Segment Rundown Cold open: Orlando Weekly wins — Tom and Dan thank listeners for voting them #1 podcast in the Orlando Weekly awards again (won every year but one), explain why the recognition matters for their small business, praise Will's Pub owner Will Walker for leaning into similar local promotion, and tease a story they're saving for Monday's BDM-only show. Nobody has it figured out — After a bit riffing on an adult-film parody, the group discusses chasing money and fame with Aimee, including the story of Pauly Shore once calling them for business advice and George Wallace still hustling decades into his career — the takeaway being that no one, however successful, ever fully "figures it out." Selling 10% of the show — Inspired by NFL teams selling ownership stakes (the Atlanta Falcons' $1.6B sale of 10%) and Mark Cuban's rise, the hosts joke about selling 10% of Tom and Dan and using AI to preserve their likenesses after death. Aimee's job buyout — Aimee shares that she's taking a voluntary severance from her 12-year job at a Medicaid-based insurance company, effective by May 2027, and has already lined up new therapy and contract work; the hosts joke about her stealing office supplies and the three of them starting an affiliate partnership. Neighbor bush feud advice — Aimee asks for help with an 11-year feud with an elderly neighbor over a shared, overgrown bush encroaching on her house; the group runs through escalating "solutions" (hiring a surveyor since overhanging branches can legally be trimmed, plant diseases/whiteflies, popping tires, a kindness gift basket) while Aimee also vents about the same neighbors letting their dogs bark late at night. Aimee's upcoming shows (first plug) — Plugs for Aimee's long-running Shit Sandwich comedy show (15 years, first and third Fridays, with Rue co-hosting), a free family show/class Aug 29 at the Melrose Center, an improv jam that same night at Stigma Tattoos through the Florida Comedy Collective, and a Sept 26 West End Live show opening for Johnny Pemberton (Fallout, Superstore, Pickle and Peanut). Marching band car wash fundraiser — Tom plugs his niece's Lake Howell Marching Band charity car wash, comparing it to his own high school band fundraiser days, and the group riffs on whether kids doing donation-based fundraisers should just be tipped for playing their instruments instead, plus a jab at cheap oversized "big check" charity photo ops. AI voice-translation app demo — Dan shows off an AI app that translates a video into other languages (French, Mandarin, Swedish) in the speaker's own voice with matching lip movement, demoed using Tom & Dan Cruise 2027 promo clips, sparking discussion of how fast real-time translation tech is advancing. Optimus robot speculation — Riffing on a detail from Tesla's Aug 5 earnings call (robots reportedly getting chips before cars), the hosts imagine owning a humanoid Optimus robot to drive any car and handle housework and yard work, while questioning Elon Musk's track record on self-driving promises. Costa Concordia documentary recap — Tom recaps a Netflix documentary on the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster (the captain's unauthorized close "salute" pass, the reef strike, 32 deaths, his botched response and prison sentence), tying it back to their own upcoming Tom & Dan Cruise announcement. Poop stories and Concrete Mike call — A riff on awkward public-pooping stories (a "poop cruise" documentary, past guests improvising with towels) leads into a call from regular listener "Concrete Mike," who talks about using job-site dumpsters instead of portable toilets, becoming a new grandfather the night before, and hitting his 50th birthday. Aging radio personality tangent — A riff on an old colleague/bit going "full radio" and speculation about the declining health of an unnamed public figure known for hormone-replacement therapy abuse. Grave-niche theft follow-up — Dan describes keeping his parents' and family dog's ashes in an urn box in his wife's office, following up on a prior story about robbers stealing from cemetery niches. Caller: Tom's mom — Tom calls his mom live on air to ask, hypothetically, whether she'd help him commit various crimes (grave robbing, fake pest-control scams, driving a getaway car); she affectionately confirms she'd always back him, contrasted with Aimee's mom, who Aimee says would turn her in. Penn State cocaine ring story — Discussion of a news story about a cocaine trafficking ring run out of two Penn State fraternities, the alleged ringleader facing decades in prison, and a broader riff on drug legalization versus criminalization and treatment-based drug policy. Portland, Oregon tangent — A brief detour recalling an unsettling encounter with an intimidating stranger during a past trip to Portland, comparing its street culture to Orlando's. World's oldest person story — Discussion of the new Guinness World Record holder for oldest living person (a British woman turning 117) and the extraordinary span of history she's lived through — the Great Depression, WWII, the moon landing, the invention of the internet, two pandemics, and the Titanic sinking. Aimee's C-section story — Aimee shares her emergency C-section experience, including the surgical team nicking her breech baby's toe and playing an unwanted song during the procedure, plus a listener's story about a relative's more serious, complicated C-section. Future medicine and tech nostalgia — Closing speculation about longevity advances (cancer vaccines, genetic screening at birth) alongside early-technology nostalgia, including Dan's dad's status-symbol car phone. Show close and plugs — Final recap of Aimee's upcoming shows, a tease that BDM members will hear a special story on Monday's show, and a note that a full Tom & Dan Cruise announcement is coming soon.

