1. Claim of Increased Terrorist Threat four terrorist attacks have occurred within ten days in the U.S. All attacks are described as being carried out by radical Islamic terrorists targeting Americans. The country may be on the verge of a large-scale mass-casualty attack. 2. Blame on Open Border Policies The Biden administration is accused of maintaining a “wide open border”. Claims are made that millions of illegal immigrants, including terrorists, entered the U.S. Statistics are cited showing an increase in encounters with individuals on the terrorist watch list after 2021. “Gotaways” (unapprehended border crossers) are described as a major unknown security risk. 3. DHS Funding Controversy Senate Democrats are accused of repeatedly voting against funding DHS. The speakers argue this effectively: Leaves TSA agents, Coast Guard members, FEMA workers, and DHS analysts unpaid Weakens terrorism prevention capabilities ICE is noted as already funded, undermining the Democrats’ stated rationale. 4. Criticism of Democratic Leadership Democrats are described as being “serene” about DHS shutdown risks. Senator Brian Schatz is singled out as emblematic of this attitude. The argument suggests Democrats prioritize ideology and opposition to Trump over public safety. 5. Specific Terror Attack Examples Austin, TX: A shooter described as a radical Islamist opening fire at a bar. New York City: Two teens allegedly inspired by ISIS throwing homemade bombs. Michigan: A vehicle attack at a synagogue/school stopped by armed security. Old Dominion University: A former ISIS supporter, released early from prison, opening fire and being stopped by a student. 6. Media Criticism Mainstream outlets, especially CNN, are accused of: Downplaying or mischaracterizing terrorist motives Avoiding the term “radical Islamic terrorism” Failing to hold Democrats accountable Examples of allegedly misleading headlines and retractions are cited. 7. Distinction Between Islam and Islamism Senator Cruz emphasizes a distinction between: Peaceful Muslims Islamism, defined as a violent political ideology He argues refusing to name the ideology prevents effective counterterrorism.

Some episodes start with laughs. This one starts with a warning. When a convicted ISIS supporter is released from prison and then allegedly shows up at the center of another attack, it's not politics as usual. It's not abstract. It's not theoretical. Lives are at stake. So the question hanging over everything is simple: how many warnings does this country need before people start taking terrorism seriously again? The fellas — Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook — start this episode where it matters. The Old Dominion attack, the synagogue attack in Michigan, and the reality that DHS funding has been blocked while terror threats continue to rise. Then… because the news cycle refuses to stop being insane… things take a turn. Because while America is dealing with real threats, Iran's regime is busy looking like the world's most dysfunctional dictatorship.

A continuing military investigation revealed that a deadly strike on a school in Iran was likely carried out by U.S. forces. Idrees Ali of Reuters joins to discuss how the school may have ended up on a target list. Member countries of the International Energy Agency said they will release 400 million barrels of reserve oil as prices surge. The Wall Street Journal’s Matthew Dalton discusses whether the move can bring down the cost of crude. Travel around U.S. is being disrupted as global events coupled with the DHS shutdown have left airports scrambling. Hannah Sampson of the Washington Post explains the challenges facing travelers. Plus, deadly weather ripped through part of the U.S., Iran’s sports minister signaled that it might not compete in the upcoming FIFA World Cup, and the U.K. is removing the last hereditary lords from its parliament. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.
Today's Headlines: Twelve days in, the Iran war has cost $11 billion and nearly 2,000 lives. The most damning number: 175 people — mostly children — killed when a U.S. Tomahawk missile hit an Iranian elementary school because the Defense Intelligence Agency used outdated targeting data. Trump is still blaming Iran. He spent yesterday in Kentucky rallying against Thomas Massie and bragging the war was over "in the first hour." US intelligence disagrees: Iran's government is intact and now led by a younger, more radical Supreme Leader. Trump and Netanyahu are also diverging — Trump wants a victory banner, Israel wants regime change. Hezbollah is firing rockets into Israel; Israeli strikes have displaced over 700,000 people in Lebanon. Iran has escalated in the Strait of Hormuz, hitting three commercial ships and threatening every regional port. The US and IEA announced one of the largest emergency oil reserve releases in history after the Trump administration reversed course in two hours. February inflation already showed fuel oil up 11.1% before any of this started. The FBI is warning California law enforcement about potential Iranian drone strikes launched from ships off the coast, and thousands of Stryker employees — the company makes robotic surgery systems — arrived to find their devices locked with an Iran-linked hacking group's logo on their screens. A government watchdog found Hegseth's Pentagon burned $93 billion in September 2025 alone. The last five days of that month's spending exceeded Canada and Mexico's combined military budgets. Trump is threatening to veto all legislation until the SAVE Act — which would significantly restrict voting access — clears the Senate, while DHS investigates Arizona's 2020 election results and targets swing states ahead of the midterms. Epstein's accountant testified before House Oversight in a closed session; one detail leaked: a Trump accuser reportedly received a settlement from the Epstein estate. And a 12-foot gold statue appeared on the National Mall depicting Trump and Epstein in the Titanic bow pose — Epstein as Rose — with plaques noting their friendship was "built on luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches."

