Thune Warns GOP Could Lose Senate, As Federal Judge Blocks Trump's New Executive Order Ending Birthright Citizenship… PLUS, Killer Mom Lindsay Clancy Receives Loads Of Fan Mail, Bartiromo Out At Fox & CIA Asset Steinem Dead At 92

In this mid-week special, you may have noticed a change in our introduction, that we're listing TFSR.Media as our website (a work in progress, currently pointed at our blog, soon to be pointed at our new web host). This is because we're moving our website from NoBlogs.org following the August 26, 2026 announcements by the US State Department and Department of Treasury that designated the hosts of NoBlogs, the Italian autonomous tech collective Autistici / Inventati as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and placed it on the Specially Designated Nationals list under Executive Order 13224. In this conversation you'll hear a member of the crimethinc ex-workers collective and Sprout from Sabot Media talk about the designation, the intended impacts on anarchist, antifascist and other movements by the US government, and what can come next if we're up for the fight. I invite listeners to check out the statement from CrimethInc as well as the public letter still awaiting more signatures and articles available on the subject from sabot.media. There's also a recent chat by Outlaw podcast with Shayana Kadidal of the Center for Constitutional Rights on the legal elements of this chat, alongside a list of rad servers from Riseup that could be helpful for people looking for new web hosting homes for their projects.

Shortly after retaking office, President Trump signed executive orders reorienting the federal government’s approach to civil rights. Those orders directed agencies to identify and eliminate unlawful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and other practices involving race- or sex-based discrimination, while emphasizing equal treatment, individual merit, and nondiscrimination. In April of last year, Executive Order 14281 (Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy) went further, announcing a policy to "eliminate the use of disparate-impact liability in all contexts to the maximum degree possible" — placing renewed focus on one of the oldest and most consequential debates in antidiscrimination law.Join us for a webinar that examines how the administration’s civil rights agenda is being implemented across the federal government.Featuring:Hon. Brittany Bull Panuccio, Commissioner, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity CommissionHon. Craig Trainor, Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban DevelopmentHon.

We break down a major headline taking over the news as a Postal Service whistleblower speaks out regarding President Trump's executive order on voter rolls. Dawn and election integrity attorney Linda Kearns examine allegations that the USPS hastily built a new ballot tracking system that could end up rejecting thousands of mail-in ballots. We dive into the legal, political, and policy fallout surrounding mail-in voting in Pennsylvania, comparing the state's outdated election code to Florida's streamlined voting procedures. Linda explains the risks of voter roll lists, why drop boxes may actually be safer than standard mailboxes, and how election code reform remains a critical fight ahead of upcoming elections. Dawn and the crew react to the ongoing jury deliberations in the high-profile Lindsay Clancy trial. Tensions flare in the studio as Dawn expresses her intense frustration with the deliberating jury, demanding swift justice for the three slain children and questioning the defense's strategy. Linda provides a grounded legal perspective on the realities of the American justice system, explaining why getting twelve jurors to agree is an uphill battle, how insanity defenses work, and what a potential verdict or institutional commitment actually means for the case. Dawn shifts the focus back to finding peace amidst a heavy news cycle, highlighting the small joys of summer, the beauty of fireflies, and her trust in Natural Lawn of America for fall lawn care. To wrap up the show on a much-needed lighter note, we share a heartwarming video of a piano-playing, howling dog accompanied by a dancing toddler, reminding us all to stay grateful and enjoy a relaxing afternoon before handing the mic over to The Dom Show.

AP correspondent Nicholas Riccardi reports President Trump's executive order on mail balloting could result in the rejection of many mail ballots.

A lot can happen in a week. Mary and Andrew begin with the most recent movement in the court battle against President Trump's three-tiered mail-in voting executive order. Last week, Judge Talwani issued a fresh injunction blocking one provision of the EO centered around the Postal Service, two days after the Supreme Court lifted a block from the same judge, saying the provisions in the EO could not be applied to November's midterms. The co-hosts affirm that this fight is far from over before moving to two more updates from cases they talked about last week: a motion brought by Mary's ICAP team alongside others challenging the 2026 birthright citizenship EO and a decision on Minnesota's effort to extradite an ICE agent from Texas, after he was charged with shooting Julio Sosa-Celis through the door of a Minnesota home. Next, a win for Anthropic after a federal judge ruled against the Pentagon, saying it acted illegally in labeling the AI company a “supply chain risk.” Plus: a moving video from an active-duty Marine Colonel pleading for an Afghan national to return to the US after he was deported- despite his asylum status after his family helped the US military in Afghanistan. A video edition of this episode is available on YouTube now.