Send us Fan MailA comedy club opening in a restaurant basement doesn't sound like the start of history, until you remember what stand-up felt like in 1980: new, hot, and so alive that every seat mattered. We're celebrating the 40th anniversary of Laughs Unlimited by bringing back our first headliner, George Wallace, and letting him tell the story in his own voice. The memories are specific and vivid, from sold-out crowds in Old Sacramento to the early days of comics who would soon become legends.George breaks down the real work behind a long stand-up comedy career: learning rooms, traveling, building relationships, and staying funny without leaning on easy labels. We talk about the early club circuit, Gary Shandling on the bill, and why treating comics with respect was never “extra” but the whole foundation of a great comedy scene. If you love comedy club history, classic stand-up, and the behind-the-scenes reality of show business, this conversation is packed with it.Then we bring the receipts: an archival George Wallace stand-up set from 1983, featuring the energy, crowd control, and “It's A Crazy World” era timing that helped make him the Godfather of Comedy. We also catch up on where he's performing now, including his Las Vegas run, and why evergreen jokes can still hit decades later.If you enjoy it, subscribe to the podcast, share it with a friend who loves stand-up, and leave a rating and review so more people can find these stories.Hosted by: R$.

Alabama political history reveals that the rural Black Belt region of our state dominated power in Montgomery, both legislatively and gubernatorially, from the beginning of the Civil War through the 1960s. Beginning in 1861 and continuing through the George Wallace era, Barbour County had eight governors. That is an impressive historical fact and is why Barbour County is called the Home of Governors. It is a record that will probably never be broken. Barbour County's eight governors are by far the most. The closest are two counties that can boast three. One of those counties is Cullman.

Women Series. Episode #3 of 4. In 1954, the United States Supreme Court released one of its most important and revolutionary rulings: Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka Kansas, usually better known as Brown v. Board. The ruling overturned the infamous ruling in Plessy v Ferguson, the 1896 ruling that established the ‘separate but equal' precedent that made Jim Crow discrimination legal. The Brown ruling required that the federal government integrate public schools, bringing white and Black children together to receive equal education. While this story is often told as one part of a progressive and inspiring story about the Civil Rights Movement, a movement for rights that we now sort of all agree was good. But in reality, Brown v Board and the wider movement were met with extreme resistance from white supremacists. While white male politicians like George Wallace got the most attention, they were riding a wave of racism and resistance created and kept alive by white women. Today, for this episode of our latest women's history series, we're talking about the white women who fought back against the Civil Rights Movement.

