On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the Joe Kent narrative was tracked in real time by AI following his Tucker Carlson interview, revealing that the exact clip and caption featuring the quote about Israelis driving the Iran decision flooded hundreds of accounts simultaneously within minutes. This amplification involved Russian state TV (RT), Iranian state media through HispanTV, Hamas-aligned Quds News Network, Turkish state broadcaster TRT, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Max Blumenthal. Like the Marxists, the Fascists have a sophisticated and massive propaganda operation. Kent's military record does not shield him from accountability for alleged wrongdoing. He is under FBI investigation for leaking information, a serious matter that should not be dismissed simply by criticizing the FBI's past failures. Also, the House Oversight Committee is investigating nonprofit organization Creator Collective for potential violations of campaign finance disclosure rules through its Chorus program. This initiative pays Democratic-aligned political influencers up to $8,000 per month to promote party talking points on social media. The committee describes the activities as a "disturbing pattern" aimed at evading transparency requirements. Later, the Democrats have repeatedly blocked funding legislation for key federal agencies including the TSA, Coast Guard, Secret Service, and FEMA, resulting in a government shutdown that has left these workers unpaid and unable to cover mortgages or medical bills. Democrats refuse to support them; they prioritize benefits and amnesty for illegal immigrants over American citizens and essential security personnel, deliberately creating chaos at airports and elsewhere to gain political power. Afterward, the Save America Act is a straightforward measure to ensure honest elections by restricting voting to Americans only. No, it doesn't discriminates against Black people or married women - it prevents illegal voting practices such as non-citizens voting, double voting, voting in wrong locations, or voting using deceased people's names.

Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo/D-NM), left, Sharice Davids (Ho-Chunk/D-KS), and Markwayne Mullin (Cherokee/R-OK), testify before a subcommittee on March 4, 2020 as members of the Native American Caucus. (Courtesy Rep. Markwayne Mullin) The nomination of U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (Cherokee/R-OK) to be the next Homeland Security secretary cleared a key committee vote after overcoming a cringeworthy confirmation hearing over his combative past comments. Correspondent Matt Laslo reports on the bipartisan relationships the enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation has built over his decade in Washington. Contrary to the tough guy you may have seen on your screen picking fights with union bosses or Senate committee chairs, Sen. Mullin has lots of fans in Congress. U.S. Sen.Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) serves with Mullin on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. “I may have some policy disagreements with Sen. Mullin. Mark's Mark. That's who he is, you know? So yeah, I don’t know that there’s anything out of sorts there. It’s just, that’s just who he is.” Luján says Mullin has been a key ally on the other side of the aisle in today's divided Washington. “Not just, you know, Democrat, Republican. He’s been a member that tribal leaders have sought out to support different efforts.” Mullin stepped into a 137-year long fight last year and played a pivotal role in helping North Carolina's Lumbee Tribe gain full federal recognition over protests from other tribes. U.S. Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) told National Native News that Mullin was pivotal. “He thought that the opposition by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina was incorrect. And so as an enrolled Cherokee, he supported the Lumbees and it’s always appreciated.” U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids (Ho-Chunk/D-KS) overlapped with Mullin in the U.S. House for her first two terms. Besides the two both being former MMA fighters, Rep. Davids says she and Mullin put partisan differences aside and worked together for Indian Country. “When he was in the House, we worked on quite a few tribal related things, including trying to stabilize Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). And then, also on foster programs and that kind of stuff. So we’ve been able to work together on issues that we both care about.” Masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents may garner the national headlines, but Davids says she is watching to see how Mullin handles the other parts of the sweeping Homeland Security agency that outgoing Secretary Kristi Noem neglected. “I’m hopeful that he will be much better in terms of leading the department. Of course there’s hot button issues, but when you think about FEMA and the importance of FEMA functioning, of our TSA folks …” The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) is offering a career pathway for tribal students looking at wildland firefighting jobs. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. Highschoolers across six BIE-run schools are participating, including Northwest High School in Shiprock on the Navajo Nation. “This just happened to occur organically.” Carmelia Becenti (Diné) is BIE chief academic officer. She credits President Trump's executive order on “expanding educational freedom”. They are also pitching the curriculum to colleges. “We are trying to somewhat steer them towards being stewards of our lands. That doesn't always happen.” Garth Fisher is with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Division of Wildland Fire Management. He says they are teaching coursework about leadership, fire suppression, and FEMA readiness. Once done, students put their training to the test during a field day. “They get to put the gear on, how it feels. They get to look like a firefighter.” That equipment is expensive, says Becenti, which is why the BIE is buying it now. “And that way, year after year, as we recruit more students at these schools and across the bureau, you know, we have this PPE that we can use over and over and over.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Your Nebraska Update headlines for today, March 16, include: Morrill Fire has now burned at least 570,000 acres across four western Nebraska counties and federal incident management team is taking command as state leaders seek FEMA assistance, family and friends remember 86-year-old woman killed in wildfire, fire departments statewide send personnel and equipment west, blizzard conditions cause multi-car crash that shuts down part of Interstate 80, Nebraska property owners caught in crosshairs of Perkins County Canal, Nebraska men and women both earn spots in the NCAA basketball tournament.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, it's important that the peace mission against Iran continue until fully completed, without artificial timelines or pressure from weak voices. Currently two weeks in, the operation has devastated Iran's senior leadership, navy, air force, ground-to-air missiles, drone capabilities and ballistic missiles. Prematurely halting would abandon the Iranian people, preserve the ideological Islamist Nazi infrastructure, and signal weakness to adversaries like China and Russia. Without this current action, Iran would eventually acquire nuclear weapons and ICBMs capable of reaching the U.S. It's shocking how easily both the neo-fascist woke Reich and the Marxist left dismiss these nuclear risks. Also, Tucker Carlson lied about a conversation he had with Mark Levin. About 90% of his account was fabricated psychobabble. There's no reasoning with someone like this who's a useful idiot exploited by the left. Later, Democrats have defunded key agencies like the Secret Service, TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA during a shutdown. Democrats are deliberately inconveniencing TSA workers and travelers to pressure Republicans into destroying ICE and halting deportations, while protecting massive socialist programs, foreign aid, and unrestricted benefits instead. The Democrat Party as at war with American citizens, they abuse essential services and prioritizing political goals over public safety and fairness. Finally, Sen Lindsey Graham calls in and explains that the Iranian regime is a fanatical theocracy driven to dominate Islam, destroy Israel, and target infidels like America. They were nearing nuclear weapon capability with enough enriched uranium for 10 bombs and just weeks from weapons-grade material. Trump saved the world from Iranian nuclear blackmail, chaos, and destruction of Israel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1. Claim of Increased Terrorist Threat four terrorist attacks have occurred within ten days in the U.S. All attacks are described as being carried out by radical Islamic terrorists targeting Americans. The country may be on the verge of a large-scale mass-casualty attack. 2. Blame on Open Border Policies The Biden administration is accused of maintaining a “wide open border”. Claims are made that millions of illegal immigrants, including terrorists, entered the U.S. Statistics are cited showing an increase in encounters with individuals on the terrorist watch list after 2021. “Gotaways” (unapprehended border crossers) are described as a major unknown security risk. 3. DHS Funding Controversy Senate Democrats are accused of repeatedly voting against funding DHS. The speakers argue this effectively: Leaves TSA agents, Coast Guard members, FEMA workers, and DHS analysts unpaid Weakens terrorism prevention capabilities ICE is noted as already funded, undermining the Democrats’ stated rationale. 4. Criticism of Democratic Leadership Democrats are described as being “serene” about DHS shutdown risks. Senator Brian Schatz is singled out as emblematic of this attitude. The argument suggests Democrats prioritize ideology and opposition to Trump over public safety. 5. Specific Terror Attack Examples Austin, TX: A shooter described as a radical Islamist opening fire at a bar. New York City: Two teens allegedly inspired by ISIS throwing homemade bombs. Michigan: A vehicle attack at a synagogue/school stopped by armed security. Old Dominion University: A former ISIS supporter, released early from prison, opening fire and being stopped by a student. 6. Media Criticism Mainstream outlets, especially CNN, are accused of: Downplaying or mischaracterizing terrorist motives Avoiding the term “radical Islamic terrorism” Failing to hold Democrats accountable Examples of allegedly misleading headlines and retractions are cited. 7. Distinction Between Islam and Islamism Senator Cruz emphasizes a distinction between: Peaceful Muslims Islamism, defined as a violent political ideology He argues refusing to name the ideology prevents effective counterterrorism.

