In this episode of the Morning Report from Fightbackmedia.com, host Willie Lawson delves into two significant executive actions by President Trump that are causing a stir across the nation. With his usual incisive analysis, Lawson explains how these bold moves are set to dismantle the Status Quo that has long prevailed in the realms of foreign service hiring and federal education policy and why this shift signals a transformative moment in U.S. governance. Willie Lawson first discusses the executive order to eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) protocols from the hiring processes within the U.S. Foreign Service. Emphasizing merit over politically-driven quotas, Lawson argues that this change prioritizes qualifications and capability, aiming to strengthen America's diplomatic efficacy on the global stage. By highlighting the inefficiencies of the DEI approach, he challenges the counter-narratives that maintain such policies benefit international relations. In the second segment, Lawson covers the executive action to begin the dismantling of the Department of Education, a move driven by a philosophy of decentralization. He advocates for returning educational control to local communities, critiquing the past inefficiencies and failures of federal oversight in education standards. Lawson emphasizes the potential benefits of localized governance, contending that such a shift could better address the unique needs of diverse regions and improve overall educational outcomes. Key Takeaways:President Trump's executive order aims to remove DEI practices from Foreign Service hiring, focusing instead on merit-based selections.The initiative to dismantle the Department of Education represents a significant shift towards decentralizing educational governance.Critics argue that these changes threaten diversity and inclusiveness, while supporters claim they will enhance efficiency and success.Willie Lawson presents evidence that federal control in education has not significantly improved academic standards.The podcast highlights the broader implications of these actions as a reversal of decades-long policies favoring federal oversight and identity politics.Notable Quotes:"President Trump has officially banned the use of race, gender, and identity politics in the hiring and promotion process for the US Foreign Service.""This executive action is just the beginning… it's taken real leadership to finally push back and win.""It's time to put parents back in charge and kick out the federal bureaucrats who think they know better than moms and dads.""The end of DEI in the Foreign Service means diplomats will be chosen based on their ability to represent America's interests.""Our education in America… has shown a great loss compared to other places."Resources:Fightbackmedia.com: Official WebsiteContact: fightbackmedia@gmail.comTune in for more insightful discussions and analyses from the Morning Report with Willie Lawson.

In this episode, we dive into President Donald Trump's multi-pronged strategy to revitalize America's economy, from aggressive reciprocal tariffs to massive DOGE cuts, and a large-scale deregulation effort to promote business growth.The Code of Federal Regulations is now over 190,000 pages long. A 2017 Auburn University study found that each federal regulator effectively “costs the U.S. economy the equivalent of 138 private sector jobs per year.” The researchers said that equated to a $11 million annual loss for the U.S. economy for every additional regulator.What will be the impacts of the Trump administration's policies? Will they usher in economic prosperity or will America have to head into a recession first?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Dr. Robert Kraig collaborates with Earl to dissect Trump's speech to Congress, incorporating audio of Bernie Sanders' reaction to the events. They point out that Trump completely overlooked the economy, a topic he previously criticized former president Joe Biden for neglecting during his administration. Earl shares text messages from individuals who are misinformed and lack a factual basis for their comments on the address. He then takes calls, including one from Dale in Wausau, who discusses tax reductions and cuts, emphasizing that those who earn more will see greater relief.

On Wednesday, February 19, 2025, Hudson Mohawk Magazine Roaming Labor Correspondent Willie Terry attended a National Day of Action Rally by Federal Workers to resist Elon Musk and the Trump administration's efforts to gut federal services and impose mass layoffs, which would impact pretty much every corner of the federal government from Social Security to the NLRB to the EPA. The rally was held outside the Leo O'Brien Federal Building in downtown Albany. In this labor segment, Willie recorded some of the sounds from the rally and interviewed Doug Bullock, a member of the Albany Labor Council.

Erin Williamson traveled to rural communities to help them get financing for essential services as part of her job with the U.S. Agriculture Department. Veteran Jared Blockus worked for a VA hospital in North Carolina ordering critical equipment. All of them were probationary workers fired a couple of weeks ago as part of the Trump administration's plan to reduce the size of the federal workforce, along with thousands of others. Host Martine Powers speaks with reporter Kyle Swenson about these former federal workers and what their job loss means personally and for the public.

