How Tariffs Could Strain Water Supplies. That story and more on H2O Radio's weekly news report. Headlines: A judge says construction must temporarily stop at “Alligator Alcatraz” to review its environmental impacts on the Florida Everglades. The Trump administration wants to revise the National Climate Assessment, the foundation of U.S. climate science. Tariffs are being used as a tool to grow the U.S. semiconductor industry. Is there enough water to support making more chips? Why the Eiffel Tower gets taller and leans in the summer.

This week on We're Still Here, Simon and Julie join John to cover big wins and ongoing battles across Indian Country. A female federal judge (matriarchy for the win!) has temporarily halted construction of the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Florida Everglades. The Pennsylvania State Museum is returning thousands of stolen Native artifacts to Tribal Nations. And in California, the Presbytery of San Gabriel has made history by returning ancestral land to the Gabrieleno Tongva Tribal Council. They also highlight how Native Nations are pushing back against anti-trans legislation, affirming that sovereignty includes the right to protect LGBTQ2S+ and Two-Spirit citizens with dignity, safety, and culturally grounded care.

Send us a textLast week, I shared some strange urban legends with you about Florida. I left off sharing two things, first, Florida has more than its share of cryptids! And second, my daughter that got me curious about the spooky side of this state, told me an urban legend you've got to hear. Let's get into it!Florida CryptidsIf you were to attend some supernatural trivia night at the local pub, then I've no doubt if asked what the most famous Florida cryptid was, you'd know the answer. Skunk Ape. Cousin to Sasquatch, this guy is said smell really ripe. I found an interesting story about the Skunk Ape in a book titled, Freaky Florida written by Mark Muncy and Kari Schultz. Find links to purchase it in the show notes. I hope it sets the senses into the swampy, humid Florida landscape.Mark Muncy writes; "Look at any map of Florida and you will see a very large block in the middle of the state with no major roads. The largest area stretches from Lakeland to the north beyond Leesburg. This empty area once saw rival railroads trying to reach Tampa Bay. It once housed numerous little towns and homesteads trying to make their way in teh early Florida land booms." From the passage of time, the swamp is reclaiming the last vestiges of man's attempts to colonize the area. Now in state control, it's called the Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve.Show Sources and MaterialsFreaky Florida, Mark Muncy and Kari SchultzWampus Cat Legend and Lore, WBIR - 10 NewsThe Child-Eating Wampus Cat, Atlas ObscuraMahaba, the giant crocodile, Cryptid Archives FandomExploring the Florida Everglades' Weird Folklore: Myths and Legends of the United States, T's Storytime, YouTubeThe Trident-Tailed Water Monster of Florida, source: East TennesseanSicklefin Devil Ray of Florida, MarineMegafauna.org, Jessica PateSea Monster Museum in Iceland, Atlas ObscuraI don't accept sponsors and paid advertisers.

The Trump Administration is quickly ramping up its efforts to arrest and deport as many undocumented immigrants as possible, now that extra money is starting to roll in thanks to President Donald Trump's new tax and spending law. It set aside more than $170 billion in new funding for immigration enforcement, including $45 billion to build and expand detention centers and $29 billion to help hire new immigration agents. The most notorious symbol of the administration's immigration crackdown is the pop up detention center in the Florida Everglades the administration calls ‘Alligator Alcatraz.' But more facilities are popping up all over the country, as are allegations of horrific conditions. Katie Blankenship is an attorney and co-founder of Sanctuary of the South, which provides legal services and civil rights representation throughout the region.

Nicky Gonzalez joins us to discuss her Gothic debut novel, Mayra (2025, Random House), a story about two friends who reunite in a mysterious house in the Florida Everglades and uncover a hidden history. It's a book that Karen Thompson Walker describes as "part coming-of-age story, part Twilight Zone episode, part thoughtful meditation on all of the ways that memory is itself a haunted house."  Gonzalez hails from Hialeah, Florida. She earned her MFA from the University of Oregon, where she also taught fiction and composition. Her work has appeared in McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, BOMB Magazine, Kenyon Review Online, and Taco Bell Quarterly, among other publications. In 2021 she was a finalist for the Granum Foundation Prize.Host: Davin MalasarnThe Artist's Statement is brought to you by The Granum Foundation.

