Welcome to The Shawn Bolz Show. Today we're looking at two major stories that are shaping the direction of America—both geopolitically and culturally—and why they matter more than most people realize. In our first segment, we examine what's happening in Venezuela and why it reaches far beyond its borders. Energy, corruption, freedom, and America's role on the global stage are colliding in ways that are quietly reshaping the geopolitical landscape. Recent developments have changed the conversation, and many haven't fully processed the implications yet. In our second segment, we turn our attention back home to a significant cultural shift happening among young men in America. We're seeing a historic move toward conservatism—not driven by party loyalty, but by growing frustration with constant ideological messaging in entertainment, education, and everyday life. I'll be reacting to a video from commentator Brett Cooper, who breaks down the data and cultural trends behind this shift—from sports and movies to video games and media. This isn't a fringe reaction. It's a measurable backlash that's already influencing politics, culture, and the future of media. Today's goal isn't outrage—it's discernment. We're asking why these reactions are happening, what they reveal about the state of our culture, and how believers can think wisely, biblically, and clearly about this moment we're living in.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1238: Ford is promising eyes-off driving by 2028. But back in the bays, finding top-tier techs is still a $160K challenge. OpenAI wants to be your new health co-pilot with ChatGPT Health.Show Notes with links: https://www.autonews.com/ford/an-ces-2026-ford-doug-field-panel-0107/“Eyes off the road” is Ford's new promise—and it's coming sooner than you might expect.Ford announced an “eyes-off” driving system launching in 2028, debuting on its new Universal EV Platform.The platform will support up to 8 affordable EVs, including a $30K midsize pickup.AI assistant coming to the Ford and Lincoln app in 2026 and vehicles like Expedition and Navigator in 2027.Ford is vertically integrating hardware and software to reduce driver-assist system costs by 30%.“Too many companies have outsourced the whole soul of their machines…we chose a more difficult task,” said Doug Field, Ford's Chief EV, Digital, and Design Officer.https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/the-160-000-mechanic-job-that-ford-cant-fill-fe6fd121?mod=autos_news_article_pos3Let's talk about the $160K Ford Mechanic Job No One Wants. Ford has 5,000 open service bay jobs, some paying over $120K. But techs say the path to get there is grueling and costly—with few making it to the top.Ted Hummel, a Senior Master Tech in Ohio, made $160K in 2025—but it took over a decade to reach.Entry-level techs often start under $10/hr and must invest tens of thousands in tools and training.The “flat rate” pay system rewards speed, not hours worked—but also means zero pay when work is slow.Physical strain is intense; many leave the profession due to injury before reaching top pay.“A bay with a lift and tools and no one to work in it,” said Ford CEO Jim Farley, calling it a nationwide crisis.https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-health/ChatGPT Enters the Health Chat: OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Health, a new experience designed to help users navigate health information more confidently—by connecting medical records and wellness apps securely to AI.Over 230 million people use ChatGPT weekly for health and wellness questions.The Health experience is separate from general ChatGPT chats, with extra layers of privacy and encryption.Users can link data from apps like Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Function for more personalized advice.Medical info stays isolated within Health and is not used for training models.Built with input from 260+ physicians, it's designed to support, not replace, clinical care.“It helps you understand patterns over time—not just moments of illness,” OpenAI said in the announcement.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

As we step into 2026, Drew and Tim tackle a timely and necessary conversation about generosity—cutting through gimmicks, manipulation, and prosperity hype to get back to the heart of biblical giving. This episode confronts the uncomfortable reality that money can quietly become an idol, even in the church, when it replaces trust in Jesus. From viral pastors promising instant wealth to the cultural craving for quick fixes, the hosts unpack why these messages resonate and why Scripture consistently calls us to something deeper: faithfulness, surrender, and obedience over time.This conversation reframes generosity as a discipleship issue, not a fundraising tactic. Drawing from personal stories, fasting, prayer, and year-end sacrifice, Drew and Tim emphasize that God isn't after our money—He's after our hearts. When revival truly takes hold, generosity doesn't need to be pressured; it flows naturally. This episode invites every listener to ask a simple but challenging question: What would generosity look like if Jesus was truly enough?Check out our brand-new merch store! https://eyesonjesuspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/Get all our links in one easy place! https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcastGet the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotionalhttps://a.co/d/3v8963sJoin our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcastEmail feedback, questions or show topic ideas to eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.comFor more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarkerDrew's church's website https://yes.online/For more information on Tim Ferrara: Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more at https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad

