Today on Joe Oltmann Untamed, We're fired up and diving straight into the cultural war that's tearing at the fabric of this country. We start with Yuri Bezmenov's chilling 1983 warning, useful idiots pushing Marxist agendas only to be crushed once the system they helped build takes full control. Look around schools, media, and culture are saturated with it. Social justice warriors are the foot soldiers, but history shows they're the first ones crushed when the revolution turns. We're living that warning right now.We expose the betrayal on our own side too—Milo calling out paid attacks on Candace Owens, leading to questioning motives, and the same old pattern of grifters and sellouts sowing confusion for a paycheck. Meanwhile, we've got LGBTQ influencers turning surrogate babies into clickbait content, trans surgeries exploding under Biden's watch, and a Wisconsin hearing where a “they/them/she/him” activist can't even keep pronouns straight. Add in Colorado's Rep. Ken DeGraaf correctly calls out a trans legislator as “Mr.” while the left screams discrimination it's all part of the same playbook to erode norms and punish anyone who dares speak the truth.This episode is a gut-check for every parent, patriot, and person who's sick of watching society normalize chaos. From Muslim prayer in classrooms to violent attacks on conservative kids, useful idiots parroting lies, and the slow destruction of basic decency, we're laying it all out. Tune in for the raw, no-holds-barred truth because if we don't call it what it is, we lose everything. You won't walk away the same.

In Denton, Texas 2008, a gay man named Richard Hernandez would disappear from his apartment. When police showed up for a welfare check to his apartment, they were horrified to see all the blood on the floor, walls and couch. But there was no body.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss whether Trump's State of the Union address effectively convinced voters to ignore the pain in their wallets because he says he's “winning” the economy, how the Supreme Court finally stood up to the president on something he really cares about, and the Pentagon's ominous ultimatum against AI company Anthropic.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss James Talarico, Jasmine Crockett, and what might happen in next week's consequential Texas Senate primary races. In the latest Gabfest Reads, John Dickerson talks with Father James Martin about his new book, Work in Progress: Confessions of a Busboy, Dishwasher, Caddy, Usher, Factory Worker, Bank Teller, Corporate Tool, and Priest. They discuss the spiritual lessons learned through eight different jobs, Martin's controversial LGBTQ ministry that made him a target of criticism within the Catholic Church, and what the Gospels demand about welcoming strangers and caring for the marginalized.

Commercial surrogacy has long been life-changing for LGBTQ+ and infertile couples wishing to have children. Even though the practice is banned or highly restricted in much of the rest of the world, the U.S. has no federal laws overseeing the practice. In a new investigation, New Yorker staff writer Ava Kofman exposes one Los Angeles couple that enlisted surrogate mothers for at least 25 children, all of whom are currently in foster care. California is considered a surrogacy stronghold within the $42 billion global fertility industry. We unpack why, and the reforms advocates want to see to improve the informed consent of both surrogates and intended parents — and to keep their children safe. Guests: Deborah Wald, certified family law specialist based in San Francisco Ava Kofman, staff writer, The New Yorker - her recent piece is “The Babies Kept in a Mysterious Los Angeles Mansion” Learn more about your ad choices.

The fictional TV show Heated Rivalry was an overnight sensation — raking in more than 10 million streams for each of its six episodes. It follows two rival professional hockey players, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosanov, whose public feud hides their secret, years-long romantic relationship. The show is fun, and it also raises a larger question: How welcoming is the NHL to LGBTQ athletes and fans?This week, we sit down with Harrison Browne, an actor on the show, and the first person ever to come out as trans in professional hockey. He tells us all about his role in Heated Rivalry, what it's like to come out and compete as a pro athlete, and whether he felt supported. We also hear from Julian McKenzie, an NHL staff writer at The Athletic, about the upcoming playoffs — and whether he thinks the buzz from the show could actually change the culture in the pros.Show Notes ‘Heated Rivalry' Easter Egg: This New Character Is Actual LGBTQ+ Hockey History | them Let Us Play | Harrison Browne, Rachel Browne ‘Heated Rivalry' inspired me to come out as gay | BBC The Truth About Trans Athletes in Sports with Harrison Browne Hit show ‘Heated Rivalry' became a TV phenomenon.