The Korean War is often called America's "Forgotten War"—and even more forgotten are the struggles of the African American soldiers who served in it. Two years after Executive Order 9981 ordered the desegregation of the armed forces, Black troops—like those in the 24th Infantry Regiment—were still serving in segregated units and facing glaring racial bias in the military justice system. When Black soldiers were unjustly convicted for refusing suicidal orders without artillery or air support, NAACP Special Counsel Thurgood Marshall flew straight to Korea to uncover the truth. Step back in time to 1951 with the latest episode of Trey's Table as we break down the investigation, the court-martials, and the fight for justice on the front lines.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports a whistleblower says the Postal Service's effort to comply with President Trump's mail balloting executive order is rushed and sloppy.

The psychedelic renaissance is here — money is pouring in, states are legalizing, and a federal executive order has fast-tracked ibogaine research for veterans. But if you're a conservative, a skeptic, or just politically homeless, is there room for you in this movement? In this episode I welcome back therapist Karen King (last heard in episodes 81 and 97) alongside her co-author Wesley Smith, a small-c conservative who stumbled into psychedelics through a paragliding accident. Together they've written Sensible Psychedelics: Why the Psychedelic Renaissance Needs Conservatives, Skeptics, and the Politically Homeless.We dig into what Karen witnessed firsthand in the very first therapist training cohort: a week spent dismantling privilege and naming genders rather than discussing consciousness, clinical skills, or facilitation. We talk about why that ideological capture isn't just annoying — it's dangerous. When a patient's mind is cracked wide open in a psychedelic state, a facilitator who imprints their own politics is committing something close to abuse. Wesley shares the veterans angle, where an anti-colonial culture hopes to turn warriors into pacifists.But this isn't a cynical conversation. We explore the genuine healing psychedelics can offer — Karen's work helping a dying woman conquer her fear of death, Wesley's reconciliation with his late father — and ask the questions this movement keeps avoiding: Why does psychedelic culture skew so far left? Where are the liberals whose journeys made them more curious about people they'd dismissed? And can a self-regulating, transparent ecosystem — maybe even one built around churches — grow up outside the captured certification boards?Are you an ROGD parent looking to do some deep, inner work for healing? A trusted friend has a special small-group offering called “Parents Heal Together” which might be a good fit for you.

The former founder of a multidisciplinary behavioral health clinic, she specializes in contemplative and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Karen also hosts the Nuanced Therapist Network, a private, vetted community for heterodox therapists.Wesley Smith is a “small c” conservative psychonaut and writer working to bring the psychedelic renaissance out of the counterculture and into the living rooms of average Americans. After a head injury led him to explore nontraditional paths for healing, he found that psychedelics can deepen the values conservatives hold dear — faith, family, duty, and personal responsibility. His co-authored case in Sensible Psychedelics pairs evidence-based research with a culturally grounded argument for humility, gratitude, and moral clarity.[00:00:00] Start[00:03:15] Trump's Executive Order and State Psychedelic Laws[00:06:57] A Conservative's Accidental Path to Psychedelics[00:14:45] Karen's Path Through Ketamine-Assisted Therapy[00:18:50] Ideological Capture in Psychedelic Training[00:21:52] Imprinting Values, Vulnerability, and Veterans[00:29:07] Ketamine Case Study and Personal Growth[00:35:56] Why the Psychedelic World Skews Left[00:44:52] How Psychedelics Broadened Wesley's Empathy[00:48:33] Therapy as Dismantling Civilization[00:52:23] Regulation, Transparency, and Psychedelic ChurchesROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

