Alaska State Troopers last week arrested a Homer man who is accused of sexually assaulting an elderly woman multiple times. The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, paid U.S. Coast Guard Base Kodiak, a roughly four-hour visit yesterday, but officials haven't said why. A Japanese theatrical musical performance group is touring Alaska and kicked off their first show in Wrangell on Saturday.

The Department of Homeland Security used its discretionary powers to revoke the green card and annul the marriage of a father of three after his prior marriage was deemed a sham that was conducted for immigration status. Thanks for joining me for this episode!

Kevin and Bill Jack discuss the importance of a father figure in the lives of boys. Men who never had a father figure won't take responsibility for their own children and families. This leads to a world of men like Andrew Tate, rooted in self-love, anger, and apathy. Christian men should be pro-life, pro-family, and pro-biblical sexuality in every way, shape, and form.

The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Bill allows interrogation of homeschool parents, Country band censored by TV station over patriotic song, Homeland Security revokes student visa of terrorist sympathizer) 2.

The Trump White House is using Department of Homeland Security intelligence to identify pro-Palestinian college protestors. Courts have ruled that campus protests are protected by the First Amendment. But as the Trump administration seeks to punish speech it does not like, whose first amendment rights are next?

It's Monday, March 17th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Texas university lecturer on video harassing evangelist put on leave A University of Texas at Arlington philosophy lecturer who was seen in a viral video harassing a Christian evangelist says he's been placed on administrative leave, reports The Christian Post. In a video shared on March 9th, Charles Hermes, an undergraduate advisor and senior lecturer of Philosophy, is seen shouting "No justice!" at a pro-life street preacher during a pro-abortion rally in Fort Worth. The evangelist is heard asking, "Do you believe in Jesus?" to several bystanders in the video.  A campus reporter enters the frame and asks the preacher, "Why are you here?" The preacher replies, "I am here because I was brought here. I am here because all the children that are dying.” Proverbs 24:11 says, “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.” Senate passes funding bill to avert government shutdown Last Friday, the U.S. Senate approved a House-passed bill to extend government funding by six months, hours before a shutdown deadline, reports The Epoch Times. In an initial procedural vote, 11 Senate Democrats joined Republicans to advance the measure. Afterwards, the Senate passed the bill in a 54–46 vote. Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Independent Senator Angus King of Vermont supported final passage. Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky was the only Republican to oppose the package, because there were not deeper cuts in spending. PAUL: “President Trump has pledged to balance the budget. I want to help him with this task, but to balance the budget requires much less spending than this current bill entails. “Our national debt now exceeds $36 trillion. That's 124% of the size of our economy. That should not be a surprise. We're adding $2 trillion every year to the debt, this year included. “Critics of excessive federal spending have rightly argued that we should return spending to pre-pandemic levels. This is something I could support. The spending bill before us, though, spends $400 billion more than we were spending before the pandemic. Spending went through the roof during the pandemic, and it never came back down. And the deficits are out of control. “In order for this bill to get back to pre-pandemic levels, it would have to be $400 billion less. That's something I could support.” The legislation, which extends government funding through September 30, now heads to the desk of President Donald Trump, who's expected to sign it. Homeland Security revokes student visa of terrorist sympathizer Last Friday, the Department of Homeland Security announced it revoked the visa of one Columbia University student escalating its crackdown on those engaged in pro-Hamas demonstrations over the conflict in Gaza, reports The Hill. The stripping of the visa comes just days after the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a former grad student at the university, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Khalil has a green card. Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained the Trump administration's actions. RUBIO: “When you come to the United States as a visitor, which is what a visa is, we can deny you that visa. We can deny you that if you tell us, when you apply, ‘Hi, I'm trying to get into the United States on a student visa. I am a big supporter of Hamas, a murderous, barbaric group that kidnaps children, that rapes teenage girls, that takes hostages, that allows them to die in captivity, that returns more bodies than live hostages.' If you tell us, … ‘I intend to come to your country as a student, and rile up all kinds of anti-Jewish student, antisemitic activities.' ... “This is not about free speech. This is about people that don't have a right to be in the United States to begin with. No one has a right to a student visa. No one has a right to a green card.” Bill allows interrogation of homeschool parents Illinois homeschool advocates and supporters of private education are warning about a bill in the Illinois House that could involve the invasion of personal privacy and lead to government intrusion into the rights of parents to educate their children, reports LifeSiteNews.com. It's based on model legislation supported by a Massachusetts-based group that also warns about “parental rights extremism” and “Christian fundamentalists.” Illinois House Bill 2827 “would create new requirements for homeschooling families to report their educational activities to authorities,” according to the Home School Legal Defense Association. Deuteronomy 6:7 says, “You shall teach [the Commands of God] diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” The group, along with Illinois Christian Home Educators, recently had more than 2,000 people come out to the state capitol to rally in support of educational freedom. More than 20,000 people have also filled out witness slips against the pending bill and only 500 have voiced support. The legislation was introduced by Illinois Democratic Rep. Terra Costa-Howard and co-sponsored by another 15 State Reps. under the guise of protecting kids in homeschool from abuse and ensuring they're aware of opportunities for medical care and activities through their local school district.

