Podcast appearances and mentions of Pete Hegseth

Mary and Andrew begin this week with the latest in the Trump administration's attempt to send National Guard troops into American cities. From the 9th Circuit comes a 2-1 decision lifting a lower court's temporary block on deployments into Portland, Oregon. Plus: the government has asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on the use of National Guard troops in Chicago. Mary and Andrew analyze the legal repercussions of both, then move to reporting on a Trump administration promise to betray U.S. informants in order to secure a prison deal with El Salvador. And while a week feels like a year these days, the co-hosts review both John Bolton's indictment last Thursday and James Comey's recent motion to dismiss his case based on vindictive and selective prosecution. Before wrapping up this week, Mary and Andrew take a beat on last week's oral arguments before the Supreme Court in Louisiana v Calláis that dealt directly with the Voting Rights Act and whether redrawing districts can be used to remedy disenfranchising voters in Louisiana.Further Listening/Reading: Here is Andrew's conversation with former Special Counsel Jack Smith at an event at UCL in London: The State of the United States: A Conversation with Jack SmithHere is the reporting from The Washington Post Mary and Andrew spoke about: Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump's El Salvador prison deal.Want to listen to this show without ads?

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – None of this made any sense for a military that could be called upon at a moment's notice to fight our enemies. Yet, this was the state of America's armed forces, demoralized and lacking sufficient recruits, after four more years of woke policies under Biden. All this is being swept away to be replaced with a focus on a “warrior ethos.”

Day 1,335.Today, as the world digests the outcome of the White House meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, we examine why the lack of progress on Tomahawk missiles caught many observers off guard. We also explore the significance – if any – of Trump's planned talks with Vladimir Putin in Budapest, widely seen as part of the Kremlin's strategy to stall for time. Plus, we report on another slow weekend at the front, continued Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil and gas facilities, and hear from a leading professor on what it would take to achieve a genuine breakthrough in peace negotiations.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to Professor Robert Person (Non-Resident Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Research Institute's Eurasia Program). @RTPerson3 on X.MORE TICKETS JUST RELEASED FOR 'UKRAINE: THE LATEST' LIVE, IN-PERSON:Join us for an in-person discussion and Q&A at the distinguished Honourable Artillery Company in London on 22nd October starting at 7pm.Our panel includes General Sir Richard Barrons, former head of UK Joint Forces Command and latterly one of the authors of Britain's Strategic Defence Review, and Orysia Lutsevych, head of the Ukraine Forum at the Chatham House think tank.

October 18 2025; 7am: President Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to allow for the deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois, claiming they are needed to protect ICE agents. This comes as immigration enforcement tactics in Chicago have escalated. Plus, ICE agents have repeatedly clashed with protestors despite a judge's restraining order banning the agents from using riot control techniques.

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – A frank, unfiltered discussion on the state of leadership in today's military, the dangers of political insubordination, and the urgent call to refocus on readiness and respect. The episode dissects Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's recent address to America's military generals and admirals—his call for a return to combat readiness...

