The past year has made it clear that absolutely every seat counts for the House, and that means Utah must repeal Prop 4 — the law that judges have used to hand the state a solid Democrat seat. Utah GOP Chair Rob Axson talks about the TP Action-assisted effort that will get a repeal on the ballot and help Utah conservatives escape left-wing gerrymandering. Mike Davis unpacks what the FBI and DOJ actually have in the Epstein files and why no indictments have been dropped. The team reflects on the legacy of departed left-wing icon Jesse Jackson, the pastor who embraced abortion in a bid for power. Watch every episode ad-free on members.charliekirk.com!

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Liberty's Voice Vodcast launched today and it's different from radio or TV. Today's first episode focused on a detailed, phrase-by-phrase breakdown of the Declaration of Independence, providing historical context and highlighting its unique, inspiring, and exceptional nature as the foundation of the nation. And contrasted it with the core ideological principles of Marxism, noting how Marxism was adapted into an Americanized form by the progressive movement in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Also, there's confusion about the current situation with Iran, we initially thought military action was imminent but recent reports of another meeting in two weeks have created uncertainty. Iran continues repressing and killing its opposition while tightening its police state control. Any deal lifting sanctions would allow the regime to survive indefinitely, gain funds to strengthen its military and Islamist control, and lie about compliance, similar to North Korea. President Trump understands that if he does attack, he must win decisively. Later, a massive raw sewage spill is occurring in the Potomac River due to a break in a six-foot pipe on the Maryland side, dumping millions to hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into the river flowing through Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. This poses serious health risks, environmental damage, and threats to people, wildlife, the regional water supply, and potentially the Atlantic Ocean. This is Democrat mismanagement—particularly by Maryland's Democrat leaders—for causing the crisis. Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress have defunded FEMA forcing its employees to coordinate cleanup efforts without pay. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan takes on the growing problem of propaganda in America, from Stephen Colbert's clash with the FCC over equal-time rules to media framing in high-profile immigration cases and a former Trump prosecutor now running for Congress as a Democrat. Bryan explains how headlines shape public perception, why critical details often appear deep in articles most readers never reach, and how partisan incentives inside journalism fuel what he calls a century-old tradition of influence over information. He also offers three practical tools to spot bias and navigate the era of Fake News. The episode then pivots global, with surprising battlefield gains for Ukraine tied to Elon Musk's Starlink restrictions, fresh evidence that Hamas is rebuilding military positions inside Gaza hospitals, encouraging signs of political revival in Venezuela, and breakthrough research on a new oxygen-delivering gel that could transform wound healing for soldiers, diabetics, and the elderly.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: February 18 2026 Wright Report, Stephen Colbert FCC equal time Brendan Carr, James Talarico interview CBS dispute, Seamus Culleton ICE media framing, JP Cooney Jack Smith prosecutor Congress run, propaganda Fake News history William Randolph Hearst, Ukraine Starlink Russia drone squeeze, Zaporizhzhia counterattack gains, Hamas Nasser Hospital command post, Gaza guerrilla strategy Israel, Venezuela protests Delcy Rodriguez, wound healing oxygen gel California battery hydrogel choline

This episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed is loaded with fire from start to finish. We kick off exposing the latest evidence of mail-in ballot fraud in Michigan redirected ballots still being counted, overseas votes landing in Detroit homes, voter roll messes and tie it straight back to Colorado's own stolen-election playbook. Joe drops fresh bombs on Eric Coomer's lawyers trying to kneecap Joe's and Patrick Byrne's legal teams, plus that infamous “I made fucking sure of it” quote. Election integrity isn't a theory, it's a fight, and we're not backing down.Then we sit down with Rich Guggenheim, the former Colorado Department of Agriculture official who blew the whistle on federal grant money being funneled into DEI schemes in clear violation of federal rules. He's on administrative leave, facing retaliation, and he's not mincing words about one-party Democratic rule enabling ideological capture across state agencies. As Colorado chapter leader for Gays Against Groomers and a candidate for CD-6, Rich brings the receipts on how progressive agendas are trumping competence, accountability, and taxpayer dollars and why whistleblowers are left hanging with nowhere to turn.We close with the ugly truth about Colorado's priorities: skyrocketing child sex trafficking (64% under 18), Democrats killing tougher penalties for predators, Epstein ties popping up again, and public schools hemorrhaging 10,000 students in a single year while insiders bail first. Add in Victor Marx dodging debates, backing out of interviews, and getting propped up anyway while people like Free As Can Be keep shining light on the corruption. This show pulls no punches: fraud, grooming, trafficking, and betrayal. Tune in for the raw truth Colorado needs right now.

