I dare Leftists to hit PAUSE for just a beat and look at Trump's character as compared to themselves. Take the BEST of them, and compare to Trump.Right now, the character issue is that Trump's family continues making money. That his kids are on the boards of companies. Shocker: the children of a self-made billionaire, none of whom are crackheads cutting illegal deals with the Chinese, are on Boards. And they have thriving businesses, which all of them had PRIOR to Trump being in office. Compare these kids to Hunter Biden. Or any other kids of presidents.Trump OWNS the Democrats in character. Do you want a list of Leftist rogues? Because you should grab lunch, and sit back if you want me to read you that list.Gavin Newsom sits on top, presently. And with good reason. And what of his aunt, Nancy Pelosi? What of Ilhan Omar and the MN gang of thieves?Name me your Democrat-controlled state of city and I will give you a list of rogues, and all the names will be Democrats in leadership.Simply put: conservatism equals character. Trump has more character in his pinky fingernail than all of the Democrats combined.Remember what they decided to judge his character on. The statement that some women are so enthralled with rich, powerful men, they will allow those men to “grab ‘em by the hoohah”. I know! The NERVE of Trump speaking the truth about how some women behave. There is not a man on Earth who hasn't said or thought the same. Nor is there a woman on Earth who hasn't thought or ALLOWED it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Kevin Jackson Show—where the news doesn't just break, it gets body-slammed and asked if it wants to tap out. Democrats lost as last year's Easter eggs.No viable 2028 candidate. Midterms shaping up to be a bloodbath. And somewhere in the distance, you can hear consultants whispering, “Maybe we should've spent less time calling voters Nazis and more time, I don't know, finding someone normal.” I saw a poll that claims Democrats are 5 points ahead of Republicans for the midterms.PROVE IT![X] SB – Gavin NewsomDigging through years of random documents. How ‘bout Iran?Oil prices kissing $80 a barrel and your wallet feeling Publisher's Clearinghouse just showed up the pump with your CHECK!Speaking of messes, the fraud cleanup aisle is open for business.Folks are actually calling for Ilhan Omar to get deported. She got so heated about Brandon Gill's petition that she allegedly got in his face and let the profanity fly. Gill, cooler than the other side of the pillow, hit her with: “Do you kiss your brother with that mouth?” Legend. Down the barrel we go: Mohsen Mahdawi, the guy who helped lead those charming pro-Palestinian riots at Columbia, just got ordered deported back to Jordan. Turns out consequences are back on the menu. Meanwhile, over in Ireland, a man nearly got beheaded in Belfast. Leave it to our enlightened American leftists to show class. Rapper Azealia Banks looked at the victim, Stephen Ogilvie, and tweeted something like, “Sheeesh, this MF is so ugly I think the Sudanese guy did him a favor.” Does she kiss her brother with that mouth?And because nothing says “merit-based immigration” like fake credentials, India-born Sriram Krishnan—Senior Policy Advisor on Artificial Intelligence—is voluntarily bouncing after it turns out he bought his degree like it was a term paper on Craigslist. Entered on a visa, worked at Microsoft… now exiting stage left. Who could've seen this coming besides everyone with functioning eyes?

Cathy Young returns to the show for a wide-ranging conversation about free speech, institutional trust, and the strange incentives shaping public debate today. What happens when universities, media outlets, political movements, and online personalities trade careful thinking for moral certainty, tribal loyalty, or attention? Michael and Cathy discuss the pressure to excuse bad ideas when they come from "your side," the rise of activist thinking in education and journalism, and the growing appeal of contrarian figures who seem to thrive on distrust. They also get into the war in Ukraine, Israel and Gaza, Iran, isolationism, and why defending open inquiry matters most when it becomes inconvenient.

A storm was perched over DC for Fight Night. And just like that, the storm went around DC as if commanded by God Himself…The UFC event at the WH was spectacular. It was like the Super Bowl of fighting, and the commercials alone were worth the price of admission. The UFC event at the White House was spectacular—Super Bowl of striking and grappling, where the commercials alone delivered more knockout value than most fight cards. I read this tweet about the event:Remember when Obama joked that Donald Trump would never be President and Trump hit back by strategically dismantling the entire Democratic Party over a 10 year period culminating with a UFC Fighter announcing that Michele Obama is a man.And how about that Marine Corps BAND! Super Bowl of elbows and egos, where even the commercials could knock you out. And that Marine Corps Band? They didn't just play—they dropped the national anthem like it owed them money. And they played all the music, and truly shocked me with how good they were.I won't spend a lot of time on this, but I will say that watching fighters showcase their abilities and sportsmanship was something to behold.It was a toxic masculinity extravaganza. And every one of the fighters thanked President Trump for the event.I felt like it was Roman times without all the death and sex.Shout out to the new Secret Service too. Not one single “mysterious” incident where Democrats could try their annual tradition. Smooth, professional, and apparently allergic to letting history rhyme. Refreshing.Speaking of Leftists, let's take a breath and examine the exquisite contradictions of the modern Left.