It's Friday, October 17th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Chinese college forces students to identify as atheists According to a September 30th report from ChinaAid, a mobile app used by a Chinese vocational school, requires students to declare they're atheists.   The app, used by Tianjin Vocational College of Mechanics and Electricity in China, instructs students to check the box for “no religious belief” in their personal information sections, clearly violating their right to religious freedom.  The report stated that “point 4 under ‘personal information notes' requires filling in ‘no religious belief,' forcing all enrolled students to declare themselves as ‘atheists' or ‘non-believers.'”  The Chinese Communist Party is officially atheist and has a long history of disrespecting and persecuting religious communities, including Christians.  Psalm 14:1 says, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.'” The Gospel Coalition stated in 2022 that “[President] Xi despises Christianity … [and] fears that religion, especially Christianity, is an attempt by foreign influences to subvert his nation.”   U.S. Special Operations helicopters near Venezuela The U.S. military's elite Special Operations aviation unit appears to have flown in Caribbean waters less than 90 miles from the coast of Venezuela in recent days, reports the Washington Post. According to an unnamed U.S. official, the helicopters were engaged in training exercises that could serve as preparation for expanded conflict against alleged drug traffickers, including potential missions inside Venezuela. Already, the U.S. military has struck at least five boats carrying illegal narcotics in international waters, killing at least 27 drug traffickers. Speaker Johnson & Speaker Ohana back Trump for Nobel Peace Prize On Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson explained why he believed that President Donald Trump is deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize next year. JOHNSON: “I'm proud to tell you that together with my friend, Speaker [Amir] Ohana of the Israeli Knesset, the equivalent of our Congress, we're going to rally speakers and presidents of parliaments around the world so that we will jointly nominate President Donald J. Trump for next year's Nobel Peace Prize. “No one has ever deserved that prize more. And that is an objective fact. It's an indisputable fact that no president has undertaken the work of saving lives and pursuing peace with such determination and with such remarkable success as President Trump. “Under his leadership, we are witnessing the dawn of a new golden age, not just for America, but for the entire free world. The world is changed by these actions and strong leadership. American strength is good for free people around the world, as we say always, and peace through strength is maintained.” Pentagon journalists turn in badges, refusing new Hegseth rules Dozens of Pentagon reporters turned in access badges and exited the War Department on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, reports the Associated Press. The nation's leadership called the new rules “common sense” to help regulate a “very disruptive” press. News outlets were nearly unanimous in rejecting new rules imposed by War Secretary Pete Hegseth that would leave journalists vulnerable to expulsion if they sought to report on information — classified or otherwise — that had not been approved by Hegseth for release. Homosexual pastor says abortion “helps the life of children” According to a viral video clip, a self-described “queer” Protestant pastor said babies should be killed in the womb so they do not grow up in an “unsupportive” situation, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Kurt Kaufman is a recently “ordained” minister who currently works as a “ministerial associate” at First Baptist Church of Denver. Protestia, which often criticizes liberal Christianity, posted a video of an interview Kaufman gave where he explains why he supports the intentional killing of innocent preborn babies. Listen. KAUFMAN: “Being in favor of reproductive rights [i.e., the destruction of the unborn], first and foremost, protects the life of the mother, and protects the life of the person that is already living, and is the person that is able to bring more life into this world should they choose,” “Furthermore, it protects the life of children. There are so many children that currently exist in this world that were forced to be born because of legislation, because of men that have decided for women. And so as a result, many children have grown up into a unsupportive, unhealthy and right-challenging household that hasn't been a life that any child should live. “And so being in favor of reproductive choice helps the life of children everywhere because they don't have to grow up in a world that dislikes them because they simply exist.” This is why, according to the so-called “minister” it's a good thing to support the killing of babies. But in Proverbs 6:16-19, there are seven things listed that God hates, including “the shedding of innocent blood.” LifeSiteNews asked Kaufman for further information on when the interview occurred, what he would say to the counterargument that society does not kill babies after they are born just because of their circumstances, and at what point he believes preborn babies are human beings who deserve protection from abortion. In a reply email this past Tuesday, Kaufman wrote, “I have no comment to provide.” Not surprisingly, Kaufman's outrageous remarks drew criticism from commentators on X. Scott Dunford wrote, “By his logic every kid born into a bad home situation should be eliminated. This is an evil and godless way of thinking.” And an account called Woke Preacher Clips wrote, “This is psychotic behavior.” Bad Bunny's Super Bowl perverse half time show vs. Turning Point's wholesome patriotic alternative And finally, Super Bowl LX (60) is set for Sunday, February 8, 2026, and will broadcast on NBC with a halftime performance featuring Benito Ocasio known as “Bad Bunny,” a Puerto Rican rapper who has championed sexual perversion, sexual immorality, self-indulgence, and hostility to Immigration Customs and Enforcement. Indeed, Ocasio has said that his sexuality may be fluid. He told Gay Pride, “At the moment, I am heterosexual and I like women, but maybe in 20 years I will like a man.” In his song, Ignorantes, he features sexual perversion, and in his song, Yo Perreo Sola, Ocasio created a disturbing video where he personally dresses and cavorts around in drag. Turning Point USA, the nonprofit created by the late Charlie Kirk and now led by his widow Erika Kirk, announced they will broadcast a wholesome, patriotic alternative that celebrates “faith, family, and freedom.” While event details and scheduled performers are still being determined, you can sign up to receive event information and vote for your preferred music genre at AmericanHalfTimeShow.com.