Democrats are demanding changes to policy that helps Trump's immigration police get away with abuses. So they've shut down the Department of Homeland Security and only the Department of Homeland Security. In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:* How we ended up with such a narrow shutdown, instead of one that spanned multiple cabinet departments;* Whether this was a mistake or a savvy move;* What success (or “success”) might look like.Then, the Epstein Files story is stuck behind our collective unwillingness in the political class to state plainly what we're after: Whether Donald Trump abused children, and what the consequences should be if he did? Why is the administration so allergic to accountability for non-Trump associates of Jeffrey Epstein? And, was Pam Bondi's infamous performance before the House Judiciary Committee last week secretly brilliant?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Brian reconceives of the Trump-2024 campaign as a conspiracy to conceal the Epstein Files.* Halina Bennet on the ICE accountability gap.* Roger Sollenberger on a credible allegation of child sexual abuse against Donald Trump.

Episode 970 asks why Democrats are always expected to play by rules that Republicans openly mock and destroy, and whether apologies from Trump voters mean anything without actual accountability. Drawing on one writer's (Jamil Smith) refusal to accept an apology from a Trump voter, the show tackles the question of what comes after "I'm sorry" in American politics.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

A partial government shutdown is impacting the Department of Homeland Security, leaving essential personnel to work without pay as Republicans and Democrats remain divided over funding. The debate intensified following controversial immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis & Los Angeles that have sparked anti-ICE protests and demands for stricter oversight of federal agents. Rep.Tony Gonzales (R-TX), whose district covers 800 miles of the southern border, joins to discuss the DHS funding standoff, the focus on the removal of criminal illegal aliens, and why he believes the border is more secure now than under the previous administration.The Trump administration is once again taking a closer look at the American diet and what's in it. As part of the Department of Health and Human Services “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, the Food and Drug Administration is targeting the longstanding “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) rule, which allows food companies to self-certify ingredients without federal oversight. FDA Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods Kyle Diamantas joins the Rundown to discuss how Americans can avoid potentially harmful processed ingredients and the steps Washington is taking to eliminate them.

1. Claims about U.S. immigration and corruption The U.S. has historically admitted immigrants from countries labeled as “highly corrupt” by Transparency International. Examples mentioned include South Sudan, Somalia, Venezuela, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, among others. Vetting immigrants from these countries is “nearly impossible” due to poor record‑keeping, bribery, and document fraud. 2. Reference to Trump administration policies Donald Trump previously restricted immigration from certain nations via executive orders. These restrictions were due to corruption concerns and an inability to verify documents from those regions. 3. Criticism of the Biden administration The Biden administration continued issuing visas to individuals from these “corrupt” nations, citing specific visa numbers (e.g., Venezuelan admissions). Allowing potentially unvetted migrants into the U.S. 4. Concerns about fraudulent documents Applicants in corrupt nations can obtain fake documents—birth certificates, police records, passports, diplomas—via bribes. This is presented as a major risk to U.S. vetting systems. 5. Political commentary on Democratic leaders Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Gavin Newsom are criticized for acknowledging migration problems while also condemning Trump’s approach. Democrats are both: admitting migration has become “destabilizing” and simultaneously criticizing U.S. border enforcement agencies. 6. Claims of “chaos” caused by Democratic policies The narrative argues that Democrats created disorder at the border and in U.S. cities. The author asserts Trump is “cleaning up the mess” and that this angers political opponents. 7. Accusations of unfair comparisons to authoritarian regimes Democrats comparing U.S. immigration enforcement agencies to authoritarian “secret police” or Nazi‑like forces.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Rep Hakeem Jeffries is the George Wallace of our time – he opposes the principle of one person, one vote. Blue states like California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Mexico have used redistricting to minimize or eliminate Republican representation, creating districts where Republican votes effectively don't count. This practice is unconstitutional, denies equal voting rights regardless of race or gender and allows federal courts to do nothing. Also, Virginia is beginning to criminalize opposition to Islam due to growing Islamist influence in Northern Virginia, where Democrats collaborate closely with Islamists on issues like zoning, school curricula, and employment. Sen Saddam Azim Salem is prioritizing a bill defining Islamophobia as a form of assault and battery, arguing it is redundant given existing hate crime enhancements that cover assaults based on religion, race, ethnicity, and other factors. Do these protections apply equally to all groups? Afterward, AOC, Gavin Newsom and Hillary Clinton trash our country overseas because they hate our country.  While our brave and patriotic military personnel stationed overseas are protecting the free world, they give aid and comfort to our enemies. And none of them have done anything for the betterment of our country. Later, tomorrow is the premiere of Mark's new video podcast - Liberty's Voice. This will complement the radio show and Fox TV program, aiming to expand reach, overlap audiences, and amplify the message.  Finally, Lt Gov Dan Patrick calls in to explains that Carrie Prejean Boller has been removed from President Trump's Religious Liberty Commission.  No member of the Commission has the right to hijack a hearing for their own personal and political agenda on any issue.

