    Freedom Caucus Cofounder on the Insurrection Act. DJT Losing Independents. ICE Violated 100 Court Orders. Reps Fleeing GOP. Dems Defunding DHS. Gun Advocates Triggered. The Boss  > Nicki Minaj. Former Republican Congressman, conservative talk host, and one-time presidential candidate Joe Walsh is back—and he's not holding anything back. In this raw, unfiltered conversation with Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff, Walsh explains why he left the GOP, why he took the controversial step of actually joining the Democratic Party, and why he still considers himself an independent at heart. Together, they dig into the Republican Party's embrace of Trump, the fracture among conservative gun owners, and what it means when a lifelong conservative believes his former party is now an “existential threat” to American democracy. Rieckhoff and Walsh break down the unfolding ICE and Alex Pretti crisis in Minneapolis, including new video, a judge's blistering rebuke of ICE for violating nearly 100 court orders, and why the culture inside ICE is, as Rieckhoff puts it, “broken to the core.” They examine Trump's inflammatory comments on guns, the backlash from responsible gun owners, and what real conservative values look like in 2026. They also wrestle with a big question facing millions of politically homeless Americans: Do you join a party to stay in the fight—or reject both parties and go fully independent?​ From health scares and aging to staying in the daily grind of political combat, Walsh talks candidly about why he's still out there “raising awareness every day for where this country is at”—and why he thinks this moment demands courage, clarity, and a refusal to look away. Rieckhoff pushes hard on what it would take for Walsh to leave the Democrats and rejoin the growing independent movement—and what breaking with your old political tribe really looks like in real life. This is a fiery, funny, and deeply serious conversation for anyone who's fed up with both parties but refusing to give up on America Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

From state-level benefit fraud and voter roll manipulation, to billions siphoned through healthcare programs, DEI contracting schemes, and immigration loopholes, Tara connects the dots between policy decisions, organized unrest, and who profits. This episode exposes why Minneapolis became ground zero, how fraud money fuels activist networks, why enforcement triggers violence, and how weak Republican leadership enables the very outcome voters think they're fighting against. This isn't about left vs. right. It's about who plays by the rules — and who never has to.

Walz believes he has the upper hand making a deal with Trump but this is going to backfire on him and Frey. The people in MN are already upset. The D’s believe they can shutdown the government and use the DHS funding to do it. But the OBBB is funding ICE so this is going to fail. Trump has the leverage and he weakening the [DS] every step of the way. The root cause is being exposed to the country.   Economy Big Picture: President Trump and Trade Using the Art of the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Canada and the EU take trade and economic positions seemingly against U.S. interests. Simultaneously Mexico modifies all their trade positions to come into alignment with the USA. Yesterday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Mexico will no longer ship oil to Cuba.   When President Trump was asked about Prime Minister Mark Carney creating a new trade agreement with China, President Trump responded that he didn't care – it was irrelevant to him.  Yet, simultaneously inside the USMCA President Trump has the power to veto any trade agreement between Mexico or Canada and a non-member nation. So, why didn't President Trump care?  Easy, because in President Trump's mind there's not going to be a USMCA; so, he really doesn't care if Canada runs to violate it.  In real terms, Canada doing bilateral deals with other countries, especially deals potentially detrimental to the USA, only strengthens his position on dissolving the USMCA. If Canada violates the terms and spirit of the USMCA, it makes dispatch of the unliked trade agreement even easier.  Canada is helping President Trump remove the congressional justification they could use to block him.  If Canada is violating the USMCA (CUSMA), Congress is kneecapped from interference.

That repetitive exposure from them fatigues neural pathways but sustains heightened arousal, diverting cognitive resources from higher-order tasks to basic threat monitoring. It is an acute stressor, activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and sympathetic nervous system, which releases cortisol and adrenaline. Long exposure to this stuff impairs prefrontal cortex function critical for decision making. Pair this with the sheer annoyance, these tactics are a low-tech escalation of protest disruption, rooted in documented physiological responses to noise. In layman’s terms, they’re putting these officers on edge and triggering them to act. Pretti and Good was exactly what they wanted. It’s usually someone else who ends up dying and not the instigator. This is a great example. Watch the guy at the rear strike an officer against the head with an object. These officers, already on edge, are very likely to react to something like that. When someone ends up getting hurt, they’re all innocent. These events aren’t random.

