"Is this going to be in my neck or in my back? And will it be fast?" Those were Carob Marcelle Bartholomew's thoughts as she lay on the ground during Charlie Kirk's assassination listening for bullets whizzing overhead that tragic day in Utah.A homeschool teacher to 83 students and Utah State Director for Moms for America, Carob had been assaulted in the past in Seattle for holding a sign that said "character matters, reject CRT"—punched in the face by someone who "could have been a relative." Now she teaches her students that "the first place that you are enslaved is in your mind" and uses Peter Boghossian's techniques to get them debating everything from armed teachers to gun control, often keeping them 90 minutes past dismissal because "they're hungry for real conversation." After witnessing Charlie Kirk's murder, Carob organized a walk for students back to the shooting site, telling them to wear "I am Charlie" shirts because "another thing that we're constantly saying is our kids are resilient while we're watering them down and making them so weak and mentally fragile." Her message to anyone self-censoring: "I believe you have a right to say even the ugliest things. In fact, I want you to say the ugliest things because it gives me proof that it's happening." With her Mom's group declaring "I'm more in than ever" despite the violence, Carob's rallying cry is simple: "I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees." Check out Carob's YouTube channel “Be Not Afraid” at: https://www.youtube.com/@CarobMarcelle

Tara uncovers the forces shaping today's America—from welfare fraud and illegal immigration to the shadowy plans for global censorship and government overreach. She exposes how millions of non-citizens access SNAP, Medicaid, and other federal benefits, the strain this places on the economy, and the political motivations behind it. Tara also dives into the chilling blueprint for controlling social media and free speech, as well as high-profile White House scandals that mainstream media avoids. Insightful, urgent, and unflinching, this episode connects the dots the elites don't want you to see. From welfare fraud to free speech control—what they're hiding from you. Illegal immigration, SNAP benefits, welfare fraud, Biden administration, Afghan refugees, Somali refugees, Iraqi immigrants, economic policy, Trump trade deals, global censorship, free speech, Barack Obama, John Brennan, Michael McFaulk, Big Tech regulation, Brussels effect, social media control, Secret Service, White House scandal, Hunter Biden, investigative reporting, government overreach Tara delivers a comprehensive look at multiple crises impacting America today. Millions of illegal immigrants are reportedly receiving government welfare benefits, creating economic strain while limiting opportunities for Americans. At the same time, a global censorship initiative led by former Obama officials and international allies threatens to control facts, restrict social media, and silence conservative voices. Adding to the turmoil, Tara reveals a White House cocaine cover-up involving the Secret Service, raising serious questions about accountability at the highest levels. This episode exposes the overlapping pressures on America's economy, civil liberties, and national integrity, connecting the hidden stories that mainstream media ignores.

Tara exposes a chilling plan to reshape global free speech. From Obama's recent announcements to secretive international meetings, she unpacks how governments and Big Tech aim to control what is considered “fact” and limit public opinion—especially conservative voices. With examples from Europe, the UK, Brazil, California, and Australia, Tara reveals the looming threat of a worldwide censorship regime, enforced through legal pressure, market power, and digital backdoors. She explains why this matters for Americans and why free speech could soon be under unprecedented threat.

Tara dives deep into the twin crises shaping modern America: the threat to free speech under proposed global censorship regimes and the unprecedented social pressures facing Gen Z in a world where every private moment can go viral. From Barack Obama's calls for “new journalism” to international efforts targeting platforms like 4chan, to the chilling effects of viral humiliation on young men's dating lives, Tara exposes the stakes for freedom, privacy, and society's next generation. When censorship and digital shaming collide, freedom and trust hang by a thread. In this episode, Tara examines the growing threats to free speech in the U.S., highlighting efforts by political and global actors to establish a worldwide censorship regime using social media platforms. She details meetings involving Barack Obama, John Brennan, European officials, and tech leaders, revealing plans for a centralized international oversight of digital content. Simultaneously, Tara explores how social media is reshaping the lives of young men, who now face public humiliation for everyday interactions, from asking someone out to private conversations. These viral moments create mistrust, defensiveness, and an erosion of personal confidence, while the fear of exposure fundamentally alters social behavior. Tara connects the dots between political censorship and digital culture, illustrating how both are transforming freedom, privacy, and social trust for all generations.