The battle over DHS funding has erupted into a high-stakes political showdown—and the consequences could reshape U.S. immigration policy for years to come. In this episode, Lisa welcomes RJ Hauman & Mike Howell from the National Immigration Center for Enforcement to break down why Republicans pushed to separate DHS funding from the broader omnibus, how Democrats are leveraging the moment to target ICE and CBP, and what it means for border security and mass deportation efforts under President Trump. RJ & Mike dive into the internal GOP divide over immigration enforcement, the political strategy behind the shutdown, and the growing pressure from media narratives and activist movements. Plus, we examine the real-world impact on ICE agents, rising tensions in sanctuary cities, and the looming threat of midterm fallout. Key topics include: The DHS shutdown and funding standoff explained Efforts to isolate ICE and CBP—and why it matters Trump’s mass deportation agenda and political obstacles Media narratives vs. on-the-ground enforcement reality Sanctuary cities, voter laws, and the 2030 census implications Learn more about NICESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marco Rubio is done a complete 180 from what he used to be in politics. So much so that he's managed to embarrass multiple Democrats on the world stage. How did this all go down?

First, Senator Mark Kelly defeated Donald Trump's Department of Justice when a grand jury refused to indict him for speaking the truth by saying that military members must disobey illegal orders. Now, Sen. Kelly has defeated Pete Hegseth and the Department of Defense when a judge ruled that Hegseth may not punish Senator Kelly for exercising his First Amendment free speech rights.These rulings are good for the rule of law, good for the Constitution, and points of light shining amidst the Trump-induced darkness.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Barack Obama weighs in on homelessness and Gavin Newsom's political future as the panel debates who Democrats truly want in 2028. From California's crisis to establishment strategy, the conversation breaks down Newsom's ceiling, DNC power dynamics, and who's actually built for the national stage.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan connects the dots on how California's oil and gas crisis is driving up prices nationwide, threatening food supply chains, and weakening America's ability to fight a war in the Pacific. He then breaks down Governor Gavin Newsom's trip to Europe, where Democrats openly signal they are waiting out President Trump and promising a return to the old trans-Atlantic order, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivers a stark warning that Western civilization is in managed decline unless it rediscovers its shared mission. The episode closes with California's lawsuit to keep parents in the dark about their child's gender identity at school, followed by a chilling look at an AI agent that researched and publicly attacked a human after being rejected online. Bryan asks whether Silicon Valley is building The Oracle that will define morality for the next generation.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: February 17 2026 Wright Report, California oil gas crisis refinery shutdown Phillips 66 Valero, Jones Act Bahamas Panama Canal fuel route, Pacific war fuel risk Taiwan Xi Jinping, Gavin Newsom Munich Europe speech Trump, Marco Rubio Western civilization decline speech, California transgender secrecy law parental rights lawsuit, Linda McMahon education funding threat, OpenClaw AI agent attack Scott Shambaugh, Amanda Askell Anthropic philosopher Claude, AI Oracle morality debate Silicon Valley

