Podcasts about free speech

Photojournalist Nick Stern still has nightmares from the night an officer fired a flashbang into his leg as he covered the LA immigration protests. He's one of dozens of journalists assaulted, arrested, or deported in Trump's second term — a year that pushed the US to 64th on the World Press Freedom Index, its lowest ranking ever.In this episode of The Battle for Free Speech, Michael Fox is joined by Real News investigative journalist and Capitol Hill correspondent Taya Graham to map the assault on the American press: the rubber bullets and broken bones, the billion-dollar lawsuits, the FBI raids on reporters' homes, the jailing of journalists like Georgia Fort and Don Lemon, and the deportation of immigrant reporters Mario Guevara and Estephanie Rodriguez. Featuring voices from the Committee to Protect Journalists and the National Press Photographers Association, they trace how violence, intimidation, media consolidation, and the gutting of access all serve a single goal: self-censorship — the silencing of the press in the name of free speech.The Battle for Free Speech is a production of The Real News Network.Hosted by Michael Fox and Marc Steiner. Theme music by Michael Fox, Jordan Klein and Daniel Nuñez.

So here we are again, staring at the political scoreboard like it's a football game where one team keeps showing up with less than half their player, but still swears they're the team to beat.Let's start with the question floating around the room like a smoke alarm nobody wants to admit is real. Who's more motivated to vote? Democrats or Republicans?Because if you listen to the data chatter being passed around, Democrats allegedly lost something like 2.1 million voters during the Biden years while Republicans picked up ground. Now, whether you treat that like gospel or just political weather patterns, the narrative being built is clear: one side looks like it's tightening its boots and heading to the polls with purpose, while the other looks like it's misplacing its keys and calling it “a coalition strategy.”And motivation matters. Voting isn't a philosophy exam. It's a turnout machine. It's who shows up when the coffee is bad, the weather is worse, and the ballot line is longer than a TSA checkpoint in August.Republicans, right now, are being portrayed as the side that treats elections like a pit stop in a NASCAR race. Quick in, decisive, loud, and slightly suspicious of anything that looks like it might slow them down.Democrats? They're often described, fairly or unfairly, as the side that needs a three-part documentary, a focus group, and a mood board just to decide whether they're energized.Now layer in the political earthquakes people are talking about. There's the narrative of Trump tightening influence inside the GOP, where endorsements feel less like suggestions and more like gravitational fields. Even Republicans who used to treat him like a weather system they could ignore are now adjusting their calendars around his forecast.And depending on who you ask, there's talk of foreign policy wins being reinterpreted through wildly different lenses. Some say decisive strength, others say dangerous theater. Either way, the temperature rises, and everyone argues about who actually owns the thermostat.Inside the GOP, you've got the usual tension between establishment instincts and populist momentum, and the establishment is starting to look like it keeps showing up to a mosh pit wearing a necktie asking for quieter music.Meanwhile Democrats are dealing with a different kind of pressure. Border policy debates, crime narratives in major cities, inflation hangovers that still echo in grocery aisles, and constant arguments about messaging that somehow always ends in the phrase “we need better communication,” which is political code for “nobody agrees on what we're saying but we all agree it didn't work.”Then comes the fundraising ecosystem debates, where critics and defenders of major platforms like ActBlue get dragged into arguments about transparency, influence, and whether modern fundraising is a digital democracy engine or a high-speed blender for political cash. Everyone claims the moral high ground, and nobody trusts the terrain.So you end up with two parties telling two completely different stories about enthusiasm.One side says: “We are consolidating, energized, and expanding.”The other side says: “We are evolving, diverse, and structurally misunderstood.”And the voters? They're somewhere in the middle, wondering why every election feels like it was designed by two rival improv troupes who refuse to acknowledge the other is on stage.Here's the irony that keeps slipping through the cracks. If one side is really losing millions of voters, and the other is gaining, then motivation isn't just a talking point. It's the whole engine. Because elections don't care about speeches. They care about who shows up when nobody feels like showing up.And that's where this gets interesting. Because if the enthusiasm gap is real, it doesn't just shape elections. It reshapes strategy, messaging, and maybe even what “base” means in the first place.So the question becomes less about who is right, and more about who is willing to walk through the rain, stand in line, and treat voting like it's not optional entertainment.And that brings us to the real tension for tonight.If one party is gaining motivated voters and the other is allegedly shedding them, is this a temporary swing… or a long-term identity shift in American politics?Or put differently:Are we watching political momentum… or political erosion?And if voters are truly shifting this dramatically, what does that say about the issues nobody in Washington wants to admit are driving it?Call me on this one: Is turnout becoming the only poll that actually matters anymore? And if so, which party do you believe shows up more reliably when it counts? And finally, is the enthusiasm gap real… or just the most expensive illusion in modern politics?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is out there saying, “Italy and I never beg.” Strong line. Very cinematic. You can almost hear the orchestral music and see the wind machine doing its thing.But then comes the part that makes you tilt your head like a confused newsroom intern: the suggestion that the leader of the United States shows up, and somehow there's resistance to the photo op. With Donald Trump.Now pause right there. Because in today's political ecosystem, Trump could walk into a room, solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded, donate a million dollars to charity, and the headline would still somehow be: “Man With Opinions Causes Mild Atmospheric Disturbance.”So when Meloni says she doesn't understand why the President behaves this way toward allies, and that it's “a pity he doesn't show the same determination with the enemies of the West,” I have questions. Not rhetorical ones. Real ones. The kind that come with raised eyebrows and a slow sip of coffee.First, “behaves this way” is doing a lot of emotional lifting there. That phrase is like a diplomatic suitcase stuffed with assumptions, interpretations, and at least three editorial board meetings.Because what exactly is the behavior?Is it negotiating aggressively? Is it not doing the usual global handshake ballet where everyone agrees on everything in public and contradicts it in private? Or is it simply that Trump doesn't perform the “everyone is my best friend” theater that global politics has quietly standardized?And this is where the irony starts doing gymnastics.We're told constantly that Trump is unpredictable, brash, difficult. Yet somehow he's also the only president who manages to trigger simultaneous confusion and moral disappointment across continents for not behaving like a polite bureaucratic suggestion box.Meanwhile, the idea that leaders might not always be thrilled about photo ops with him gets treated like breaking news. As if international diplomacy is supposed to be a yearbook signing session where everyone writes, “Stay cool, best ally ever.”But let's step back into Meloni's critique: why not show the same determination with the enemies of the West?That's the part that sounds noble until you realize the assumption baked inside it. It assumes everyone agrees on who the enemies are, how you “show determination,” and what counts as effective action versus performative action.Because in modern geopolitics, “determination” can mean anything from sanctions, to speeches, to carefully worded statements that are strong enough to trend on social media but soft enough to survive translation.So here's the quiet question underneath all of it: are we talking about real policy disagreement, or are we talking about style disagreement dressed up as moral clarity?Because style is where things get interesting.Trump operates like a geopolitical highlighter. He doesn't just underline the sentence, he circles it three times and writes “FIX THIS” in the margin. That's not subtle. That's not delicate. But it is unmistakable.And unmistakable is something global politics often pretends it doesn't need, while secretly relying on it when things get messy.Now add the media layer, and the whole thing becomes a hall of mirrors with press passes.One leader says something. Another reacts. A third interprets the reaction. Then analysts interpret the interpretation. And somewhere in there, the original sentence has evolved into something that barely resembles its birth certificate.So when headlines suggest tension, disagreement, or “pity,” what I hear is something simpler: different expectations colliding in a very public room with very expensive lighting.And let's be honest, photo politics matters more than people admit. A picture with a world leader is no longer just a picture. It's a signal. It's a caption waiting to be written by someone who already knows the ending they want.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Great Lakes are home to 21% of the world's surface freshwater, and it's not just an environmental asset: it's an economic one. With a $6 trillion regional GDP, the region deeply depends on a flourishing water economy: the full range of economic activity that depends on, relates to, or is generated by water.