The crew is hit with an unbelievable story about a dog discovered locked inside an apartment after its owners moved away, sparking a passionate conversation about animal rescue, fostering, shelters, and exactly how furious everyone becomes when people treat animals like disposable furniture.Then Florida once again proves reality is funnier than fiction when a 76-year-old woman receives a randomly assigned license plate that accidentally spells out "SQUEEZE ASS." Naturally, the crew spends way too much time imagining life inside a retirement community where everyone suddenly becomes interested in Nancy's new ride.The laughs continue with another packed edition of Crap on Celebrities featuring Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding updates, Blink-182 collectibles, Slipknot recording dozens of new songs, Lana Del Rey's upcoming albums, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, celebrity birthdays, Star Wars movie memorabilia selling for millions, and an unexpectedly passionate debate ranking every Christopher Nolan film ever made.Somehow the conversation also includes Batman, Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, Matt Damon, Al Roker, grandparents, Super Troopers, George Wallace preparations, and enough random detours to remind everyone why no meeting on this show ever stays on the agenda.If you love weird news, hilarious conversations, celebrity stories, pop culture commentary, and friends giving each other grief for absolutely no reason, this is exactly what you signed up for.Whether you've listened for years or you're brand new to The Rizzuto Show, Episode 169 delivers the perfect mix of ridiculous headlines, genuine moments, and laugh-out-loud conversations that have made this crew one of St. Louis' favorite morning shows.From animal rescue discussions to accidental comedy gold courtesy of the Florida DMV, there's never a shortage of material when the crew gets together behind the microphones.Thanks for making us part of your day and for supporting this daily comedy show.

Rizz is packing up for his only Lake of the Ozarks trip of the summer, Rose Gold Gun hitmaker King Scott sings some Simon and Garfunkel, and the hidden financial nightmare of competitive cheerleading. Between mandatory practices, travel tournaments, fundraising, choreography week, and enough expenses to qualify as a second mortgage, parents everywhere are going to feel seen. Rizz even reveals the absolutely ridiculous amount of money he offered his daughter to quit competitive cheer... and she turned him down.The conversation somehow shifts into whether America should finally stop changing the clocks twice a year, why permanent daylight saving time already failed once in the 1970s, and whether today's world could actually handle months of kids waiting for school buses in complete darkness.Then things take a turn only this show could make entertaining.The crew dives headfirst into what may officially become "Diarrhea Summer" after thousands of reported illnesses connected to contaminated lettuce. They break down the parasite behind the outbreak, why Taco Bell voluntarily removed lettuce from restaurants, how to tell the difference between ordinary food poisoning and something much worse, and why absolutely nobody is going to Taco Bell for the lettuce anyway.Naturally, that spirals into discussions about parasite cleanses, tapeworm weight-loss schemes, and whether anyone would voluntarily host a parasite if it meant fitting into smaller jeans.Because apparently that wasn't weird enough, Rizz asks the question no one was prepared to answer: if scientists could grow meat using your own DNA, would eating it count as cannibalism? The debate quickly becomes one of the strangest conversations we've ever had as the crew imagines Rizz Burgers, Learn Nuggets, Sweet Baby Rafe barbecue sauce, and whether farting yourself after eating yourself somehow completes the circle of life.The weird science keeps rolling as the crew explores why humans stopped eating other humans in the first place, the diseases that made cannibalism one of history's worst survival strategies, and how biology—not just morality—may have shaped one of humanity's biggest taboos.As if that wasn't enough, the second half of the episode becomes one giant food argument. Ketchup on hot dogs. Pineapple on pizza. Steak temperatures. Miracle Whip versus mayonnaise. Fried pickles. Cilantro. Black licorice. Banana bread with walnuts. Tomato sandwiches. Pickle juice. Nearly every classic food debate gets thrown onto the table, and everyone has an opinion they're willing to defend.Will George Wallace officially earn his third-timer status? .

Would you actually pay extra for an empty middle seat? Is Premium Economy worth it? Would Rafe really spend five grand for a business-class pod to Paris? The debate quickly becomes less about travel and more about the realities of being a large human trapped inside airplane geometry.Then the chaos truly begins.Rafe revisits some of the biggest comedy moments from the first half of the year during an unforgettable eMemorium retrospective. That means revisiting legendary fake productions like "Inner Shaft," celebrating the mysterious "Ozempic Penis" phenomenon, checking back in with the radioactive St. Louis monkeys and goat that somehow evolved into the "Lazy Entitled Millennial Monkeys," pitching Bravo's next hit dating disaster "Dukes of Haggard," and replaying Steven Tyler's heartfelt (and completely ridiculous) voicemail before Lern's surgery.As always, the crew somehow manages to make parody songs even more ridiculous than the news stories that inspired them.The episode wraps with this week's eMemorium honoring entertainment legends, remembering beloved local musician Bobby Rollins, catching a fake death rumor in real time, and teasing another round of Friday Fail Stories involving fake anatomy, bad criminals, and Instagram proving once again that some people really shouldn't have internet access.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.America already tried permanent daylight saving time.