In this episode, Maddy Roche and Bri Conn, CFP®, explain why legal documents alone aren't enough. Estate plans grant authority. Care plans provide direction. They spell out the details that make real-world care possible: where to find your mailbox key, your alarm code, how to feed your pets, what medical history your doctors should know, and what living with dignity truly means to you.They also discuss documenting cultural or religious preferences and why these plans should be treated as living documents, updated as your life, relationships, and values evolve.Key Takeaways:Estate plans give the who, care plans give the how. Legal documents grant someone the power to make decisions. Care plans outline what those decisions should actually look like, from daily routines to end-of-life wishes.Document the everyday details others wouldn't know. Alarm codes, mailbox locations, pet feeding routines, storage facilities, and where to find important items are all critical for someone stepping into your life.Define what life with dignity means to you. Cultural preferences, religious practices, LGBTQ+ identity, and personal boundaries should be clearly stated so your wishes are honored, not someone else's assumptions.Build a team to support you as you age. Financial planners, doctors, and aging care managers all play a role in ensuring your care plan can actually be executed when you need it.Treat your care plan as a living document. Update it as your life changes. New pet, new home, new diagnosis, new preferences. The goal is to keep it current so it reflects who you are now.Episode Hosts:Maddy Roche - Chief Growth Officer at Childfree Trust® and responsible for all sales & marketing initiatives.Bri Conn, CFP® - Customer Experience Manager at Childfree Trust®.

Many of our political leaders invoke the Bible, but Rabbi Shai Held says many don't understand one of its most important commands. Rabbi Held argues that Scripture's call to love immigrants was a "moral revolution" and says the mistreatment of immigrants is an abomination in God's eyes. Skye interviews Father James Martin about his new memoir, "Work in Progress," about his journey from the business world to the priesthood. They also discuss the link between Jesuit spirituality and Protestant theology, and they get nerdy about Jesus and temple theology. Also this week—the rise of non-denoms, and Phil wants cornhole in the Olympics.   Holy Post Plus: James Martin Bonus Interview on LGBTQ and the Catholic Church: https://www.patreon.com/posts/151553201/   Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/151578635/   0:00 - Show Starts   2:15 - Theme Song   3:16 - Sponsor - Blueland - Get up to 15% off your first order by going to https://www.Blueland.com/HOLYPOST   4:23 - Sponsor - AG1 - Heavily researched, thoroughly purity-tested, and filled with stuff you need.

For decades, music videos weren't just promotional add‑ons…they were the beating heart of global pop culture.  The music video affected the art of movie-making...it affected the way we look at tv, not to mention fashion, language, politics, gender fluidity, LGBTQ issues, and so much more…videos may have altered our attention spans–which kind of concerns me because this program is an hour long and I need you to hang in there with me... Music videos exported soft power from the West, especially the United States, to the rest of the world. At one point, MTV was one of the most influential creators and disseminators of culture….and by “culture” I mean America. That was then…music videos are still an art form and still necessary (well, mostly necessary) for promoting music…but things just aren't what they used to be… How did we get to this point?...this is the rise and fall and future of the music video…part 1 Learn more about your ad choices.

