWS: https://www.youtube.com/live/a3OYcDbd_EcPATREON: https://patreon.com/somemorenewsMERCH: https://shop.somemorenews.comYOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvlj0IzjSnNoduQF0l3VGng/join#IlhanOman #MaraWilson #evenmorenews Pluto TV.

The killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are called what they really are—lynchings carried out by Trump's armed thugs who were then protected from investigation and sent back out on the streets. A direct line connects decades of right-wing hate radio promising to eliminate liberals to today's fascist violence, explaining why there will be no magical "national awakening" to save us. Never Trump pundits who now support "Defund ICE" after spending years attacking Democrats over "Defund the Police" get dismantled for their hypocrisy, with an explanation of why better messaging won't fix a problem caused by the right's massive propaganda machine. The only path forward is relentless pressure, cutting off money and legitimacy to Republicans, and refusing to forget what they've done when this is over.Cover photo credit: The Library of Congress via PBS.Links for this episode: Driftglass and Bluegal on The Bill Show!  The New Republic: CBP Boss Says He Moved Agents Who Shot Alex Pretti to Avoid “Doxxing” https://newrepublic.com/post/205690/customs-border-protection-cbp-agent-alex-pretti-reassigned Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodor Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

President Trump was on a roll in Iowa, touting all that has been accomplished in just 12 months. After inheriting a mess from Joe Biden, the president spoke about a booming economy, rising incomes, tons of investments, a sealed border and an America that is respected all over the world again. Senator Ron Johnson joins me on today's show as we barrell towards another government shutdown. Senator Johnson's End Government Shutdowns Act and Shutdown Fairness Act would end this nonsense but have not been passed. Senator Johnson is fed up with an entirely dysfunctional Washington D.C. Democrats want to cheat in elections, spend taxpayer money and maintain power at all costs while running the country into the ground. Senator Johnson is finally calling to end the filibuster, with President Trump's leadership, now is the time to do it. Democrats are trying to defund and eliminate ICE the same way the tried to defund the police after the death of George Floyd. A recent report by the federal reserve exposed that NGOs (non governmental organizations) have $14 trillion in assets to fund the political activism and radical reform that is destroying the American way of life.

2. Minneapolis Situation & ICE Confrontations A. Escalating Conflict Recent fatal confrontations between civilians and ICE agents in Minneapolis. Two individuals (not known to be violent criminals) have been killed during encounters. Host urges toning down rhetoric from both political sides to prevent further escalation. B. Comparison Between Texas and Minnesota Texas sees far more ICE arrests but fewer violent confrontations. Reasons suggested: Texas law enforcement cooperates with ICE. Minnesota politicians (governor/mayor) allegedly encourage public confrontation with ICE. C. Violent Protest Structure Minneapolis protests are organized, funded, and oper­ated similarly to military groups. Reports mentioned: Surveillance operations against law enforcement Protesters allegedly sabotaging vehicles and physically attacking officers Autonomous‑zone style barricades forming in some areas 3. Responsibility & Advice Regarding Police Encounters Do not escalate encounters with law enforcement. Entering a protest with a firearm greatly increases danger for everyone involved. Legal principles discussed: Lethal force is justified if officers reasonably believe there is a threat. Officers cannot shoot fleeing suspects unless they pose serious immediate danger. 4. Media Narratives & Political Messaging A. Suburban Women as Target Audience Democrats viewed as shaping narratives (e.g., “ICE shoots mother of three,” “ICE detains 5‑year‑old”) to emotionally influence suburban voters. Hosts argue some widely publicized stories were misleading or false. B. Claims of Political Motives Democrats are using these incidents to distract from: A major Minnesota fraud scandal involving billions of dollars. Each new confrontation diverts media attention from that scandal. 5. Anticipated Government Shutdown A. Democrat Position Multiple Democratic leaders publicly oppose funding DHS/ICE at current levels. Statements from Senators (Schumer, Warren, Murphy) emphasize refusal to pass DHS funding bill without ICE restrictions. B. Hosts’ Conclusion They expect a government shutdown, driven by attempts to: Defund or weaken ICE Appeal to progressive voters Control political narrative ahead of elections Shutdown would affect agencies not yet funded (e.g., Defense, Labor, Education, HHS, HUD, DHS).