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Vaughn & Dr. Tankersley – As DNI Director Gabbard said in her statement, documents exposed Fauci's role in creating an authoritarian regime, and the truth was suppressed. "Go along or be punished... After years of lies and cover-up, Americans deserve transparency." It is past time for the judiciary to take bold steps in rectifying these abuses...

On June 10, early in the morning, FBI agents raided the homes of individuals involved in Palestine solidarity activism at the University of Michigan. As Yarden Katz and Stephen M. Ward report in Mondoweiss, “with help from local and state police departments, including the University of Michigan Police, the raids unfolded simultaneously in Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin…The case is now known as the Michigan Eight. The Justice Department indicted the eight defendants—five of whom are current or former students at the University of Michigan, and one of whom was a University employee—on multiple counts of severe charges, including “Conspiracy to Transmit Threats in Interstate and Foreign Commerce.” The defendants, all in their twenties, now potentially face decades in prison.” In this installment of our ongoing series “Police State University,” we speak with Kevin Zheng, a member-organizer and secretary of the Graduate Employees' Organization at the University of Michigan, and Grace Viscito, a restaurant worker and former graduate student at the University of Michigan.Additional links/info: Graduate Employees Organization (GEO) website, Instagram, Facebook page, and X pageLegal Fund of Michigan Students for PalestineYarden Katz & Stephen M.

