American-led diplomacy restarts as the war in Ukraine rages on and unprecedented attacks plunge Kyiv into cold and darkness. How long can Ukraine hold out? How long can Russia wage war? And why has Trump failed to find a path to peace? Compass Points moderator Nick Schifrin discusses that with Michael Kofman, Justin Logan, Angela Stent and Bill Taylor.

Sometimes a bit of wisdom drops in when we least expect it. That happened recently as I was reading an article about American football player Travis Kelce. A frustrated coach once told him, “Everybody you meet in this world is either a fountain or a drain.” You can probably figure out which one Kelce was being! Perhaps all of us have a bit of both elements in us. But at any given moment, we’re likely behaving one way or the other. And our call to follow Jesus means becoming more fountain, less drain. I hear a similar idea in Philippians 2, where Paul challenges us to imitate Jesus’ humility and focus on others. Paul contrasts what drains life from others with what fills them up: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others” (vv. 3-4). A bit later in this chapter, he adds bluntly, “Do everything without grumbling or arguing” (v. 14). What does it look like to be a drain? Being self-focused and arrogant; complaining and arguing. And being a fountain? Paul says of Timothy, “I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare” (v. 20). Are we being more like a fountain or a drain? That’s a question worth pondering as we seek to bless others.

This week, the boys crack open the story of Bob Lazar, the jet-car-building DIY rocket scientist who claims he was recruited to work on extra-terrestrial technology at a secret site near Area 51. From Element 115 and anti-gravity engines to messy credentials and even messier life choices, Lazar's story is equal parts fascinating and equal parts ridiculous; however, essential to what helped turn Area 51 into one of the weirdest legends in American history.

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian wrestle with why intimacy feels so difficult for American men—both with God and in marriage. Following along with C.S. Lewis's Surprised by Joy, they explore how knowledge alone can't produce real closeness, and why desire and longing shape the way men actually live. The guys challenge the idea that faith is about mastering concepts instead of participating in a relationship. They point toward a hopeful vision of intimacy that isn't forced or performed, but rediscovered through joy, presence, and learning to live inside God's story rather than observing it from a distance. Today's conversation is about Lesson 3-4 of C.S. Lewis on Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale professor Michael Ward. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about C.S. Lewis on Christianity: Encounter the faith & wisdom of C.S. Lewis C.S. Lewis's writings bring the great questions of the Christian faith to life. Through his imaginative and invigorating style, Lewis answers these questions in ways that are compelling to those outside Christianity and energizing to those within the Christian faith. In this free, seven-lecture course, Professor Michael Ward—a leading scholar of C.S. Lewis—will explore Lewis's: argument for objective moral value in response to the rise of modern subjectivism; bittersweet path to conversion and the role of enjoyment in the Christian life; advice regarding the proper way to pray and read the Bible; teachings concerning the purpose of pain and how to confront suffering and loss; insights about the nature of heaven and hell. This course examines these fundamental topics not only through his classic works—including Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Abolition of Man—but also through Lewis's personal experiences with doubt, conversion, suffering, grief, and joy. Through this course, students will discover Lewis's core lessons regarding the truth and goodness of the Christian faith and how to apply those lessons to one's life.  Join us today in discovering C.S. Lewis's enduring lessons about the meaning and practice of Christianity. Sign up at ⁠http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/ Check out At Home with Phil Robertson, nearly 800 episodes of Phil's unfiltered wisdom, humor, and biblical truth, available for free for the first time!

