According to data from the Department of Agriculture, China owns around 350,000 acres of farmland across 27 states as of last year. Lawmakers have argued that China's farmland and housing buys are a national security risk with many of the purchases near military installations. House Republicans are taking action and have introduced the "Protecting Our Farms and Homes from China Act", which aims to codify oversight on foreign countries buying American farmland. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois, member of the House Committee on Agriculture and a proud farmer herself, who agrees that China buying up U.S. farmland is an issue of national security.

The Good News That Media Doesn't Tell You Before diving into the political chaos, we start with hope: 3D-printed lung tissue that could cure COPD and asthma, revolutionary IVF techniques saving babies from mitochondrial diseases, and breakthrough infant heart transplant procedures expanding donor pools by 20%. Sometimes the best news is the news that reminds us human ingenuity is solving problems we thought impossible. Congressional Chaos & Crypto Drama The Senate passes Trump's $9 billion spending cuts in a nail-biter 51-48 vote, targeting foreign aid and public broadcasting. But the real drama? House Republicans initially blocked crypto bills during "Crypto Week" until Trump personally called holdouts to the Oval Office. We break down the GENIUS Act for stablecoin regulation, Bitcoin hitting $123K, and why regulating an industry you're profiting from might be problematic. The Musk vs. Trump Epstein Files Showdown Elon Musk has gone full chaos mode against Trump over Jeffrey Epstein files, even announcing an "America Party" to prioritize their release. We explore how this billionaire Twitter beef is creating genuine fractures in the MAGA movement and potentially costing Republicans seats in 2026. Immigration Crackdown Reality Check ICE now has access to 79 million Medicaid enrollees' personal data for deportation efforts. We examine the surge in arrests (47% without criminal charges), violent California cannabis farm raids, and the controversial "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center that Democrats and Republicans describe completely differently. International Military Escalation Trump's "Operation Midnight Hammer" strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, his complete flip on Russia policy with 100% tariff threats, and renewed violence in Syria. Plus, the ongoing Gaza humanitarian crisis and why a 20-year-old American was allegedly killed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Research on a Dime: What Is Socialism Actually? We break down the most misunderstood political term in America. Spoiler alert: Those "socialist" Nordic countries? Not actually socialist. Denmark's PM had to literally tell Americans to stop calling them that. We explore real socialism's pros and cons, why Americans already live with tons of "socialist" policies, and what NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's democratic socialism experiment might mean for American politics. Domestic Policy Pandemonium Trump freezes $6 billion in education grants, threatens to strip citizenship from political opponents (spoiler: he legally can't), and escalates tariffs on 100+ countries while inflation ticks upward. We also cover the Texas flooding tragedy, church shooting in Kentucky, and why your medical debt might stay on your credit report after all. The Numbers That Matter Bitcoin: $123,165 all-time high ICE arrests: 930 daily (triple the original target) Immigration detention: 60,000 people (20,000 over Congressional funding) Texas flooding: 80+ dead, 41 still missing Gaza casualties: 57,000+ Palestinians killed since October 7, 2023 Purple Political Breakdown cuts through partisan noise to deliver nuanced analysis of the week's biggest political stories.

The season 15 finale – an interesting development regarding “Tom's Thoughtful Suggestions” segment in the last episode; House Republicans vote unanimously to not release the Epstein Files that Trump now says are a hoax; Trump turns on his base; why is there bruising on Trump's hand; Trump can't believe Fed Chair Jerome Powell was appointed even though he's the one who appointed him; Hammond, Indiana's Festival of the Lakes starts with a bang and continues through this weekend.

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I break down the key gun policy provisions included in House Republicans' new Department of Justice funding bill. We also unpack a new Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruling tossing the NRA's free speech case against a New York official that pressured financial companies to cut ties with the group over its politics.

U.S. President Donald Trump promised to make America the cryptocurrency capital of the world and he's been working to make good on that. This week, in what House Republicans dubbed “Crypto Week”, he pushed Congress to pass three major pieces of legislation championed by the industry.Trump hasn't always been a fan of crypto but after his sons caught on and tens of millions from the crypto industry poured into his re-election campaign, he's gone all in. Now, he's got multiple ventures but none as big as World Liberty Financial, the start-up that's earned his family an estimated $500 million so far. But who is he striking these deals with? And why are some Democrats calling it all a “vehicle for corruption”? To untangle this complex web of policymaking, moneymaking and influence, we're joined by Jacob Silverman, the co-author of “Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud” and the host of The Naked Emperor, CBC Understood's four part podcast series about the rise and fall of FTX CEO Sam Bankman Fried.