[X] SB – AOC says Trumpism makes boys unhappyBummed that the right wing is dooming boys. Conditioning men into loneliness…I want to interject on the Musk valuation, by covering this little story about Iran…You have to love watching Leftists suddenly discover reality.For months, maybe years, they have been predicting Donald Trump's foreign policy collapse the way doomsday cults predict the end of the world. Every deadline comes and goes, every prediction explodes on the launch pad, and yet they simply grab a new calendar and start over."Trump is going to get us into a war!""Trump has no strategy!""Iran has him cornered!"Really? Cornered?That's an interesting description of a country whose navy got turned into an artificial reef.A country whose air force became a museum exhibit.A country whose military leadership was reduced so dramatically that LinkedIn probably started suggesting openings for "Supreme Commander."Iran wasn't negotiating from a position of strength. Iran was negotiating from a position somewhere between bankruptcy court and a yard sale.Think about what happened.Their military capability was shattered.Their weapons manufacturing was crippled.Their leadership was decimated.Their economy was flattened.Their currency became about as valuable as a Hollywood pledge to move to Canada.Their oil revenue was squeezed.Their access to money was restricted.Their frozen assets remained frozen.And somehow Democrats kept talking as if Iran was the one holding leverage.That's like watching a boxer get knocked down twelve times and then hearing the commentators say, "The interesting question is whether the undefeated champion can survive this."Survive what? The gentle breeze?According to a media briefing with senior administration officials, the memorandum of understanding that has now been signed boils down to one simple concept:Behave like a normal country and we'll treat you like a normal country.Imagine that.Not exactly the sophisticated diplomatic framework envisioned by the foreign policy geniuses who brought us pallets of cash and strongly worded letters.The administration's message was remarkably straightforward.The Strait of Hormuz remains open.Verification comes before benefits.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Let's take a breath and examine the exquisite contradictions of the modern Left. These are the people warning that your carbon footprint will murder the planet in a slow apocalyptic bake. The same ones who unleashed a virus, weaponized the panic, and turned it into the perfect mechanism for election interference and pharmaceutical windfalls. Precision timing, wasn't it? ICE just pulled 700,000 violent criminals off American streets. Actual predators with rap sheets longer than most congressional careers. Democrats' response? Defund the agency immediately. Because apparently the real public safety threat is the people removing the threats. They came within striking distance of nominating an actual Nazi for Senate in Maine. Not hyperbole, not online slang — the real article. Yet we're still lectured daily about which side endangers democracy. In Los Angeles, the mayor's race looks like it was decided with the same creative bookkeeping that defines their national playbook. The frontrunner presided over burning streets and an exploding homelessness crisis she swore she would fix. Now Spencer Pratt claims he's holding audio receipts that could expose the entire operation. Democrats treat clean elections the way vampires treat sunlight — they'll do anything to keep it away. Cheating isn't a tactic for them. It's the default setting. And the Trump contortions remain comedy gold. The man who struck Iran's nuclear ambitions, collapsed their economy, and left them economically gasping is now portrayed as some kind of reckless warmonger desperate to “pay them off” to end a conflict that isn't even officially a war. The mental yoga required to sell that story should qualify for the Olympics. They shrug at systemic welfare fraud that drains billions, but the sight of a self-made trillionaire sends them into convulsions. A man who generated that wealth by building products people voluntarily buy — no coercion, no subsidies, no mandates. That offends their sensibilities more than endless dependency schemes. So instead of acknowledging human achievement, they pivot straight to outrage theater. The world's first trillionaire deserves fireworks. They're delivering eulogies and pitchforks. This and plenty more on today's show. So here are the questions worth asking out loud: How does a political faction simultaneously fear productive billionaires and coddle career criminals? When did preventing fair elections become their most consistent skill set? And if innovation and voluntary exchange trigger them more than chaos and dependency, what exactly are they conserving — because it clearly isn't progress? Lines are open. Let's hear it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What do we have this hour? A whole lotta me, and I'm going to do what I always do which is to entertain you with the stupid idiocy of the Left.Elon Musk…richest man in the world.He's approaching King Solomon's wealth. The Bible states Solomon received 666 talents of gold per year (roughly 25 tons). At current gold prices, this equates to $1–1.6 billion annually in gold alone (older estimates used lower prices like $240 million–$1.1 billion). biblestudy.org Reign length: Over 40 years, plus additional revenues from trade (e.g., ships returning every three years with gold, ivory, etc.), tributes from vassal states, taxes from districts, and gifts (like from the Queen of Sheba). Total wealth: Factoring in accumulated reserves, control of trade routes, vast building projects (Temple and palace), and the kingdom's overall economy, sources converge on ~$2.1–2.2 trillion as a common figure. Some range it to $2–3 trillion. vocal.mediaAnother segment where I show you Leftism at work, which means it fails. That was a trick.

Is STARMER Toast?

In hour 1 of The Mark Reardon Show with Brad Young guest hosting, Brad is joined by Jacob Olidort, a Chief Research Officer and Director of American Security at the America First Policy Institute. He shares the latest known information on the Memo of Understanding with Iran. When will it be signed? Will it hold? Brad is then joined by George Rosenthal, a Co-Owner of Throttlenet for Tech Talk Tuesday. They discuss the UK British Prime Minister, Kiers Starmer, announcing a ban for kids under the age of 16 from using social media apps. How will it work? What are the pro's and cons?

