After a court temporarily blocked the deployment of Guard troops in Illinois, ICE agents began ramping up their operations around Chicagoland. They are now demanding that residents produce their papers—particularly if they have brown skin. Officers stand outside churches holding Spanish-language Mass or they go into tourist areas to confront people, including U.S. Citizens. If someone doesn't have an ID with them, they'll be detained. The power-hungry officials around Trump, including Stephen Miller, are likely behind the enhanced menacing. Meanwhile in Israel, the resilience of the surviving hostages—after a sustained campaign of deprivation—is worthy of celebration. Plus, the Hamas executions of Gazans, our American pharoah's comfort with Middle East strongmen, and even Newsmax says the new Pentagon press rules are a bridge too far. Gov.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they welcome tightening polls in the Virginia governor's race, cringe at Christiane Amanpour's disturbing comments about Israeli hostages, and preview what could be an ugly U.S. Senate primary among Democrats in Maine.First, they break down new polling showing Republican Winsome Earle-Sears cutting Democrat Abigail Spanberger's lead to less than three points. The momentum shift comes after revelations that Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones sent violent text messages about murdering political opponents and wishing harm on their children. The same poll shows GOP Attorney General Jason Miyares up nearly six points over Jones. Jim unloads on Jones for acting like a "psychopath" toward the opposing party, but he's not sure it will be enough to push Republicans to victory.Next, they wince as CNN's Christiane Amanpour suggests Israeli hostages were treated better than people in Gaza during the recent war. She later issued an on-camera apology, but Jim is disgusted that Amanpour could not hide her disdain for Israel for even one day.Finally, they turn to Maine, where Gov. Janet Mills is entering the U.S. Senate race to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins. Mills is leaning heavily on her brief defiance of President Trump over gender policies. Meanwhile, a big primary fight among Democrats could be coming. The 77-year-old Mills faces veteran Graham Platner, who is enthusiastically endorsed by Bernie Sanders.Please visit our great sponsors:Sponsored by Quo, formerly known as Open Phone: Get started free and save 20% on your first 6 months and port your existing numbers at no extra charge—no missed calls, no missed customers.

National Divorce, The ‘New Confederates', Trump Invokes INSURRECTION ACT. Victor Davis Hanson, Glenn Beck, Dr. Steve Turley Victor Davis Hanson: Meet the 'New Confederates' in America's Blue Cities Glenn Beck- The HORRIFIC TRUTH about "national divorce" BREAKING! Trump Invokes INSURRECTION ACT as Terrified Dems PANIC!!!- Steve Turley   Victor Davis Hanson: Meet the 'New Confederates' in America's Blue Cities Across the country, a new confederacy is rising—built not on states' rights, but on resistance to federal immigration law.  As cities like Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago openly defy federal immigration laws, Victor Davis Hanson argues we're seeing the rise of a “neo-Confederate secessionist ideology” where local officials act as if they're above the law on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Sometimes it's sponsored or encouraged by the Democratic Party: Gavin Newsom in California, our governor, or Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, openly calling for resistance, or Gov. Pritzker of Chicago. “What's really disturbing is we're starting to see a new—I would call it—a neo-Confederate successionist ideology in these cities. In these blue cities, the officials who run them, the mayors or the police chiefs, believe they are a law unto themselves. In other words, within the confines of Chicago or within the confines of Portland, they can nullify all federal laws, just in the way that South Carolina said it could on the eve of the Civil War: The Union does not apply to us. We are morally superior.” Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/G2-_Qn_F49U?si=PUbnHmpsnVjoHUop The Daily Signal 946K subscribers Oct 9, 2025