In the opening episode of The Declaration at 250, Michael McConnell introduces former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and historian David Kennedy to ask a deceptively simple question: what does it actually take for democracy to work? Rice argues that the Declaration of Independence marks not the birth of democracy, but the end of tyranny—and that the real work begins afterward. Democracies flourish only when citizens build durable institutions: a workable balance of power among branches, an independent judiciary, and (often most crucially) a vibrant civil society that channels protest into law, governance, and everyday problem-solving. Drawing on her experiences—from segregated Birmingham to global transitions—Rice highlights how democracies fail when executives become unchecked (Russia) or when states are too weak to govern (Afghanistan), and how they can succeed when institutions gain legitimacy over time (Poland, Kenya, and examples shaped by external constraints like the EU). Kennedy responds by tracing the Declaration's promise of equality as principle, observed condition, aspiration, and enforceable law—while emphasizing the tension between democratic equality and a pluralistic society. He closes with a warning about declining trust in institutions and one another, urging renewed attention to civil society—the practical, local, often unglamorous work that turns founding ideals into lived reality.

[00:00:54] Framing the episode: What does democracy need to flourish? McConnell previews the episode's focus on democratic flourishing, featuring Condoleezza Rice with response from historian David Kennedy. [00:02:04] Rice: The Declaration ends tyranny; democracy is the harder next step Rice argues the Declaration is fundamentally revolutionary—overthrowing the old—raising the problem of how revolutions become democracies. [00:06:05] Rice: America's conditions, near-failures, and why separation of powers matters Rice describes the U.S. “luck,” the near-collapse under the Articles and the Civil War, and the Constitution's durability through distributed power. [00:11:37] Rice: Civil rights, law, and a “second founding” (1964–65) Drawing on personal experience and movement strategy, Rice emphasizes institutional change—litigation, amendments, and landmark legislation—as democracy's engine. [00:20:00] Rice: Institutions vs. culture—lessons from Russia, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Poland, Kenya, Hungary Rice rejects “DNA for democracy” explanations and shows how executive strength, civil society, and institutional legitimacy shape success or failure. [00:32:33] Kennedy: Equality's evolving meaning—and the civil society trust crisis Kennedy traces equality from Jefferson to the 14th Amendment and warns that declining trust and civic know-how signal weakening civil society. [00:42:52] Kennedy's question: “Spirit of constitutionalism,” plus depersonalization (social media/suburbanization) Rice defines constitutionalism as lived civic practice beyond paper rights; both discuss forces eroding community and shared institutions before closing.