In this episode of the Crisis Lab Podcast, host Kyle King opens with a scenario every emergency manager recognizes: an evacuation order goes out, every protocol is followed, every system is activated, and people don't move.What it reveals: trust is invisible infrastructure, and it fails the same way physical systems do.From Winter Storm URI in Texas to the Lahaina wildfire in Hawaii to Berlin's longest blackout since 1945, the pattern repeats. Policy trades resilience for efficiency, warnings go unheeded, systems fail, and public confidence collapses at every level of government. The gap between what institutions promise and what communities receive has become a structural vulnerability.This episode isn't a call for better messaging. It's a call to treat trust like what it is: critical infrastructure that requires assessment, maintenance, and investment.

From FBI secret files and political surveillance to Iran's nuclear threat, DHS shutdowns, and the surprising effects of digital media on youth identity—today's America is facing multiple crises at once. We break down what's happening, why it matters, and what you need to know. SUMMARY 1. FBI “Prohibited Access” Files & Political Surveillance Whistleblowers revealed the FBI has been keeping secret files on hundreds of Trump associates, journalists, and political figures with no evidence of crime. Kash Patel discovered a 25-year-old “prohibited access” system hiding these records from oversight, even showing false negatives to congressional inquiries. Targets included Susie Wiles (Trump's chief of staff), Charlie Kirk's organization, campaign advisors, lawyers, and more. Over 1,200 people were surveilled under “special circumstances” between 2018–2024. Legal analysts warn this represents a severe breach of constitutional rights, likened to a domestic secret police system. 2. Iran & Middle East Conflict Iran is reportedly activating sleeper cells abroad, including in the U.S., prompting law enforcement alerts. President Trump confirmed monitoring of these cells is ongoing, but Democrat-led DHS shutdowns are impeding action. U.S. military maintains near-total air superiority over Iran, relying on precision strikes rather than ground troop deployments. Operation “Midnight Hammer” targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, preventing potential nuclear strikes on Israel and U.S. forces. Iran's nuclear ambitions and missile programs were advancing rapidly, requiring decisive action to prevent catastrophic consequences. 3. DHS Shutdown & Domestic Security House Republicans repeatedly passed DHS funding; Democrats blocked it over ICE policy disputes. The shutdown affects TSA, Coast Guard, Secret Service, FEMA, and CISA, creating risks at airports and other critical infrastructure. Criminals, including sex offenders, are slipping through due to bureaucratic gridlock, illustrating the real-life consequences of political impasse. 4. Cultural & Digital Identity Shifts Research shows a dramatic rise in LGBTQ+ identification among Americans aged 18–24, peaking under Joe Biden at ~20%. “Report on Digital Sexuality” links frequent porn consumption to higher rates of bisexual identification: A few times per week: ~19.7% bi Daily: ~23% bi Several times daily: ~27.4% bi Early exposure to porn (average age 11) and social media platforms like X contribute to identity formation, potentially via social contagion effects. These trends raise questions about youth development, brain pathways, and the long-term cultural impact of digital media. 5. Implications Across Society America faces simultaneous crises: foreign threats (Iran), domestic security gaps (DHS shutdown), and cultural shifts (digital media effects). Political gridlock exacerbates vulnerabilities, risking national security and public safety. Military technology and precision operations demonstrate that modern warfare can be conducted effectively with minimal casualties—but timing and strategy are critical. Cultural trends among youth highlight the powerful influence of technology and media on identity, underscoring a need for awareness and dialogue. This episode ties together national security threats, constitutional concerns, military strategy, and societal change—showing how America navigates unprecedented challenges both abroad and at home. SOCIAL MEDIA POST Title: Secret Police, Iran Threats & Youth Digital Identity Crisis Description: FBI files, Iran sleeper cells, DHS shutdowns, and the surprising ways porn and social media are reshaping youth identity—America faces threats on every front. Message: From secret FBI surveillance to Iran's nuclear ambitions, DHS shutdowns, and a digital media-driven identity shift among young Americans, the stakes have never been higher. National security, political gridlock, and cultural upheaval collide in today's Americ ...

