EPISODE 154: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:41) SPECIAL COMMENT: DeSantis dismissed Ukraine as not being one of our "vital national interests" and exactly six hours later a Russian fighter jet was knocking one of our intelligence drones out of international air space 75 miles off the Ukrainian coach. DeFascist looks like an idiot today, especially since Republican grown-ups pounded the crap out of him all day, and even more so because as a Congressman, the Rube-In-High-Heels demanded offensive and defensive weapons be sent TO Ukraine.  It's not just the standard story of a local yokel stepping onto the Republican national stage and promptly plummeting into the orchestra bit. DeSantis's flip-flop underscores the Republicans' century-long inability to make up its mind about any of the various incarnations of Russia. The America First DeSantii of 1939 wanted to ignore Russia even after its pact with Hitler. The post-war Republicans turned the actual Soviet threat into spies inside every home fallout shelter. Then Nixon went for detente. Then Reagan joked about beginning the bombing of Russia in five minutes. Then Reagan both destroyed the Soviet Union and 'brought peace.' Then Trump sold the GOP to Putin. Now DeSantis doesn't know which side of which is the Wokey-Fenokee Swamp. Meanwhile after a day of utter silence, Russia's second-favorite American Tucker Carlson actually mentioned Jacob Chansley, the Q Shaman. One mention. Literally. No explanation what happened to his wall-to-wall-coverage of the worst attack on American freedom unwoke non-CRT conspiracy. And coincidence or maybe more: heard anything from ANY Republican besides Gosar about it? Or about this "visit" to the January 6 defendants inside the DC Jail? They've gone silent too. But a DC judge hasn't: he says not only aren't the J6'ers NOT being mistreated, all their complaints have been addressed by the jailers AND they all have access to tablets to review...guess what...January 6th video for their defense. Something's up and it isn't Fox's ratings. B-Block (16:19) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Biden again notes that caving to Freedom Caucus demands to freeze spending at 2022 levels as their price to vote for a debt ceiling hike means...De-funding the police. Ohhhhhh are the Republicans pissed. Trump's indictment is days away and always will be. And he championed Veterinary Ivermectin for 11 years. Right up to the day it killed him. (20:40) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Brian Kilmeade calls Trump "the most disciplined I've ever seen him" because he hasn't dined with any white supremacists lately. The NHL televises a New York Rangers game live in cartoon without calling them the New York POWER Rangers. And a Minnesota state senator says there's no need for free school breakfasts or lunches because HE'S never met a hungry person.  C-Block (26:30) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Hopper, in Missouri (27:15) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Dan Abrams of "News Nation" humiliated himself on his show on the Nick-At-Nite of TV News networks. Which reminded me of the day in 2006 the geniuses at NBC decided to make him General Manager of MSNBC. He was so bad so fast that ONE WEEK LATER they took all the power away from him. It's a long laugh.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Freedom Caucus lays out demands to raise the debt ceiling. Republicans criticize President Joe Biden's 2024 budget, but offer few detailed alternatives. New York Rep. Jaamal Bowman speaks out against what some are calling transphobic bills.

The Red Star published an op-ed claiming we aren't aren't a Christian nation.  We certainly started out that way but are we still one?  It claims that the Freedom Caucus is to blame for all of our state's problems.

Today's Show Notes So we have a choice in this country now Chuck says. We've seen the past 2 years with the Biden adminstration - we have a choice between their Chaos or civilization. Our county is in chaos. Within the red states, the large cities are always blue - Texas is red, but Austin is blue. Our civilization is under attack. Obama's "I will transform America" is in full effect. We've got insane inflation, WWIII on the horizon, and there is no end in sight. We're going to still try and educate our listeners even if you all fully understand what's going on. The MSM is all about creating chaos and keeping your eyes off the truth. These people want chaos, even when things are working. Biden talking about these 12 million jobs he created. Even when the only jobs government creates are jobs in Government. The guys talk a little about how people are not getting jobs. No one wants to work. Biden is saying we have the lowest unemployment ever, but in truth we have the lowest participation in working ever which looks like low unemployment. Mark talks about some construction he is doing in The Free State of Florida. 3 new buildings are opened up and the company has been inundated with people applying with Section 8 housing. To qualify for section 8 housing you can not have a job. This is the same thing that creates a cycle of poverty and a way to be dependent on the government. The Biden admin has opened a new lottery program for people to get on section 87. We are now basically mailing out the rent payment every month. It is still the case - some people are making more money to stay home. https://briscoecain.com/

New revelations about George Santos, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan and the Freedom Caucus' demands provide a window into just how off-the-wall the Congress under Republican leadership has become. Matt appears on the radio show hosted by legendary broadcaster Howard Monroe to run down just how bad it's gotten, how Republicans are trying to reverse reality, and what the consequences would be for all of us if this group has their way.