Country band censored by TV station over patriotic song And finally, the Dugger Band, a patriotic country music group, was censored by television station WSMV in Nashville, Tennessee, reports Christian talk radio host Todd Starnes. The brothers -- Jordan and Seth Dugger -- had written a song called “True Colors.” They had been invited to perform on the station's “Today in Nashville” program. But when station management read the lyrics – they told the boys from the mountains of East Tennessee that it was politically biased – because it promoted America. The Dugger brothers said, “We wrote this song because we're proud to be Americans and we're tired of people putting the USA down.” Listen to some of the lyrics that offended the management at WSMV TV. “You're just sitting there sipping on that Starbucks cup Hating on everything, not doing anything I crank up some Toby Keith Climb back in my truck [Pre-Chorus] “And it don't matter where the chips may fall That Statue of Liberty will be standing tall The best part about the land of the free Is if you don't like it, you're free to leave [Chorus] “But I ain't leaving here I'm an eighth generation God-fearing blue collar with the flag waving And I don't wait for the Fourth of July It′s year round, life-long American pride “And right here, right now, I'm drawing the line If this country ain't something you can stand bеhind Then that's the differеnce 'tween me and you 'Cause my true colors are red, white and blue” If you object to WSMV-TV's decision to prohibit The Dugger Band from performing their patriotic song “True Colors,” send a polite email to comments@wsmv.com. You can call (615) 353-4444 Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Or send a 2-sentence letter to Jasmine Hardin, General Manager, WSMV-TV, 5700 Knob Road, Nashville, TN 37209.

On today's podcast: 1) President Donald Trump said he’ll speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday as the US presses for an end to fighting in Ukraine and European nations rush to bolster their support for Kyiv.“We are doing pretty well I think with Russia,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday. “We’ll see if we have something to announce maybe by Tuesday,” he said, adding that there is “a very good chance” for a deal. The Trump administration has pushed for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine amid a flurry of renewed engagement between Washington and Moscow, three years after Russia’s full-scale invasion. Yet that effort has sparked angst among European leaders who worry Trump may concede too much on Ukraine’s behalf in a direct exchange with Putin and leave Kyiv without any longer-term security guarantees. 2) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a former hedge fund manager, said he’s not worried about the recent downturn that’s wiped trillions of dollars from the equities market as the US seeks to reshape its economic policies. “I’ve been in the investment business for 35 years, and I can tell you that corrections are healthy, they are normal,” Bessent said Sunday on NBC’s Meet The Press. “I‘m not worried about the markets. Over the long term, if we put good tax policy in place, deregulation and energy security, the markets will do great.” 3) The Trump administration said it arrested and expelled hundreds of alleged members of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang to El Salvador for imprisonment, even as a federal judge ordered a halt to some deportations.“This weekend, at the President’s direction, the Department of Homeland Security successfully arrested nearly 300 Tren De Aragua terrorists, saving countless American lives,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Sunday in a statement. “These heinous monsters were extracted and removed to El Salvador where they will no longer be able to pose any threat to the American People.”The US is paying El Salvador to hold the Venezuelans under an agreement Secretary of State Marco Rubio brokered with the Central American country’s president, Nayib Bukele. Some 238 members of the gang were transferred to a terrorism confinement center, Bukele said on X. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Department of Homeland Security has selected Antoine McCord as its new chief information officer, a spokesperson with the agency's Management Directorate confirmed Friday. As CIO, McCord will be tasked with overseeing DHS's roughly $11 billion IT budget, the largest of any federal agency in fiscal 2025. A bio for McCord on the DHS website said he “emphasizes mission-driven leadership, focusing on operations to neutralize threats against the Department.” Details about McCord's background are scarce, beyond what's contained in that DHS bio page. According to the agency, he served in the U.S. Marine Corps, specializing in cyber and intelligence operations and “gaining hands-on experience in threat detection and technology integration.” After his time with the Marines, McCord joined the U.S. Intelligence Community, according to DHS, in roles that saw him oversee cyber operations against advanced threats and serve as an adviser on national security issues. McCord will be stepping into a CIO role that was filled during the Biden administration by Eric Hysen, who also led the department's artificial intelligence efforts. Hysen, a Google alum and a founding member of the White House's U.S. Digital Service, oversaw the creation of DHS's AI Corps, the publication of an AI roadmap and the release of commercial generative AI guidance. Firings at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have former workers, lawmakers, and advocates concerned about impact on the agency's efforts to produce climate and weather information critical to public safety. NOAA is one of many federal agencies in the U.S. that has cut probationary workers in recent weeks as part of President Donald Trump's plan to reduce the size of the federal government. While critics of the Trump administration have argued the rapid and widespread staffing reductions could have adverse consequences across the government, the picture they paint with respect to NOAA's terminations is particularly grim. That's because the agency's mission impacts every American, former NOAA workers told FedScoop. The recent cuts to staff put that work at risk, particularly for areas at the agency where staffing levels were already an issue, they said. What's more, there are areas outside of staffing cuts where efficiencies could have been achieved through consolidating work and technology advancements.