And as I said earlier, the modern Left is deranged and dangerous because the ideology creates madness.When you live a lie long enough, reality becomes the enemy. And if reality becomes the enemy, eventually the people telling the truth become targets.Communication is the key. I know that sounds trite, but it is a fact. If you can't communicate with somebody, if you can't let them speak openly without judgment or punishment, the relationship won't survive.And that is what should give people hope: the Left cannot communicate anymore.It can chant. It can accuse. It can cancel. It can threaten. It can scream into a camera like the Constitution personally stole its bicycle.But it cannot persuade.And now we are hearing disturbing details surrounding the man who tried to kill President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.Source to review: https://x.com/ShaneCashman/status/2063345495351734696There is nothing weird, apparently, about Thomas Matthew Crooks emailing a deputy from Butler before the assassination attempt.Nothing weird about him practicing at the same range used by Homeland Security.Nothing weird about local police and Secret Service spotting him with a rangefinder, photographing him, texting about him for over an hour, and still letting him climb onto a roof with a rifle.Nothing weird about the Secret Service not flying drones that day, while Crooks was.Nothing weird about his body being cremated ten days later before Congress could examine it.At some point, the official story doesn't even have to be false to be insulting.Because the pile of coincidences gets so tall it needs aircraft lights.It's one thing to watch judges thwart President Trump's policy agenda. It is another thing to watch them do it with the subtlety of a brass band falling down a staircase.So what if the president's immigration policy works? Since when has success stopped a Leftist judge from interfering?Source to review: https://x.com/C_3C_3/status/2063055778261373344That is what happened with Judge John McConnell, who ordered the Trump administration to restart asylum and immigration processing tied to 39 countries.A federal judge blocked a Trump immigration policy affecting people from those countries, including applications for asylum, work permits, green cards, and citizenship processing.And yes, critics point to McConnell's political donation history. If a judge has a long record of political giving and then produces rulings that read like the Democratic Party's emergency brake, Americans are allowed to ask questions.This is the real problem.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I'm concerned because I don't know how any political movement survives this level of public self-destruction. These people are EVIL.Seriously, what is the sales pitch anymore?Imagine you're recruiting for the Democratic Party in 2026."Come join us. We oppose voter ID. We defend government waste until someone finds it. We support policies voters reject, then call the voters the problem. We lose elections and immediately begin holding seminars on why reality is unfair."Who signs up for that?And yet somehow they're still here.It's like watching a political version of a mall store that's been "Going Out of Business" since 1997. Every time you drive by, the liquidation signs are bigger, the windows are dirtier, and somehow they're still open.[ARC] Democrats LeavingTake Florida House Democrat Lindsay Cross.She recently announced she won't seek reelection.Now maybe there are personal reasons. Politics is demanding work. But if I were a Democrat officeholder looking around at my party right now, I'd probably be checking emergency exits too.Because what exactly are these people defending anymore?Every week Democrats discover a new hill to die on.Not a mountain.Not a strategic position.A hill.A tiny, insignificant mound that normal Americans didn't even know existed until Democrats climbed on top of it waving a flag.The latest example?President Trump wants to beautify Washington, D.C.And Democrats are upset.Think about how remarkable that is.There are wars.Inflation concerns.Crime.The border.National debt.But somewhere in America sits a Democrat operative furiously typing a memo titled: "Why Cleaner Streets Are A Threat To Democracy."You couldn't parody these people aggressively enough to catch up with reality.And what fascinates me isn't their insanity. It's their honesty.They're finally saying the quiet part out loud.For decades, Democrats wrapped radical ideas in beautiful language.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jeremy Corbyn is no stranger to media and political pile-ons. Neither is Hasan Piker.Hasan was due to grace the PolJOE dungeon with his presence, for a chat with the former leader of the Labour Party, but the UK government had other ideas.Himself and his uncle, Cenk Uygur, had their e-visas revoked by the Home Office, who believed their arrival would not be "conducive to the public good." We decided to find out whether that was true or not by carrying on with the interview regardless.Hasan and Corbyn joined Seán for a wide-ranging chat on where their philosophies blend, and where they differ. How the global drive for equality and emancipation continues to be undermined by the very states sworn to protect them, and where the left can learn to become a true force in mainstream and grassroots political movements alike.

Newt talks with Sarah Westall, host of the Business Game Changers Podcast, about her legal battle against YouTube, Google, and the U.S. government over censorship and free speech on the internet. In 2020, Sarah Westall's YouTube channel with 130,000 subscribers was deleted overnight, along with many others. Westall believes this was due to her interviewing medical experts who disagreed with the COVID-19 narrative. After being reinstated for 3 days, Westall's channel was taken down again, and fake channels with her branding and content started appearing, which YouTube failed to remove despite Westall's requests. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act was originally intended to protect online platforms and enable free speech but has been "weaponized" to allow Big Tech companies to censor content without impunity. Westall and her co-plaintiffs argue the courts have misinterpreted Section 230. Their case was filed in Washington, D.C. and is ongoing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nothing says ‘we defeated the racism' like requesting a W-9” from the white supremacist you just hired.What a story. Allegations reported in a lawsuit and summarized in reporting by Just the News show that when they SPLC was approached by a former white nationalist who wanted out of the movement, they hired him. The dude declared that the SPLC had won.Dude went to the KKK and declared, “I'm done. I would like to return this ideology. Please process my refund.”When he told the SPLC, they said, “Can we get you to reconsider?!”Now pause right there, because in normal reality, that is what we call a win.That's the moment you spike the football, ring the bell, and maybe even send the guy a fruit basket that says “Congratulations on your life upgrade.”But instead, the allegation says the system looked at that and said something closer to:“Wait… don't go anywhere.”And this is where it gets almost poetic in its dysfunction.Because the story isn't just “they didn't celebrate the exit.”The allegation is that they allegedly turned the exit into a job opportunity.Which is a very modern kind of American efficiency.Other organizations try to solve problems.This one allegedly offers the problem a consulting contract.Think about the psychological elegance of it.A man says, “I want out of extremism.”And the response is, “Great news. We've upgraded you to ‘ongoing engagement.'”That's not de-radicalization.That's corporate retention strategy with a morality badge on it.Somewhere between HR onboarding and Batman hiring the Joker as a “special advisor on chaos mitigation.”And look, I understand incentives. Everybody understands incentives.But there is something uniquely American about building an entire moral industry and then discovering that moral success might accidentally threaten payroll stability.Because if fewer people are extremists… fewer grants get written.If fewer extremists exist… fewer conferences get hosted.And if fewer extremists exist… somebody in the back row has to ask the most terrifying question in modern nonprofit history:“So… what do we do next quarter?”And that is when ideology meets budget reality.Now, while that story is unfolding, we have another subplot playing out in Maine that feels like it was written by a committee that ran out of coffee and gave up halfway through proofreading.There is a Democratic candidate controversy involving a tattoo reportedly linked to Nazi imagery.And the reaction from parts of the political world has been less “deep concern” and more of a gentle shoulder shrug that says:“Well… have you seen the polling?”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Imagine a political operation so dependent on a foundational whopper that admitting even a sliver of doubt would collapse the house of cards faster than a Jenga tower in an earthquake. Democrats didn't just lose in 2024; they got reminded that their greatest hits from the last decade were always more myth than mandate. The 2020 result? A victory so improbable, it required suspending disbelief, late-night ballot dumps, and a media apparatus that treated skepticism like a hate crime. And J6? A protest that got twisted into an "insurrection" narrative so airtight that questioning the security lapses or the selective prosecutions became career suicide. Why the obsession? Because those two lies aren't footnotes—they're the permission slip for every power grab that followed: lawfare, censorship, the works. Without them, the whole "threat to democracy" grift evaporates, and suddenly voters might notice who's actually been eroding norms for fun and profit.Here's where the humor hits like a left hook: Democrats treating election integrity questions the way a vegan treats a barbecue—offended on principle, but secretly terrified someone might enjoy the ribs.