I predicted the shutdown would end by November 1, and I'm sticking to it. That the day people on the gubmint dole will revolt if they can't feed their morbidly obese children.The fattest country in the world won't stand not eating. And Democrats know this. They thought they could pressure Trump, but he knew the fatties would revolt.What an opportune time to put fat welfare recipients on a diet. Shouldn't there be a weight limit for people getting free food?Shouldn't you have to pass a fitness test or something? Heck, they don't work, so at the very least you should be required to do something to keep your weight down.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We continue our discussion on the shutdown, and I betting it will end soon. Next, we discussed why Bill Gates walked back his stance on climate farce. Had he been threatened. Also, we discussed gerrymandering, and proved that Democrats are the scurrilous creatures I've said they areSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Todd breaks down the ongoing government shutdown and plays soundbites you need to hear—Democratic leaders acknowledging the shutdown as “leverage.” Hear clips from Rep. Catherine Clark, Sen. Chris Coons, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse as Todd explains why the Senate stalemate is intentional and how SNAP benefits are being used in the narrative. We also touch on media accountability, the “truth police” idea floated by Obama, and the entitlement mindset fueling social-media threats. Straight talk on the Constitution, liberty, and what it will take to end the Schumer-led stalemate—plus a reminder to stay grounded in truth, not fear.

This is my recent speech from Lugano Plan ₿ Forum where I discussed the escalating free speech crisis across Europe. I explore how Switzerland's famed neutrality is challenged by new authoritarian trends, exemplified by the prosecution of Emmanuel Brunischolz for a social media post, and draw parallels with Germany's raids on online speech, French digital censorship, and Britain's growing crackdown on jokes, memes, and even silent prayer. I also delve into historical precedents of European censorship, from blasphemy laws to the Inquisition, and highlight why Bitcoin and cryptography represent crucial new frontiers in the ongoing fight for liberty. Whether you care about digital rights, liberty, or decentralisation, this talk underscores the urgent need to protect every remaining territory of freedom in the face of modern censorship.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Today we're talking about the growing controversy surrounding America's relationship with Israel, and the disturbing pattern of censorship that follows anyone who dares to even question it. Why are discussions about foreign influence and government transparency being shut down? Why are prominent voices silenced the moment they speak against powerful interests? We're asking the uncomfortable questions no one in the mainstream media wants to touch, from the suppression of speech to the "alliances" shaping U.S. policy, and praising those few, like Candace Owens, who refuse to back down in the pursuit of real justice and truth.This episode isn't about taking sides, it's about demanding honesty, accountability, and the freedom to ask hard questions without fear.

Episode 4887: What To Expect With The Trump Xi Meeting; Biden Admins Attacks On Free Speech

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Scott Blackburn, a First Amendment policy expert, to explore how state lawmakers are quietly chipping away at free speech and donor privacy. Blackburn explains how proposed laws across the country could expose nonprofit donors, chill civic participation, and give politicians new tools to silence their critics. He also breaks down the growing wave of legislation aimed at regulating AI in political speech—and how vague definitions could turn simple campaign graphics or video edits into “AI manipulation.” From New Mexico's one-word bill that nearly forced every charity to reveal its supporters to efforts that disguise domestic disclosure mandates as “foreign interference” bans, Blackburn shows how these measures threaten the fundamental right to speak and associate freely. Tune in as American Potential reveals what's really at stake in the fight to protect privacy, free expression, and the open exchange of ideas.

I discussed Stephen A Smith, because I'm tired of these so-called “independents” with big mouths and followings who pretend to be reasonable at times, then support Democrats.

There's something especially tragic about watching a man confuse volume for virtue. And while there are many, I will begin with Stephen A. Smith.ESPN's resident oracle of outrage, has mastered that art. He doesn't speak—he detonates. But behind all that smoke, there's no substance, only the lingering smell of self-importance.Smith has turned sports commentary into a one-man sermon on selective morality. He wants to be part political analyst, part preacher, and part civil rights icon—but all you really get is a middle-aged man trying to stay relevant by shouting into the political void.Let's rewind to the moment Smith went full Leftist hall monitor: his public crucifixion of Kyrie Irving for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.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 conversation on The Jiggy Jaguar Program, I confront the deeper moral question behind Secretary of State Marco Rubio's decision to revoke visas for non-citizens who celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk. This isn't just a political move—it's a reflection of how far a nation can drift when life itself loses sacred value. When the death of a man who stood for truth is met with applause, we must ask whether we're witnessing justice or judgment.

Are Americans concerned about political violence? AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a new poll.

This hour, Ian Hoch addresses Gov. Landry's call to "look into Loyola" after the university denies recognition of a chapter of Turning Point USA.

In this episode, Lee dives into the hyperbolic claims from Democratic leaders and the mainstream media about the supposed threats to free speech and the rise of a “dictatorship” in America. From DNC Chairman Ken Martin warning about a “break the glass” moment to Joe Biden framing minor late-night disruptions as evidence of grave free speech crises, the episode examines the overblown narrative. The discussion also explores Elon Musk's battles with the DOJ, government pressure on tech platforms, and the broader context of political overreach. Listeners get a critical look at how claims of authoritarianism are exaggerated while historical and factual context is ignored.