What to listen for:Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, break down why "opting out" has become a buzzword that may obscure more than it reveals. While the term sounds empowering (giving dogs agency and choice), they argue it can become a self-congratulatory label that prevents handlers from addressing underlying training gaps.Stacy shares the story of 15-year-old Ray, who "opted out" of FEMA disaster work but later excelled at narcotics detection on a short lead. Ray didn't dislike detection work. Rather, she disliked working independently, far from her handler. Had Stacy recognized this earlier, she could have placed Ray in close-proximity disciplines like historic human remains detection instead of washing her out entirely.Robin recounts how one of her own dogs initially refused to search even three boxes in his front yard due to environmental overwhelm. But rather than accepting "he's opting out," she methodically built confidence through smaller areas, easier hides, and massive reinforcement. She eventually produced an elite champion! The key was asking why and adjusting the training plan, not accepting a vague opt-out label.They warn against the variable-reinforcement trap, in which dogs train handlers by occasionally succeeding, keeping handlers stuck in ineffective patterns. Stacy describes Dash's trained "collar-itch" behavior: a displacement signal she accidentally reinforced by making hides easier each time he scratched.Robin and Stacy do believe that legitimate opt-outs exist. Pain, slick floors, and overwhelming environments are just some of them. But these require specific diagnosis, not broad constructs.They advocate observable behavior analysis over anthropomorphic interpretations. This means that handlers need to teach opt-in through thoughtful progression rather than celebrating opt-out as a virtue.Key Topics:Defining Opt-Out vs. Observable Behavior (00:49)Ray's Independence Issue in FEMA vs. Narcotics Work (04:18)Environmental Confidence Building to Elite Level (07:35)Dash's Trained Collar-Itch Displacement Behavior (11:30)Variable Reinforcement and "Maybe Dogs" (15:29)Constructs vs. Specific Behavior Questions (18:40)Legitimate Opt-Outs: Pain, Slick Floors, Environmental Pressure (27:44)Teaching Opt-In from Day One with Puppies (34:31)Clever Hans Effect and Handler Cues (38:54) Resources:Dogs distinguish human intentional and unintentional action (study) We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

1. U.S. Military Success Against Iran (“Operation Epic Fury”) The U.S. has massively reduced Iran’s missile and drone launch capacity over eight days. U.S. forces allegedly destroyed air defenses, missile sites (including mobile launchers), drone infrastructure, and naval capabilities. They argue the U.S. now holds air and naval superiority, enabling cheaper munitions and sustained operations. 2. Global Oil Strategy and Potential Seizure of Kharg Island Discussion of Iran’s dependency on Kharg Island as its primary oil export hub (≈90%). Suggestion that the U.S. may be positioning itself to seize or control this strategic point. This would cripple Iran financially, control the Strait of Hormuz, and create major leverage over China’s energy supply. 3. Domestic Terror Concerns Several incidents referenced (NYC explosive scare, Austin attack, embassy explosion in Norway). Such threats are not caused by the Iran conflict but by long-standing extremist ideology. Strong accusations that open border policies increased vulnerability to terrorism. 4. DHS Funding Fight in Congress Democrats are accused of keeping parts of DHS unfunded (Coast Guard, TSA, FEMA) while ICE remains funded due to earlier legislation. The speakers assert this creates risk to national security during a heightened terror threat environment. Claim: Democrats are doing this to appeal to their base who oppose ICE and strict immigration enforcement. 5. Global Reactions and Rising Islamist Activity Some Islamist groups allegedly responding violently worldwide due to Iran’s conflict and loss of funding. Concern raised that DHS funding issues undermine the U.S.’s ability to defend against these threats. 6. Criticism of Democrat Positions on Iran Senator Chris Murphy is specifically criticized for defending the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal. The deal never provided real inspection rights and would have allowed Iran to eventually obtain nuclear weapons. Trump pulling out of the deal and attacking Iranian facilities set Iran’s program back significantly. 7. Tucker Carlson Controversy “Unconditional surrender” leads to U.S. soldiers committing atrocities. The U.S. might require nuclear weapons to force Iranian surrender. These statements are anti-American, extremist, and helpful to Islamist propaganda. Claims that Iranian state media and the Muslim Brotherhood promote Carlson’s segments. 8. New Iranian Leadership Iran allegedly names the son of the previous Ayatollah as its new leader. Speakers argue any continuation of clerical rule is unacceptable for U.S. security. They describe Iran’s leadership as religious extremists who cannot be deterred like other states. 9. Airport Security Incidents and Public Anxiety Several recent flight diversions and security scares are mentioned. Reduced DHS staffing (due to the funding dispute) worsens risks and delays.