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt went full North Korea cult propagandist on Fox News, gushing that the ICE crackdown in Minneapolis has been a “resounding success.” Never mind that two Americans were murdered, violent civil conflict has reigned, and Trump's approval has cratered. Leavitt also undercut her own spin by describing all arrested by ICE as “criminals” and insisting the operation is “targeted”—revealing she can't tell the truth about its targeting of noncriminals because it's so widely hated. She was further undermined by the shocking news that two ICE agents lied about an incident leading to the shooting of an immigrant, a reminder that this entire fiasco has been perpetually awash in lawless horror. We talked to Democratic messaging strategist Anat Shenker-Osorio, who explains how that shooting wrecks White House spin, why Trump's propaganda narratives are collapsing at a deep level, why he's in an unusually weak position, and what Democrats can do with their own narratives to seize the moment.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed hits hard from the jump: Joe fires back at Denver9's Kyle Clark after a viral clip calls him out as a liar and a tool for the left's agenda. We break down the ugly truth, Democrats shielding predators, weakening protections for kids, and weaponizing the media to keep the American people in the dark. Joe lays it bare: these aren't mistakes, they're deliberate moves to keep power and control.Then we turn to the quiet nightmare in rural Pennsylvania with Phil Lather, owner of Moon Shadow Inn & Resort. Phil built a solid business for 25 years without a single ticket until the Wayne County courts allegedly turned on him. Property seizures without a hearing, judges and lawyers colluding, assets taken, due process denied he's lost his Harley, his truck, his guitars, even family heirlooms. He's filed complaints with the state supreme court and disciplinary board and gotten crickets in return. Phil's raw story is a warning: if this can happen to a law-abiding small-business owner in one county, it can happen anywhere.We close with the bigger picture Chuck Schumer still calling voter ID “Jim Crow 2.0” while 76% of Black Americans support it, a trans state rep in New Hampshire fighting to keep men out of women's restrooms, a Maryland nurse trying to sic CPS on high school kids for starting a Turning Point chapter, and a former liberal in Portland waking up to the madness after moving from Pittsburgh. The left's grip on government, media, and institutions is real and it's suffocating everyday Americans. Tune in for the unfiltered truth and the fight to take it all back.

The Iran situation remains murky. President Trump says he will be indirectly involved in renewed nuclear talks in Geneva, describing them as “very important,” while simultaneously ordering a significant military buildup in the Persian Gulf. A second aircraft carrier. Additional F-35s. Diplomacy and deterrence running in parallel.I am genuinely unsure what the endgame is here. Is this Venezuela-style pressure, where decapitation and economic realignment are the model? Or is this about crippling missile capacity and nuclear infrastructure? Iran is not Venezuela. It has ideological cohesion in ways Caracas did not. It has true believers.What confuses me most is timing. If there was a moment of peak internal pressure inside Iran, it may have passed. Now we are left with talks that may or may not be sincere, layered on top of military posturing that may or may not be a prelude to action. I would not be shocked by a strike. I would not be shocked by a deal. That is not analysis. That is honest uncertainty.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The DHS Shutdown and Democratic LeverageMeanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security remains in shutdown limbo. Senate Democrats blocked a stopgap funding bill demanding tighter warrant requirements, unmasking of agents, expanded body camera usage, and changes to patrol tactics after controversial shootings. Republicans argue ICE funding continues under prior legislation and most DHS workers are deemed essential anyway.So far, public disruption has been limited. But if TSA agents and other DHS personnel miss paychecks long enough, pressure will build. My priors here are consistent: Democrats believe they are in a popular posture standing up to Trump. They are, at least rhetorically. But at some point, the government has to reopen fully. And any deal negotiated from the minority will disappoint the activists who demanded maximal reform.That is the trap of shutdown politics. You escalate to energize your base. Then you have to compromise to govern.Jesse Jackson and a Bygone EraFinally, Reverend Jesse Jackson died at 84. Whatever your partisan perspective, he was a towering figure in American political history, a bridge between the civil rights movement and modern Democratic presidential politics. He changed what was imaginable in national campaigns. His influence on leaders like Barack Obama is undeniable.The era he represented feels distant now. The fights are different. The coalitions are different. Even the tone is different. But history has long shadows, and Jackson cast one.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:35 - Uncle Luke Running For Congress00:07:51 - Polymarket Odds for Texas Senate Primaries00:26:04 - Update00:26:18 - Jesse Jackson00:28:52 - Iran00:32:44 - DHS Shutdown00:36:56 - Polymarket Odds for California, Maine, and Michigan01:02:03 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Democrats go off the deep end to play to their progressive base. Remember Dr. "Rachel" Levine? Wait for it.