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, Mayor Teresa Thomas-Smith shares a direct, practical lens on leadership: your inner voice sets the ceiling for your strategy, culture, and impact. We dig into stripping away the “best self” mask, why vulnerability is a leadership asset (not a weakness), and simple practices to rewrite self-talk so results shift—at work and at home. Expect grounded examples, a real story of reframing under pressure, and clear steps to build an authentic, values-led leadership presence. Search-friendly themes: leadership mindset, authentic leadership, inner narrative, self-talk, mental fitness for leaders, emotional resilience, boundaries, trauma-informed growth.   About the Guest  : Teresa Thomas-Smith is the first African American and first female Mayor of Palmetto, Georgia. A global speaker and transformational strategist, she champions “lead her ship”—leading from essence, not titles—through radical authenticity, compassion, and practical inner work.   Key Takeaways: Authenticity is whole-self leadership: stop performing a “best self” and lead as a full human so others feel safe to do the same. Self-talk is the foundation: strategy and skills are only as strong as the inner voice driving them. Name the ego, don't obey it: acknowledge the loud, critical voice and consciously choose the truer one. Give yourself grace: change happens “right now,” one choice at a time—especially when you feel stuck. Write your story: put the desired outcome on paper; clarity + intention reduce fear and organize action. Release what no longer serves: notice old vows, roles, or narratives and consciously let them go. Your energy leads the room: remembered essence creates lightness, connection, and trust in teams. Practical starter: when negative self-talk spikes, pause, name it, thank it for trying to protect you, and release it; then speak a truer sentence aloud.

As it sometimes does, this week's topic presented itself to me. Determined to find out why the little known story of a woman most people have never heard of needed to be told so badly, I dug in. Join me to uncover the story of Grace Sherwood for yourself, the only woman ever to be convicted of witchcraft in Virginia. We'll examine the factors that led to Grace's conviction and the "recipe" for witch hunts that has plagued our past and potentially (but hopefully not!) our future. Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources:Transcripts of Grace Sherwood's trial for witchcraft"A Place In Time: The Age of the Witch of Pungo" by Belinda Nash and Danielle SheetsSalem Witch Museum "Grace Sherwood: the 'Witch' of Pungo"Ferry Plantation "Trial of Grace Sherwood - the Witch of Pungo"Virginia Museum of History and Culture "Grace Sherwood: the 'Witch of Pungo'"The Washington Post "Va.

Donald Trump ramps up his attacks on American citizens, fighting in court to be able to deploy national guard troops to Chicago, and declaring that Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson should be imprisoned. Jon and Dan react to Trump's threats, the deployments to Chicago and Portland, and the White House's "Antifa roundtable," where the president and his cabinet portrayed Antifa—which doesn't even really exist—as a shadowy, nationwide terrorist network that must be dismantled. Then, they discuss the politically-motivated indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James, debate whether the Democrats are winning the shutdown message war, and react to some rare good news: the Gaza peace deal. Then, Gov. Pritzker sits down with Jon to discuss how he's fighting back against Trump's invasion of Chicago.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

 Buckle up, Patriots – it's a seismic Thursday on Joe Oltmann Untamed as President Trump's masterstroke shatters the deadlock in the Middle East! After over two grueling years of bloodshed, Israel and Hamas have inked Phase One of the ultimate Peace Plan – ALL hostages freed, troops withdrawing, and a durable truce on the horizon, brokered with Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey's heavy hitters. Trump's thunderous declaration? "BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!" – a historic slam-dunk that's got even PA Senator John Fetterman, the lone Democrat warrior, charging full-throttle to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if Ukraine follows suit. But hold the cheers: the NFL's Super Bowl halftime bombshell has America raging! Bad Bunny – the anti-ICE agitator who bailed on his U.S. tour fearing raids and sat stone-faced through the National Anthem – snags the biggest stage? Enter TPUSA's epic counterpunch: an ALL-AMERICAN halftime showdown to reclaim our pride from the woke gridiron circus! Crank the intensity as we unleash frontline firebrand Harry Fisher – a battle-hardened paramedic, Army and Air Force veteran, and unyielding COVID vaccine whistleblower who's paid the ultimate price for truth! Author of Safe and Effective, For Profit: A Paramedic's Story Exposing An American Genocide, Harry's expertise cuts like a scalpel through Big Pharma's veil: from whistleblowing on vaccine injuries crippling patients to the brutal backlash that cost him multiple jobs, he's the voice every skeptic needs. We'll grill him on the post-rollout health crises he's witnessed up close, the mandates gutting EMS staffing, and how RFK Jr. 's crusade for informed consent mirrors his own war stories. If you've questioned the jab's dark side or fought for medical freedom, Harry's raw, no-holds-barred takedown will light your fuse – don't miss this paramedic's righteous roar against the profit-driven machine! We storm Chicago's chaos, where ANTIFA thugs – bankrolled by a $100M Democrat-laundered NGO web exposed by the White House – swarm ICE ops like locusts, turning deportations into street brawls! National Guard boots hit pavement organized interference: DHS hauls in illegals while gangbangers (110K strong, per FBI's Kash Patel) lurk in the shadows, locals cheer the crackdown, as woke Mayor Brandon Johnson and Gov. Pritzker screech "illegal!" as Stephen Miller fires back. We wrap with California gubernatorial hopeful Katie Porter's staffer-fueled meltdown – masks on, tempers off!

