Today we discuss childhood, fitness, and self-defense; the through-line is freedom. First up: Illinois has become the first state in the Union to mandate mental health screening for children in grades 3 – 12, so that conditions from trauma to anxiety can be detected early. How mandatory will these screenings be? How confidential? What is anxiety, and why are children better off learning to experience and solve their own anxiety, than to be coddled at every turn? We argue that anxiety—like pain, and sadness—are signals from your brain and body that should be listened to rather than erased. Also: childhood is a time of exploration, of mixing reality with fantasy, and should not be a time when adults' fantasies are imposed on children. Then: the New York Times cannot abide that anything that RFK Jr. does or says makes sense. Finally: do people have the right to defend themselves inside their own homes? Have we forgotten habeas corpus? Are the foundations of democracy coming apart at the seams? *****Our sponsors:Branch Basics: Get 15% off Branch Basics with the code DARKHORSE at https://branchbasics.com/darkhorse #branchbasicspodJolie: Beautiful showerheads that filter out the garbage without reducing water pressure.

The National Guard was deployed to Washington, D.C. earlier this month as a part of President Donald Trump's effort to mitigate crime in the capital. And Chicago could be next. City and state leaders, such as Gov. JB Pritzker, have made their message clear. “Do not come to Chicago.” Since then, the White House has issued a press release of its own. A bullet-pointed list of crime statistics and headlines. Reset will go behind those headlines and fact-check the White House's claims that Chicago residents want the National Guard in the city with WBEZ criminal justice reporter Chip Mitchell and Northwestern professor Andrew Papachristos. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.
WBBM political editor Geoff Buchholz reports Governor Pritzker says he's heard nothing official about reports that National Guard and other forces will stage at the north suburban base.

It's a classic News Day Tuesday on Majority Report On Today's show: Trump is attempting to fire Federal Reserve Govenor Lisa Cook via tweet, accusing her of mortgage fraud yet no charges have been filed. This is just the continuation of his crusade to influence interest rate cuts. As the Pentagon reports that preparation for a National Guard invasion of Chicago started months ago, Illinois governor JB Pritzker fires back and points out that 13 of the 20 cities with the highest homicide rates and 8 out of 10 states with the highest crime rates are red states. Missouri GOP Representative Mark Alford is scorched at a town hall by a farmer, In the Fun Half: Graham Platner is peppered with horrible questions on CNN and answers them all perfectly. Ben Shapiro lies about how much he can bench press in a pathetic attempt to shame Zohran Mamdani. Wesley Bell desperately attempts to justify receiving millions from AIPAC and Crypto. Hakeem Jeffries writes a strongly worded letter in another feckless display. All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

Jesse Newman, who covers food for the WSJ, describes what kinds of pressures these companies are under, and how they are responding. Plus, corn farmers in the U.S. Midwest are preparing to harvest what may be a record-sized crop this year. But as reporter Kirk Maltais discusses, that may not be the good news that it seems.

We hear from Chicago-based national affairs reporter Joe Barrett about what's going on in the city. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

Bill Melugin, Los Angeles-based correspondent for Fox News Channel, joined The Guy Benson Show today to continue the conversation the pair started on America's Newsroom this morning, as Democrats continue their outright refusal to acknowledge the violent crime crisis gripping major American cities. Melugin explained why leaders like Brandon Johnson and JB Pritzker feign ignorance when asked straightforward questions on violent crime. Benson and Melugin also discussed the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was arrested again while awaiting deportation to a tertiary country like Uganda. Melugin argued that Democrats' support of Garcia underscores their prioritization of illegal immigration above all else, and you can listen to the full interview below!