We've got two hours to fill, and about two weeks' worth of insanity to discuss. The only challenge isn't finding material. It's deciding which dumpster fire to roast first.Because America has become the world's largest outdoor laboratory dedicated to answering one question:"What happens when people confuse feelings with facts?"Turns out, we're getting the results in real time.And it should come as no surprise for you that…We're winning.I know it doesn't always feel that way because every day the media serves up a fresh plate of crazy. But if you're seeing more panic, more meltdowns, more excuses, more finger-pointing by Leftists, that's not confidence. That's the sound a losing team makes in the locker room when the fourth quarter clock hits zero.We'll start in Arizona, where Governor Katie Hobbs recently got a rude awakening.Nothing says "I'm in touch with the people" quite like discovering the people have stopped listening.Then we'll stay in Arizona and talk about Senator Ruben Gallego, who appears to be discovering that campaign slogans don't make excellent life preservers when reality starts flooding the boat.We'll get into the details.Then we're heading to Chicago.Ah yes, Chicago.The city where politicians hold press conferences about compassion while residents play an exciting game called "Was that fireworks or gunfire?"Mayor Brandon Johnson wants America to know how committed he is to protecting Black people and transgender people.Wonderful.Meanwhile, forty people got shot over the weekend.Eight were killed.Apparently criminals didn't get the memo about the mayor's priorities.And here's the irony. Politicians who lecture us endlessly about safety somehow preside over places where safety has become a rumor.We'll break that one down for all its comedic value.Then we move to another fascinating story.The media versus Tesla.Specifically, the media versus Elon Musk.And I have a question.When did journalists become so comfortable attacking America's first African-American trillionaire?What? Did I say something wrong?I've been told identity matters.I've been told representation matters.I've been told success stories matter.Apparently they matter right up until the successful person refuses to vote Democrat.Now suddenly every Tesla is a menace, every rocket launch is suspicious, every innovation is dangerous, and every self-driving car incident gets covered like it was the opening scene of a disaster movie.If Elon were a progressive activist handing out electric bicycles and pronouns, they'd name airports after him.Instead, they treat him like he personally unplugged CNN.As a tribute to white folks, here is comedian Ben Bankas on being white…[X] Humor – Ben Bankas I Like White PeopleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We sit down with Dr. Steven Thrasher to talk about his new book, The Overseer Class; how our police state today evolved from yesterday's slave plantations; and why Dr. Thrasher has been blacklisted from academia after defending his students at Northwestern University during the Palestine encampment movement in 2024. Guests:Steven W.

