The Insurrection Act and The Role of Governors. How to Win Over the Other Side. WNBA All-Star Game. Rocket City, USA, NASA and Trash Pandas. Trump is federalizing National Guard troops, threatening Chicago, New York, and LA with domestic deployments, and using the White House podium to launch personal attacks at anyone who pushes back. Governor JB Pritzker is one of the few Democrats actually fighting — in court, in public, and inside his own party. In his first appearance on Independent Americans, he sits down with Paul Rieckhoff for a no-BS conversation about Trump's nasty WHCD remarks, the Bears' stadium standoff, the Mamdani-Sherrill-Spanberger split in the Democratic coalition, and why he thinks the real divide right now isn't left vs. center — it's team cave vs. team fight. Paul presses Pritzker hard on the stuff independents actually care about: open primaries, the public funding of private party elections, national security credibility on the Democratic bench, and whether governors — not senators, not congressmen — are the best bet for 2028. Pritzker pushes back, defends his grocery initiative, warns about the Insurrection Act, and tells a story about calling other Democratic governors during the Minneapolis crackdown that should make every voter in America pay attention. This one is a real conversation, not a campaign stop. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Chuck Todd and Chris Cillizza dig into the biggest structural story of the 2028 race: the DNC's proposed new Democratic nominating calendar, which would open in South Carolina and run through Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Michigan, and Virginia. The guys make the case that a calendar starting in the least progressive early state and ending in another one looks engineered to stop a Bernie- or AOC-style insurgent — then debate who it actually helps. Chris sees a raised bar and a no-backup-plan trap for Kamala Harris; Chuck argues the map is a dream scenario for Wes Moore, with three heavily African-American states and two big military populations, while making the counterintuitive case that a splintered field could still let a progressive win South Carolina on a McCain-in-2008-style plurality. Along the way they weigh Buttigieg's veterans play, Mark Kelly's underrated prospects, Pritzker's self-funding edge, and why they'd have picked Arizona over Nevada. From there they turn to an idea from Chuck's wife for reinventing the White House Correspondents' Dinner — hand the South Lawn to reporters and their families once a year, and keep the president and the TV cameras out of it — before tackling the deepening mystery around Mitch McConnell's health and monthslong public silence, and why the conspiracy theories collapse the moment you ask what the upside would be. Then it's on to the stakes of next week's Michigan Senate primary between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, which both sides are treating as the first existential fight over the Democratic Party's identity, and how Zohran Mamdani may have reshaped it. They close, as always, with the Nats: the looming trade deadline, why Foster Griffin is expendable but CJ Abrams isn't, and the case for building a brand around the team's young Black stars.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 07/25/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS This week, we analyze the global distribution of resource extraction, judicial shielding of white killers, and institutionalized state violence: The Geopolitics of Resource Extraction: We dissect the strategic maneuvers surrounding the massive $25 billion Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline project designed to power West Africa. We look at BBC World Service reports tracking the economic and infrastructural warfare dictating energy grids across the African continent, contrasting this with international developments where Spain shattered Argentina's World Cup dreams. We apply counter-racist logic to show how global white power interests control and redirect indigenous non-white wealth. Judicial Shielding & State-Sanctioned Execution: We investigate the rapid legal protections afforded to white youth killers as Colt Gray enters a guilty plea following state school violence. We contrast this systemic buffering with horrific reports of a 78-year-old Decatur female who overdosed on fentanyl following an alleged police blunder, alongside breaking cases where Baltimore police investigate an active "hate crime" in Fells Point. We expose how the courts work concurrently with enforcement wings to shield White Supremacist perpetrators while leaving black victims entirely unprotected. The Industry of Clemency & Corporate Surveillance Grids: We decode the growing industry of presidential pardons where massive bribes—including $600 for a presidential pardon—are weaponized within the federal clemency complex. We couple this with local news reports tracking a municipal deputy sheriff accused of systemic corruption in Bucks County, exposing how legal and administrative offices are engineered together to commodify justice while weaponizing municipal resources against non-white autonomy. The Erasure of Black Historical Reality: We break down the absolute peak of state hypocrisy out of Illinois where Governor JB Pritzker signs a law officially designating July 25 as Emmett Till Day. We analyze this symbolic political performance alongside breaking Madison, Wisconsin reports where a black male was shot and killed by police, sparking intense community protests and forcing Corey Ruiz's family to make public calls for basic justice. We deconstruct how The System uses hollow holidays and cosmetic benefits to distract the collective from ongoing state executions on the concrete. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #TheCOWS17Years #CounterRacism #MediaLiteracy #EmmettTillDay #ColtGray #DanielErving #NolanWells INVEST in The COWS!

