On this Sunday Brunch Edition of John Solomon Reports, we're reaching back into the archives to highlight the diligent oversight work of Senator Ron Johnson through three conversations from June and July 2026.We begin on June 17, as Johnson discusses election integrity and Democratic opposition to the Save America Act, while raising concerns about FISA reauthorization, civil liberties, federal funding connected to overseas biological research, and what he describes as deep-rooted problems within the scientific research establishment.Then, on July 15, Johnson weighs in on Special Counsel Jack Smith's seizure of congressional text messages and what he views as prosecutorial overreach. He also discusses efforts to combat fraud through the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” and his concerns about entrenched federal bureaucrats working to obstruct conservative policy priorities.Finally, we revisit Johnson's July 29 interview following Dr. Anthony Fauci's congressional appearance, during which Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment. Johnson discusses possible congressional contempt proceedings and efforts to obtain voluntary transcribed interviews, while renewing his criticism of the federal government's handling of COVID-19. He alleges that health agencies failed to adequately disclose vaccine safety signals and suppressed discussion of potential early treatments, including ivermectin.Three interviews spanning six weeks offer a revealing look at Senator Ron Johnson's ongoing battles over government accountability, transparency, election integrity, public health oversight, and the power of the federal bureaucracy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey and Col. Mike –A serious country would put its citizens first. It would secure the border, fix the vote, end the subsidy for foreign fraud, and stop feeding endless wars. It would say plainly that American sovereignty is not negotiable. That kind of honesty would be disruptive. It would also be the first real act of leadership in years...

'All this good money went to waste,' says Meidas Touch's Chief Washington Correspondent, Scott MacFarlane of the Alex Vindman campaign for US Senate in Florida. He lost a primary to Democratic socialist Angie Nixon. MacFarlane comments on interim Senator Darline Graham's recent comments at a Senate campaign debate. He's still bitter that his mother wouldn't let him play PacMan as a kid.

Kamran Bokhari examines the evolution of the Iranian regime, arguing that the Supreme Leader has become a figurehead for the IRGC and security establishment. He suggests that the war has accelerated a process of internal fragmentation, though the elite remains united by a shared fear of collapse. While public uprisings have gone "underground," the regime continues to conduct mass arrests to prevent a critical mass of resistance. Bokhari describes a "post-clergy" era where the military dominates political life, noting that the regime has evolved into a different entity than it was decades ago. (8)

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: The ACLU and other anti-religion groups have asked the Supreme Court to overturn the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and declare that Texas cannot post the Ten Commandments in school classrooms. Maybe we should accept their argument that exposure is equal to advocacy, indoctrination, and establishment. That way we could apply the same to all of their Marxist, secular, Leftist crap and force it all out of schools! Frankly, this whole of issue of separation of church and state is moronically misunderstood. There is no such separation in the Constitution, only the prohibition of government creating an Established Church – which had a very specific meaning when written not a generic anti-religious meaning.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Rep. Patterson brings up, again, the idea of starting school in September. We've had this argument for decades as start dates moved earlier. What is missed by reporters and others who are ignorant what has gone before, is that it mostly has to do with football. Going lefty with near “participation trophies” for playoffs added weeks to the schedule.Texas CEO pay: Companies with the widest worker pay gaps. Why is this anyone's business? “Workers” (effectively a Marxist term) are free to buy stock and be owners in publicly traded companies but management pay is only their business as an owner, not an employee. And, note the silly union comment about workers being the ones “who make their companies profitable.” Firstly, it's not “their” company if they are employees. Secondly, if this is true then when companies fail it is the employees who “make their companies” unprofitable.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

CannCon flies solo again on the now permanent Tuesday format and opens with a genuinely wild polling scandal, where a brand new firm openly admits to running what it calls a social experiment after getting caught pushing wildly inflated numbers for a socialist candidate that ended up losing by half a point. He connects that to Rasmussen quietly getting booted from a major polling aggregator despite years of accuracy. From there he digs into a fresh CBS poll on how Democrats increasingly favor socialism over capitalism, breaking down the branding gap between what Republicans and Democrats think the word even means, and framing the whole thing as a widening civil war between the DSA and the old guard establishment. He closes with a fascinating C SPAN caller clip that has to be seen to be believed. Plenty of economic theory and political speculation packed into a solo Tuesday.