In dieser Folge von "Amerika, wir müssen reden" sprechen Jiffer Bourguignon und Ingo Zamperoni über gleich vier große Themen, die die USA und die Welt bewegen. Zunächst geht es um den eskalierten Handelsstreit zwischen den USA und Kanada: nach neuen US-Zöllen hatte der kanadische Premierminister Mark Carney Gegenzölle bis zu 50% angekündigt. Woraufhin US-Präsident Donald Trump per Executive Order den "Lake Ontario" in "Lake America" umbenannt hat - ein symbolischer Akt in einem Konflikt, der längst handfeste wirtschaftliche Folgen hat. Wie dieser Konflikt ausgeht, könnte richtungsweisend für den Rest der Welt sein - und zeigen, ob Konfrontation oder Beschwichtigung die bessere Strategie gegenüber Trumps Zollpolitik ist, prognostiziert Ingo.Nach der Absetzung von Präsident Nicolas Maduro kontrollieren die USA nun einen erheblichen Teil der venezolanischen Ölreserven. Trump verkündete jetzt einen großen Öl-Deal zwischen den USA und Venezuela - doch wie sieht dieser Deal genau aus? Es bleiben Fragezeichen, die USA seien kein verlässlicher Partner mehr, analysiert Jiffer.Gespannt hat Ingo die Klage fast aller US-Bundesstaaten gegen den Instagram- und Facebook-Mutterkonzern Meta beobachtet. Dabei ging es um den Vorwurf, Meta hätte bewusst die Suchtgefahren seiner Social-Media-Produkte für Kinder und Jugendliche verharmlost und Abhängigkeiten verursacht. Nun hat Meta sich auf einen teuren Vergleich mit den Klägern geeinigt und muss neben einer Milliarden-Zahlung auch erhebliche Änderungen zum Jugendschutz einführen. Da habe die Justiz Zähne gezeigt, schätzt Ingo diesen wegweisenden Vergleich ein und vermutet, dass jetzt weltweit neue Regeln zum Schutz von Jugendlichen kommen werden.Und schließlich erinnern die beiden Hosts an Dolly Parton. Die Country-Legende ist im Alter von 80 Jahren gestorben. Ihr Tod vereinte ein gespaltenes Amerika wie kaum etwas sonst.Feedback an Jiffer und Ingo - podcast@ndr.deTrump nennt Ontario-See jetzt "Lake America"https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amerika/usa-kanada-streit-ontario-100.htmlWas steckt hinter dem Öl-Abkommen mit Venezuela?https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amerika/venezuela-oel-faq-100.htmlMeta-Vergleich als Vorlage für alle sozialen Medien?https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/digitales/usa-meta-vergleich-jugendschutz-100.htmlNachruf zum Tod von Dolly Partonhttps://www.tagesschau.de/kultur/dolly-parton-nachruf-100.htmlPodcast-Tipp: Hateland - "Die Schill Show"https://1.ard.de/hateland2_tipp

President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” for U.S. government use amid ongoing trade tensions with Canada. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listeners were treated to a jam-packed show as the crew weighed in on growing concerns surrounding legendary singer Gladys Knight after recent performances sparked debate about her well-being. The conversation comes as Knight announced she is scaling back her live appearances and focusing more on family and personal projects after fans expressed concern over several recent onstage moments. The show also dug into NBA star Jimmy Butler’s ongoing child support case, with reports revealing that Butler and the mother of his three children, Kaitlin Nowak, have reached a comprehensive parenting agreement and are reportedly living together while finalizing remaining legal matters. Court records previously established Butler as the father of the children and included child support payments of $55,000 per month. Meanwhile, Keke Palmer made headlines after clarifying earlier comments about being “asexual,” explaining that she simply does not feel as sexual as society expects and that attraction for her is rooted more in mental and emotional connection than physical appearance. The show also welcomed gospel icon Kirk Franklin, who reflected on his decades-long career, discussed hosting the upcoming Stellar Gospel Music Awards, and introduced his new single, "Thank You for Everything,” featuring Karen Clark Sheard, which serves as the lead release from an upcoming project that blends traditional church music with contemporary gospel sounds. Other notable topics included discussion of President Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” for U.S. government use amid ongoing trade tensions with Canada, along with the show’s signature humor, entertainment news, and lively listener interaction.