David Waldman drops us off in time for our weekend fun, but not without some parting words of wisdom. We're so sorry, Uncle Albert, but Admiral Alvin Holsey has notified the US Southern Command that he will be departing only a year into his 3-year mission of slaughtering Trinidadian fishermen. Pete Hegseth will drown his sorrows this weekend with Jeanine Pirro, who also hasn't been able to catch a break or a conviction. Multiple judges have shut down multiple Chicago attempts at military takeover and harassment of citizens. Karoline Leavitt wants to throw judges and their laws in jail. Schools are actually winning their cases against Trump, but that's just not as fun for retail media to report. Now, shooting missiles across California Interstate 5, that's a media event. So is indicting John Bolton, who probably deserves indictment, maybe for what he was indicted for. Russian drones and jets keep wandering into NATO countries. Now little green men are reemerging along the border.

Donald Trump has been involved in a series of high-profile court cases recently. One of the most notable cases is the Supreme Court case _Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al., Petitioners v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc., et al._, which was docketed on September 4, 2025, and is currently set for argument in the first week of November 2025. This case, along with another, has been consolidated for briefing and oral argument, with the court allotting a total of one hour for the argument.In another development, President Trump has been at the center of a legal dispute involving the deployment of federalized troops to Portland, Oregon. On September 27, 2025, Trump posted on Truth Social that he was directing Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War, to provide troops to protect Portland from perceived threats such as Antifa and other domestic terrorists. This led the State of Oregon and the City of Portland to file a lawsuit against Trump, Hegseth, and other administration officials, alleging that their actions were unlawful and violated the Posse Comitatus Act.The lawsuit resulted in a temporary restraining order being granted, with the plaintiffs arguing that the deployment of troops was unauthorized and an overreach of executive power. The case highlights ongoing tensions between the federal government and local authorities regarding the use of military troops for domestic law enforcement purposes.Additionally, the Trump administration has faced legal challenges from various states, including Illinois, which recently sued over plans to deploy federalized troops. This ongoing litigation reflects broader debates about the limits of executive authority and the role of federal forces in domestic affairs.The dynamic nature of these legal battles underscores the complex and often contentious relationship between the Trump administration and the judiciary, with numerous cases reaching the highest levels of the U.S. court system.Thank you for tuning in today.

The Daily Beast's David Gardner and Sarah Ewall-Wice join Joanna Coles to unpack Trump's latest obsession, a $200 million Arc de Trump slated to lord over the Potomac. Is it legacy-building or pure delusion? From secret Oval Office blueprints and questions over who's really bankrolling Trump's $200 million ballroom to Pete Hegseth's war on the press fallout, Coles and company expose a capital consumed by Trump's ego and unravel what his monument mania reveals about the man who can't stop trying to carve himself into history.

The U.S. has been a model for other aspiring democracies since 1776. At the same time, the idea of America as the leader of the democratic world has also had a unifying effect at home. It's what has kept this diverse country of many faiths and ethnicities together, and it has been our national identity. But with Trump actively undermining those ideals, what will we be unified around? Plus, the potential new whites-favored refugee policy, Trump's psychological comfort to the Russian war effort, Hegseth got himself a state media press room at the Pentagon, JD is totally cool with lots of Nazi talk—and could the administration be trying to start a war in Venezuela so it can expand its militaristic crackdown on the streets here?