Do you feel sorry for STARMER? The drowning, deluded loser! #JonGaunt #Starmer #UKPolitics #NetZero #ArmedForces #TroopingTheColour #NationalSecurity #TwoTierBritain #LionsLedByDonkeys  Is Keir Starmer becoming a tragic figure, or is he just a tragicomic clown? Today, we dive into the fallout from his latest statement—clinging to office while claiming he won't leave the UK in chaos. The irony? Many would argue the chaos is already here, and he's the one at the helm. In this live show, we're talking about the "lions led by donkeys." We all saw the incredible pride of our armed forces at Trooping the Colour today, yet we face the hard reality: our real defence forces are being hollowed out. How can we justify committing billions to Net Zero while we can't adequately fund the men and women who keep us safe? It's time for a reality check. Is Starmer truly deluded, or is there a more calculated "controlled demolition" of our national interests at play? JOIN THE CONVERSATION TODAY.

Welcome, Friends and Patriots!I'm excited about today's show because we're taking a little stroll down Primrose Lane. But this is not the kind of stroll where birds sing and butterflies land on your shoulder. No, we are looking at the destruction of Leftism We are people-watching at the graveyard where we see those Democrat voters rising from the grave and WAKING UP! Democrats are hemorrhaging their old reliable voting blocs faster than Tucker Carlson is losing relevance. Women are waking up. Black folks are waking up. Even those purple-haired, pronoun-wielding, avocado-toast revolutionaries in Gen Z are starting to peek behind the curtain and realize the wizard is just a grumpy old socialist with a trust fund. Everywhere you look, the people who were supposedly locked into one political tribe for life are starting to ask questions. So what's driving it?Two things.First, the sheer exhaustion that comes from trying to live inside a Leftist fantasy novel. Democrats are outing themselves.Second, Donald Pugnacious Trump.Love him. Hate him. Whether you collect Trump bobbleheads or throw darts at his picture, whatever your preference, you cannot deny that the man changed politics…FOR THE BETTER.Forget the media or other professional naysayers who gaslight about Trump. The Trump Effect is a real thing. And it's not just a domestic fling; it's a global phenomenon. From Europe to South America, leaders are copying the Trump playbook because common sense is making a comeback. More on that another day. For today, we're staying stateside. We're talking about the long game Trump played after what we all know was a coup in 2020. And recall everything the man went through back then. The humiliation of having to accept defeat to JOE BIDEN.That's enough to put many people in a mental institution.He never stopped swinging. Every time they tried to bury him, he popped up like a Whac-A-Mole with better lawyers and sharper one-liners. And those punches about the stolen election? They landed then and are landing harder now. Jillian Michaels is a reality star from a show called The Biggest Loser.She became somewhat political over the years, and I'm willing to bet that she was a card-carrying Leftist for many years. Not that it matters but she is a Lesbian, so part of the Skittles community. And she's been red-pilled.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What do you know about Iran?This article was written by a 26-yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspectiveMy Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose. These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The name "Dr. Jonas Salk" is synonymous with one of the greatest public health achievements of all time: The Polio Vaccine. The arrival of Salk's vaccine in 1955 was a beacon of hope and reinforced the role science can play to serve the public good. When asked who owned the patent for the vaccine, Salk famously replied, "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" In 1994, and just one year before Dr. Salk passed, polio was considered eliminated in North and South America. Today, vaccine hesitancy - driven by a host of reasons - has eroded childhood immunization rates in some parts of the country, and reignited a debate over vaccines as a stress test for public trust in science.rnrnContinuing the work of Dr. Jonas Salk is his son, Dr. Peter L. Salk. A graduate from Harvard University and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, he would go on to work in his father's laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies from 1972 to 1984, and again from 1991 to 1995. Together, they would research the biology and immunotherapy of cancer and autoimmune diseases, and develop an inactivated vaccine for HIV infection. Nowadays, Dr. Salk spends his time educating the public regarding his father's life and work and exploring approaches to reducing the severity of various public health problems. Since 2009, Dr. Salk has served as president of the Jonas Salk Legacy Foundation in La Jolla, California. He is also an adjunct professor at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Public Health, Department of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology.rnrnIn partnership with the Mt. Sinai Health Foundation, join us as Dr. Peter L. Salk sits down in conversation with Dr. Arthur Lavin, retired pediatrician and Co-Founder of Grandparents for Vaccines. Together, they will discuss the Salk legacy, the state of public trust in science, and the future of public health.