For this week's episode of the Grow the Future Podcast, we're joined by Area Manager James Willis to discuss the key considerations for establishing a successful oilseed rape crop this autumn.With many parts of the UK continuing to experience dry conditions, James shares his insights on the challenges growers face and the practical steps they can take to maximise establishment. The discussion covers the importance of creating the right conditions at drilling, the role of starter fertilisers, and why applying nitrogen at drilling can be crucial for driving rapid early growth and helping crops establish strongly.James also highlights the risks associated with clubroot, particularly where brassicas form part of the rotation, and explains what growers should consider to minimise its impact. The episode includes nutrition recommendations from Yara, including YaraMila ACTYVA S for granular fertiliser programmes, Yara Multi 18-27-0 for liquid fertiliser applications, and YaraVita Brassitrel Pro to support crop nutrition through foliar feeding.Tune in to hear why early drilling is one of the most important factors for successful oilseed rape establishment, helping crops make the most of available moisture, develop strong root systems and set the foundation for a productive season ahead.

The political establishment has spent years insisting that bold progressive candidates are simply too radical to win—especially in the Rust Belt. But Michigan may have just shattered that argument.In recent Michigan primary victories, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Donovan McKinney, and William Lawrence emerged victorious despite facing enormous financial disadvantages and opposition from establishment-backed forces.Outspent nearly ten-to-one, these candidates were dismissed as “unelectable” long before voters had their say. The conventional wisdom was predictable: progressive policies supposedly couldn't win over working-class voters in the Midwest.But then the votes were counted.They won. Hosted on Acast.

How has the upset victory of progressive Abdul El-Sayed over a DNC/AIPAC-backed corporatist in Michigan transformed the Democratic Party? Drawing on historical precedent, editorial cartoonists Ted Rall (from the Left) and Scott Stantis (from the Right) break it down on today's DMZ America Podcast. The Democratic Party is locked in a fierce internal civil war as progressive and Democratic Socialist insurgents surge against the centrist establishment. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed narrowly defeated AIPAC-backed Rep. Haley Stevens in the Senate primary despite over $60 million in dark money, framing the race as a referendum on foreign influence and corporate power. Similar upsets in New York, where Mamdani-backed candidates toppled incumbents, and victories in Colorado, Maine, and elsewhere have alarmed moderates. Groups like Third Way are mobilizing millions to attack the Left within their own party, with strategists warning of a “schism” and labeling progressives “bomb-throwers.” The clash pits economic populism, antiwar stances, and young voters against the old guard's focus on control and Israel. Establishment figures fear losing their grip on the DNC, while progressives argue the party's corporate tilt caused recent losses and demand a bold new direction.

Abdul El-Sayed is Michigan's Democratic nominee for Senate! Today, the boys delve deep into the DISCOURSE surrounding El-Sayed's primary win, what it meant to beat Haley Stevens, and how much work is needed to get him the win in November's general election. They also talk about down ballot races, most notably in MI-7 with Will Lawrence, and in MI-13 with Donavan Mckinney and their possible up ballot effects. This general is going to be messy and Republicans have already started launching vicious attacks against Abdul. From his full name to his association with Hasan Piker, there will be no (racist) stone unturned when it comes to associating this man with terrorism for the crime of being Muslim in America. Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.comSeen on this episode:Election news - https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/05/michigan-senate-primary-progressives-unclear-01025096https://bridgemi.com/michigan-government/michigan-democratic-senate-primary-results-abdul-el-sayed-haley-stevens/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/us/politics/aipac-michigan-general-election.html?eafs_enabled=falsehttps://michiganadvance.com/briefs/mike-rogers-florida-voter-registration-has-finally-been-canceled/ https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/05/us/elections/el-sayed-michigan-senate-precinct-maps.html?eafs_enabled=falsehttps://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6011344-el-sayed-rogers-michigan-senate-race/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/04/us/elections/results-michigan-us-house-13-primary.htmlhttps://www.michigan.gov/micrc/-/media/Project/Websites/MiCRC/District-Maps-by-County/MI_AllDistricts_byCounty_Wayne.pdf?rev=dc9730cf204c42649c7d111ac77a95fa&hash=4EC6481DC1FA2E1EF1FAA39A6173DD66https://www.wlns.com/your-local-election-hq/polling-predicted-a-much-larger-win-for-el-sayed-what-happened/

Writing in 1991, Rothbard sets the essay in its original context: Bretton Woods as an international dollar standard masquerading as a gold standard. He contrasts it with the classical pre-1914 system, in which every currency was a defined weight of gold redeemable on demand, then recounts how the breakdowns of 1968 and 1971 tested Misesian predictions against an Establishment certain that gold would fall to $6 an ounce.

The Michigan primary is setting the stage for a major battle between progressive challengers and establishment candidates, signaling a shifting tide within the Democratic Party. In this episode of the Rational Boomer Podcast, we analyze the voter trends, what it means for the upcoming midterms, and why the old guard is feeling the heat.