Sen. Chuck Schumer faces the ire of furious Democrats incensed that he helped Trump and Musk pass their government funding bill. Plus, the detainment of a Columbia University student activist raises alarms over free speech in America.

Homeland Security Weekly Update - March 15, 2025 by AlertsUSA, Inc.

What's the Republican spending bill all about? It's an extremely dangerous powergab engineered by Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and dirty lawyer who came up with the legal strategy to try to overturn the 2020 election. The Republican spending bill essentially grants legal protections to Trump and Musk's ongoing illegal mass purge, to protect them against court orders–one of the last levers of power we have left. Any Democrat who votes for this is complicit in Trump and Musk's tech-backed coup, illegally mass firing federal workers to replace them with an A.I. surveillance state. This week's episode continues our conversation with Gil Durán of the Third Reich and FrameLab newsletters on Controlled Opposition—those Vichy Democrats who refuse to stand up to the fascist Republicans in power. But why? What's in it for them? In a dictatorship, no one is safe—not even former allies like Putin, who've found themselves mysteriously falling out of windows or exploding mid-air. Why are some Democrats still playing the role of complicit bystanders? The Senate is gearing up to vote on the extreme Republican spending bill, which slashes life-saving programs like Head Start and community health centers, while funneling billions to the Pentagon and Homeland Security. At a time when Trump is threatening to invade Canada and Greenland, and ICE is denying due process to green card holders like Mahmoud Khalil, the stakes couldn't be higher. The bill also cuts Washington, DC's budget—an attempt to punish the city for daring to protest Trump's corrupt regime. But here's the thing: shutting down the government doesn't empower Trump or Musk—it forces Democrats to get on the front lines and expose the Republican spending bill for what it really is: a power grab designed to protect Trump and Musk's illegal tech-backed coup. There's hope, though. While Trump and Musk face a future of justice (their approval ratings are plummeting), we need to keep fighting back.  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Bishop Michael Hunn Responds to Department of Homeland Security : Defending Our Border Ministry In this video, Bishop Michael Hunn of the Diocese of the Rio Grande addresses the recent letter from the Department of Homeland Security insinuating the diocese's involvement in illegal activities, including human trafficking. Bishop Hunn outlines the diocese's longstanding ministry efforts along the U.S.-Mexico border, including the operation of a shelter for legal asylum seekers in partnership with Homeland Security's Border Patrol and ICE. He underscores the legality and moral grounding of their work, rooted in Christian teachings and constitutional rights. Despite the scrutiny and funding withdrawal from FEMA, he reaffirms their commitment to aiding asylum seekers and invites support through prayers and donations. 00:00 Introduction and Background 00:32 Insinuations from Homeland Security 00:43 Reading the Letter 01:33 Response to the Letter 02:03 Details of the Shelter Operations 03:49 Partnership with Government Agencies 04:21 Financial Reimbursements and Current Issues 05:06 Call to Action and Conclusion

