Podcasts about Freedom Caucus

It's Thursday, May 22nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Pakistani Muslim man abducted, forcibly converted, and “married” Christian teen A Christian 15-year-old girl in Pakistan reunited with her parents yesterday after being abducted five months ago. A 29-year-old Muslim man, Muhammad Anees, kidnapped her with four other men from her aunt's home, forcibly converted her to Islam, and married her. The girl suffered abuse for months and is now pregnant.  Attorney Hanif Hameed told Morning Star News, “This is a clear case of false conversion and fake marriage to cover the crime of abduction and rape.” Sadly, such cases are increasing in the South Asian country. Pakistan is ranked eighth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  Billy Graham Association to host evangelism meeting in Germany The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is hosting the largest meeting on evangelism in 25 years in Berlin, Germany later this month. It's the same location that Rev. Billy Graham held the first World Congress on Evangelism in 1966. Evangelist Franklin Graham is focusing the upcoming event on the church in Europe. Listen to his comments to CBN News. GRAHAM: “We want to ignite a fire in Europe to where there's an excitement for evangelism and the churches are willing to be bold and not ashamed of the Gospel. “We've got Ukrainian churches coming. We have churches coming from Russia. You know, some say, ‘These countries are at war.'  Yes, they are, but the Gospel is more powerful than any of that stuff.” In Romans 1:16, the Apostle Paul wrote, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” Trump announces “Golden Dome” missile defense system U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans for a $175 billion missile defense system on Tuesday. U.S. Space Force General Michael Guetlein is leading the project, known as the “Golden Dome.”  Trump said the system should be completed in about three years. Defunding Planned Parenthood remains in Trump's budget bill A handful of conservative Republicans, who hesitated to support Trump's “big, beautiful bill,” appear ready to support the massive package after a furious pressure campaign from President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, reports The Hill. After meeting with Trump at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, and then huddling together afterward on Capitol Hill, the members of the conservative Freedom Caucus emerged to say they're on the cusp of supporting the package — if a laundry list of changes promised by the White House is reflected in the final proposal. Their newfound enthusiasm appears to stem from assurances Trump and Johnson made during the White House meeting, including a promise from the president to issue more executive orders addressing some of the spending concerns the conservatives couldn't secure in the legislation, and expanding the rollback of green energy tax credits enacted in the Democrats' 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.  The bill seeks to deliver on Trump's key campaign promises, including making permanent Trump's 2017 tax cuts and eliminating taxes on tips.  And, thanks in part to the calls of Worldview listeners, the defunding of Planned Parenthood remains in the bill. Court: Florida should require parental consent for a minor's abortion Last Friday, a federal appeals court ruled against a Florida law that allows minors to get abortions without parental consent. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Fifth District Court of Appeals ruled that the law was unconstitutional and violated parental rights. The decision stated, “Whatever asserted constitutional abortion rights may have justified Florida's [law] in the past unequivocally have been repudiated by both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Florida Supreme Court.” Married, employed, church-attending people happier Harvard University recently published their Global Flourishing Study which surveyed 200,000 people across 22 countries over the past five years. The study found people experienced higher levels of wellbeing when married, employed, and attending religious services. Professor Tyler VanderWeele led the research. He noted, “Religious service attendance was one of the factors most consistently associated with present or subsequent wellbeing, across countries and across outcomes.” Anniversary of First Council of Nicaea And finally, this month marks the anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, 1,700 years ago. In May A.D. 325, about 300 Christian leaders convened in the city of Nicaea, located in modern-day Turkey.  The council dealt with the doctrine of the Trinity. In particular, the church at the time had to refute the heresy of Arianism, which denied that Jesus is fully and eternally divine.  The council went on to affirm the Trinity and Christ as fully God in the Nicene Creed. It is recited by churches worldwide to this day.  The creed affirms there is “one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by Whom all things were made.” John 1:1 and 4 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, May 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

