The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – In the name of Freedom of Speech—our nation's First Amendment, this type of discussion should have been praised.

Almost immediately after his death, the shock has been from the many vile comments...

First Amendment: Is the sale of an AutoKeyCard, a template that can be used to make an AR-15 into an automatic rifle, protected by the First Amendment? - Argued: Thu, 11 Sep 2025 11:17:58 EDT

What does “free speech” really mean—and what doesn't it mean? Today, Todd takes a hard look at Jimmy Kimmel's suspension after ABC affiliates refused to air his show following his grotesque comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination. The media wants you to believe this is censorship, but Todd unpacks the truth: free speech is about protection from government interference, not immunity from accountability in the workplace or public square.We walk through the history of broadcast licenses, why the FCC plays a role in regulating limited airwaves, and how that differs from the unlimited nature of the internet. Todd explains why affiliates have the right to reject Kimmel's program, why ABC can suspend him, and why none of this violates the First Amendment. Along the way, he contrasts real accountability with cancel culture, highlighting the difference between enforcing clear rules and simply silencing viewpoints.Todd also connects these issues to broader battles in media, culture, and the marketplace—from corporate bias to social media censorship to the importance of supporting businesses that share your values. As always, he calls out hypocrisy, exposes propaganda, and reminds listeners that conservatives must not be intimidated into silence.Don't miss this bold, unapologetic episode on the fight for truth, liberty, and decency in America.Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Show Sponsors: https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODD Red, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.SolTea – Heart health made simple.

President Trump seems even more angry at the media than usual. His lawyers just filed a lawsuit against The New York Times that First Amendment lawyers are dismissing as a total joke. The suit, however, is also chock full of angry rants that appeared dictated by Trump himself. And he announced it with a Truth Social tirade that boiled with fury. Meanwhile, Trump himself snapped directly at reporters in strange ways, hitting one with a bizarre threat and engaging in a bizarre dominance display over the other. This comes as a new poll from the Economist reveals shockingly low support for Trump among independents, a key metric for gauging political strength—or weakness. We talked to Paul Waldman, who recently argued on his Substack, The Cross Section, that Trump's powers of persuasion are failing him. We discuss how Trump both despises and relies on the media, the real reasons for his mounting anger, and how it's all revealing big cracks in his authoritarian project.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

00:00:50 – Trump, NFL & Dictatorship ComparisonsThe show opens with Trump mocking the NFL's new kickoff rule as “sissy football.” This segues into a warning about Trump's emergency powers, tariffs, and governing by decree, comparing him to global dictators. 00:13:58 – Free Speech Betrayed After Kirk's DeathDiscussion of Trump, JD Vance, and GOP leaders calling for censorship in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. The Smith-Mundt Act is misrepresented to justify cracking down on the press, with comparisons to Reagan's betrayal of the Second Amendment after the Brady shooting. 00:23:10 – Media Control & False NarrativesGuests like Tucker Carlson and RFK Jr. are accused of aiding efforts to redefine free speech as terrorism. Skepticism is raised toward Steve Bannon's claims and the FBI's version of events, framing it as another push toward surveillance and internet ID mandates. 00:36:17 – Armed Queers & Radical MarxistsCoverage of “Armed Queers SLC,” a Marxist-LGBT militant group in Utah linked to Cuba. Their open revolutionary training and ties to Antifa figures are framed as proof that universities are breeding grounds for leftist terrorism. 00:52:02 – First Amendment vs. ViolenceDebate shifts to why the First Amendment is more important than the Second, arguing that radicalization comes from schools, culture, and censorship itself—not weapons. Liberty is portrayed as inherently dangerous but preferable to state control. 01:18:12 – Internet Control & Epstein Files BuriedSpeculation deepens around the Kirk shooting, with questions about the rifle used, multiple shooters, and hand signals. The assassination is tied to a broader effort to end online anonymity, while the Epstein files are said to be quietly buried under the media fog. 01:34:28 – J.K. Rowling & Faith StrugglesDiscussion of Rowling's “God-shaped vacuum” comments, her shift toward more conservative views, and Pascal's wager. The host critiques her books as amoral and emphasizes grounding in the Bible. 01:49:45 – Authoritarian Conservatism & Cancel CultureCriticism of JD Vance and other GOP leaders for embracing cancel culture, urging snitching on Kirk critics, and mirroring Stasi-style tactics. The host stresses this betrays free speech and liberty. 01:55:23 – Social Media, Radicalization & SchoolsDebunking claims that social media “killed Charlie Kirk.” Instead, government schools are identified as the true source of radicalization, pushing Marxism, LGBT ideology, and secular humanism. 02:28:38 – AI Fails & Security RisksCoverage of how AI coding creates massive security vulnerabilities and relies on underpaid human moderators. The “AI bubble” is framed as a pyramid scheme propped up by propaganda and capital burn. 02:53:43 – Gold Surges Amid Panic CutsFinancial analyst Ed Dowd predicts a “panic rate cut cycle,” driving gold above $3,700. Gold is praised as a hedge against inflation, privacy loss, and collapsing fiat systems, while Trump's tariffs are blamed for worsening the economy.