It seems like the frequency of weather-related disasters is increasing. Across the US we're seeing wildfires, tropical storms and hurricanes, extreme heat, extreme cold with snow or ice. And torrential rain leading to a loss of property, life, and livelihoods. What's more, similar extreme events are happening across the globe. These disasters all can have an impact on our food supply and the ability of people to access food. Today, we're speaking with environmental sustainability management expert, Betsy Albright, who is an associate professor of the practice at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. Betsy's research centers on how policies and decisions are made in response to weather related disasters. Interview Summary Betsy, I've been wanting to have you on the podcast for a while, so I'm excited to get you now. So, let's begin with the first broad question. I'd be really interested to learn a little bit more about your research to make sure that our listeners are up to date on it. And I know you really study disasters, but could you explain or expand on what that really means for our listeners? I'm an environmental social scientist who studies the human and social side of disasters. And I ask questions about how climate related disasters or climate driven disasters, or weather disasters affect communities and households. And how individuals perceive risks from disasters, how they're affected by disasters, how they learn from make changes and adapt after disasters. My work started with my dissertation in central Europe. I had a Fulbright in Hungary. But from then I've expanded and moved most of my work to the US context. And our research team and I have done work on flooding and wildfires in Colorado, hurricanes in North Carolina. And I'm also working on a study of the flows of disaster assistance funds from FEMA to communities. And all of this is with or through a lens of equity or inequities and thinking about that across the disaster cycle. This is really important, and I remember being at a conference with you and learning about your work. And I was struck by what happens after the disaster. And in particular what happens to availability of food. And I work with the food bank here in North Carolina. And one of the things I know is when there is a disaster, like when Helene hit Asheville, there are real challenges in getting food out to people. Does your work touch on those topics as well? Yes. I would not say that our work centers on food, but food definitely intersects across all phases of the disaster cycle from preparing for disaster, experiencing disaster, the immediate response- that food bank getting food out- to long term recovery and thinking about risk mitigation. And we can think about that, you know, through a number of different lenses. Both on the food access side, but also on the food systems agriculture side as well. As I mentioned earlier, I take an equity lens on much of the work that we do. It's really important to recognize that disasters hit unevenly across society, across the landscape. Disproportionately they magnify social and environmental stressors that are already there. Communities with limited access to wealth, limited access to food, who are underserved, rural communities, racialized communities, often experience greater impacts from disasters. Disasters occur on top of histories of disenfranchisement. For example, centuries of marginalization of the minoritized Romani peoples of Central Europe they've seen great impacts from flooding. And in North Carolina, Black and African American communities whose ancestors were enslaved and suffered land loss through racist systems of who gets access to loans, access to land ownership. And because of these systems and processes, communities, families, individuals may live on marginal lands, may not own their lands. Their lands may be more prone to flood risk. May be underserved. Their housing may be more at risk. They may rent and not own. May have less agency and resources to repair their homes. And may have less trust in government and government systems. So really thinking about all of that, and then piling on disasters over these centuries of marginalization, disenfranchisement, underinvestment is really critical when trying to disentangle all these processes and develop policy solutions. This is really fascinating work and so thank you for laying out the sort of reality of the experience of disasters where people who have been marginalized may have difficulty accessing resources or there may be some concerns about trust. Broadly, we're interested also in the food system, and I'd be interested to understand how, when disasters strike, do you see effects upon the food system or the food system responding to these disasters? Recognizing that some individuals have higher food stress, even without a disaster, they may have higher pollutant burden because they live next to a concentrated animal feed lot operation. They may have weaker infrastructure systems: electricity, transportation, because of disinvestment. And so, when a disaster