In this fiery and emotionally charged monologue, the speaker connects a surge in antisemitic violence to radical ideologies incubated on American college campuses. Citing a recent shooting by a suspect tied to pro-Palestinian groups, the commentary condemns what it views as the mainstreaming of terrorist rhetoric in academia and politics—specifically from the far-left and members of the Democratic “Squad.” The discussion then shifts to national security, immigration, and student visas, with warnings of future violence inspired by campus-based extremism. In the second half, the focus turns to economic policy, where conservative voices are praised for resisting bipartisan spending and pushing back against Green New Deal subsidies. The speaker applauds members of the Freedom Caucus for challenging both GOP leadership and Trump himself to protect future generations from economic collapse. The message: America's cultural and fiscal foundations are being tested—and only bold resistance can turn the tide.

Donald Trump went to Capitol Hill this week to push House Republicans across the finish line on his big domestic policy bill. Behind closed doors, he told conservatives not to “F— around with Medicaid,” and told blue-state Republicans to take the SALT deal on the table: $40,000 for four years, then snapping back to $30,000. That would cover about 90% of blue-state filers, but not the ones making the most noise. Even with Trump applying pressure, guys like Andy Harris and Mike Lawler are still holding out. Some members are softening, but others like Thomas Massie are dug in. So, for now, Speaker Mike Johnson's goal of getting a vote within 48 hours is shaky at best.The bill itself is massive — over 1,100 pages, with tax cuts, defense spending increases, and border policy changes. It would still remove Medicaid coverage for more than seven million people, depending on which estimate you believe. And of course, any version that passes the House is going to get shredded in the Senate. Whatever they vote on now, they'll end up voting on something worse later. So a lot of this feels like performance. The fight is real if you're in the trenches, but from the outside, it looks like an inevitable mess.The bottom line is that they have to pass this. Everyone's worried about the attack ads, about the carveouts, about what they'll be blamed for, but if they don't pass this, they've got nothing. No achievements. No wins. And that's a death sentence for 2026. Trump knows it, and that's why he's pushing so hard. The longer this drags out, the more nervous the business community gets. Right now, things are relatively stable — tariffs are high but consistent, regulations are locked in, and the tax code hasn't changed yet. That kind of stability is gold to investors. It gives them permission to move. If you pass this bill now, businesses start planning in Q3, making decisions in Q4, and consumers start to feel it by next summer — right as the midterms heat up.And that's the ballgame. Republicans don't want to be running in 2026 on the ghost of Joe Biden's presidency. They want to run on Trump's second-term economy. They want to say, “This is what we did. Do you want to go back?” That's the message — and it only works if the economy is good. So from a strategic perspective, if you're a Democrat, you want this thing to grind. Drag it out. Make the House Freedom Caucus fight harder. Blow it all up and pray the delay ruins the timeline. Because that's the only way this thing doesn't end in a campaign-ready boom for Republicans.My guess? The bill passes the House in the next five days. I don't see what changes between now and the two-week delay the Freedom Caucus wants. Someone's going to have to eat it, and most likely, that someone is going to realize there's no better option coming. As for the SALT caucus — I'm still not sure what they're waiting for. Whatever it is, it's not making them look particularly sympathetic to the rest of the country.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:37 - Original Sin Book Thoughts (with Chris Cillizza)00:35:17 - Update00:39:13 - Big Beautiful Bull00:48:41 - Russia Talks00:53:17 - Kristi Noem00:57:42 - Original Sin and the State of Cable News (with Chris Cillizza)01:37:56 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) says felony charges she is facing for allegedly  assaulting a federal  law enforcement officer outside an immigration detention facility are "purely political"; Secretary of State Marco Rubio defends the President's foreign policy before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as Sen Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he regrets voting to confirm him; President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announce plans for a U.S. missile defense shield the president calls the Golden Dome; IRS Commissioner nominee Billy Long is asked at Senate Finance Committee confirmation hearing about allegations he was paid to refer friends to a company that sold tax credits that the IRS says do not exist; White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, in celebration for "Take Our Sons & Daughters to Work Day", fields questions from the children of reporters and White House staff.