President Biden resurfaces to warn Americans of “dark days under Trump” — but Tara exposes the real darkness already shadowing free speech under his own administration. From Mark Zuckerberg's revelations about government pressure on Facebook to Elon Musk facing threats for allowing open dialogue on X, the hypocrisy runs deep. Tara takes apart Biden's appearance with Jimmy Kimmel, the so-called “victim” of a free speech atrocity, and revisits how Democrats weaponized censorship, investigations, and the media to silence dissent.

President Trump worked harder than all the Democrats in Congress over the weekend. He addressed America's issues, domestic and foreign.There was no kicking the can down the road. Why kick the can, when you can smash the can?We closed last week with a stock market high, and it's going to keep going up. I predict the shutdown will end this week, and Democrats will cave. And there are plenty of warnings for the Democrats to do ACT!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I mentioned that President Trump is a businessman. Think about what his second term brings.The man who was successful in business, got a peek at everything during his first term. He then got dethroned in the coup.He had 4 years to look at the private sector with the understanding of the public sector, and now he's seen it all.He gets re-elected, against all odds, and now he knows how to run the government with the effectiveness of running a business.What a combination?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is the inaugural forum in The Kathryn J. Lincoln Series, a new annual series being presented in partnership with Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.rnrnFor the last several years, LAND studio, in collaboration with the North Coast Waterfront Development Corporation (NCWDC), has attempted to pin down an elusive solution that connects the city to its lakefront. Announced in 2023, the North Coast master plan was developed after numerous workshops, public forums, and community input. This summer, the project secured $960,000 from the Department of Transportation's BUILD program through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.rnrnNow, the project has wrapped the planning phase and is firmly entering the next era-it's time to do the work. Looking at peer cities that are further along in their own waterfront projects, what best practices can we learn, how were they successful, and how can we all prepare to get the job done?

Hour 4 opens with reaction to President Trump's Asia tour including his visit to Japan meetings with foreign leaders and trade positioning against China. Marc and Ryan Wiggins then walk through the ActBlue investigation and allegations of fraud untraceable donations and stalled DOJ and congressional probes. They shift to renewed scrutiny of the Biden administration after a House Oversight report revealed the President has been using an auto pen for official signatures raising questions about cognitive fitness and the extent to which staff are managing his public duties and schedule.

In this powerful episode of The China Desk with host Steve Yates, UN Watch director Hillel Neuer exposes how China and other authoritarian regimes manipulate the United Nations from within. Neuer breaks down Beijing's long-term strategy to dominate global institutions like the World Health Organization, the Human Rights Council, and other Geneva-based agencies — using influence, intimidation, and propaganda to silence dissent.From the persecution of Uyghurs and Hong Kong dissidents to China's infiltration of UN NGOs, this conversation reveals how the ideals of Eleanor Roosevelt's original UN vision have been corrupted — and what can still be done to reclaim them.

Episode 38: State of Washington v. Meta Platforms, Inc.State of Washington v. Meta Platforms, Inc., argued before the Supreme Court of Washington on October 28, 2025. Argued by Robert McKenna (on behalf of Meta Platforms, Inc.) and Cristina Sepe, Deputy Solicitor General of the State of Washington (on behalf of State of Washington) .Background of the case, from the Supplemental Brief of Petitioner Meta:The campaign finance law at issue here has made it irrational and unworkable for digital platforms to carry political ads targeting Washington state and local elections. Major platforms have banned these ads as a result. The law tips the scales against disempowered political actors who need low-cost but effective digital advertising to communicate with voters. And the State has failed to justify that result under the First Amendment.In 2018, the State expanded the Fair Campaign Practices Act (FCPA) to impose burdensome disclosure obligations on “digital communication platforms.” The State now requires such platforms to maintain extensive information about any advertisement in the last five years that constitutes “political advertising,” and disclose this information upon request to any person or entity—anywhere in the world and at any time—within two business days. Candidates and campaigns, meanwhile, have less demanding disclosure obligations.And even minor noncompliance carries significant penalties for platforms: Based on its failure to timely satisfy 12 requests for information from just three individuals, Meta faces a $35 million judgment. There is no reason for Meta—or any other platform operator—to incur the threat of massive penalties (and high compliance costs), by continuing to carry ads that provide very little revenue. It is no surprise, then, that Meta and others banned Washington political ads from their platforms.Statement of the Issues, from the Supplemental Brief of Petitioner Meta:Whether the FCPA and implementing regulations violate the First Amendment because they impose unjustifiable burdens on digital communication platforms and fail to further the State's purported interest in educating its electorate about political ad purchasers and their expenditures through narrowly tailored means. See RCW 42.17A.345(1); WAC 390-18-050 (together, “disclosure law”).Whether a penalty imposed for violating the disclosure law's obligation to provide responsive information “promptly upon request” should be calculated based on the number of requests or the number of ads subject to each request.Whether a $35 million judgment against Meta for failing to respond to 12 requests with every piece of required information within two business days is an unconstitutionally excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment.Resources:Institute for Free Speech amicus brief in Meta v.