strikes, pollution loads may increase, access to food becomes even more of a challenge. Food stress increases. For example, in North Carolina, across the Southeast and further in the United States, Latino migrant farm workers face higher risks during hurricanes and floodings because of barriers, like limited access to emergency information and Spanish language barriers, fears about government intervention, fears tied to immigration status, housing conditions, lack of transportation. And these factors can delay access to food, evacuation, reduce preparedness, slow recovery. And yes, it's a challenge to really think then hard about what policy solutions make sense. That does make me also appreciate when we think about some of the folks involved in the food system, that the disruption that a disaster can bring will also mean a loss of employment or opportunities to continue earning income. And that seems to be a sort of a knock-on effect of these disasters. It's not just the immediate weather event. It's all of the other things that follow afterwards. Yes. And so when thinking about policy solutions, I really think it's critical to address these inequities even outside of the disaster cycle, or outside of the framing of disasters. And can we think about and develop ways, for example, to do reduce the risks of concentrated animal feedlot operations in North Carolina. Other ways for more resilient and sustainable and local ways of farming that minimize environmental risks, increase wealth, increase jobs, access to jobs. That then, when disaster strikes, are going to be more resilient because they're more resilient even before disasters. You know, I'd like to see greater investment in areas of food access, strengthening support for farm workers, encouraging development of local food hubs. Also thinking about making food access hubs more resilient to extreme weather events. Maybe elevating them, getting them all generators or solar microgrids. So that when disaster does happen, they're more resilient and then they can serve as community hubs with less reliance on supply chains at the national level. Really, coming back local, mutual aid, supporting each other, community supporting communities, non-governmental organizations, government, faith-based organizations strengthening local food systems. Also, everything that I just said for food I also think for health. You know, access to healthcare goes along with access to food in terms of critical infrastructure for community to flourish. And so, making sure there are local hospitals, not just in time of disaster, but in time of not disaster. So, expedite funding for small businesses, for neighborhood organizations, neighbors getting to know neighbors in disasters. Neighbors relying on neighbors. And that's critical. Anything we can do to build up networks. And that doesn't necessarily have to be government intervention. That could be faith-based organizations, churches, working with communities. It could be Little Leagues. There's lots of different ways to help build that social infrastructure that's so critical during disasters. Betsy, thank you for that. And as I hear you talk about these issues, what I am grateful for is we normally talk about food and the food system, but it's a parallel reality of what happens with the healthcare system when the disaster strikes. I can only imagine if someone is in need of a certain medicine when the disaster hits access to that medicine may be called into question as happens with food. But one of the big things I get out of what you're saying is we need to build resilient communities. Not when the disaster happens but do that work now. How do we create mutual aid? How do we create actual neighborhoods that know what's going on and to care for one another. Because it's that THAT helps us through these difficult times. Is that a fair assessment? Yes. That's more well said than I said it. So yes. Thank you. I am so grateful for this. Betsy, is there anything else we should think about when it comes to disasters and the food system or how we should prepare for disasters in the future? One thing that I didn't emphasize that my early work really looked at is how we grow food. And in Central Europe and Hungary in the area that I studied, this large-scale infrastructure on land that had previously, centuries ago, been wetlands. And then was drained for large scale agricultural systems, not unlike what we see in much of the Midwest of the United States. But as climate change worsens, we're seeing more extreme rain events. It's becoming harder and harder to basically fight against these floods in our agricultural system. And so really rethinking. What a resilient kind of agroecological system could look like on the food growing side. And that could be issues of what is grown, that could be issues of scale, thinking about maybe we need to put more land aside and not farm. But really thinking hard about how we incentivize, how do we set up insurance to help mitigate some of the risks. But I think that's going to be one of the major challenges moving forward.