Today's Headlines: We're now on day 16 of the government shutdown, and Republican leaders are hinting it could drag on until Thanksgiving — casually blaming holiday travel chaos while admitting they're not even thinking about reopening the government. Meanwhile, OMB Director Russell Vought says the administration plans to fire 10,000 federal workers, though a federal judge just ruled they can't do that during a shutdown. While public employees go unpaid, the administration is finding cash for others — promising a “clever and generous” $10 billion bailout for farmers hit by the trade war with China once the shutdown ends, and another $20 billion to prop up Argentina's crumbling economy. Priorities! At the Pentagon, dozens of journalists turned in their press badges rather than sign Pete Hegseth's “state media” pledge requiring them to only report what the Defense Department approves — a move even Fox wouldn't touch. Over at the Supreme Court, justices heard a major case that could gut the Voting Rights Act by striking down race-based map protections — potentially flipping a dozen Democratic House seats in the South right before the 2026 midterms. Meanwhile, an Ohio GOP congressman's office was found to have a flag featuring a swastika intertwined with the American flag visible on a Zoom call. He blamed it on “vandalism,” because apparently random Nazi décor just appears in people's offices now. And finally, the yacht formerly known as the Lady Ghislaine — once owned by Robert Maxwell (yes, Ghislaine's dad) and now Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife's — caught fire in D.C. yesterday. Officials say it was electrical. Okay then.  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: Politico: Thanksgiving travel looms as shutdown risk, GOP leaders say - Live Updates Axios:  Federal firings could reach 10,000 during shutdown, Vought says AP News: Live updates: Judge blocks Trump administration from firing during shutdown Axios: Exclusive: "Clever and generous" farm bailout coming, Hassett says WaPo: Bessent says bailout for Argentina will double to boost U.S. influence in region The Wrap: Pentagon Reporters Turn In Press Badges as Pete Hegseth Restrictions Take Effect – but 'the Work Continues' NYT: Justices Seemed Open to Further Limiting the Voting Rights Act NBC News: Republican congressman calls flag with swastika displayed in his office 'vile' and says it's under investigation Telegraph: Yacht named after Ghislaine Maxwell catches fire in Washington DC Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

John this time discusses Politico releasing to the public a Young Republican group chat that included racist language, jokes about rape and flippant commentary on gas chambers - which then prompted bipartisan calls for those involved to be removed from or resign their positions. He also talks about Trump, who is once again back at it with extrajudicial killings of brown people he claims are "narcoterrorists". There is no credible factual or legal argument that we're engaged in an armed conflict with any drug cartel under international law... so Trump and Hegseth's excuses don't hold water. Next, he speaks with writer, theologian, and permaculture enthusiast Dillon Naber Cruz on the evils of Christian Nationalism which is at the heart of the rude and racist Young Republican group chat. And lastly, John welcomes back legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson to answer questions from listeners.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

'War Secretary' Hegseth Takes Aim At US Media by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Today's Headlines: Hamas returned the bodies of four more Israeli hostages after Israel accused them of dragging their feet on the peace deal and threatened to slash humanitarian aid. Two American hostages' remains are still missing. Trump's foreign policy victory lap took a turn when he threatened to cut aid to Argentina if voters don't reelect his ally Javier Milei—right after the U.S. basically bailed out Argentina's economy. Meanwhile, the U.S. military struck another “drug boat” off Venezuela, killing six, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tried (and failed) to force journalists to sign gag agreements for Pentagon access—OANN was the only one to comply. Over at DHS, Secretary Kristi Noem produced an airport PSA blaming Democrats for the government shutdown, violating the Hatch Act so hard that airports are refusing to air it. Trump posthumously gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk, then revoked visas for six foreigners who allegedly mocked his death. A leak of 28,000 messages from Young Republican leaders exposed months of racist, antisemitic, and violent rants—including one participant who works in the Trump administration. In Pennsylvania, the man who set Governor Josh Shapiro's house on fire pleaded guilty to attempted murder and arson. And in Alaska, a typhoon killed at least one and displaced over 1,400 people, while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that ChatGPT will now allow erotica for verified adults.

