One simple question stops them from stepping in the dog crap with their open-toed shoes: Why didn't the Biden administration release the information if there was dirt on Trump?So that will be a FUN show, as we showcase just how desperate Democrats were in 2025. And now the carryover. Wow, is the word that comes to mind as we watch Democrats implode.They are DOGEing themselves.New Hampshire banned sanctuary cities. Why is this necessary?MN are now making videos asking, “Where are the kids?” The Democrats have activated Conservative citizen journalists around the country to look into their frauds. And this won't end well for Democrats, Somalis, or Ilhan Omar.Recall when I told you that when President Trump calls somebody out by name, the future is set. He did this with Ilhan Omar.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

DOGE flashback: A DOGE audit at the Congressionally funded US Institute of Peace, revealed that an external accounting firm had deleted more than 1TB of financial records to conceal hundreds of thousands of dollars in private jet travel by the institute's leadership moments before the DOGE takeover. Big Balls recovered the data, revealing $13 million quietly shifted into a private endowment for travel & events.

In this episode, Kelsi Sheren discusses the implications of recent Canadian legislation, particularly Bill C-11 and Bill C-9, which aim to regulate online speech and hate crimes. She critiques the government's approach to censorship, arguing that it undermines free speech and leads to a culture of fear and self-censorship. The conversation highlights the dangers of equating words with violence and the potential consequences for society if these laws are enacted.00:00 Introduction to the Conversation01:57 Understanding Bill C-11 and C-912:08 The Implications of Hate Speech Legislation18:01 Cultural Consequences of Censorship - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok -   https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

On Sept. 10, 2025, political activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University. The very next month, Greg Lukianoff gave a lecture there, about why free speech is an antidote to violence.

Trump's arc is infinitely more dramatic.He was targeted, surveilled, investigated, impeached, indicted, financially strangled, nearly imprisoned, and nearly assassinated. Then he came back.By Hollywood's own standards, Trump should be the hero of the decade. The outsider who refused to break. The figure who endured institutional hatred and emerged stronger. The comeback story that defines an era.Now we are in Trump's second term, and denial is collapsing under the weight of outcomes.This is no longer theoretical. It's happening in real time.Millions of illegal immigrants have been removed, immediately freeing resources for citizens and lawful residents.President Trump has stripped Democrats down to the bone. What I'd like to highlight is some of the things that we have had to face with Leftism.

I'm going to issue an announcement on 2026 that I believe Leftists will hear and heed. But first I want to develop this more using our supposed rifts.It won't be Carlson or Owens who shape this party. It will be Trump.

From massive taxpayer fraud to global energy dominance, today's episode exposes the hidden stories the mainstream won't cover.

From Venezuelan oil to social media freedom, this episode dives deep into the intersection of geopolitics, media censorship, and billion-dollar frauds.

As It Turns Out, President Trump Took Out Maduro – And Perhaps a Somali Warlord in MinnesotaYeah, that's right – Trump bags the big bad Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in a ballsy midnight raid on January 3, 2026, hauls him and his wife straight to New York for those long-overdue narco-terrorism charges. Blindfolded, handcuffed, perp-walked like a common cartel thug. Trump watches the whole thing live from Mar-a-Lago, probably with a Diet Coke in hand, grinning ear to ear. Victory lap complete.And just two days later? Boom – Tim Walz, Minnesota's own homegrown warlord presiding over a fraud empire that makes Maduro's schemes look like pocket change, suddenly "decides" he's not running for reelection. Coincidence? Please. The guy's staring down a tidal wave of investigations into billions vanished from child nutrition, autism programs, housing, and those ghostly childcare centers. Walz bails faster than a rat off a sinking ship, citing he can't "fully commit" – translation: the feds are closing in, and an indictment would make campaigning awkward.This isn't oversight failure; it's a full-blown Somali-linked grift network thriving under Walz's watch. Feeding Our Future alone: $250+ million stolen, dozens convicted, mostly Somali defendants turning relief funds into luxury cars and wire transfers. Then the childcare explosion – empty buildings raking in millions, viral videos exposing the scam, feds freezing funds and surging agents into Minneapolis. And who's in the mix? Keith Ellison, the AG who allegedly had to personally sign off on fraud probes – talk about a bottleneck designed for bottlenecks. Ilhan Omar, queen of the district where it all went down, with fraudsters mysteriously donating to her campaigns. Ties? Mountains of circumstantial smoke, and where there's smoke, indictments are usually cooking.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trump set the trap on Venezuela and Democrats are ensnared in it. These buttclowns all spoke against Maduro under Biden, but now that Trump has acted, they are now in support of the narco-terrorist. Astroturfed protests can't outnumber the real demonstrations celebrating Venezuela's potential return to normalcy. But what's really behind this bold move by Trump? Lots more, that's for sur. And you can bet that certain Leftist factions join America's Left is hating what Trump did, and with good reason...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Five years after January 6, Todd Huff sits down with Dan Morrissey to tell a story the media never wanted you to hear. Dan shares his firsthand account of walking into the U.S. Capitol, what he saw that day, and the shocking legal nightmare that followed. From being swatted at airports and labeled a terrorist to exposing alleged prosecutorial misconduct and rejecting a presidential pardon, Dan's experience raises serious questions about due process, justice, and the weaponization of government power. This is not a rehash of headlines — it's a personal, detailed account of how January 6 changed one man's life and what it reveals about the American legal system today. A must-listen conversation on truth, accountability, and Patriots Day.