Jennifer Welch, host of the podcast “I’ve Had It” joins Sam to talk about taking a midlife gap year in Manhattan and how the country is led by people with no shame, and you just can’t shame the shameless. They talk about how she navigates the daily shitstorm (by starting her day at 5am with four shots of espresso), staying on Twitter despite the Elon Musk factor, how growing up atheist in Oklahoma taught her how to dissociate from craziness around her, fellow Oklahoman Markwayne Mullin at DHS, and how to reckon with leaders who don’t value human life. But, Jennifer also somehow gives Sam a little optimism talking about the problems with strongmen leaders, and why Democrats need to stop chasing the elusive “reasonable Republican” voter. Plus, they unpack some potential 2028 candidates and rage over why democratic leaders can’t speak extemporaneously. Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.

VR25 - This episode is dedicated to the memory of Cricket, the 14-month-old wirehaired pointer murdered in cold blood by Kristi Noem on an unknown date in a gravel pit in South Dakota. One week after Donald Trump took now-former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's job out to the gravel pit, Thomas, Lydia, and Matt get together for a post-mortem. After a brief amuse douche from Noem's (ahem) closest advisor, Matt plays the one excerpt from her 2024 campaign book “Not Going Back” which should have disqualified her from a Cabinet seat. (No, not that one! But we also revisit that story too and it's so much worse--and involves twice as many animals--than you may remember.) We then review some of the most notable lowlights of Noem's time as DHS Secretary, from completely failing to understand the ancient legal concept which allowed federal judges to release so many of the people she was illegally detaining without bond to her disturbing enthusiasm for calling US citizens concerned about killer ICE agents “domestic terrorists.” Also: why exactly did Noem lose her job last week, and where did the $220 million of our money handed over to a shell company run by her former press secretary's husband go? Finally, we take a closer look at Trump's choice to replace Noem at DHS: an Oklahoma Senator with two first names and a temper even shorter than his MMA career.

Wednesday's The A.M. Update with Aaron McIntire covers Senate Majority Leader John Thune's realism on the Save America Act, explaining the lack of votes to bypass the filibuster and framing a floor vote as a chance to force Democrats on record regarding non-citizen voting, despite the bill's simpler path from the House. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt pitches the Act's popular provisions like voter ID, proof of citizenship, restricted mail-in ballots, and bans on men in women's sports and child transgender surgeries. In the Iran conflict, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth previews intense strikes while noting Iran's reduced missile fire, and President Trump warns of severe consequences over reported Strait of Hormuz mining before announcing destruction of Iranian mine-laying vessels. Oil prices stabilize after sharp volatility. Domestic angles include White House guidance to temper mass deportation rhetoric for political reasons, echoed by House Speaker Mike Johnson on a "course correction" with new DHS leadership. More James Talarico clips surface highlighting his views on fascism and trans issues. Positive ADP job data offers labor market hope amid corporate relocations from California and New Jersey to Georgia and Texas. Virginia's new gun control measures head to the governor, and Congressman Tim Burchett calls gasoline pricing a corporate scam. A.M.