Deep in the Florida Everglades, where corruption runs as thick as the swamp, a broken immigration detention center becomes ground zero for a darkly comic uprising. When mild-mannered maintenance worker Tommy Esperanza is wrongfully detained, he teams up with a mysterious fellow inmate to turn the system upside down—using bureaucracy's own chaos against it. With wisecracking narration from Southern legend Beau Thibodaux, Alligator Alcatraz is a sharp, satirical romp through government failure, family separation, and unlikely heroism. It's Shawshank Redemption meets Veep, with gators.Follow Alligator Alcatraz on Apple Podcasts or whever you get your shows.

Alligator Alcatraz, a pop-up immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades, has been touted by members of the Trump Administration as an ‘efficient and low cost way' to carry out the president's mass deportation agenda against ‘criminal illegal aliens.' But an investigation by the Miami Herald found hundreds of the people at the facility have no criminal convictions or pending charges at all. And according to detainees and staff, the conditions in the makeshift facility are horrible, with reports of floors flooded with waste water, food ridden with worms, and clouds of mosquitos. Florida Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost visited Alligator Alcatraz. He joins us to talk about his experience, and how he thinks Democrats should respond.And in headlines: An Israeli strike hit the only Catholic church in Gaza, Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin slammed Trump's judicial nominee Emil Bove as “unqualified,' and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem hinted carry-on liquid limits could change.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

New reporting from the Miami Herald reveals that a significant portion of detainees held at an immigration detention facility in the Florida Everglades do not have criminal charges. Reporter Ana Ceballos joins to discuss that story and another highlighting conditions inside. Some Trump supporters inside and outside of the White House are disappointed with how the administration handled the Jeffrey Epstein case. The Washington Post’s Natalie Allison reports on how the broader MAGA movement is reacting. Anas Baba, NPR’s producer in Gaza, took the harrowing journey to get food through the new Israeli- and U.S.-backed aid distribution system. He shares what the experience was like. Plus, the Supreme Court ruled on Trump’s plans to dismantle the Department of Education, a new weapons deal for Ukraine, and the strange secret to picking the perfect watermelon. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

This week on Just Politics, Giovana Oaxaca, the senior government relations advocate for immigration with NETWORK, joins hosts Colin and Eilis to discuss the escalating immigration crisis facing communities nationwide. This episode was recorded in the immediate aftermath of the budget reconciliation bill's passage, which Oaxaca calls a “deportation bill,” one that will also decimate the social safety net programs many people rely on. The conversation tackles harsh realities, from detention camps in the Florida Everglades to terrorizing enforcement raids in Los Angeles. But Oaxaca also highlights stories of hope: organizers building solidarity in unlikely places, pastors providing sanctuary, and transformative conversations across political divides. Inspired by Pope Leo XIV's call to be “leaven of unity in a fractured world,” Oaxaca challenges us to move beyond fear toward authentic engagement, emphasizing finding common ground through shared values of human dignity.   LINKS:  https://networklobby.org/issues/immigration/  https://networklobby.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/An-Economy-for-All-One-pager.pdf

Trump's cognitive decline was on full display when a reporter asked him a simple question about how long detainees would have to stay at the so-called Alligator Alcatraz facility in the Florida Everglades. Trump asked the reporter to repeat the question and she did.Trump then launched into a nonsensical rant that had noting to do with the question that was twice asked. Watching this change makes clear that Trump wasn't unwilling to answer the simple, twice-repeated question, but rather was unable to understand and answer the question.