Congressman Steve Cohen tells us what's going on inside the right-wing Freedom Caucus-infused Congress, including the dramatic moment that Marjorie Taylor Greene confirmed that she's nuts, what Jim Jordon is doing with his gaslighting investigations, and what does George Santos do with his day?

Lauren Daugherty, CEO of Young Americans for Liberty, on the Freedom Caucus and the '50 swamps in 50 states'

Andy Roth, President of State Freedom Caucus discussed the House Freedom Caucus expanding into State legislatures because, “there is a problem occurring in the 50 states, because there are 50 swamps, not just DC.” Roth comments, that Gary seeing that this was a nationwide problem, they decided to take House Freedom Caucus model, since it works, “as we saw earlier this month when they flop McCarthy on the speaker fight. So we decided that let's just take that business model and push it down into the states. So a little bit over a year ago, we launched our first one, the Georgia Freedom Caucus, and since then we've since rolled out nine more. And it's includes South Carolina, Mississippi, a lot of the Mountain West states, and even some blue states like Illinois. And our hope is that eventually we'll get into all 50 states because you know, DC is very good at meddling in our affairs, but even their long tentacles don't necessarily get involved in certain issues.” The Leader of the movement comments, many of the current fights like, “school choice, abortion is now at the state level, CRT in our classrooms, election Integrity, there's a long list of things that go on and on, all of the crony capitalism that occurs with regulations, spending and taxes are at the state level and it's occurring in the dark. Because think about it, most people don't know who their state rep is or their state senator, and the media attention isn't focused on all the bills that go through the state capitals, there's very little attention to it. And if there is attention, I doubt that there's been fair reporting, occurring. And so all of these things work against conservatives. And so we believe that the antidote is more freedom caucuses. At the state level.” Saying, “that is what the fight is over, transparency and honesty about what government is actually doing.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And, just like that, I'm back. This week I interviewed Andy Roth of the State Freedom Caucus Network. This organization started as an outgrowth of the House Freedom Caucus, and hopes to replicate its work at the state level. Andy describes the Freedom Caucus efforts to fight the swamp in DC, and says working at the state level really is the equivalent of fighting in 50 swamps. He gives examples in which a handful of conservative legislators, not even in session, can have real-world effects on public policy, and he gives a road map for expanding the State Freedom Caucus Network from its current group of ten states.

The death of Tyre Nichols has sparked another high-profile investigation of a police department in a major metropolitan area. Connor and Paul discuss the case, including the actions of the police chief, and leftists blaming the death on "white supremacy." Plus, in another concession to the Freedom Caucus, Kevin McCarthy agrees to bring the Fair Tax Act to the floor. We discuss how eliminating the IRS and income taxes might work for you and your family. #tyrenichols #taxes #FairTaxAct --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Since making concessions to his holdouts and winning a protracted Speaker's race as a result, GOP leader McCarthy has appointed several Freedom Caucus members to the powerful House Rules Committee. Their appointment to the Rules panel gives them significant influence over when legislation is brought to the floor and how it is debated in the 118th Congress. Public Strategies' Howard Schweitzer, Mark Alderman, Rodney Davis, Towner French, and Kaitlyn Martin break down the first three weeks of the Rules Committee work. And, now that a split Congress is upon us again, with Republicans looking to deploy their power with a fragile majority in the House and Democrats looking to advance their own policy priorities in the Senate, they discuss the status of inter-party negotiations over several must-pass bills and ponder how the new era of divided government translates into the 2024 presidential politics.

Former Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich told The Two Mikes today that the battle in the Republican caucus over who would be a Speaker of the House was a victory for pro-Trump forces as they voted for Kevin MaCarthy only because he agreed to back an America First agenda, not the agendas of Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce. Governor Ehrlich also discussed the mess our elections are in. Because each of the states sets its own election laws, the voting-perversions known as mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting, drop boxes, election-day registration, and no requirement for photo-IDs. These laws can only be changed by state legislatures, and the Republican party must win majorities in them. On foreign policy, Governor Ehrlich added that a lot of people were awakened during the election season when they saw the Biden government's eagerness to spend more than $100 billion to protect Ukrainian borders, but not a cent to stop the invasion of millions of illegal aliens over our wide-open southern border. “P.S.

We've been chronicling the unfolding scandal surrounding President Joe Biden's serious mishandling of classified documents and how his lawyers have been playing some incredible word games designed to deceive the public. There has been ongoing speculation that these sudden disclosures are directly related to Biden's intentions to run for president in 2024—an effort to sabotage him by his own party. While we believe this to almost certainly be true, we also believe there are some other issues at play. And they may involve the many nefarious actions of the Democrat Party, the executive branch, the FBI, the DOJ, and the rest of the Intelligence Community that we have detailed repeatedly—and how they are now threatened by the concessions garnered by the Freedom Caucus from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

It's one again time for D.C. to pretend there is a “debt-ceiling.” Thank God for the Freedom Caucus, we might actually get some cuts to the utterly corrupt agencies of that separate Country. Since we have been concentrating on using precise language, I have a precise question: is it even possible for this Country to pay-off the debt? Zach Abraham provides a clear answer in this episode. If it's not possible, will Americans continue to pay interest on this thing forever more? Or, as the bank of Japan may do there, will the “Federal” “Reserve” announce they have canceled the debt? That sounds truly radical, doesn't it? But--again, using precise language--does America really have currency anymore? Do we have money? Or, are we using the idea of money that has long since lost its truthful value? Zach and I went pretty deep in this one.