Chuck Todd surveys a political landscape where multiple crises are converging on the Trump administration simultaneously — and none of them are going well. The Iran war, which Chuck reiterates is a war of choice, appears to be devouring Trump's presidency: the administration burned through nearly $6 billion in munitions in just two days, is sending contradictory messages of reassurance and escalation that appear designed to manipulate markets, and seems to be operating entirely by the seat of its pants. He warns that asymmetric warfare has never gone well for the United States, that energy markets are in turmoil as Iran deliberately tries to inflict economic pain, that the threat of stagflation and energy shortages is very real, and that Trump's threat to use the Fed to shape oil markets has alarmed economists. He argues that if Trump could undo the war he would — but this won't be Venezuela 2.0, because there's no opposition on the ground to coordinate with, you can't change a regime without boots on the ground that Trump won't commit, and if the regime simply survives, that counts as victory for Iran. Meanwhile, Trump naively buys Putin's claim that Russia isn't helping Iran with targeting, and that new polling shows a majority of Americans oppose the war — with MAGA influencers notably against it even as older rank-and-file supporters stick with Trump. Beyond Iran, Chuck hits the Ticketmaster settlement as proof that Trump talks a big populist game but the lobbyists always win, warns that a partial DHS shutdown risks snarling air travel and punishing the flying public while ICE has already been funded, and cautions Democrats not to overplay their hand on the shutdown. Finally, on the day of the Mississippi primaries, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 All-Time statewide races in Mississippi and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Chuck Todd surveys a political landscape where multiple crises are converging on the Trump administration simultaneously — and none of them are going well. The Iran war, which Chuck reiterates is a war of choice, appears to be devouring Trump's presidency: the administration burned through nearly $6 billion in munitions in just two days, is sending contradictory messages of reassurance and escalation that appear designed to manipulate markets, and seems to be operating entirely by the seat of its pants. He warns that asymmetric warfare has never gone well for the United States, that energy markets are in turmoil as Iran deliberately tries to inflict economic pain, that the threat of stagflation and energy shortages is very real, and that Trump's threat to use the Fed to shape oil markets has alarmed economists. He argues that if Trump could undo the war he would — but this won't be Venezuela 2.0, because there's no opposition on the ground to coordinate with, you can't change a regime without boots on the ground that Trump won't commit, and if the regime simply survives, that counts as victory for Iran. Meanwhile, Trump naively buys Putin's claim that Russia isn't helping Iran with targeting, and that new polling shows a majority of Americans oppose the war — with MAGA influencers notably against it even as older rank-and-file supporters stick with Trump. Beyond Iran, Chuck hits the Ticketmaster settlement as proof that Trump talks a big populist game but the lobbyists always win, warns that a partial DHS shutdown risks snarling air travel and punishing the flying public while ICE has already been funded, and cautions Democrats not to overplay their hand on the shutdown. Then, John Adams, editor of the Montana Free Press, joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that local journalism has been in crisis — and that saving it might be one of the most important things Americans can do for their democracy. Adams is on the show to promote Local News Day on April 9th, a nationwide effort involving 700 local newsrooms aimed not at fundraising but at spreading awareness. He traces the origin story of the Montana Free Press back to his appearance in the documentary "Dark Money", a story about outside money quietly trying to buy Montana politics at the local level with zero disclosure — and the journalists best positioned to expose it were losing their jobs. Adams argues the economics of local news changed drastically as advertising revenue collapsed and audiences became hypnotized by social media and smartphones, but that the need and appetite for local reporting never went away. The conversation turns to the deeper consequences of local news deserts: the loss of trusted community voices created a vacuum that bred distrust in the national press, because people no longer had local "character references" — journalists they knew and saw at the grocery store — to anchor their understanding of how media works. Adams warns that the rise of AI-generated misinformation makes reliable local sources more important than ever, noting that while younger people tend to be savvier at spotting junk online, older generations are particularly vulnerable. They close by noting that strong local news doesn't just serve democracy — it helps local businesses target customers, creating an economic ecosystem that benefits everyone — and that journalism ultimately has to reach enough people to really matter, which is exactly what Local News Day at localnewsday.org is designed to help make possible.