What motivates a 19-year-old conservative activist to travel the country debating politics on college campuses despite security threats and intense opposition? On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with rising political commentator Brilyn Hollyhand, author of the upcoming book Make America Talk Again. Brilyn shares how a fourth-grade mock election sparked his passion for politics, how an early interview with Charlie Kirk shaped his career, and why he believes America’s biggest problem isn't that people talk too much—it's that they no longer talk to each other. The conversation explores free speech on college campuses, political polarization, faith, leadership, social media, President Trump's connection with young voters, and the challenges of being a young conservative voice in today's culture. Brilyn also discusses the personal impact of security threats, his commitment to campus engagement, and the role his Christian faith plays in guiding his mission.

Starmer's Belfast Blame Game: Why Elite Fear TRUTH About Immigration?  #JonGaunt #Starmer #BelfastRiots #Immigration #Farage #TwoTierBritain #ECHR #UKPolitics #JohnHealey  The streets of Belfast are on fire, and the political class is hiding behind a smokescreen. Why is Keir Starmer more interested in policing Elon Musk's and Nigel Farage's language than addressing the massive elephant in the room: unvetted mass immigration and the total breakdown of our borders?  In today's show, Jon Gaunt exposes the staggering disconnect between the Westminster elite and the real people of this country. While the "Establishment" obsesses over "tone" and "narrative," they are ignoring the root causes of the riots and the legitimate concerns of patriots who feel like strangers in their own land. Is this the definition of a "Two-Tier" Britain? Why are the concerns of the native population labeled "far-right" while the causes of unrest are swept under the rug? How the political class uses Farage as a tactical distraction to avoid their own failures. The truth about the Belfast riots that the BBC and Sky News won't tell you. The "House of Rot" in Westminster has abandoned the working class. It's time for a factory reset.  Have your say! Are Starmer and the political class totally out of touch, or is this a deliberate attempt to silence dissent?

Threats against public officials have become much, much more common. This includes everyone from the president of the United States to members of Congress, to state and local officials, and even civil servants like local librarians. Threats have always been a part of United States history, often manifesting in times of political turmoil or cultural tension. The internet age opened a new chapter in the U.S. making threats easier to make and harder to trace and prosecute. So what exactly is the standard for defining a criminal threat? How has it changed? And how do we balance safety and free speech in a world where the two seem increasingly at odds? On this episode of Throughline, the shifting line between protected speech and true threats.Guests:David L. Hudson, Jr., associate professor of Law at Belmont University Law School and First Amendment fellow for the Freedom ForumMary Anne Franks, professor at The George Washington Law School, and author of Fearless Speech and The Cult of the ConstitutionSupport shows like Throughline with NPR+.

Free speech in America was never given — it was fought for, bled for, and died for. In this episode, hosts Marc Steiner and Michael Fox dive into the history of the movements that built and defended the right to speak out: the abolitionists who continued to speak — even as mobs attacked the building where they gathered — Ida B. Wells, who exposed the truth about lynching in Jim Crow Memphis, and the students at UC Berkeley who launched the Free Speech Movement of 1964.Michael takes us to Sproul Plaza, ground zero of the Berkeley free speech movement, and Marc shares his own story of carrying that fight from the civil rights movement to campuses on the East Coast. Together they trace a brutal pattern that runs from Elijah Lovejoy — the abolitionist editor murdered by a mob in 1837 — to the burning of Pennsylvania Hall, to today's crackdowns on student protest and the firing of professors for their political views.Featuring law professor Mary Anne Franks, author of Fearless Speech, on the crucial difference between fearless speech and reckless speech — and why America has so often protected the wrong one. Plus UC Berkeley historian David Hollinger on why universities are "the hill to die on," and Princeton historian Fara Dabhoiwala on why free speech has always been a battle over power.This is the second episode of The Battle for Free Speech. In this podcast series, in the lead-up to the country's 250th anniversary, journalists Michael Fox and Marc Steiner look at the battle for our free speech rights today, and the attacks on people speaking out in the United States.The Battle for Free Speech is a production of The Real News Network.Hosted by Michael Fox and Marc Steiner.

Host Tara breaks down a fast-moving, high-stakes broadcast. She opens with President Trump's sudden Truth Social announcement that the US military is moving to seize control of Iran's vital Kharg Island energy infrastructure. Tara and co-host Lee analyze why portions of Iran's defense grids were strategically left intact and challenge mainstream narratives regarding who truly controls the Strait of Hormuz. Shifting across the Atlantic, the show targets UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for using a viral, horrific knife attack video filmed in Belfast to justify a chilling digital clampdown. Tara exposes the UK's draft surveillance legislation—which would force tech companies to scan private user data directly on their devices—and asks what this creeping "social credit hardware" means for the future of global free speech. > Kharg Island military operations, Trump foreign policy, Strait of Hormuz conflict, Belfast speech crisis, Keir Starmer online safety act, private device surveillance, digital ID mandates, campaign security, independent political commentary

Host Tara addresses the intense fallout surrounding a horrific, widely shared video of an attack in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She calls out UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Australian media for targeting Elon Musk over the viral footage rather than confronting underlying immigration flaws. Tara exposes Starmer's newly proposed tech crackdowns, including a mandatory digital ID to access the internet and aggressive software scans of citizens' personal devices. Shifting to US politics, she breaks down a new executive order from President Trump targeting the US Postal Service, designed to block the transport of mass-mailed absentee ballots unless a state provides full transparency of its internal voter rolls. > Belfast riots, Elon Musk censorship, Keir Starmer digital ID, Online Safety Act, UK surveillance laws, mass-mail ballots, Trump executive order, independent political commentary