One of the major casualties of Trump administration's brazen efforts to reduce the size of the US federal government is its dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), including a wholesale funding freeze, shutting down the website, and recalling most staff from abroad. The impacts on the world are going to be severe and lasting, but there are many questions and uncertainties: what will be the short-term harm, how will the development sector survive in the medium term, and what will US development policy, and indeed development policy generally, look like over the longer term? To discuss these issues Darren is once again joined by Bridi Rice, CEO of the Development Intelligence Lab in Canberra to talk through possible futures, what a “MAGA-friendly” development policy might look like, and whether development is simply the latest policy domain to see a convergence between the Trump worldview and that of China. Australia in the World is written, hosted, and produced by Darren Lim, with research and editing this episode by Hannah Nelson and Corbin Duncan and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

President Trump recently proposed to meet with Russian and Chinese dictators Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping to agree to cut the three nations' military expenditures by half. At a time when Xi's regime is engaged in a whole-of-society People's War against the United States – and rapidly building up the means of making it a shooting one – dramatic reductions in such spending would clearly be desirable. Ditto its subsidizing of Russia's war in Ukraine and Putin's resulting weapons binge. Fortunately, we don't have to gut our own national security to achieve these laudable goals. Fox Nation's Maria Bartiromo just confirmed that Wall Street is “underwriting the enemy” by investing in Chinese companies – including many working for the CCP's military. Such funds also enable the PRC to buy Russian energy. We can, and must, cut off this insane underwriting unilaterally –and now. This is Frank Gaffney.

Welcome back to Bank Nerd Corner, featuring yours truly and #1 among all bank nerds, Kiah Haslett, Banking and Fintech Editor at Bank Director. By the time you're reading this, we've had ~3 weeks of “fun” updates from the CFPB, and we have a lot to unpack! First up, who actually wants the CFPB gone? Gutting the CFPB won't end consumer protection; it just shifts the burden. Funny how the loudest CFPB critics are the ones who profit most from consumer confusion. Even some bank execs admit the CFPB keeps markets fair. Referees are annoying, but you don't want a game without them. Next, it seems like regulators care again about de novo banks (a topic we touched on 18 months ago but hey, who's counting?). Post-crisis regulations, slow approvals, and a weaker market for bank sales have made starting a new bank a very tough sell. Plus, new banks are facing VC-style growth pressure, often relying on risky funding just to stay afloat. But it's not just community banks pushing for change—fintechs want in, too. So, why are fintechs suddenly advocating for more de novo charters? And did fintech and BaaS make them obsolete by offering a faster, more efficient path to scaling and returns? Switching gears: debanking raises serious questions about how reputation factors into bank risk evaluations. If reputation matters, can't it be weaponized? Crypto wasn't changing the world, but regulators fumbled debanking. Transparency is key—if it's a “no,” just say it, don't dodge FOIA requests. Kiah nails it with this analogy: Crypto is like BaaS. Both used middleware to scale quickly, but while crypto's risks were obvious, BaaS flew under the radar—until Synapse and cease-and-desists made it impossible to ignore. And finally, the unanswerable question of the week: what's FinCEN actually doing? Banks still can't warn each other about fraud. FinCEN hoards data for law enforcement but isn't required to use it.

[WEEKEND RECAP 02-09-25] The gutting of the Left is occurring at breakneck speed. How are you feeling about everything you're learning.Mexico and Canada retaliated against the US on tariffs. Are you scared? The price of your Dos Equis and avocados may skyrocket. You might have to switch beers or abandon tequila for vodka. Will you survive? Who do you think will ultimately win this battle between the US and our baby cousins?  Donald Trump is addressing the LIES of the previous administration head on, and Democrats don't know how to act. How have you acted when you were caught in blatant lies. Remember that emotion, and you get a snippet of what's happening with Democrats. Hakeem Jeffries wants Democrats fighting in the streets. Too late. That's been happening for decades.The Democrats elected a new DNC chair. Ken Martin. What a job that guy has!! President Trump PURGED the FBI, the prosecutors of him and J6, the 51 intel officers, with hundreds more pink slips to come.   President Trump struck bad guys in Somalia.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.