In National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) v. Federal Election Commission (FEC) the Court is set to consider “whether the limits on coordinated party expenditures in 52 U.S.C. § 30116 violate the First Amendment, either on their face or as applied to party spending in connection with "party coordinated communications" as defined in 11 C.F.R. § 109.37.”.The case kicked off in 2022 when two Republican party committees brought suit against the FEC in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. They contended the 1971 Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) imposed unconstitutional restrictions on their capacity to coordinate campaign advertising with candidates, and that FEC v. Colorado Republican Federal Campaign Committee (2001) which had upheld the restrictions as constitutional, had been made unsound by developments in law, facts, and precedent in the intervening time.As required by FECA for constitutional challenges, the district court certified the legal question to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit sitting en banc which upheld FECA. The Supreme Court granted cert. and Oral Argument is set to be heard on December 9, 2025.Join us for an expert breakdown of oral arguments.Featuring:Brett Nolan, Senior Attorney, Institute for Free Speech

Why Can't Britain Be More Like Hungary? | Starmer's Brexit Betrayal EXPOSED #Brexit #UKPolitics #Starmer #Hungary #ViktorOrban #FreeSpeech #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #LIVE Tonight, we ask a simple but urgent question: Why can't Britain protect its borders like Hungary does? While Keir Starmer cosies up to the EU and signals a clear desire to drag Britain back into their orbit, the UK's borders remain wide open — despite the clear democratic mandate of Brexit. Hungary proves it doesn't have to be this way. Under Viktor Orbán, Hungary has made its position crystal clear: ❌ No migrant camps ❌ No forced relocation ❌ No weakened borders ❌ No becoming a country of mass immigration As a result, there were fewer than 1,000 illegal entry attempts. What's even more striking? Hungary is still in the EU — and even in Schengen. Orbán has openly warned: "European democracy is in decline. Elections rerun, parties surveilled, candidates blocked, leaders punished for defending borders, free speech sanctioned. Hungary chooses competition over bans and sovereignty over centralised control. That's what democracy looks like. Come and see for yourself." So why won't Starmer listen? Instead of ignoring and betraying the British public, Starmer should take up Viktor Orbán's challenge — and follow Hungary's lead on borders, sovereignty, and democratic accountability.

Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly If you're like 84% of Americans, you think self-censorship and cancel culture are serious issues. You may feel like you're not free to speak your mind, or you worry that you'll be alienated for expressing your opinions. This can lead to self-censorship and feeling like people don't know the authentic, real you. In Can I Say That?, Dr. Chloe Carmichael, USA Today bestselling author of Nervous Energy, explains why and how to escape this cycle of anxiety and avoidance and start embracing our diversity of viewpoints. She unpacks the science behind open dialogue and why it's essential to the cognitive and emotional processes that create wellness. Dr. Chloe also offers simple, conversational techniques to help you express yourself freely, listen resiliently, and navigate socially or emotionally charged conversations authentically with quiet confidence. We can talk to each other again and not tiptoe around tough topics. We can reconnect with family, friends and neighbors to enjoy respectful, meaningful conversations. We can disagree safely and productively—our mental health, social relationships, and even our democracy depend upon it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This is raw, unfiltered journalism at work