22-year-old Tyler Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder in the fatal shooting of far-right extremist Charlie Kirk. Utah prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty. Court filings allege Robinson planned the attack for more than a week, confessed in text messages to his roommate, and left DNA on the rifle believed to be the murder weapon. Investigators also say his mother identified him in photos released by police. Robinson remains held without bail and is expected to make his first court appearance via video.

Ballot measures give voters a chance to participate in direct democracy while providing nonprofit organizations with a powerful platform to educate the public about issues they champion. In this episode, we discuss California's pending redistricting ballot measure and other developments in direct democracy with returning guest Emma Olson Sharkey. Attorneys for this Episode • Tim Mooney • Susan Finkel Sourlis • Emma Olson Sharkey, Elias Law Group The Importance of Ballot Measures ·       Ballot measures give voters direct power to shape laws and policies, bypassing legislatures. ·       For nonprofits, they're a powerful platform to educate the public and advance mission-driven issues. ·       Emma Olson Sharkey—partner at Elias Law Group and one of the nation's leading ballot measure experts—returns to share insights (last heard in ROTG 96). California's Prop 50: Mid-Cycle Redistricting ·       Background: California has an independent redistricting commission that drew maps in 2021 for the 2022 elections. ·       New twist: In response to Texas' recent partisan maps, Governor Newsom and allies pushed for mid-decade redistricting. ·       The ballot measure: Prop 50, passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor, will go to voters in a special election on November 4, 2025. Redistricting Through Ballot Measures ·       Ballot measures have long been used to reform redistricting across the U.S. ·       Examples:   - Successful: Colorado (2018), Michigan (2018), Missouri (2020), Ohio (2018).   - Unsuccessful: Ohio's most recent attempt. ·       Mid-cycle redistricting isn't new: Texas pioneered it in 2003 under Tom DeLay, and the playbook has returned in 2025. What Nonprofits Need to Know ·       501(c)(3) Public Charities: May engage in ballot measure advocacy—it counts as lobbying. Key distinction: 'Vote yes/no on Prop X' = permissible lobbying; 'Vote for Candidate Y' = prohibited partisan activity. ·       Because Prop 50 is rooted in partisan battles, public charities must tread carefully and seek legal advice before weighing in. ·       Generally safe activity: nonpartisan voter engagement (e.g., get-out-the-vote drives, voter registration), but seek counsel especially around Prop 50. ·       501(c)(4)s and Labor Organizations: Have far greater leeway—no cap on lobbying. But California's strict regulatory environment requires attention to registration and reporting obligations. Restricting Access to Ballot Initiatives ·       Since 2016, conservative legislatures have increasingly tried to restrict citizen-led ballot measures. ·       States in the spotlight: North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Missouri, Florida, Oklahoma, Arkansas. ·       Many proposals fail, but recent years have seen more succeed, especially in Florida and Arkansas. ·       Missouri is considering both mid-cycle redistricting and ballot measure restrictions in the same session. A Bit of Good News ·       South Dakota victory: A federal court struck down H.B. 1184's nine-month filing deadline for ballot measures as unconstitutional, reaffirming citizens' First Amendment rights. ·       Practical impact: Keeps the window open for grassroots groups to gather signatures and qualify measures.

