Who would you rather be, a Democrat or a Republican?I have a lot to discuss and my theme for this hour is snakebit Democrats. They fall into every Trump trap, and in some cases they create the traps they catch themselves in.Did you think Epstein was over?In the latest, Trump is now a child rapist.In what is certain to qualify as performance art with subpoenas, the Clintons have agreed to testify before Congress.The question that immediately hit me? Why do we need both Clintons?I paraphrase the late Tina Turner and ask, "What's Hill got to do, got to do with it?"Is she Bill's moral support dog, there to fetch memories, play dead, and rollover whenever the word “Epstein” is spoken?Here's the straight-faced version, as reported by MSN.Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify in a House investigation related to Jeffrey Epstein. According to Bill's spokesperson, Angel Ureña, the Clintons “negotiated in good faith,” while Chairman James Comer apparently did not. The Clintons, we are told, look forward to “setting a precedent that applies to everyone.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Their biggest fear isn't disagreement, it's discovery. Being found out. And once that happens, everything becomes “dangerous,” “racist,” or “misinformation,” depending on which word fits on a chyron.The political left used to believe sunlight was the best disinfectant. Now they install blackout curtains and accuse the sun of hate speech. Because once citizens started recording what local governments were quietly tolerating, the spell broke. And that's the story Democrats cannot control. Not ballots yet, but cameras. Not voting machines, but iPhones. The age of the credentialed liar is being interrupted by people who didn't ask permission to notice things.Minnesota was supposed to be the wholesome Midwestern buffer. Turns out it's a case study. Massive fraud cases involving nonprofit abuse and taxpayer-funded programs didn't just slip through the cracks. They were marched through the front door, stamped approved, and waved along. The Feeding Our Future case alone involved over $250 million in alleged fraud tied to pandemic relief, with political connections that raised eyebrows across party lines.

[X] SB – Peter Navarro on steelUS steel production passed Japan for the 1st time in decades…https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/02/trump-india-trade-deal-tariffs.htmlThe U.S. and India have reached a trade deal and will immediately move to lower tariffs on each other's goods, President Donald Trump announced.Prime Minister Narendra Modi also agreed to buy American products “at a much higher level” as part of the agreement, Trump said in a Truth Social post Monday following a call with the Indian leader.Modi additionally committed to “stop buying Russian Oil, and to buy much more from the United States and, potentially, Venezuela,” Trump said in the post.He agreed to stop buying Russian Oil, and to buy much more from the United States and, potentially, Venezuela. This will help END THE WAR in Ukraine, which is taking place right now, with thousands of people dying each and every week! Out of friendship and respect for Prime Minister Modi and, as per his request, effective immediately, we agreed to a Trade Deal between the United States and India, whereby the United States will charge a reduced Reciprocal Tariff, lowering it from 25% to 18%. They will likewise move forward to reduce their Tariffs and Non Tariff Barriers against the United States, to ZERO. The Prime Minister also committed to “BUY AMERICAN,” at a much higher level, in addition to over $500 BILLION DOLLARS of U.S. Energy, Technology, Agricultural, Coal, and many other products.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The human body is an unforgiving truth teller. You can lie to your friends, your coworkers, your spouse, and even your therapist. But your body keeps receipts.A rational person understands this early. Eat decently. Move occasionally. Get checked out once in a while. You do not need to be a triathlete or live on kale smoothies. You just need awareness. When something feels off, you investigate. Tightness in the chest is not a suggestion. It is a warning label.Healthy people catch problems early. They adjust. They survive.Unhealthy people do something else entirely. They normalize decline. This is where the Democratic Party lives.If the GOP is a middle-aged guy who gets a weird lab result and immediately Googles it, schedules a follow up, and cuts back on sugar, Democrats are the cast of My 600 Pound Life yelling at the scale because it refuses to validate their feelings.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Department of Homeland Security has escalated immigration enforcement in recent months, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers conducting raids in Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, and most recently Minneapolis, where ICE agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens, Ren?e Good and Alex Pretti, detained countless citizens and legal immigrants, including multiple children.rnrnThose incidents have sparked widespread protests, bipartisan criticism in Congress, where Democrats have moved to block funding for the agency, and multiple lawsuits, including from the states of Minnesota and Illinois. A federal judge in Minnesota said that ICE had violated nearly 100 court orders.rnrnIn Ohio, Haitian immigrants in Springfield are bracing for ICE activity as their Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is set to expire on February 3rd; and immigrant communities across the state are facing increased anxiety over ICE enforcement in the Buckeye State.