That does not mean they did not screw up in the past with other things. Doesn't mean they did either. You cannot allow the bias of liking or hating their messages determine the truth of what they may have done.The BadAfter laying low and being 5 months away from finally getting a trial on a false accuser they are back in jail. Either they thought wrongly that they could not be extradited or naively thought Trump would not turn of them.The UglyThe sheer volume of accusations out of the UK even if every one of them is false is going to take many years of litigation. They are looking at life in jail with periodic court appearances. And sadly, in the case of Andrew at least, it looks like he did use either a barely of age or possibly underage worker in his early webcam business. Which one it was will decide everything. Were they attacked for political reasons? 100% yes. Does that mean both are innocent? No. A court will decide that. Right now they don't even know who their accusers are. But I would go on a limb and say all of them were employees of the webcam business. I think they are cooked. It is the end of a era. As this thing is being litigated people will just stop talking about them and there will hardly be a mention until the results come in and then they will be forgotten again. They were by all account to people actually near them friendly guys, generous and fun. But there could be skeletons in their closet, mistakes from their youth. Or it could all be BS. Regardless guilty or innocent, once they are in the UK it is over. It is a lopsided world that this gets so much focus over federal governments in the US redacting files to protect serial pedophiles. And the UK dragging its feet to prosecute and jail grooming gangs. Update: Excepts from the New YorkerI will assume that she meant she went there to live, but had been there before to visit. Otherwise she could not have made a video in the UK in 2012. I misspoke by assuming that I should not have and so did the writer on the New Yorker. The 2012 video does not matter because there is no sex, there is no nudity either. It's just spanking with a belt, with garments on both people. Weird? Yes. Sketchy? Yes.But illegal? No. The 2014 video which is the earliest date (and may have been 2015) there is sex. However by then Bibian is of age. Andrew has the arm tattoo making it late 2014 or after because he got that in Thailand. He does not have it in his kickboxing matches from the years before. Now here is the issue. IF that was 2015 then she could be 18 and everything is legal. However IF it was in 2014 then although she was old enough to have consensual sex, there is a law against creating pornography in the UK until a person is 18. We are talking a matter of months that are the difference between 10 years in jail or nothing. (Normally the person appearing nude must be harmed in some way by it for there to be charges but it's the UK and they hate him, so that wont come into consideration). Court will have to tell. Trial by law, not the media, is how all of this should have played out. And it is super clear that the only reason the UK gives a damn about any of these events from a dozen years ago is because of the political things the Tates said. Andrew Tate is right about the war on Masculinity. He got all of that s**t right. He was a net positive, when he got out of the web-camming industry. Far more than the basic normalcy we see in Hollywood and the music industry of sexual exploitation with no upside. Let him face up to whatever he actually did. It is highly suspicious though given all these false accusations. False accusers or police/DIICOT manipulating people into false narratives should all also be punished too. And it is possible all are guilty. I can say met both guys and they were super polite and well adjusted. I can imagine them doing the things they have been accused of doing. It is more of a case of lie down with dogs wake up with fleas in my opinion. And when they were poor they did whatever to get ahead. I just think a fair trial is impossible at this point. Given the palpable rage that people have for both Tates especially Andrew and that includes the Establishment, I do not see how they can get a trial by jury at all or an impartial judge.