This Day in Legal History: Jack Ruby ConvictedOn March 14, 1964, Jack Ruby was convicted of murdering Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy. Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner, had shot Oswald on live television two days after Kennedy's assassination, as police were transferring Oswald from the city jail. The highly publicized trial concluded with a guilty verdict, and Ruby was sentenced to death. However, in 1966, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals overturned the conviction, ruling that improper testimony had been admitted and that the trial should not have taken place in Dallas, where impartiality was questionable. A retrial was ordered, but before it could proceed, Ruby died of lung cancer on January 3, 1967. His actions and their legal consequences remain a topic of debate, with some believing he was motivated by grief and others suspecting a broader conspiracy.Ruby testified before the Warren Commission in July 1964, providing a rambling account of his mental state and possible connections to figures of interest. Arlen Specter, a future U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, was among those questioning him. The case highlighted due process concerns, particularly regarding venue changes in high-profile trials, and underscored the legal system's challenges in handling emotionally charged cases with national significance.Two federal judges, one in Maryland and another in California, have ordered the Trump administration to reinstate thousands of probationary federal workers who were fired as part of a sweeping effort to shrink the government. The rulings represent the most significant legal challenge yet to Trump and adviser Elon Musk's aggressive push to cut federal jobs. The Maryland case, led by 20 Democratic-led states, targeted 18 agencies accused of unlawfully dismissing workers without following required procedures. Judge James Bredar ruled that the firings amounted to mass layoffs requiring prior notice to state governments.In California, Judge William Alsup reached a similar conclusion, ordering reinstatement for workers at six agencies, including the Department of Defense. He criticized the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for directing agencies to fire workers en masse without legal authority. The Trump administration argues that probationary employees have few job protections and can be terminated for nearly any reason. However, Democratic-led states claim the firings violated regulations requiring agencies to provide 60 days' notice before mass layoffs.At least 24,000 probationary workers have been fired since Trump returned to office, affecting agencies such as the EPA, Department of Education, and Homeland Security. The Merit Systems Protection Board has also intervened, recently ordering the Agriculture Department to temporarily reinstate nearly 6,000 workers. Meanwhile, unions and advocacy groups continue legal efforts to block further terminations, with the American Federation of Government Employees calling the rulings a victory against an administration aiming to cripple federal agencies. The Trump administration has vowed to fight back against the court orders, arguing they undermine presidential authority.Fired Workers at 18 Agencies Reinstated in Court Blow to TrumpUS judges order Trump administration to reinstate thousands of fired workersColumbia University has issued severe punishments to students involved in a pro-Palestinian protest that occupied a campus building last spring, including expulsions and temporary degree revocations. The announcement follows the Trump administration's decision to cancel $400 million in federal funding to the university, citing an inadequate response to antisemitism. Interim President Katrina Armstrong acknowledged the government's concerns and pledged cooperation. However, the university has not disclosed the number of students disciplined, nor their identities, citing privacy laws.Critics argue the crackdown is politically motivated, particularly since the expelled student union president, Grant Miner, was removed just before contract negotiations with the university. The Trump administration has escalated its efforts against what it labels "pro-Hamas" protests, detaining Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil, a protest leader, for deportation—though a federal judge has temporarily blocked the move. These actions raise serious concerns about the suppression of campus activism and whether the university's response was driven by financial and political pressure rather than an impartial disciplinary process.Columbia's handling of the protests appears to be shaped more by government pressure than by a genuine commitment to campus safety or free speech. The timing of expulsions, particularly targeting a union leader, suggests a broader effort to stifle dissent rather than uphold academic integrity. The federal crackdown on protesters further complicates the situation, blurring the line between addressing antisemitism and suppressing legitimate political expression.Columbia University punishes pro-Palestinian protesters who occupied building | ReutersNewsmax has paid $40 million to settle a defamation lawsuit filed by Smartmatic over false claims that the company helped rig the 2020 U.S. election for Joe Biden. The settlement was reached privately last year, but the amount was disclosed in a recent investor filing. Smartmatic sued Newsmax in 2021, alleging the network knowingly spread misinformation, falsely stating that its machines were hacked and that it was backed by corrupt regimes. Newsmax defended its reporting as protected by the First Amendment but later clarified its coverage and invited Smartmatic to respond on air, an offer Smartmatic declined.Smartmatic had initially sought between $400 million and $600 million in damages. Meanwhile, the company continues its $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, following a historic $787.5 million settlement Fox paid to Dominion Voting Systems. The Newsmax case underscores the financial and legal consequences media outlets face for amplifying election misinformation, particularly when it leads to measurable reputational and financial harm.Newsmax paid $40 million to settle defamation suit over US 2020 election claims | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Hector BerliozOn this day in 1869, French composer Hector Berlioz passed away, leaving behind a legacy of bold orchestration, vivid storytelling, and groundbreaking compositions that pushed Romantic music to new heights. Born in 1803, Berlioz defied his family's wishes for him to become a doctor, instead immersing himself in the world of music, where his dramatic flair and innovative techniques set him apart. He was a master of programmatic music, crafting works that told intense, almost cinematic stories through sound.His most famous composition, Symphonie Fantastique, is a perfect example of this. Written in 1830, the symphony follows a tormented artist haunted by unrequited love, spiraling into madness and hallucination. The final movement, “Dreams of a Witches' Sabbath,” is a feverish nightmare of swirling strings, eerie bells, and grotesque dance rhythms, as the protagonist imagines his own funeral turned into a macabre celebration. The piece is filled with dark energy, blending horror and exhilaration in a way that was revolutionary for its time.Berlioz's influence stretched far beyond his own era, inspiring composers like Wagner, Mahler, and even film composers of the 20th century. Though he struggled for recognition during his lifetime, often facing resistance from conservative critics, his music eventually gained the admiration it deserved. His orchestral mastery and fearless storytelling continue to captivate listeners today.To close this week, we leave you with the chilling and electrifying "Dream of a Witches' Sabbath" from Symphonie Fantastique, a piece that perfectly embodies Berlioz's genius for the dramatic and the surreal.Without further ado, Hector Berlioz's “Dreams of a Witches Sabbath” from his Symphonie Fantastique.

