We cover a lot of ground in this week's episode of To Save Us From Hell! There are two new entrants to the race to succeed António Guterres as the next UN Secretary-General; Cindy McCain announced she is stepping down as head of the World Food Programme, meaning there will soon be a vacancy at the top of one of the largest UN agencies—one typically led by an American; and we dissect a bizarre Security Council meeting earlier this week chaired by…Melania Trump.

Another major first time move in the most powerful group on Earth. First lady Melania Trump has taken the gavel at the UN Security Council and ended a 70 year precedent. It's strategic visibility. America doesn't act restrained or pretend. The highest expression of power is dominance with grace. Speak softly, and always with that stick. Unseen and unfunded agendas often involve children. Symbols become precedents. Then precedents become the new normal. Defining leadership is a new ball game today. Dominance without humiliation. Nobody is talking about nukes. Internal data base leaks are deliberate by federal employees. Pray for all the people losing their lives. The UFO show is coming up. The zoomies are getting very bold. The Texas elections seem spotty. Some book deal instructions. Read your Bible to learn this. Karma is not always a pleasant teacher.
Melania Trump, die Frau des US-Präsidenten Donald Trump, betrat am Wochenanfang die Tribüne des UN-Sicherheitsrats in New York. Sie missbrauchte diese für eine Show des Zynismus. Sie redete über Kinder, über Frieden, über Hoffnung. Ihre scheinbar warmen Worte bewirkten im Gegenteil eiskalte Schauer. Ein Zwischenruf von Frank Blenz. Dieser Beitrag ist auch als Audio-Podcast verfügbar.
We're back, talking about Trump's war in Iran, the midterm elections, Hillary Clinton wondering why the Republicans don't subpoena someone actually mentioned in the Epstein files over a million times, supergenius Melania Trump reading a sheet of paper at the UN, Paramount buying Warner Brothers, and the CEO of McDonald's actually trying one of his own burger products. All of this, plus the new Lanterns trailer, the last few episodes of the Beauty, the first episode of season two of Monarch, and a weird depressing movie called Eternity. All of this and more, we're still going along about that. Recorded on March 5, 2026. Tip jar! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ysgoat Get your YSGOAT tees, totes, mugs, and more in our store HERE.

Today's Headlines: The first 2026 primaries are done. In North Carolina, Democrat Roy Cooper and Republican Michael Whatley advanced to face off for retiring Sen. Thom Tillis' seat. In Arkansas, Sen. Tom Cotton cruised to renomination, while Democrat Hallie Shoffner won with 77%. Texas was a little more dramatic. After historic turnout, a Dallas judge extended voting hours over polling confusion. Attorney General Ken Paxton — who's on the ballot — asked the Texas Supreme Court to block it, and the court agreed. Paxton now heads to a GOP runoff with Sen. John Cornyn after neither hit 50%. Abroad, the Iran war intensified after drones struck the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh. President Donald Trump said Iran's air defenses were “knocked out” and promised “big-scale” strikes. Sen. Richard Blumenthal warned of possible “boots on the ground.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested U.S. strikes were preemptive ahead of Israeli action — then tried to walk that back. Israel also hit a meeting of Iran's Council of Experts during its Supreme Leader selection. Stateside, reports say some commanders framed the war to troops as “God's divine plan.” FBI Director Kash Patel fired counterintelligence officials who had worked Trump-related cases, including Iran matters, and now faces whistleblower claims over handling of an ICE shooting investigation. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem endured a bruising hearing, with Sen. Tillis suggesting she resign. House Oversight is expanding its Epstein probe to include Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and former Goldman Sachs counsel Kathy Ruemmler. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to expand France's nuclear arsenal, and Melania Trump chaired a UN Security Council meeting during the U.S. presidency rotation.

