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.

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.

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. Tom Ackerman breaks down the Cardinals' ongoing struggles, focusing on player development and the future rather than immediate playoff hopes, and previews Mizzou's college football season, including quarterback decisions and offensive line changes, recommending the Netflix documentary Any Given Saturday. The hour concludes with lighter and unusual news: a Florida man's $1,000 payout for killing 87 invasive pythons, rising McDonald's meal prices, humorous labor and delivery “red flags” for husbands, and the announcement of a UFC fight at the White House in 2026 with a Trump-themed championship belt, streamed on Paramount.

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.

In this segment, Mark is joined by Mark Batinick, a Former Illinois State Representative and a Policy Advisor for the Illinois Policy Institute. He discusses his thoughts on Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's hopeful presidential campaign, the Illinois gerrymandering and more.

Aaron McIntire covers President Trump's invocation of Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, federalizing D.C.'s police and deploying the National Guard to combat crime. Joined by Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel, Trump cites D.C.'s homicide rate (27.3 per 100,000) as a national embarrassment, comparing it unfavorably to New York and L.A. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum defends Mexican illegals' "contributions" to the U.S. economy while blaming America's drug consumption for fentanyl issues. JD Vance details redistricting and a new census to correct 2020 errors, and Aaron warns that Republican inaction could cede permanent control to Democrats.   Trump D.C. takeover, Home Rule Act, National Guard, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Claudia Sheinbaum, immigration, JD Vance, redistricting, census, D.C. crime, ICE arrests, Pittsburgh explosion, gerrymandering, Beto O'Rourke, JB Pritzker

Ben and Dr. D slice and dice the news of the week. Including...Teddy D makes his move. That is, Ted Dabrowski says he may be running against Governor Pritzker as a Republican. He tells John Oliver (not really, John Oliver) all about it. Anyway--meet Teddy D. Gregory Pratt breaks another big story--leading Ben to rant and rail (I mean, passionately orate) about the inability of Mayor Johnson to stand up for what he needs. In his case--money for our deadbroke public schools. How deadbroke are they? Apparently, too broke to fix broken computers. Texas Dems come to Illinois to get away from Texas Republicans. And JB invites them to the state fair to meet the Butter Cow. That gives Ben a chance to rant and rail (I mean, calmly pontificate) about gerrymandering. JB breaks from the state fair to visit the Stephen Colbert Show. And Ben adds some salt to a new poll about the governor.