In this episode of The Follow Up, we dive deeper into John chapter 9 and Week 14 of our Gospel of John series, Eyes to See. Jesus heals a man born blind, but the chapter exposes a deeper issue. Those who claim to see often miss what God is doing right in front of them.We explore spiritual blindness, the relationship between suffering and faith, and how obedience can lead to clarity. The discussion highlights the growing faith of the healed man and the resistance of religious leaders who refuse to see Jesus for who he is.This episode invites listeners to reflect on a simple but challenging question. Are we open to seeing the truth, even when it disrupts our assumptions?Subscribe to the podcast and share this episode with someone who wants to see Jesus more clearly.
It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a 4 parter anyways. The 80s were a prime decade for horror. That's what history tells us. Well lets investigate ourselves because, as the old saying goes, history is written by the victors and horror always wins. So, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1983? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Plus some bangin' mates, a few Skeleton Crew gin shots and an 8+ hour running time.

Africa is the world's second largest continent—by land and population! One and a half billion people spread across fifty-five countries. It's huge! Even a trip there, even many trips there, can only scratch the surface. But we're trying! My mum was born in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1950, and I recently returned from my first journey to Africa where I met incredible people and heard remarkable stories. In this third African chapter of 3 Books I sat down with Salim Amin where we discuss what it means to be a great citizen in the world today and how leading with compassion and curiosity can be some of the balm the world needs. As some background Salim's father Mo Amin lived from 1943 to 1996 and at his peak was the single most well-known photographer ... in the world! His photos of the 1984 Ethiopian famine were the basis of the famous Live Aid concert and directly responsible for saving millions of lives. Salim is going to share some of the most memorable stories from his dad's remarkable career and legacy ... all of which happened before he tragically died in a hijacked plane that crashed into the Indian Ocean. Today Salim is the CEO of Camerapix, the legendary (and first-ever!) African media agency, which owns all his dad's photos—of dictators, wildlife, assassinations, and more—and he's become a documentary filmmaker, producer, author, journalist, and TV host in his own right. Salim's documentary "Mo & Me" won over a dozen prestigious awards including the "Grand Jury Prize" at the New York Film Festival and I loved his stunning photo book "Kenya: Through My Father's Eyes". I was thrilled to sit down in-person—in Nairobi!—with Salim, at the Camerapix office, to discuss legacy, identity, fatherhood, purpose, and formative books. There are some absolutely wild stories in this chat you won't soon forget! Let's flip the page into Chapter 156 now...

It was a challenging year to be a Diaspora Jew. The war in Gaza and growing hostility to Israel had an undeniable impact on Jewish life across the world in 2025. Events in Israel became a focus in local and national politics around the world – and served as a catalyst in a global surge in antisemitism. The year was punctuated by horrific and deadly attacks against Jews from Washington D.C. to Manchester to Australia’s Bondi Beach. On this special episode of the Haaretz Podcast, we revisit episodes from the past year featuring the voices of Diaspora Jews, along with Haaretz journalists covering the Jewish world. The conversations include Brooklyn Rabbi Rachel Timoner on the impact of Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy for New York City mayor, Rabbi Delphine Horvilleur on the complexity of advocating for the hostages and a cease-fire agreement. Also on the podcast: American Jewish Committee CEO Ted Deutsch following the terror attack at his organization’s event, and Lynda Ben Menashe, a Jewish leader in Sydney Australia after the Bondi Beach massacre, and many more. Among the featured Haaretz journalists: English edition editor-in-chief Esther Solomon, Washington D.C. correspondent Ben Samuels and Jewish world correspondent Judy Maltz.