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 10th Publish Date:  October 10th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, October 10th and Happy Birthday to Van Halen I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal The Georgia Ballet presents Dracula Kent leads fundraising in Marietta Council race Two students arrested for bringing weapons, drugs onto South Cobb High campus Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ingles Markets 6 STORY 1: The Georgia Ballet presents Dracula The Georgia Ballet is kicking off its 65th season with something deliciously dark—Dracula. Running Oct. 23–26, 2025, at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre in Marietta, this marks the company’s first-ever production of the gothic classic. Choreographed by Norbe Risco (of Kentucky Ballet Theatre fame), the ballet dives into Bram Stoker’s eerie world of moonlit castles, restless spirits, and, of course, the seductive Count himself. Jonathan Harker’s business trip? Yeah, it spirals into a nightmare of terror and temptation. Under Artistic Director Daet Rodriguez, The Georgia Ballet continues to push boundaries, blending tradition with bold, new works. Heads up: this one’s not for the little ones—recommended for ages 12+ due to its mature themes. Oh, and here’s a fun touch: Hamp & Harry’s will be serving up themed cocktails in the lobby. Performances are limited, so grab your tickets soon at georgiaballet.org or call 770-528-0881. STORY 2: Kent leads fundraising in Marietta Council race Councilman Carlyle Kent is leading the money game in the Ward 5 race for Marietta City Council, outpacing both former Councilman Reggie “Game Changer” Copeland and retiree Kenneth Wright. As of the latest fundraising deadline, Kent’s pulled in over $7,880—far more than his opponents, who’ve both pledged to keep their campaigns under $2,500. Kent’s spent about $3,800 so far, leaving him with $4,082 in the bank. His expenses? Campaign staples like shirts, yard signs, postcards, and even a $955 video camera. Notable backers include former Gov. Roy Barnes ($1,500), ex-Councilman Johnny Sinclair ($250), and a mix of local business owners, church leaders, and community figures. Kent even chipped in $400 himself. The final fundraising deadline is Oct. 25—just ahead of the Nov. 4 election. STORY 3: Two students arrested for bringing weapons, drugs onto South Cobb High campus  Cobb Police arrested two students after finding weapons and drugs in a car parked at South Cobb High School last Friday. Inside the vehicle? A loaded gun with 14 rounds, two knives, a THC vape, and less than an ounce of marijuana. Jentry Henson, of Austell, and Kensley Merriweather, of Powder Springs, now face multiple charges, including felony drug possession and carrying weapons in a school safety zone. Merriweather was also charged with an additional felony for allegedly having a THC vape on her. Both teens, born in 2008, were released on bond—$16,720 for Henson and $27,720 for Merriweather. The school district emphasized there was no threat to the community and encouraged parents and students to use the district’s anonymous tip line to report concerns.