Still cooking up some fresh Leftism, and thanks for hanging in there.We have covered a lot today, and we have a lot more to go. I spoke of Karmelo Anthony last hour, and I'm glad he's going to prison.I think his parents knew it, and that's why they didn't spend that GFM money on a good attorney.You can bet that the majority of Blacks in America do not side with Karmelo Anthony.https://x.com/CHIMPUSX/status/2064532058819457416Austin Metcalf's father was swatted 6 times.Austin Metcalf's mother was swatted 2 times.They had to keep all of this under a gag order.Remember the couple in St. Louis who brandished weapons when people were marching for BLM in St. Louis.Remember how much hell they were put through.And while we are on the subject of this hate group, listen as Congressman Chip Roy quizzes the CEO of the SPLC on whether he's listed any Islamic groups on hate, given their viws on LGBT:[X] SB – Chip Roy Interesting that the SPLC says it doesn't target religious groups, but it targeted many Christian groups, including Focus on the Family.Anybody think the SPLC will make Democrats a hate group, given they selected a Nazi?Maine NazisSpeaking of exceptions, Democrats have apparently decided that electoral desperation cures all moral concerns.Look at what's happening in Maine.For years we've been told that certain beliefs, associations, comments, and controversies make a candidate permanently disqualified from public life.We've been lectured endlessly.No second chances.No forgiveness.No nuance.No redemption.Then along comes a candidate Democrats desperately need.And suddenly we're watching political yoga routines that would make Cirque du Soleil jealous.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome, Friends and Patriots!As always, today's show is packed with fresh Leftism. Not that freezer-burned stuff everybody's been reheating for weeks. No, sir. We source only the finest, freshest Leftist insanity available.Every morning I head down to the Leftism market and hand-select the choicest cuts. Then this crew goes to work.Most people see the headlines and call it news. We see raw ingredients. The other guys serve it straight out of the package. We slow-roast it, season it with irony, garnish it with hypocrisy, and turn it into a five-star audio feast. Do they give out Michelin stars for RADIO?!That's why you keep coming back.Brett and Dave are in the kitchen helping produce the show, while Danno jumps in wherever the recipe demands. They're my sous chefs in this culinary experiment known as modern politics.And trust me, today's menu does not disappoint.We've got outrage aged to perfection, hypocrisy smoked low and slow, and a Leftist special so absurd it practically plates itself.So grab a seat at the table.The feast begins now.St Louis is spitting out thugs like Jasmine Crockett and Karmelo Anthony.Karmelo AnthonyYou ever notice that Democrats have an uncanny ability to find the one person in every story they absolutely should not defend... and then defend him with the enthusiasm of a mother bear protecting her cub?Take the Karmelo Anthony case.The jury deliberated for less time than it takes Congress to rename a post office. They looked at the facts, looked at the evidence, and reached a conclusion that practically everybody knew was coming.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome, Friends and Patriots.I saw a post the other day that made me laugh because it was so simple, so practical, and therefore guaranteed never to occur to a politician.The post said:"End SNAP. Replace it with monthly distributions of dried beans, powdered milk, and rice. See how quickly people go back to work."Now before the media starts hyperventilating into a paper bag, the point isn't whether you'd actually do it.The point is that conservatives think differently.We look at a problem and instinctively ask, "What's causing it?"Government looks at a problem and asks, "How much money can we throw at it before the next election?"That's the difference.Conservatives are mechanics. We pop the hood.Leftists are interior decorators. They hang an air freshener on a smoking engine and call it progress.We are practical people.You don't need a secret handshake to become a conservative. There aren't seventeen pronouns to memorize. No mandatory reading list. No ideological purity tests.The requirements are pretty simple.Tell the truth.Work hard.Take responsibility.Treat people fairly.And be willing to hear another point of view without needing a therapist afterward.That's it.Most conservatives I know will argue with you for an hour, buy you lunch afterward, and mean neither thing personally.The Left can't do that anymore.Disagreement has become violence.Questions have become hate speech.Common sense has become extremism.Which is why people are constantly self-deporting from our side of the political fence.Not because conservatives throw them out.Because eventually they wander so far into Crazytown they can't find their way back.Tucker CarlsonTake Tucker Carlson.Apparently Tucker now believes President Trump has diminished American power in unimaginable ways.Unimaginable?Really?That's the word we're going with?While Iran is getting hammered.While Venezuela got exposed as a paper tiger.While Russia and China are learning that military hardware advertised like a late-night infomercial doesn't always perform as advertised.America's enemies seem considerably less confident than they did a few years ago.Maybe somebody should inform them they're winning.And speaking of self-deportation, where's Candace Owens these days?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