SEASON 4 EPISODE 7: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: So WTF with Trump's health? Is he dying? Or is he fine? Clearly, there is a Donald Trump health crisis. What is its exact nature? Is he sick? Is he fine? Is there some acceptable explanation for his swollen face and narrowed eyes last shown publicly on Friday? And what does the enlarged left hand mean? And what does the bruised right one covered in make up MEAN? And are those ballooned engorged ankles as benign as claimed by the latest doctor, Captain Barbabella? Is the president of the United States – whoever he is, whatever we think of him - gravely ill? Would they tell us if he were? Would they tell… HIM? No, no, it’s all just “chronic venous insufficiency." Not serious. When we saw him Friday he looked like he'd just changed out of a hospital gown. And behind these questions – why is the national news media still giving the clear decline in Trump’s appearance and clarity and likely in his physical health less attention than the irrelevancy that is Biden’s cognition level from LAST YEAR? Lost in the Trumpstein cover-up, the Ghislaine Maxwell hostage video, Trump’s planned terrorism in Chicago, the John Bolton raid – Trump's face was so puffy – even for HIM - that his eyes looked like slits, barely open. Right hand with a contusion, clear tape, what could have been traces of blood near the fingers, running from the thumb through the middle finger and up, under the shirtsleeve, badly covered in make-up. Left hand so swollen it looked like something they’d draw for a cartoon character: the BASE of those fingers 40 or 50 percent larger than the ends and his ability to use the hand clearly impaired enough to make him hesitate. And we didn’t see the ankles this time. We saw them when he was in Alaska with Putin and they were wider than his feet. Last time he only lied about his health on every topic from getting a colonoscopy to nearly getting intubated for Covid. Before that his personal doctor said everything except 'he's immortal' then confessed Trump dictated the statement. What's going on? PLUS: Trump’s latest terrorist invasion will be of Chicago is about Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, just like LA was about Gavin Newsom, just like DC was about a Democratic local government, just like New York will be about Zohran Mamdani. And it’s all unconstitutional and more of the Trump dictatorship – unchallenged. And what, the Epstein Files were in John Bolton’s house? So Trump’s cult is going to believe ONE of Ghislaine Maxwell's 750 lies but not the other 749? B-Block (29:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Live in Washington, Pam Bondi reveals she thinks she's in Miami. A confidante of NYC Mayor Eric Adams gives a reporter cash wrapped up in a potato chip bag. And the Cracker Barrel protestors prove they'll eat anything as long as you call them Crackers. C-Block (45:30) SPORTSBALLCENTER/THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It is the greatest document ever written in the English language. Well, at least the greatest sports document. It is so amazing that for a long time, historians doubted it was real. It's called "Special Instructions To Players" and they had to read it, sign it, and hand it back because it was about banning them for life for excessive profanity. And there sure is excessive profanity! And I am going to read it to you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

DNC Chair wants Democrats to fight back against Trump's GOP-backed authoritarianism. An obviously hobbled Shitler could barely walk during his latest golf outing. Governor Pritzker ripped man-baby a new one for illegally deploying the National Guard in a historic righteous tongue lashing. In the new authoritarian led economy, the government could take stakes in even more companies. Even conservatives didn't like sickly Trump's plan to jail folks who burn the flag. Lil Nas got in trouble in Los Angeles and of course the cops were up to no good. A memoir of the late Epstein victim, Virginia Giuffre chronicled horrors involving predator Prince Andrew. A gaggle of New York suits gave the famously bland restaurant Cracker Barrell a marketing makeover and scored a zero with the MAGATs. The Crabs discussed how the New York Times and other outlets ruthlessly covered Biden's health issues and wondered why those same outlets barely touch on the Felon-in-chief's alleged congestive heart failure.
Family, this week on Queer News Anna DeShawn continues to bring you the stories that matter most to our community. In politics, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker launches IL Pride Connect, the nation's first statewide LGBTQIA+ resource hub and legal hotline. Meanwhile, the Trump administration plans to ban transgender healthcare for federal workers in 2026 and promotes conversion therapy as an alternative. In Florida, officials erase the Pulse nightclub rainbow crosswalk in the middle of the night. On the culture front, Lil Nas X faces legal and health challenges, Billy Porter steps into beauty with Black Mona Lisa Beauty, and conservatives blame LGBTQ folks over the Cracker Barrel logo change. Let's get into it. Want to support this podcast?
Indiana Republicans seem poised to redraw their maps next to prove their allegiance to Trump.

The Center Square team reviews just some of the 271 bills Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker acted upon in the last week, including measures impacting the courts, schools, digital currency regulation and more. Of all that, the governor vetoed two of them setting up possible action during veto session scheduled in October.
WBBM political editor Geoff Buchholz reports on one of two abortion pill-related bills Governor Pritzker signed into law on Friday.
Did you see that Trump's new executive order on voting gives him the power to direct states on which votes to count and which to throw away? Why isn't anybody else talking about this? What JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing is awesome - we need fighters. Phil Ittner - Ukraine Update. Did you know Trump just sent three US warships to Venezuela?

Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates joins Lisa Dent to discuss Governor Pritzker saying there isn't money “just lying around” in Springfield to fund Chicago schools.

The State of Illinois is making it easier for some senior citizens to renew their driver's licenses. The Road Safety and Fairness Act has been signed into law by Governor Pritzker after passing the General Assembly unanimously earlier this year. The new law raises the age at which a person needs to take a behind-the-wheel driving test to renew their driver's license from 79 to 87.
Illinois is one of the bluest states in the country, so much so that more than two-dozen Texas House Democrats fled there to protest a proposed congressional map in their home state that could broaden Republican power in Washington. Governor J-B Pritzker is among the Democrats promising to fight – and some people think the fight might include a new map in Illinois.

8.13.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Texas Dems Set to Return; Gen. Lee High Name Restored; Sonya Massey Law; Trump Extends DC Crackdown Texas Democrats say they're set to return to the state after blocking a controversial redistricting vote. We'll speak with one of the state representatives who fled Texas to protest the legislation.Also in Texas, the Midland Independent School District's board of trustees has voted to restore the name of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to a local high school--reversing a decision made just five years ago. In Illinois, change is coming after the heartbreaking police shooting of Sonya Massey last summer. Governor JB Pritzker has signed the Sonya Massey Bill into law. We'll talk to the family's attorney about what this legislation means. Plus, three days into his federal takeover of Washington, D.C., Donald Trump says he plans to extend the crackdown beyond its 30-day limit--with or without Congress. We'll talk to a Black author who says this is part of a long history of criminalizing Black cities in America.

Hour 1 explodes into the Smithsonian controversy, with Marc and Kim shredding claims that Trump is erasing slavery and challenging the 1619 Project narrative. Jillian Michaels slams liberal talking points on slavery and gender in sports, armed with facts and her defiant identity. Marc wraps with the announcement of Scott Jennings' conservative show joining 97.1 FM. Hour 2 blends humor and politics: Mark gives shoutouts to local events, teases a big fall 97.1 gathering, and vents about sports disappointments, including the Cardinals' loss and Yankees plans. Politics heat up with Geraldo Rivera on DC crime, JB Pritzker on abortion, and socialist Zoran Mamdani's radical rent-freeze proposal. Alex Tarascio weighs in on Trump's back-to-back meetings with Putin and Zelensky, while Tom Ackerman breaks down Cardinals and Mizzou football, with lighter news on pythons, McDonald's prices, and a 2026 UFC White House event. Hour 3 focuses on strategy and accountability: Former Senator Jim Talent praises Trump's negotiation skills while exposing DC crime mishandling by Democrats. A Styx ticket giveaway lightens the mood before USPS delays and the Kansas City Chiefs' political donation highlight the intersection of money and politics. Kim Otto Webb debates new juvenile accountability laws in New Jersey, weighing responsibility versus today's permissive culture. Hour 4 reflects on August racing by, Kim's maternity leave, and Dan Buck covering in her absence. Crime dominates, with alarming DC statistics, Shannon Bream praising Trump's leadership and Alaska summit diplomacy, and Griff Jenkins reporting firsthand on repeat offenders and carjackings fueled by weak local prosecution. Trump's common-sense federal intervention contrasts sharply with local failures. The hour closes with bombshells from Cash Patel and John Solomon exposing Obama DOJ officials, including Sally Yates and Andrew McCabe, blocking FBI investigations into the Clinton Foundation—parallels drawn to current alleged corruption—and previews of Brian Kilmeade's coverage.
Hour 2 opens with Mark giving shoutouts to Lit Cigar Lounge's single barrel night, a humorous encounter with the crew from House of Pain gym, and a tease for a big 97.1 fall event. The conversation quickly shifts to sports disappointment as the Cardinals blow a lead to the Rockies and plans for a hot weekend Yankees game. The discussion moves into politics with Geraldo Rivera blasting D.C. crime, JB Pritzker touting abortion rights, and NYC socialist Zoran Mamdani proposing a radical rent-freeze plan, prompting Mark and Kim to warn of socialism's negative impact on the economy. Former President Trump's idea of back-to-back meetings with Putin and Zelensky sparks debate, with political strategist Alex Tarascio weighing in on Russia's aggression and Ukraine's growing drone capabilities, while the hosts emphasize the importance of sanctions and military aid.