Is anything sacred for Democrats when it comes to helping citizens.The short version is this: federal agents raided the home and office of LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, and multiple reports indicate the investigation is tied to LAUSD's failed AI chatbot project called "Ed," which was developed through a multimillion-dollar contract with the education technology company AllHere. Carvalho has not been charged with any crime, and the FBI has not publicly disclosed the full scope of the investigation. What happened?On February 25, 2026, the FBI executed search warrants at:Carvalho's home in Los Angeles LAUSD headquarters A Florida residence connected to education consultant Debra Kerr, who had ties to AllHere and Carvalho dating back to his time in Miami-Dade schools. Two days later, the LAUSD Board placed Carvalho on paid leave. On June 21, 2026, Carvalho resigned as superintendent, though he continued to deny wrongdoing. Authorities still have not announced any charges against him. What was the chatbot controversy?The controversy centers on an AI assistant called "Ed."LAUSD unveiled Ed in 2024 with considerable publicity. The chatbot was marketed as a personalized digital assistant for students and parents that could:Track grades and attendance Provide academic recommendations Translate communications into roughly 100 languages Help families navigate school services Carvalho championed the project as a major innovation for the district. The problem is that the vendor behind Ed, AllHere, collapsed shortly after launch.Why did it become a scandal?Several issues emerged:1. The company imploded.Within months of Ed's rollout, AllHere furloughed employees, entered bankruptcy, and ceased operations. LAUSD terminated the relationship after already paying millions of dollars toward the project. 2. The founder was indicted.AllHere founder Joanna Smith-Griffin was later charged with securities fraud, wire fraud, and identity theft related to allegations that investors were misled about the company's financial condition. 3. Questions arose about how the contract was awarded.Investigative reporting uncovered connections between AllHere and consultant Debra Kerr, who had longstanding professional ties to Carvalho. Kerr later claimed she was owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions related to the LAUSD deal. Federal investigators reportedly began examining the financial aspects of the contract and the relationships surrounding it. 4. Student data concerns surfaced.After AllHere's collapse, critics raised concerns about how student information was handled and whether proper safeguards existed for data collected through the chatbot. Is Carvalho accused of anything?Not publicly.That distinction is important.The FBI searches indicate investigators believed there was sufficient reason to gather evidence, but as of today:Carvalho has not been charged. Prosecutors have not publicly accused him of criminal conduct. The search warrant affidavits remain sealed. His attorneys continue to maintain he acted lawfully and was not involved in selecting AllHere as a vendor. Why this became a political storyThe optics are terrible for LAUSD.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome, folks!I've got good news for conservatives today. Conservatism is back. Not sneaking through the back door. Not hiding in the bushes wearing a fake mustache. I'm talking about kicking the front door open, flipping on the lights, and discovering that half the country was afraid of the dark for no reason.Consider what happened after Team USA beat Australia 2-0. The players stopped and prayed.Remember when they told us faith was finished? Remember when the experts assured us religion would be replaced by social media influencers and emotional support llamas?Instead, Team USA wins, prays, and much of the world cheers America. Imagine that. The same people who spent years telling us America was the villain suddenly found themselves singing our National Anthem. It's almost like people secretly prefer confidence over self-loathing.Meanwhile, down in Colombia, voters just handed socialism another eviction notice.Socialism has become the world's longest-running infomercial. Every season starts with promises of equality and ends with somebody standing in line for toilet paper wondering where all the economists disappeared.The Left keeps treating socialism like that ex who emptied your bank account. "This time it'll be different." Sure. And this time the raccoon won't get into the bird feeder.Speaking of things not working out, let's travel to New York, where a Pride organization announced it's dissolving after its drag queen founder was arrested on child pornography charges.Now before anybody starts hyperventilating, the point isn't that one criminal represents everyone. The point is how quickly the media's curiosity evaporates when a story points in the wrong ideological direction.These are the same people who can spot systemic injustice from orbit but suddenly develop cataracts when an uncomfortable headline appears.Then there's Los Angeles.Federal agents reportedly descended on Skid Row investigating allegations tied to voter registration fraud.Think about the symbolism.California spent years telling us voter fraud was rarer than a unicorn riding a bicycle. Then investigators show up on Skid Row like they're filming a crossover episode between Law & Order and The Walking Dead.You know what's remarkable?California will allegedly investigate whether you're sufficiently gay to qualify for certain diversity contracting programs.California businesses have to go through a “gay-certification” process to receive special contracts meant for gay-owned companies, Christopher Rufo of City Journal reported Tuesday. If these business owners fail to sufficiently prove their claimed gayness, they may face up to a year in jail, while California's vetting process for voters is practically nonexistent.That's right.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Father's Day.What happens when credibility becomes a commodity?When narratives matter more than facts?When the referees start betting on the game?Because that's where we seem to be.Source: Washington Free Beacon[X] SB – John Stossel on media suck-upsObama's Library Opens to the Sound of America ShruggingThe most remarkable thing about the opening of Barack Obama's presidential library wasn't who showed up.It was who didn't.Nobody.Not literally, of course. The television cameras found enough dignitaries, donors, former staffers, and professional applauders to fill the frame. But for a man once marketed as a political messiah, the public response resembled the grand opening of a new Department of Motor Vehicles.No protests. No celebrations. No national conversation.Just a collective shrug from a country that looked at the event and decided to reorganize its garage instead.The media desperately tried to present the ceremony as a historic moment. Yet something felt off from the beginning. It was as if everyone involved understood they were participating in a reunion tour for a band whose biggest hits came twenty years ago.And then Joe Biden arrived.Watching Biden at these events has become a uniquely American experience. It's like watching a tourist wander into the wrong wedding reception and decide to stay because the food looks good.At one point, Biden appeared to be searching for his granddaughter on stage. This is no longer surprising. Biden's public appearances increasingly resemble scavenger hunts conducted without clues.Somewhere in the middle of this search party, Barack Obama managed to perform his favorite political magic trick.He made Biden disappear.Again.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome, folks, to The Kevin Jackson Show!First, let me start with gratitude. Happy Father's DayI put out few tweets that I would like to share with you.Happy Father's Day to conservative dads. Somewhere a progressive woman is posting, "My dad is my hero," right before explaining why men are the problem.Holy Mother of Hunter, whatever else you say about Trump, at least he knows how many children he has and he accepted them all.Because "safe spaces" rarely stop an intruder, but a good father always will.America's world's most criticized demographic and its most relied-upon one. What a coincidence.For one glorious day, the war on men pauses for cake.My birthday was on Sunday as well, and thanks to those who sent well-wishes.Thank you to everybody who sent birthday cards, gifts, well wishes, and contributions to what I now lovingly refer to as "Operation Costa Rica."Based on the current balance, I believe I can spend approximately three days there, consume several meals, enjoy a few adult beverages, and possibly stand near a golf course. Actually playing golf may require a supplemental appropriations bill.But seriously, thank you.Melissa got me one of those see-through travel fund banks a few months ago, and I can literally watch the money accumulate. It's like a conservative version of a Democrat budget. The difference is my jar actually contains money.And I will tell you this. Every time I look at it, I'm humbled. I really am.Now...Thank you also for not celebrating Juneteenth.I know that sounds harsh, but hear me out.America already has a holiday dedicated to liberty.It's called Independence Day.We don't need a committee meeting for freedom.We don't need Liberty 2.0.We don't need Freedom: The Sequel.July 4th already covers the subject matter.The Left has become obsessed with creating boutique holidays the way Starbucks creates seasonal drinks.Every historical footnote gets its own observance, awareness campaign, commemorative T-shirt, and eventually a federal employee day off.Pretty soon we'll have National Day of Recognizing the Committee That Planned the Meeting About the Event We Already Celebrated.Meanwhile, the rest of us are waiting for fireworks and barbecue.Speaking of fireworks...We've got a full plate of crow to serve today.And Democrats are once again seated at the head table.Last week Barack Obama officially opened his presidential library.Now, Democrats treated this thing like archaeologists had discovered King Tut's tomb.The media acted as though civilization itself had reached a new milestone.I watched the coverage and thought, "Did I miss something?"Because from where I sit, this felt less like the unveiling of a monument and more like the grand opening of a very expensive explanation.Think about it.The Obama presidency generated so much mythology that eventually they needed a building to store it all.And the event itself had all the cultural impact of finding out what happened to Jesse Jackson.In fact, quick question:Where were you when Jesse Jackson's political relevance was buried?Exactly.Neither do I.The media keeps trying to manufacture nostalgia for things the public already moved on from.It's like watching somebody hold a high school reunion for a graduating class that never actually liked each other.We'll get into that story because there were moments at that event that were so awkward they deserve their own documentary.Then there's Jeff Bezos.And ladies and gentlemen, we may have witnessed something rare.A billionaire experiencing reality.Bezos apparently decided to say something that employees at the Washington Post did not want to hear:See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

