New rules proposed by the U.S. Postal Service would make states give data on voters who receive mail-in ballots for federal elections. This after President Trump tightened mail-in voting rules with a stated goal of making more secure elections. But a new report says election security threats are more likely something else.

A new audit of more than 2 million registered voters in Utah found 27 confirmed and 25 likely non-citizens on the voter rolls. Now obviously, the closer we can get that number to 0, the better. But does this small amount -- about 50 out of 2 million -- mean there's widespread fraud underway? Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson shares more about the audit and also touches on continued efforts to eliminate mail-in voting.
President Trump's high-stakes summit with Xi Jinping is igniting backlash after jaw-dropping comments praising China while behind the scenes the White House treated Beijing like a full-scale espionage threat. Tara and Lee break down the billion-dollar trade promises, the secret burner phone protocols, fears of Chinese surveillance, and the growing questions over whether Trump is strategically negotiating — or dangerously trusting America's biggest adversary. SHORT CLICKABLE TITLE Trump's China Comments STUN America EPISODE SUMMARY President Trump returned from Beijing touting “fantastic trade deals” and claiming China will invest hundreds of billions into American companies. But while the public heard glowing praise for Xi Jinping and Chinese investment, behind the scenes the Trump team reportedly operated under extreme security protocols — ditching phones, destroying materials handed out by Chinese officials, and sweeping Air Force One for potential surveillance threats. Tara and Lee analyze the contrast between Trump's public comments and the private actions of his administration, questioning whether the president is strategically flattering China to secure economic concessions or risking political fallout at home. The episode explores concerns over Chinese farmland purchases near U.S. military bases, allegations of Chinese cyber interference in American elections, and growing fears about Beijing's role in arming Iran and targeting U.S. forces. The discussion also dives into the business angle of the summit, including Boeing's renewed aircraft deal with China, American energy exports, and the broader geopolitical chess match involving Iran, Russia, and global oil markets. Plus, the hosts examine how media, Democrats, and Trump supporters are reacting to the president's controversial rhetoric.

Today on Stinchfield, we expose the Democrats’ real motive behind the forced partial shutdown of The Department of Homeland Security. The target wasn't ICE it was CISA, the federal agency tasked with protecting America’s election systems and critical cyber infrastructure. The shutdown forced nearly a third of CISA's workforce to quit, crippling the agency responsible for defending against foreign election meddling, cyberattacks, and digital threats to our democracy. Democrats screamed about ICE while quietly allowing the one agency standing guard over election security to be gutted. It was a devious and calculated move on behalf of the America hating left. YouTuber Stephen Gardner was among the first to connect the dots, and now the entire picture is coming into focus. Plus, chaos in Los Angeles as Spencer Pratt absolutely unloads on Karen Bass and Nithya Raman during the LA mayoral debate. Pratt torched the radical policies that have turned Los Angeles into a symbol of dysfunction, while Bass and Raman doubled down on the same failed ideology that’s driving residents and businesses out of the city.
Voting Rules Firestorm EPISODE DESCRIPTION A heated political debate erupts over the SAVE Act, proposed voting integrity legislation requiring voter identification and updated registration verification. In today's episode, Tara and Lee break down arguments from supporters who say the bill strengthens election security, and critics who warn it could restrict access to voting. The discussion also explores contested claims about voter rolls, court battles over election records, and a controversial Washington Post analysis cited in political commentary about potential shifts in state election outcomes if voter verification laws were implemented.

Jon Herold comes into Friday with a full show and a guest. Cybersecurity expert Skip Holt joins to break down two massive data breaches: the Medtronic ransomware hack locking down 9 million patient records and the Conduent breach now affecting 100 million Americans. Jon then connects those stories to something nobody is discussing: the US Election Security Group has not been activated for the midterms, and Jon thinks that silence might be telling. Louisiana just suspended its House primaries after the SCOTUS redistricting ruling, Trump called it tremendous vision and leadership, and Jon is connecting the dots to a potential nationwide midterm cancellation template. The DOJ is now weighing a second Comey indictment over the classified Daniel Richmond documents that John Durham mysteriously declined to prosecute years ago. Trump is also trying to reset the 60-day War Powers clock by arguing the ceasefire paused hostilities, which Jon finds legally creative. Oil prices stubbornly refuse to spike the way analysts predicted despite the biggest supply disruption in history, and Jon thinks that story reveals something important about Trump's economic strategy. Plus the national debt hits $39 trillion and Jon does math that nobody wants to hear.
