On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Sen Chuck Schumer and his Senate Democrats are declaring that they will shut down the federal government and they do so to protest the elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse. They do so because they want higher inflation and more massive debt. They are prepared to stop funding Medicaid, food stamps, children's lunch programs, etc., at the direction of their radical leftwing base! They don't want to cut anything - they want to add - more billions out the door to their radical left-wing groups. The Democrat Party represents Washington D.C. and the massive bureaucracy. Later, Federal Democrat judges are out of control, and we are living under a judicial tyranny where they are creating their own power. Judge Beryl Howell blocked what was deemed an 'unlawful' President Trump order that targeted a law firm that had represented the Hillary Clinton campaign. The Judge does not actually possess the authority to make such a ruling. Also, suppressing the free speech, academic freedom, mobility, and education of others (Jewish students) through threats, intimidation, violence, organized mobs, barriers, face-coverings, chants of annihilation, bullhorns, trespassing, graffiti on public buildings, etc. is not, and never has been a protected 1st amendment right. And if you've helped organize any part of this, you're obviously complicit. Mahmoud Khalil is a Hamas-supporting thug and should be deported. There's precedent for the Trump lawyers dealing with the Hamas-Nazi rioters and other "protesters," but this was used against Jews living in Judea and Samaria, who had not threatened anyone in their own country let alone in the U.S., and none of these phony 1st amendment frauds said a damn thing. Finally, Sheriff Mike Chapman calls in to give an update on Sudiksha Konanki, the U.S. college student who went missing in the Dominican Republic. Learn more about your ad choices.

The latest episode of the Center for Immigration Studies podcast series features a discussion between guest host Marguerite Telford, the Center's Director of Communications, and Steven Camarota, the Center's Director of Research. Camarota's interview highlights a recently released analysis that examines the size and growth of the foreign-born population in the January Current Population Survey, the first government survey to be adjusted to better reflect the recent surge in illegal immigrants. The analysis finds that the foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal together) hit 53.3 million and 15.8 percent of the total U.S. population in January 2025 — both new record highs. Telford and Camarota continue the discussion, hitting topics both in the analysis and those effected by immigration stock and flow, including population projections, employment, education levels, assimilation, and more.HostMarguerite Telford is the Director of Communications at the Center for Immigration StudiesGuestSteven Camarota is the Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedForeign-Born Number and Share of U.S. Population at All-Time Highs in January 2025The Declining Education Level of Newly Arrived ImmigrantsWorking-Age, but Not Working, 1960 to 2024Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

They discuss the current state of communication and disinformation in the United States, focusing on the challenges faced by progressives in countering right-wing extremism and misinformation. It highlights the importance of media literacy and critical thinking in combating the spread of false narratives, and the need for grassroots activism and strategic political involvement to address these issues.

The last six months have been absolute disaster for the political left. Yes, they lost the election. Yes, they have an image problem. Yes, their funding network of government cash and rich donors is drying up. But right now these might be the least of their problems. The younger generation is shockingly conservative, especially young men. Politically correct language and tone that safeguarded leftist frame for decades is regularly flaunted and mocked, spelling doom for the consensus they rely so heavily on. Support for gay marriage and transgenderism is plummeting. We are looking at the complete and utter implosion of a party.But it wasn't always this way. Less than three decades ago Democrat President Bill Clinton signed the defense of marriage act, defining marriage as one man and one woman, into law. Hillary Clinton advocated for rapid deportation of criminal illegal aliens in 2008. The Democrat PARTY PLATFORM in 2004 advocated for, and I quote, “safeguarding all the greatness of America by protecting our people, securing our homeland, and reinforcing our values – faith and family, duty and service, individual freedom and a common purpose to build one nation under God.”This is not to say they were not still radically wicked then. They were, especially on abortion. But as they embraced more and more radical leftist positions they quickly fell into the very trap they set for others. Guilt and greed have consumed their constituents. Their gender ideology accepts not even the slightest deviation from the revolutionary orthodoxy. And they appear to have no recourse other than to keep doubling down.