Homeland Security officials said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement carried out more than 32,000 arrests in the first 50 days of Trump’s administration. Those numbers include the deportation of a 10-year-old U.S. citizen recovering from brain cancer after her undocumented parents were arrested last month.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Russia supports the proposed 30-day cease-fire plan put forth by the United States and Ukraine in theory, but believes further discussions are needed. President Donald Trump called it "a very positive statement" and signaled his readiness to speak with Putin.The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow restrictions on birthright citizenship to move forward. This comes as a judge orders the administration to reinstate thousands of probationary workers who were fired from six federal agencies.Amid rising tensions over tariffs, Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets with his G7 counterparts in Canada. In response to retaliatory tariffs, Trump states he is "not going to bend at all" and threatens a 200 percent tariff on European wine, champagne, and spirits if the EU proceeds with a planned 50 percent tariff on American whiskey.Nearly 100 protesters were arrested Thursday after storming the lobby of Trump Tower in Manhattan. They had gathered to denounce the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist who is currently facing deportation by the Department of Homeland Security.

The Trump administration has made no secret it intends to aggressively enforce immigration laws, made evident by the recent arrest of a Columbia University grad student and green card holder on Columbia's campus. Since the White House has repeatedly stated it intends to deport roughly all 12 million undocumented immigrants, this presents an immediate problem for healthcare providers who, in part, have legal and ethical obligations to all their patients. This is particularly true ironically for HHS-regulated Federal Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) who serve 32 million largely racial/ethnic minorities who, because they are largely poor and medically disenfranchised, are disproportionately in need of healthcare. One day after assuming office in January the acting Department of Homeland Security rescinded decades of prior policy that essentially stated the federal government would not take immigration enforcement action in “protected areas” that included healthcare facilities - and schools like Columbia University.

A policy that could have brought an end to America's suburbs has now been discarded. The zoning policy under the Obama administration, and later the Biden administration, created a type of equity program that localities had to follow. And the program has now been eliminated by Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner.In other news, the Department of Homeland Security has repurposed the CBP One app that could formerly be used to schedule illegal entry into the United States. It has been relaunched for self-deportation.