Sophia Lin Lakin, JD '11 (MS '04, BA '02), director of the ACLU's Voting Rights Project, challenges the stated premises behind many current voting restrictions, including claims about widespread non-citizen voting. “If we're worried about the integrity of our elections,” she tells Stanford Law professor and host Pam Karlan, “we should be worried about making sure that more people are participating in our elections and not chasing a fantasy.” That concern—how long-standing efforts to restrict voting access can make it harder for eligible voters to participate—runs through the episode, which was recorded shortly before the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Louisiana v. Callais. In a 6–3 ruling, the Court struck down Louisiana's congressional map, which had created a second majority-Black district, holding that the map was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The decision could make it harder to use Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act to challenge maps that dilute minority voting strength. Lakin and Karlan discuss what is at stake when access to the ballot becomes harder and the rules for translating votes into political power begin to shift. Their conversation focuses on proof-of-citizenship requirements, mail ballots, voter roll purges, and redistricting battles, offering a timely look at the legal fights shaping who can vote, whose ballots count, and whether communities can elect representatives of their choice.

Chris Piper, co-founder of Advance Elections, talks to Gary about election security in Virginia.
Anna Miller from Camas isn't buying the reassurances about election security after ballots were found sitting next to a trash can.

Quick recap This meeting focused on election protection, renewable energy, and a discussion about Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. The participants discussed the upcoming No Kings, No Nukes, No War marches planned for Saturday, with expectations of millions of participants, and explored concerns about election integrity in various states including Arizona, California, Georgia, and Texas. Ron Leonard explained the growing popularity of balcony solar as a way for individuals to generate their own clean energy, while John Brakey and Ray McClendon shared concerns about potential election manipulation and voter suppression tactics. The conversation then shifted to a detailed discussion about Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, where Tatanka Bricca shared insights about the farm workers' movement and allegations against Chavez, suggesting that the movement itself should be celebrated rather than focusing on individual leaders. The meeting also touched on media concerns, with plans to discuss the state of CBS and other major media outlets in the second half. Next steps Ron Leonard: Provide contact information for purchasing solar panels to Sunny (and others) when they are ready to buy Christian Nunes: Post link to the Saving Our Cells Foundation webinar, flyer, and website in the chat Ray McClendon: Post contact information in the chat for people to get in touch regarding election protection in Georgia Micki Leader: Post election protection bills information in the chat for New York State Camilla Rees, John Steiner, and Sunny: Discuss reviving the US Grassroots.org election protection website John Brakey and Ken Bennett: Meet with Pima County Board of Supervisors tomorrow regarding election proof and AIB implementation John Brakey: Return next week with Ken Bennett to discuss election protection updates All interested parties: Participate in No Kings, No Nukes, No War marches this Saturday Sunny/organizers: Discuss what comes next after No Kings Day marches at next week's meeting Tatanka Bricca: Write up the story about Cesar Chavez's public confrontation All interested researchers: Utilize the archives being transferred to University of Santa Cruz for research on movement history Summary Election Protection and Renewable Initiatives The meeting focused on several topics, including election protection, media coverage, and renewable energy initiatives. Harvey Sunny Wasserman opened the call by discussing upcoming events, including the No Kings, No Nukes, No War marches and the importance of election protection in light of Trump's SAVE Act and potential Supreme Court decisions on mail-in voting. John Brakey was mentioned as a guest to discuss election protection in Arizona, and Tatanka Bricca was set to discuss news related to Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. The meeting also touched on the positive development of balcony solar, which is gaining endorsement in various states, and concluded with plans to discuss media coverage and the impact of Trump's attacks on reporters. Balcony Solar Installation Discussion Ron Leonard explained the concept of balcony solar, describing how small solar panels with inverters can be installed on balconies, garages, or even trash cans to provide electricity and reduce costs. Sunny shared his plans to implement this solution once California's Bill 868 passes, which would allow for easier installation of small solar panels. Myla provided updates on similar legislation passing in other states and discussed how distributed energy systems could make power grids less vulnerable to attacks. The discussion concluded with plans for an upcoming No Kings Day march on the 28th, which aims to draw millions of participants in a peaceful protest against nuclear power and war. Election Protection and Strike Planning The group discussed plans following upcoming "No Kings, No Nukes, No War" marches, with Ray McClendon noting the significance of Georgia's May 19th primaries where several key races are expected to be competitive. The discussion highlighted concerns about election protection, particularly in California where a Republican gubernatorial candidate has allegedly confiscated a million ballots in a jungle primary system. Myla suggested that unions are organizing a potential general strike for next May, while emphasizing the importance of protecting upcoming elections due to expected authoritarian tactics from those in power. The conversation also touched on the SAVE Act and concerns about billionaire funding in the November elections. Election Security and Protection Updates John discussed concerns