STARMER GONE! BURNHAM CORONATION ? GENERAL ELECTION NOW!  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #KeirStarmer #AndyBurnham #LabourLeadership #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #ReformUK #NigelFarage  Keir Starmer has gone. But does that mean the British people should simply accept Andy Burnham being handed the keys to Number 10?  Jon Gaunt asks the question many voters are already asking: where is the democracy in all of this? Millions voted in a General Election based on Labour's manifesto and Keir Starmer's promises. If Labour now chooses a new leader with a completely different agenda, should the country simply accept it? Should Andy Burnham automatically become Prime Minister without a public vote? Or is it time for a fresh General Election so the British people can decide who governs the country?  We'll discuss: ✅ Starmer's departure ✅ The prospect of a Burnham leadership ✅ Whether Labour still has a mandate ✅ Reform UK's chances ✅ Nigel Farage's next move ✅ The future of Britain  Join Jon Gaunt  and tell us what YOU think.

On Monday's show: Three years ago, Texas Republican lawmakers approved a state law eliminating Harris County's chief elections official and allowing state officials to intervene and supervise elections here. We learn how the state is using the law to take over elections in some other, much-smaller counties.Also this hour: We hear the story behind the Houston-based nonprofit Love You Adam Foundation and how it is using some new approaches to prevent suicide.Then, an expert from the UTHealth Houston Neurosciences-Headache & Pain Center answers your questions about headaches and migraines.And, after some MLB players wrote Bible verses on the rainbow-themed hats they wore on a recent LGBTQ+ Pride night, we talk about athletes and free speech -- what they can say, do, and even wear on the field.Watch

Todd reflects on the growth of The Todd Huff Show from a bedroom closet podcast to a growing multi-platform movement reaching new audiences across radio, podcasting, and social media. As the show gains traction online, Todd shares what he's learned from engaging critics, the importance of understanding truth versus propaganda, and why so many Americans struggle to have honest conversations about ideas. He also reveals details about an upcoming book focused on what he calls America's "Cold Civil War" and the battle for the nation's future. This episode explores persuasion, liberty, free speech, conservative engagement, and why the fight for America's founding principles is far from over.

In this episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings examines a horrifying scandal in Great Britain has shocked the world. But the real story isn't simply about evil people committing evil acts.The real story is about what happens when institutions lose the courage to tell the truth.How did police look away? How did politicians remain silent? How did social workers, bureaucrats, and entire institutions fail to protect innocent children?This story isn't really about Britain. It's about a lesson every nation must learn.Civilizations aren't judged by whether monsters exist. Monsters have always existed. Civilizations are judged by whether good people possess the courage to stop them.the devastating consequences of institutional cowardice, the collapse of trust, and why protecting children must always matter more than protecting organizations, narratives, or political agendas.Truth matters.Courage matters.Leadership matters.And the future of every civilization depends upon whether enough people are willing to defend the innocent before reality forces them to.We're in this together.Believe it.For the Republic!Cheers. #TheRightSide #DougBillings #TruthMatters #CourageMatters #ProtectTheInnocent #LeadershipMatters #WesternCivilization #InstitutionalFailure #FreeSpeech #HumanityIssue #Podcast #ConservativePodcast #NewsAnalysis #CommonSense #ForTheRepublic  #fyp Support the show

Journalist Eoin Higgins was recently sued for defamation by a fellow journalist Matt Taibbi, who is subject on criticism in Higgins' book Owned: How Tech Billionaires on the Right Bought the Loudest Voices on the Left. The case was briskly dismissed by a judge and is now on appeal. The lawsuit was manifestly frivolous and is filled with irony, since Taibbi likes to present himself as a free speech champion.

Another segment where I show you Leftism at work, which means it fails. That was a trick. Leftists don't work, Silly!Leftism is LA-ZY!Trump is the KING of workarounds. Democrats try their skullduggery, and Trump kick ‘em where it hurts.How frustrating it is for Democrats to try so hard to stop Trump and he just gets more powerful!I see why they are INSANE and want to attack anything MAGA.Have you seen MAGA people fighting back? Literally knocking Leftists out.ALL OVER THE WORLD.The world is getting Trumpified!The Iran deal was struck. Will it last. If it doesn't, then Iran will have HELL to pay.Trump is not playing around. Democrats claimed that Trump gave into Iranian demands. Sure he did. We can believe tha.That information is as reliable as we didn't fund gain of function. Because how all winners work. They get you by the yin/yang then GIVE UPAnd why wouldn't Trump give up. Iran has no navy, air force.Buckle up, because today we're diving headfirst into the geopolitical equivalent of watching a bully pick a fight with the wrong guy… then spend the next round begging for his mommy while his wallet's on fire. Iran's out here sending more mixed signals than a Tinder date who can't decide if she's ghosting you or proposing marriage. One minute they're chest-thumping about their mighty empire, the next they're quietly hoping Trump doesn't notice them long enough to reload. I don't lose sleep over their leadership vacuum—seems like they've got about as much coherent direction as a room full of cats chasing laser pointers. But here's what I do know: you keep poking the guy who wrote the modern playbook on “maximum pressure,” and eventually you're not getting a sternly worded letter. You're getting precision-guided consequences. And let me tell you, the precision has been surgical. While the usual chorus of cable news geniuses and Leftist foreign policy “experts” were busy declaring Trump's strategy a disaster, he was busy turning Iran's economy into a cautionary tale for anyone thinking about messing with American interests.