Well, JPM and others have joined the billionaires pitching into these accounts. JPM will match $1000 for these accounts. I would have loved to have had an account like this. Imagine what this will do for some at-risk children.What about the appointment of Colin McDonald as Asst AG for National Fraud EnforcementNew DOJ position…We will dig into his role soon, but you know that Democrats are scared to death over this…The Grammys was on the other night. And its ratings were as expected. Down 9% over the previous year.And from what I hear, more of the same. A bunch of self-indulgent elitist airheads who can sing, all believing their hype.Nobody cares about the opinions of these people, and that's why they are losing their audience. Billy Eilish, Bad Bunny…who are these people anyway?The Grammys is a style show for entertainers. And the award means less and less as years go on.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I video of a friend of mine and he said, “God will keep enough strife in your life so you won't forget Him.”That line lodged itself in my ribs.Because I'm living proof. When I'm struggling, I pray constantly. I call on God with the urgency of a man whose oxygen mask just dropped from the ceiling. But the moment I hit a stride, a little success, a little comfort, God gets politely set aside. Not rejected. Just… postponed.And right on schedule, the next smackdown arrives.If people were honest, most would admit they've lived this cycle. Comfort breeds amnesia. Struggle restores memory.Now here's the thing. Everyone knows tragedy will occur. Jobs end. Relationships dissolve. Loved ones die. Businesses fail. Bodies betray us. These are known risks. They're written into the terms of service of being alive.And most of those things can be overcome in one way or another. But circumstances matter.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this powerful and controversial episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers are joined by Dr. Jeff Barke, a frontline physician who says he was threatened with the loss of his medical license for questioning official COVID policies and vaccine safety.Dr. Barke recounts how doctors who challenged government mandates, promoted early treatments, or raised concerns about vaccine risks were labeled as “misinformation spreaders” and censored across social media and mainstream platforms.The conversation explores:How medical dissent became grounds for punishmentWhy doctors were banned from speaking publicly about alternative COVID treatmentsThe role of government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and mediaInformed consent and the collapse of open scientific debateChildhood and adult vaccine schedules and the data behind themWhy Dr. Barke believes censorship is more dangerous than malpracticeDr. Barke also discusses his involvement with America's Frontline Doctors, the legal battle against California's Medical Board, and why he continues speaking out despite personal and professional risks.This episode challenges the COVID narrative, raises questions about vaccine policy, and asks whether free speech still exists in modern medicine.Understanding Hypophosphatemia: Recognition, Diagnosis, and TreatmentEndocrine experts distinguish Hypophosphatemia from osteoporosis & osteomalaciaListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

In this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol Markowicz sits down with Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article 3 Project. Chamberlain shares his path into conservative legal advocacy and explains why building a strong social media presence has become essential in modern politics and law. The conversation explores the inner workings of the conservative legal movement, the mission and impact of the Article 3 Project, and Chamberlain’s personal milestones along the way. They also look ahead to the future — from political trends to the surprising rise of self-driving cars — before wrapping up with practical life advice listeners can actually use.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we explore everything from missing teaspoons and land acknowledgments to capital punishment and medieval economic thinking. We examine what everyday shortages reveal about prices and incentives, debate China's use of executions for online scams, and unpack why symbolic gestures like mandatory land acknowledgments often collapse under scrutiny. We're also joined by Andrew Heaton, host of The Political Orphanage podcast, to discuss zero-sum thinking, inequality versus poverty, and why so many economic intuitions still haven't escaped the Dark Ages. Along the way, we look at profit caps, price controls, and the persistent temptation to treat economics like theology rather than systems thinking. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:28 Land Acknowledgment 01:30 The Curious Case of the Disappearing Teaspoons 03:31 What Teaspoons Teach Us About Prices and Resources 06:04 China Executes Online Scammers 08:21 When Capital Punishment Expands Too Far 09:51 Foolishness of the Week: Mandatory Land Acknowledgments 13:13 Free Speech, Property Theory, and a Faculty Lawsuit 18:32 Andrew Heaton Joins the Show 21:12 Economics Thinking That Never Escaped the Dark Ages 24:42 Zero-Sum Thinking and the Origins of Envy 27:37 Why Humans Think in Proportions, Not Absolutes 29:53 Inequality vs. Poverty 34:59 Greed, Merchants, and Medieval Economics 37:20 Why Price Controls Never Work 41:08 Theology vs. Economics 42:43 Why Profit Caps Backfire 48:09 Supply and Demand Is Not Optional 51:48 Systems Thinking vs. Witch Hunts 55:01 Why Bad Incentives Create Bad Outcomes Learn more about your ad choices.