The Muscogee Nation will assume some law enforcement duties in the city of Tulsa, Okla., when it comes to tribal citizens. The development over jurisdiction ends a federal lawsuit filed by the Muscogee Nation in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark McGirt decision in 2020. The Cherokee and Osage Nations also potentially have jurisdiction claims in Tulsa and other cities. Local law enforcement officials and Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) oppose the agreement, saying it creates a two-tiered system of justice. We'll find out what the new agreement solves and what it leaves unanswered. Also, tribes connected to Florida are speaking out against the Trump administration's fast track plans to establish a detention center for immigration actions near the Florida Everglades. Miccosukee and Seminole tribal officials and citizens say the center, dubbed the “Alligator Alcatraz,” infringes on land that is their “cultural, spiritual, and historical identity.”

Welcome to The Clay Edwards Show, where I deliver unfiltered takes on the day's biggest issues. Today, I'm diving into two hot topics: the controversial "Alligator Alcatraz" detention facility in the Florida Everglades and why I stand by my vote for Trump. First, we explore a detainee's shocking interview from Alligator Alcatraz—complaining about mosquito-sized elephants, freezing tents, and scarce food. I call it a classic case of “eff around and find out,” arguing the conditions reflect personal accountability for those detained. Then, I explain my “ride or die” support for Trump, even while criticizing his handling of the Epstein saga. I voted for accountability and bold action—like the DOJ's new investigation into Brennan and Comey—and I'll back him when he's right, while calling him out when he's wrong. Two things can be true at once!Why Listen? A raw take on Alligator Alcatraz and its implications. Honest insight into supporting Trump with critical eyes. Unscripted debate on accountability and policy. Who's This For? If you're intrigued by immigration debates, Trump's leadership, or unfiltered political commentary, this is for you.

Join hosts Dave Roberts and Ken Pullin for episode 378 of the "Let Me Tell You Why You Wrong Podcast." Just back from his travels, County Commissioner Ken Pullin shares his unique observations and strong opinions on policy, travel, and the latest headlines. Get ready for an unfiltered discussion on legal dramas, political maneuvers, and cultural controversies. Key Topics and Unfiltered Takes:   Ken Pullin's Northeast Expedition: Ken Pullin recounts his "super nice" week in Maine, including renting a house on a lake and venturing to Ogunquit for three or four more days. He highlights the stark political contrast between Republican-leaning Kennebunkport (with its "American flags everywhere" and "Trump signs") and the more Democrat-aligned Ogunquit (where "every restaurant has the gay flag out front"). Ken also praises Boston as a "great town", noting the "pride flag" atop the Old State House, visits to Cheers, and the supposedly oldest restaurant in America, the Red Dragon Tavern. He highly recommends Acadia National Park in Maine for its "incredible" scenery and "perfect" weather, sharing a memorable encounter with a bald eagle snatching a fish while kayaking. Plus, insights into the comfort and amenities of Sky Club access during air travel.   The "Policy Problem" of Traffic Stops: As a county commissioner, Ken Pullin details getting pulled over in Thomas, Georgia, for an expired car registration. He voices a significant "problem" with the policy allowing police cars to automatically scan vehicle tags and initiate stops when a driver is "not doing anything wrong". Ken argues that an expired car tag is a "civil issue" with the county government, not a "criminal issue" for law enforcement, especially when stopped in a different county. He equates this to his strong dislike for checkpoints, which he considers a "complete fourth amendment violation" if there's no probable cause to stop someone. He notes the car was his daughter's car and humorously anticipates the "walk of shame" to pay the late tag. • National Headlines & Candid Opinions: Nice Try Diddy: Discussion of Diddy being found guilty on only two "lowest charges" related to interstate prostitution, while being acquitted of racketeering (RICO) and sex trafficking. The hosts critique the defense's "victim shaming" approach and highlight the striking discrepancy in penalties between a victimless RICO charge (up to life in prison) and sex trafficking (20 years). Bryan Kohberger's Guilty Plea: An analysis of Bryan Kohberger's unexpected decision to plead guilty to all counts to avoid the death penalty, waiving all rights to appeal. "Alligator Alcatraz" / "Gator Jail": Delving into the controversial facility in the Florida Everglades for deported individuals. From a fiscal conservative standpoint, the hosts defend the facility as humane and fiscally responsible, contrasting it with previous practices. They also discuss the strategic "psychological operation" aspect of publicizing such a facility to deter illegal immigration. Geoff Duncan's Democratic Consideration: Analysis of former Republican Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan mulling a run for Georgia Governor as a Democrat. The hosts express skepticism about the Democratic party's acceptance of Duncan, suggesting his anti-Trump stance is the primary reason for current consideration. "No Wieners in Girls' Sports" & Lia Thomas: A deep dive into the reversal of medals and championships for men competing in women's sports, specifically referencing transgender swimmer Lia Thomas. The US Department of Education agreement requires stripping Lia Thomas of all her medals, restoring Division I records to female athletes, and sending personalized apology letters to each of those swimmers. The hosts emphasize comments from an affected swimmer asking for an "apology for making us undress in front of him". Massive Meth Seizure: The hosts discuss the seizure of "700 pounds of meth" hidden under cucumbers in Gainesville, Georgia, speculating on its Mexican origin. The "Big Expensive Bill": An in-depth look at the massive legislative bill that passed despite Republican control. Key aspects discussed include funding the border wall, cutting welfare for illegals, imposing work requirements for Medicaid recipients, and a significant increase in the deduction cap for State and Local Taxes (SALT) from $10,000 to $40,000 (a "gift to Democrat states"). The controversial "carve-out" for Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska to secure a Senate vote is also examined. Politician Antics: Comments on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' "silliest" eight-hour speech on the House floor, and Representative Nancy Mace's social media antics, including chronicling her drive to D.C. in her pajamas, leading to a discussion on politicians trying to be "social media influencers".   Other Noteworthy Segments: The tragic Texas flooding and missing children from Camp Mystic, debunking "erroneous information" spread by "influencers" like Beth Jackson, Donald Trump's "$200 fragrance" named "Fight, Fight, Fight", the attempted comeback of the Chi-Chi's Mexican restaurant chain (after a listeria outbreak), and Dave's 18th wedding anniversary.