During a recent Instagram Live chat, New York Congresswoman and “Squad” member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explained why she and her colleagues refused to “Force the Vote” when Democrats took control of the House in 2021, unlike what the Freedom Caucus did earlier this month. Her response was enlightening, underscoring how AOC has become a complete Democratic Party insider and wholly abandoned the “bring the ruckus” persona that helped sweep her into office as an ostensible threat to the Democratic Party power structure. Jimmy breaks down all the ways AOC unwittingly acknowledges she has betrayed her supporters and become just another lying politician.

Want truth? Stop pretending these things exist in AmericaIn order to fix a problem, one must be honest about the situation we face and that requires accurate language. Maybe it's just me, but it sure seems like there is a lot of programming embedded in the language we use to describe our government's actions. For instance, consider our “debt limit” or “ceiling.” Our what? . . . we don't have a “debt limit.” That is a a feel-good fiction The Party has created. So, if the Freedom Caucus is who they say there are, they will need to to with the budget debate what they did with the vote for Speaker. THEY will need to be the debt limit. “The FDA” sets food and drug safety standards. Uh, no. It does not. We do not have a body that does that at the federal level.

The most important fight of this year will be the debt ceiling in the early summer. Today, I explain the budget math behind the Freedom Caucus proposal and how we've never had a better opportunity to leverage and properly message a balanced budget. It's not just about spending figures, but about crushing the woke agencies that have destroyed our prosperity and freedom. The debt ceiling will also create an inflection moment for us to crush the biomedical fascist state. I offer new information on how Republicans are still supporting the DARPA programs and global vaccine initiatives. Also, the CDC is on the cusp of retreating on the vaccines, but don't be fooled, the policies and future gain-of-function research will continue unless we uproot them.

President Joe Biden is being accused of illegally taking classified documents, allegedly while he was vice president under former President Barack Obama. The developing scandal is sparking debates on his hypocrisy over former President Donald Trump also storing classified documents and the Mar-a-Lago raid, and whether the justice system has been weaponized as a political tool. Biden is now being squeezed with investigations from both the Justice Department and the Republican party, with new calls for impeachment. Meanwhile, the United States is about to hit its debt ceiling, and this will force Congress to vote on whether to raise it. While this has caused sharp debates in the past, this time it could be different. After the Freedom Caucus stalled the vote of House Speaker in the House of Representatives, they've also taken a stronger stance against government spending beyond its means. The debt ceiling could mark their opportunity to transform a debate into a tool for reform. In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp we'll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

The House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government was launched on Tuesday, with Representative Jim Jordan, a combative ally of Donald Trump and a co-founder of the far-right Freedom Caucus, at the helm. This powerful new committee has the authority to investigate the federal government and how it has collected, analyzed, and used information about American citizens. Its mandate includes access to sensitive documents and details about covert actions, all of which fall under Congress's typical oversight authority. But the new committee also provides a way for Republicans to advance the narrative that conservatives are systematically under attack. The staff writers Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, and Evan Osnos gather for their weekly conversation to look at historical parallels of this new committee, and how it will likely handle issues such as Hunter Biden's laptop and the recent revelation that Joe Biden had a number of classified documents in his possession.

Given the political environment, the momentum from the speaker fight, and the new agreement on sharing power with the Freedom Caucus, we now have some tools to fight. But outcomes are not guaranteed. We are joined today by North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop, one of the lead negotiators of the agreement, who offers a sobering and balanced view on the outcome of the McCarthy fight. He observes that we now have momentum against those in the party who operate out of fear, but we still haven't reached the promised land. He explains the importance of the rules changes and committee structures, but notes that it will take conservative outsiders to provide a lot of the intellectual firepower and focus needed to push these members into action.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Highlights:  “What Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert and Chip Roy were all demanding from McCarthy was a parliamentary mechanism that would hold McCarthy accountable to his promise not to go down the Mitch McConnell route, and sell out his constituents. And that's exactly what they got with this Jeffersonian Motion.” “We now have breaking news that Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan is going to chair a ‘Weaponization of Government' select committee that's going to look into precisely those intelligence abuses, particularly those abuses taking place with Big Tech.” “Now members of the Freedom Caucus, many of whom made up those 20 holdouts that voted against McCarthy, now they are going to be a part of the very committee that sets the parameters for passing legislation.” “McCarthy finally agreed on bringing a vote on term limits for all members of Congress to the floor and the comprehensive Texas border plan involves completing Trump's wall, beef up border enforcement, targeting cartels and drug trafficking, and reforming the legal protocols for processing illegal immigrants inside the United States.” Timestamps:             [01:29] Concession #5: The Jeffersonian Motion [02:56] Concession #4: A New Church Committee [04:31] Concession #3: Individual Budget Bills [05:29] Concession #2: The Rules Committee [09:17] Concession #1: Term Limits and the Texas Border Plan Resources:   Build a fortress to withstand any or all storms that might arise in 2023 with Food Supply at Http://GetReadyWithSteve.comand discover why PREPARATION is my New Years Resolution at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSrwEKP2nWI Ep. 1357 Brazil in CHAOS as Protestors STORM Government Buildings!!!