Do Democrats really hear themselves, when they make the most asinine statements?That was a montage of Leftists who declared at one point that Elon Musk is stupid.And this was when Musk might become a trillionaire with just Tesla.Remember how they hated the man they used to love. The man who developed the first mass-production EV vehicle, revolutionized the car industry. The god of Green.Yes, the very same. [X] SB – Stephen Moore…How proud we should be. Great country…But as soon as he declared that he was no longer interested in supporting Leftist ideology, we learned how stupid one of the smartest men on earth is.Are Democrats even capable hiding their idiocy?Dinesh D'Souza tweeted:Notice how socialists never talk about seizing the wealth of George Soros or any of the other multi-billionaires who bankroll their operations. They would be praising Elon to the sky, and vigorously protecting his wealth, if he were politically on their side.And nobody illustrated that better than Elizabeth Warren.[X] SB – Elizabeth Warren on Elon Musk trillionaireHanging on by their fingernailsMore money, wealth…Not a fluke.

One group sees a guy who helped revolutionize electric vehicles, private space flight, satellite communications, artificial intelligence, robotics, and who knows what he'll tackle next.The other sees a tax form that hasn't been filled out aggressively enough.That's the divide.Conservatives tend to look at extraordinary achievement and ask, "What can we learn from it?"Leftists look at extraordinary achievement and ask, "Who allowed this?"And nobody illustrated that better than Elizabeth Warren.The moment Musk crossed the trillion-dollar threshold, Warren responded exactly the way your neighborhood HOA president responds when somebody paints their house a color she didn't approve.Not curiosity.Not admiration.Not even skepticism.Immediate regulatory panic."We need a wealth tax."Of course.Because in Washington, every accomplishment eventually gets translated into government revenue.Build a company? Tax it.Create jobs? Tax them.Invent something revolutionary? Tax that too.At some point they'll propose taxing ambition itself.The Left treats wealth the way medieval villagers treated comets.They don't understand where it came from, but they're convinced it means something terrible.And what fascinates me isn't Warren.She's doing what Warren does.What fascinates me is how many people share the same mindset.They see Elon Musk and think he somehow won capitalism's lottery.As if Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, X, and AI were all purchased at a gas station with a lucky scratch-off ticket.As if a trillion dollars simply appeared one morning in his checking account.No process.No risk.No sacrifice.No years of being told he'd fail.Just poof.A trillion dollars.The reality is far less magical and far more irritating to his critics.Musk spent years being mocked by people who have never built anything larger than a political mailing list.Tesla was supposed to fail.SpaceX was supposed to fail.Starlink was supposed to fail.His purchase of Twitter, now X, was supposed to be the business equivalent of driving a Ferrari into a lake.The experts assured us.The analysts assured us.The journalists assured us.The politicians assured us.At one point, the only thing growing faster than Musk's companies was the list of people predicting their collapse.And here's the remarkable thing.Every prediction failed.Every obituary was premature.Every declaration that Musk had finally overplayed his hand turned into another example of why the people making the predictions should never be trusted with lottery numbers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The other administration keeps the teenager grounded until the report card improves.And here's the part that really makes Leftists uncomfortable.The officials involved openly credited not just Trump's current term but his first term as well.Remember all those sanctions Democrats hated?Remember all those pressure campaigns they called reckless?Remember all the experts who assured us maximum pressure wouldn't work?Funny thing about pressure.Sometimes it works.Especially when the alternative is allowing a regime to keep funding terrorism while pretending they're interested in peaceful coexistence.The briefing described the negotiations as fruitful because of the degradation of Iran's economy and the scattering of its government.Read that again.The very conditions Democrats criticized were the conditions that produced the leverage.It's the geopolitical equivalent of complaining that a diet isn't working while standing on a scale showing you've lost fifty pounds.One official even joked that the nuclear portion was easier than expected because Iran now needs American technical expertise to clean up the mess.That may be my favorite sentence in the entire briefing.For decades Iran's leadership chanted "Death to America."Now they're apparently calling customer support."Hello, yes, we'd like help with the radioactive dust."That is not exactly the image of a conquering superpower.And perhaps the funniest part is watching the same people who spent years insisting Trump was a reckless warmonger now complain that he negotiated from a position of strength.Which one is it?If he's incompetent, why did Iran sign?If he's reckless, why is there a deal?If he had no leverage, why are the Gulf States celebrating?The administration says regional partners largely support the agreement because they viewed previous arrangements as empowering Iran to be a bad actor.Translation:The people who actually live near Iran preferred pressure to appeasement.Shocking.Apparently geography still matters.And while all this is happening, Democrats are left holding the world's most expensive collection of bad predictions.They predicted Trump would start World War III.They predicted economic catastrophe.They predicted diplomatic isolation.Instead, Iran is signing agreements that basically amount to:"We promise to behave."The same regime that spent nearly half a century telling the world it would never bend is now sitting at a negotiating table asking what it must do to regain access to markets.That's not victory.That's surrender with paperwork.And that's why the Left is struggling so hard to explain what just happened.Their entire narrative required Trump to fail.