“We can disagree and still love each other” is often framed as maturity or respect — but what happens when that disagreement puts real people at risk? In this episode, we confront how “just disagreeing” about LGBTQ+ lives, identities, and inclusion stops being neutral and starts becoming dangerous.We examine the real-world consequences of polite harm, the myth of neutrality, and the cost of silence when injustice is dressed up as belief or civility. This is a call to move beyond comfort and into responsibility — for families, allies, and anyone who claims to love LGBTQ+ people.Because love that refuses to protect is not love at all.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Angela Randall, a lesbian Latina from Donna, Texas, talks about her experience of coming out. She recounts growing up in a racially segregated valley, dealing with homophobia, and discovering her Black ancestry through an Ancestry DNA that connected her family's history to the Underground Railroad and a legal battle over land in South Padre Island. She also emphasizes the importance of the significance of family and community in her life, particularly in Dallas's LGBTQ+ scene. -Edited by: Amanda Ramirez 

Hosts Nino and Dr. Mikey welcome new Queer LBC en Español hosts Chelo Azul and Gio and dive into a round-up of urgent LGBTQ+ stories. Topics include the Netherlands' first openly gay prime minister, homophobic vandalism at a new stadium, a federal judge blocking Texas' ban on LGBTQ+ student clubs, the Pope's stance on church doctrine, and the worrying trend of U.S. gay bars closing — all discussed with sharp humor and community concern.

A Utah court is grappling with whether viral, graphic videos of Charlie Kirk’s killing could bias jurors in the murder trial of accused shooter Tyler Robinson. Defense attorneys argue the footage and intense media coverage threaten Robinson’s right to a fair trial, while legal experts warn that high‑profile exposure can shape juror perceptions before they ever enter the courtroom. Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing backlash on his national book tour, with Republicans accusing him of making racially insensitive remarks and LGBTQ+ lawmakers criticizing his call for Democrats to be more “culturally normal.” The tour for his new memoir has drawn both praise and controversy, testing Newsom’s national image as he positions himself as a potential 2028 presidential contender.

Grab your wigs and warm up your vocal cords, because this cult favorite is pure show-tune chaos.In this episode of No More Late Fees, Jackie and Danielle are joined by special guest Kyle Ridley to break down Connie and Carla, the campy, big-hearted musical comedy that blends Broadway dreams, drag performance, and found family energy.

From the publisher: "Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history—and what the unsung heroes of social movements past can teach us about navigating our chaotic worldIn this timely new book in Beacon's successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples' resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today's climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall expands how to think about protest through sharing select historical moments and revealing the role of key players involved in those efforts.Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, government documents and secondary sources, A Protest History of the United States gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those examples of protest include those of Wahunsenacock, more commonly known to history as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali's refusal to fight in Vietnam and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018.Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that not only is dissent meaningful and impactful but is an essential tool for eliciting long lasting change."Gloria Browne-Marshall's website can be found here: https://www.browne-marshall23.com/Information on Gloria Browne-Marshall's book can be found here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/770181/a-protest-history-of-the-united-states-by-gloria-j-browne-marshall/Gloria Browne-Marshall is on social media here: https://www.instagram.com/gbrownemarshall/?hl=enAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

In this focused segment from Episode #1161 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards celebrates American excellence on Testosterone Tuesday with Team USA Hockey's gold medal triumph over Canada—their first since the iconic 1980 Miracle on Ice. Clay spotlights the badassery of players like Jack Hughes, who posed with the gold medal in his mouth despite broken teeth (not from biting it, but hey, it's a great story for the grandkids). He shares the epic locker room vibes, including Kash Patel chugging beers, a congratulatory phone call from President Trump praising the team's performance, and an invite to the State of the Union address—complete with promises of medals and fun at the White House (women's team included, boss's orders).   Clay plays clips of players like Matthew Tkachuk calling Trump the "ultimate president" for his support of all U.S. athletes, and Jack Hughes reflecting on leaving USA Hockey in a better place for future stars, proving he's no Democrat with his "leave it better than you found it" mindset. Though Clay admits he didn't watch a second of the Olympics—labeling them the "transgender LGBTQ rainbow supremacy Olympics"—he still roots for America, arguing nothing upsets the rainbow supremacists more than MAGA support. He revels in the liberal meltdowns, from media outrage over the Trump call and locker room patriotism to headlines like the Huffington Post questioning if the American flag turns people off.   The women's team also snagged gold (though they're skipping the White House), and Clay notes the sweeter taste of victory amid the backlash. Tune in for Clay's pumped-up, unfiltered take on patriotic wins, liberal hypocrisy, and why this gold slays the "North Mexico" dragon!