Hello everyone! If you don't use Spotify to listen to our podcast, you can skip this one! If you do listen on Spotify, we have decided to remove our show from the platform. Althrough many of the Friends at the Table cast were users of the service in the past, recent changes to Spotify and actions of it employees means our desire to remove ourselves from the platform now outweight the convenience of using it and letting our show remain on the service. These include support of generative AI music and artists, running ads we have no control over (including recruitment ads for the United State's DHS and ICE enforcement), and Spotify's CEO making investments into an AI military defense company. In this recording, Jack and Austin do a better job of explaining the depth of our feelings on the matter and suggestions for alternatives to Spotify for listening and curating music.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Wall Street was a rocky road on Monday as oil prices brought a great fluctuation in the markets as well as President Trump indicating a near end to the Iran war. Those moves mark an impressive turnaround from the losses seen earlier in the day. The Dow was down nearly 900 points at its session low before rallying over 200 points at the closing bell. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell as much as 1.5% each. Also in light of the war, should the DHS remain unfunded, the irony of NYC voters electing a man that's sympathetic to the 9/11 terrorists and Democratic strategist James Carville finally loses his mind by unloading on President Donald Trump in a profanity-laced rant, admitting that he has "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and hopes to hate the president even more. Also the National Parks Service to restore fireworks to Mt. Rushmore on July 4th and audio from David Spade's podcast with Dana Carvey.

Support us | https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/donate-today President Trump officially denounces Tucker Carlson, as yet another Neocon war throws MAGA into a civil war. So, Lindsey Graham – Is Bibi worth it? But wait! This war is not fueled by politics. This war fever is elevated by religion – just ask Senator Ted Cruisemissile, Rockin' Mike Huckabee, and Rappin' Pastor Paula. (The clips in this section are NOT SNL spoofs.) Meanwhile, Trump fires Kristi Noem as head of DHS after Republican senators call out Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis. Michael explains why he agrees with the Republican senators now and back when people were getting shot in Minneapolis. In this Underground, Michael features Orthodox Jews, Charlie Kirk, and Traditional Catholics who, with one voice, are calling out warmongering Zionists who are blowing up the Holy Land to make room for the Manmade Messiah.

-U.S., Israel unleash chemical war on Iran -Trump manipulates chaotic markets for insider trading -DHS reports more migrant deaths in detention -Lawmakers advance legislation that will harm kids online
DOCKET ALERTS:War Powers Resolution fails in both Houses of Congress.DHS is ramping up for an immigration surge in Maryland and has purchased an 825,000-square-foot warehouse in Hagerstown. The state is suing to block the facility on environmental grounds. In Baltimore, Judge Julie Rubin joins judges in New York and Los Angeles in holding that ICE is systematically violating the Fifth Amendment rights of immigrants in “temporary” detention by holding them for days on end without hygiene, medical care, or access to counsel.Kalshi customers have filed a class action suit over the company's refusal to pay out on bets — oops, we mean CONTRACT SWAPS — that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would leave office as Supreme Leader of Iran before March 1.Trump continues to defy the Constitution's requirement that he get Senate approval for principal officers. We discussed it in our post on Judge Lamberth holding that Kari Lake was never legally serving as head of the US Agency for Global Media, and thus her directives are null and void. And Judge Matthew Brann has ruled once again that Attorney General Pam Bondi can't evade senate confirmation for the US Attorney in New Jersey — no, not even if she spreads the appointment out among three lawyers, not just one. And we'll talk about the Trump administration's humiliating U-turn as it tries to un-dismiss the appeal in the case of the executive orders targeting law firms, as well as Anthropic's complaint against the government. Turns out, defying Trump can be good for business!Subscriber Bonus: The Trump administration just dismissed the antitrust suit against Live Nation mid-trial for, uh, reasons.