Two days after he sued, a federal grand jury indicted him. He never got the gold back. Hans opens with an update on Brian, who may be home temporarily in September or October but likely stays on active duty orders, then turns to the Treasury's announcement that it is doubling its long end buyback operations from two billion to four billion. The dollar figure is a rounding error against forty trillion in debt. The signal is not, and it is the same move Scott Bessent spent the last two years criticizing Janet Yellen for making.Chapters 00:00 – Opening segment 02:20 – No end in sight and why nobody negotiates with America anymore 06:35 – Reading the macro tape without becoming a permabear 07:55 – The Treasury doubles its long end buybacks 09:15 – The economic equivalent of no new foreign wars 11:50 – Where Hans actually sits on the political spectrum13:10 – Two billion to four billion: the substance of the move 14:05 – Bills, notes, and bonds, and why the distinction matters here 16:35 – Off-the-run long bonds and a disorderly long end 17:35 – What they are buying and what is paying for it 19:00 – One leg of QE, not the money printing leg 20:15 – Yellen's trillion dollar mistake and the two percent mortgage analogy 22:40 – Bessent criticized this exact move, then made it 23:55 – Yield curve control and how far away it actually is 24:25 – Intervening into a record high market with no visible fever 26:00 – The debasement trade and the stock market as pressure release valve 28:30 – The yen intervention and why Japan matters 29:15 – The repo facility and keeping Treasuries out of foreign hands 32:20 – What all three moves have in common 33:30 – Hormuz closed, oil creeping, and an empty petroleum reserve 36:45 – Japan as the roadmap for where this road ends 37:50 – Homeschooling, wristbands, and the safe and inclusive playground 43:35 – Frederick Barber Campbell walks into Chase National Bank 46:05 – The lawsuit, the indictment, and the demurrer 49:50 – When a dollar was a bearer claim on gold 51:55 – Benjamin Strong, the Bank of England, and the boom that had to bust 53:10 – How the Fed was sold to America in 1913 55:50 – Nine thousand banks fail and the money supply drops a third 58:50 – The Fed as an instrument of extraction 01:00:35 – Where America sits in the line, and the prison hierarchy analogy 01:03:50 – Hamilton, specie, and the principle of productive credit 01:06:05 – The bank holiday and the Emergency Banking Act 01:07:45 – Five words added to the Trading with the Enemy Act 01:10:20 – Executive Order 6102 defines hoarding as owning 01:16:20 – The markup from twenty dollars to thirty-five 01:17:35 – The Gold Reserve Act and the Exchange Stabilization Fund 01:18:35 – Marriner Eccles and the fight over the lever of power 01:21:25 – Carter Glass fights the bill he made possible 01:22:30 – The FOMC is created and open market operations take over 01:24:45 – Killing the regional discount rate and the governor it provided 01:27:30 – Half a Keynesian equation with no brakes on the other sideKey TakeawaysThe size of the buyback is not the story. Doubling from two billion to four billion per operation is meaningless against forty trillion in debt. What matters is that the Treasury told the market, in a public press release, that it will step in and buy the long end when demand thins out.

President Trump’s new executive order on childhood vaccines has created fresh questions about what is changing, what is not, and what families should do now. In this episode of The Health Advocates, Steven Newmark breaks down the order’s major provisions, including proposals to reduce the number of universally recommended vaccines, space out vaccinations, and eventually separate the MMR vaccine into individual measles, mumps, and rubella shots. He also explains the limits of the executive order, including the fact that states still control school vaccination requirements and that many of the proposed changes would require additional federal action, new products, or further implementation. The episode also examines the scientific evidence behind the existing vaccine schedule, the risks of delaying vaccination, and why changing recommendations could create particular concerns for people living with chronic illness or weakened immune systems. Most importantly, Steven offers practical guidance for parents trying to navigate conflicting recommendations and increasing confusion around vaccine policy.

According to Mary and Andrew, recent moves by President Trump's administration have been following a pattern: “If at first you don't succeed, try try again.” The co-hosts begin by breaking down the flurry of news surrounding mail voting, starting with Monday afternoon's decision by the Supreme Court to allow President Trump's executive order curtailing mail voting to proceed, though not issuing a decision on the merits of the order. They discuss that decision in conjunction with the Postal Service's announcement on Friday for a final rule that would comply with the executive order, a move that Andrew calls a proxy for the government to “have the Postal Service act in a way that has a clearly disproportionate impact on certain voters.” Then, a conversation about birthright citizenship after a motion was filed yesterday rejecting Trump's executive orders that attempt to limit the legal principle. Plus, an analysis of the Second and Ninth Circuit Court's rulings disqualifying U.S. Attorneys that were improperly appointed by Trump and a quick nod to Minnesota suing the governor of Texas for not extraditing an ICE agent accused of shooting a man in Minneapolis.  Tune in next week as we switch to Wednesday morning releases — and video editions of Main Justice available on YouTube.