Break: TRUCK A PALOOZA STORY 4: Artists to chalk the streets at Marietta’s Chalktoberfest Chalktoberfest is back this weekend, ready to transform Marietta Square into a kaleidoscope of color—and draw a crowd of 40,000 to 60,000 art lovers. Hosted by the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, this two-day festival combines jaw-dropping chalk art with craft beer, live performances, and a whole lot of community spirit. It all kicks off Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and continues Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission? Totally free. What started in 2013 with 20 artists has exploded into a global event, featuring 100 artists from places like Italy, Mexico, and Ukraine. Each artist is sponsored by local businesses—so many, in fact, that organizers had to turn some away this year. And the impact? Huge. Executive Director Sally Macaulay says the festival brings $5.2 million to the city and national recognition to the museum. Sunday’s community chalk competition lets kids (ages 9–17) join the fun, while Saturday’s beer festival offers 120+ brews. Tickets for the beer fest are $55 at the door or $50 online in advance. New this year? Aerial performers will dazzle the crowd with acrobatic routines. Street closures start Friday afternoon, so plan ahead. And the weather? Perfect—sunny and mid-70s all weekend. For tickets and details, visit chalktoberfest.com. STORY 5: Cobb, Marietta Teachers of the Year honored with handprints in Walk of Honor On a crisp fall day in Glover Park, two extraordinary teachers left their mark—literally. Hailey Howdyshell of Marietta City Schools and Amanda Dillard of Cobb County Schools unveiled their handprints on the Teacher Walk of Honor, surrounded by cheering students, proud families, and teary-eyed colleagues. “This isn’t just about me,” Howdyshell, a first-grade teacher, said. “It’s about the kids, my mentors, my team—everyone who’s shaped me.” Dillard, a special education teacher at Pope High, reflected on her journey: “I never planned to teach, but my students showed me why I was meant to.” She’s known for her relentless dedication, helping kids of all abilities find their version of success. The ceremony, part of the Cobb Chamber’s monthlong celebration, will wrap up with a pep rally and a car giveaway for the honorees. But for these two, the real reward is the impact they make every single day. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting We’ll have closing comments after this.

Interview & Analysis: Nobel Peace Prize, Israel-Hamas Peace & Gov't Shutdown w/Jon Decker

Pennsylvania is now 100 days without a state budget, yet lawmakers appear no closer to reaching a deal. Frustrations are mounting in the Capitol. House G-O-P leader Jesse Topper says the state must help scale up the energy industry, reform education and find ways to make social safety-net programs sustainable in the long run. Meantime, Senate Democratic leader Jay Costa blames Republicans for failing to compromise on key issues, like funding public education funding and legalizing the adult use of cannabis. Gov. Josh Shapiro used a Lackawanna County appearance to place blame on the state Senate. More than 200 high school students protested the state budget impasse Wednesday, even during a steady morning rain in Lancaster County. Less than a month after a deadly shootout that claimed the lives of York County police officers, there's another shootout involving police, this time in Franklin County. Two Pennsylvania State Police troopers are hospitalized and a suspect is dead after a shootout Wednesday night. Enrollment at state-owned universities in Pennsylvania has taken a slight uptick. And drivers are being advised to prepare for a major traffic disruption this weekend in Lancaster County. PennDOT crews are continuing a major improvement project at the interchange between US Routes 30 and 222.

Costa and Gov are tied for first as we get deeper into October

New York State's top law enforcement official, Attorney General Letitia James, is facing federal charges of mortgage fraud. Plus, after years of protests over the Israel-Hamas war and allegations of discrimination, some Columbia University students and faculty question whether honest dialogue is possible. And finally, Gov. Kathy Hochul and mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani both want universal child care for the state but they disagree on who's paying for it.

Former state Sen. Scott Jensen maneuvered his way through a crowded governor's race field to gain the Republican Party's backing in 2022. Now, he's hoping to do it again. Jensen, a family physician, won the Minnesota Republican Party endorsement in 2022 but lost in November to Gov. Tim Walz by more than 7 percentage points. He says he's running again to “restore the values, safety and opportunity that once made Minnesota a national model for prosperity and fairness,” he said in July as he announced his latest candidacy.MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst talked with Jensen about his new campaign.Then, it's harvest time. But this season has a lot of Minnesota farmers on edge. Their crop yields are generally strong, but their markets are in question because of global trade tensions.  We're joined by two MPR News reporters to detail how farmers are coping with trade barriers with China during the tariffs fight.Guests: Scott Jensen is a former state senator and family physician and is pursuing the Republican endorsement for Minnesota's 2026 governor's race. Chris Farrell is a senior economics contributor for MPR News and Marketplace.  Tadeo Ruiz Sandoval is an MPR News reporter based in the Fargo-Moorhead area.