She's tied into the donors, the nonprofits, the consultants, the media networks — all the gears that keep the Machine turning. And look at what she just did. She tweeted out that webpage directing people to donate through a foreign‑operated platform. That's not some innocent little share. That's the Machine signaling to its own network — money pipelines, global partners, and political messaging all moving in sync. She knows exactly what she's amplifying and who benefits from it. And this isn't new for her. Look back at Russiagate. Her campaign funded the Steele dossier — the spark that set off years of investigations, headlines, and division. Even after the whole thing fell apart under scrutiny, the chaos it created was already locked in. That's how the Machine works: it doesn't need accuracy, it just needs momentum. And she's been one of the people who knows how to generate that momentum better than anyone. So where does she sit in the Machine? Right in the core. Not elected. Not accountable. Still pulling levers through the same networks she helped build. She's not operating inside the Machine — she's one of the people who designed the damn thing. And that's why her name keeps showing up. Not because she holds office. But because the Machine still runs on the structures she put in place — and every time she boosts a link, a cause, or a narrative, you can see those old gears turning all over again.  https://twitter.com/julie_kelly2/status/2015963638096429102?s=20 https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2015941282237972649?s=20     President Trump's Plan  And we back you WHOLEHEARTEDLY in making it happen https://twitter.com/TriciaOhio/status/2015939758858371393?s=20   https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2015858856430055491?s=20   professional.

Defeat refers to actively dismantling the insurgent group’s capabilities—through kinetic operations (e.g., raids, airstrikes) to kill or capture leaders, disrupt supply lines, and degrade their fighting strength. Contain means preventing the insurgency from spreading or escalating. This could involve securing borders, isolating insurgent areas, or using psychological operations (psyops) to undermine their recruitment and propaganda. The “simultaneously” part stresses that these aren’t sequential steps; they happen in parallel. You can’t just “contain” without addressing threats, nor can you defeat an insurgency if it keeps regenerating in new areas. Key challenge: Insurgents often blend into the civilian population, making it hard to target them without collateral damage, which can create more enemies. 3. Address Its Root Causes Insurgencies don’t arise in a vacuum; they’re often driven by underlying issues like political exclusion, economic inequality, corruption, ethnic tensions, or lack of basic services. The definition insists that long-term success requires tackling these “root causes” to prevent resurgence. This might include reforms such as land redistribution, anti-corruption drives, inclusive governance, or economic development programs. Without this, military victories are temporary. For instance, historical cases like the Malayan Emergency (1948–1960) succeeded partly because British forces combined military action with resettlement programs and political concessions that addressed Malay grievances against colonial rule. Broader Context and Principles Population-Centric Approach: Modern COIN doctrine, influenced by thinkers like David Galula or modern adaptations, views the local population as the “center of gravity.” The goal is to protect civilians, gain their trust, and separate them from insurgents—often summarized as “clear, hold, build” (clear insurgents from an area, hold it securely, and build sustainable institutions). Challenges and Criticisms: COIN is resource-intensive, time-consuming, and politically fraught. It can lead to prolonged conflicts, human rights abuses, or mission creep. Critics argue it sometimes ignores cultural contexts or over-relies on foreign intervention, as seen in Vietnam or Iraq. Success Factors: Effective COIN requires unity of effort (coordination between allies), intelligence-driven operations, and adaptability. Metrics for success go beyond body counts to include governance improvements and reduced violence. In essence, this definition portrays counterinsurgency as a balanced, enduring campaign that blends force with reform to not just suppress rebellion but eliminate the conditions that sustain it.    https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2015886441063055779?s=20 patriots need all the support they can get!  Background on the “Big Beautiful Bill” and ICE Funding In 2025, Republicans passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (often referred to by President Trump as the “Big Beautiful Bill”), which allocated approximately $75 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over four years. This funding was separate from annual appropriations and effectively tripled ICE’s budget, providing a multi-year “slush fund” for immigration enforcement, including deportations.  This bill was part of Trump’s broader immigration agenda and bypassed traditional yearly funding processes, allowing ICE to operate independently of short-term congressional battles. Current Shutdown Threat and Democrats’ Strategy Democrats, led by figures like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sens. Patty Murray, Chris Murphy, and others, have vowed to block the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill in the Senate. This bill includes $64.4 billion for DHS overall, with about $10 billion specifically for ICE in the current fiscal year.  Why the Shutdown Won’t Defund ICE Even prominent Democrats like Sen. Murray acknowledge that a shutdown or continuing resolution (short-term funding patch) won’t restrain ICE. The agency can draw from the $75 billion already secured via the Big Beautiful Bill, allowing operations to continue uninterrupted under Trump’s “law-and-order” immigration crackdown.  A shutdown would primarily affect non-ICE parts of DHS (e.g., TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard) and other bundled departments, forcing some federal workers to go without pay while ICE remains funded and operational.  Republican Position and “Upper Hand” The White House and GOP leaders like Speaker Mike Johnson are not yielding, insisting on passing the full package without decoupling DHS funding. They view Democratic threats as ineffective since ICE’s core operations are protected by the prior bill.  The House has already passed the DHS bill with some Democratic support, putting pressure on the Senate. Republicans are framing this as Democrats prioritizing protests over essential services, giving the GOP leverage in negotiations.    https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2015946190219837842?s=20   themselves, and engage in thoughtful discourse and/or express outrage against the wholesale ridiculousness of not allowing the government to do its job and protect us…and they do so for months on matters that most would never have otherwise engaged in AND would otherwise slip out of the news cycle quickly.    The Supreme Court ends up taking the case and rules (correctly) in favor of his administration.