1. U.S. Military Success Against Iran (“Operation Epic Fury”) The U.S. has massively reduced Iran’s missile and drone launch capacity over eight days. U.S. forces allegedly destroyed air defenses, missile sites (including mobile launchers), drone infrastructure, and naval capabilities. They argue the U.S. now holds air and naval superiority, enabling cheaper munitions and sustained operations. 2. Global Oil Strategy and Potential Seizure of Kharg Island Discussion of Iran’s dependency on Kharg Island as its primary oil export hub (≈90%). Suggestion that the U.S. may be positioning itself to seize or control this strategic point. This would cripple Iran financially, control the Strait of Hormuz, and create major leverage over China’s energy supply. 3. Domestic Terror Concerns Several incidents referenced (NYC explosive scare, Austin attack, embassy explosion in Norway). Such threats are not caused by the Iran conflict but by long-standing extremist ideology. Strong accusations that open border policies increased vulnerability to terrorism. 4. DHS Funding Fight in Congress Democrats are accused of keeping parts of DHS unfunded (Coast Guard, TSA, FEMA) while ICE remains funded due to earlier legislation. The speakers assert this creates risk to national security during a heightened terror threat environment. Claim: Democrats are doing this to appeal to their base who oppose ICE and strict immigration enforcement. 5. Global Reactions and Rising Islamist Activity Some Islamist groups allegedly responding violently worldwide due to Iran’s conflict and loss of funding. Concern raised that DHS funding issues undermine the U.S.’s ability to defend against these threats. 6. Criticism of Democrat Positions on Iran Senator Chris Murphy is specifically criticized for defending the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal. The deal never provided real inspection rights and would have allowed Iran to eventually obtain nuclear weapons. Trump pulling out of the deal and attacking Iranian facilities set Iran’s program back significantly. 7. Tucker Carlson Controversy “Unconditional surrender” leads to U.S. soldiers committing atrocities. The U.S. might require nuclear weapons to force Iranian surrender. These statements are anti-American, extremist, and helpful to Islamist propaganda. Claims that Iranian state media and the Muslim Brotherhood promote Carlson’s segments. 8. New Iranian Leadership Iran allegedly names the son of the previous Ayatollah as its new leader. Speakers argue any continuation of clerical rule is unacceptable for U.S. security. They describe Iran’s leadership as religious extremists who cannot be deterred like other states. 9. Airport Security Incidents and Public Anxiety Several recent flight diversions and security scares are mentioned. Reduced DHS staffing (due to the funding dispute) worsens risks and delays.

Nicolle Wallace covers everything that has transpired a week after Donald Trump waged war with Iran. 8 U.S. service members have died, the White House did not rule out a draft, the Wall Street Journal says we are facing the worst energy crisis since the 1970s, and the Iranian regime has named Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, as the new Ayatollah. Amid all the chaos, Trump told a CBS reporter today that the war is Iran “is very complete.” Later, Nicolle covers reporting from the Daily Mail that suggests that the White House is blocking the publication of a report by the FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center which warns local law enforcement across the U.S. of the potential of terrorist attacks due to the war in Iran.