Listen to this episode commercial free at https://angryplanetpod.comThe episode is about Vanessa Guillén, a US soldier who was murdered at Fort Hood in 2020. She also experienced sexual harassment while in the military. I spoke with ABC Special Correspondent John Quiñones about his new podcast, Vanished. It's a good podcast that covers Guillén's case in-depth and highlights the reforms the Pentagon instituted after.We recorded the show on September 30, Guillén's birthday. That morning, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth delivered a long speech about his own military reforms. Many of the changes Hegseth has pushed through conflict with the changes that Guillén's death ushered in.As such, I thought it was important to get John's reaction to Hegseth's speech. Before we began recording,I told him I planned to ask him about this and he agreed to talk about it.When I asked the question during recording, a public relations person from ABC jumped on the line and asked me to stop talking about Hegseth. I pushed back, but not hard enough.The next day, ABC PR reached out via email to ask if I would cut this moment from the show.I will not. It's included here in full. Further, I want to take a moment at the top to highlight the reasons why I brought up Hegseth's speech. There's a lot to it and, honestly, it demands its own episode. Here are Hegseth's thoughts on toxic leaders.“Today, at my direction, we're undertaking a full review of the Department's Definitions of so-called toxic leadership, bullying and hazing, to empower leaders to enforce standards without fear of retribution or second guessing. Of course, you can't do, like nasty bullying and hazing. We're talking about words like bullying and hazing and toxic. They've been weaponized and bastardized inside our formations, undercutting commanders and NCOs. No more. Setting, achieving, and maintaining high standards is what you all do. And if that makes me toxic, then so be it.”Guillén's case also changed the way the Army investigates sexual harassment. Here are the secretary's thoughts on the current state of official internal military investigations:“We are overhauling an inspector-general process, the IG that has been weaponized, putting complainers, ideologues and poor performers in the driver's seat. We're doing the same with the Equal Opportunity and Military Equal Opportunity policies, the EO and MEO, at our department. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints, no more repeat complaints, no more smearing reputations, no more endless waiting, no more legal limbo, no more side-tracking careers, no more walking on eggshells. “Of course, being a racist has been illegal in our formation since 1948. The same goes for sexual harassment. Both are wrong and illegal. Those kinds of infractions will be ruthlessly enforced.”After the speech, Hegseth signed 11 memos that detailed these changes. I'll link them in the show notes. The memos say that the military's definition of “harassment” is overly broad, calls for the end of “anonymous complaints”—something Hegesth also said in his speech, and asks that investigations be completed quickly with the assistance of artificial intelligence.I believe that is all important context for this episode. I also believe that Hegseth's speech and the policy directives represent a regression in the American armed services. I will not pretend otherwise.Listen to the All-New ‘Vanished: What Happened to Vanessa' PodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/warcollege. Hosted on Acast.

Multiple airports across the country are refusing to air a lie-filled video message from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem where she blames the government shutdown on Democrats in Congress. TSA employees said that passengers were sickened by the message that she recorded, as were airport employees. Noem is trying to use the shutdown to hurt Democrats, much like Trump, but their efforts are failing as most Americans squarely blame the Party in charge - The Republicans - for the shutdown. While surrounded by leaders from across the globe in Egypt on Monday celebrating a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, Donald Trump decided that this would be the perfect time to publicly humiliate the Prime Minister of Italy. But unlike usual, he didn't do it by insulting her - he did it by getting overly creepy with his compliments of her. He talked about how beautiful she is and even admitted that he shouldn't be saying that. The worst part is that this isn't even the first time he's done this with her - or the second. The deadline for media outlets to sign onto Pete Hegseth's new, First Amendment-violating press requirements hit this week, and most media outlets surprisingly refused to sign on. What's even more shocking than learning that some outlets still have remnants of a spine is that even pro-Trump MAGA media outlets are also refusing to give in to these demands. Newsmax announced that they would not be signing the agreement, putting their credentials at risk along with the rest of the media. This is a small stand, but it is one that should be celebrated.Donald Trump's political prosecution of James Comey is off to a much worse start than expected, as the judge overseeing the case has already dealt a fairly crushing blow to the prosecutors. Prosecutors had requested that the deadline for turning over their discovery (evidence) be extended to give them more time, but the judge absolutely refused to do it, suggesting that if they had the evidence they claim to have then it should already be ready to go. The judge knows EXACTLY what's going on, and that's going to end poorly for the prosecutionText and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!