Quaranteam - Dave In Dallas: Part 12 Consequences.
Happy New Year and welcome to The Shawn Bolz Show. As we close out 2025, this has been one of the most revealing years in recent history. Truth is coming to the surface, corruption is being exposed, and God is moving quietly yet powerfully in the hearts of people around the world. In today's episode, we explore exposure and transformation across politics, culture, and faith, bringing biblical wisdom and prophetic discernment to current events.
Drew and Tim take a hard and honest look at how success is defined in today's church culture. In a world obsessed with numbers—attendance, giving, buildings, and platforms—this episode challenges listeners to ask whether we've borrowed the wrong scorecard. While metrics can be helpful tools, they were never meant to replace the deeper work of God in transformed lives.This conversation contrasts ministry and business, acknowledging that while both may track growth, only one is called to pursue obedience over outcomes. Drew and Tim emphasize that behind every number is a name, a story, and a soul—and that heaven celebrates faithfulness long before it celebrates growth. Churches can be full and still spiritually empty, active yet unchanged, orthodox but lifeless.At the heart of the episode is a simple but piercing truth: success in ministry is obedience to God's calling. Sometimes obedience leads to growth. Sometimes it leads to obscurity. Either way, Jesus—not results—is the goal. Through personal stories, biblical examples, and real-life ministry moments, this episode invites leaders and believers alike to redefine success, resist comparison, and pursue faithfulness over fame. If you've ever wondered whether what you're doing “counts,” this conversation will realign your heart back to what matters most—keeping your eyes on Jesus.Check out our brand-new merch store! https://eyesonjesuspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/Get all our links in one easy place! https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcastGet the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotionalhttps://a.co/d/3v8963sJoin our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcastEmail feedback, questions or show topic ideas to eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.comFor more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarkerDrew's church's website https://yes.online/For more information on Tim Ferrara: Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more at https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad

We tend to believe contentment is always just around the corner. One change away. One upgrade away. One new season away. But what if that belief is the very thing stealing joy from our lives?John Ortberg reflects on wisdom from C. S. Lewis and The Screwtape Letters, inviting us to rediscover God's gift of rhythm: change and permanence held together. Seasons that repeat. Days that feel familiar. Moments we rush past without seeing the miracle inside them.Contentment, it turns out, isn't about getting a new life. It's about seeing the same life with new eyes. Eyes of gratitude. Eyes of love.What if today, right now, is more than enough?
As the year comes to a close, we're taking a step back …and looking ahead.

Plus, we'll preview key events and opportunities coming in Q1, so you can plan ahead, stay engaged, and start the year with clarity and confidence.Whether you're refining your vision or preparing for an ambitious year ahead, this episode is designed to help you close the year strong and enter 2026 with purpose.Check out Polaris Events HERE: https://polarishealthcarepartners.com/speaking-engagements/
Alors que la reprise des sorties cinéma des adaptations de comics ne reprendra pas encore avant quelques longs mois, on profite du temps qu'il nous reste pour essayer de rattraper pas mal de choses en retard, notamment du côté du petit écran. On ne vous avait par exemple pas fait de podcast pour la sortie des mini-séries d'animation Eyes of Wakanda et Marvel Zombies, que très peu de monde a regardé de toute façon. Mais comme nous sommes généreux, voilà qui sera chose désormais rattrapée.Pour celles et ceux qui voulaient qu'on parle de Marvel Zombies et Eyes of WakandaAlors bon, est-ce que des gens vont vraiment vouloir nous écouter pour parler de séries d'animation très médiocres sorties chez Marvel Studios ? Peut-être : en tout cas, c'est un honneur que vous ferez surtout à notre bon Spleenter qui s'est dévoué une fois de plus pour la cause, dans l'une de ces émissions en duo (puisque Corentin fait partie des gens qui n'ont pas tant de temps à perdre, voyez-vous). Alors laissez-vous embarquer dans un podcast à la cool, qui ne vous convaincra pas de vous lancer dans Eyes of Wakanda ni dans Marvel Zombies, mais vous occupera peut-être quand même un peu de façon distrayante.Si vous appréciez notre travail, ne manquez pas de le faire savoir ! On appréciera les partages, que vous parliez du podcast autour de nous, que vous commentiez sur le site ou notre Discord, ou que vous souteniez notre modeste émission via Tipeee.

In DTWOL… A Fresh Set of Eyes confronts the difference between physical eyesight and spiritual vision. This Godcast reveals that perception is not reality—revelation is solely given by the only true God. Through Scripture you'll see God's workmanship in Lydia. This Godcast will expose how sincere worship and religious devotion can exist without relationship; and why only the only true God must open one's heart.