During this year's International Women's Day celebrations, you're likely to see demonstrators in many cities around the world bearing purple flags and wearing purple ribbons or wristbands. Now International Women's Day actually has three official colours: Purple, white and green. but it's fair to say that purple stands above the others as the undisputed colour of feminism in this day and age. For example, think back to the poignant symbolism of Kamala Harris wearing a purple coat during her inauguration as the first ever female Vice President of the United States in January 2021. That choice echoed previous inauguration events which saw 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the current First Lady Jill Biden also wear shades of purple. But has it always been this way? Why has purple endured? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Why is sugar bad for our memory?

In May 2016, I surprised my daughter for her 18th birthday with a getaway to New York City to see her favorite play, Hamilton, in the Richard Rogers Theater with the original cast. We would fly out for a day and then fly back. It would cost way too much money, I'd get my wallet stolen, but I only had one daughter, and you only turned 18 once.We were both obsessed with Hamilton. We knew every word of every song. It lived inside of us. It wasn't just that it was brilliant, funny, moving, inventive and original. It also reminded all of us what this country's founding principles were about. Best of all, it made learning history fun and cool. It was Schoolhouse Rock for a new generation.When taking long road trips, we would blast the soundtrack, screaming every word. We'd start at the beginning and run through the entire play. Our inside jokes were witty asides from the play that we'd quote to each other so often that we had to force ourselves to stop because, after years of this, it was getting old.By casting so many diverse people to play historical figures and making it a hip-hop musical, Hamilton was a bridge to the Black communities that were so often excluded from the Broadway experience and elite culture in general. Hamilton was for everybody, I thought. That was eight years ago.As a devoted Obama supporter and, in 2016, a Hillary Clinton loyalist, I was overjoyed at the prospect of the first woman president to follow the first Black president. Heading into the election, I wrote this piece:I wrote:The election of Hillary Clinton is one of the most important battles in the war between two Americas. One America was built and maintained exclusively by and for white men. That demographic has awakened extremists on the left and right. The other America redeems the promise of possibility for everyone, no matter their status or skin color or class. That America has produced the nation's first black president who not only lasted one term, but two, and who now promises to make history by helping elect another Democrat to follow his two terms. Electing Hillary Clinton doesn't just say, “We're electing a woman for the first time in our country's history.” It also dares to say the first black American president was so successful he did the impossible by electing his chosen successor.I didn't notice back then that the Clinton campaign rented the entire Richard Rogers theater as a fundraiser. Tickets start at $2,700 a pop. I would never have thought twice about it. We were on the right side. It was an “all-of-society” effort to stop Trump. We were the good guys fighting the good fight, so why wouldn't Hamilton be used that way?Lin-Manuel Miranda's entire career exists only because of Barack Obama. 15 years ago, in 2009, in Obama's first year in office, Miranda performed this at the White House:Over the years, Obama would co-opt the reputations and careers of major artists like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Hanks, and, yes, Lin-Manuel Miranda. They would become ride-or-die for the president, which wasn't something I would have noticed back then.As Miranda's play exploded and became instantly profitable and popular, we all took that to mean that everyone wanted to be included in our America. It was the better, cooler America. But that changed when Trump won. Now, all we could see was a hostile country that just rejected us.Even when the cast called out Mike Pence during the performance to protest the Trump administration, I never thought about whether it was bipartisan or not. I knew it wasn't and I agreed with it. I couldn't see the line between art and propaganda.But now I can. All it took was this statement by the producer of Hamilton, Jeffrey Seller, wherein the play cancels itself, hiding behind the usual gaslighting and rationalizations so common on the left:Notice right off the language here. He is doing what all establishment Democrats and Republicans have done for eight years: ignore the voices of the people. Trump defeated them not once but twice. If you believe in the founding principles of this country, you must respect their voices. But they don't. The message they give is not for all Americans. It is only those Americans who agree with their ongoing delusions about Trump.What they can't stand is that Trump is now saying this culture does not belong only to them anymore. It belongs to all of us, even the unwashed masses all of them abandoned years ago and continue to demonize in films, in plays, in comedy, in journalism, in all of their award shows. We're to accept that this only goes one way. That they have a right to decide what our culture will be and Trump and his supporters do not.You did this. YOU did this. You forced Trump and his supporters to beat down the walls of the castle to be included in America's culture. This is YOUR fault. You politicized it. You pushed propaganda on all of us for years. And now, you can't stand it that you no longer control it, can you?Trump's second win was a complete and total humiliation and repudiation. They still refuse to learn that lesson. They refuse to move aside and allow this country to evolve into whatever it will be now. This is a public episode.