Gov. Mike DeWine took executive action this week to temporarily ban the sale of "intoxicating hemp" products in the state. DeWine said the products represent a consumer product emergency. The order bans the sale of unregulated products that contain THC derived from hemp including candies and drinks. THC is the psychoactive compound found in the cannabis family of plants. DeWine's executive order is for 90 days. We will begin the “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable” with the governor's executive action. The Ohio House this week passed -- with some support from Democrats -- two bills that proponents say will give property owners some tax relief. The two bills, which the Senate now takes up, make changes to how property taxes are determined and how schools and other local entities collect the money raised from levies. Eleven protesters have paid nearly $400,000 in restitution in a pretrial diversion program that, if all stipulations are met, will null charges they incurred while protesting the war in Gaza at Case Western Reserve University last year. The protesters, ages 20 to 25, splashed red paint on buildings and sidewalks. They were charged with breaking and entering, possessing criminal tools and vandalism. They spoke publicly last weekend, saying the university is making an example of them in order to quash pro-Palestinian protests. Early voting is underway for the November election. And in addition to levies and mayoral an council races, there is a robustly contested battle for four open seats on the Akron Board of Education. Eight candidates meet this week for a debate sponsored by the Akron Press Club in partnership with Ideastream Public Media, the Akron Beacon Journal and Signal Akron. Our Anna Huntsman was one of the journalists posing questions to the candidates. People are packing independent music venues. That's a good thing. But the venues aren't turning a profit. That's troubling. So says a new report from the National Independent Venue Association on the impact of small music clubs on the state's economy, which estimates the more than 300 clubs made $3 billion last year. Students, alumni and supporters of student-run WCSB college radio at Cleveland State University held a protest this week after the university announced an agreement with Ideastream Public Media to switch to an all-Jazz format programmed by Ideastream.

"We've just made it so complex that the average consumer will never understand it." That's what Chris Jones said on this episode of Plain Talk, referring to the way Americans access and pay for health care. Jones is the former head of the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services, having served in that role under Gov. Doug Burgum, and he's just finishing up a stint in President Donald Trump's administration where he's advised Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator Mehmet Oz. He argues that the maze of employer-provided benefits, government programs, premium subsidies, insurance companies, health care companies, and pharmacy companies that Americans must navigate when they're sick or injured just isn't working. "The system is broken," he says, and argues that the root problem for all of this is the cost of care. "It's the price, not the financing mechanisms." What can be done to bring down prices? Transparency is one thing. Americans often have no idea what their care will cost them until they get a bill in the mail, and thanks to the fact that most Americans see their coverage by a third party (an employer-provided insurance policy, or a government program) they have little incentive to find out. Jones also weighed in on the tug of war between Republicans and Democrats over health care during the ongoing government shutdown. He said that claims from Democrats that "nursing homes are going to close, benefits are being cut for kids and individuals with disabilities" culdn't be "further from the truth." He also supported new work requirements for Medicaid recipients scheduled to begin in 2029. These rules require enrollees between 19 and 64 to work, volunteer, or participate in a qualifying activity for at least 80 hours per month. Jones pointed out that we already have work requirements in place for programs like food stamps and welfare. "What I can't understand, morally, is why we think it's okay to work 20 hours a week for food and basic assistance that you need every single day, but to have you work the same amount of time for something you may never use, and that being cruel and unusual, I just can't reconcile in my brain," he said. Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discussed Superintendent Kirsten Baesler's appointment to a position in the Trump administration and Gov. Kelly Armstrong's announced bridge loan program for furloughed workers. If you want to participate in Plain Talk, just give us a call or text at 701-587-3141.

Across the country, a new confederacy is rising—built not on states' rights, but on resistance to federal immigration law.  As cities like Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago openly defy federal immigration laws, Victor Davis Hanson argues we're seeing the rise of a “neo-Confederate secessionist ideology” where local officials act as if they're above the law on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Sometimes it's sponsored or encouraged by the Democratic Party: Gavin Newsom in California, our governor, or Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, openly calling for resistance, or Gov. Pritzker of Chicago. “What's really disturbing is we're starting to see a new—I would call it—a neo-Confederate successionist ideology in these cities. In these blue cities, the officials who run them, the mayors or the police chiefs, believe they are a law unto themselves. In other words, within the confines of Chicago or within the confines of Portland, they can nullify all federal laws, just in the way that South Carolina said it could on the eve of the Civil War: The Union does not apply to us. We are morally superior.”