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, WREC's Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. Sen Chuck Schumer has labeled the SAVE Act—a bill requiring ID and proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections—as "Jim Crow 2.0," claiming it suppresses voters. This is racist – Schumer is implying that Black and Hispanic Americans cannot reasonably be expected to have or obtain an ID in 2026. Democrats support requiring ID for universal background checks when purchasing firearms but oppose it for voting. The only reason anyone would opposes voter ID is to exploit the system and cheat. The majority of Americans support voter ID. Later, President Trump realized that prescription drug prices have gotten too high. So, he launched Trump RX to lower these prices. This will save Americans billions of dollars. Also, Americans should closely follow the proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery, as it extends far beyond a corporate deal to impact American jobs, media control, and national security.  Culture, storytelling, and media serve as key weapons in the global battle of ideas, where foreign adversaries—particularly China—exploit weakened U.S. companies to spread authoritarian influence and propaganda. The merger would strengthen an American entity, preserve hundreds of thousands of middle-class jobs across multiple states, enable major U.S. investments like Netflix's new studio project, and help domestic streaming compete against Big Tech and state-backed foreign players.  Approval of the merger can bolster U.S. cultural leadership and protect against foreign dominance in the information war, aligning with Ronald Reagan's belief in safeguarding freedom through strong American influence.

Permanent stagflation is no longer a theory — it's here. I'm joined today by legendary investor economist Peter Schiff to break down why every major Trump-backed economic policy is inflationary, debt-driven, designed to subsidize affordability, and accelerating the collapse of jobs, markets, and the U.S. dollar. He explains why a weak dollar destroys American purchasing power, why tariffs are backfiring on manufacturers, and why the recent correction in gold and silver was likely a coordinated attack. Separately, I discuss Florida's effort to expose toxins in food and how Trump continues to miss opportunities on immigration, sanctuary cities, and the courts.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan sounds the alarm on a clandestine Chinese biolab discovered in Las Vegas, tied to the same Chinese national behind the infamous California lab raid involving dangerous viruses, dead animals, and fraudulent COVID test schemes. He then covers explosive new inconsistencies in the Jeffrey Epstein jail death investigation, including missing evidence, conflicting officer statements, and questions the DOJ still refuses to answer. Back in Washington, Bryan breaks down the looming DHS shutdown as Democrats push demands that would effectively cripple ICE, while some Republicans float compromise plans that Bryan warns could be disastrous. The episode closes with encouraging economic and medical news, including rising wages for American truckers as illegal drivers are removed, factory growth beating expectations, falling remittances to Mexico, promising breakthroughs in cholesterol treatment, inspiring longevity research from Spain, and simple evidence that family dinners may be one of the most powerful tools to protect children.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: February 6 2026 Wright Report, Chinese biolab Las Vegas garage, Reedley California lab Jiabei Zhu David He, FBI CIA biohazard investigation, Epstein jail death inconsistencies CBS DOJ IG, missing noose surveillance video questions, DHS shutdown ICE funding fight Democrats Top Ten demands, Thom Tillis ICE defunding proposal, American trucker wages rise deportations, factory growth ISM surprise, Mexico remittances drop Trump immigration, LDL cholesterol pill Texas study, longevity ultra marathon Spain Juan Lopez Garcia, family dinner mental health Tufts University

Gia Santos joins Stew to dismantle the myth of Trump's mass deportations. Over a year into his second term, less than 350,000 illegals deported in 2025—far from the promised 50 million. Instead, DHS, ICE, and Border Patrol, backed by Palantir, are building a facial recognition dystopia to track Americans. Jake GTV exposes Trump's sellout betrayal, buried Epstein child rape tapes, and the AI surveillance grid Talmudic perverts are forcing on Americans to destroy us while pushing Netanyahu's Iran war.