Today, Trump officials brief all of Congress on what, exactly, the administration's objectives are in Iran. Until now, the Trump administration has given conflicting accounts as to why the U.S. attacked Iran on Saturday, and there are many questions members of Congress need to ask. But will they ask them, and will the answers even matter? Nicholas Wu, a congressional reporter for Semafor, explains what Congress is likely to do – and not do.And in headlines, First Lady Melania Trump presides over a United Nations Security Council meeting about protecting children in conflict, a House committee releases videos from the Clintons' Epstein testimony, and it's primary day for voters in three Southern states.Show Notes: Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 2, 2026. We break down the U.S. and Israeli strikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and over 40 senior military leaders, along with Iran's retaliatory missile attacks on multiple Middle Eastern nations including U.S. bases in Kuwait (resulting in six American service member deaths). We discuss President Trump's announcement that operations will continue for weeks to dismantle Iran's ballistic missile capabilities, urging the Iranian people to rise up and reclaim their government. We cover the broader geopolitical shifts: Iran's isolation in the region after targeting Arab states like Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE; Lebanon's move to outlaw and disarm Hezbollah following Israeli strikes; disruptions to Russia's drone supply for Ukraine; China's loss of significant oil imports through the Strait of Hormuz; and the sidelining of European NATO allies from prior intelligence sharing. We also look at domestic reactions, including protests where Iranian-Americans expressed jubilation while some leftist groups condemned the action, and Bill Clinton's congressional testimony on Jeffrey Epstein connections. The American Mamas share their strong support for the strikes, highlighting the joy among Iranian people and frustration with media eulogies for Khamenei versus criticism of conservatives. Additional topics include a possible terror incident in Austin linked to an attacker wearing pro-Iran symbols, Rep. Ryan Zinke's retirement from Congress due to medical needs from past injuries, and First Lady Melania Trump's historic chairing of a UN Security Council meeting focused on child protection through education.

Topics:Our Society Is Captured: Australia Backs US–Israel Attacks on IranIn a solo “Iron Fist” rant, the host reviews what he calls an unprovoked US–Israel bombing campaign on Iran (“Operation Epic Fury”), describing hundreds of Tomahawk missiles, US aircraft and drones, and about 200 Israeli jets striking 500 sites, killing Iranian leaders including the Supreme Leader and at least 165 schoolgirls; Iran retaliates by striking Tel Aviv and targeting US bases in Gulf states. He argues Western leaders, especially Five Eyes governments and Australia's Anthony Albanese, condemn Iran's response while supporting the attacks, despite Iran being in negotiations at the time. He critiques media and political statements (Laura Tingle, Penny Wong, EU leaders), highlights an MSNBC exchange with Iran's foreign minister, and mocks a UN Security Council session chaired by Melania Trump. He frames the war as driven by the military-industrial complex, Zionists, capitalists, and propaganda, and portrays Albanese as captured by lobbying and abandoning his 2003 anti-Iraq-war stance, including repeating unproven claims about Iran-linked attacks in Australia.00:00 Solo Rant Setup01:13 Why People Accept It02:50 What Happened In Iran05:15 Negotiations And Pretexts07:42 Five Eyes Backing War14:06 Regime Change Playbook17:42 What Iranians Actually Want21:29 Media Clips And Hypocrisy28:58 Orwellian Interviews30:31 UN Security Council Farce30:44 Melania Chairs UN32:40 Melania Doc Roast34:02 Greenland And Denmark34:44 Why Attack Iran Now35:12 Four Forces Behind War38:07 Albanese In Focus38:53 World Reactions Clip41:08 Albanese Then Vs Now44:11 Claims Of Iran Attacks47:36 Greens And Critics50:34 Lobby Power And Capture54:47 Leadership And Wrap UpTo financially support the Podcast you can make:a per-episode donation via Patreon or one-off donation via credit card; orone-off or regular donations via Paypal orif you are into Cryptocurrency you can send Satoshis.