This recording is a condensed version of the sermon preached at Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mankato, Minnesota on December 28, 2025. You can watch the full recording on our YouTube Channel. Sermon Text: 2 Corinthians 5:1-9 (NKJV) For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. 9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. Theme: Christmas Confidence 1. The Hope of Heaven 2. The Guarantee of the Spirit 3. The Eyes of Faith
In this message, Dale invites us to see Christmas through the eyes of the angels. We are drawn into the wonder of heaven breaking into earth, where messengers of God watch His plan unfold in real time. From their vantage point, Christmas is not quiet or ordinary, it is the announcement of glory, peace, and salvation arriving for all people.Message: Christmas Through the Eyes of AngelsSeries: The Light RevealedSpeaker: Dale McCamish (Senior Minister)Date: 12-28-2025Find out how you can connect or partner with us: wcconline.org/connectFollow us on social media: @wcconlinechurch
In this Christmas Eve message, Dale invites us to see the story of Christmas from God's perspective. Rather than focusing only on the manger and the moment, he walks us through the heart behind it all, a Father sending His Son to rescue and restore what was lost. Christmas becomes not just a scene to admire, but a divine act of love unfolding exactly as God intended.Message: Christmas Through the Eyes of GodSeries: The Light RevealedSpeaker: Dale McCamish (Senior Minister)Date: 12-24-2025Find out how you can connect or partner with us: wcconline.org/connectFollow us on social media: @wcconlinechurch
Eyes on the Lord | A Sunday Devotional2 Chronicles 20:1–22In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat faces a moment where fear closes in and the future feels uncertain. His response is simple and faithful. He seeks the Lord. He trusts who God is. He admits his weakness. He fixes his eyes on the Lord and not on the size of the threat.At the heart of this passage is a prayer that many of us know well: “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.” This is not a prayer of defeat. It is a prayer of faith.As we step into 2026, this devotional reminds us that we need more than good intentions, discipline, or strength. We need Christ. Jesus is the true and better King who fought the battle we could not fight and secured our salvation through the cross. Because of Him, the Spirit of the Lord is with us and goes before us.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Missing Frames is closing out 2025 with a beloved holiday classic: Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT. Wait…what? That's right, we're declaring once and for all that Eyes Wide Shut IS a Christmas movie. Join Shawn Eastridge and returning guest Richie Pepio as they dive into Stanley Kubrick's enigmatic final film and discuss how it offers an intriguing and disturbing glimpse into the realm of marriage and long-term relationships. They also examine how Kubrick used Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's star status to manipulate both their performance and the audience and why the film's initial lackluster response from both audiences and critics was so baffling.HOSTSShawn EastridgeRichie Pepio

In this Teisho, given on November 2nd, 2025, Rinzan Osho examines case 89 of the Hekiganroku, Ummon's "The Whole Body is Hands and Eyes." By giving ourselves over to the three treasures -- Buddha (the fundamental light inside each of us), Dharma (the teaching of the historical Buddhas, our ancestors and our every day life), and Sangha (our deep communion with all things) -- we devlop a natural responsiveness to the call of the suffering world, and provide it a giving and helping hand.

NB: Man, I so wanted to call this episode All Hail the Nuptial Fuck Chamber but out of respect for Elijah and his family, I gave it a nice title instead. Also, Chris followed up with an additional note: “Looking at (rather than just vaguely recalling) the bit from Catullus 62, the poem is amoebaean (the girls sing in answer to the boys). It opens with the boys claiming that the evening star, Venus, is shining over Olympus, understood as simply meaning that it's in the sky—that is, it is night, time for marriage (and consummation). The girls echo this claim, but they swap out Mount Oeta for Olympus, Oeta being close to Olympus and interchangeable with it. When Housman says that ‘the star from Oeta's steep / calls to bed but not to sleep,' I think he's just echoing this evocative, poeticizing way of saying ‘the ceremony's done, now it's time for fun.' Of course, if it is about MJ [Moses Jackson], the real emotion of the poem is in the speaker's self-abnegation, his giving the groom to the girl who loves him less than he does, his blessing on and defense of (hand on sword) the conjugal jollifications, and his own exclusion from bliss. But I wouldn't take any of the geography too literally! the main point is just that it's night time, and night time is the right time.” SLEERICKETS is a podcast about poetry and other intractable problems.