This weekend brought a journalism shockwave like nothing we've ever seen

It didn't take long. But after getting his ass kicked on the world stage, guess who now wanted to talk to President Trump?No, not a legacy media anchor looking for redemption. Not a Hollywood celebrity trying to crawl back into relevance. Not even a European bureaucrat clutching a briefing binder and a therapy animal.It's Venezuelan narco-terrorists, Nicolás Maduro. The former president of Venezuela has been captured.Yes, that Maduro. The Venezuelan strongman and heir to Hugo Chávez's socialist wreckage. The man who turned one of the richest oil nations on Earth into a humanitarian crisis with a national anthem. Maduro now wants a sit-down with Donald J. Trump, the same president Democrats once swore would start World War III by accident, possibly via tweet, while eating a Big Mac.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Maduro captured.I marvel at how methodical President Trump has been in dismantling the evil Democrats, and how he has Republicans winning the short game, while positioning the long game. And I will tie all this to what's happening with Venezuela and Maduro in this broadcast. The best example is how he stopped illegal immigration. You've heard me talk about this, but it bears repeating. Trump did what Democrats knew could be done, but pretended could be done. He closed the border. Consider the optics of this. While Democrats encouraged millions to invade America, and gave all kinds of excuses for doing so, Trump just stopped it. In its tracks. That's the short game.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Consider the president's attack on Leftism, indirectly he is addressing the drug problem. Particularly when you consider that 2.1 Democrats left the party during the Biden years. I see that as a Trump intervention that ultimately added 2.5 million new Republicans during the same period.To be a Democrats, you almost have to be on a psychotic drug, a hallucinogen. Because along with the most insane policy positions, Democrats want their supporters to believe blatant lies.https://www.turkiyetoday.com/world/russia-evacuates-diplomats-families-from-venezuela-as-us-seizes-oil-tankers-3211754?s=1Russia's Foreign Ministry has begun evacuating the families of diplomats from Venezuela, a European intelligence official told AP on Monday, as the United States pursues its third sanctioned oil tanker in the Caribbean and President Donald Trump convenes senior national security officials at his Mar-a-Lago resort.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How is faith, a gift a God given by grace, related to our hearing the Word of God?

Christians in Nigeria have been asking for help for over a decade, yet their country did nothing. And nobody expected the worthless Obama and Biden administrations to step up.Oh the irony that the man Democrats have deemed the Nth coming of Hitler would dare protect Black people in Nigeria. Leave it to President Trump to get Nigeria to finally come to the table and allow the U.S. to protect Christians. Understand that allowing Islam to grow and fester is tantamount to destroying Christianity. Let's hope that President Trump's decisive actions cause other governments to take a harder look at Islam and the radicals who practice it. All countries can take lessons from Poland, Japan, and even China in their dealings with radical Muslims.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We know that Democrats have made a business of ripping off the government.Care to guess how much money we've lost over two decades since Obama was president? Remember, we doubled our national debt. Now you get an idea where all that money went. While Black Americans scream for reparations, you have Somalians getting PAID. Why haven't Black Americans revolted against Sharpton, Jackson, and the other Black pimps?The Somalis have ONE Congressional rep, and they are getting BILLIONS from Tim Walz, and those lily-white Minnesotans.https://x.com/GrageDustin/status/2004931845251825881Minnesota's largest paper just released its Year in Review.Not a single mention of the fraud consuming our state.

In Episode 70 of Geopolitics with Ghost, Ghost opens the first show of 2026 by surveying an increasingly crowded global battlefield, where information warfare, speech control, and geopolitical maneuvering collide. The episode centers on a viral CNBC clip featuring Israeli billionaire Shlomo Kramer calling for limits on the First Amendment through AI-driven control of online platforms, which Ghost uses as a springboard to examine broader efforts to manage speech and perception worldwide. From there, the discussion expands into Israel's founding ethos, collectivism versus individual liberty, and statements by Benjamin Netanyahu regarding unity, influence operations, and control of social media as a modern weapon of war. Ghost connects these themes to developments involving the ADL, international legislation, and U.S. government officials tasked with monitoring global discourse. The episode then pivots outward to Iran, Venezuela, Africa, and the Horn of Africa, weaving together sanctions, protests, resource conflicts, and trade routes to illustrate how power, economics, and narrative control intersect in the current global order.