On Wednesday, former FBI Director James Comey was arraigned in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding stemming from his 2020 testimony. Former federal prosecutor Jim Trusty joins the Rundown to discuss the legal and political dimensions of the case, including the history between Comey and former President Trump, and broader concerns over the alleged politicization of the Justice Department. A text scandal shaking up Virginia politics has added new tension to the governor's race, as current Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears and former Democratic Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger prepare to face off in their highly anticipated first debate. Lt. Gov. Earle-Sears joins the Rundown to discuss her campaign strategy, key issues for Virginia voters, and how she plans to make her case in the final stretch before Election Day.

The former tech entrepreneur is pushing employees across Silicon Valley's largest city to adopt the technology as a way of streamlining everything from bus routes to business permits. On POLITICO Tech, Mahan joins host Steven Overly to discuss the AI-enabled city he's trying to build, as well as California's new AI safety law, the risk of overregulating technology and his recent criticism of Gov. Gavin Newsom. Steven Overly is the host of POLITICO Tech and covers the intersection of politics and technology.

Rob from Kendall and Casey joins to talk about how he thought our discussion with Gov. Braun went yesterday and to of course, GO OFF THE RAILS! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fresh off dropping his reelection campaign, Mayor Eric Adams went on an unexpected trip to Albania. Back home, the three remaining major mayoral candidates marked the anniversary of Oct. 7, while former Gov. Andrew Cuomo surprised many by reversing course on his earlier support for closing Rikers Island. NY1's investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Dan Rivoli break down another eventful week in the race for mayor. Later, as we head into the final stretch before Election Day, the “Off Topic” team begins taking a closer look at the leading candidates and what they're proposing for New York City. The first installment focuses on Republican Curtis Sliwa.

Reps. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) and Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) react to the continuing government shutdown as Democrats and Republicans hold firm to their party's agenda. Fmr. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson weighs in on President Trump calling for the arrest of Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson following the deployment of federal forces to Illinois. Fmr. FBI Director James Comey pleads not guilty to two federal charges.

Republicans are trying to protect Gov. Glenn Youngkin's legacy in Virginia, though the polls say Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears is trailing Abigail Spanberger. But a scandal over awful rhetoric by Jay Jones, the Democratic AG candidate, might give an opening to the GOP incumbent Jason Miyares. Plus, Jack Ciattarelli is now within three points of Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, what's ​taking ​place ​​in ​these ​blue cities, like Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, ​is ​nothing ​short ​of ​breakaway ​government that defy federal immigration laws and the Constitution. Mayors and governors, such as California's Newsom and Illinois' Pritzker, instruct local police to stand down, allowing riots by illegal aliens, their supporters, Antifa, and other groups to physically attack federal agents like ICE and obstruct deportations of criminals. The Insurrection Act has been used multiple times in our history, since 1808, by Democrat and Republican presidents in cases like this. Not only must law and order be restored, but so, too, must our constitutional system against these new Democrat Confederates. Also, Dinesh D'Souza calls in to discuss his new film, "The Dragon's Prophecy." D'Souza explains that the film counters left-wing cliches about Israel as a colonizer and right-wing critiques by drawing startling parallels between current events—like October 7th and the ongoing war—and ancient Israelite battles in Hebrew scriptures from 3,000 years ago. Later, Gov Greg Abbott joins the show to explains that ​Democrat Governors and Mayors ​support ​illegal aliens ​more ​than ​American ​citizens. They're ​putting ​lives ​at ​risk. He also explains that the world must remember October 7th. Afterward, in the Oval Office today, the President said he never told Benjamin Netanyahu to stop being negative, he's been great. Thus, the reporting by Axios's hitman, Ravid, was false. Will they run a correction? Of course not. Phonies and frauds. Finally, Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears calls in and condemns AG candidate Jay Jones for advocated murder of a former Republican House speaker and his children, then doubled down. Learn more about your ad choices.