Hawk reads the order rather than the coverage, and the distinction matters. The Court did not decide whether any of this is lawful. It held that the states lack standing because the order has not been implemented, that a president may direct agencies within his own branch, and that setting prosecutorial priorities falls under Article II. The majority says explicitly that implementation may still prove unlawful. The dissent argues the two subsections cannot be read apart. Citizenship lists get built in one, investigations get prioritized in the next, and the government has conceded those lists will be incomplete. Two things most reports will miss. Judge Indira Talwani has injunctions in two separate cases and today's order reaches only one. And Steve Vladeck notes the Postal Service rule is already written, with a ruling on it possible within hours. Seventy days out, the practical timeline may matter more than the legal one.

Follow Dr. G here: https://www.tiktok.com/@drg.bodylanguage The part Hawk keeps coming back to is why the temperature is rising now. The Save Act has not moved through the Senate. The Supreme Court has not ruled on the executive order aimed at mail voting. The effort to obtain state voter rolls has lost in court repeatedly. The midterms are coming and the numbers are not close. The Iran war has no exit. Canada walked away from a trade deal. That is a lot of corners at once, and Hawk expects the reaction to get sharper, particularly toward reporters. He also walks through why the 25th Amendment is not the remedy people imagine. If a president contests removal, Congress decides, and the threshold is high enough that party loyalty settles it. Go follow Dr. G, tagged in the description.

Host: Lalo Solorzano, Andy Shiles Guest(s): Hugo Pakula Published: TBD Length: ~33 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Customs compliance isn't just getting more complicated—enforcement is getting smarter. In this episode of Simply Trade, hosts Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles sit down with Hugo Pakula, founder of Tru Identity, to examine how technology, data, and changing enforcement priorities are reshaping the relationship between U.S. Customs and Border Protection, importers, and customs brokers. The conversation explores a fundamental shift: being compliant may no longer be enough. Importers and brokers increasingly need to be able to demonstrate compliance through accurate data, documented controls, and processes capable of identifying risk before cargo reaches the border. Hugo discusses why strong master data is becoming critical, how CBP's increasingly sophisticated approach to targeting changes the compliance equation, and why companies should focus less on simply processing more entries and more on building systems that balance speed, accuracy, and control. The discussion also examines Executive Order 14411, Strengthening Customs Enforcement, and what heightened enforcement, supply-chain visibility, penalty policies, and risk-based scrutiny could mean for trade professionals. The takeaway for leadership: compliance shouldn't be viewed only as a cost center. Done well, it can become a strategic advantage. Main Topic / Discussion From Reactive Compliance to Proactive Risk Management For years, importers could discover a problem only after a shipment reached the port and CBP intervened. Hugo argues that the better model is identifying discrepancies earlier—before they become holds, penalties, audits, or costly delays. That requires companies to think beyond simply processing transactions. Importers and brokers need reliable master data and processes capable of examining information across shipments, products, suppliers, and supply chains. Being Compliant vs. Proving Compliance One of Hugo's central points is that compliance now has two dimensions: doing the work correctly and being able to demonstrate that the work was done correctly. As enforcement technology becomes more sophisticated, companies need the records, controls, and data to support their decisions. That becomes particularly important when CBP may have information about suppliers or deeper tiers of a supply chain that an importer does not immediately see. Executive Order 14411 and Stronger Enforcement The episode discusses Executive Order 14411, Strengthening Customs Enforcement, issued June 3, 2026. The order calls for a series of customs reforms, including heightened importer requirements, additional supply-chain disclosures, stronger enforcement measures, revised mitigation standards, and risk-based approaches to importers. For importers and brokers, the message is clear: waiting until CBP identifies a problem is an increasingly risky strategy. Back to the Basics: Better Data Despite all the discussion about AI and automation, Hugo argues that the industry's future also looks surprisingly familiar. Companies still need to answer foundational questions: • What is the product? • What is it made of? • Who is involved in making it? • What is its intended use? Clean, structured master data around those questions can make it easier to respond when tariffs, trade remedies, enforcement priorities, or other requirements change. Compliance as a Growth Lever The episode closes with an important message for executives: compliance doesn't have to be treated purely as overhead. Better compliance data can support impact analysis, sourcing decisions, forecasting, risk management, and more strategic relationships between importers and customs brokers. Freeing compliance professionals from constant reactive work can give them more time to deliver that strategic value. Key Takeaways • Being compliant isn't the finish line. Importers and brokers increasingly need to be able to demonstrate their compliance with reliable data and documented controls. • Master data matters. Understanding product composition, manufacturers, suppliers, and other underlying attributes creates a stronger foundation for responding to changing trade requirements. • Think proactively, not reactively. Finding a discrepancy before goods reach the border is far better than discovering it after CBP holds the cargo. • Treat compliance as a strategic capability. Strong compliance can support better sourcing, forecasting, risk management, and business decisions—not just prevent penalties.