Lara Trump, Fox News Host & Daughter-in-Law of President Donald Trump, makes her return to the morning show to discuss Mike Tyson and why his story about family obesity and a health-focused lifestyle makes him an effective spokesperson for diet and ultra-processed food concerns. The conversation shifts to foreign policy, with Sid expressing skepticism about Iran's willingness to compromise, while Lara says President Trump has given Iran an opportunity and suggests change may ultimately come from the Iranian people seeking freedom. She criticizes Democrats for opposing election integrity measures like requiring voter ID, argues Trump's policies on border security, deporting violent criminals, public safety, and the economy are working, and praises Scott Pressler's voter registration efforts while criticizing some Republicans for not supporting the SAVE Act. Sid and Lara also discuss the Olympics and what they describe as woke media questions and athletes criticizing the U.S., and they close by congratulating Elizabeth Pipko on becoming a mother and emphasizing parenthood's importance.

New York Post Columnist Miranda Devine joins Sid to talk about Jesse Jackson's legacy, focusing on his past antisemitic remarks and arguing they look mild compared to today's “civil rights” figures, which she links to the influence of the Nation of Islam on the movement. Sid criticizes Spike Lee for wearing Palestinian symbols at the NBA All-Star Game, suggesting it is provocative and anti-Jewish, while Devine says it reflects fashionable virtue-signaling in his circles. Devine then praises Marco Rubio's Munich speech as confident, diplomatic “good cop” follow-up to JD Vance's earlier “bad cop” message urging Europe to grow up, pay its way, and stop relying on the U.S., noting Rubio openly referenced Christian Western culture and drew criticism from outlets like the New York Times and figures like AOC. They contrast Rubio with Democrats such as Gavin Newsom and sharply criticize AOC's Munich appearance, calling her uninformed, applauded by European socialists, and suggesting she is positioning herself for a 2028 presidential run.

Lawler discusses President Trump's upcoming State of the Union and says many Democrats, including AOC, are boycotting, then criticizes AOC's recent comments in Munich and her attacks on Marco Rubio's speech. The conversation shifts to Democrats' emphasis on climate policy, with Lawler arguing Democrats have conflated climate and energy policy, citing New York's high utility costs and decisions such as shutting down nuclear power, banning natural gas, and blocking pipelines. He frames energy policy as central to national security, referencing international oil dynamics involving Iran, China, Venezuela, and Russia. The discussion also criticizes New York's budget process and legislative oversight, alleging Gov. Kathy Hochul “found” $1.5 billion without scrutiny and claiming Democrats in Albany conduct little oversight and suppress Republican questioning in hearings, including on antisemitism.

Except for Zorro and Batman, people who put on masks to hide their identity when going to work are rarely up to any good.And as Americans learned decades ago when Ku Klux Klanners covered themselves from head to toe, the bigger the mask, the greater the evil hiding behind it. Which brings us full circle to “Operation Metro Surge.”OMS is the muy macho PR slogan for the Republican Party's militaristic invasions of Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and other American cities they hate. Deploying ICE and other bastions of authoritarian power, thousands of massively armed federal belligerents in full assault gear have been rampaging through peaceful neighborhoods in violent and murderous mass sweeps.This is an un-American attack by America's own government on America's founding ideals of liberty and openness. The defining symbol of this government repression is that its forces are all hiding behind full-face masks.Of course, if I was doing some of the stuff ICE commandos are doing, I'd want to cover my face, too. But, like the Klan, masking up the oppressors is not merely about cloaking their personal shame — it's an added ploy by the perpetrators to terrify anyone who might dare to stand up to them.As usual, though, the authoritarian powers misunderstood America and underestimated the deeply rebellious nature of our gutsy, grassroots people. Some 30,000 volunteers in Minneapolis, for example, have become trained “constitutional observers” to police the police, and a citywide “whistle brigade” rushes like Paul Revere to alert neighbors when ICE agents invade their neighborhoods.Their ethic of neighbors-helping-neighbors recognizes their power to “do what's right.” It's the best of America standing up to confront the worst.Do something!Our friends at the Working Families Party are leading the charge to pressure Democrats to vote NO on any DHS bill that does not work to stop ICE's reckless attacks. You can text “ICE OUT” to 30403 or dial 833-636-3260 to call your Senators. Need a sample script? Here you go:When you connect, say your name and where you live to show that you're a constituent. Then, you could say something like:“ICE's reckless and illegal attacks on our communities must be stopped. But instead of ending and investigating ICE's abuses, the DHS spending bill would empower this rogue agency to terrorize and kill even more of our neighbors. As your constituent, I urge you to vote against the DHS funding bill and stand up to ICE.”Here's a whole set of actions they've compiled to help direct your energy.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.