Welcome to 1968: The Year America Came Apart. This is an episode of "The Realignment" a Hidden History Series. There are years in history that feel less like ordinary time and more like a fault line. Years where the ground beneath a nation begins to shift and the people can feel it, they may not understand what they're feeling, but they know something is changing.. For America, 1968 was one of those years. The country had already been changing throughout the 1960s. The Civil Rights Movement had challenged the old order. The war in Vietnam was growing more divisive. Cities were struggling with poverty, race, and unrest. Young Americans were beginning to question institutions their parents had trusted without hesitation. But in 1968, all of those pressures collided. And for millions of Americans, it felt as though the country itself was coming apart. I remember that year well. I graduated from high school in Houston in the spring of 1968 and entered college that September. Even in Texas, far from Washington and Chicago, there was tension in the air. Conversations about race, war, protest, and authority were no longer distant news stories. They were part of daily life. America was rapidly changing. And not everyone agreed on what that change should look like. Vietnam and the Collapse of Trust The year began with war. In January of 1968, North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces launched what became known as the Tet Offensive. Militarily, the offensive was repelled. But politically and psychologically, it changed everything. For years, Americans had been told the war was being won. Tet suggested otherwise. Television screens suddenly filled with images of firefights in cities, American casualties, and chaos in places many Americans had never heard of before. The war no longer felt distant. It entered American living rooms every night. Trust in government began to erode. Even respected broadcaster Walter Cronkite publicly questioned whether the war could truly be won. For many Americans, confidence in leadership was beginning to collapse. Martin Luther King Jr. Then came April 4th. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. The murder shocked the nation. For years, King had stood as the moral voice of the Civil Rights Movement, preaching nonviolence, justice, and reconciliation. But his assassination unleashed grief, anger, and frustration across the country. Riots erupted in more than one hundred American cities. National Guard troops were deployed. Smoke rose above neighborhoods already struggling with poverty and racial division. For some Americans, the unrest confirmed fears that the country was descending into disorder. For others, the riots reflected generations of anger and inequality that had gone ignored for far too long. The divide between those perspectives would become politically important. Robert Kennedy and Lost Hope Two months later, tragedy struck again. Senator Robert F. Kennedy had emerged as a candidate who seemed capable of bridging some of America's growing divisions. He spoke openly about poverty, race, and the need to heal the country. His campaign attracted young people, minorities, working-class voters, and many Americans exhausted by the war. Then, on June 5th, moments after winning the California Democratic primary, Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles. Another national figure gone. Another sense of hope shattered. To many Americans, it felt as though violence and instability were becoming the defining language of the era. Protest and Disorder By the summer of 1968, protest movements were spreading across college campuses and major cities. Young Americans marched against the Vietnam War. Civil rights organizations demanded deeper reforms. Groups like the Black Panthers emerged in cities across the country, reflecting growing frustration among younger Black activists who believed nonviolence alone was no longer enough. At the same time, police departments and local governments often responded with increasing force and suspicion. The tensions could be felt even in places like Houston, where concerns about policing, activism, and racial conflict became part of the atmosphere surrounding college campuses and urban neighborhoods. Then came Chicago. During the Democratic National Convention in August, protesters flooded the streets while police battled demonstrators in scenes broadcast nationwide on live television. Americans watched officers swinging clubs, protesters bleeding in the streets, and crowds chanting: “The whole world is watching.” The Democratic Party itself appeared divided and exhausted. And millions of Americans watching from home saw chaos. George Wallace and the Politics of Backlash Into that atmosphere stepped George Wallace. Running as a third-party candidate, Wallace appealed to Americans who believed the country was moving too fast, changing too much, and losing control. His campaign focused on law and order, resistance to federal authority, opposition to unrest, and anger toward political elites. While Wallace's earlier political career had been deeply tied to segregation, by 1968 his campaign also tapped into a broader sense of cultural backlash and working-class frustration. And millions responded. Wallace carried five Southern states and won nearly ten million votes. His success revealed something both major political parties would increasingly recognize in the years ahead: A large portion of the American electorate felt alienated from the direction of the country. Nixon and the Realignment In the end, Richard Nixon won the presidency. Nixon promised stability. Order. An end to chaos. His victory represented more than a normal election. It marked the acceleration of a political realignment already underway since the Civil Rights era began reshaping American politics earlier in the decade. Southern voters were beginning to move away from the Democratic Party. Many suburban and working-class voters were becoming increasingly concerned about crime, protest movements, and cultural upheaval. Trust in institutions  government, media, universities was weakening. The coalitions that had dominated American politics since Franklin Roosevelt were beginning to fracture. And the consequences of that fracture would shape American politics for generations. Looking back now, 1968 feels like more than just a turbulent year. It feels like a turning point. A year when millions of Americans stopped believing the future would naturally bring unity and stability. The old political consensus was breaking apart. New coalitions were forming. And many of the arguments that still define American politics today, race, protest, policing, media, nationalism, cultural identity, distrust of institutions were becoming impossible to ignore. For those of us who lived through it, even as young people stepping into adulthood, the tension was real. You could feel it. And in many ways, America has been wrestling with the legacy of 1968 ever since.

Be sure to tune in for an hour of pure, unadulterated laughter with one of the absolute masters of the craft.