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today is ACTION PACKED. I know, because I packed it.Folks, I don't know what happened overnight, but all over America Democrats woke up, checked the news, looked at their fat investment account, glanced at the latest Trump approval numbers, and immediately reached for their emotional support animals and a prescription refill for Xanax.Because America is doing something that Democrats simply cannot tolerate.It's acting like America again.I'm going to find a Dem willing to come on this show periodically to debate their issues, because that will be fun.If I had one on today, I would ask him about our African-American trillionaire. Remember how Elon Musk was Public Enemy Number One for Democrats because the success of his company's IPO made him the richest man on Earth? Remember when every Leftist on social media suddenly became a self-appointed anti-trillionaire economist?Funny how that disappeared. One minute they were telling us Elon Musk was destroying democracy. The next minute SILENCE. Two reasons: First, Democrat voters noticed that all the people complaining were MILLIONAIRES AN BILLIONAIRES.Second, Leftists apparently looked at their portfolios, and they decided to shut their pie holes. Turns out it's difficult to convince people to hate success while they're cashing checks from it.Who knew?The Left spent years telling Americans that capitalism was evil, opportunity was unfair, merit was offensive, and achievement was somehow a form of oppression.Then Americans looked at their retirement accounts and said, "You know what? I think I'll take a little oppression if it keeps paying 18 percent."The entire anti-Musk movement got put in storage like a Peloton after New Year's.And speaking of things Democrats don't want to discuss...Did you see the CNN report about Independence Day?Apparently a shocking number of Democrats are less enthusiastic about celebrating America than the rest of us.I'm stunned.Absolutely stunned.The people who spend 365 days explaining why America is terrible have mixed feelings about America's birthday.Who could have predicted such a shocking development?Next they'll discover that Democrats really do like Nazis, as long as they're Democrats. But you know what? Something is happening in this country.The mood is changing.The confidence is changing.The energy is changing.And you could see it on the world stage.FIFA showed millions of people exactly what America looks like when it's operating at full strength.The infrastructure worked.The crowds showed up.The excitement was real.The world got a reminder that when America decides to host the party, nobody needs to bring a side dish. We got you!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There were literally 1000s of videos from people from all over the world and all walks of life LOVING America.That's all it took for them to experience us. One visit.One meal.One conversation.And decades of anti-American propaganda started collapsing like a cardboard submarine.Turns out reality remains undefeated.And thank God for that.https://nypost.com/2026/06/16/us-news/fbi-arrests-5-people-in-connection-with-drone-attack-plot-against-white-house-ufc-freedom-250-event/At this point, even the Iranians have to be impressed.Not by America's military. Not by our technology.Not by our economy.By Democrats.Because nobody in modern history has shown this level of commitment to a bad idea.According to reports, the FBI foiled a multi-stage attack planned for the White House UFC Freedom 250 event.[SEGMENT 2-1] Love to Hate 2[X] SB – Chinese cross burnerI want him gone right now.I think he should stand trialBy “end”, I don't mean the civil war.Lu…Lu protesting MAGA Christian nationalist supportersAnd when I read the details, I didn't know whether to treat it as a criminal complaint or the script for a movie that even Hollywood rejected for being too unrealistic.The alleged plan was to use explosive drones to create panic, funnel crowds into sniper kill zones, and then launch a second-wave assault on the White House.Let's stop right there.Because before we discuss politics, ideology, or motive, we need to appreciate the staggering confidence required to come up with this plan.You are talking about attacking the White House.Not a White House tour.Not the gift shop.The actual White House.While Donald Trump is there.Surrounded by Secret Service agents whose entire job description can be summarized as, "We ruin your day before breakfast."And that's before we get to the event itself.Of all the gatherings in America, they allegedly chose a UFC event.Think about the target selection. A UFC event. At the White House.Hosted by Donald Trump.Protected by the Secret Service.Covered by every camera known to mankind.And attended by people who consider getting punched unconscious a recreational activity.That's your target?That's like robbing Fort Knox during a police convention.That's like picking a fight at a family reunion hosted by the Corleones.It's almost admirable.Not the evil part.The confidence.The belief that somehow this would work.At some point in the planning meeting, somebody had to say, "What if the highly trained federal agents, military personnel, snipers, and professional fighters fight back?"And apparently the room responded, "Let's circle back to that later."What fascinates me isn't just the alleged attack.It's the silence.Can you imagine the media response if we had spent the last ten years watching one assassination attempt after another against Barack Obama?Imagine if there had been repeated plots, repeated arrests, repeated security scares.CNN would have a permanent countdown clock.MSNBC would have hired grief counselors.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the day of Donald Trump's inauguration—January 20, 2025—the heads of many of Silicon Valley's most powerful tech firms sat in the rows just behind Trump. It was a sign of Trump's deep ties to the industry and to these powerful individuals who are transforming how we communicate, and not for the better.  In this episode, Michael Fox visits Silicon Valley to try to understand the stranglehold that tech has over our media and our airwaves. Hosts Michael Fox and Marc Steiner dig into the ways media consolidation, social media, and AI are strangling our free speech, even as they claim to be liberating it—and us—with incredible insight from professors Todd Wolfson, Mary Anne Franks, Fara Dabhoiwala, Ramesh Srinivasan, and Jeff Cohen, the founder of the organization Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, FAIR.The Battle for Free Speech is a production of The Real News Network.Hosted by Michael Fox and Marc Steiner.