00:00:00 - The episode kicks off with casual banter, including voice strain from a concert, password-resetting jokes, and a backlog of Alex Jones clips. The hosts dive into an extended segment of Alex Jones' past rants, featuring over-the-top claims and signature outbursts. 00:10:00 - Scientific protests and funding struggles—scientists are organizing against budget cuts, with some forming a new lobbying group to influence policy. The hosts mock the idea of scientists feeling entitled to government funding and joke about dead-end research projects like studies on chimpanzee urination habits. 00:20:00 - Discussion of a study linking belief in conspiracy theories to spitefulness. The hosts argue that many official narratives, like the Nord Stream pipeline explosion or COVID-19 policies, were initially dismissed as conspiracy theories but later found merit. They criticize the mainstream framing of skepticism as irrational. 00:30:00 - Joe Rogan discussion—the hosts joke about compiling a database of Rogan's soundbites to create an AI-generated Rogan interview. They also play a clip about identifying psyops, arguing that censorship is a key indicator of psychological operations. 00:40:00 - James Bond Jr. legal case—a man named James Bond Jr. was jailed for 60 days because police thought he was lying about his name. The hosts find this absurd and discuss how tone and sarcasm can lead to police escalation. 00:50:00 - The JD Vance meme phenomenon—the internet has exploded with "fat head" JD Vance memes, depicting him as Bob Ross, a Black woman, a Halo gamer, and even a pro wrestler. The hosts react to these bizarre edits and discuss how meme culture has become a political tool. 01:00:00 - AOC's immigration comments—AOC claims that Republicans are building "private prison camp pipelines" rather than addressing immigration. The hosts criticize her misrepresentation of the legislation, pointing out how the Lakein Riley Act (named after a murdered woman) was twisted into an attack on Dreamers. 01:10:00 - Trump's speech highlights—a major line from Trump states that "all we needed was a new president" to fix the border crisis, implying Biden's executive orders caused the surge. Polling suggests many Americans found the speech entertaining and agreed with its sentiment. 01:20:00 - Trump exposes absurd government spending—in an extended segment, Trump lists billions wasted on projects like: $20 million for "Arab Sesame Street" $10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique $22 billion for free housing & cars for illegal immigrants $8 million for transgender research on mice $42 million for “social behavior change” in Uganda $250K for vegan climate action in Zambia The hosts highlight how Democrats refuse to address these wasteful expenditures. 01:30:00 - Elon Musk vs. the deep state—Democrats criticize Musk's access to IRS data, calling his team a "gang of twenty-year-olds" with dangerous oversight of private records. The hosts point out the hypocrisy, referencing Hillary Clinton's private email server scandal. They argue that government systems are outdated, and Musk's involvement might actually improve efficiency. 01:40:00 - Ian Crossland on Joe Rogan—Rogan interviews Ian Crossland from Timcast, discussing controlled opposition and how Alex Jones has been consistently right for decades. They recall Jones' early coverage of staged provocateurs at protests, suggesting history is repeating itself. 01:50:00 - PizzaGate discussion resurfaces—They revisit the weird Instagram posts of James Alefantis, archived evidence, and how the media intentionally misrepresented the scandal to discredit the investigation.

Bill and Hillary Clinton have a relationship with Epstein that goes back to at least 1993.