Russia is responsible for the largest “systematic child abduction operation” since World War II, according to European Union Ambassador to the U.S. Jovita Neliupšienė. “This is actually a civilization erasure, when you actually try to destroy the future of your neighboring country,” Neliupšienė says. It is estimated that more than 20,000 children have been abducted from Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion four years ago, according to the ambassador. Some of the older children who were taken are now being trained to fight for the Russian army, she explains on this week's edition of “Problematic Women.” “They will try to start to train them as little soldiers, in a way, to go through the brainwashing,” she said. First Lady Melania Trump has become an outspoken advocate for Ukraine's children and has called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to return the abducted minors. Neliupšienė joins the show to share the stories of Ukrainian children who have been abducted, and some who have been returned. She also explain why Russia is targeting a generation of young people. Also on today's show, the ambassador addresses U.S. concerns that Europe is losing its culture amid a growing migrant population that struggles to, or chooses not to, assimilate into Western culture.

Last night’s State of the Union Address was, though indirectly, in many ways largely indicative of the ‘State of our Union’; irascible, beleaguered, gaslighted, schizophrenic.

Claim Rebuttal Source Rebuttal ‘$18 trillion’ in investments CNN’s Daniel Dale “…the White House’s own website said the figure for “major investment announcements” during this Trump term was “$9.7 trillion,” and even that is a major exaggeration; a detailed CNN review in [Oct 2025] found [WH counting trillions in] vague investment pledges, pledges that were about “bilateral trade” or “economic exchange” rather than investment in the US and vague statements that didn’t even rise to the level of pledges.” Low gas prices (2.30, 1.99, 1.85) CNN’s Daniel Dale According to AAA: only 2 states w/ avg < $2.50/gal; GasBuddy: 4:150k (.003%) gas stations w/ gas < $2/gal Inherited record inflation CNN’s Daniel Dale Dec, 2024 Y-O-Y inflation (CPI): 2.9% Inherited stagnant economy CNN’s Daniel Dale False (see details) Passed largest tax cuts (GBBB) in American history CNN’s Tami Luhby “It ranks seventh in terms of share of GDP since 1918, according to Chris Towner, policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog group.” Biden allowed ‘11,888 murderers’ to enter US as migrants CNN’s Daniel Dale ““11,888” number is about non-citizens who entered the US not just under Biden but over the course of multiple decades, including during Trump’s own first administration.” Foreign countries are paying T47 tariffs CNN’s Daniel Dale “In an analysis released in February, officials at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York wrote, “We find that nearly 90 percent of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers.”…[CBO] wrote in a February report that “the net effect of tariffs is to raise U.S. consumer prices by the full portion of the cost of the tariffs borne domestically (95 percent)”…” Fraud in Minnesota CNN’s Daniel Dale “…Walz admin official said in December that they had “evidence of tens of millions of dollars in fraud to this point,” not $9[/18/19] billion…” US elections claims CNN’s Daniel Dale Disputed (see details) More Americans are working today than ever CNN’s Daniel Dale “The labor force participation rate, which measures the percentage of the population that is employed or actively looking for work, has been almost unchanged…” Ended eight wars CNN’s Daniel Dale Largely disputed (see details) Achieved no tax on Social Security CNN’s Tami Luhby Disputed, misleading (see details) Balancing the federal budget by ending fraud CNN’s Tami Luhby 2024 GAO estimate “found that [$233–521B] is lost to fraud annually. But the federal budget deficit came in at just under $1.8 trillion for the most recent fiscal year, which ended in September, according to the Treasury Department – more than triple the highest estimated fraud total.” #Contemporaneous Notes Duration: 01:47:43 (longest SOTU in history – breaking the modern record he set last year.)

