America was built on freedom of religion, freedom of speech and constitutional protections that distinguish it from much of the world. But what happens when those very freedoms are used by extremist movements that reject the principles on which the country was founded?In Episode 503 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew examines the threat posed by radical Islamic extremism and asks a difficult question: Has America's commitment to tolerance made it reluctant to confront ideologies that seek to undermine Western democratic values?Andrew distinguishes between the world's vast population of peaceful Muslims and the extremist organizations and movements he argues must be confronted. From ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood to the growing influence of foreign money and ideology within American institutions, he examines what he sees as a much larger battle over America's constitutional principles.The episode turns particular attention to American higher education and Northwestern University's relationship with Qatar. Andrew discusses claims surrounding hundreds of millions of dollars in Qatari funding, allegations of antisemitism on campus and concerns about the influence foreign governments and organizations may have on what American students are being taught.At the center of the discussion is a fundamental question: How does a free society defend freedom without allowing its own principles to be used against it?Andrew argues that protecting America's constitutional republic requires recognizing the difference between protecting individual religious liberty and ignoring extremist ideology—and he challenges peaceful Muslims to take a greater role in confronting radicalism within their own communities.Listen to Episode 503 of The Andrew Parker Show for Andrew's perspective on radical Islam, antisemitism, foreign influence in American universities and the responsibility of Americans to defend the constitutional principles that make the country free.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

Could a U.S. military intervention in Mexico actually happen—and what would it look like if it did? Ed Calderon joins the show and we break down the growing tension between the United States and Mexico, the strategic importance of northern Mexico's manufacturing base, and why a future conflict could extend far beyond the fight against cartels and fentanyl. The conversation explores the potential consequences of military intervention, including mass migration, border shutdowns, trade disruptions, economic shortages, and the possibility of cartel groups transforming into organized guerrilla forces using drones, IEDs, precision weapons, and other modern battlefield tactics. We also examine why Mexico could become an extremely difficult environment for a prolonged U.S. military campaign, how deeply interconnected Mexican and American communities are, and why recent operations against historically powerful cartel figures may signal a much larger geopolitical shift.

In this explosive segment, the host tackles newly declassified documents and federal action surrounding Eric Swalwell, Chinese spy connections, and foreign influence investigations.

Former CIA intelligence analyst and targeter Sarah Adams joins Tudor Dixon for a warning about foreign influence operations targeting American politics and elections. Adams breaks down what she describes as the growing alliance between Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Islamist political organizations, and political candidates—and explains why Americans should pay closer attention to the organizations, money, and influence networks operating behind campaigns. Tudor and Sarah examine concerns surrounding Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR Action, campus organizations, and the role social media influencers can play in amplifying foreign-backed narratives—sometimes without even realizing where the messaging originated. They also explore why Adams believes the threat isn't limited to the political left. Could similar influence operations fracture Republicans and conservatives by pushing voters toward third parties or convincing them to stay home? Plus, Adams reveals a stunning vulnerability inside Washington: congressional staffers aren't universally required to undergo background checks. She explains what she witnessed while working on Capitol Hill and why she believes Congress needs stronger counterintelligence safeguards. It's a wide-ranging conversation about foreign influence, election interference, political extremism, national security, and whether Americans recognize the threat before it becomes too powerful to ignore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ottawa's new foreign influence registry is now live, requiring anyone working on behalf of a foreign government or agency to influence Canadian politics to register within 60 days, but critics say the rules are both too broad and too toothless. Plus, Canada is sharply cutting back its UN peacekeeping commitments, withdrawing troops from missions in Congo, South Sudan, Cyprus, and Kosovo as NATO defence priorities take precedence over a core part of the country's foreign policy identity.And in The Big Picture: Moderna begins Canadian trials for a Bundibugyo Ebola vaccine, Canada-U.S. trade talks continue ahead of a tariff deadline, wildfires destroy hundreds of homes in B.C., Canadian VC firms do fewer but bigger deals, and Canada's trade surplus hits a four-year high.The Peak Daily is produced in partnership with reframevid.com

Third-party litigation funding has grown into a major part of modern civil litigation. Supporters argue it expands access to justice and helps under-resourced plaintiffs challenge powerful defendants. Critics argue it can distort litigation incentives, empower foreign or opaque funders, and undermine attorney-client control of litigation. As state legislatures and Congress consider restrictions and disclosure requirements, how should policymakers balance transparency, donor privacy, access to courts, national security, and attorney ethics? Is third-party litigation funding a threat to the integrity of the civil justice system that conservatives should rein in, or a market mechanism that conservatives should protect as a counterweight to institutional lawfare? Can the foreign-adversary money problem be severed from the broader regulatory question? Join us for a discussion of these and other issues surrounding the financing of litigation.