Conversation with directors Hai-Lam Phan, Olivia Mowry, and writer/producer Margaret Cooney from the award-winning documentary film "Asheville is Calling: A Climate Change Emergency" Extreme weather disasters are becoming more common, more powerful, and more deadly. Today, more than ever, U.S. federal agencies like FEMA that help Americans prepare, respond, and recover from natural disasters need to be fully funded, staffed, and ready to act. Hurricane Helene survivor, Colleen Daly, talks about her harrowing experience both during and after this catastrophic event, and how changes enacted by the current U.S. administration are leaving communities to fend for themselves against extreme weather disasters. Communities deserve better than a government that abandons them when disaster strikes, and refuses acknowledge that climate change is harming people here and now. —— Subscribe to the podcast: Tweets by wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

   One day after Donald Trump declared he's putting VP JD Vance in charge of America's "war on fraud" we need a scorecard to keep track of all the federal raids, busts, arraignments and investigations made public in some of our biggest cities.  KC's Mayor Pro Tem is in really hot water over an FBI investigation that's been going on for a full year without her knowing it.  LA, San Fran, Boston, Miami and the mother of all fraud... Minneapolis.. all had big news yesterday.    That takedown on the street by ICE of a 19 year old American in Olathe has a new narrative.  Turns out the young man was road raging ICE agents and is lucky.... no, very lucky... they are not charging him with a crime.   Never, ever believe the one sided first stories regarding ICE enforcing our laws.      World Cup host cities are crying poor and FIFA is threatening to pull out of fan fests and other events around the soccer games if they don't get millions and millions now.... from FEMA!    There is stunning financial data for the Atlanta Braves' Ballpark Village and it's easy to see why the Royals want to try to do this for themselves.    They are only the latest but the fan boy media around K-State Athletics are really embarrassing themselves by piling on the basketball team and coaches right now after four years of publicly drinking the Kool Aid on the biggest hiring disaster in school history.  Don't trust fan boy media anywhere!   And the lawsuit by 1587 Sneakers against 1587 restaurant is not exactly what you think.... we'll fill you in.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Justin M. Lee. Purpose of the Interview To showcase Dr. Lee’s journey from a young real estate agent to a multi-industry entrepreneur. To inspire listeners with strategies for wealth-building through real estate, construction, and logistics. To encourage financial literacy, ownership, and collaboration within underserved communities. To issue a call to action for minorities to explore opportunities like Amazon DSP and real estate investment. Key Takeaways Early Career & Education Started young in real estate, embraced discomfort in rooms dominated by older professionals. Leveraged millennial tech skills (social media marketing) to help veteran brokers grow. Earned a doctorate degree and became a licensed real estate broker. Social Media as a Business Tool Built a strong presence on TikTok (90K followers) and other platforms. Helped older real estate firms thrive by creating digital visibility. Emphasized that “business must look as good online as in person.” Financial Literacy & Homeownership African-American communities often lack foundational financial knowledge. Key barriers: misunderstanding credit, fear of debt, and lack of exposure to ownership benefits. Advocates teaching the difference between good debt (real estate) and bad debt (consumer credit). Real Estate Process Initial onboarding: credit score, income, tax filing. Connect clients with lenders, secure pre-approval, then negotiate and close within 30–45 days.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, AOC, Gavin Newsom and Hillary Clinton trash our country overseas because they hate our country. While our brave and patriotic military personnel stationed overseas are protecting the free world, they give aid and comfort to our enemies. And none of them have done anything for the betterment of our country. Later, a massive raw sewage spill is occurring in the Potomac River due to a break in a six-foot pipe on the Maryland side, dumping millions to hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into the river flowing through Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. This poses serious health risks, environmental damage, and threats to people, wildlife, the regional water supply, and potentially the Atlantic Ocean. This is Democrat mismanagement—particularly by Maryland's Democrat leaders—for causing the crisis. Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress have defunded FEMA forcing its employees to coordinate cleanup efforts without pay. Also, processed foods should be defended against their common portrayal as dietary villains. About 100 years ago, mass urbanization, poverty, and lack of refrigeration made fresh food scarce, expensive, and prone to spoilage or contamination in cities, leading to widespread issues like foodborne illnesses, malnutrition, stomach cancer, dysentery, and short life expectancy. Processed foods, including canning, pasteurization, and preservatives, emerged as a critical solution to feed growing populations safely and affordably, preventing starvation and reducing risks from rancid or adulterated items. While some synthetic additives may have downsides, they are far safer than historical alternatives like rotten eggs or swill milk. Our military personnel deserve our respect and our gratitude. They stand ready to act on orders from President Trump to protect current and future generations from Iran. Ordinary Americans strongly support the military, unlike Marxists, Islamists, woke individuals, neo-Nazis, and isolationists. Isolationism against evils like Islamism, Communism, and fascism is suicidal. Sen Bernie Sanders continues to display a perplexing misunderstanding of economics with his recent attacks on billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. He claims these wealthy individuals are thwarting a wealth tax measure and insists they should pay their "fair share," ignoring the fact that the top 1% already contribute over 40% of federal income taxes. Instead of fostering an informed dialogue about economic realities, Sanders resorts to Marxist and Socialist rhetoric that vilifies success and oversimplifies the complexities of wealth creation. It's high time we confront this misguided socialist perspective and recognize the vital role that successful entrepreneurs play in driving our economy forward. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Liberty's Voice Vodcast launched today and it's different from radio or TV. Today's first episode focused on a detailed, phrase-by-phrase breakdown of the Declaration of Independence, providing historical context and highlighting its unique, inspiring, and exceptional nature as the foundation of the nation. And contrasted it with the core ideological principles of Marxism, noting how Marxism was adapted into an Americanized form by the progressive movement in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Also, there's confusion about the current situation with Iran, we initially thought military action was imminent but recent reports of another meeting in two weeks have created uncertainty. Iran continues repressing and killing its opposition while tightening its police state control. Any deal lifting sanctions would allow the regime to survive indefinitely, gain funds to strengthen its military and Islamist control, and lie about compliance, similar to North Korea. President Trump understands that if he does attack, he must win decisively. Later, a massive raw sewage spill is occurring in the Potomac River due to a break in a six-foot pipe on the Maryland side, dumping millions to hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into the river flowing through Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

United States is an unprecedented form of self-sabotage or national suicide, where the greatest nation deliberately opened its borders, imported people from regions who refuse to assimilate, contribute, or integrate, and instead seek to destroy and conquer from within. This is not a hostile invasion, but a celebrated parade enabled by the Democrat Party, liberal groups in Europe and elsewhere, and secularists, and who believe in unrestricted openness. Later, the media report on every instance when ICE detains someone who, it later turns out, should not have been detained. There will always be some level of misidentification when dealing with such large numbers of people and chaotic situations. There were no endless news reports on what has happened to people when the border was wide open, and the brutality and inhumanity resulting from that policy. The murdered, raped, and otherwise brutalized American citizens are mostly ignored. The media are so completely in the tank for the Democrats and the left, they're open and blatant about it and don't give a damn. Also, this debt crisis in America predates President Trump – it stems from a massive welfare state which expanded to include illegal aliens, unchecked waste, fraud, and abuse costing hundreds of billions annually, and out-of-control Marxist-socialist policies. Congress is unable to fix this problem because Democrats want to spend even more. Unchecked fiscal irresponsibility risks economic collapse, worthless currency, stagflation, societal dislocation, and violent riots if the system fails. We need to ensure that our republic survives! Lastly, the Democrats in the House voted against funding key components of the Department of Homeland Security, including FEMA, TSA, the Secret Service, and others, while ICE funding continues through 2027. Democrats are pushing demands that would severely hamper ICE's ability to identify, apprehend, detain, and deport illegal aliens, while granting increased protections to them. Democrats will orchestrate a propaganda campaign, with media assistance, to blame Republicans for resulting inconveniences to air travelers and disaster victims when they shut down the government.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, First Lady Melania Trump calls in to explain how she successfully facilitated the return of Russian and Ukrainian children to their families after they were separated because of the war. She also discusses her new movie – MELANIA, which is in theaters now. Afterward, the Democrats in the House voted against funding key components of the Department of Homeland Security, including FEMA, TSA, the Secret Service, and others, while ICE funding continues through 2027.  Democrats are pushing demands that would severely hamper ICE's ability to identify, apprehend, detain, and deport illegal aliens, while granting increased protections to them. Democrats will orchestrate a propaganda campaign, with media assistance, to blame Republicans for resulting inconveniences to air travelers and disaster victims when they shut down the government. Later, several members of Congress, including Senator Mark Kelly released a video urging military personnel and intelligence community members to defy or turn against the commander-in-chief without justification.  Secretary of War Pete Hegseth took action against Kelly arguing that allowing such actions to go unchecked erodes military discipline and standards. But federal judge Richard Leon for issuing a ruling that blocked the Pentagon's attempt to strip Kelly of his rank and pension, calling the decision contemptible, stupid, and an overreach. Leon should retire or leave the bench now.  Finally, Don Hodel calls in to discuss his new book: Called to Serve: My Path to President Reagan's Cabinet and Beyond. Learn more about your ad choices.