From Paris to Australia to your smartphone, this episode covers it all:

A massive political fracture is unfolding—and it's not between parties, but inside the Republican Party itself.

A stunning escalation in the global war on free speech. ⚠️ French authorities, Europol, and cybercrime units are now investigating leadership tied to X (formerly Twitter)—alleging everything from algorithm manipulation to complicity in illegal content. But is this really about crime… or censorship? This episode breaks down why critics say the investigation has nothing to do with protecting children—and everything to do with silencing dissent, controlling algorithms, and punishing platforms that refuse to censor political speech. From the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) to threats of massive fines, extradition fears, and the targeting of Elon Musk himself, this may be the most serious threat to global free speech yet.

History is going to beat the hell out of Democrats. Not politely. Not with nuance. I mean the way we look back at medieval bloodletting and say, “You people really thought that helped?” The last decade of Democratic governance will be studied the way we study cults. Future students will ask, “Why did no one stop them?” and the answer will be, “Because anyone who asked questions was called a racist.”You can usually find common ground with almost anyone. Music, food, mutual hatred of airlines. With today's Democrats, common ground is impossible because they define themselves entirely by opposition. They don't stand for things anymore. They stand against Trump. Trump could cure hiccups and Democrats would condemn him.Look at what they oppose purely because Trump supports it.No tax on tips. Democrats voted no. Let that sink in. The party of the working class looked at bartenders, waitresses, and so on, and said, “We need a cut of that birthday gratuity.” They didn't even pretend it was about fairness. They just shook down the tip jar like a mob accountant.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There are moments in politics where rhetoric stops mattering, spin stops working, and even the media's usual fog machine can't cover what's right in front of everyone. Money is one of those moments.Not vibes. Not hashtags. Not street theater. Actual cash on hand and actual debt.And by the end of 2025, the financial picture for America's two major parties looks less like a rivalry and more like a bankruptcy court waiting room.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvUcUY1gPcgLet's start with the clean, indisputable numbers as reported by VoteHub and reflected in FEC filings.At the start of 2025, the Republican National Committee held $38.1 million in cash and zero debt. The Democratic National Committee began with $22.1 million and also zero debt. Democrats were already behind, but not catastrophically so. At that moment, the story could have been framed as “competitive.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Chloe is a clinical psychologist and bestselling author who's been endorsed by Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew, among many others. Her latest work is rooted in the idea that authentic self-expression can be a tool for emotional resilience, stress management, and building mental strength, not just a political talking point. She's presented her approach to top law firms and Fortune 500 professionals, but her goal is helping real people find clarity and connection in high-pressure arenas

One year into Trump 2.0, we examine the administration's record on free speech and how it compares to the president's campaign pledge to "bring back free speech to America."  We also discuss recent ICE protests, including the right to carry a gun and to film law enforcement, and what these encounters reveal about protest rights today.