Today's podcast is titled “Free Speech: Campus Arrests and Deportations.” Recorded in 2025, host Jim Falk is joined by Paul Butler, a First Amendment attorney and partner at Jackson Walker, and Jeremy Suri, presidential historian and Mack Brown Distinguished Professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Together, they examine the growing pressure on free speech and academic freedom in the United States, from the detention of foreign students to the defunding of universities that resist government demands. Their conversation explores what the First Amendment does — and doesn’t — protect, and what’s at stake when those rights go undefended. …

The SPLC.A group that built an empire convincing America that racism was lurking behind every mailbox, hiding in every church pew, and apparently waiting behind every Cracker Barrel menu.For decades these people have operated the most successful race-based subscription service in modern history. Netflix charges you monthly to watch movies. The SPLC charges donors to watch imaginary Nazis.And now we discover that one of their top intelligence officials allegedly helped funnel $1.2 million in donor money to a white supremacist informant.Wait. It gets better.The alleged white supremacist wasn't just some random source.According to reports, he was allegedly her lover.You can't make this stuff up.The organization that made a fortune screaming, "The racists are everywhere!" apparently found one and said, "Come over for dinner."This is why I always tell people that Leftism isn't an ideology. It's performance art funded by gullible people.The SPLC has spent years publishing hate maps.They've labeled conservatives, Christians, family organizations, immigration reform groups, and anybody who believes men shouldn't compete against women in sports as potential extremists.Their business model was simple:Find racism.If you can't find racism, rent it.If you still can't find it, finance it.Apparently that's where we are now.According to the indictment, the Department of Justice alleges donor money was funneled toward people connected to groups the SPLC was simultaneously telling donors they were combating.That is the political equivalent of a mosquito control company breeding mosquitoes in the basement.Imagine donating to a fire department only to discover they're running a side hustle selling gasoline and flame throwers.The comedy writes itself.The organization that spent decades warning America about infiltration was allegedly infiltrated by its own leadership.The group that claimed expertise on extremism somehow couldn't detect it sitting across the breakfast table.And let's talk about the irony.The figure identified in reports is described as someone who became Director of the Intelligence Project.The Intelligence Project.That's like discovering the head of Weight Watchers owns three Krispy Kremes and a private chocolate refinery.Intelligence Project?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats have reached that stage where they find themselves in a bad poker game.They're smiling, bluffing, and pushing chips into the middle of the table. And they don't realize that everybody else can see their cards reflected in the sunglasses.That's where Democrats are right now.Everywhere you look, another piece of the machine is rattling loose. Not one thing. Not two things. It's coming from every direction.Election integrity?[X] SB – CA AG Ron BontaPresident Trump and his team apparently decided that if you're going to clean house, you might as well check the attic, the basement, and the neighbor's shed while you're at it. Colorado's Secretary of State Jena Griswold is now facing a federal lawsuit, which tells you something important. The conversation has shifted.For years, if you questioned election procedures, Democrats treated you like you had wandered into a Walmart wearing a tinfoil sombrero and carrying a pet iguana. Now suddenly courts are involved, investigations are happening, and people are asking questions that were supposedly forbidden just a few years ago.Funny how "conspiracy theory" often turns into "breaking news" after enough time passes.Meanwhile, over in Wackademia, where common sense goes to die and student loans go to reproduce, we've got another collection of stories that feel less like news and more like rejected sitcom scripts.A Denver school board unanimously voted to fire a teacher accused of making female students kiss each other and grading them on it.Unanimously.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Preston Davey & Child Killers  #PrestonDavey #JusticeForPreston #DeathPenalty #JonGauntTV #UKNews #BreakingNews #CommonSense  The tragic murder of little Preston Davey has sent shockwaves across the country, leaving us all asking the same question: Is our justice system failing our children?  Today on Jon Gaunt TV, we're tackling the debate that many are too afraid to have. When a crime is this horrific, is "life" behind bars truly enough, or is it time to bring back the death penalty for child killers?  Preston's story has touched the heart of the nation, but it's also ignited a fire. We need to talk about real justice, real deterrents, and whether the ultimate punishment is the only fitting response to the ultimate crime. I want to hear from you.  Has this case changed your mind? Is it time for the law to get tough, or is the death penalty a step too far? Join the conversation.

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.

[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.

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.

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+.