The Statehouse funneled down bills being considered last week with their first major deadline. Reporters Erin Murphy, Katarina Sostaric and Robin Opsahl share the bills that are still alive — from expanding a ban on LGBTQ+ topics in schools to limiting the governor's power — and those that died.

Not to sound conspiratorial or whatever, but Big Tech doesn't want us to talk about sex on social media. But it's not just sex, and specifically pleasure, that's not allowed. Women's health content, LGBTQ+ issues, and sexual wellbeing is also not allowed – especially not when it's posted by marginalised community.So let's get into it: in this episode we paint a picture of the breadth of digital suppression, and why exactly we all need to be talking about it more. We speak to co-founder of campaign group CensHERship, Clio Wood, about what's happening to women's health content creators, as well as Kalila Bolton, co-founder of sexual wellness and education platform SheSpot, and Amari, a sex coach and virtual assistant, about their experience with having their accounts shadowbanned or paid ads removed.We look at why this censorship is happening and its impact, and ask porn historian Noelle Perdue whether legislating against sexual content online is the most effective approach.Thanks for tuning in, if you enjoy the episode please leave us a review wherever you're listening!

This Day in Legal History: Marbury v. MadisonOn February 24, 1803, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Marbury v. Madison, a case that permanently reshaped American constitutional law. The dispute arose after President John Adams appointed several “midnight judges” in the final hours of his administration. One of those appointees, William Marbury, never received his commission because it was not delivered before Thomas Jefferson took office. Jefferson instructed his Secretary of State, James Madison, not to deliver the commission, prompting Marbury to seek relief directly from the Supreme Court.Presiding over the case was Chief Justice John Marshall, whose involvement added a striking layer of irony. Before becoming Chief Justice, Marshall had served as Secretary of State under Adams and had been responsible for sealing the very commissions at issue. In other words, Marshall was now reviewing the legal consequences of actions taken by his former office. Rather than recuse himself, he authored the opinion that would define the Court's authority.Marshall concluded that Marbury had a legal right to his commission but held that the statute granting the Supreme Court power to issue writs of mandamus conflicted with Article III of the Constitution. Because the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, Marshall reasoned, any conflicting statute must be void. In declaring part of the Judiciary Act of 1789 unconstitutional, the Court asserted the power of judicial review for the first time.The decision simultaneously denied Marbury his remedy while expanding the Court's institutional authority. It avoided a direct political confrontation with Jefferson while firmly establishing the judiciary as a co-equal branch of government. What began as a minor political dispute over an undelivered commission became the foundation for the Supreme Court's power to strike down unconstitutional laws.A federal judge has permanently blocked the Justice Department from releasing a prosecutor's report concerning the classified documents case against President Donald Trump. The ruling was issued by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who concluded that making the report public would amount to a “manifest injustice” because the case never went to trial. She reasoned that publishing detailed allegations of criminal conduct without a jury verdict would undermine basic fairness principles.The case had been brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith and accused Trump of unlawfully retaining sensitive national defense materials at his Mar-a-Lago property and obstructing government efforts to recover them. Trump and his co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, pleaded not guilty and described the prosecution as politically motivated. In 2024, Cannon dismissed the charges, finding that Smith had not been lawfully appointed.After Trump returned to office, the Justice Department supported efforts to keep the report confidential. Although special counsels are typically required to submit reports explaining their charging decisions, Cannon held that releasing this one would conflict with her earlier rulings, including her determination that Smith's appointment was invalid. She also cited concerns about exposing grand jury material.The decision prevents public disclosure of substantial details about one of the four criminal cases Trump faced after leaving office. It follows the Supreme Court's recent decision limiting Trump's tariff authority and marks another significant legal development in the ongoing disputes surrounding his post-presidency