The Muscogee Nation will assume some law enforcement duties in the city of Tulsa, Okla., when it comes to tribal citizens. The development over jurisdiction ends a federal lawsuit filed by the Muscogee Nation in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark McGirt decision in 2020. The Cherokee and Osage Nations also potentially have jurisdiction claims in Tulsa and other cities. Local law enforcement officials and Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt oppose the agreement, saying it creates a two-tiered system of justice. We'll find out what the new agreement solves and what it leaves unanswered. Also, tribes connected to Florida are speaking out against the Trump administration's fast track plans to establish a detention center for immigration actions near the Florida Everglades. Miccosukee and Seminole tribal officials and citizens say the center, dubbed the “Alligator Alcatraz,” infringes on land that is their “cultural, spiritual and historical identity.” GUESTS Betty Osceola (Miccosukee), environmental educator State Rep. Scott Fetgatter (Choctaw/R-OK 16) Robert Miller (Eastern Shawnee), law professor at Arizona State University and tribal judge Jason Salsman, press secretary for the Muscogee (Creek) Nation

   According to reports, Kansas has extended the STAR bonds that could be used by the Royals and Chiefs for new facilities.  Because of the way it was originally written, they could not extend it for a short time so they had to extend it for a full year.  What an embarrassment.    A columnist pens a perfect piece on why Sportsradio has declined in popularity in America, I'm sure you know I have some thoughts on this.    White boy Cooper Flagg, from Duke, is the top pick in the NBA Draft.  Will the NBA treat this superstar like they treat Caitlyn Clark in the WNBA?  He's playing in Dallas, no less.  These leagues have a choice to make.  Stick with all their traditional liberal hate and bias or embrace new faces for their league that make them uncomfortable.    Legendary coach Steve Spurrier was asked about Texas qb Arch Manning as the favorite for the Heisman this year and responded asking if he's so great, why didn't Texas do with Manning what K-State has done with Avery Johnson, who is 6 months younger.    In DC, the Joe Biden autopen scandal gets worse, the NY Mayor's race cancels a first date for a couple that exploded on social media and Alligator Alcatraz construction begins in the Florida Everglades.