Following the war, LeMay builds the Strategic Air Command (SAC) into a dominant force, though he struggles as a "fish out of water" in the political environment of Washington. He clashes with Robert McNamara and the Kennedyadministration during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the lead-up to the Vietnam War. LeMay's uncompromising approach leads to the infamous remark about bombing North Vietnam "back to the stone ages," reflecting his inability to adapt to changing public attitudes toward aerial warfare. Despite later being caricatured as a "Dr. Strangelove" figure, he never expresses remorse for the firebombing of Tokyo, viewing it as a military necessity. His legacy is further complicated by his disastrous 1968 vice-presidential run on George Wallace's segregationist ticket. Though he claimed he only joined to influence Vietnam policy, the move forever tarred his reputation, a mistake he eventually acknowledged by saying he was "a hero one day and a bum the next." 8/82016 LEMAY OFFICIAL PORTRAIT

This week on the Mark Levin Show, it's a huge mistake if a possible U.S. offer includes a 10-year moratorium on Iranian uranium enrichment. If true, President Trump should walk away from these terms. We should just finish of the Iranian regime right now because we'll never have this opportunity again. Next, the Democrat Party sides with Iran and terrorists, including Hamas and Hezbollah. Sen Chris Murphy posted “awesome” upon reading a false report that 28 Iranian ships had escaped a U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. Sen Chuck Schuer embraces candidates like Abdul El-Said in Michigan, who compares Israel to Hamas and campaigns with Hasan Piker. Americans will not tolerate elected officials rooting for the enemy. Later, in the spirit of George Wallace, Democrats in Virginia disenfranchised millions of voters through a misleading referendum on representation, which passed in a Democrat-majority state where most Democrats voted against Republicans having any seats. But the Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional on two grounds: the ballot language was utterly misleading and the legislature's vote to place it on the ballot violated state law. The judge issued an injunction blocking certification and denied a stay, with a final order forthcoming and immediate appeal expected to the Virginia Supreme Court. Should society grant our rights, privileges, and freedoms to individuals like Hasan Piker, who uses those rights to advocate the destruction of the United States, the murder of a senator and an insurance CEO, the celebration of 9/11 and October 7th, and the greatness of Mao Zedong, who killed 60 million people, while showing indifference to violence and supporting stealing. His entire existence is dedicated to destroying America in every respect. Yet he is welcomed at Yale, the New York Times, and by the Democrat Party. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, in the spirit of George Wallace, Democrats in Virginia disenfranchised millions of voters through a misleading referendum on representation, which passed in a Democrat-majority state where most Democrats voted against Republicans having any seats. But the Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional on two grounds: the ballot language was utterly misleading and the legislature's vote to place it on the ballot violated state law. The judge issued an injunction blocking certification and denied a stay, with a final order forthcoming and immediate appeal expected to the Virginia Supreme Court. Ken Cuccinelli calls in and explains the Circuit Court's decision. There are four significant state constitutional violations, any one of which could invalidate the referendum or the resulting map, as challengers only need to prove one flaw while defenders must win on all four.  Also, the Southern Poverty Law Center has targeted and maligned traditional conservatives for decades. After the civil rights era, it struggled to find enough discrimination under federal and state law to attract donors, so it created such discrimination on a grand scale. According to an indictment with receipts, the organization funneled more than $3 million in donor funds to extremist groups. It set up accounts with fake names to launder the money and conceal its involvement. Later, Dana Perino calls in to discuss her new novel - Purple State.  She also weighed in on the Southern Poverty Law Center which she called the greatest extortion scam in a long time by creating and inflating hate in order to claim credit for fighting it. Perino also emphasized that Israel's post-October 7 actions and recent intelligence gains have put the Iranian regime on the ropes, and Trump would ultimately finish the job.

He's a comedy legend, best friends with Jerry Seinfeld and has done and seen it all. Will be at the Comedy Zone tonight and tomorrow at 7 and 9pm!