California is the perfect Democratic utopia.Not because everything works.Because nothing has to work.Think about it. The state is losing people, businesses, tax revenue, and occasionally entire neighborhoods. Yet somehow Democrats still present California the way realtors describe a house with termites."Open concept."Spencer Pratt looked at what happened to his community, looked at what happened to his own home, and decided to get involved.That's usually the part where Democrats tell us democracy is beautiful.Citizens engaged.Voices being heard.People participating in the process.Unless, of course, they're the wrong citizens with the wrong voices participating in the wrong process.Then democracy suddenly becomes a public health emergency.California Republicans don't vote. They provide test data.Their ballots are essentially quality-control reports that let Democrats know whether the system needs additional adjustments.The 2016 Presidential Election shook up the Leftist world and the world in general. In reflection, I understand the impossible odds that Trump faced, not because Hillary Clinton was a better candidate, but because the fix was in.Trump wasn't supposed to win.Most of the so-called experts predicted otherwise, predictions that flew in the face of what we were seeing.The media and polls amplified the “experts”.The paid shills verified the experts, and celebrities added their inconsequential opinions.It was the most thoroughly approved election in history... right up until voters delivered a different outcome.Imagine spending billions creating the world's most sophisticated vending machine, inserting the proper candidate, pushing all the right buttons, and having Donald Trump fall out the bottom instead.That's what happened in 2016.The machine broke.Leftist discovered that the machine they designed to make things look like voters mattered had a glitch. The cabal lost control of the outcome. Then came the frantic repairs. The infamous voting machines from Dominion. Updates were installed.Patches were downloaded.Emergency maintenance was performed.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Athenian Democracy provides innovative readings of ancient theorists to reveal both the complexity of democracy's achievements and its limits. In Athenian Democracy: Modern Mythmakers and Ancient Theorists (U Notre Dame Press, 2026), noted political scientist Arlene W. Saxonhouse offers fresh and provocative explorations of ancient political theorists, lending new insights about democracy's foundations and principles. These insights are more relevant than ever in a moment when the viability of democratic regimes is under scrutiny. Saxonhouse provides an in-depth discussion of the modern mythmakers (Hobbes, Paine, Hamilton, Mill, and Arendt, among others) who, in praising or excoriating Athenian democracy, have in fact distorted it to support their own assessments of democracy. She then offers detailed reinterpretations of the writings on democracy of four ancient theorists who had directly experienced life in the first democratic regime: Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, and Aristotle. Saxonhouse argues that the mythmaking that often attends our views of Athenian democracy—whether as a flawed, slaveholding regime that fostered factions and oppressed women or as an ideal regime of egalitarian and participatory democracy—blinds us to the deeper understanding of democracies that these ancient theorists can offer. Arlene W. Saxonhouse is the Caroline Robbins Collegiate Professor of Political Science, Emerita, at the University of Michigan. She is the author of numerous books and articles dealing with ancient Greek political thought, including Free Speech and Democracy in Ancient Athens and Fear of Diversity: The Birth of Political Science in Ancient Greek Thought. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing the tragic state of the modern world.From the protests in Ireland to growing frustration across Western nations, many people feel as though their voices are no longer being heard by the institutions that claim to represent them. I'll share why I support the right of people to protest and why I believe the demonstrations in Ireland have resonated with so many people around the world.We'll also discuss what I see as a deeper spiritual crisis affecting modern society. Many of the political, cultural, and social problems we face today are symptoms of a broader moral and spiritual decline, one that cannot be solved through politics alone.In this episode:My thoughts on the protests in IrelandWhy so many citizens now feel disconnected from their governmentsThe growing divide between ordinary people and powerful institutionsThe role of faith, morality, and personal responsibility in rebuilding societyWhy I believe many of today's crises point to a deeper spiritual battleWhether you agree or disagree, this episode is an invitation to think critically about the direction of our culture, our governments, and our future.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Saxonhouse offers fresh and provocative explorations of ancient political theorists, lending new insights about democracy's foundations and principles. These insights are more relevant than ever in a moment when the viability of democratic regimes is under scrutiny. Saxonhouse provides an in-depth discussion of the modern mythmakers (Hobbes, Paine, Hamilton, Mill, and Arendt, among others) who, in praising or excoriating Athenian democracy, have in fact distorted it to support their own assessments of democracy. She then offers detailed reinterpretations of the writings on democracy of four ancient theorists who had directly experienced life in the first democratic regime: Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, and Aristotle. Saxonhouse argues that the mythmaking that often attends our views of Athenian democracy—whether as a flawed, slaveholding regime that fostered factions and oppressed women or as an ideal regime of egalitarian and participatory democracy—blinds us to the deeper understanding of democracies that these ancient theorists can offer. Arlene W. Saxonhouse is the Caroline Robbins Collegiate Professor of Political Science, Emerita, at the University of Michigan. She is the author of numerous books and articles dealing with ancient Greek political thought, including Free Speech and Democracy in Ancient Athens and Fear of Diversity: The Birth of Political Science in Ancient Greek Thought.

Leftism has reached the point where it cannot define itself by accomplishment, prosperity, security, freedom, patriotism, family, or even happiness. The only way to understand modern Leftism is to chronicle what it promotes. And once you make that list, you begin wondering whether you're reading a political platform or the side effects section of a pharmaceutical product.The deeper problem isn't any individual policy. It's that modern Leftism increasingly defines virtue as the inversion of common sense. If a border works, open them. If standards work, lower them. If merit works, reward mediocrity. If a tradition survives, dismantle it. If people succeed, punish them, then take credit for their achievements. Eventually the movement stops building things and becomes a demolition crew searching for its next wall to demolish.So what are our examples? Let's look at the SPLCWe have the SPLC PAYING FOR RACISM. A blind man can see the irony and hypocrisy of this on Jupiter and without a telescope.Nothing says ‘we defeated the racism' like requesting a W-9” from the white supremacist you just hired.What a story. Allegations reported in a lawsuit and summarized in reporting by Just the News show that when they SPLC was approached by a former white nationalist who wanted out of the movement, they hired him. The dude declared that the SPLC had won.Dude went to the KKK and declared, “I'm done. I would like to return this ideology. Please process my refund.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I'm genuinely concerned about Leftists. As a psychiatrist would be to a patient who he has determine to be unfit to be loosed in the public.I honestly think they should all be reported to the authorities, and have their social media accounts carefully monitored.Be honest, have you ever seen such a crazed group of imbeciles?I wish my news feeds were a joke, but they are not. Wherever Leftists exists, you are in DANGER.Here is but one example:Police have just arrested DEMOCRAT Congressional candidate Kirill Basin in Hawaii for pulling a FIREARM on officials after storming a government building He's been charged with terrorist threatening in the first degree. Democrats are filled with utter psychos! I'm concerned because I don't know how any political movement survives this level of public self-destruction. These people are EVIL.Seriously, what is the sales pitch anymore?Imagine you're recruiting for the Democratic Party in 2026."Come join us. We oppose voter ID. We defend government waste until someone finds it. We support policies voters reject, then call the voters the problem. We lose elections and immediately begin holding seminars on why reality is unfair."Who signs up for that?And yet somehow they're still here.It's like watching a political version of a mall store that's been "Going Out of Business" since 1997. Every time you drive by, the liquidation signs are bigger, the windows are dirtier, and somehow they're still open.[ARC] Democrats LeavingTake Florida House Democrat Lindsay Cross.She recently announced she won't seek reelection.Now maybe there are personal reasons. Politics is demanding work. But if I were a Democrat officeholder looking around at my party right now, I'd probably be checking emergency exits too.Because what exactly are these people defending anymore?Every week Democrats discover a new hill to die on.Not a mountain.Not a strategic position.A hill.A tiny, insignificant mound that normal Americans didn't even know existed until Democrats climbed on top of it waving a flag.The latest example?President Trump wants to beautify Washington, D.C.And Democrats are upset.Think about how remarkable that is.There are wars.Inflation concerns.Crime.The border.National debt.But somewhere in America sits a Democrat operative furiously typing a memo titled: "Why Cleaner Streets Are A Threat To Democracy."You couldn't parody these people aggressively enough to catch up with reality.And what fascinates me isn't their insanity. It's their honesty.They're finally saying the quiet part out loud.For decades, Democrats wrapped radical ideas in beautiful language.Everything was compassion. Fairness. Equality.Now they've stopped decorating the package.The wrapping paper is gone.The public gets to see the product.And Americans are responding accordingly.Reports indicate Democrats lost millions of voters during the Biden years.The shocking part isn't that they lost voters.The shocking part is that they didn't lose more.Because every time Americans ask for common sense, Democrats respond like vampires being introduced to sunlight.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Antifa claims to be fighting fascism, but does the movement actually resemble the very ideology it says it opposes?