The left is insane and learned nothing from how poorly defunding the police went, so they are on to defunding ICE. Plus, Virginia is about to discover what a mistake they made.

Cheryl Chumley, Washington Times Online Opinion Editor and host of the podcast "Bold and Blunt," joins to discuss her latest opinion piece in the Washington Times is about the Dems switching from defund the police to defund ICE.

What happens when the police don't come—and political mobs decide they are the authority? In this intense monologue and analysis, the host lays out a warning about one-party rule, depolicing, and a future where activists feel empowered to stop drivers, search vehicles, and demand proof of political loyalty. Drawing parallels from St. Louis to Minneapolis, this episode argues that what's unfolding isn't chaos—it's a model being normalized. ⚠️

President Trump says he's ready to defund Sanctuary Cities—but what does that actually mean?

Are the Claims of Racism True, or a Distraction? Special Episode. From Chicago to West Virginia, a Law Enforcement Perspective. Few accusations are repeated as often, or with as much certainty, as the claim that American policing and the criminal justice system are inherently racist. It's a powerful narrative, amplified daily across social media, headlines, and political talking points. But is it true? Or has it become a dangerous distraction from facts, context, and real solutions? Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. That question is at the center of a special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and many major streaming platforms, and discussed across Facebook, Instagram, and the news. The episode features Maurice “Maury” Richards, a former Police Chief in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and a retired Chicago Police Lieutenant with decades of frontline experience. Experience From Two Very Different Cities Richards' career spans two vastly different policing environments, urban Chicago and small-city West Virginia. His perspective is not theoretical or academic; it's built on years of responding to violent crime, managing officers, and confronting the realities that don't always make headlines. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . During the conversation, Richards challenges the popular claim that police shootings in America are driven by racial bias. Instead, he argues that crime patterns, suspect behavior, and officer encounters with violence, not race, largely explain police use-of-force outcomes. Are the Claims of Racism True, or a Distraction? Special Episode. What the Data Shows National data consistently reveals that police shootings closely track rates of violent crime and armed encounters, not racial animus. In 2019, police officers fatally shot just over 1,000 individuals nationwide. The majority were armed or posed an immediate threat. While African Americans represented roughly a quarter of those killed, that proportion has remained stable for years and is lower than what crime and suspect data would predict, given the frequency with which officers encounter armed violent offenders. That context is often missing from public debate. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. Equally overlooked: in 2019, police fatally shot more unarmed white suspects than unarmed Black suspects, and those numbers have declined significantly since 2015. When placed alongside broader homicide data, unarmed Black suspects killed by police represent a tiny fraction of overall violent deaths involving African Americans. What Research Actually Concludes Multiple large-scale studies, spanning economics, criminology, and peer-reviewed science, have examined police use of force. Their findings repeatedly undermine the claim of systemic racial bias in police shootings. Are the Claims of Racism True, or a Distraction? Special Episode. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Researchers have found that: The likelihood of a fatal police encounter increases with exposure to violent suspects, regardless of race. There is no statistically significant evidence of anti-Black bias in fatal police shootings when crime rates and behavior during encounters are considered. White officers, in some departments, have been found less likely than minority officers to shoot unarmed Black suspects. These conclusions don't deny that misconduct occurs or that bad officers exist. Rather, they challenge the idea that racism is baked into the system itself. The Cost of a False Narrative Richards and the show's hosts argue that the real danger lies in what happens when an unproven narrative is treated as fact. The portrayal of policing as systemically racist has had consequences, some deadly.  In past years, false assumptions fueled targeted attacks on officers and led to pullbacks in proactive policing, especially in high-crime neighborhoods. When officers disengage, it is often law-abiding residents in minority communities who pay the price through increased violence, drug activity, and gang control. Are the Claims of Racism True, or a Distraction? Special Episode. Check out The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories. As Richards explains, fewer arrests and less enforcement don't eliminate crime, they simply shift power to those who exploit the absence of law and order. Politics, Policy, and the Bigger Picture Claims of systemic racism have become foundational to movements such as “Defund the Police,” opposition to Broken Windows policing, and calls to dismantle traditional drug enforcement. Even national leaders have echoed these allegations, often without defining what “systemic racism” actually means. When examined closely, the arguments fall apart: Claims of widespread racial animus ignore how aggressively modern institutions punish and correct discriminatory behavior. Assertions that past racism explains all present disparities assume causal links unsupported by evidence. Psychological theories of subconscious bias have been widely challenged and debunked. Disparity-based arguments focus solely on offenders while ignoring victims, who are disproportionately minority themselves. Perhaps most troubling, many proposed “solutions” would harm the very communities they claim to protect by reducing safety, enforcement, and accountability. The Bottom Line The conversation reaches a clear conclusion: the claim of systemic racism in American policing and the criminal justice system does not stand up to scrutiny. That doesn't mean reform isn't needed or that every police action is justified, but it does mean debates should be grounded in facts, not fear or political convenience.