The episode also looks at media consolidation, TikTok's looming takeover, foreign AI entanglements, and the widening economic divide in the U.S. Ravi closes by connecting these crises to global flashpoints—from Navalny's poisoning to U.S. immigration raids—warning that the erosion of democratic norms may be as dangerous as any single act of violence. -- Leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on the show! 201-305-0084⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Ravi at @RaviMGupta Notes from this episode are also available on Substack: https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Read more from Ravi on Substack: https://realravigupta.substack.com  Follow The Branch at @thebranchmedia Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lost-debate/id1591300785 Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xR9pch9DrQDiZfGB5oF0F

Hate speech is protected by the First Amendment's free speech rights. However, Attorney General Pam Bondi, either not knowing or not caring about this constitutional protection, expressly threatened to use the powers of the Department of Justice to "target" people who engage in hate speech. What's worse, when she tried to issue what some have called a "walk back", she neither corrected nor retracted her initial constitutional blunder.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- On Tuesday, Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray held a press conference where he announced charges against Tyler Robinson and confirmed he's seeking the death penalty for the murder of Charlie Kirk. Gray stated: “The defendant is believed to have targeted Charlie Kirk based on Charlie Kirk's political expression and did so knowing that children were present and would witness the homicide." 3:20pm- On Monday, October 13th at 7:30pm—Rich will host New York Times best-selling author Jack Carr at the Zlock Performing Arts Center (at Bucks County Community College) in Newtown, PA. They'll sit down for an engaging discussion about Jack's latest thriller, Cry Havoc—the newest installment in his acclaimed James Reece series. Known for his real-world military experience and gripping, action-packed storytelling, Jack Carr brings an unmatched authenticity to the world of political and military thrillers. For tickets visit: 1210wpht.com 3:30pm- Hans Von Spakovsky—Senior Legal Fellow at the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to charges brought against Charlie Kirk's alleged killer. Spakovsky also weighs in on comments recently made by Attorney General Pam Bondi during an appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast regarding “hate speech.” Bondi explained: “There's free speech, and then there's hate speech. And there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society. We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech." But isn't that a First Amendment violation?

The Rich Zeoli Show- 6:05pm- During an appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast, Attorney General Pam Bondi made controversial comments regarding “hate speech.” She stated: “There's free speech, and then there's hate speech. And there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society. We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech." But isn't that a First Amendment violation? 6:10pm- Bizarrely, AG Bondi doubled down on her controversial statement via a post to X: “Hate speech that crosses the line into threats of violence is NOT protected by the First Amendment. It's a crime. For far too long, we've watched the radical left normalize threats, call for assassinations, and cheer on political violence. That era is over.” 6:20pm- Rich notes, Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) established a three-pronged standard that speech advocating illegal action is not protected by the First Amendment if and ONLY if: 1. Intent—The speaker must intend to incite or produce lawless action. 2. Imminence—The lawless action must be imminent, meaning that it's expected to occur right away rather than at some indefinite future time. 3. Likelihood—The speech must be likely to actually incite or produce that imminent lawless action. 6:40pm- Embarrassing: Sen. Cory Booker lost his mind during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel—at one point continually screaming, “I'm not afraid of you!”

Join Jim and Greg for Monday's 3 Martini Lunch as they call out Democrats and the media for lying about Charlie Kirk's assassin, criticize Attorney General Pam Bondi for forgetting the First Amendment, and laugh at Pete Buttigieg's sudden admission that Joe Biden should never have run for re-election.First, they update the latest evidence in the case against the shooter who assassinated Charlie Kirk last week in Utah and then hammer elected Democrats and leftists in the media who stressed that the parents were Republicans and tried to peddle the fiction that killer was mad that Kirk was not far right enough, even after the facts were painfully obvious.Next, Jim and Greg reprimand Attorney General Pam Bondi for threatening to prosecute people for their despicable celebrations of Charlie Kirk's murder. She also demanded employers fire any employees who did that. They remind Bondi that public pressure on employers over that kind of speech is very different than the government filing charges or trying to get people fired. Jim says that's exactly what the left has been trying to do to conservatives for years.Finally, they laugh as former Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg weakly follows Kamala Harris' lead and says Joe Biden definitely should not have run for re-election in 2024. But Buttigieg, who also never said a word about his alleged concerns, says it's just time to move on now.Please visit our great sponsors:If your business can't adapt in real-time, you're in a world of hurt.  Get the free e-book “Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders” from NetSuite by Oracle.  Download today at https://NetSuite.com/MARTINISleep on an award-winning mattress from Brooklyn Bedding.