This week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy reminds listeners of the threats that made President Trump's recent Executive Order, "Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats," necessary. The Center for Immigration Studies maintains a comprehensive database detailing examples of preventable federal government vetting failures which resulted in the entry of individuals who posed a threat to national security. Todd Bensman, the Center's national security fellow, has recently added new cases into the database, highlighting the need for the improvement of U.S. vetting processes. “The Center's database offers valuable insights for preventing future threats,” said Bensman. “I hope this crucial tool for understanding past failures will be useful to the Trump administration's renewed robust security vetting efforts.”Key Highlights:Purpose: The database identifies fail points in the complex immigration security screening system, providing insights for homeland security agencies and congressional overseers to strengthen future vetting processes.Analysis: Each entry includes an after-action report detailing what went wrong, offering lessons to improve future vetting procedures. Users can access all primary research materials used in the analyses.Notable Cases Highlighted: The database contains over 50 entries revealing the entry of foreign threat actors, including a Brazilian ex-police officer who had committed mass murder; a Bosnian war criminal who ran prison camps and was involved in brutal interrogations, torturing, and the killing of inmates; and an Egyptian student who was involved in a plot to bomb the Israeli embassy.Historical Context: The 9/11 attacks prompted a comprehensive overhaul of U.S. immigration vetting processes. The year 2008 was chosen as the starting date for collecting vetting failure cases on the assumption that the first series of 9/11 visa vetting reforms would have fully vested by then and because significant new process improvements were implemented that year.In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director and podcast host, highlights President Trump's success in securing the border, achieving the lowest level of apprehensions recorded in history. Will this administration and future administrations stay vigilant?HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration StudiesGuestTodd Bensman is a National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedDatabase: National Security Vetting FailuresEgyptian Student Added to CIS National Security Vetting Failures DatabaseAfghan Evacuee Added to CIS National Security Vetting DatabaseBrazilian Mass Murderer Who Slipped through U.S. Vetting Three Times Is Added to CIS DatabasePanel: A New Database of Vetting FailuresCommonplace: They Said It Couldn't Be DoneThe Greatest Mass MIgration Border Crisis in U.S. History Is OverIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

In this episode Bill discusses the concerns around the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) with Dr. Rob Davidson, ER doc and the Executive Director of the Committee to Protect Healthcare. Davidson expresses concerns about Kennedy's history of anti-vaccine advocacy and his potential impact on public health policies. Key issues discussed include the measles outbreak in Texas, the threat of a bird flu pandemic, the cancellation of a key flu vaccine committee meeting, and the potential cuts to funding for the CDC and NIH that could undermine critical public health research. Dr. Davidson also raises concerns about Kennedy's lack of understanding of key healthcare programs like Medicaid and Medicare, and the risk of these programs being undermined under his leadership. Overall, the episode highlights the significant public health risks posed by having an HHS Secretary with a history of spreading misinformation about vaccines and a disregard for scientific evidence.Today Bill highlights the work of the nations' nurses and their Union, National Nurses United with 225,000 members.

Voices - Conversations on Business and Human Rights from Around the World
The adoption of the UNGPs in 2011 was a seminal moment and acknowledgement of the influence of business on people's rights. In the years that have passed since then, what have we learned about whether and how companies can respect human rights while pursuing profits? To help answer this question IHRB's CEO, John Morrison, speaks to Mike Posner, a human rights lawyer, former Assistant Secretary of State under Hilary Clinton, and founder of the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University.
Today's show is full of information. Of course, it's Tuesday. Every Tuesday, Steve Baker joins us at the show's second hour. He fills in several gaps in our understanding of much of the insanity we are watching play out before our eyes as U.S. Democrats are running around screaming, "The Sky is Falling!" Before Steve joins us, we address the fallout from that Friday meeting and what it means to the U.S. political system. We discuss the vapid responses from Democrats that claim that from that Friday Oval Office meeting, it's clear that Donald Trump is in cahoots with Russian President Vladimir Putin! Of course, that's nonsense. After all, we're still waiting for Adam Schiff (D-CA) to provide the nation the evidence -- "uncontroverted evidence -- he has that proves Trump was assisted in his 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton by Vladimir Putin, who put Trump in the White House! There's MUCH more in the show today! Stay close: it's important that Americans lock-in on the facts of everything happening in the next few weeks!