Thompson stated, “They're essentially shell companies created to defraud the program created to submit on a wholesale level, fraudulent claims for services that aren't necessary and are not provided. It's been allowed to go on for far too long, and we need to do whatever we can to stop it in its tracks.”Investigators said large sums were sent overseas, primarily to Kenya, often to purchase real estate. Thompson said some defendants came from outside Minnesota after learning of the state's housing programs' vulnerabilities.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“For only $396,164 tax dollars a day, you can help support an imaginary child at a Somalian daycare center”.America got another wake up call. The alarm has sounded many times. Like the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. A mass migration of Democrats happened shortly thereafter. He got elected, and the threats continued until they got Charlie Kirk. That was a wake-up call for many, and again thousands of Democrats left their party.Now we get this explosive scandal with multiple nationalities of immigrants, but specifically the Somalis.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The countries within the EU and the U.K. have dealt with overwhelming censorship for decades now, is an all out assault on free speech coming to America? In the United Kingdom, 30 people are arrested every day for social media posts, retweets or even cartoons. Michael Shellenberger has been monitoring this dangerous trend and recently spoke to the EU Parliament. A very unpopular group of European leaders don't like when they see dissenting voices on the internet. Shellenberger describes a system in which the EU appoints so-called “trusted flaggers” – NGOs and academics who receive special access to the platforms' data in order to identify content that is to be removed. While President Trump has defunded a lot of the censorship taking place under Biden, this global censorship campaign has its sights set on America next. President Trump signed an executive order to move marijuana from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3, allowing medical research to be done for cannibodial medical purposes. Dr Oz is here today to discuss what this means for patients in pain or suffering from PTSD. As administrator of the Center for Medicaid and Medicare services, Dr Oz has already blocked fraudsters trying to scam Medicare. There are many sophisticated operations, including foreign governments that are attacking and defrauding Obamacare. As President Trump secured a victory in prescription drug pricing, Dr Oz is optimistic about getting real healthcare reform for American citizens.

I feel compelled to speak today. I contemplated rebroadcasting last year's show, because it was so poignant. We had just gotten Trump re-elected and I was jubilant, as were many of you. And then we had what has to be the greatest year in politics in my lifetime.Never, repeat NEVER have we had so much leverage over Democrats. They created every problem they currently face, and they have many.I'd like to focus today's show on what's coming. Because we reflected on what happened last year, and I'm sure we will continue to flashback, so as not to forget history. But now we must start codifying our wins from last year.Before I get into our wins and tell you what I think will be the biggest story of 2026, I want to begin with OUR resolutions.I made the resolution last year to fight like a cornered jaguar for the next 4 years, so I'm in Year 2 of that resolution.Did you make any resolutions that you lived up to?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Americans will not have a better year than 2026, at least until 2027. How about that 2025! Remember how happy we were knowing that the New Year would bring President-elect Trump's 2nd term? What a thrill. We reflect on that and the leftist craziness that was to ensue.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This year, Bari Weiss became the new editor in chief of CBS News. The network's owner, Paramount, also acquired Weiss' online publication, The Free Press, for an estimated $150 million. And unconventionally for a news executive, Weiss appeared in front of the camera in December when she hosted a town hall with Erika Kirk. This week, we're revisiting a conversation with Peter Shamshiri, co-host of the podcast If Books Could Kill, about Weiss's rapid rise. On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

[REBROADCAST FROM Oct 3, 2025] Director Kim A. Snyder discusses her new documentary called "The Librarians," which explores the role of libraries and the people who run them in today's politically fraught atmosphere. Focusing on librarians in Texas, responding to efforts to ban books about race and the LGBTQIA+ experience, the film illuminates a key angle in the conflict over access to information and art, and library patrons' so-called 'freedom to read.' Plus, New Jersey librarian Martha Hickson, who is featured in the film, shares her experiences and insights.