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, classified documents from Joe Biden during his vice presidency were found at the Penn Biden Center in Washington D.C. The FBI is involved with the inquiry, with 10 classified documents from Biden's VP office at the center of the investigation. The presidential records acts requires all documents to be turned over to National Archives to keep information secure, which Biden clearly did not, but he won't be raided and attacked like President Trump. There is no way in hell that presidents haven't taken documents with them; Obama, Bush, Gore, Cheney all probably kept documents too. Also, the new House rules we've heard talked about on TV and radio were agreed to months ago, which is why the majority of the Freedom Caucus wasn't going along with the other 20 Republicans protesting Kevin McCarthy. It wasn't 20 patriots going up against 200, because most of the 200 already had what they needed. In reality it was some people using this to get more power, and some who just hate McCarthy. They simply couldn't take out McCarthy with another candidate, so they went back to negotiating rules and demanding committees. Later, Stephen Miller speaks with Mark about the crisis on the southern border and the importance of impeaching Biden now before it gets worse. Finally, Greg Kelly joins Mark to discuss his new book Justice for All: How the Left is Wrong About Law Enforcement. https://www.amazon.com/Justice-All-Wrong-About-Enforcement/dp/1668002027/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3KT5PIIEAN2XN&keywords=greg+kelly&qid=1673312630&sprefix=%2Caps%2C95&sr=8-1 Learn more about your ad choices.

The longest speaker battle since the Civil War played out in a slow-motion humiliation of Kevin McCarthy, who offered repeated concessions to the Freedom Caucus before finally mustering a majority of votes. A stellar set of guests – Gloria Borger, Jonathan Capeheart, and Robert Costa–breaks down the battle and its aftermath. They then turn to the 2-year anniversary of Jan 6, discussing what need happen to the Republican party before the country can fully shed the toxic effects of Trump's rule.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Some are disappointed that McCarthy has become speaker, but I believe that a weakened McCarthy, with our guys in control of policy, is actually the best outcome. Today, I explain the contours of the agreement between the Freedom Caucus and McCarthy, why he offered so many concessions, and why it is useful. No, it will not ultimately fix the federal government, but it will give us the ability to expose things through oversight and forced votes that embarrass both the government and the RINOs. The goal is to ultimately red-pill the public in a way that will force the cathartic brinkmanship we need. I'm also joined by Rep. Chip Roy, one of the lead negotiators, who explains the specifics of the agreement. He believes that it will allow his fellow patriots to weaponize our tools against a weaponized government. However, he cautions that we now must fight to hold the agreement accountable and utilize its promise with good policies and strategies. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sam hosts author Cory Doctorow to discuss his recent book Chokepoint Capitalism: How Big Tech and Big Content Captured Creative Labor Markets and How We'll Win Them Back, co-written with Rebecca Giblin. First, Sam runs through updates on Kevin McCarthy finally overcoming his Freedom Caucus brethren to attain the speakership, the Brazilian coup attempt this weekend as well as the hardline responses to it, NYC's nurses' strike, and the striking down of more gun control measures, before diving into the Mike Rogers v. Matt Gaetz matchup from this weekend. Cory Doctorow then joins as he dives right into his examples of chokepoint capitalism, first looking to the wildly exploitative contracts of the 20th Century music industry, with mass monopolies by studios forcing artists into exploitative and debt-riddled contracts, only for the digital age and rise of Spotify to push the industry towards a monopsony, with Spotify as the primary purchaser of music, allowing them to force similarly exploitative deals on the same debt-riddled artists. They then shift to the monopsonistic scam run by Audible, as Amazon's audiobook offshoot took Spotify's blueprint and added internal lies and scams to bluff authors out of hundreds of millions in earnings, and wrap up that portion of the interview with the advertising monopolies of social media tyrants like Meta and Google. Cory then shifts the conversation to weakening the power of these capitalist chokepoints, where corporations can use the lack of competition to force horrendous contracts and conditions on laborers, focusing on the obvious elements of anti-trust and broader crackdown on anti-competitive practices, as well as pushing big tech interoperability to improve access for consumers and laborers, before concluding the interview with a discussion on the other massive project required: completely overhauling the US system of copyright laws. And in the Fun Half: Sam talks with Jack from New Jersey about the difference between backlash to the “Never Kevvers” of the Freedom Caucus and the theoretical backlash to the Forced-Vote that never was, Marcus the Brazilian dives into the impact of Bolsonaro's ambiguous concession speech and the following (lack of) coverage of it, as well as the vast differences to Biden's response to 1/6 and Lula's response to 1/8. Kowalski from NB gives major weather updates on California and Europe, and Sam dives into Larry Summer's recent broadcast from paradise to tout his influence in cementing austerity as a tool of capitalism. Rachel from SF reflects on some good ol' fasc-ioned racist San-Fran housing discrimination, @Indrid.Cold27 discusses the TikTok scene, and Sam and the crew tackle updates on Matt Schlapp's alleged harassment, plus, your calls and IMs!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: On Friday, the U.S. House of Representative reconvened to decide the next Speaker of the House. On the 12thand 13th ballots, fifteen Republicans who had opposed Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) earlier this week changed their vote after McCarthy agreed to several concessions. According to Politico's reporting, the concessions seem to be minor. Were they enough to justify the holdout? Despite new-found momentum, McCarthy remains several votes short of the Speakership. While appearing on Fox News, Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) explained why he now supports Kevin McCarthy after voting against him eleven times earlier this week. Zeoli Speaks with Listeners: Assuming McCarthy is ultimately selected as Speaker, were the concessions negotiated by the Freedom Caucus holdouts substantial? Or does the holdout now seem more symbolic than tangible? Reportedly, one of the concessions gained by Freedom Caucus holdouts is the establishment of a new “Church Committee” to investigate the Federal Government's weaponization of domestic surveillance.