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the ISIS attack in New York carried out by two young immigrants is unfortunately only the beginning of such incidents. Iran has pre-positioned hit squads because of the Biden administration's open borders and Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Mayor Mamdani's response to this terrorism was appalling. Then, for the media, and now for most politicians, what's most important is not winning this war against Iran AND ensuring it's not replaced by another monstrous regime, but the price of gasoline on a daily basis. Of course, when phony climate change policies were being instituted and drove up the price of gasoline, oil, electricity, automobiles, etc., we didn't get a daily barrage of such reports. But now, we even get charts and other graphics showing us the day-to-day increase in gasoline. If this military campaign is ended prematurely, and the second phase of ensuring the institution of a civil government is not accomplished, chances are this entire effort will be for naught. The economic, geo-political, and national security gains, which have been immense, and the stated goal of liberating the Iranian people, which initiated this process, could become a disaster in every respect -- including political. The ruling class elitists in Europe and America betrayed their countries by refusing honest debate about uncontrolled immigration of Islamists. These elites encouraged and allowed overwhelming border surges, motivated partly by Islamist strategies to conquer the West. In the U.S., Democrats pursued open borders, try to defund enforcement like ICE to build a future voting base of illegal immigrants. Islamists will vote Democrat temporarily before ultimately destroying both parties and taking over, as seen in parts of Europe, NYC, and Dearborn. The NYC terrorist attack is an example: two young Muslim men, inspired by ISIS, attempted to bomb an anti-Islamist protest, shouting "Allahu Akbar" but the devices failed. Mainstream media and Democrats downplayed or obscured the Islamist terrorist motive, framing it vaguely as devices at an anti-Muslim rally, condemning Islamophobia instead, and avoiding the truth of a near-mass-casualty jihadist attack, which the speaker sees as part of a broader pattern of cover-up by media and elites who tolerate or support such threats. Later, the SAVE America act is a no brainer and Democrats desperately oppose it because they benefit from fraudulent practices enabled by big-city political machines. Sen Chuck Schumer acts like a modern George Wallace by insisting everyone should vote—not just legal voters—allowing illegal ballots, double voting, or votes for the deceased to neutralize legitimate votes. Much of this fraud is allegedly legalized, making proof difficult and necessitating stricter statutes like voter ID requirements. The United States is a nation at war with itself, dividing Americans into two sides: patriotic, red-blooded citizens who love their country on one side, and elected Democrats in Washington—along with their operatives, Marxists, Islamists, the woke Reich neo-fascists—on the other. The Democrat Party policies undermine national security and sovereignty, such as opening borders to unvetted illegal aliens for years, allowing dangerous individuals to remain in the country. There are escalating attacks targeting Jews and Jewish facilities, such as the attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in Michigan. Then there's the shooting at Old Dominion University by a gunman was previously convicted for ISIS support. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Also, the Iranian regime is not finished off. Let's stick with the plan. Condition-based operations. The media and the Democrats will howl like coyotes no matter what. Any economic impact will be temporary. But the worst outcome would be a prematurely declare victory and the Iranian regime lives to slaughter and nuke another day.

Much of this fraud is allegedly legalized, making proof difficult and necessitating stricter statutes like voter ID requirements. Finally, Mort Klein, National President of the Zionist Organization of America, calls in and explains that that the United States would need to confront and attack Iran even without Israel's existence, due to nearly 50 years of direct hostility toward America. This operation must continue to dismantle the regime, protect American lives, prevent nuclear acquisition, and support Iranians desiring freedom, marking the end of past U.S. policies of delay and concessions.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Rep Hakeem Jeffries is the George Wallace of our time – he opposes the principle of one person, one vote. Blue states like California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Mexico have used redistricting to minimize or eliminate Republican representation, creating districts where Republican votes effectively don't count. This practice is unconstitutional, denies equal voting rights regardless of race or gender and allows federal courts to do nothing. Also, Virginia is beginning to criminalize opposition to Islam due to growing Islamist influence in Northern Virginia, where Democrats collaborate closely with Islamists on issues like zoning, school curricula, and employment. Sen Saddam Azim Salem is prioritizing a bill defining Islamophobia as a form of assault and battery, arguing it is redundant given existing hate crime enhancements that cover assaults based on religion, race, ethnicity, and other factors. Do these protections apply equally to all groups? Afterward, AOC, Gavin Newsom and Hillary Clinton trash our country overseas because they hate our country.  While our brave and patriotic military personnel stationed overseas are protecting the free world, they give aid and comfort to our enemies. And none of them have done anything for the betterment of our country. Later, tomorrow is the premiere of Mark's new video podcast - Liberty's Voice. This will complement the radio show and Fox TV program, aiming to expand reach, overlap audiences, and amplify the message.  Finally, Lt Gov Dan Patrick calls in to explains that Carrie Prejean Boller has been removed from President Trump's Religious Liberty Commission.  No member of the Commission has the right to hijack a hearing for their own personal and political agenda on any issue.