00:00:50 – Trump, NFL & Dictatorship ComparisonsThe show opens with Trump mocking the NFL's new kickoff rule as “sissy football.” This segues into a warning about Trump's emergency powers, tariffs, and governing by decree, comparing him to global dictators. 00:13:58 – Free Speech Betrayed After Kirk's DeathDiscussion of Trump, JD Vance, and GOP leaders calling for censorship in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. The Smith-Mundt Act is misrepresented to justify cracking down on the press, with comparisons to Reagan's betrayal of the Second Amendment after the Brady shooting. 00:23:10 – Media Control & False NarrativesGuests like Tucker Carlson and RFK Jr. are accused of aiding efforts to redefine free speech as terrorism. Skepticism is raised toward Steve Bannon's claims and the FBI's version of events, framing it as another push toward surveillance and internet ID mandates. 00:36:17 – Armed Queers & Radical MarxistsCoverage of “Armed Queers SLC,” a Marxist-LGBT militant group in Utah linked to Cuba. Their open revolutionary training and ties to Antifa figures are framed as proof that universities are breeding grounds for leftist terrorism. 00:52:02 – First Amendment vs. ViolenceDebate shifts to why the First Amendment is more important than the Second, arguing that radicalization comes from schools, culture, and censorship itself—not weapons. Liberty is portrayed as inherently dangerous but preferable to state control. 01:18:12 – Internet Control & Epstein Files BuriedSpeculation deepens around the Kirk shooting, with questions about the rifle used, multiple shooters, and hand signals. The assassination is tied to a broader effort to end online anonymity, while the Epstein files are said to be quietly buried under the media fog. 01:34:28 – J.K. Rowling & Faith StrugglesDiscussion of Rowling's “God-shaped vacuum” comments, her shift toward more conservative views, and Pascal's wager. The host critiques her books as amoral and emphasizes grounding in the Bible. 01:49:45 – Authoritarian Conservatism & Cancel CultureCriticism of JD Vance and other GOP leaders for embracing cancel culture, urging snitching on Kirk critics, and mirroring Stasi-style tactics. The host stresses this betrays free speech and liberty. 01:55:23 – Social Media, Radicalization & SchoolsDebunking claims that social media “killed Charlie Kirk.” Instead, government schools are identified as the true source of radicalization, pushing Marxism, LGBT ideology, and secular humanism. 02:28:38 – AI Fails & Security RisksCoverage of how AI coding creates massive security vulnerabilities and relies on underpaid human moderators. The “AI bubble” is framed as a pyramid scheme propped up by propaganda and capital burn. 02:53:43 – Gold Surges Amid Panic CutsFinancial analyst Ed Dowd predicts a “panic rate cut cycle,” driving gold above $3,700. Gold is praised as a hedge against inflation, privacy loss, and collapsing fiat systems, while Trump's tariffs are blamed for worsening the economy.

America's chief law enforcer cannot have a fundamental misunderstanding of the First Amendment.

A week into the school year, Seattle students have already found a reason to walk out in protest. No oversight of the homeless industrial complex.

Tensions between the United States and Venezuela are rapidly intensifying. Just hours after Caracas condemned a U.S. strike that killed 11 people, President Trump announced a second attack on a Venezuelan boat, killing three more. Washington calls the dead “narcoterrorists,” while Venezuela denounces the strikes as “heinous crimes.” With two lethal encounters in just days, fears are mounting that these clashes could spiral into a wider regional conflict — or even outright war.

In the wake of George Floyd's death and the protests that followed, California passed a law limiting the use of force against people exercising their First Amendment rights. An LAist investigation found that even when police departments appear to be breaking that law, the state doesn't have a mechanism to actually enforce it.