Today I sit down with journalist Astead Herndon, whose award-winning political reporting has appeared in The New York Times, on CNN, and now in Vox, where he serves as editorial director. Astead and I explore how President Donald Trump's 2016 victory reshaped our own views of American politics. We disagree—cordially—about how much of Trump's rise was driven by racism, and what that moment revealed about the country. From there, we discuss why more black voters have been moving to the right, and what that shift says about ideology, class, and generational change. We also dive into Astead's take on New York City politics, including Zohran Mamdani's victory, touching on debates over Israel and Palestine, and Mamdani's pivot away from “Defund the Police” and his evolving stance on rent control.  Learn more about your ad choices.

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. Get Ready to VOTE Election Day 2025. The hour kicks off with a discussion on the upcoming elections in New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey, emphasizing the stakes and voter turnout trends. Clay shares a personal anecdote about voting locally and previews an interview with Riley Gaines, who recently faced backlash from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over her stance on protecting women’s sports. The conversation quickly pivots to the New York City mayoral race, spotlighting controversial candidate Zohran Mamdani. Clay and Buck dissect Mamdani’s shifting narratives, including his disputed claims about Islamophobia post-9/11 and radical past statements such as “Defund the NYPD” and linking police to the IDF. They analyze why voters seem unfazed by these revelations and criticize Andrew Cuomo’s lackluster campaign strategy. The hosts warn that Mamdani’s progressive platform—featuring ideas like government-run grocery stores and fare-free buses—reflects a dangerous trend toward socialist policies that could devastate city infrastructure and small businesses. The "White Men Are Evil" Argument Clay and Buck discuss Zohran Mamdani, the leading candidate for New York City mayor, and dissect his radical platform and controversial family background. They highlight statements made by Mamdani’s father, a Columbia University professor, who accused the United States of inspiring Nazi genocide through its treatment of Native Americans. Clay and Buck push back hard, offering a detailed historical rebuttal that includes references to colonial history, tribal warfare, and global conquest, arguing that the left’s narrative is rooted in anti-American sentiment and historical ignorance. The conversation expands to critique the broader Democratic leadership, including figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Gavin Newsom, warning that the “New York City liberal” and “California liberal” brands are becoming toxic in middle America. They praise more moderate Democratic mayors like Daniel Lurie in San Francisco and Muriel Bowser in Washington, D.C., for showing signs of pragmatism, especially in working with President Trump on crime reduction and urban policy. Trump '28 Unity Ticket? record-breaking highs in the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and NASDAQ, crediting President Trump’s economic policies for the surge. He contrasts this with media narratives from earlier in the year that predicted economic collapse, emphasizing the disconnect between Wall Street performance and lingering ground-level effects from the Biden-era economy. The hosts then pivot to Trump’s Asia tour, highlighting his meetings with leaders in Japan, South Korea, and potentially North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. Trump’s comments aboard Air Force One spark speculation about a JD Vance–Marco Rubio unity ticket for 2028, with Clay and Buck debating the plausibility of Trump stepping aside while endorsing his successors. A major segment features Trump’s challenge to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, mocking their intelligence and inviting them to take cognitive tests. Crockett fires back, accusing Trump of elitism and racial obsession, prompting Clay and Buck to critique the intellectual caliber of current congressional representatives across party lines. Riley Gaines vs. AOC Riley Gaines discusses her recent clash with AOC over women’s sports. Gaines shares her experience as a new mom, pushing back against cultural narratives that discourage young women from motherhood. She also responds to AOC’s dismissive comments about her athletic achievements, defending her fifth-place NCAA ranking and criticizing the left’s hypocrisy on women’s sports and fairness.