We decipher their meaning, and add inside knowledge and context. Being nerds, we also discuss the latest gadgets and pop culture news Subscribe To Our Podcast Nuno G. PedroWelcome to Tech DECIPHERED. In today's episode, Episode 62, we're going to discuss space and aeronautics, defense and online security. We are going to talk about key trends, why now is such a wonderful time to be looking at this space not only from a startup perspective but also from an investment landscape perspective. We'll also go into the whole evil versus no evil topic. Specifically, we will discuss why now, and the geopolitics of the industries, aerospace and aeronautics, defense and homeland security, and then we will conclude. Bertrand, why now? Bertrand SchmittWhy now? I think this industry, this sector, space, defense, homeland security has seen not just a lot of growth and quite a few very successful companies coming out, but it's an interesting complete turnaround, if you look at that from an entrepreneur or from a VC investor perspective. Why now? I think there has been, I would say, historically, there was a lot of scepticism, a lot of concerns by entrepreneurs, investors alike, centred around the military industrial complex. Bertrand SchmittWe probably all remember the famous Eisenhower's farewell address where he was sharing his distrust of that military industrial complex. And venture capital shunned these sectors also due to long sales cycle, in some cases only one client, the Department of defense for many startups, as well as ethical debates. Bertrand SchmittAt the same time, it's an evolving landscape. Startup came with disrupting legacy models. It's not just a cost-plus approach. It's a product approach. It's agile. It's innovation. The debate around, is it evil to is it something we must do in order to address global threats, basically coming to the forefront for investors and entrepreneurs alike. Nuno G. PedroIt's a supply and demand issue. It's not just that startups are not necessarily interested in it because it always creates this issue around, is it evil? Is it good? Are we doing something good or not? I think there's a lot of that. There's a lot of supply issue because of that angle. But it's also a demand issue. Contracts historically with military take a long time to be hashed out. They depend on doing trials and proofs of concept. Nuno G. PedroI think on the other hand, it's an industry that historically was very resilient and dominated by services. Particularly the US military want to own everything, and so, therefore, there was this notion that whoever was the provider provided it to provide it as a service for them. There are services that still need to be done today, but the industry has been largely productized, and there are a lot of products. I buy planes, I buy weaponry, I buy a bunch of different software systems that will allow me to operate, but they're productized. I think that's one of the big shifts that we've seen and why now is a good time to look at it. Nuno G. PedroIf I'm a startup, I don't need to go through 3, 4, 5-year cycles until I sell anything of scale. Then on the plus side, once I sell, it is at scale. There's a lot of money in the military.

Disturbing messages of Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia student detained, are discovered. Despite this, Congressional Democrats and David Hogg continue to defend him in a letter to the Department of Homeland Security.  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

Congress has until Friday to avoid a partial government shutdown, and lawmakers are working tirelessly ahead of the looming House vote. With the vote expected to be tight, Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) argues it's crucial to keep the momentum the Trump administration has set in place. Issa joins the Rundown to discuss the Continuing Resolution, DOGE, and preview the Ukraine talks expected Tuesday. Anti-Israel protests persist on college campuses, as Columbia University and its sister school Barnard face a new wave of student activists. The leader of the student demonstration, Mahmoud Khalil, was arrested by the Department of Homeland Security for leading activities aligned to Hamas, which is a designated terrorist organization. FOX News Contributor and Former Chief Assistant US Attorney Andy McCarthy joins the Rundown to discuss the legal aspects of Khalil's arrest, the legal fight that will follow, and what he believes needs to be done to ensure safety on college campuses. Later, retired NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro joins to explain how Columbia University emboldened college students to continue their anti-Israel protests.