Beneath the surface of mainstream history lies a tangled web of cover-ups, corruption, and unanswered questions. Author and researcher Donald Jeffries joins me to expose the real stories they don't want you to know—stories that suggest America's ruling elite will do anything to maintain their grip on power.Was the Oklahoma City bombing really the work of a lone wolf, or was it a deep-state operation designed to justify a crackdown on anti-government groups? How did so many people connected to Bill and Hillary Clinton end up dead under mysterious circumstances—including White House insider Vince Foster? And what really happened to John F. Kennedy Jr.—was his plane crash an accident, or was he taken out before he could challenge the political establishment? Richard welcomes, author/researcher Donald Jeffries, who lays out the case for a decades-long campaign of deception. If you think you know the history of the 1990s, think again.

Amid the lackluster Epstein revelations from Pam Bondi, there are new questions about rogue agents within the intelligence community. The news comes as James Comey faces a fresh investigation by the Kash Patel-led FBI... In today's show, George Papadopoulos tells Trish Regan that the Deep State planted spies in not only the Trump campaign back in 2016, but in other top GOP campaigns as well. He explains how there was "a full scale targeting or rivals to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama...They wanted to make sure they had information on all potential Republican nominees." Comey....watch out.

The latest episode of the Center for Immigration Studies podcast series features guest host Senior National Security Fellow Todd Bensman in conversation with Jaeson Jones, a leading expert on Mexican cartels and a border correspondent.This timely discussion highlights the recent designation of six Mexican drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) by the Trump administration and the multifaceted approach by all levels of government that this permits, allowing the U.S. to combat the cartels in sync with the Mexican government.Key topics covered include:Evolution of Mexican Cartels: Exploration of how Mexican cartels, now in 65 countries around the world, have transitioned from organized crime syndicates to parallel governments in Mexico, exhibiting extreme violence and governmental infiltration.Advocacy for FTO Designation: Discussion on Jones' rationale for advocating for the FTO designation, emphasizing the need for enhanced legal frameworks to effectively combat the rapid and violent operations of cartels.Strategic Framework Post-Designation: Analysis of the comprehensive approach required to dismantle cartel networks, underscoring the necessity for coordinated efforts across all branches of government.Implications of FTO Status: Examination of the potential outcomes of the FTO designation, including:Revocation of visas for individuals associated with designated cartels.Inclusion of cartel affiliates on no-fly lists.Enhanced capabilities to target and seize financial assets linked to cartel operations.Addressing Fentanyl Trafficking: Strategies to combat the smuggling of fentanyl, focusing on disrupting supply chains originating from countries such as China, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, and addressing the corruption within Mexico that facilitates these operations.Game Changer: Prediction by Jones – With the FTO designation, the number of lives we can now save is unprecedented.In his closing commentary, Bensman highlights the recent agreement between Mexico and the United States, in which Mexico will deploy 10,000 additional troops to the border, and the United States will assist in intercepting American guns that end up in cartel hands. However, Bensman notes a lack of reliable evidence supporting the claim that most of the cartels' firearms come from U.S. gun stores. The cartels have, for years, equipped themselves with military-grade weapons from Mexico's own corrupt military and from the armories of corrupt officials in Central American and South American nations.HostTodd Bensman is a National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestJaeson Jones is an expert on Mexican cartels and a border correspondent.RelatedJaeson Jones WebsiteJaeson Jones on XAmerican Guns Are Not to Blame for Mexico's Cartel ProblemIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

trish #news #politics Trish Regan Show Ep 5-34 In today’s LIVE edition of The Trish Regan Show, I’m digging even further into what my friend Dan Bongino’s appointment to the FBI will mean for Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, and others.