Welcome to The Shawn Bolz Show, where we explore culture, politics, and entertainment through a prophetic and Biblical lens. We don't just react to headlines — we slow down and ask deeper questions. What's opinion? What's truth? And what is spiritually energized beneath the surface? We're living in a moment where political wars, cultural wars, and spiritual wars are colliding. When everything overlaps like this, it's not enough to simply pick a side. Scripture calls us to discernment — to judge fruit, test the spirits, and walk in both truth and love. In today's episode, we step into some of the most complex and emotional conversations happening right now. We'll talk about conflict inside the conservative movement, accusations and conspiracies, grief, and the way spiritual language is being used publicly — sometimes wisely, sometimes recklessly. But this isn't just a heavy conversation. We'll also look at something hope-filled: a surprising moment in mainstream entertainment where faith and the story of Jesus are being spoken about openly during the Christmas season. Even in tension and chaos, God is still breaking through. Let's talk about what's really happening — and how to respond with wisdom, courage, and hope.

It requires a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee plus a “contribution” or “gift” of at least $1 million per individual (or $2 million via an employer sponsor), with additional amounts for dependents. The funds go to entities like the U.S. Department of Commerce, and applicants must prove a lawful source of money, similar to the EB-5 investor visa. The process involves filing a new Form I-140G, followed by consular processing abroad—no in-country adjustment of status is allowed—and approvals can happen in weeks, though backlogs from per-country caps (especially for Indian or Chinese nationals) may still cause delays for the actual green card. This program is separate from the H-1B visa system, which remains a temporary work visa for skilled professionals with issues like annual caps (85,000 visas, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders), a random lottery selection process, and criticisms of abuse (e.g., companies using it to displace U.S. workers or suppress wages via outsourcing firms). In fact, alongside the Gold Card, the Trump administration introduced a separate $100,000 one-time entry fee for H-1B applicants to deter such abuses and ensure only “the best and brightest” use it. https://twitter.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/1998791717752062345?s=20 Autopen. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1998407015756964343?s=20 to decide if it gets a floor vote. I hope they do the right thing. The Affordability Crisis Is Not a ‘Hoax.' It Is an Existential Threat to the American Dream. Recently, President Trump has been quoted as referring to the affordability crisis as a “Democrat scam,” “hoax,” and “con job.” Although I think Trump was likely trying to remind Americans that policies enacted when Democrats had total control of the federal government under the first two years of the Biden administration accelerated and exacerbated the affordability problem, it is dangerous for the president to use that type of language. Already, mainstream media reprobates are twisting Trump's words, leading people to believe that he is saying the affordability crisis does not exist. In proper context, Trump is not denying that middle- and lower-class Americans are struggling to make ends meet; rather, he is trying to assign blame and hang the affordability crisis on the Democrats. But even doing that is politically unwise. The American people are not nearly as concerned with pointing fault as they are with seeking immediately viable solutions to the untenable reality they face.

Countries on the list include much of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Qatar, Israel, Chile and Brunei. Citizens or nationals of these countries have been allowed to freely travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. If the proposal is adopted, they’ll have to share their online footprint – something that immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applicants from different categories have been required to provide since 2019. The list also includes; Telephone numbers used in the last five years Email addresses used in the last 10 years IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos Biometrics – including facial, fingerprint, DNA and Iris data Information about one’s family – including names, telephone numbers, dates of birth, places of birth and residences. The CBP proposal is open for a 60-day public comment period. ESTA – an automated system, costs $40 and is generally valid for two years. An ESTA holder can enter multiple times during that period.

The Code Conduct is a document agreed upon by social media companies for removing hate. The improved upon “Code of Conduct Plus” continues to be an important tool under the DSA: “On 20 January 2025, the revised Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online + (the ‘Code of conduct+') was integrated into the regulatory framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA), following a positive assessment from the Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. The Code of conduct+, which builds on the Code of Conduct adopted in 2016, strengthens the way online platforms deal with content deemed illegal hate speech according to EU law and Member States' laws. It facilitates compliance with and the effective enforcement of the DSA in this specific area.” This new Conduct Code+ was established as a “DSA Code of conduct”. This empowered civil society organisations to act as watchdogs. “Following its integration, adherence to the Code of conduct+ may be considered as an appropriate risk mitigation measure for signatories designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the DSA.” “The DSA classifies platforms or search engines that have more than 45 million users per month in the EU as very large online platforms (VLOPs)” https://twitter.com/emd_worldwide/status/1998556257251152246?s=20 letter confirms the details of that action.