(March 11,2025)LAPD cops caught on secret recording using racist and sexist comments, complaint alleges. The REAL cost of backyard eggs. DOJ says many Jan. 6 pardons extend to crimes after that date because of how they were collected. Columbia University student was the first to be arrested by Homeland Security for protests… Trump says it won't be the last.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Matthew Petti, an assistant editor at Reason magazine whose beat is national security issues, returns to the program to discuss his recent articles "Bipartisan war hawks go after Trump defense pick Elbridge Colby", "Is Trump borrowing Biden's ‘bear hug' approach to Israel?", and "Who is the Palestinian Columbia student detained for his protest activity?". We'll also discuss the situation in Syria, specifically the uprising and massacre of Alawite civilians in the past week. In regards to Syria, we'll dissect the information war shell game that's currently taking place and how various actors including Israel, Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the Arab Gulf States are all pushing certain narratives in relation to Syria's transitional government led by Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly Abu Mohammad al-Julani). In the first portion of our conversation, we look at the confirmation hearing of Elbridge Colby, who has been nominated by President Donald Trump to be his Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. Although Colby belongs to the world of defense intellectuals and is not a dove by any stretch, some of his views have a pro-restraint bent that have come under fire from both Republicans and Democrats. Republican Senator Tom Cotton, in particular, appears to take issue with Colby, specifically Colby's views on the Middle East (Colby wants to wind down U.S. involvement in the region), and is alleged by a number of Trump allies to have been behind a recent whisper campaign against Colby. We'll examine the realist camp of figures who have been given positions within the Trump administration thus far and JD Vance and Marco Rubio's allusions to realist foreign policy views since Trump's election. We'll also discuss how the other side of the coin when it comes to this embrace of realism by elements of the Trump administration and MAGA. Namely, the increasing talk of consolidating U.S. power in its geographic sphere of influence (ie: all the talk of making Canada the "51st State"). Petti will also go over Colby's hawkish views on China, specifically in relation to Taiwan, and how his views have changed over the years. In the latter portion of the conversation, we'll discuss Petti's notion that Trump's may well be employing the "bear hug" strategy with Israel that many claimed Biden was using during his administration in light of the Gaza War. Petti makes the case that Biden did not actually apply the bear hug strategy, but that Trump may actually be using it. On one hand, Trump is frequently proclaiming his pro-Israel credentials for domestic consumption (ie: the targeting of Gaza protesters as "pro-Hamas" sympathizer or illegal "agitators"; saying he completely wants to eradicate Hamas). On the other hand, the Trump administration just held secretive talks with Hamas that were brought ot the public by Axios journalist Barak Ravid. Ravid, who has many sources within the Israeli national security state, broke the news and it seems reasonably to say Israeli security sources wanted the story to come out even if Trump didn't want that to happen. What are the implications of this? We'll delve into that in-depth. Afterwards we will turn our attention to detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, a lead negotiator for pro-Palestinian protest camp at Columbia University. The detainment has garnered massive media attention with Khalil currently being held at an ICE detainment center. Turns out Khalil is not in the U.S. on a student visa. He has a green card. Although the Department of Homeland Security argues that Khalil's " activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization" he has not been charged with a crime and is a permanent legal resident of the U.S. The case is likely to raise a lot of debate about what constitutes support for a terrorist organization, specifically what constitutes material support and where the lines between 1st amendment rights and said support are drawn. All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views!

Edmundo Dasilva, a Transportation Security Officer for Homeland Security at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, was caught in a sting operation on the show "Takedown with Chris Hansen" in Polk County, Florida. Born in Venezuela and raised in Florida, Dasilva moved to Holly Springs, North Carolina after his marriage. During a vacation, presumably in Florida, he was entrapped in a hotel sting where he met an undercover cop posing as a minor's father. Dasilva acted suspiciously quiet, accepted a key to a hotel room, and upon entry, was arrested for soliciting a minor. Throughout the arrest, Dasilva displayed erratic behavior, sweating profusely and screaming claims of innocence and entrapment. Despite his protests and denials of any illicit intent, the situation escalated as he continued to scream, even as detectives threatened additional charges for disturbing the peace. The ordeal ended with his arrest and public confrontation with Chris and his camera crew outside the police station.

The conversation covers a range of political and social issues, including Trump's optimistic outlook on the economy, accountability within the Department of Homeland Security, the impact of paid protests on town halls, proposed legislation on credit card interest rates, the ongoing conflict in Gaza, cultural shifts among young adults, and Gavin Newsom's attempts to reshape his public image through a podcast. Each topic reveals underlying tensions and dynamics within American politics and society.    

On this special episode, Brian and Layan discuss the targeting of Palestinian organizer at Columbia University Mahmoud Khalil, who was illegally dragged from his campus housing by Department of Homeland Security officers and taken to an ICE detention facility as the Trump administration prepares to deport him. This is part of a nationwide effort to suppress the Palestinian solidarity movement on college campuses but the Trump administration's target will impact all sectors of society.Brian Becker is joined by Layan Sima Fuleihan, a Palestinian organizer with the Shut It Down for Palestine coalition, a popular educator, the Education Director at The People's Forum, and an editor at 1804 Books.