In a major development, Congressman Ralph Norman reveals on 98.9 WORD that the House Freedom Caucus is prepared to block former President Trump's signature legislative push—dubbed the “big beautiful bill”—if core demands are not met, including immediate action on Medicaid reform, codification of Trump-era tax cuts, and removal of illegals from benefit programs. Norman discusses his decision to co-sign a pivotal letter to Speaker Mike Johnson urging Republicans to enshrine the Trump agenda into law, criticizing weak GOP leadership, runaway spending, and judicial overreach. This explosive interview exposes the mounting internal GOP tension, looming threats to the U.S. dollar, and a potential legislative showdown.

This commentary breaks down the heated Medicaid debate, exposing common Democratic talking points and clarifying who actually faces cuts under the current Republican proposals—focusing on illegal immigrants and fraud prevention. It also highlights concerns about federal spending, work requirements for Medicaid recipients, and the potential economic fallout from a shaky bond market. Insightful political analysis reveals how both parties influence healthcare policy amid growing fiscal challenges.

Illinois State Rep and Freedom Caucus member Blaine Wilhour explains the duty to resist the Illinois government's overreach regarding parental ability to raise their children and provide them an educational future unburdened by the failure of the public education system.

Everyone is commenting on the Canadian elections, but what most on the Right are missing is that we are on our way to becoming like Canada in the sense that we can't elect conservatives even in culturally conservative parts of the nation. I raise concerns about Greg Abbott's comments that Trump will endorse Texas RINOs. Next, we're joined by Nathan Dahm, director of the Oklahoma Freedom Caucus, who briefs us on a Supreme Court case stemming from liberal Republican Attorney General Gentner Drummond suing the state school board for approving charter school status for a Catholic school. What's worse is that the state supreme court sided with him! Dahm explains why Oklahoma's institutions continue to be liberal despite the state's voting patterns. The Freedom Caucus is battling entrenched RINOs who are blocking judicial reform and education reform and are also trying to gum up the primaries. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Byron's district some homes in Wilson are worth $30 million while some lots in Alpine can still go for $50,000. That's just one of the big divides he straddles while lawmaking in Cheyenne. As a Republican, he takes pride in working with the Freedom Caucus, a far-right bloc that has the majority in the Wyoming House. He's also not afraid to say he thinks some of their member's behavior is unfair to Wyoming. From championing conservation in an oil and gas state to contemplating social issues like trans rights, Bryon advertises himself as a political bridge in a time when divisions reign. If you pick up the phone instead of sending a mean email, he says, he'll buy you coffee. 

Andy Schwartz is the legislative advisor for the town of Jackson, a blue speck in an increasingly bright red state. Jackson has become a political target, he said, leading the town to hire a lobbyist to monitor and respond to relevant bills. Having served eight years in the same statehouse, he's seen the rise of national partisanship and the Freedom Caucus reducing bipartisan lawmaking. Still, he said, common ground and compromise are not just possible but necessary. “Once you find one point of agreement, you can then work through that,” Schwartz said. “And that's pretty much how I deal with the Freedom Caucus, because we disagree on a lot.”

Once again, the Freedom Caucus got rolled and agreed to pass the trashy Senate budget bill in return for yet another verbal promise to cut spending the next time. I discuss the details of Trump's maneuvers on both trade and debt to show how he only pressures the right but not the RINOs. For the first time, I reveal my theory behind this inconsistency. Also, Con Inc. is gaslighting you about the state of the economy, the reason for the easing of inflation, and the timeline of Trump's decision on tariffs. Finally, I offer some more examples of why the Supreme Court will not fundamentally save Trump's agenda.     Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What are some weaknesses the party should address regarding ReOrg? Then Hannah brings up a  conversation had around her precinct regarding the local Freedom Caucus and Republican Caucus. There's been some local confusion about the two caucuses and about our primary process.