Although, it’s been noted that such sanctions would be highly unusual, since the U.S. is both a U.N. member and the host nation of the body that created the agency in 1949. Despite this, Trump previously reaffirmed that the U.S. would not fund UNRWA earlier this year. In October, Secretary of State Marco Rubio also referred to UNRWA as a subsidiary of Hamas: “UNRWA’s not going to play any role in it… The United Nations is here, we're seeing the work they're doing… They’re on the ground. We’re willing to work with them if they can make it work, but not UNRWA.

During her appearance on Wednesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Kirk was asked about the accusations and claims floated by podcasters like Candace Owens and others surrounding the assassination of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, including speculation about where Charlie is buried. No rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there. “My silence does not mean that I’m complacent,” Erika continued. “My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband and that my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building.” Erika said she understands a lot of the noise is people trying to find answers to the horrific killing of her husband, and made it clear no “rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there.” Kirk said she does have a breaking point, though, and it’s when influencers and others go after those she loves, like her family, her Turning Point USA family, and her Charlie Kirk Show family. “When you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this… NO!” Erika said, as the host Harris Faulkner pointed out, she’d never seen Kirk like this before. “This is righteous anger because this is not okay, it’s not healthy,” she added. “This is a mind virus… but this is not okay. But just know your words are very powerful, and we are human.” “My team are not machines and they’re not robots, they are human,” Erika continued. “We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have…you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again?” .

In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing Redistricting for years, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, Indiana Senate “Leader” Rod Bray enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats, in Indiana's case, two of them. He is putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with him. By doing so, he is putting the Majority in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., at risk and, at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this Redistricting, likewise, at risk. The people of Indiana don't want the Party of Sleepy Joe Biden, Kamala, Ilhan Omar, or the rest to succeed in Washington. Bray doesn't care. He's either a bad guy, or a very stupid one! In any event, he and a couple of his friends will partner with the Radical Left Democrats. They found some Republican “SUCKERS,” and they couldn't be happier that they did! Guys like Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels, who I opposed in his Race against Senator Jim Banks, and Cam Savage, whoever that is, are fighting against the Republican Party, all the way. Bray and his friends are the favorite Republicans of Hakeem Jeffries, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Cryin' Chuck Schumer. Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. Rod Bray and his friends won't be in Politics for long, and I will do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again. One of my favorite States, Indiana, will be the only State in the Union to turn the Republican Party down! Master Messenger: Trump Goes Full MAGA at Pennsylvania Rally, Hands GOP the 2026 Talking Points The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA. The message was clear: Republicans, take this message and run with it during the 2026 midterm election cycle. President Trump tore apart Obamacare. He is tired of insurance companies lining their pockets with Obamacare subsidies, and stated once again that he wants that money sent directly to the American people. Imagine being able to use your own money to purchase health insurance instead of those dollars going straight to the insurance companies? For Republicans in 2026, this is a smart policy that could excite the base in an election cycle where President Trump is not on the ballot. Healthcare across America, in many cases, is unaffordable and frustrating. This is certainly an area where the GOP can make up ground with sound policy ideas. President Trump has essentially closed our southern border by the sheer power he wields through the executive branch. The administration has now moved to tackle illegal immigration within our borders, in regards to both deportations and American jobs taken by illegal aliens. Since President Trump took office, 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. That is an amazing statistic that every GOP House and Senate member should be touting on the campaign trail. Not for nothing, but President Trump is also clearly tired of immigrants coming to America who do not care to fully assimilate or share our values. President Trump also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration, “including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” This is a very smart and, frankly, important policy. During the recent off-year election cycle, many Americans learned for the first time how many third-world immigrants have infiltrated major American cities. This is a winning message and one the GOP should carry into 2026. Finally, the deadly drugs have got to stop flowing into this country. President Trump has taken lethal action that is sure to have every drug boat planning to bring drugs to America second-guessing that decision. For some Republicans who support Trump’s policy but have struggled to properly communicate the importance to their constituents, the president simplified the issue for the entire party.