about election security in Arizona, particularly following issues in Pima County and California's Riverside County, and mentioned an upcoming meeting with the Board of Supervisors to address these concerns. Christian Nunes announced the launch of her new nonprofit, Saving Our Cells Foundation, which aims to address gender-based violence and will host a virtual kickoff event on March 25th. Ray McClendon provided an update on election protection efforts in Georgia, highlighting concerns about potential vote intimidation and ongoing legislative efforts to restrict voting rights, while Charlie Lindahl shared information about election protection activities in Texas, including efforts by the Texas Democratic Party chair Kendall Scudder and initiatives like Beto O'Rourke's "We the People" program. Election Protection and Integrity Discussion The group discussed election protection and integrity issues, with Charlie encouraging people to volunteer as election officials and highlighting the importance of paper ballots over electronic machines. Micki shared insights from New York's Election Protection committee, noting that six bills addressing election issues are stuck in the Assembly due to lack of Democratic co-signers, and raised concerns about postal delays affecting ballot delivery. The discussion also covered the FBI's seizure of ballot information from Fulton County in 2020, which included sensitive voter data, and the broader issue of election information being targeted across multiple states. Impeachment and Infrastructure Discussion The discussion focused on impeachment procedures, with Steve Caruso advocating for a simplified approach without lengthy trials. Sunny clarified the constitutional requirements, explaining that impeachment by the House requires a majority vote, followed by a Senate trial where two-thirds majority is needed for removal. The conversation then shifted to infrastructure concerns, with Sunny expressing alarm about a recent Air Canada crash at LaGuardia Airport involving a fire truck on the runway, and criticizing the decision to have ICE agents handle airport screening. The conversation ended with plans to discuss Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, and media topics in upcoming segments. Election Protection and Security Systems The meeting focused on election protection and included a discussion about John Brakey's invention of the Audible Ballot Examination (Abe) system, which uses paper ballots and aims to secure the vote record database. Tatanka Bricca, a long-time associate of Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, addressed concerns about recent developments involving Huerta, emphasizing the importance of non-violence and resilience in the face of current challenges to democracy. The discussion highlighted the need for unity among leaders and communities to address ongoing issues related to election security and environmental activism. Government Infiltration of Farm Workers Tatanka shared insights about potential government infiltration of the Farm Workers Union, drawing parallels to COINTELPRO operations against other movements in the 1960s and 70s. He described specific incidents from the mid-1970s, including a $25,000 assassination attempt on Cesar Chavez funded by Nixon's administration and tensions within the union leadership. Tatanka explained how he experienced conflict with Chavez at a national meeting, but ultimately reached a resolution through direct conversation, which led to his inclusion in key negotiations with the United Farm Workers leadership. Cesar Chavez Revelations Discussion Tatanka discussed the recent revelations about Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, highlighting how Dolores had kept quiet about being raped by Chavez due to concerns about the movement's survival. Tatanka emphasized the need to understand this history and mentioned that true heroes include not only Chavez but also other organizers like Larry Itlyong and Pete Velasco. Lynn Feinerman suggested the timing of these revelations might be strategically linked to current events involving Epstein and Trump, while Tatanka noted that while the revelations are just beginning, there is a movement to use them to distract from holding powerful figures accountable. Farm Workers Movement Discussion The discussion focused on the farm workers' movement, with Myla sharing her experiences as a college volunteer in Delano during the grape strike from 1965-1966. Tatanka emphasized the importance of honoring the movement as a whole rather than individual leaders, highlighting how the first two martyrs of the movement were a Jewish girl and an Arab farm worker. The conversation also touched on COINTELPRO's disruption of social movements and the law of unintended consequences, with Sunny sharing how FBI infiltration of Liberation News Service ultimately led to the creation of a farm in western Massachusetts that became a focal point for the organic food movement. Media Landscape Evolution Discussion The discussion focused on the impact of Barry Weiss on CBS and the broader changes in media landscape. Dave Saltman explained the historical significance of CBS Radio and its role in shaping American culture, contrasting it with current media dynamics. The conversation explored the transition from corporate-owned media to more diffuse internet-based platforms, including podcasts, and considered the implications for organizations like Pacifica. There was no clear decision or action item outlined, but the discussion highlighted concerns about the current state of traditional media and potential opportunities in new media formats. Media Coverage and Political Developments The discussion focused on media coverage and local news reporting, with David sharing insights about CBS News's approach to local reporting and how Bloomberg has successfully expanded with over 800 bureaus worldwide. The conversation then shifted to current political developments, with Bryan discussing how Trump's recent actions may be connected to the Katie Johnson allegations, and Tatanka explaining how the Ukraine-Russia conflict benefits Putin. The conversation ended with discussions about independent research archives and upcoming anti-war demonstrations, with participants planning to continue these discussions in next week's meeting.