Matthew Spalding is a professor of constitutional government at Hillsdale College and author of “The Making of the American Mind: The Story of The Declaration of Independence.”A century ago, progressive historian Carl Becker argued that whether or not we have natural, inalienable rights as described in the Declaration had become a meaningless question. He believed that the idea of natural rights was not a veritable truth but merely a creed or faith of the men of his time and a product of historical circumstances.Spalding disagrees. He argues that the existence of natural rights and natural law lies at the very heart of the Declaration of Independence. “It's a claim of truth,” Spalding says.Spalding regards the Declaration as America's “epic poetry”: “It's the heart of America ... really the heart of Western civilization.”The founders saw themselves as part of, and as a continuation of, a deep and long tradition, in particular the Greek, Roman, and Judeo-Christian beliefs in natural law and free will.However, after the American Civil War, early American progressives no longer viewed it that way, he says.Their goal was to transform the United States into what they considered a modern state, and they turned away from natural law and God-given rights, and they viewed the U.S. Constitution as a “living document.”Now more than ever, it is vital to rediscover the true meaning and importance of the Declaration, Spalding argues.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Tonight's guest, Cam, was featured on Episodes 528, 542, & 559. On Episode 528, he told us about the night his white American bulldog, named Dallas, gave his life to protect Cam from a Dogman that attacked him. After that show aired, Cam came back on the show to update us on new encounters he'd had with that same Dogman. On his latest show, Episode 559, he told us about the final showdown he had with that Dogman. Well, a few weeks ago, he reached back out to me to let me know about a shocking development. His grandmother had a very frightening encounter with the same Dogman that Cam had all of those encounters with when she was only 12-years-old. She kept that from Cam until about a month ago. On tonight's show, not only is Cam going to talk about his new puppy, Theodore, he's also going to go into depth about the encounter his grandmother had.

This interview breaks down how self-employed first-time homebuyers can use intentional tax strategy to improve mortgage qualification and avoid higher-cost loan options. In this interview, CPA and licensed loan professional Dan Mullen explains why many self-employed first-time homebuyers are incorrectly told they cannot qualify for a mortgage. He breaks down the critical difference between taxable income and mortgage-qualifying income, showing how common write-offs can unintentionally reduce buying power if planned poorly.

In 1848, engineer Charles Ellet Jr. puzzled over how to begin the process of constructing the first bridge over the Niagara Falls gorge. How would they get a cable across the river? Prompted by a dream, Charles decided to host a kite-flying contest: whomever could land a kite on the other side would receive five dollars. It was won by American teenager Homan Walsh when his kite landed on the Canadian side of the river. Homan’s kite string was secured to a tree and used to pull a light cord back across the river. Progressively heavier cords were pulled back and forth until heavy wire cable was in place. This was the small beginning of the construction of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge. The bridge’s challenges and inauspicious beginnings mirror those faced by those working to rebuild God’s temple after returning from captivity in Babylon. An angel awakened the prophet Zechariah with a message that nothing would thwart God’s work—it would all be accomplished “by [His] Spirit” (Zechariah 4:6). Some of those who’d seen the temple in its previous glory were fearful that the rebuilt version would pale in comparison (Ezra 3:12). The angel encouraged Zechariah that they shouldn’t “despise the day of small things” because God would “rejoice” in seeing the work begun (v. 10). Even though the tasks God has appointed to us may seem insignificant, we can be encouraged knowing He uses small things—like kite strings—to accomplish His great works.