Gavin Newsom, the Ilhan Omar incident from last night, and the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.First, they welcome projections showing the next U.S. Census shifting the Electoral College map in Republicans' favor. Red states are expected to gain eight electoral votes, swing states one, while blue states lose nine. California is poised to lose four while Texas should gain four. If the projection holds, it could give GOP candidates an easier path to the White House starting n 2032.Next, they react in disbelief to a $236 million California program meant to help mentally ill individuals cycling through homelessness and jail that has reportedly helped just 22 people. Gov. Gavin Newsom insists the number is higher, but even generous estimates point to a massive failure and another example of ineffective governance in deep-blue states.Then, they discuss Rep. Ilhan Omar being confronted and having liquid squirted on her during a public forum Tuesday night. Omar was not seriously harmed and completed the event. Finally, Jim and Greg reflect on 40 years since the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in 1986, sharing where they were when it happened and how it became their generation's defining national tragedy until the  9/11 terrorist attacks.Please visit our great sponsors:Try QUO for free, PLUS get 20% off your first 6 months when you visit https://Quo.com/3MLTake your personal data back with Incogni.

    You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 27, 2026. 0:30 CNN reports new details in the fatal ICE shooting of Alex Pretti in Minnesota — but the real story may be what didn’t happen before his death. We break down how Pretti had already interfered with a federal ICE operation, suffered a broken rib during a prior confrontation, and was treated and released without apparent prosecution. We question why federal law enforcement didn’t arrest or detain him for obstructing officers. The lack of consequences emboldened him to return — this time armed. The discussion connects political rhetoric, anti-ICE messaging from elected officials, and the refusal to fully enforce the rule of law, warning that labeling federal agents as “fascists” or an “occupying force” doesn’t just inflame tensions — it authorizes defiance. A tragic death but not an unforeseeable one — and a stark example of how unchecked interference with law enforcement can turn deadly. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a lower court ruling that attempted to stop ICE from being able to operate when facing violent political opposition. President Trump has issued a new executive order designed to speed up the rebuilding process in California. A Texas woman has been arrested and charged with attempting to burn down a Republican Party Headquarters. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Trump’s proposed Board of Peace is sending shockwaves through the global diplomatic class — and that may be the point. We break down reports that dozens of countries are being asked to commit $1 billion each to join a Trump-led international coalition, bypassing the United Nations and traditional diplomatic institutions altogether. We explore what the money could fund, why many participating nations are Middle Eastern and Muslim countries with a direct stake in post-Hamas Gaza governance, and how the plan intersects with NATO, U.S. leverage, and even Trump’s surprising Greenland framework. The Board of Peace is a direct challenge to entrenched global bureaucracy — no UN committees, no lifetime ambassadors, no blank checks. Is Trump effectively dismantling the UN Security Council and replacing it with a results-driven alternative? 16:00 Should Don Lemon be in jail? The American Mamas don’t mince words. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson react to video showing Don Lemon embedded with Black Lives Matter and anti-ICE activists as they disrupted a Christian church service in Minnesota. The discussion lays out why critics say Lemon wasn’t just “reporting,” but actively participating — from offering coffee and donuts beforehand to openly coordinating with BLM activist Nkeema Armstrong. As indictments are announced for protest ringleaders, we argue that interrupting a worship service violates the First Amendment, crosses into criminal obstruction, and terrorized families already on edge after recent church violence. We also question why conservative churches are targeted while mosques, synagogues, and black churches are left alone — and whether Lemon’s attempt to walk it back as journalism will hold up under the law. 23:00 A viral video featuring a registered nurse has ignited outrage and raised serious ethical questions about the medical profession. We react to a nurse who publicly wished medical harm on pregnant White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, invoking graphic childbirth trauma while claiming professional credibility. The discussion centers on the Nightingale Pledge, nursing ethics, and the duty of care that demands compassion over politics. This moment exposes how political rhetoric on the left has crossed from disagreement into dehumanization—where conservatives are no longer debated, but despised. As faith, morality, and professional standards collide, we warn this is not progress, but a dangerous moral regression with real-world consequences. 