There's two big cases related to mail in voting tied to an executive order that could have a decision soon.   Joining me now to talk a little more about that, is ABC News Legal analyst Royal Oakes.

An executive order Gov. Tim Walz signed Tuesday blocks copper mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. But whether the ban becomes permanent could depend on Walz's successor.El Niño is strengthening quickly, according to NOAA, and that could have big implications for Minnesota's upcoming winter.A federal judge will hear arguments Wednesday on a request to upend Minnesota's new law banning use of AI to create certain nude images. The law passed this year seeks to punish use of AI technology that permits creation and distribution of fake images of people naked without their consent.Minnesota and U.S. vaccination rates declined while exemptions are at a record high, according to new data from the CDC.A new MPR News and APM Reports investigation is having a political impact in Liberia.

Mary and Andrew begin this week by addressing Todd Blanche's “Meet the Press” interview with Kristen Welker, where, among other things, the newly appointed Attorney General proclaimed that “no attorney general should ever pledge” to act independently of the White House, despite decades of post-Watergate reforms. Keeping in the Blanche vicinity, the co-hosts detail a complaint filed by former Michigan AUSA Sunita Doddamani, who alleged she was fired without cause simply for doing her job prosecuting FACE Act violations. Then, a dive into revelations of undercover agents targeting Minnesota nonprofit organizations as part of an investigation that led to indictments of protestors that, in Mary's view, included “a whole lot of First Amendment protected activity.” Plus, Trump changes a Treasury Department rule making it harder to find fraud and illegal activity and asks the Supreme Court to let him keep building the ballroom while they appeal a lower court block. Last up, an unsatisfying end to litigation against the administration over their use of the Alien Enemies Act after the 5th Circuit en banc panel dismissed the case. Further Reading:  Here is the filing in the case Sunita Doddamani brought to challenge her firing.

Rep. Pete Stauber authored the bill that reauthorized mining near the BWCA in Northern MN. He joins Jason to react to the Governor trying to shut that down via executive order. As you'd imagine, he's not happy.

Gov. Tim Walz issued a state executive order Tuesday prohibiting copper-nickel mining over about 350 square miles in the Rainy River watershed in northeast Minnesota. The action comes just four months after Congress voted to overturn the Biden-era mining ban in the region.Duluth-based reporter Dan Kraker joined Minnesota Now to help us sort through it all.