Over the past three years, the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people has become a flash point for freedom of speech in the West. Expressing solidarity with Palestinians has given Western governments an excuse to crack down on dissenters. There has been intimidation and job insecurity at one end of the scale, through to brutal […]

The “fortification” narrative sold after 2020 framed coordination as civic virtue. What it actually did was normalize opacity. Georgia cracks that illusion. If one state's records fall, others will be demanded.[X] SB – Susan Voyles on 145K pristine ballots 1Eclipse for Biden. Referendum. Amendments.Pre-printed.This is why Democrats are frantic. Not angry. Not defiant. Frantic. Because panic is what happens when the story you rehearsed can't survive contact with paper.And here's the irony that should make every listener smile. The very institutions Democrats claimed were compromised are now the ones they fear. Not because they're corrupt. Because they're finally functioning.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Panic has a sound. It's not screaming. It's coordination. It's the sudden harmony of people who allegedly never rehearsed singing the exact same song at the exact same pitch, within hours of each other. Panic is when everybody insists nothing happened, but they insist it with matching bullet points, identical buzzwords, and the emotional range of a hostage video filmed in landscape mode.Democrats panic the way bad magicians panic. They don't disappear. They throw smoke, trip over the curtain, and yell “misdirection” while pointing at the audience like that's how illusions work. And right now, the smoke is coming out of Georgia, thick enough to choke every late-night “nothing to see here” narrative they've been dining out on since 2020.You don't need a search warrant to detect panic. You just need pattern recognition and a memory longer than a TikTok loop. Every time Democrats are about to be exposed, they stage something emotional, symbolic, or theatrical. Something that changes the conversation from facts to feelings. From ledgers to lenses. From questions to accusations. Enter Ilhan Omar, stage left, pretending to be assaulted in a way that just happens to coincide with the FBI rolling trucks into Fulton County like they're finally collecting the receipts nobody was ever supposed to see.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Don sits down with Brian Tyler Cohen to break down everything that happened and why it should worry everyone who cares about free speech and a free press. From targeting journalists for doing their jobs to chilling signals sent to newsrooms nationwide, this isn't just about one incident. It's about the dangerous precedent being set, who benefits from it, and what comes next if it goes unchecked.

In this special 23-minute episode of The Right Side with Doug Billings, we slow down the noise and restore a standard that built the American Republic: evidence over emotion, due process over mob logic, and truth over narrative.With the latest release of so-called “Epstein files” dominating headlines and social media, Doug walks listeners through what those documents actually are — and what they are not. From understanding the difference between allegations, investigative notes, and corroborated evidence, to explaining how real investigations work, this episode equips citizens with a clear framework for evaluating claims without becoming captive to viral narratives.This is not a show about protecting the powerful. It's a show about protecting the people — and the standards that keep a free nation free.If you care about justice, constitutional principles, and the survival of the Republic in an age of screenshots and outrage, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Support the show

Trump's team arrives at Davos like an icebreaker through champagne fog. Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick don't play footsie with the Great Reset crowd. They speak fluent America First. These two were not diplomats. They were enforcers.Suddenly the room temperature drops. These guys didn't show up to learn, listen, or harmonize. They showed up to explain how the world actually works. America grows. America produces. America wins. And we're done pretending we feel bad about it. The Great Reset crowd, who prefer America apologetic and subsidizing their failures, realize something horrifying: the United States is done being the adult child funding the family basement.The World Economic Forum, that fancy-schmancy gathering where billionaires pretend to care about the little people while sipping $50 lattes, just got a reality check from the Orange Man himself. Trump's team was unrelenting. "America First, baby!" Trump booms from the stage, talking about how the U.S. economy is roaring at 5.4% growth, inflation's down to 1.6%, and the border's tighter than a liberal's grip on their pronouns.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