A “moderate” beats a “centrist” in Arizona—clearly, Dems have identity issues. Ben riffs. And Governor Pritzker returns. Talking everything from his re-election campaign to his presidential ambitions to his views on Israel to Trump's war on Blue States. You can't cave, you have to fight. A few words about the Bears stadium and data centers and more. Governor Pritzker is, of course, the governor of Illinois.

Dimitri and Khalid are finally back with the eighth installment of SJ's deep political meta-series CONTRA. We start off by checking in with the Big Boy star of CONTRA VII, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, including: the long march of the Big Boy meme accounts, unpacking the fuzzy allegations that the Pritzkers and Rockefellers have been “funding” pro-Palestine protests, and where the Pritzkers actually stand on Gaza in 2024. We then begin our dive into Alan A. Block's “All Is Clouded By Desire” and its dracular protagonist, the Palestine-born “businessman” Bruce Rappaport, whose collaborations with the venerable Bank of New York resulted in the greatest heist of the 20th century: the wholesale looting of the post-Soviet economy by Russian gangsters, Western banks, and an intricate web of sus international intelligence assets in the early 1990s.

AI governance expert Jim Malachowski joins the show to unpack Illinois's new AI regulation law, signed by Governor Pritzker, which adds annual audits and financial penalties beyond what California and New York already require. Malachowski, chairman of AIQA Global, explains his company's role as an independent AI governance rating agency — think a FICO score for artificial intelligence — and previews a coming shift toward mobile AI in self-driving cars, military drones, and eventually humanoid robots. Marc presses him on whether AI regulation should be left to blue states like Illinois, New York, and California, or whether the federal government needs to step in for national uniformity, a tension Malachowski says will play out over the next two years. Kim raises real parental fears about AI-generated fake images of children and who's held accountable when the technology is misused. The Marc Cox Morning Show tackles the promise and the peril of AI head-on. Kim on a Whim is coming up next, covering the Texas governor's investigation into birth tourism billboards in Mexico.

Hour one of the Marc Cox Morning Show comes out swinging, with Ryan Wrecker filling in for Marc Cox alongside Kim St. Onge. It opens with Team USA gutting out a World Cup win over Bosnia and Herzegovina down a man after a brutal red card, then pivots to the Marc Cox Shortlist, where Governor Pritzker dodges the trans-kids-in-sports question, a socialist candidate throws horns at a rally, and Josh Shapiro admits Democrats want to radically reform the Supreme Court — all while Trump touts progress on denuclearizing Iran through strength. From there it's Sony stripping away video game ownership and Mayor Mamdani ordering New Yorkers to set their thermostats at 78, before Kim on a Whim tackles the real story behind St. Louis crime statistics and whether the city's rosy numbers can be trusted. The hour closes with a bombshell: Jill Biden's bestseller status exposed as a bulk-buy mirage. Common sense, honest numbers, and real accountability — that's the thread running through Hour 1 of the Marc Cox Morning Show.

JB Pritzker went on camera and diagnosed Donald Trump with dementia — then admitted "I'm not a doctor, I haven't diagnosed anything." This is the same governor who spent four years swearing Joe Biden was sharp as a tack. Trump answered the whole Trump-Derangement crowd with a fake AI "Doctor Trump" ad, right after standing in front of the Rough Riders at the Teddy Roosevelt Library and branding the communists a "group of losers."

Ban ALL immigration! The Supreme Court caved on birthright citizenship, but President Trump still holds a powerful weapon. I say the Immigration and Nationality Act gives him everything he needs to go on offense, halt immigration, and shut down birth tourism.America First or America last? Democrats continue to defend illegal immigration while grieving Americans — like the mother of Sheridan Gorman who was allegedly killed by an illegal alien — beg for justice. The walls may be closing in on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Somalia) as fresh allegations emerge in the $250 million Minnesota Somali fraud scandal.The Democrat Party is now being taken over by radical communists who hate America. Abdul El-Sayed advocates for attacking Republicans, Gov. JB Pritzker pushes the socialist takeover, and Melat Kiros claims 9/11 was our fault.

Gun Owners of America's Luis Valdez joins Marc and Kim for 2A Tuesday with a stunning Second Amendment win straight from the Supreme Court — the Wolford case just struck down attempts like Hawaii's to strip private property owners of the right to allow lawful gun owners onto their premises. Valdez breaks down how the left keeps rebranding America's most popular rifle as an "assault weapon" to manipulate public opinion, and exposes the legal battlefield raging in Illinois and Virginia, where gun grabbers like JB Pritzker are using one-party control to trample Second Amendment rights right across the river from St. Louis listeners. Valdez also delivers an explosive update on the ATF's illegal gun registry fight, revealing the feds have built a searchable database of gun owners just waiting for a switch to be flipped.