Hamilton, President, America First Legal FoundationPhil Goldberg, Partner, Shook, Hardy & Bacon, LLP[Moderator] Jim Wedeking, Counsel, Boyden Gray PLLC

Campaign donation limits look strict. Super PACs can make those limits feel almost meaningless. James Harrigan and Antony Davies join Josh Martens to debate who really controls American elections: donors, politicians, parties, or voters. How much does it cost to win a House or Senate seat? The Words and Numbers hosts explain individual contribution limits, candidate committees, political action committees, independent expenditures, and the unlimited spending available through super PACs. The conversation examines campaign finance, political incentives, the Thomas Massie race, outside spending, foreign influence, publicly funded elections, mandatory voting, gerrymandering, the Republican and Democratic duopoly, and the direct election of senators. The uncomfortable conclusion might be that campaign money is only a symptom. When government has enough power to sell favors, people will spend enormous amounts trying to control it. https://x.com/antonydavies https://x.com/JamesRHarrigan https://wordsandnumbers.org/ Chapters 00:00 James Harrigan and Antony Davies Join GML 02:00 The Thomas Massie Race and Outside Spending 03:30 What American Elections Really Cost 05:45 Campaign Money, Speech, and Property Rights 07:15 Are Voters Responsible for Selling Their Votes? 10:15 Unlimited Government and the Rise of Oligarchy 13:00 Donation Limits and the Super PAC Loophole 18:15 Political Spoils, Corporations, and Union Money 22:45 Libertarians Debate Public Election Funding 27:30 The Massie Race and Foreign Influence 31:15 Stupid Voters, Mandatory Voting, and the Party Duopoly 42:00 One Change That Could Fix American Elections Links Watch All Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr_8o0dDOX8DxO_Wwxu6WYhhA Watch Host Favorites: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr__Zu40RL7mWxCuOOe54zgy2 Join the Fed Haters Club @ https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub Join GML: https://joingml.com [Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/ All links @ gml.bio.link Subscribe to Good Morning Liberty, like the video, and tell us who deserves more blame: donors, politicians, or voters.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're taking a deeper look at the Israel-Iran conflict, the continuing questions surrounding the Epstein files, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We'll discuss why these stories continue to dominate public conversation, explore the political and geopolitical questions people are asking, and examine why these events should be viewed together rather than in isolation.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

TT: Foreign Influence In this episode the teenagers (Deven and Ethan) discuss Israel, Flock, War and Racism. They also talk about the following from Murray Rothbard: The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn't a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began. The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can't build the nuclear bomb they weren't building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn't start.  Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have. If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

What if the content you see online isn't as organic or random as it appears? In this discussion, the conversation explores how social media may be shaped by hidden forces, ranging from bots and coordinated influence campaigns to algorithmic amplification that can distort what looks popular, real, or widely agreed upon.

In our latest episode of the special series produced in partnership with the Journal of Democracy, we discuss the recent article by Ghia Nodia, entitled “Georgia: Between Democracy and Autocracy” (Journal of Democracy, Vol. 37, No.2, April 2026)Over the last couple of years, Georgia has frequently been in foreign news due to two related issues. Firstly, in 2024, the current Georgian government, after a failed initial attempt, has adopted the law “On Transparency of Foreign Influence,” thereby joining a global trend of countries adopting so-called “Foreign Agents Laws.” While facially claiming to protect a country against threats posed by foreign interference, such laws are often used by governments with authoritarian tendencies to suppress their country's civil society. The second related issue is the long protests of Georgian civil society against the authoritarian tendencies of the incumbent party, Georgian Dream. Georgia is known for its vibrant and active civil society, which has often shown its willingness to take to the streets and confront its government. In a recent article in the Journal of Democracy, Ghia Nodia analyzes the hybridity of the Georgian state resulting from these opposing tendencies and asks in which direction the country is headed: Democracy or Autocracy. Ghia Nodia is a professor of political science at Ilia State University and director of the Caucasus Institute for Peace, Democracy, and Development in Tbilisi, Georgia. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Democracy. In 2008, Prof. Nodia served as Georgia's Minister of Education and Science.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing what may be the most consequential political moment of Donald Trump's career. With Trump's approval ratings slipping, the Iran conflict escalating, renewed questions surrounding the Epstein files, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk continuing to reverberate through the conservative movement, many Americans are asking whether these events are isolated, or part of a much larger story.In this episode, I examine the connections I believe may exist between these developments, including my view that the Epstein files may have been used as leverage against powerful political figures and that foreign interests have exerted significant influence over American policy in the Middle East.We'll discuss:Trump's declining support among his baseThe growing controversy surrounding U.S. involvement with IranThe unanswered questions surrounding the Epstein filesThe political impact of Charlie Kirk's assassination and its aftermathWhy I believe these stories intersect in ways the mainstream media refuses to exploreMy goal is not to tell you what to think, but to encourage you to question narratives, follow incentives, and examine who benefits from the decisions being made in Washington.--https://www.bible.com/

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we discuss the political attacks surrounding Thomas Massie, growing concerns over foreign lobbying influence in American politics, and why millions of Americans feel their government no longer represents them.We also discuss the continued secrecy surrounding the Epstein case and why the American people are demanding full transparency, the complete unredacted Epstein files, and lawful accountability for every individual involved regardless of status or political connections.As corruption, manipulation, and moral decay continue spreading through powerful institutions, Americans must hold tightly to their God-given Constitutional rights, speak truth boldly, and refuse to surrender their freedoms out of fear.Truth matters. Justice matters. And no one should be above the law.--https://www.bible.com/