States like Texas requiring proof of legal status to register vehicles aren't making a philosophical statement. They're applying friction. And friction exposes reality. When benefits stop flowing freely, migration patterns change. When rules are enforced, sanctuaries suddenly look less hospitable.That's why Democrats scream. Not because it's cruel, but because it's effective.Scam Artists Don't Like SpotlightsFrom Maine to Michigan, the pattern repeats. Medicaid agencies multiplying like gremlins after midnight. Daycare scams run by politically connected figures. Fake invoices. Fake businesses. Real money. Lots of it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trump's restructuring the world back to normal, folks. No more Great Reset nonsense a la Klaus Schwab and his cronies, where you own nothing and are happy about it. No more insects as food, and no-beef diets. [X] SB – Klaus Schwab on 4th revolution Klaus predicted smart traffic, smart (controlling) government, smart (controlling) cities. Integrated into an ecosystem driven by data. Everything would be monitored, and you will comply.These things have been occurring at breath-taking speed. A tsunami--digital, physical, biological…"Nooo, it's all a grift!" Stupidity on steroids, people. They're like that guy at the party who hates the music but you see his head twitching to the beat.Trump's message wasn't complicated. Countries should focus on making themselves great again. That single sentence detonated in Davos like a truth bomb wrapped in plain bacon-flavored-English. The global elite hate this idea because their entire business model depends on countries failing just enough to need them. The WEF isn't about cooperation. It's about management. They don't want strong nations. They want compliant ones. Trump looked at that system and did what he always does. He shrugged.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Desperation doesn't whisper. It bangs pots together at 10 a.m. on a weekday and calls it moral clarity.Democrats are not mobilizing kids because they believe in youth leadership. They're mobilizing kids because kids are useful shields. You can't criticize a policy if there's a 16-year-old in front of it. That's the theory, anyway. The reality is less noble and far more slapstick.These protests aren't designed to persuade adults. They're designed to distract them. Look over here. No, not there. Over here. See the signs? Feel the feelings? Don't ask about the money.Especially don't ask about Minnesota.Minnesota has become a masterclass in how quickly “compassion” turns into a cash piñata once oversight leaves the room. Fraud so widespread it makes Las Vegas look restrained. Medicaid scams. Feeding programs that feed bank accounts. Daycare operations that exist only in theory and billing statements.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A mystery liquid, a perfectly timed disruption, and a congresswoman who suddenly needed a distraction. Was this an attack, a stunt, or the cleanest case study in Democratic Deflect 101 we've seen in years?Before we talk about syringes, security failures, or the sudden appearance of a man who seemed to know exactly when to stand up, we have to talk about Ilhan Omar the political construct. Not the slogan version. Not the activist trading card. The actual figure who has spent the better part of her congressional career wrapped in controversy that never quite resolves itself, only pauses.Ilhan Omar has lived under a cloud for years, and not the poetic kind. Campaign finance violations that resulted in formal penalties. A marriage timeline that aligned suspiciously well with immigration benefits. Ethics complaints that pile up, get dismissed, and then quietly reappear in another form. Foreign policy entanglements that seem to orbit Somalia with gravitational persistence. More recently, questions about personal wealth that doesn't square neatly with a congressional salary, and a wine venture that appears far more energetic in press releases than in reality.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Minnesota is cold in January, but Minnesota politics is Arctic Apocalypse now. Snowbanks have nothing on the frosty stares directed at federal law enforcement and the journalists who spin every clash into instant mythology. In 2026, Americans watched two killings linked to federal immigration enforcement — back-to-back incidents involving Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti — and the Left still insists it's all a tidy packaged narrative of villainy and righteousness. Yet as details emerge, the story the Left sells looks less like journalism and more like carnival hall mirrors: warped, self-serving, and guaranteed to make you laugh if you've got any common sense tucked in your coat pocket.Let's get our bearings on the ground first.

In 2009, 246 people were victims of gun violence in Omaha, Nebraska. In 2022, that number was 121, reflective of a steady decline over more than a decade. That reduction in gun violence was the result of the work of Omaha 360, a persistent and consistent effort by organizations and leaders across the city who come together every week to share data, coordinate strategies, and respond to community needs. This work is paired with youth engagement, reentry services, and engagement with law enforcement agencies-supporting violence prevention from every angle.rnrnWillie Barney founded Omaha 360 through his work with the Empowerment Network, a community building initiative that has grown from an idea into a broad community-wide collaborative supporting efforts in education, workforce development, and housing. Douglas County, Nebraska's Sheriff's office was a key partner to the effort. Wayne Hudson--now Chief of Police in Shaker--helped to lead and support the work.rnrnMeanwhile, municipalities across Cuyahoga County have long sought to reduce gun violence. Recent years have seen emergency departments consistently reporting more than 300 gunshot wounds each year. And in 2025, County Executive Chris Ronayne appointed Myesha Watkins administrator of the county's Office of Violence Prevention, and the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas has recently created a new Violence Intervention Program.