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta segunda-feira (23): O presidente do Supremo Tribunal Federal, Edson Fachin, determinou o arquivamento da ação que questionava a atuação do ministro Dias Toffoli no caso envolvendo o Banco Master. A decisão foi tomada neste sábado (21). Paralelamente, o ministro André Mendonça deverá se reunir novamente nesta semana com integrantes da Polícia Federal para discutir os próximos passos da investigação sobre supostas fraudes relacionadas à instituição financeira, que seguem em apuração. O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), informou que o relator da proposta de emenda à Constituição que trata do fim da escala de trabalho 6x1 será definido no início desta semana. A indicação ocorrerá na Comissão de Constituição e Justiça (CCJ), etapa considerada decisiva para a tramitação da PEC, que propõe mudanças na jornada semanal de trabalho e tem gerado amplo debate entre parlamentares, empresários e trabalhadores. Brasil e China aparecem entre os países que podem ser mais beneficiados pelas mudanças nas tarifas anunciadas pelo presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, entre sexta-feira (20) e sábado (21). As medidas devem alterar o fluxo do comércio internacional, encarecendo produtos de alguns concorrentes e abrindo espaço para exportações brasileiras e chinesas em setores estratégicos. Agentes do Serviço Secreto dos Estados Unidos e policiais do Departamento do Xerife do Condado de Palm Beach mataram a tiros um homem armado após ele entrar ilegalmente no perímetro de segurança de Mar-a-Lago, na Flórida, na madrugada deste domingo (22). Segundo as autoridades, o suspeito, de cerca de 20 anos, invadiu a área por volta de 1h30 e foi neutralizado. O presidente Donald Trump e a primeira-dama Melania Trump não estavam no local no momento do incidente, pois se encontravam na Casa Branca. Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, conhecido como El Mencho, fundador do Cartel Jalisco Nova Geração, morreu neste domingo (22), aos 59 anos, durante uma operação do Exército no México. Considerado o último grande narcotraficante em atividade no país, El Mencho construiu o cartel mais poderoso e violento do território mexicano por meio do confronto direto com autoridades e do uso sistemático da violência. Sua morte ocorre anos após a prisão de líderes históricos do Cartel de Sinaloa, como Joaquín Guzmán e Ismael Zambada. O governo dos Estados Unidos oferecia recompensa de US$ 15 milhões por sua captura, e especialistas o classificavam como um criminoso “violento por natureza”, que desafiava abertamente o Estado mexicano. O Governo do Brasil, por meio da Caixa, inicia nesta segunda-feira (23) a terceira etapa da liberação do vale-recarga de gás de cozinha (GLP) para beneficiários do Programa Gás do Povo. A nova fase vai contemplar cerca de 4,5 milhões de famílias em todo o país. Em entrevista ao Jornal da Manhã, o deputado federal Pedro Lupion, presidente da Frente Parlamentar Agropecuária (FPA), afirmou que o setor portuário e o agronegócio consideram ilegal a invasão indígena ao terminal da Cargill, em Santarém, no Pará, que levou o governo a suspender a licitação de dragagem no Rio Tapajós. Lupion também comentou a expectativa do agro em relação à nova tarifa de 15% anunciada pelo presidente dos EUA, Donald Trump, avaliando possíveis impactos sobre exportações brasileiras. O ex-vereador Carlos Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) afirmou neste domingo (22) que existe um “desencontro” interno no Partido Liberal e insinuou que seu pai, o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro, estaria sendo isolado pela sigla após ter a prisão decretada.

Supreme Court strikes down President Donald Trump's global 'reciprocal' tariffs, ruling 6-3 that his use of an emergency powers law was unconstitutional because, as Chief Justice John Roberts wrote, 'The Framers did not vest any part of the taxing power in the Executive Branch.' President Trump calls the decision 'deeply disappointing' and that he is 'absolutely ashamed' of the justices who voted in the majority, but the President also says he will rely on other laws that do give him the ability to set tariffs and immediately sets a 10% global tariff; we will hear from the President & Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and talk to Vox Media's Supreme Court reporter Ian Millhiser (14); President Trump says he is considering a limited military strike on Iran if negotiations over Iran's nuclear program do not reach an acceptable agreement; Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says tests for Commercial Driver's Licenses will from now on be given only in English; National Governors Association hears from pollster Frank Luntz at its Winter Meeting in DC; NASA says the wet dress rehearsal of the Artemis II moon mission went well; First Lady Melania Trump donates her second inaugural gown to the Smithsonian Museum of American History.