Kevin McCarthy’s most stubborn opponents in his House speaker bid is vowing not to fold and to continue the current stalemate until the California Republican either agrees to the defectors’ demands or drops out altogether. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who has been one of McCarthy’s most vocal opponents, pledged not to back down in the House speaker showdown, intensifying what has already been a dayslong fight as the chamber looks to elect its next leader. “I think this ends one of two ways,” Gaetz told Fox News after the House adjourned on Wednesday. “Either Kevin bows out, realizing there is no path to become speaker of the House even with one or two or three or five of the 20 who have opposed him half a dozen times on the floor, or he essentially has to wake up, bring the House into session, and put on a straitjacket with a rules package that we’ve presented to him that doesn’t allow a lot of discretion for the speaker of the House.” After failing to make headway in three rounds of roll call votes on Wednesday, McCarthy proposed a new bout of concessions to some of his most stubborn opponents in a last-ditch effort to win their support before the chamber reconvenes. As part of his latest concessions, McCarthy agreed to a proposal to add more Freedom Caucus members to the House Rules Committee, as well as further lowering the number of members needed to call for a floor vote to oust a sitting speaker, according to CNN. The compromise builds on previous concessions in which McCarthy agreed to lower the number of votes needed to oust him from the position possibly should he be elected, marking a significant win for far-right conservatives such as Gaetz. “The reason we’ve demanded that is we do not trust Kevin McCarthy, and it’s not a small body of work,” the Florida Republican said. Even if those demands are met, however, Gaetz has vowed not to back McCarthy’s bid. Twenty GOP lawmakers voted against McCarthy to back Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) in the latest round of voting, with one Republican voting present. Donalds initially voted for McCarthy in the first two roll call votes before backing Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) in the third round on Tuesday, conceding that “at the end of the day, we’ve got to get to 218." https://thepostmillennial.com/black-couple-given-plot-of-land-in-reparations-sells-it-back-to-la-for-20-million?utm_campaign=64487 Black couple given plot of land in reparations sells it back to LA for $20 million The heirs to Bruce's Beach, the prime beachfront property in California's Manhattan Beach, have sold the land back to the county for $20 million after receiving it just over a year ago in an act of restorative justice. The direct descendants of the black couple who were run off of their land and business got a form of "reparations," according to LA County. In 1912, Charles and Willa Bruce, a black couple, bought the plot of land for $1,225 and opened up a black beach club, reported the Los Angeles Times. These clubs were common in southern California during that period, when segregation kept black people out of "whites-only" beaches. Facing mounting pressure from racist individuals and groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, city officials condemned the property to eminent domain in 1924, claiming that they needed it to build a park. According to the Los Angeles County website, no park was actually built until nearly 30 years later, and the real reason for seizing the land was racially motivated. "It is well documented that the real reason behind the eminent domain process was racially motivated with the intention of bringing an end to the successful Black business and to thwart other African Americans from settling in or developing businesses in Manhattan Beach," the government site reads. The county ended up forcing the black couple off of their land, paying them only $14,000 when the plot was actually valued at $70,000, according to Daily Mail. The Bruces left the beach and closed their business. According to their family, they never financially recovered. In July 2022, LA County returned the land to direct descendants Marcus and Derrick Bruce as well as Derrick's sons, Anthony and Michael. "It destroyed their chance at the American Dream. I wish they could see what has happened today," Anthony said when the land was finally returned. On Tuesday, it was announced that the Bruces had opted to cash out on the land instead. The chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Janice Hahn, stated that the selling of the land will help rebuild "generational wealth" that the family lost out on after their great-grandparents' business was destroyed. "This fight has always been about what is best for the Bruce family, and they feel what is best for them is selling this property back to the county for nearly $20 million and finally rebuilding the generational wealth they were denied for nearly a century," she said. "This is what reparations look like and it is a model that I hope government across the country will follow," the county official added. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/madelineleesman/2023/01/04/indigenous-arts-leader-revealed-as-white-n2617839 ‘Non-Binary’ Founder of Indigenous Artists’ Collective Accused of Faking Native American Heritage The co-owner of a “queer Indigenous artists’ collective” in Wisconsin reportedly faked her Native American background and “used the front to make money,” the New York Post reported. Kay LeClaire, a woman who identifies as “non-binary,” was accused in an online forum of being white after claiming for years that she was of Metis, Oneida, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Cuban and German descent. LeClaire is a founding member of an art collective and is well-known in the Indigenous arts community in Madison, Wisconsin. LeClaire went by the Indigenous name “Nibiiwakamigkwe,” the Post noted. Reportedly, LeClaire earned artist stipends, a paid residency at the University of Wisconsin, paid speaking gigs, and art exhibitions based on her Native American background. But, a “hobbyist genealogist” who did not reveal their identity posted evidence of LeClaire’s real ancestry on an online forum. It showed that LeClaire is of German, Swedish, and French Canadian descent. “I am sorry,” LeClaire reportedly told local outlet Madison365. “A lot of information has come to my attention since late December. I am still processing it all and do not yet know how to respond adequately. What I can do now is offer change.” The art collective said in an Instagram post that it had parted ways with LeClaire on Dec. 31, 2022. The anonymous user who published LeClaire’s ancestry online went by the screen name “AdvancedSmite.” They spoke with Madison365 and revealed they are of Native American heritage. Townhall reported that several high-profile activists had been caught pretending to have Native American ancestry, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Canadian academic Carrie Bourassa, and actress Sacheen Littlefeather, whose sisters came forward late last year after her death to reveal that she was of Mexican descent.