The Democrats are just as nuts in Wyoming as they are in the rest of the country.  Multiple Harriet Hageman events have been disrupted recently by them.  Audio from inside a Sheridan County Democrat meeting proves they're planning to disrupt another event.  Also some curious comments from a 28 year old Democrat who claims to have infiltrated the Freedom Caucus.

Between the Freedom Caucus' first session holding a majority in the House and the Senate tanking a supplemental budget, the general session of the 68th Wyoming Legislature was a whirlwind. Our team shares highlights – and what happens next.

During the Biden administration, I warned that the government was engaging in “economic grooming” by acculturating the public to accept the current price levels as the new normal and to deem slower rates of increase as victories against inflation. We are seeing the same things from Trump supporters misinterpreting one month's CPI report. We cannot lie to people that inflation has been solved without cutting spending or without a deep recession. Next, we're joined by April Cromer, vice chair of the South Carolina state Freedom Caucus, who reports bad news from the South Carolina budget. The GOP governor and, yes, supermajority worked with every Democrat to pass a bloated and woke budget. The Freedom Caucus in South Carolina (unlike the national one) refused to go along with it and has exposed that supermajorities are just as fraudulent as narrow majorities. She explains how she beat an incumbent and why primaries are more important than general elections. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Not only are the spending cuts from the DOGE either being exaggerated or struck down by the courts, but now its existence is being used as an excuse not to cut spending for real in budget bills. Today, I explain how the budget CR is a bigger betrayal than you think. I shoot down about a dozen arguments in support of it. Unfortunately, Trump has pressured the Freedom Caucus rather than the RINOs, so we will wind up with the same old. Unless they come up with a new playbook, we know how this play ends. Also, I'm very concerned about the slow pace of deportations and explain the factors holding them up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The swamp is not just in D.C.; it's in all 50 state Capitols. In fact, it's even worse in red states, because there is no scrutiny from the public. We begin today by going through some examples of excellent legislation we could pass but that is being blocked by Republicans. I'm joined by Andy Roth of the State Freedom Caucus Network, who gives us his thoughts on the legislative sessions so far. Republican leaders are worse than ever in places like Florida, South Carolina, and Texas. Andy explains how the creation of the Freedom Caucus is the only solution to the problem of getting individual members with the courage and acumen to fight against leadership. However, at the same time, he can't rush into a state to create a caucus unless it won't be watered down and subverted from within. Roth also teases out which states will be easier and which states will be harder to create a caucus in. Ultimately, we will not drain the red-state swamps without working in primaries and growing Freedom Caucuses.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today with an update on the Florida RINO amnesty fight with Governor DeSantis. These people are hell-bent on bringing the state back to pre-DeSantis governance controlled by special interests. Yet they run on our issues when they campaign. This is why we must self-separate, and this is where the Freedom Caucus comes in. We're joined today by Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the new chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, for an update on the caucus' fight with leadership over trying to actually fulfill the promise to bring down inflation. He discusses the plan for cutting spending and budget reconciliation. We also delve into the need for wholesale health care reform to bring back life, liberty, and fiscal solvency. Finally, he discusses the need to responsibly grow the Freedom Caucus in such a way that imposters cannot get away with co-opting our brand to promote the uniparty's special interests.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin today by continuing to connect the dots between the tech bros, Arab donors, and this push for AI data centers. It is reverberating across other important issues as well, such as immigration and foreign policy. These donors are continuing to steer Trump's administration in the direction of Biden's foreign policy. Next, we're joined by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), a former Freedom Caucus chair, who tells us why he is considering running for Arizona governor. He feels that Arizona is at a crossroads, and he wants to wean the state off federal dependence. We go into great detail on the federal budget and the need to bend the trajectory of spending and health care programs. He is working hard to put transformative spending cuts into budget reconciliation. Biggs also discusses other potential opportunities to enact good legislation without the obstacle of the Senate filibuster.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Being the Republican House leader is a little like marrying Henry VIII. At some point, you're getting your head cut off.  But for now, Mike Johnson remains not just physically intact—but in a position of incredible power. Two weeks ago, Johnson was reelected Speaker of the House on the first ballot. Despite having only the narrowest of House majorities—the Republicans control the House by four votes, 219 vs. 215 Democrats—Mike Johnson was able to unite the Republican Party's warring factions—moderates, the Freedom Caucus, the Raw Milk caucus, libertarians, hawks, doves, and whatever Lauren Boebert is—behind him.  It was tough to pull off, as it would've taken only a couple of No votes to send him off to that Republican Valhalla where John Boehner chain-smokes and chugs merlot, Paul Ryan does push-ups, and Kevin McCarthy throws darts at a photo of Matt Gaetz. Now, Donald Trump will become president of the United States and Mike Johnson will have the task of shepherding his agenda through Congress. And because the Republicans control the House by only four seats, the Speaker might have to get very close to some moderate Democrats—particularly those with constituents itching for a tax cut.  Today on Honestly, Speaker Johnson breaks down this challenge. He talks about how the party moves forward with two different visions for America; why he thinks Biden was “the worst president ever”; he recalls an eerie experience with Biden in the Oval Office; and he even gives us a taste of his uncanny Trump impression.