South Carolina's universities are under fire as accusations swirl that Clemson employees celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk and even suggested future political murders. Attorney General Alan Wilson says the First Amendment doesn't protect incitement to violence — yet Clemson's leadership resists full accountability. Former Freedom Caucus Chairman Adam Morgan joins the show to expose what he calls a taxpayer-funded effort to normalize “pro-murder” rhetoric on campuses. From calls to defund Clemson and Coastal Carolina to warnings about precedent-setting free speech battles, this episode dives into the clash between higher education, politics, and public safety. Is this about protecting academic freedom — or protecting radicalism? And what should parents, donors, and lawmakers do next? Tune in for a raw, unfiltered conversation on the stakes for South Carolina and beyond.

This morning, we're zeroing in on MAGA's escalating attack on free speech. In the wake of Charlie Kirk's tragic death, the right is weaponizing a tragedy as a tool for censorship. Pam Bondi is now floating the idea that certain comments will be labeled “hate speech” and prosecuted. Donald Trump is suing The New York Times, and the administration looks like it's on a warpath against anyone who refuses to fall in line. Here's the twist: even some MAGA voices are starting to speak out against this blatant disregard for the First Amendment. Will the administration really be able to push this through? And what does it mean for the future of free expression in America? Let's break it down. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Jon Herold delivers a shorter, pre-recorded episode while traveling, focusing on what he sees as a dangerous psyop unfolding after Charlie Kirk's assassination. He warns that many on the right are abandoning principle for emotion, embracing cancel culture tactics once decried as corrosive. Drawing on clips from Pam Bondi and Matt Walsh, Jon highlights the hypocrisy of calling for hate speech crackdowns and firings while simultaneously claiming to defend free expression. He argues that labeling ugly speech as “incitement” mirrors the very tactics used against Trump after January 6 and risks eroding First Amendment protections for all. Alongside this cultural critique, Jon touches on fundraising efforts by TPUSA, questions around Tyler Robinson's Discord “confession,” and Trump's remarks on Antifa and TikTok negotiations. The episode is a call for discernment, reminding listeners that the true enemy is the entrenched establishment and psyops designed to divide, not ordinary Americans on the other side of the aisle.

'BradCast' 9/15/2025: After Kirk Murder, First Amendment, But Not Second, Under Attack. Prove Me Wrong by Progressive Voices

Stories we're following this morning at Progress Texas:The Trump administration, using the Charlie Kirk killing as a reason, is pledging a widespread crackdown on progressive organizations, activist groups and media outlets - much like ours: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/us/politics/jd-vance-charlie-kirk-show.html...A Texas Tech student's arrest and expulsion over her mocking of a Kirk vigil on campus is looking central to a potential First Amendment legal fight: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/texas-tech-student-charlie-kirk-21049660.php...A Texas Education Agency invitation to parents to turn their kids' teachers in for insufficient display of grief over Kirk has resulted in almost 200 such complaints: https://www.click2houston.com/news/texas/2025/09/16/roughly-180-complaints-filed-against-texas-teachers-for-alleged-comments-on-killing-of-charlie-kirk/Today is National Voter Registration Day!

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITEver noticed how quick people are to judge what they don't understand? Today's candid morning reflection dives into the frustration of watching uninformed critics attack public figures like Charlie Kirk while openly admitting they know nothing about him. It's not the unhinged rants from predictable quarters that bother me—it's the supposedly reasonable people who speak with unearned authority.The contradictions don't stop there. When "Hacks" actress Hannah Einbinder ended her Emmy acceptance speech with "Free Palestine," she likely never imagined Hamas-affiliated media would enthusiastically share her message—while simultaneously censoring her bare shoulders for "moral purity." The cognitive dissonance is striking: championing a cause without recognizing the fundamental values at stake. Speaking of recognition, Jennifer Lopez's latest platinum blonde transformation has fans doing double-takes, with many mistaking her for Gwen Stefani after what appears to be significant cosmetic work.Meanwhile, Starbucks continues its downward spiral with plummeting sales and customer experiences that fail to meet even basic expectations. Despite CEO promises of improvement, dirty stores and interminable wait times plague the once-dominant coffee chain. My suggestion? Create separate drive-thru lanes for mobile orders—a simple fix that could dramatically improve customer satisfaction. Beyond these observations lies a deeper question about free speech in America: should hate speech laws exist at all? My position is clear—in America, even offensive speech deserves protection under the First Amendment. What's your take? The conversation continues at TheAmericanist.com, where my upcoming article and video will further explore these pressing issues.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