According to studio source Belloni reports that Transformers: Rise of the Beasts racked up over 506 million views in two weeks across YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 drew in 187 million views while Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny only brought in 79 million views. Taking a peek at the YouTube numbers, as of today, the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny trailer only has 10 million views on the Lucasfilm YouTube channel. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts has 26.3 million views on the official Paramount Pictures YouTube channel. While Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 isn’t trailing Transformers: Rise of the Beasts as much as Belloni reported after two weeks, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is still significantly off the pace compared to Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. In fact, both films have more than doubled up on trailer views compared to Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is not only trailing these films when it comes to trailer views as noted by both Belloni’s inside source as well as spot-checking YouTube, but Belloni also claims the film is already at a disadvantage because Stephen Spielberg is not directing the film and Harrison Ford is 80 years old and is supposedly the leading man in a film franchise known for its action adventure heroics. The film’s promotion has also been plagued by director James Mangold’s antagonistic behavior to concerned fans about what he and Lucasfilm have planned for the film. Lucasfilm has a track record of destroying their male-led franchises, one needs only look at the the desecration of Han Solo in The Force Awakens that turned his character into a deadbeat dad, who then gets murdered by his own son. This anti-male theme would be doubled down on in Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi that shows Luke Skywalker as a man who has abandoned everything he believed in and even tosses his lightsaber away like a piece of garbage. This theme is not isolated to the sequel trilogies, The Mandalorian turns what was pitched as a ruthless bounty hunter living in the outer reaches of the galaxy into a glorified baby sitter for a child-like Yoda character that is apparently not a child at all. The Book of Boba Fett also turned the famed bounty hunter into an incompetent town manager. Given this track record, fans have a healthy skepticism of what Lucasfilm and Mangold will do to the franchise and have especially had their hackles up following the casting of self-proclaimed feminist Phoebe Waller-Bridge. In response to one fan concern, Mangold decided to attack him and then proceeded to lie about his attacks on the fan. Matthew Kadish shared his concerns writing on Twitter, “To anyone thinking Indiana Jones 5 might be good, just let me point out… 1. Steven Spielberg is not directing. 2. Kathleen Kennedy is producing. 3. Harrison Ford is 78 years old. 4. It’s written by Jonathan Kasdan, who wrote SOLO.” Mangold responded writing, “Thanks, Matt! 1) Keep making the world a better place crapping on things in the 1st week of production from your basement. 2) Never seen a script by Jon. Nothing against him. Just reality. Butterworths & I started from a blank page. 3) 1-3 r hugely talented & all at my side.” Clearly, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny does not appear to be connecting to people via trailer views and on top of that it has an antagonistic director who not only confirmed fan fears about Lucasfilm’s production are legitimate, but he’s openly degrading them for expressing such concerns.