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. Proof of Life in an AI Age Clay Travis and Buck Sexton begin by highlighting President Donald Trump’s remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast, where he addressed faith in public life, new Department of Education guidance reaffirming the right to prayer in public schools, and ongoing federal responses to unrest and crime in major U.S. cities, including Minneapolis. They preview Trump’s wide‑ranging interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas, which becomes a central theme throughout the hour. A major portion of Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show is devoted to the alarming and emotional kidnapping case involving the mother of NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie. The hosts play audio from Guthrie’s public plea and analyze the unusual nature of a modern‑day ransom kidnapping in the United States. Clay and Buck discuss why the crime appears targeted rather than random, speculate on possible inside knowledge of the victim’s home and routines, and explore why this type of crime is now rare in America compared to other parts of the world. They also examine how advances in surveillance, DNA evidence, and digital tracking make successful ransom kidnappings increasingly difficult. Throughout the segment, they note that President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel have committed significant federal resources to the case, underscoring its national visibility and seriousness. Kamala Woofs? A lively and humorous debate about the future of the Democratic Party, centered on Vice President Kamala Harris and the 2028 presidential race. Clay Travis sharply mocks what he characterizes as Kamala Harris’s inauthentic political style, using her recent “Kamala HQ” announcement as an example, and compares it to a famously absurd storyline from The Office. This sparks a prolonged back‑and‑forth between Clay and Buck over whether Harris will run for president again—and whether she could realistically become the Democratic nominee. Clay argues that Harris is likely to run and could benefit from changes to the Democratic primary calendar that elevate Southern states with large Black Democratic electorates, while Buck strongly disagrees, insisting that her past electoral failures and poor performance in swing states make her nomination politically disastrous. The conversation broadens into a larger analysis of Democratic strategy, race, primary politics, and voter turnout. Clay suggests Democrats may once again make a risky strategic decision based on identity politics and narrow electoral margins, while Buck counters that party elites will ultimately coalesce around a different candidate, particularly California Governor Gavin Newsom. Throughout the hour, the hosts reference betting odds, past primary performances, and voter behavior to argue their competing cases, turning their disagreement into an ongoing bet that becomes a recurring and entertaining thread. Clay's Needle and Poop Walk Clay delivers an extended firsthand account of his morning walk through downtown San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl weekend. Broadcasting from the iHeartRadio studios in the city, he describes being advised not to walk for safety reasons and then encountering widespread homelessness, drug use, abandoned needles, and human feces along a short route in the city’s core. Clay uses the experience to argue that urban decay, public drug use, and lack of sanitation are policy failures, contending that visible filth and disorder directly correlate with higher crime rates and declining quality of life in major American cities like San Francisco and Washington, D.C. A central segment of Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features a detailed live update from Daily Wire reporter Lynden Blake, who monitored the full Arizona press conference on the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. Blake confirms that a single ransom note was sent to multiple outlets, demanding millions of dollars in Bitcoin, with an initial deadline the same day and a secondary deadline the following Monday accompanied by explicit threats. She explains why authorities believe the notes are credible, citing accurate descriptions of the crime scene, and discusses lingering questions about security cameras, possible inside knowledge of the home, and inconsistencies regarding forced entry. The hosts also explore the family’s request for proof of life and the challenges posed by AI‑generated imagery, underscoring how modern technology complicates hostage negotiations. Sen. Dave McCormick A substantive interview with Senator Dave McCormick, who addresses major national and state policy concerns. McCormick discusses the growing national debt, massive federal deficits, and what he views as Washington’s unwillingness to enact even modest spending reforms. He criticizes resistance to work requirements for able‑bodied Medicaid recipients and warns that without structural changes, entitlement programs will collapse under their own weight. McCormick also speaks at length about bipartisan cooperation in Pennsylvania, highlighting his working relationship with Democratic Senator John Fetterman, their shared stance on issues like fentanyl, energy production, Israel, and government shutdowns, and his willingness to publicly defend Fetterman when he was attacked by his own party. Election integrity and voting laws are another focal point, as McCormick strongly advocates for the SAVE Act and nationwide voter ID requirements. He argues that requiring proof of citizenship is a basic safeguard supported by overwhelming majorities of both Republicans and Democrats and says lawmakers must publicly justify opposition to voter ID to restore trust in U.S. elections. The conversation then shifts to the economy, where McCormick credits President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, deregulation, and energy policies with fueling major investment in Pennsylvania, including tens of billions of dollars committed to energy infrastructure and data centers. He frames U.S. energy dominance and AI development as critical components of global competition, particularly with China.

NBC host Savannah Guthrie's mother has gone missing from her Tucson home. The show analyzes the case and the frightening possibility that Latin America-style ransom abductions could be a new part of American life. They also react to the opening of the Olympics and how the press has managed to make international athletics about race and ICE. Sen.