In this installment, Dan and Jordan check in to see how Tucker has been covering the ICE activity in Minnesota and find content that could accurately be described as a modern day George Wallace rally.

Senator Barry Goldwater, the Republican nominee for President in 1964, was in no way a virulent racist, like others in his era, including Bull Connor, George Wallace or Strom Thurmond.  But he reached a higher plateau in American politics and his views on ‘freedom’ were in direct contrast with those of Martin Luther King, Jr., who felt that until human and economic rights were secured for all, it did not exist in full form in America. Goldwater felt that freedom was in trouble because the federal government was usurping states’ rights and the rugged individualism, he espoused with his Western frontier approach to government. They embodied a modern clash of the civil rights movement and the conservative movement as they both gained momentum.  Clearly, in the short run, Martin Luther King, Jr’s. vision won out in 1964 when the Civil Rights bill was passed and Goldwater lost in emphatic fashion to Lyndon Johnson, winning only five states.  However, their differences have been embodied in our politics to this day.

He might not have made it into your history textbook, but Brad Berwick has recently emerged as one of the most controversial figures of the 1960s. While he may seem less impactful than LBJ or George Wallace, the fact that he sang a little ditty called "I'm Better Than The Beatles" has resulted in Youtube comment sections lambasting the former child actor. Listen to us listen to the song and talk about it - is it so bad to be Brad?

 COLD WAR RISE AND POLITICAL FALL Colleague James M. Scott. After the war, LeMay rose to lead the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and became Air Force Chief of Staff. However, his blunt, non-political nature caused friction with figures like Robert McNamara and JFK during the Cold War. He infamously suggested bombing Vietnam"back to the stone age," echoing his approach to Japan. In his 1965 autobiography, he expressed no regret for the firebombing, viewing it as necessary to end the war. His reputation suffered permanently after he ran as vice president on George Wallace's segregationist ticket in 1968. NUMBER 8 1945 OKINAWA

LeMay's Post-War Legacy — James M. Scott — Following World War II, LeMay ascends to command the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and eventually assumes the position of Air Force Chief of Staff, though he struggles to navigate the complex political environment and institutional constraints characterizing Washingtonbureaucracy and civilian oversight. Scott documents that LeMay never publicly expressed remorse or moral regret regarding the firebombing campaign, consistently maintaining that the campaign was militarily necessary to prevent a catastrophically expensive ground invasion of the Japanese mainland requiring massive American casualty expenditures. Scott notes that LeMay's historical reputation suffers significantly in subsequent decades due to his controversial "bomb them back to the Stone Age" rhetoric regarding Vietnam policy and his catastrophically ill-conceived decision to accept the Vice Presidential nomination on George Wallace's segregationist ticket in 1968, thereby associating him with explicit racial segregation advocacy and political extremism. 1930

In this week's episode, we tackle the concept of "ethos"—what people actually stand for versus what they claim to believe. Drawing parallels from the Cornerstone Speech of 1861 to George Wallace's segregationist campaign, we explore how America's ugliest movements had clear, comprehensible (if abhorrent) belief systems. But what about today's MAGA movement? Beyond rage and resentment, what do they actually stand for? (Short answer: nothing!)In other news, we can't resist highlighting the week's most absurd moment: Kristi Noem's baffling claim that ICE arrested "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" in Portland.As the hosts point out, we're apparently all Antifa's girlfriend now - a status that puts us in good company with many other "antifa girlfriends," including Blue Gal herself! Plus: Chicago's creative resistance tactics against ICE, and a game of "Pundit versus Pundit" you won't want to miss.Not safe for work.