This year's Congress is off to an astonishing start. As Kevin McCarthy moves his furniture into the speaker's office despite not having the votes, Andy talks to journalist Mark Leibovich about the shenanigans taking place within the House GOP. He explains why the Freedom Caucus is pushing for chaos, how reasonable Republicans are reacting, and what it all means for a functioning Congress. Mark also shares his opinion on whether President Biden should run for a second term.  Keep up with Andy on Post and Twitter @ASlavitt. Follow Mark Leibovich on Twitter @MarkLeibovich.

The Squad and their supporters in the liberal online media world who've fallen in line behind Biden, Pelosi and Schumer would be happy if everyone forgot about #ForceTheVote. But you know who didn't forget? The GOP's Freedom Caucus, which is currently using its leverage to extract concessions in exchange for their Speaker vote in exactly the same way many progressives had hoped The Squad would do at this time two years ago. But that didn't happen, and as a result these so-called "progressives" were exposed as go-along, get-along institutionalists who would never challenge the power centers of the Democratic Party. Jimmy and Useful Idiots podcast host Aaron Maté discuss the legacy of #ForceTheVote and what might have been accomplished had House progressives been willing to use their power to move a leftist political agenda forward. Plus a segment hosted by Aaron speaking with The Grayzone's Anya Parampil about the sad end to Juan Guaidó's tenure as the pretend President of Venezuela.

An historic stalemate is playing out in the fight over speaker of the House. The last time it took more than one round of voting to fill the top job in the House of Representatives the year was 1923. This week Republican Kevin McCarthy has fallen short on ballot after ballot (9 at the time of publication). Democrats predictably lined up behind minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, but it was actually a handful of far-right GOP lawmakers who have thwarted McCarthy's bid. They continued to nominate and vote for other candidates, including former president Donald Trump, even as McCarthy's camp promised concessions like positions for Freedom Caucus members on powerful committees. Veteran journalist Susan Page has covered dozens of votes for speaker, but never one like this. She joined Diane to discuss what this fight says about the Republican party – and politics in America today.

The House of Representatives still doesn't have a speaker, and it looks like it will be heading into the tenth vote for the position. Why is the Freedom Caucus so against Rep. Kevin McCarthy? Reports are coming out that he offered more key concessions to Republican holdouts, and he once again fell short of the 218 votes he needs to become speaker of the House. The DOJ said that the U.S. Postal Service can deliver abortion pills — mifepristone and misoprostol — by mail in states that have banned abortion, and health officials are hailing the move as a victory for “women's rights.” Why is the crazy Left so obsessed with killing babies? Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is not wasting time during his second term, and he ORDERED all Florida universities to report funds spent on diversity, equity, inclusion, and critical race theory. Will the Left push back against this? Rapper Cardi B is upset at the surging food prices and took to social media: “The f***? And I have a big platform so I do want everybody that's responsible for these f***ing prices to put that s**t the f*** down. They gonna see my s**t, they might put it down.” If she really thinks this way, why does she vote Democrat? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sam hosts Clara Mattei, Assistant Professor of Economics at the New School for Social Research, to discuss her recent book The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism. First, Sam runs through updates on Kevin McCarthy entering day three of House purgatory, the FTC banning non-compete agreements from labor contracts, mass tech layoffs, foreign support for Ukraine's defense, and January 6th revelations, also diving deeper into the Fox crackdown against the McCarthy dissenters. Clara Mattei then joins as she and Sam dive right into the political nature of all economics, walking through the ingraining of social values through economic policy, and the enormous political implications behind any economic model. Next, Professor Mattei turns specifically to the policy of austerity, parsing through how it came to be viewed as a necessary party of our inevitable system of capitalism, disciplining the labor market into its position of exploitation while undermining the possibility of alternative social models. They then tackle the trinity of austerity policies, outlining fiscal austerity's dismantling of social welfare, monetary austerity reinforcing reliance on wage labor by taking away credit and employment, and industrial austerity's emphasis on privatization and deregulation to dismantle labor power. After expanding the discussion of undermining labor as a tactic to protect capital, Professor Mattei walks through the role of World War I in inspiring the political elites' shift to favor austerity, as belligerent nations had been forced to nationalize in the face of war, incidentally exposing wage-exploitation to be a political choice while highlighting the thriving (if smaller-scale) alternative economies – from guilds to coops and councils – and a post-war clamor to re-legitimize their system of capitalist exploitation. This brings them to the pivotal post-war financial conferences in Brussels and Genoa where the capitalist states brought in economic experts touting this new tactic of austerity, framing taking from the many and giving to the few as a mass sacrifice for mass benefits, taking off in European states like the UK and Italy, and setting the stage for a rising fascism that was legitimized by the liberal establishment, and a deeper and deeper acceptance of capitalism via fiscal, monetary, and industrial austerity. Wrapping up, they tie the revelations of the Great War to the revelations we saw in capitalist societies in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the parallels to the ongoing attempt to use inflation to discipline labor, before Professor Mattei walks through the role of Capital Order in helping us unpack our current political moment. And in the Fun Half: Sam is joined by Brandon Sutton as they unpack Kevin McCarthy racking up his 7th and 8th Ls since Tuesday, watch Hannity go ballistic on Boebert for obstructing governance, and explore whether the Freedom Caucus 20 actually has any semblance of a plan. They also tackle the state-level influx of anti-trans legislation, particularly looking at Montana's recent SB99, and watch what happens when Laura Ingraham accidentally invites someone who isn't a total nutjob onto her show to talk sports, plus, your IMs!