investigations.US judge permanently blocks release of report on Trump documents case | ReutersThe chief judges of two major federal appeals courts have announced plans to step back from active service later this year, creating new vacancies for President Donald Trump to fill. Debra Ann Livingston of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and Jeffrey Sutton of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit both notified the president that they intend to take senior status. Livingston plans to assume senior status on July 1, while Sutton will do so on October 1.Their decisions come ahead of the November midterm elections, when control of the U.S. Senate could shift, potentially complicating confirmation of successors. Because judicial vacancies have been relatively scarce during Trump's second term, the openings present an opportunity to expand his appellate appointments. During his first term, Trump appointed 54 appellate judges, significantly influencing the judiciary's ideological direction.Both judges were originally appointed by President George W. Bush. Livingston, who has served on the Second Circuit since 2007 and became chief judge in 2020, has at times issued notable dissents, including in cases involving LGBTQ workplace protections and congressional subpoenas tied to Trump's business records. Sutton, on the Sixth Circuit since 2003 and chief judge since 2021, has been an influential conservative jurist. He authored a 2014 opinion upholding same-sex marriage bans that the Supreme Court later overturned in Obergefell v. Hodges.Senior status allows eligible judges to continue hearing cases on a reduced basis while enabling the president to nominate full-time replacements. Their departures will hand Trump two high-profile appellate vacancies at a time when few others are available.Two chief US appellate judges to leave active service, handing Trump vacancies | ReutersIn my weekly column for Bloomberg Tax, I examine the Trump administration's proposed 0.125% “land port maintenance tax” and question whether it is truly infrastructure policy or contingency planning after the Supreme Court curtailed its tariff authority. The proposal is framed as a parity measure to mirror the Harbor Maintenance Fee, but I argue the timing is hard to ignore. Just this week, the Court in Learning Resources Inc. v. Trump held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose tariffs, reaffirming that Congress controls taxing power absent clear delegation. In my view, that ruling narrows executive trade authority and invites efforts to find alternative mechanisms embedded elsewhere in the customs code.I suggest the land port tax looks like one such alternative. Although labeled a “maintenance” fee, it would be imposed at the border and function economically like a tariff, with costs passed to US importers and consumers. Because most land-based trade flows through Canada and Mexico, I note that the charge would operate in practice as a North American supply chain tax. Calling it infrastructure policy does not change its price effects.I also argue that the Harbor Maintenance Fee analogy falls apart on inspection. Whatever its flaws, the HMF at least carries a user-fee logic tied to dredging and port upkeep. By contrast, the new proposal appears loosely connected to land-border infrastructure and bundled within a broader maritime industrial policy agenda. If shipbuilding is a national security priority, I contend Congress should fund it transparently through the Defense Department and regular appropriations. If the HMF distorts shipping routes, it should be reformed directly rather than replicated inland.Ultimately, I maintain that after Learning Resources, any border charge that operates like a tariff will face legal skepticism. If policymakers intend to subsidize maritime industry, they should say so clearly, define measurable goals, and subject the costs to democratic accountability. This is a public episode.

Does your anxiety or depression symptoms keep you from sleeping? Or maybe you are looking for the drowsy professor type voice that knocks you out.  The Deeply Unimportant podcast might be what you are looking for. Sometimes you need a specific type of voice to put you into the sleep zone.   Once upon a time there was a guy named Terrance McKenna. Very deep into psychoactive plants, mushrooms and alternative waves of being.   I didn't really understand what he was talking about. Not a clue. This was a good thing because within 15 minutes of listening to him I was asleep. Again, I didn't not understand anything. I just knew that if he was on the radio, I was going to be able to go to sleep. These days, I need something more "boring" than Mr. McKenna. No disrespect to Terrance. For those on his wave length he was the man. Now days, we have a lot of options from ASMR to stories but for me, Deeply Uniportant cuts through the mind yapping and slides me into sleepy town.  Resources Mentioned:  The main website is https://deeplyunimportant.com.