Karen Friedman Agnifilo and guest host Lisa Graves host the top-ranked law and politics podcast Legal AF and break down this week's most explosive legal and political developments at the intersection of law and democracy. From Fulton County officials calling a search warrant affidavit blatantly unconstitutional and lacking probable cause after a referral by a previously sanctioned election denier, to a sweeping TRO from Judge Rufe confronting slavery whitewashing, KFA and Lisa explain how these rulings test the limits of prosecutorial power and historical truth. They also dive into due process showdowns before Judge Xinis in the Abrego Garcia matter and Judge Boesberg over the case of 137 disappeared men, and what those orders mean for executive accountability. Finally, they tackle the political and legal fallout from Melania Trump opening a new front in federal court involving journalist Michael Wolff and revelations about her residence, before previewing the Supreme Court of the United States term's looming opinions on tariffs and other major cases.

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.

Michael Wolff steps inside the chaos swirling around Trump World—from Wolff's bombshell federal lawsuit against Melania Trump, which he says could finally force sworn answers about the Trump–Epstein relationship, to the extraordinary legal fight over where the First Lady actually lives. As Wolff argues that anti-SLAPP laws may become a frontline weapon against what he calls the White House's assault on free speech, he and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty dissect the implications of Melania's alleged full-time life in New York, her separate Trump Tower apartment, and the branding empire she's quietly building. The conversation then widens to what Wolff portrays as a second administration defined by loyalty over competence: election denier Kurt Olsen rising to oversee election security, Pam Bondi's combative Hill performance, and the bizarre El Paso airspace shutdown involving secret lasers, drone claims, and bureaucratic bedlam. Is this a White House tightening its grip—or a government spinning into incompetence so profound it can no longer explain itself? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On this weeks show John and his pilot buddies get together to help victims of Hurricane Harvey, Rush Limbaugh is in love with Melania Trump, and Randy the Chipmunk has the mob after him.
Today's Headlines: This weekend was a lot. The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl, the Winter Olympics kicked off in Milan, and Vice President JD Vance managed to make himself the main character by getting booed at the opening ceremony and delaying U.S. figure skater Alysa Liu with his massive motorcade — after reportedly flying a plane full of food to Italy, of all places. Embarrassing, but not even close to the most serious news. The FBI has invited election officials from all 50 states to an unusual “election briefing” later this month, amid growing concerns about Trump's repeated calls to nationalize elections. At the same time, DHS has reportedly used administrative subpoenas to try to obtain user data on critics of the Trump administration, including people sharing information about ICE activity or emailing officials to oppose deportations. The Tulsi Gabbard saga also deepened, with new reporting revealing that she allegedly blocked the NSA from circulating a report about a suspicious phone call involving someone tied to foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump — a move that ultimately triggered the whistleblower complaint now under scrutiny. Meanwhile, fallout from the Epstein files continued, with multiple high-profile figures in the U.S. and Europe facing investigations, resignations, or calls to step aside. European governments in particular have moved quickly, launching probes into Epstein's ties to human trafficking, Russian intelligence, and elite institutions — while U.S. consequences remain scarce. Elsewhere, China announced a renewed crackdown on crypto trading loopholes, reports emerged that U.S. service members were pressured to attend screenings of a Melania Trump documentary, the Trump administration allegedly threatened to freeze $16 billion in infrastructure funding unless major transit hubs were renamed after the president, and New York City lawmakers overrode a veto to strengthen labor protections for Uber and Lyft drivers.