C'est une enquête fouillée du Financial Times sur le trafic d'armes à destination des gangs. Le journal a tenté de remonter la filière, ces armes de gros calibre venant principalement des États-Unis, et notamment de Floride. Selon un expert interrogé par le Financial Times, ces armes changent totalement la donne : elles donnent aux gangs une puissance de feu supérieure à celle de la police haïtienne. D'après le journal, ce qui « alimente le bain de sang » dans le pays (plus de 5 000 meurtres en 2024 selon l'ONU), c'est justement l'arsenal croissant d'armes de type militaires des gangs. Ces armes sont transportées de Miami en Haïti par bateau dans les containers. Miami est devenue selon le Financial Times « la principale plaque tournante de la contrebande d'armes vers Haïti ». Ce trafic est facilité par la législation de Floride, très laxiste en la matière. La cruelle médiatisation des Vénézuéliens expulsés au Salvador C'est le rendez-vous de l'été : tous les vendredis, les journalistes de RFI qui couvrent l'actualité des Amériques viennent nous parler de ce qui les a marqués cette année sur le continent. Lila Olkinuora revient sur la méditation de l'expulsion de migrants Vénézuéliens au Salvador. En mars 2025, Kristi Noem, secrétaire à la Sécurité intérieure des États-Unis, s'est rendue au Salvador pour visiter le CECOT, une gigantesque prison de haute sécurité inaugurée en 2023. Dans une mise en scène soigneusement calibrée, elle apparaît en haut blanc impeccable, casquette vissée sur la tête et montre de luxe au poignet, face à des dizaines de détenus au crâne rasé et tatouages dissimulés sous des masques chirurgicaux. Objectif : envoyer un message clair aux migrants potentiels et aux criminels présumés. Une médiatisation alimentée aussi par le président salvadorien Nayib Bukele. Il a diffusé sur X la vidéo de l'arrivée de 238 prisonniers transférés des États-Unis : menottés, encadrés par des militaires armés, têtes rasées sous des néons, vêtus de blanc et dirigés vers leurs cellules. Ces images, au ton spectaculaire et martial, s'inscrivent dans la communication musclée que Nayib Bukele entretient quotidiennement sur les réseaux sociaux. Une stratégie qui lui vaut plus de 80% d'opinions favorables dans son pays, mais qui inquiète les organisations de défense des droits humains : près de 3% de la population adulte est aujourd'hui emprisonnée au Salvador. La réforme constitutionnelle au Salvador : « ce soir, la démocratie est morte » Le Parlement salvadorien, dominé par les partisans du président Nayib Bukele, a adopté hier (31 juillet 2025) une réforme constitutionnelle qui abolit la limite du nombre de mandats du chef de l'État et lui permet de se représenter indéfiniment. Cette réforme a été adoptée par les 57 députés pro-Bukele, les trois seuls élus d'opposition ayant voté contre. Elle prévoit aussi l'abolition du second tour de scrutin, et l'allongement du mandat présidentiel de cinq à six ans. Cette réforme fait beaucoup réagir dans la presse salvadorienne. La Prensa Gráfica dénonce la décision de la majorité parlementaire, qu'elle considère comme un grave recul démocratique. Dans son éditorial, le quotidien estime que les mesures adoptées visent à consolider un pouvoir hégémonique, réduire la concurrence électorale et caler le calendrier politique sur les besoins du président et de son parti au détriment des institutions démocratiques. Le journal met en garde contre une concentration du pouvoir qui fragilisera l'espace civique. Le risque, écrit-il, c'est de transformer le système en un quasi-parti unique. Dans le quotidien El Mundo, la députée d'opposition Marcela Villatoro accuse le gouvernement d'avoir – je cite – « fait tomber les masques ». Désormais, selon elle, les élections ne seront plus qu'un simulacre démocratique, le pouvoir étant réservé à quelques-uns. Et d'ajouter : « Ce soir, je peux dire qu'il est déjà trop tard… En cette fin de journée, la démocratie dans ce pays est morte. » Kamala Harris et Joe Biden reviennent sur le devant de la scène L'ancienne vice‑présidente et candidate malheureuse à la présidentielle de 2024 publiera le 23 septembre 2025 un livre intitulé 107 Days – 107 jours – dans lequel elle revient sur la campagne présidentielle la plus courte de l'histoire récente du pays. Selon le New York Times, ce récit est nourri de souvenirs et de réflexions sur l'avenir. Et d'après l'éditeur Simon & Schuster, il se distingue des mémoires politiques classiques, avec un ton qui rappelle plutôt une série comme The West Wing. Pour donner à ses souvenirs une touche plus romanesque, Kamala Harris a même collaboré avec la romancière Geraldine Brooks, prix Pulitzer. Et cette annonce de livre tombe au moment où Kamala Harris confirme qu'elle ne sera pas candidate au poste de gouverneure de Californie en 2026. Un choix qu'elle a expliqué hier soir dans le Late Show de Stephen Colbert, où elle est venue présenter son ouvrage. Ses propos, en tout cas, laissent la porte grande ouverte à une candidature pour 2028. Et c'est loin de faire l'unanimité dans le camp démocrate. Beaucoup voudraient tourner la page de 2024, explique Politico. D'autant que Joe Biden lui aussi revient sur le devant de la scène : ses récentes attaques contre Donald Trump sont largement reprises par les médias. Une présence persistante qui complique la tâche de nouvelles figures démocrates qui aimeraient s'imposer pour 2028. Politico cite notamment les gouverneurs Andy Beshear du Kentucky, JB Pritzker de l'Illinois et le sénateur Ruben Gallego de l'Arizona, qui multiplient les déplacements et les prises de position. L'élevage intense du saumon au Chili inquiète les pécheurs Le Chili est le deuxième producteur de saumons d'élevage au monde, après la Norvège. Il en produit plus d'un million de tonnes par an, et la majorité est exportée vers les États-Unis, le Canada ou encore la Chine. C'est une industrie en pleine croissance. Les entreprises se déploient désormais vers l'extrême sud et la région de Magellan. Problème : les pêcheurs, communautés autochtones et organisations de défense d'environnement dénoncent une industrie polluante qui détruit les écosystèmes marins de Patagonie.