Michael T. Lester, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and former Marine Corps combat pilot who served in Asia and the Middle East, initially believed deeply in American ideals. Over time, he experienced growing disillusionment as U.S. actions abroad often contradicted official narratives and failed to align with stated goals of promoting democracy and freedom. His book provides a non-partisan analysis, arguing that repeated harmful outcomes across administrations are systemic features driven by incentives, not mere mistakes. It outlines an imperial playbook involving regime change, sanctions, proxy wars, and economic control, while linking foreign policy to domestic narrative management that manufactures consent. Lester applies this framework to current events like Ukraine, Gaza, and Venezuela, noting increasing global skepticism toward U.S. explanations. The provocative title refers to outcomes; from a global viewpoint, the U.S. often appears as the antagonist, emphasizing that denial hinders self-correction. Motivated by the view that silence enables complicity, Lester wrote this book to encourage honest reckoning in a multipolar world.

Glenn starts by discussing the SAVE Act and the popularity of voter ID laws nationwide, even within the Democratic Party. So why are congressional democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY) fighting so hard against it? Glenn reads through the lyrics of the song he wrote that will be performed live at Ellis Island during a Torch event honoring American immigration. President Trump has shown his empathetic side in recent months. Glenn takes calls from various callers, including one who was among the first in Europe to subscribe to Torch. Glenn discusses the importance of the original filibuster and why the Democrats' attempt to change how it works completely undermines what it was intended to be. Glenn reveals what's actually broken in America: the contrast between power and the people. Glenn also offers a potential solution: having members of Congress wear body cameras, just as police officers are required to do. Glenn reacts to Kamala Harris's latest announcement regarding Kamala HQ. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Two days of talks between Ukraine, Russia and the United States aimed at ending Moscow's war on its neighbour have ended with the exchange of more prisoners - but there's been no word on a peace agreement. The US envoy, Steve Witkoff, said the negotiations had been productive, but that "significant work" remained. Also: the UN human rights chief has appealed for hundreds of millions of dollars in funding, with the agency warning that it's currently operating in survival mode. China's leader, Xi Jinping, holds calls with his American and Russian counterparts in the space of a few hours, as he exerts his influence on the world stage. Savannah Guthrie, one of the best-known television news anchors in the US, makes a tearful appeal on behalf of her mother, whose disappearance is being treated by police as a kidnap.

"Sometimes you've just gotta be a little bit fearless." The last time Roisin Willis was on the Ali on the Run Show, the "fastest high schooler in American history" at the time was fresh off earning a gold medal in the 800m at the USA Track and Field U20 Outdoor Championships, and was headed to Stanford University. (Listen to that episode here.) Now, the middle-distance runner is wrapping up her time at Stanford — and she's gone pro! The two-time NCAA 800m champion opted to forgo her remaining NCAA eligibility in favor of signing a professional contract with New Balance, and she just made her pro racing debut with a stellar indoor season. In this conversation, Roisin talks about racing at New Balance Indoor Grand Prix (she ran and won the 800m), at Boston University (she ran 1:57.97, becoming the first American woman to break 1:58 indoors, and breaking the American record in the event), and at the Millrose Games (she won the 600m). She also talks about her struggles with mental health during her time at Stanford, and about the tools that helped her through the hardest days. Plus, a peek at what's next. (First: midterms!)

Prior to last month's killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, many white American citizens felt obligated to use their privilege to actively disrupt unjust ICE activities in their cities. But the stakes just got higher for everyone.

At the turn of the 20th century, the American Chestnut tree was the most important plant in the eastern United States, accounting for over 25% of the forest canopy. But in a period of just 50 years, a mysterious blight, an imported fungus, swept the country and killed over four billion trees. Join Jason Epperson for Parkography as we explore the rise and fall of the majestic American Chestnut and the incredible, ongoing effort to bring the species back. A major part of this mission is taking place on one of our nation's most hallowed grounds: the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Learn about the tree's vital role in the American landscape and economy, the devastating chestnut blight, and the pioneering "backcross" technique scientists and volunteers are using to plant blight-resistant seedlings in the memory of American heroes.