Ed in Huntington NY calls Mark to let him know Jill Biden joined a cabinet meeting under Joe Biden. CNN is pushing a narrative about how Elon Musk is not supposed to be in the cabinet meeting. Linda in Long Island NY called Mark to ask him if the republicans will go after Hillary Clinton's corruption and lies.
“He who holds the gold makes the rules,” Mark would quip, adding “and the ultimate gold is black. Black mail videos.” My whole life those ruling our world by Blackmail termed themselves New World Order of the Rose. The Order of the Rose was a secret society of self-appointed, self-anointed leaders comprised of Jesuits and CIA. These power mongers did not trust each other either, so they kept compromisingly perverse Blackmail videos of each other filmed during secret meetings. As a young child, I was sex trafficked to various politicians and global leaders who met at what was the Epstein Island of its time Mackinac Island Michigan. Most perpeTraitors I was exposed to were aware that they were being covertly filmed since it was the ultimate rule of being a secret society Order of the Rose member. It was also understood that these Blackmail videos were held in vaults at the Vatican, through the infiltrated Mafia network, and by various individuals. One such individual that held Blackmail videos in the 1980s was Hollywood actor Michael Dante'. I had cause to see Dante's wall of vaults when I was in his Hollywood home in 1986 as detailed in my testimony for Congress TRANCE Formation of America. How does a B grade actor come into such a high position as keeper of the Blackmail? Dante' was closely associated with Jack Valenti, head of the Motion Picture Association of America and godfather over Hollywood and politics due to his friendships with Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill and Hillary Clinton, the Vatican and more. Jack Valenti's power grew when the New World Order gained control through the Kennedy Assassination. Valenti fed us the media cover-up for Ford's Warren Commission, first coining the term “conspiracy theorist” for anyone questioning the narrative. Black mail and infiltration had blurred the line between Vatican Jesuits, the Mafia, and CIA which Michael Dante' epitomized by wearing all hats. Seemingly tied to everyone, Dante's position put him in charge of covert filming at the Bohemian Grove, Clintons' Swiss Villa Amphitheater in Lampe, Missouri, and spontaneous meeting places such as the one where I was trafficked in Malibu where Bush, Reagan, Salinas, De la Madrid, and more had met to finalize criminal groundwork for NAFTA. Dante' had seen it all, done it all, and held the evidence much like the Diddy or Epstein of his day. I was about to turn 30 and was scheduled to be sacrificed at Bohemian Grove for what I knew about inner operations of the New World Order, specifically Order of the Rose. Dante's vault also held Snuff films proving the execution of those like me who ‘knew too much'. This word had reached intelligence insider Mark Phillips, who ultimately intercepted me enroute to my executioner Michael Dante. Mark saved me from certain death, and my daughter Kelly from a fate worse than death. Because I had been programmed heavily under MK Ultra mind control to go to Michael Dante', I was obsessed with the need to fulfill my mission. Mark's initial efforts to keep my daughter and me safe were strenuous under the circumstances, especially considering we were literally dodging bullets that I was straining to run back into as programmed. Mark asked me who was shooting at us, insisting I write it out by hand and not vocalize. Writing it out defused my programming and showed me my truth. As quickly as I wrote out memory, it was validated by clean members of intelligence and law enforcement. William Von Raab of US Customs validated my testimony detailing groundwork for NAFTA that was rooted in drug and human trafficking across open borders, which in turn funded the New World Order.

As a second grader, Zerlina Maxwell was obsessed with politics, so it was no surprise that she would go on to work for two presidential campaigns. Today, she is a highly regarded political analyst, a best-selling author, and host of 'Mornings with Zerlina' on SiriusXM. A little over a month into this presidency, we are already in the 'find out' stage. With a wealth of experience, Zerlina joins Sophia to help break down the current state of things, what Democrats missed with their messaging, how they can improve communication to connect with everyday people, and the valuable lessons she learned from working on the campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
TrishRegan #news Full Episode 5-33 Lester Holt joins Joy Reid on the unemployed list. The longtime host of the NBC signature program “Nightly News” is leaving his post, as Joy Reid and others learn their fates. New video today of Joy Reid sobbing and claiming “my show had value”… I would dispute that. Meanwhile, my friend Dan Bongino is heading to the FBI! Trish says this means big trouble for the Clintons and Hunter… Kash plus Dan is quite a combo. From Russia, Russia, Russia to the Clinton Global Initiative - it's all on the table. And Dan, like Kash, knows his stuff. Dan Bongino, for what it's worth, also happens to have been Hillary Clinton's former Secret Service detail -- and he's not a fan. President Trump says the war in Ukraine is coming to and end - we have the latest from the White House and… The Philadelphia Eagles may still be heading to Washington DC to meet with the President and celebrate their win. (Could their mayor just learn to spell the team name first?) Those stories and more in today’s live edition of The Trish Regan Show.
In this episode, Bill and Elie Mystal, The Nation Magazine's Justice Correspondent, discuss the ongoing chaos and damage caused by the Trump administration and its close ties to Elon Musk including: The firing of prominent Black figures like Joy Reid of MSNBC and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Charles Q. Brown Jr., which Mystal argues is part of a broader effort to remove Black voices and influence from the government and media. Concerns about Trump and Musk's disregard for the rule of law, including their apparent willingness to defy court orders and undermine federal agencies and regulations. The lack of meaningful checks on Trump's power, with Mystal arguing the courts and Congress have become ineffective in constraining the executive branch.The broader context of ongoing efforts to roll back Civil Rights progress and return to more overt forms of racism and discrimination under the guise of "merit-based" hiring.Despite the bleak outlook, Mystal maintains a glimmer of hope that the current authoritarian push will ultimately be short-lived, drawing parallels to the fall of other historical regimes that sought to establish long-lasting dictatorships.You can read Mystal at The Nation and pre-order his new book, Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That are Ruining America at Bookshop.org.