There is no sugarcoating this. In light of the rash of “Ramadan” terror attacks in America, the time has come for a complete moratorium on this form of immigration. I make the case for why Trump must use the DHS funding bill for immigration reform and why it's a bigger deal than the SAVE Act. Next, I'm joined by Krista Schild of the RAIR Foundation, who observes how Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott's designation of the Muslim Brotherhood in Texas has no teeth in it. The legislature needs to convene a special session. Meanwhile, Islamists with connections to some of the worst terrorists continue to run education facilities and mosques in Texas. Even rural Texas is being colonized with more mosques. This is a do-or-die moment for our civilization. Blue states are gone. Will Texas follow Mamdani's New York City?

Monday's edition of The A.M. Update with Aaron McIntire dives into the intensifying Iran conflict, featuring dramatic scenes from Tehran where coalition strikes on oil infrastructure triggered black rain, toxic fallout, and widespread smoke over the capital. Reports highlight fractures within Iranian leadership, with the formal government issuing apologies for regional attacks while the IRGC vows to continue them. President Trump dismisses accusations of targeting a desalinization plant, reframing focus on the regime's atrocities, amid emerging claims of UAE involvement. Tensions rise with the UK over delayed support and intelligence sharing, drawing sharp comments from Trump and regional allies. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth downplays Russian intel assistance to Iran, emphasizing U.S. awareness and dominance. Domestic updates include disappointing February jobs numbers amid rising oil prices nearing $90/barrel, Markwayne Mullin's controversial DHS nomination and past J6 remarks, a curious old clip from retiring Senator Steve Daines, fresh Epstein-related revelations from prison guard records, Midwest tornado devastation, shifting youth views on socialism in new polling, and observations on fluctuating X narratives around the war depending on the time of day.

As the Department of Homeland Security undergoes a leadership shift with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin tapped to take the helm from outgoing Secretary Kristi Noem, the agency remains paralyzed by a partial government shutdown. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) joins the Rundown to discuss the "recipe for success" under Mullin, while sounding the alarm on how a DHS funding lapse could create domestic security risks amid the escalating conflict with Iran. Tax season is underway and President Trump's tax cuts are in full swing, with many Americans seeing the benefits. Critics, however, say the policy disproportionately favors the wealthy. IRS CEO and Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano joins the Rundown to discuss the administration's progress and what taxpayers should watch for.

1. U.S. Military Action & Objectives in Iran The U.S., alongside Israel, has conducted a major military campaign aimed at dismantling Iran’s military capabilities—missiles, drones, and leadership structure. Primary objective: Regime collapse, not a prolonged war. Trump administration views the Iranian regime as a 47‑year sponsor of terrorism and responsible for killing Americans. Intelligence suggested Iran was rapidly scaling missile and drone production, prompting immediate action. The Ayatollah and much of Iran’s security leadership were reportedly eliminated early in the conflict. 2. Nuclear & Terror Concerns Iran previously claimed it had enriched uranium sufficient for 11 nuclear bombs. U.S. officials believed Iran intended to develop and potentially use nuclear weapons. Iran has provided an estimated 90% of funding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis over decades. 3. Impact on China via Oil Disruption Iran historically sent 87% of its oil exports to China; Venezuela sent ~55%. U.S. actions against both nations’ regimes have significantly disrupted China’s energy supply chain. 4. Shake-Up at the Department of Homeland Security President Trump removed Christy Noem as DHS Secretary. Replacement: Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma. Noem faced backlash during Senate questioning—especially from Sen. John Kennedy—regarding: $220M in DHS-funded TV ads featuring her Possible improper contracting Claims that Trump approved the campaign (which he denied) Her testimony was viewed as damaging, contributing to her removal. 5. Texas Primary Elections Major developments in several key GOP races: Dan Crenshaw lost his House primary to Steve Toth, receiving criticism for confrontational behavior and losing touch with constituents. Multiple candidates endorsed by Sen. Ted Cruz won their primaries (Jessica Steinman, Chris Gober, John Bank). Texas Senate GOP runoff: John Cornyn vs. Ken Paxton—an expensive, bitter contest. Democratic nominee: James Talarico—portrayed as ideologically extreme but rhetorically moderate, making him a potentially formidable opponent. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