00:00:50 – Conservatives Flip Cancel CultureOpening segment critiques GOP leaders for embracing censorship after Charlie Kirk's assassination, arguing they are betraying his free speech legacy and becoming worse than the left. 00:06:30 – Radical GOP ProposalsRepresentative Clay Higgins is condemned for pushing lifetime social media bans, revoked business licenses, and even driver's license cancellations for speech deemed offensive—an attack on the First Amendment through Big Tech partnerships. 00:14:00 – Smith-Mundt Act MisusedA viral Trump-supporting TikToker calls for a “Charlie Kirk Act” to censor the press. The host explains how the Smith-Mundt Act was never about punishing speech but restricting government propaganda—warning that censorship is being rebranded for conservatives. 00:23:15 – Cancel Culture HypocrisyBoth Democrats and Republicans are accused of exploiting Kirk's death—Democrats tying it to gun control, Republicans pushing censorship. The host argues both sides are betraying the principles Kirk defended. 00:31:38 – GOP Leaders Demand ConsequencesSenators like Katie Britt and J.D. Vance are highlighted for calling to punish “hate speech,” showing how the right is embracing the same cancel culture tactics they once condemned. 00:52:28 – Israel, Donors & ConspiraciesSpeculation surfaces that Kirk's rejection of Netanyahu-linked funding and warnings to Trump about Israel may have made him a target. The host urges caution, noting no evidence yet connects Israel to his assassination despite widespread rumors online. 01:02:08 – Motives Behind Kirk's MurderCommentary on possible motives for Charlie Kirk's assassination, including Trump benefiting from chaos and his recent criticism of Israel. Calls for careful examination before jumping to conclusions. 01:03:53 – FCC, Censorship & Big TechGuard Goldsmith highlights how GOP proposals mirror unconstitutional FCC powers. The host warns conservatives are embracing the same censorship and propaganda tactics they once opposed. 01:12:00 – Public Schools as Root CauseDiscussion shifts to government schools as the breeding ground for Marxism, transgender ideology, and political violence. Schools are described as “seminaries” for collectivism and indoctrination. 01:19:21 – Socialist Politicians on the RiseProfiles of young socialist candidates like Mamadou Niang in NYC and Omar Fatah in Minneapolis. Their platforms include rent freezes, taxing “white people,” gender ideology, and anti-police measures. 01:23:11 – Property Taxes & Education FundingAnalysis of efforts in Florida, Texas, and Indiana to roll back property taxes that fund schools. Property taxes are described as “theft,” preventing true ownership and propping up socialist indoctrination. 01:35:36 – Ending Political Violence by Ending Public SchoolsClosing argument that Marxist frameworks taught in schools normalize hatred and violence. The only solution, the host insists, is the complete separation of education from government. 01:44:24 – Discord, Radicalization & SchoolsCriticism of Zero Hedge and conservative media for blaming Discord for radicalizing shooters. The argument is that the true root cause is government schools, not messaging platforms. 01:51:26 – FBI Failures & Influencer BureaucracyCash Patel and Dan Bongino are mocked as “influencer appointees” running the FBI like a pageant. The bureau is accused of incompetence after failing to catch Kirk's killer without public tips. 02:01:06 – Co-Conspirators & Shooter's RadicalizationFBI claims to be investigating possible co-conspirators. Discussion focuses on how schools, not Discord or games, radicalize youth into violence, while trans ideology fuels desperation. 02:07:17 – Shooter's Identity & Furry SubcultureDetails emerge about the assassin's background: Mormon upbringing, transgender partners, furry subculture, and ideological indoctrination. Schools are again blamed as the pipeline of radicalization. 02:22:14 – Prayer Criminalized in AustraliaReports from New South Wales highlight laws banning prayer for transgender individuals. Framed as proof that Western democracies are outlawing Christianity while enforcing state ideology. 02:35:42 – AI Becomes a False ReligionMillions use AI-powered religious chatbots for guidance. This is described as “Ouija board religion,” a technocratic counterfeit that flatters narcissism while storing confessions for surveillance. 02:51:16 – Venezuela Oil Grab & Trump's War PlansFinal segment argues Trump's push into Venezuela is about seizing the world's largest oil reserves under the guise of “democratic stability.” Parallels are drawn to CIA drug running and past U.S. wars for resources.