President Donald Trump spent Wednesday refuting reports he plans to imminently fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The president has been complaining about him for months, accusing Powell of unnecessarily keeping interest rates high. But Trump's frustrations seemed to reach a new peak this week amid reports he had a letter drafted to oust the man he appointed to the job back in 2017, then asked a group of House Republicans whether he should do it. Firing Powell would undermine the Federal Reserve's independence. It's also potentially illegal. Bloomberg Senior Editor and friend of the pod Stacey Vanek Smith stops by to talk about interest rates, inflation risks, and Trump's very focused campaign of loathing against Powell.And in headlines: Vice President J.D. Vance hit the road to put some proverbial lipstick on Trump's pig of a new tax and spending law, the Trump administration deported five migrants to the small African nation of Eswatini, and the senior vice president of PBS Kids says the network will have to scale back new programing if Congress lets Trump claw back funding.Show Notes:Check out Stacey's work – x.com/svaneksmith?lang=enCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they assess a strong outlook for House Republicans in the 2026 midterms, Gov. Gavin Newsom's scheme to gerrymander California's congressional map, and Hunter Biden's ridiculous excuse about why Democrats suffered major losses in 2024.First, they are pleasantly stunned to see that House Republicans are predicted to pick up seats in next year's midterm elections. While there is a long way to go before the 2026 elections, the GOP is in a much better position that the last two times it faced midterms with a president of their own party. The Democrats are also contributing to this trend thanks to their staggering levels of unpopularity.Next, they react to Gov. Newsom once again worrying about national politics and his own political future instead of the many problems in his state. Newsom is now planning to gerrymander the state's congressional map - especially if Texas Republicans do the same. He doesn't seem bothered by the fact such a move would violate the California constitution.Finally, they roll their eyes as former DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison launches a new podcast and has Hunter Biden as one of his first guests.

New data on inflation underscores the cost of Trump's tariffs to consumers. Then, Attorney General Pam Bondi dismisses questions about the ‘Epstein files' as Trump suggests she release what ‘she thinks is credible'.

Today's Headlines:  June's inflation rose by 0.3%, putting the annual rate at 2.7%—slightly up, but still within forecasts. Meanwhile, House Republicans voted down Democratic efforts to release Epstein case documents, despite GOP leaders publicly claiming to support transparency. Trump praised AG Pam Bondi's handling of the Epstein files while denying any link to the case, but new metadata shows nearly 3 minutes are missing from recently released prison footage. A lawyer for Epstein's victims claimed there's far more unreleased evidence, including thousands of hours of video. ICE has issued a new memo eliminating bond hearings for undocumented immigrants already living in the U.S., affecting millions. A federal grand jury indicted Vance Boelter for the politically motivated killing of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman. Two people died after record-setting flash floods hit NYC and New Jersey, where over two inches of rain fell in one hour. The DOJ appealed a ruling halting race-based immigration arrests in California, and Missouri's Republican AG is threatening OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Microsoft with legal action after a blog claimed an AI ranked Trump worst on antisemitism—despite Microsoft's bot refusing to rank the presidents at all.

On Tuesday, we learned that inflation rose last month. The New York Times said inflation “accelerated,” ABC News noted it “surged,” and other reports observed that President Trump's tariffs are starting to produce long-predicted price hikes. Trump reacted angrily. He pretended the surge was nonexistent, and then deflected by unleashing a furious tweet at Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell that demanded: “Bring down the Fed rate NOW!!!” Trump then unleashed an angry rant to reporters further excoriating Powell. Trump might have also been ticked because his 2024 campaign polling firm just released a memo harshly warning that House Republicans are in trouble in the midterms, and Trump's cuts to the safety net help explain why. We talked to economist Kathryn Edwards, a skillful decoder of Trumponomics. She explains the inflation news, why Trump's perfect storm of policies are hurting working people, and how Democrats should respond by swinging big on the economy in ways they usually don't.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

John discusses Trump telling Texas Republicans to redraw their state congressional districts and make it so 5 Democratic seats vanish into a gerrymandered abyss. He also talks about House Republicans continuing to block efforts by democrats to force the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Then, he speaks with Professor Corey Brettschneider and they analyze the Trump administration's latest alarming moves, including mass firings at critical federal agencies like Education and State, and Trump's controversial threats to remove the Federal Reserve Chair. And finally, he interviews Cristina Jiménez. She's an award-winning community organizer and a leading voice in movements for social justice. She is Co-Founder and former Executive Director of United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led organization in the country. She came to the U.S from Ecuador in 1998 and grew up undocumented in Queens, N.Y. Cristina is a veteran organizer who helped lead the fight for DACA and resist family separation. Her new book, Dreaming of Home, was called “part memoir, part guide for community organizing” by The Washington Post.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Over one week has passed since President Trump signed the "big, beautiful bill" into law, and he is now urging Republican Senators to support a package that would codify his proposed cuts via the Department of Government Efficiency. Meanwhile, House Republicans have already approved the package. This week, the House will take up several measures seeking to make the U.S. the leader in financial technology, cryptocurrency, and digital assets innovation. House Majority Whip Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-6) joins the Rundown to discuss the passage of the President's "big" bill and the upcoming "crypto week."  On July 13, 2024, an attempted assassination of President Trump took place at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One year later, the country continues to wrestle with the question: how could such a breach have occurred? Veteran journalist Salena Zito witnessed the event firsthand, which she recounts in her new book, Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland. She joins the podcast to examine how the Butler incident marked a turning point for America, igniting an "awakening" in Middle America and a pushback against the political status quo.