In this episode, we examine proposals that would restrict or revoke U.S. citizenship, including the constitutional limits on forced renunciation, dual citizenship, and the government's authority to define who belongs. We discuss population policy, free movement in Europe, and Supreme Court precedents that constrain state power over individual status. We also break down a sharp drop in the dollar, revisit the failures of mercantilism, and touch on the cultural politics surrounding Bill Belichick and the Hall of Fame. We then turn to firearms, protest, and political hypocrisy, looking closely at gun violence data, international bans, and the selective application of constitutional principles. We close by exploring free speech, due process, religious freedom, and what happens when rights give way to raw power, from domestic politics to authoritarian regimes abroad. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:32 The Exclusive Citizenship Act Explained 01:16 Forced Renunciation and Dual Citizenship Risks 02:30 Could the Government Strip Citizenship? 03:47 Population Reduction and the “100 Million Americans” Idea 05:20 European Passports, Borders, and Free Movement 06:57 Supreme Court Limits on Revoking Citizenship 08:32 Compelled Speech and Constitutional Conflicts 09:46 The Dollar's Worst Day and Weak Currency Politics 11:17 Mercantilism and Why Economists Rejected It 12:51 Bill Belichick and the Politics of the Hall of Fame 15:34 Minnesota Shooting and the Second Amendment Flip 16:46 When and Why People Carry Guns 18:32 What the Data Really Says About Gun Violence 21:01 International Gun Bans and Substitution Effects 22:11 Protests, Firearms, and Political Hypocrisy 24:12 Republicans, Democrats, and Reversed Principles 27:39 Principles vs Preferences in Constitutional Rights 30:11 Do People Actually Believe in Free Speech? 31:35 Rights as a Defense Against Totalitarianism 32:14 Religion, the First Amendment, and Equal Treatment 33:58 The Taliban, Education, and Religious Absolutism 37:09 Why the Second Amendment Became Politically Unique 39:03 Political Violence and State Power 41:16 Due Process, Federal Force, and Law Enforcement Norms Learn more about your ad choices.

If Democrats were a stockbroker, this would be the moment they call you in a panic and say, “Listen very carefully… please don't buy Apple.” That's where we are right now.Because when Democrats start warning Republicans about the midterms, they aren't forecasting doom. They're confessing fear. This isn't concern. It's projection wearing a lab coat. It's like a burglar shouting, “You really shouldn't lock your doors tonight,” while already standing in your kitchen eating cereal straight from the box.Democrats keep insisting that immigration and ICE raids will be the electoral apocalypse for Republicans. That voters are going to recoil. That Americans will suddenly decide they love chaos, forgive crime, and feel spiritually fulfilled paying taxes so foreign gang members can treat the country like an all-inclusive resort with free court dates.And yet… they keep saying it louder. Slower. With hand gestures. Which tells you everything.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What I love most about Trump's style is for the most part it's unbending.And because of that, he's effective.Democrats are throwing everything at him, and he looks like Neyo in The Matrix.Imagine after Dems try everything and fail, then Trump starts hitting them with REAL justice.He's got the goods on Walz, Omar, Ellison, Comey, Big Tish, etc.Trump is on total offense.No more defending indictments, or language, or calls of racism…Trump is using a bulldozer to set his agenda.He tweeted about a call with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. How do you think that meeting went?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In Washington State, 42% of Black households have zero net worth. It's a statistic echoed in Black communities across the nation--including here in Cleveland. The legacy of historical policies like segregation and redlining has impacted both homeownership and opportunities to build generational wealth today. Now, skyrocketing rents and a shrinking housing supply have put homeownership out of reach for many. But what if it doesn't have to be this way?rnrnEmerging in 2021, the Black Home Initiative is a new regional effort based in the Seattle-Tacoma region that seeks to target the racial inequities at the core of the housing ecosystem. The initiative is powered by the Civic Commons through a large network of 122 public, private, philanthropic, and nonprofit institutional partners. Together, they focus on growing the pool of homes for purchase; supporting Black households who want to buy a home and obtain a mortgage; and improving collaboration to create a more efficient and effective ecosystem for Black homeownership.rnrnHow can we work together to grow wealth and build vibrant communities through homeownership? Join us at the City Club as Alesha Washington from The Seattle Foundation leads a conversation with Michael Brown from the Civic Commons on what we can learn from the Black Home Initiative.