Let's talk about the Trump's Freedom Caucus problem....

What is the plan? What will change? Republicans are squandering this trifecta with the same issues, the same approach to legislating, and the same loser arguments. Today, I broach the need to shoot down bad ideas from the administration and not take a “wait and see” approach after it's already too late. We're joined by Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), one of the Freedom Caucus members who penned a letter to the speaker demanding that we up our game on budget reconciliation. Burlison makes the case for reorienting the focus of the reconciliation bill toward transformational spending cuts. He is constantly thinking of ideas to fulfill the mandate rather than producing corny videos on social media like some of his colleagues. He also believes that health care reform needs to be part of the discussion. His plan is to negotiate directly with Trump rather than with Johnson. Learn more about your ad choices.

The House GOP avoids an embarrassing crackup, after two Republicans who initially opposed Speaker Mike Johnson switch their votes to him at the last minute. But the leaders of the Freedom Caucus post a letter afterward with a list of demands, suggesting that Republican disunity could return as soon as the House tries to pass a significant bill on spending or the debt.

Who writes these bills? What are their names? If we don’t know who is writing these bills who exactly is running the country. Trump taking shots at Chip Roy but why? Friction between Trump and Freedom Caucus republicans. Don’t get your hopes up that congress is going to finally cut spending. China has boats in Cuba, what does that mean for America?

Yesterday was one of the greatest days in the history of conservative media. Finally, we had everyone united behind blowing up a bad budget bill. Sadly, Trump came in and tossed an interception by demanding an even worse bill with no spending offsets and suspending the debt limit. I make the case for why that is a terrible idea and why it is a harbinger of things to come with spending in general and other issues in particular. We're joined by Freedom Caucus member Rep. Eric Burlison to discuss his ideas to push for enduring spending cuts. He is proposing to devolve the debt limit authority to state legislatures. This is a brilliant idea and the sort of innovative thinking that the base must demand from Trump.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mike Johnson is betraying us with more spending even before Trump takes office. I explain why we need a fight over the speakership, but that will not happen unless we get Trump to change his legislative focus. Likewise, we are having similar problems in the red states. We're joined today by state Rep. Jordan Pace, chairman of the South Carolina Freedom Caucus, to discuss everything that is wrong with the state party. Under the leadership of Speaker Murrell Smith, Democrats have been given key subcommittee chairs. Pace explains with painstaking detail the subterfuge GOP leaders use to advance the Democrat agenda without transparency. They have a corrupt process of picking judges, which often results in placing liberals on the bench. Moreover, they continue promoting biomedical tyranny, pushing socially liberal policies, and handing over state lands to the green grift. In South Carolina and elsewhere, unless we support the Freedom Caucus members, the GOP will continue promoting Democrat policies without the Democrats owning the consequences.   Learn more about your ad choices.