We could have guessed this once we saw the data, which was somewhat unfavourable and showed an increase of 14,000 in the number of unemployed. At the aggregate level for the eurozone, this increase was 11,000, offset by other more moderate readings. However, we continue to see that tension in the labour market is gradually easing, especially when we consider that employment expectations have weakened.  Source:  thecorner.eu  German Auto Industry Expected to Lose 100,000 Jobs in Next Four Years Following the “Build Back Better” agenda, the EU went all in for green energy proposals.  EU banking and finance followed suit, funding investment capital for electric vehicles (EVs) to replace combustion engines.  Unfortunately, this put the EU, specifically Germany, in the position of competing against the largest EV industrial base in the world, China. The second major flaw was capital only flowing to the EV sector, and Europeans -along with the majority of the industrial west- are just not buying EVs at a production capacity to match prior investment. Put it all together and Germany is trying to compete with China to produce a product their consumer base doesn't want. GERMANY – ZF Friedrichshafen's announcement that it is cutting 7,600 positions adds to the German supplier industry's troubles as parts makers struggle to manage the shift to EVs, along with falling demand for combustion engine components and increased competition from Chinese suppliers. Including job losses at Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche, the German auto industry is expected to eliminate nearly 100,000 jobs by 2030, according to an analysis by Bloomberg. Bankruptcies among German suppliers are climbing sharply, with 30 percent more expected in 2025 compared with last year, according to a report from consultancy Falkensteg.  Source: theconservativetreehouse.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1973857269935939833 +1.82% on a year-over-year basis, the smallest gain since July 2023.

Government Shutdown Narrative Democrats blamed for deliberately causing the shutdown for political reasons. Framed as Chuck Schumer’s attempt to appeal to progressive factions like AOC. House Republicans passed a “clean CR” (continuing resolution) to keep government funding stable, but Democrats rejected it. Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants Democrats WANT taxpayer-funded healthcare for undocumented immigrants. Cited past Democratic presidential debate where all candidates raised hands in support of coverage for undocumented immigrants. References to California and New York already providing state-level healthcare to undocumented immigrants. Argument that Democrats are gaslighting the public by denying this stance. Crime in “Blue Cities” Senate Judiciary Committee hearing highlighted as focusing on rising crime rates in Democrat-led cities. Claims that progressive DAs, often linked to George Soros funding, refuse to prosecute violent criminals. Examples cited: New York, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Milwaukee DA cases. Pattern described of criminals repeatedly being released and reoffending. Defund the Police & Bail Reform Criticism of Democratic-led efforts to defund or reduce police funding (examples: Minneapolis, New York, Austin). Soros-backed DAs accused of eliminating cash bail, downgrading felonies, and prioritizing criminals over victims. Proposed Solutions Sen. Cruz mentions his “Clean DC Act,” aimed at reversing soft-on-crime laws in Washington, D.C. Advocates stronger penalties and more police support. Credits Trump with using the National Guard to reduce crime in DC. Left-Wing Violence Democratic rhetoric is causing violent outcomes (e.g., BLM riots, anti-Semitic incidents, ICE facility attacks). Claims left-wing activists celebrate violence while conservatives condemn it. Mentions assassination attempts (Trump, Justice Kavanaugh) and murder of Charlie Kirk as examples of left-inspired violence. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