This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by co-host emeritus Benjamin Wittes to talk through the big natsec news stories starting off the new year, including:“Watch Out, You Might Get What You're After.” As we recorded, the Freedom Caucus was in the midst of burning down the House, denying the Republican majority the ability to appoint Kevin McCarthy as Speaker through three consecutive ballots. Where might this lead? And what more should we expect from the 118th Congress? “Title and … Reversed?” The Supreme Court interrupted its holiday break to consider whether Republican-led states should be allowed to intervene in a case wherein a lower court ordered the end of Title 42 policies, which impose draconian immigration restrictions on the basis of the COVID-19 public health emergency. What could the Supreme Court's intervention mean for these policies? And what does their persistence tell us about immigration politics in our country?“A Boom Market for Things That Go Boom.” U.S. arms exports to NATO allies nearly doubled in 2022, due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But what might becoming an even larger arms exporter mean for U.S. foreign policy? For object lessons, Alan recommended the teen revenge flick, "Do Revenge." Quinta endorsed Kate Beaton's new graphic novel, "Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands." Scott issued a mea culpa for his recent lapses in Muppet knowledge and independently confirmed that yes, in fact, the new "Willow" television series is in fact good. And Ben urged listeners who might find themselves in NYC to check out Mike Birbiglia's latest stage show, "The Old Man and the Pool." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Topics Include: 1)Buffalo Bills release Medical Diagnosis After Damar Hamlin's sudden collapse on the field; 2) Carl expresses his condolences and gratitude for the late Pope Benedict the XVI for his adherence to traditionalism; 3)Ukrainian Strike kills lots of Russian troops and why it matters, and lastly 4) Contrary to popular opinion even amongst conservatives, Carl explains why he believes the Freedom Caucus should continue to hold out against Kevin McCarthy's ascension to Speaker until their concessions are met.   More: www.TheCarljacksonshow.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carljacksonradio Twitter: https://twitter.com/carljacksonshow Parler: https://parler.com/carljacksonshow http://www.TheCarlJacksonPodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Sam and the MR Crew are back to break down the biggest headlines coming out of the holidays, as well as what's to come in 2023. Sam begins by running through updates on Russia's expanding drone war in Ukraine, the final releases of the 1/6 Committee, Donald Trump's tax returns, and the partisan polling behind 2022's pre-election “Red Wave” narrative, also touching on an insulin cap for medicare. Then, he dives into Brazil's election of Lula da Silva as President, walking through the mass coalition that elected him (and the countless numbers that showed up for his inauguration), as well as contrasting that with Bolsonaro's arrival in Florida. Next, Sam and the crew discuss the ongoing House Leadership vote as Kevin McCarthy arrives on the floor, parsing through the various responses to the Freedom Caucus 5's attempt to disrupt his candidacy and the institutional backlash seen on Fox, also taking on the complete absence of a policy-argument in this challenge, and what the Republican agenda actually is. Wrapping up, they zero in on New York politics, first tackling the continuing revelations around Congressman-elect George Santos, before exploring Gov. Hochul's nomination of conservative Judge LaSalle, and the coming together of the New York left to collectively reject his nomination. And in the Fun Half: Sam takes on the continued prevalence of anti-trans issues, even in the wake of this topic's failure to act as a motivating force over the midterms, discussing Chaiya Raichik's fear-mongering performance on Tucker Carlson, and tracing her roots back to another fundamentalist cult. Jacob from Alabama discusses the West Rock Paper Mill lockout and the lack of coverage around it, Alan from NC discusses the hypocrisy of the “genital mutilation” talking point, and Tim from Kansas calls in to discuss the COVID-deniers' heartless response to Damar Hamlin's shocking accident this weekend. They also tackle the attack on Librarians as a result of the transphobic stochastic terrorism on the right, discuss the ever-prominent fundamentalists and theocrats working for the GOP, and discuss Europe's place in the movement for trans rights. Ayantu from Massachusetts expands on the recent interview about the Tigray War, the crew gives updates on the vote for Speaker of the House plus, your calls and IMs!