John Haar, back for his first Café appearance since leaving Swan for Blockware, opens on the 55th anniversary of the Nixon Shock. His argument: gold's own physical properties, the time, trust, and armed transport required to settle in it, are what let the 1971 dollar-gold break happen and stick. No one could credibly refuse. Asked whether the US might literally "back" the dollar with Bitcoin, John pushes back on the framing. He doesn't see explicit convertibility returning; more likely a sovereign-wealth-fund-style holding that supports confidence in the currency without any fixed exchange rate. Confiscation history, and 1971 counted as one. Executive Order 6102 in 1933, a little-known 1959 Australian law forcing gold surrender to the Reserve Bank, and a 1966 UK law capping residents at four gold coins. John's read: severing convertibility was itself an indirect seizure, since dollar holders lost access to the metal without a single coin being confiscated. The confiscation trade-off, stated plainly: Bitcoin can vanish in an instant through a mistake; fiat vanishes slowly through inflation. John argues neither risk profile is fully solved, which is why he expects Bitcoin and fiat to coexist for a long time, and why he points listeners toward collaborative multisig self-custody (Vault, Unchained, Casa) over solo cold storage. The debt numbers, from three directions at once. US debt crossed $40 trillion this week; annual interest has passed defense spending and sits behind only Medicare and Social Security. Suze: UK debt interest is running around £109 billion a year, more than the entire education and defence budgets combined, about £3,220 per working person. Roxana adds a year-by-year US/UK comparison back to 2021, the pandemic as the shock that reset the baseline. ⭐ A genuinely sharp MMT critique from John, anchored to a receipt: Larry Summers, a mainstream economist with no sound-money priors, posted in 2022 that 2022's CPI would have peaked near 18% under the old inflation methodology instead of the reported 9%. John's broader point: Modern Monetary Theory's post-2008 "QE doesn't cause inflation" claim was really about QE backfilling a contracting money supply, and MMTers overextended that into a general rule that collapsed against 2022's numbers. Frank Corva's field report from a 2023 screening of the MMT documentary "Finding the Money": a viral clip of establishment economist Jared Bernstein fumbling a question on how money is created was cut by MMT advocates to claim the mainstream doesn't understand money either, while, per Frank, the film's own thesis pushes further left than the Keynesian it mocks. His two go-to informed politicians on this material: Nick Begich (introduced the Bitcoin Act) and Warren Davidson. Frank's number of the day: minimum wage measured in gold. Federal minimum wage has gone from $1.60/hour in July 1971 to today's rate; priced in gold instead of dollars, that 1971 wage would be roughly $198/hour, about $8,000 a week now. Cory joins from Istanbul to argue the dollar remains "the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry" globally, that gold has again overtaken Treasuries as the top central-bank reserve asset, and that today's AI capex bubble likely resolves in a Bitcoin-negative risk-off phase before capital rotates back in, on a multi-year timeline. ⭐ Mining block: John lays out five reasons Bitcoin's 2021-2025 hashrate growth won't repeat, tied throughout to the AI buildout competing for the same capital, chips, and power contracts: the unrepeatable 2021 mining economics, public miners pivoting to AI/HPC data centers, slowing ASIC development as chipmakers prioritize AI silicon, AI's ability to lock long-duration power contracts miners can't match, and the sheer physical scale needed to double an already-large network. At current ~920 exahash, he estimates a nation-state attack would require roughly 2 million frontier ASICs and $10 billion in capex, still a high bar.

It is Tuesday so that means we have to catch up with our friend Torey Van Oot of Axios Twin Cities and she joins LIVE from Afton moments after Governor Tim Walz addressed the media there regarding this new executive order banning the use of BWCA for mining - we get into that, some of her takeaways from last week's primaries and much more!

On our political radar this week… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Republican general election strategy has been launched. It's a 3-legged stool of misdirection: Gaslight voters on the economy, taxes and Trump's failed war against Iran Accuse any and all Democrats of wanting to bring Communism to America Constantly remind voters that Abdul El-Sayed is a Muslim which makes him a terrorist – the 2026 version of Trump's claim that Obama was born in Kenya Trump gave Democrats another campaign talking point this week with a bonkers Executive Order urging fewer vaccinations for children, something that doctors are vehemently saying will cause the preventable deaths of children. Trump's basis for the E.O? Some people have been saying things! By “some people”, he mostly means Bobby Kennedy Jr. and the anti-vax conspiracy cabal. Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel, State Rep. Julie Brixie and Eric Schneidewind of Protect Our Care Michigan State Democrats have kicked off their counter-campaign, focusing on the actual state of the economy, healthcare, abortion rights and Trump's unprecedented corruption. They've labeled their the gubernatorial portion of their campaign “The John James: Out for Himself” tour. (Andrew Roth/Michigan Advance) The last few days have shown that every vote, does in fact, matter. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed's margin over Haley Stevens was 0.95 percent. In Wisconsin, DSA gubernatorial candidate Francesca Wong lost to David Crowley by 0.5 percent, just 3,706 votes. And in Indiana, a recount this last week in a hotly contested Republican state Senate primary was decided by 3 votes. John James has announced he will work to protect Michigan from the half-dozen or so transgender girls participating in high school sports. According to the Michigan High School Athletic Association, every year one or two transgender girls apply for a waiver to join a team. According to the MHSAA, nearly 300-thousand Michigan boys and girls are on their school teams this year. No word yet on what James has planned for the other 299-thousand. In Michigan, we'll be voting on whether to rewrite the state's constitution through a constitutional convention.That's because the current constitution, adopted 62 years ago, requires a vote on a having a Con-Con every 16 years. We've voted on the question 3 times over the years, and each time it was defeated overwhelmingly. A new Con-Con would, without doubt, be batshit crazy. Leaders all across the political spectrum have lined up urging a ‘no' vote. Mark Fisk and John Sellek Joining the conversation: two leaders in the “Vote No” campaign.