From Ukraine funding to Iran nukes and China's election interference, this episode exposes how U.S. foreign policy, intelligence, and media cover-ups shaped global events—and what Americans missed while politicians played politics. Summary: Ukraine & Endless War: $200 billion sent without a declaration of war, while Europeans could have covered costs. John Bolton calls it hypocrisy. Middle East Realities: Unlike Iraq or Afghanistan, this war directly protects the U.S., targeting real threats, not nation-building or oil schemes. Iran Threat: Iran's nuclear ambitions and unpredictable behavior demand action. U.S. and Israel are intervening to prevent another North Korea scenario. Intelligence Cover-Ups: John Solomon reports that China—and not Russia—hacked U.S. elections, creating fake ballots for Joe Biden. FBI and CIA allegedly hid this from Trump and Congress. COVID & Election Fraud: Pentagon and USAID funding allegedly enabled China to manipulate mail-in ballots, tying pandemic responses to election influence. Domestic Impacts: Unprecedented migration of Chinese, Iranian, and other foreign nationals creates a “virtual army” inside the U.S., complicating national security. Democrat Governance Fails: Kathy Hochel's statements reveal a mindset of treating taxpayers as “captives” while begging for checks to sustain high-tax policies. Media & Public Blind Spots: Most outlets ignored these stories, leaving Americans unaware of threats and policy failures. Timestamps: 00:00 – Funding Ukraine without a declaration of war 05:20 – Lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan 09:40 – Iran's nuclear threat & Israel's role 14:10 – Intelligence cover-ups: China election hacking revealed 19:00 – COVID, mail-in ballots, and election manipulation 22:50 – Domestic security threats: virtual armies inside the U.S. 26:30 – Democrat policies and the captive mindset 30:00 – Media silence and overlooked reporting Key Quotes: “This is the first war I have seen us fight in my adult lifetime where we really are going to war for ourselves to reduce threat to us.” “While screaming about Russia collusion, it was actually China all along.” “They didn't want their intel used by ‘that Bulgarian in the Oval Office.'” “Most people aren't captives anymore… they used to be, but Democrat policies are chasing them away.” “Guarantee, they're gearing up to do it again—midterms, maybe 2028.” Keywords / Custom Labels: Ukraine Funding, Iran Nuclear Threat, Israel Defense, China Election Hacking, FBI CIA Cover-Up, Hunter Biden, COVID Ballot Fraud, Democrat Policies, Election Security, Middle East War, John Solomon, Kathy Hochel
From election meddling and mass mail-in ballot fraud to Iran's nuclear threats and billions in foreign aid, today's episode exposes the hidden stories the mainstream media ignores—and what Americans need to know to protect their country. Summary: Ukraine Spending & Middle East Policy: $200 billion sent to Ukraine without a declaration of war, while Americans bear the cost. Experts like John Bolton call out hypocrisy as Europe could have covered the bill. Bases in Syria, billions spent defending foreign interests, and lessons from Iraq/Afghanistan illustrate how this is different: this war directly protects U.S. national security. Iran Nuclear Threat: Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons poses an existential threat. U.S. and Israel are acting to prevent another North Korea scenario. The left ignores these dangers despite past warnings from CIA directors about attacks on the U.S. grid. China Election Interference: John Solomon reports China—not Russia—hacked U.S. election systems, creating fake ballots for Joe Biden. FBI and CIA allegedly hid this intel from Trump and Congress. The SAFE Act could finally bring this to light. COVID & Election Fraud: Pentagon and USAID funding enabled China to manipulate mail-in ballots and mass mailers, tying pandemic responses to election influence. Hunter and Joe Biden allegedly compromised through Chinese payments. Domestic Security Risks: Tens of thousands of foreign nationals—including Chinese and Iranian—enter the U.S. each month, creating a “virtual army” and increasing the difficulty of defending against domestic threats. Democrat Governance & Economic Collapse: Kathy Hochel's plea for returning taxpayers exposes a mindset of treating citizens as “captives” while policies drive people and businesses out of states like New York. High taxes and poor governance are pushing out skilled workers and professionals. Media Blind Spots: The mainstream media largely ignores these stories, focusing on non-issues