Sam Tripoli joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation that dives into a recent court case being dismissed over misgendering, reacts to viral clips of someone trolling protestors while posing as a trans Native person, and breaks down why he's often labeled a “fascist” despite being firmly opposed to big government.

In this episode of The Right Side with Doug Billings, we go beyond the headlines to explore what actually holds a free nation together when protest becomes pressure, law becomes optional, and politics starts replacing moral limits.We examine the difference between grassroots movements and engineered activism, the role of institutions in shaping legitimacy, and why ethics must come before ideology in a constitutional republic.This is a long-form, America-first civic conversation about faith, freedom, persuasion, and the quiet strength of self-governance — designed to inform, challenge, and equip listeners who care about the future of the United States, not just the next news cycle.

Live January 28, 2026 | Yaron Brook ShowSeason 12 - Episode 22Iran; Trade & Immigration; US Dollar; Ukraine; AI& IP; Silence | Yaron Brook ShowFrom Iran to AI: Trade Wars, Dollar Decay, and the Deadly Price of SilenceThe world is drifting toward chaos—and too many people are staying silent.On this episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron cuts through the noise to tackle the biggest threats facing America and the West: Iran's ambitions, trade and immigration distortions, the weakening U.S. dollar, Ukraine's future, the war over AI and intellectual property—and the moral cost of choosing silence in the face of authoritarianism.Why does silence empower the worst actors?Are tariffs and immigration controls destroying prosperity?Is America sliding toward banana-republic status?And what happens when fear replaces reason?This is a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred episode connecting geopolitics, economics, technology, and philosophy—ending with a powerful meditation on why silence is never neutral.

It all makes sense now. In this jaw-dropping episode, the hosts walk listeners through a stunning mathematical breakdown that reframes American politics entirely. Drawing comparisons to historic liberation movements—from the Israelites to Gandhi's India—the argument is simple but explosive: this is not a divided country. It's an oppressed majority held down by fraud, manipulation, and elite control. Using newly released census projections, FOIA-exposed formulas, Supreme Court cases, and population migration data, the hosts claim Democrats are currently holding between 42 and 50 congressional seats that would not exist under an honest census and constitutional districting

What if the numbers don't lie—but the system does?

The crazies are out. And Stephen Miller, the Left's new Nazi said, “Everyone serious understands that the justice system is rigged. Far-left prosecutors, magistrates, judges and juries unhesitatingly shield their violent activists and gleefully imprison their political opponents. Unrigging the system is necessary for the survival of the Republic.”And he is 100% correct. If we had a justice system, then the Left would not behave as they do.Funny how Leftists will arrest a former president, then DARE the government to arrest them. Leftist have committed the most heinous of crimes. Assassination of Charlie Kirk, where thousands cheered that event.Multiple attempted assassinations of TrumpHow many innocent people died at the hands of illegals?Democrats have ruled conservatives with an iron fist, doing the most unbelievable things to us, and with immunity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I ran across the bloated carcass of Jack Smith. Apparently he got ran over and left to rot in a hot Arizona desert. The House took apart his "prosecution" against Trump. We learned why Smith is a failure. Funny that people listed his credentials, and at the top of the list is Harvard grad. That used to mean something. It was like the Nobel Prize, a Pulitzer, or an Emmy. Now all those awards are meaningless.Smith couldn't prosecute a parking ticket without turning it into a conspiracy thriller starring himself as the shadowy villain. This guy's guilty as a fox in a henhouse after hours, scrambling to bury his tracks deeper than a mole with a grudge. His big brainwave? Convincing the world that Trump couldn't possibly believe his own beliefs about the election—yeah, because nothing says 'ironclad case' like policing someone's inner monologue. "Trump can't think what he thinks," Smith basically argued, as if he moonlights as a telepathic hall monitor. But reality hit him like a freight train full of subpoenas gone wrong; the whole charade crumbled faster than a sandcastle at high tide. Democrats, bless their partisan hearts, flung themselves into the fray like lemmings with law degrees, defending this hack with the fervor of someone explaining why pineapple belongs on pizza. It's a masterclass in how far they'll stretch the truth to keep their narratives afloat, all while ignoring the glaring voids in evidence that could sink a battleship. And Smith? He wasn't just grasping at straws; he was weaving them into a noose for his own credibility.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