25:30 New 2025 crime data is turning the narrative on its head. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, violent crime is down across the board—with homicides dropping a stunning 21 percent nationwide, potentially marking the lowest murder rate in U.S. history. Gun assaults, robberies, and carjackings have all fallen by double digits, reversing the post-COVID crime surge and bringing rates back below 2019 levels. We Dig Deep into why crime is falling, rejecting claims that poverty drives violence and arguing instead that enforcement, certainty of punishment, tougher policing, National Guard deployments, and the deportation of violent gang members are making the difference. We give credit to a renewed focus on law and order under President Trump and warn the progress will only last if leaders continue to back police, prosecutors, and the rule of law. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A special guest joins us today, actor and faith advocate Kevin Sorbo, who’s launching a “Footsteps of Paul” Bible cruise through Greece and the Middle East. Sorbo explains how actually visiting places like Athens, Ephesus, Crete, and Mykonos brings the New Testament to life in a way no book or movie ever could. Reading Scripture in the very locations where the Apostle Paul preached, he says, changes everything. The discussion also gets real about modern culture: would Paul be celebrated today — or canceled? Sorbo doesn’t hesitate, arguing that faith, free speech, and basic morality are under attack, pointing to church disruptions, political extremism, and growing public apathy. It’s part travel, part Bible study, and part cultural wake-up call — a conversation that blends Christian faith, Western values, cancel culture, and spiritual revival. 9:30 Republicans just blocked a last-minute Democratic push to limit Donald Trump’s military authority in Venezuela, and the vote couldn’t have been closer. With a 215–215 tie in the House and a tie-breaking vote from J.D. Vance in the Senate, Trump’s ability to act without new congressional approval remains intact. It wasn’t really about constitutional checks and balances, but about Democrats trying to weaken Trump politically — even after what they call a successful operation against Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro with zero U.S. casualties.

    Today's Headlines: The Trump administration is facing growing bipartisan backlash over aggressive ICE enforcement following recent shootings in Minnesota. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the federal government needs to “recalibrate” its approach, while Republican Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Chris Madel dropped out of the race, calling the immigration operation an “unmitigated disaster” and condemning what he described as racial profiling. The criticism has spread beyond Democrats, with the Libertarian Party calling for ICE to be abolished and the Wall Street Journal editorial board urging ICE to pause operations in Minnesota. Amid mounting pressure, the administration demoted Customs and Border Protection official Greg Bovino and reassigned ICE personnel out of Minneapolis, signaling a temporary de-escalation. Border czar Tom Homan has been sent to oversee the situation as Trump publicly emphasized cooperation with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. New reporting raises concerns about ICE activity elsewhere, including allegations that agents in Colorado left so-called “death cards” in vehicles after detentions. Separately, documents reveal ICE is using a Palantir-built surveillance tool to map neighborhoods for immigration raids using data from multiple federal agencies. Internationally, Trump said negotiations with Iran remain “in flux” as the U.S. increases its military presence in the region. Israel confirmed the return of the final hostage's remains, allowing the Gaza ceasefire to move toward its next phase. Trump also announced higher tariffs on South Korean imports, cited the use of a secret weapon in the raid that captured Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, and commented on allegations that a top Chinese general leaked nuclear secrets to the U.S. Meanwhile, a massive winter storm across 19 states has been linked to at least 22 deaths, with hundreds of thousands still without power. Congress is also racing to avoid a potential government shutdown tied to funding for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE oversight.