The legendary Perry Barber returns to talk to the boys about her four decades behind the plate, whether or not we're getting closer to a female umpire in the Major Leagues, her friendship with Chicago folk singer Steve Goodman, hanging out with Hillary Clinton and that crazy summer fifty years ago that put her front and center with Lorne Michaels, Chevy Chase and the “Not Ready for Primetime Players”.

[EP 25-073] How much crazier can Leftists get? Oh trust me, they haven't reached bottom yet. I don't know what news sources you follow, but you don't need to be Einstein to see how Leftism works. LIE. REPEATEDLY.It's interesting to watch people lie, when they know that you know they are lying. Have you been in this situation before. You know, where you have VIDEO EVIDENCE of a lie, and yet the person caught on video, watching the video with you, clearly stating their name and address on VIDEO, declare, “That's not me!” Remember how Democrats claimed that we deep-faked Biden's appearances?Remember when Comey read the litany of abuses by Hillary Clinton, then didn't pursue charges? Remember all the media pundits who declared that Hunter Biden did NOTHING wrong, when we had his laptop that showed him documenting himself doing EVERYTHING wrong. Committing all kinds of crimes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.
In the latest episode of the Bill Press Pod, Bill interviews CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who discusses his new book, The Pardon: The Politics of Presidential Mercy. (Click the link to purchase.) Before addressing the book, they dive into current legal controversies, notably Trump's influence in New York, where a U.S. Attorney resigned rather than drop a case against Mayor Eric Adams, raising alarms about the politicization of the Justice Department.Toobin compares the situation to the "Saturday Night Massacre," noting the troubling implications and potential quid pro quo involved in the dismissal request. He argues that Trump's administration is projecting its own actions onto others, accusing Democrats of weaponizing the DOJ while engaging in similar behaviors themselves.The conversation shifts to executive orders from the Trump administration that some critics view as legally questionable. Toobin underscores the challenge of accountability, mentioning that state attorneys general have been stepping in to address these overreaches but acknowledges they face difficulties against a Republican-dominated government.Toobin articulates a crucial warning about the potential for a constitutional crisis if the administration openly defies court rulings. He cites historical precedents, noting that the rule of law has long dictated that the courts, not the executive branch, determine constitutionality.They move on to Toobin's book that evaluates the presidential pardon power, emphasizing its political nature rather than legal. Toobin acknowledges that while it is subject to abuse, it can also serve compassionately, highlighting the disparities in pardons by various presidents, including Biden's controversial pardon of his son, Hunter Biden.Lastly, the conversation addresses Trump's pardons, especially the January 6th rioters, which Toobin describes as a grotesque abuse of power, compounding the larger trend towards authoritarianism within the administration. He concludes that these actions contradict principles of equal legal treatment and reinforce systemic corruption by rewarding allies and punishing adversaries.Overall, the episode critiques the current political landscape, underlining the importance of maintaining the integrity of legal institutions in the face of executive overreach.Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by More information at Follow Bill on X at @BillPressPods and on Blue Sky at @BillPress.bsky.social.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