In this edition of Untamed Patrick steps in for Joe to deliver an uncompromising look at how language manipulation and radical cultural shifts are quietly redefining the American landscape. Opening with a sharp breakdown of the Overton Window, Patrick exposes how extreme agendas are laundered into mainstream policy under the guise of moderate rhetoric. From the exploitation of birthright citizenship and the erosion of legal immigration standards to state governments funding non-citizen assistance at the expense of taxpayers, this segment lays bare how foundational American history is being weaponized to dismantle the nation from within.Renowned cardiologist, epidemiologist, and public health whistleblower Dr. Peter A. McCullough joins the broadcast for a hard-hitting investigation into America's medical establishment. Dr. McCullough analyzes the stark double standards governing mRNA safety protocols during pregnancy, the regulatory gaps between legal entry mandates and border processing, and the fallout surrounding newly proposed mRNA vaccines. He also provides an expert evaluation of the Executive Order targeting the U.S. childhood immunization schedule while weighing in on the institutional collapse surrounding basic biological realities.The broadcast concludes with a sobering inspection of the systemic crisis gripping public education. Through whistleblower accounts exposing forced grade fabrications to boost administrative metrics, distorted grading scales in states like California, and controversial school-sanctioned field trips,Patrick highlights how traditional academics are being sidelined for ideological activism. Tune in for a comprehensive, no-holds-barred examination of the institutional erosion threatening our culture, healthcare system, and schools.

Will Rosenzwieg was an Assistant US Attorney in Florida working on a significant Medicare fraud case when he was summarily fired by then AG Pam Bondi, citing Article II. He's now suing AG Todd Blanche and the Justice Department. His attorney, Margaret Donovan, joins this episode to share how a years-old blog Rosenzwieg had written criticizing Trump—before he was ever a federal employee—led to his dismissal, hours after it surfaced on social media via a right-wing influencer. “It's remarkable that the government wouldn't recognize what is so flagrantly a First Amendment violation,” Donovan says. After detailing the complaint, Mary and Andrew move to Todd Blanche's confirmation, before examining a ruling by an Alabama judge rejecting a motion to dismiss the case against the Southern Poverty Law Center on vindictive grounds. Next, they look at the latest in Trump's White House ballroom case after an appeals court upheld the block on its construction last Friday. Plus: a nod to his two new executive orders targeting birthright citizenship.

Today's Headlines: Trump signed an executive order overriding the CDC's vaccine schedule authority, requiring the MMR vaccine to be broken into three separate shots at separate visits — while claiming he broke up his own kids' vaccines into five stops because he's "seen proof" that vaccines cause autism, which he described as a soda bottle poured into a child's body. Trump also admitted there was "some contractor error" with the reflecting pool while continuing to accuse a former Olympian of vandalism even though charges were dropped, and appointed a Project 2025 co-author as inspector general of the department that will review the reflecting pool renovation. On the tech beat, Meta and TikTok lost their attempt to dismiss thousands of lawsuits claiming their platforms are deliberately addictive and harmful to teenagers. Mark Zuckerberg responded to the cultural moment by releasing a 6,500-word AI manifesto arguing everyone's concerns are overblown and America needs to beat China anyway. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders sent a strongly worded letter urging OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta to pause AI development, citing all three companies reporting their own models going rogue in recent weeks and a petition signed by over 1,200 AI employees calling for an international safety framework. In scary weather news, July 2026 was the hottest month ever recorded in the United States going back to 1895, with NOAA forecasting more of the same through August. Finally, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake — the strongest recorded in the 21st century — hit Colombia and Ecuador, killing at least 111 people with many still missing.

Six months into a stage-four pancreatic cancer diagnosis that gave him 90 days to live, Ben Sasse sits down with EconTalk's Russ Roberts for a conversation that refuses easy comfort. The former U.S. senator and University of Florida president is candid about his physical challenges but the heart of this exchange is elsewhere: what actually matters when time is short. Sasse reflects on faith and mortality, the "shattering of idols" like his own workaholism, and his pride in his marriage. Along the way he offers sharp diagnoses of Congress's abdication of responsibility, the crisis inside American universities, and a republic distracted by the "digital casino" in its pocket. Funny, unflinching, and deeply human, it closes with a meditation on raging against the dying of the light while walking with your head bowed.