[X] SB - Mecklenburg Cty District 1. Length: 1m16s.That was the Mecklenburg County District 1 Republican candidate Aaron Marin, and he has dropped out of the race.He didn't drop out because politics got inconvenient. He dropped out because his home and vehicle were shot up while his family was inside the house.This is for a county seat. In Huntersville, North Carolina.Drive-bys are hitting the suburbs now.And the man quit the race because he didn't want to be killed.That sentence should make every normal American stop what they're doing.We are not talking about a presidential campaign. We are not talking about some national celebrity politician with a security detail and handlers who wear earpieces. This was a county race.And yet the threat was real enough that a man looked at public service, looked at his family, looked at the bullet holes, and said, "No office is worth this."Democrats should not be smug about that climate. Nobody should.Because once politics becomes physically dangerous for ordinary people, the country is not debating anymore. It is deteriorating.And as I said earlier, the modern Left is deranged and dangerous because the ideology creates madness.When you live a lie long enough, reality becomes the enemy. And if reality becomes the enemy, eventually the people telling the truth become targets.Communication is the key. I know that sounds trite, but it is a fact. If you can't communicate with somebody, if you can't let them speak openly without judgment or punishment, the relationship won't survive.And that is what should give people hope: the Left cannot communicate anymore.It can chant. It can accuse. It can cancel. It can threaten. It can scream into a camera like the Constitution personally stole its bicycle.But it cannot persuade.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ladies and gentlemen, picture this: a man who just got handed the keys to the kingdom again, not by some polite ballot ballet, but by a electorate that looked at the alternative and said, "Hard pass on the managed decline." The unapologetic return of a fighter who treats Washington like it's his personal dojo, and the media like sparring dummies who keep forgetting the rules. The two-headed hydra of the 2020 election myth and the January 6 fairy tale that Democrats have been force-feeding the body politic like it was mother's milk. It's not just spin; it's the life support system for an entire party's relevance.Imagine a political operation so dependent on a foundational whopper that admitting even a sliver of doubt would collapse the house of cards faster than a Jenga tower in an earthquake. Democrats didn't just lose in 2024; they got reminded that their greatest hits from the last decade were always more myth than mandate. The 2020 result? A victory so improbable, it required suspending disbelief, late-night ballot dumps, and a media apparatus that treated skepticism like a hate crime. And J6? A protest that got twisted into an "insurrection" narrative so airtight that questioning the security lapses or the selective prosecutions became career suicide. Why the obsession? Because those two lies aren't footnotes—they're the permission slip for every power grab that followed: lawfare, censorship, the works. Without them, the whole "threat to democracy" grift evaporates, and suddenly voters might notice who's actually been eroding norms for fun and profit.Here's where the humor hits like a left hook: Democrats treating election integrity questions the way a vegan treats a barbecue—offended on principle, but secretly terrified someone might enjoy the ribs.

Episode 4138 │ June 2026 Gun rights are expanding. Free speech is contracting. Both are moving at the same time — and that's not a coincidence. This episode maps an 18-year legal through-line in Second Amendment jurisprudence — from District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) through the pending Wolford v. Lopez decision — showing how gun rights have been methodically restored case by case. Scott then juxtaposes that restoration against the simultaneous erosion of First Amendment protections: government-by-proxy censorship exposed in Murthy v. Missouri, antisemitism laws that courts are already finding unconstitutional as viewpoint discrimination, and AI surveillance infrastructure being built faster than judicial doctrine can address it. Drawing on unconventional warfare doctrine, Scott introduces the Managed Polarization Operation — a strategy in which the conflict itself is the mechanism of control, not the outcome — and walks three historical precedents: Weimar Germany, the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and COINTELPRO. The episode maps the current moment onto four operational phases and names the mechanism that makes it work: asymmetric enforcement. It closes with the most important strategic question of this moment — what does principled, effective resistance look like that avoids both the radicalization trap and the paralysis trap? What is the legal through-line from Heller to Wolford and why does it matter now? Why are gun rights expanding while free speech rights are being restricted at the same time? What is a Managed Polarization Operation and has it been used before? How does asymmetric enforcement channel armed populations toward conflict? What does principled resistance look like that doesn't walk into either trap? BardsFM is a daily independent podcast covering faith, liberty, history, and information warfare.