while America's security and elections are compromised. Timestamps: 00:00 – Ukraine funding, foreign aid, and “forever wars” 06:10 – Lessons from Iraq, Afghanistan, and U.S. foreign policy hypocrisy 11:50 – Iran nuclear threat & Israel's intervention 16:20 – Election interference: Russia collusion hoax vs. China's real involvement 21:40 – COVID, mail-in ballots, and Chinese election manipulation 25:30 – Domestic security threats from foreign nationals 29:10 – Democrat economic policies and the “captive” taxpayer mindset 32:50 – Media silence & the need for investigative reporting 35:00 – Epic rant of the week & closing insights Key Quotes: “This is the first war I have seen us fight in my adult lifetime where we really are going to war for ourselves to reduce threat to us.” “While screaming about Russia collusion, it was actually China all along.” “They didn't want their intel used by ‘that Bulgarian in the Oval Office.'” “Most people aren't captives anymore… they used to be, but Democrat policies are chasing them away.” “Guarantee, they're gearing up to do it again—midterms, maybe 2028.” “The SAFE Act will expose who voted, who didn't, and what foreign actors tried to manipulate our elections.” Keywords / Custom Labels: Ukraine War Funding, Iran Nuclear Threat, Israel Defense, China Election Hacking, FBI CIA Cover-Up, Hunter Biden, COVID Ballot Fraud, Democrat Policies, Election Security, Middle East War, John Solomon, Kathy Hochel, Foreign Aid, Mail-In Ballots

A political battle is brewing in Washington as President Donald Trump signals he won't endorse John Cornyn unless Republicans move forward on election security legislation. The move follows pressure from Ken Paxton, who is challenging Cornyn and pushing for passage of the SAVE Act. The clash exposes deeper tensions within the GOP between establishment leadership and Trump-aligned conservatives—and could reshape the party's future. Summary: President Donald Trump may be battling adversaries abroad, but a new political fight is unfolding at home—inside the Republican Party. The dispute centers on the Senate race between incumbent John Cornyn and challenger Ken Paxton. Paxton has urged Trump not to endorse Cornyn unless Senate Republicans pass the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections and tighten election security rules. Trump signaled over the weekend that he agrees with the demand, saying the legislation must move forward before he makes an endorsement decision. The standoff is being viewed by supporters as a significant moment in Trump's relationship with the GOP establishment. The conflict also highlights the influence of Senate leadership, including John Thune, who critics say has slowed confirmation of presidential nominees. Supporters of Trump argue these delays have made it harder for the administration to fill key legal and regulatory positions. Beyond the Senate drama, the broader political environment remains intense. Trump has also been outspoken on foreign policy—from the ongoing confrontation with Iran to discussions about Cuba's future—while trying to push his domestic agenda through a divided Washington. For many observers, the Texas Senate fight could become a defining test of loyalty and power inside the Republican Party heading into the next election cycle. Key Takeaways Donald Trump is holding back an endorsement in the Texas Senate race. Ken Paxton is pushing for passage of the SAVE Act before any endorsement. Incumbent John Cornyn faces a growing challenge within his own party. Senate leadership under John Thune is under scrutiny over delays in confirming nominees. The showdown could reshape internal GOP politics ahead of future elections. Topic Tags: Trump Politics, GOP Infighting, SAVE Act, Election Security, Texas Senate Race

Episode 4871: Left Implode Over DHS Election Security Unit
In this episode, we dive into the controversy over federal agents in Chicago, unpacking decades of ICE, CBP, and INS operations, and exposing the myths spread by politicians and media about “militarization” of American cities. From Newt Gingrich's historical perspective on the National Guard to accusations of ballot box seizure schemes, we analyze what's real, what's spun, and what it means for law enforcement and elections. Listeners will hear how long federal immigration authorities have actually been operating in Chicago, why claims of deranged Trump-led troop deployments are misleading, and how political narratives are shaping public fear. This episode cuts through the rhetoric to show the difference between historical precedent and today's election-related panic.