A Hitler-praising group chat. A government official with a self-proclaimed “Nazi-streak.” A swastika flag in a sitting U.S. representative's office.Those are a few of the racist, antisemitic forms of speech and expression tied to notable Republicans in recent weeks. Vice President JD Vance downplayed outrage over some of these incidents as “pearl clutching.”Meanwhile, President Donald Trump signed a memo designating groups like “Antifa” and Black Lives Matter as terrorist organizations. It's part of the administration's larger effort to crack down on what it calls a widespread left-wing conspiracy to carry out acts of political violence.In this installment of “If You Can Keep It,” our weekly series on the state of our democracy, we talk about the Trump administration and the fine lines between hate speech, violence, and political dissent.Find more of our programs online.

In the early 1990s, “woke” was "politically correct," "DEI" was known as "affirmative action,” and the term “cancel culture” had yet to be coined. The language was different, but the controversies of today were just beginning. In a 1992 episode of IDEAS, journalist Linda Frum took on the issue of free speech on campus. With notable guests like Dinesh D'Souza and Alan Borovoy, the episode tackled the issue of speech codes, tokenization, victimhood, and a culture of victimhood on Canadian campuses. We revisit this documentary, to see what's changed, what's the same, and whether the pendulum is swinging again. We'd love your feedback. Please fill out our listener survey.

You know what, folks? Beautification of America is officially underway. Trump didn't just win an election last November—he won an exorcism. Because when he came back to the White House, he didn't just bring in new drapes and better lighting. He brought Lysol, a hazmat suit, and a spiritual pressure washer set to “Biden Family Reunion.”Let's be honest, that place needed more than a cleaning—it needed a cleansing. The East Wing renovation is nice and all, but the real renovation started the moment Trump took the oath again. His first executive order? Ridding America of the stench of Barack Obama.

BTW, I missed the date. I said the government would be open by Oct 23.It's coming soon. I love listening to Jeffries get called to task over it, and complain that the president won see him and Schumer.

In this timely episode, Dr. Chloe Carmichael — clinical psychologist, USA Today bestselling author of Nervous Energy, and longtime educator — returns to Noggin Notes to explore why free speech matters in therapeutic settings and how self-censorship can damage both therapists and clients. We dig into the practical and ethical stakes: how open dialogue supports accurate diagnosis, trust, and psychological growth; how fear of controversy or professional consequences leads clinicians to self-censor; and the downstream mental-health costs when people (therapists or clients) silence honest thought and feeling. Dr. Chloe draws on clinical experience, research, and her work teaching clinicians to explain why courageous, curious conversation is often central to healing — and how constricted speech can worsen anxiety, shame, and isolation. Whether you're a clinician, student, or someone seeking therapy, this conversation is an urgent, compassionate case for protecting honest speech in the therapy room — and for noticing how self-silencing affects mental health in everyday life.   Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable.

In this hard-hitting interview on LI in the AM with Jay Oliver, Jeff Dornik exposes the dangerous blend of tyranny and hypocrisy driving Gavin Newsom's California. From AI “transparency” laws that actually expand state control, to reparations programs that weaponize identity for political gain, Dornik lays out how Newsom's regime represents the model blueprint for the far-left's national ambitions in 2028. What's unfolding in California is not random chaos—it's calculated conditioning, using technology, ideology, and emotional manipulation to erode freedom under the guise of progress.Subscribe to The Jeff Dornik Show on Rumble and never miss a show. https://rumble.com/c/jeffdornik Subscribe to my Pickax account today and get my hard-hitting, uncensored email newsletter delivered straight to your inbox. https://pickax.com/jeffdornik Big Tech is silencing truth while farming your data to feed the machine.

Love it or hate it, the freedom to say obnoxious and subversive things is the quintessence of what makes America America. But our say-almost-anything approach to free speech is actually relatively recent, and you can trace it back to one guy: a Supreme Court justice named Oliver Wendell Holmes. Even weirder, you can trace it back to one seemingly ordinary eight-month period in Holmes's life when he seems to have done a logical U-turn on what should be say-able.  Why he changed his mind during those eight months is one of the greatest mysteries in the history of the Supreme Court. (Spoiler: the answer involves anarchists, a house of truth, and a cry for help from a dear friend.)  Join us in an episode we originally released in 2021, as we investigate why he changed his mind, how that made the country change its mind, and whether it's now time to change our minds again.Special thanks to Jenny Lawton, Soren Shade, Kelsey Padgett, Mahyad Tousi and Soroush Vosughi.LATERAL CUTS:Content WarningFacebook Supreme CourtThe Trust EngineersEPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Latif NasserProduced by - Sarah Qariwith help from - Anisa Vietze Signup for our newsletter!!