Chuck Todd opens with the Iran war's arrival on American soil: hackers have hit water systems across multiple states in one of the most serious cyberattacks on U.S. water infrastructure in years and investigators probing an Iranian link. Trump's response tells you everything about the presidency in its current state — he didn't blame the attacker, he blamed the victim, using the hack as an occasion to attack Minnesota Democrats. Chuck’s question hangs over the whole segment: was Trump briefed on the Iranian connection and went after Minnesota anyway? Either way, the first instinct was to find a Democrat to blame, which Chuck calls a kind of polarization disease that leaves a president caring more about his narrative than about American citizens drinking the water. It fits a pattern the episode keeps circling: Jeanine Pirro presented false evidence to a grand jury blaming a former Olympian for damage to the White House reflecting pool, dropped the case when Interior produced documents proving otherwise, and Trump publicly disagreed with dropping it because he still insists it was vandals. Chuck argues negative information never reaches Trump, and people who bring him bad news don't last long — which is how you end up with a president insisting affordability is a Democratic scam Then, Chuck highlights a Wall Street Journal piece that lays out Trump's corruption — roughly $800 million raised through what amounts to an advertised pay-to-play scheme. Anti-corruption is a devastating midterm message sitting right there for Democrats to pick up… then Chuck Schumer rolled out a bill that Chuck calls a piece of garbage: it wouldn't even cover the conduct in the WSJ story, it's likely unconstitutional because it names individuals, and — most absurdly — it creates a new anti-corruption agency inside the executive branch, meaning a corrupt president would appoint its director and seven board members and, per the Supreme Court, could fire them at will. Congress can already do every bit of the oversight the agency would perform and Schumer's answer to executive corruption is to hand the executive more power and write Congress out of its own job. He closes on Michigan and Wisconsin as the clearest signals of where the Democratic Party is headed — Abdul El-Sayed running a movement inside a Senate race with the explicit goal of changing the party, DSA-endorsed Francesca Wong leading in Wisconsin while the establishment fails to coordinate against her — and on the DSA's new call to abolish the Senate, which Senate Democrats pushed back on without ever defending the institution. Chuck defends it himself: the Senate is a feature, not a bug, a brake on political extremism, and the right response to losing an argument is to win it rather than rewrite the rules. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit Watergate and Richard Nixon’s resignation, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Chuck defends it himself: the Senate is a feature, not a bug, a brake on political extremism, and the right response to losing an argument is to win it rather than rewrite the rules. Then, Dr. Brian King — the former director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, who was placed on administrative leave in April 2025 as part of the mass HHS layoffs joins the Chuck Toddcast to explain what happens to public health when the agency charged with protecting it gets deliberately dismantled. King walks through the extraordinary progress America made reducing cigarette smoking over decades, and how quickly that's being unwound: the tobacco industry donated millions to Trump's PAC, executives pressured the White House directly, and the payoff has been regulatory capture and mounting pressure on the FDA to bring flavored products back to market. He's clear-eyed rather than absolutist on the science — combustible products are far and away the most harmful, nicotine itself is highly addictive but isn't what's killing people, though it's genuinely not risk-free for the adolescent brain — and he walks Chuck through the comparison to caffeine, the data on whether vaping serves as a gateway back into smoking, and what's actually known about nicotine pouches, where youth usage isn't high but stubbornly isn't declining either. The industry, meanwhile, is spending roughly a million dollars an hour advertising its products while fighting every government action to reduce smoking. The conversation turns to what actually works and what's being abandoned. King argues the two most effective interventions available are reducing nicotine levels in cigarettes and banning menthol, credits Congress for getting the Tobacco Control Act right, and stresses that Congress — not the FDA acting alone — has to be the one to regulate tobacco, which is precisely why sidelining the agency is so damaging. He and Chuck get into the questions nobody in Washington wants to answer: why are cigarettes legal at all, how are sugary alcoholic beverages not treated in the same category, and where did the money from the 1998 master settlement actually go. King is pointed that the MAHA movement, for all its rhetoric about chronic disease, has done nothing prominent on tobacco, and that the FDA is now actively undermining both the science and the law it was built to enforce. His closing warning is the bleakest note of the episode: America is in a public health apocalypse that will take decades to repair, it will be enormously hard to recruit a next generation into the field, the entire world will be harmed by the collapse of American public health infrastructure — and the impacts are only just beginning to show up.

The left is insurgent, and the establishment could not be more worried. In the closing days of this Michigan primary, the boys bring you TWO banger segments. First, Haley Stevens recently signal boosted a diabolical article written by a never-Trump conservative ideologue titled "Now the Democratic Party's Self-Destructive Wing Turns to Michigan". Naturally, the boys break down the think piece and explain how the establishment is mortified at the prospect of no longer having to moderate to win swing state elections if Abdul El-Sayed is victorious. Second, Gage sits down with Donavan McKinney, current State Representative and Congressional candidate for Michigan's 13th District, to discuss Shri Thanedar's failures, what Detroit needs from D.C., and the progressive left movement broadly.Phone bank for Abdul (Gage's session is 7/31 at 4PM): https://go.abdulforsenate.com/jeremy-and-gage-phone-bank-takeoverSupport Donavan McKinney: https://www.donavanforcongress.com(0:00) PHONEBANK FOR ABDUL(1:54) Intro/announcements(5:05) Opinion Piece about Abdul(35:40) Interview with Donavan McKinneySeen on this episode:Opinion piece about Abdul - https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/07/22/sanders-warren-aocs-support-el-sayed-hurts-democratic-hopes/

Thaddeus McCotter describes the Michigan Democratic Senate primary as a "civil war" between establishment candidate Haley Stevens and progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. The candidates are sharply divided over AIPAC funding and support for Israel. Stevens is endorsed by high-profile figures like Gretchen Whitmer and Barack Obama. The result will indicate if the Democratic Socialists of America can succeed in a statewide race in a swing state. (15)1690

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. In 1649, Charles I was tried and executed in public, a shocking event that horrified European monarchs. The segment explores the establishment of the Protectorate under Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector. John Lambert drafted the Instrument of Government, England's first written constitution, which included checks and balances and religious protections for Protestants. Although Cromwell refused the crown, his rule relied on military strength and the imposition of Puritan values, such as banning Christmas celebrations. Upon Cromwell's death in 1658, his son Richard failed to maintain control, leading the nation back into political chaos. (6)2650
