It's pretty bad. Some would actually call this fascism.“The move comes as the Trump administration embraces venture capital and tech industries, including VC-backed startups like Anduril, Palantir and others who have begun to take root as major players in the defense industrial base. The Trump administration's nominee to take the reins as the Army's No. 2 two civilian, Michael Obadal, is an Anduril employee.” ~Dealbreaker.comJust another example of the mass privatization happening rapidly under the new administration with virtually no coverage in either the left or rightwing media.My beauty secret for skin, hair and nails is Native Path Collagen!

On this episode of the podcast, Congressman Randy Weber, women's sports advocate Paula Scanlan, and Dr. Peter McCullough all join podcast host Amanda Head for a conversation about how we can continue defending our republic despite living in a ‘woke-dominant' world. Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) outlines the growing threat of Iran and highlights the national security urgency of sealing the southern border. He contrasts Biden's failure with Trump's effective border and immigration policies, especially those that benefited the agricultural labor market.Meanwhile, Paula Scanlan breaks down a recent House Republican bill that blocks federal funding for gender transition procedures. The pair react to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision upholding Tennessee's ban on gender surgeries for minors and expose the hypocrisy of Democrats pushing radical trans policies despite a New York Times poll showing most Americans — including 67% of Democrats — oppose men in women's sports. Scanlan also slams the NCAA for abandoning female athletes and issues a call to action for more women to speak out.And finally, Dr. Peter McCullough joins to unpack the latest Omicron subvariant “NB 1.8.1”—nicknamed “Nimbus” and why nasal hygiene products like Immune Mist and Spry could be vital for prevention. He also praises General Mills and Heinz for moving away from toxic artificial dyes by 2027, warns about the dangers of gender transition treatments for children with autism, and renews his call to ban pharmaceutical ads to restore trust in the media. Dr. McCullough ends by endorsing Trump's idea of giving $1,000 stock market accounts to every newborn as a bold investment in America's future.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Speaker Matt Hall, Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives. Update on House Republicans' meetings with the Trump Administration, discuss the MI House's FY26 Education Budget, and outline upcoming legislative priorities.

On Monday, the Senate Finance Committee released their revisions to the "Big Beautiful Bill," pushing for deeper tax cuts and lowering the State and Local Tax (SALT) cap back to $10,000. These changes have sparked some friction between Senate and House Republicans, as President Trump warned that failure to pass his bill could lead to "the highest tax increase in history instead of the greatest tax cut in history." Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) joins the Rundown to defend raising the SALT cap to $40,000, and he explains the stakes for the U.S. in the Israel-Iran conflict. Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team members come from diverse backgrounds. Some start their careers in the military, while others are civilians who often find themselves in high-stakes situations. Tommy Wehrle, a SWAT officer, sniper, and former Baltimore County police officer, joins the Rundown to discuss his career and how he joined the SWAT ranks as an elite sniper. Plus, commentary by neurosurgeon and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Fresh off a White House visit, Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall joined us to break down how Trump's bold economic leadership—especially tariffs—has reignited American manufacturing. While GM is bringing $4 billion back to Michigan, Hall warned that bad state policy is still pushing some manufacturers to places like Indiana. He emphasized the urgency of the 2026 election to fully capitalize on this national resurgence, pointing to House Republicans' work on energy, tax, and education reform. With work requirements, Medicaid reforms, and cutting red tape, Hall says the foundation is being laid to turn Michigan around—if voters choose wisely.Get the stories from today's show in THE STACK: https://justinbarclay.comKirk Elliott PHD - FREE consultation on wealth conservation - http://GoldWithJustin.comJoin Justin in the MAHA revolution - http://HealthWithJustin.comTry Cue Streaming for just $2 / day and help support the good guys https://justinbarclay.com/cueUp to 80% OFF!

A Wisconsin farmer is suing the US Department of Agriculture over programs that provide incentives to women and people of color. Wisconsin's Capitol will have new security measures in place after two Minnesota lawmakers were shot in their homes. And, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin could lose half of its revenue if the budget bill passed by House Republicans gets through the Senate.

The U.S. Senate is considering a spending plan that would eliminate incentives for clean energy. And some Pennsylvania companies say those cuts would devastate their businesses and raise energy costs. Meantime, U.S. Senator Dave McCormick says the future is bright for power production in Pennsylvania. He shared his vision for the state’s energy industry during a visit Monday to western PA. Republican lawmakers in Pennsylvania are applauding two Trump administration proposals to rollback rules that cut power plant emissions. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says the goal is to, in his words, restore American energy dominance. Dozens of campuses in Pennsylvania plan to tap the Solar for Schools program to install solar panels using grant money. Some of the schools are counting on federal tax credits as well. But the budget House Republicans passed last month would make that harder. As the Trump administration ramps up efforts to deport undocumented immigrants, advocates in Pennsylvania are worried problems at the state's largest federal detention center will worsen. The Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association is releasing its latest analysis of the Susquehanna River. The nonprofit advocacy organization found high levels of E.coli bacteria at 20 public water access points. An executive order issued late last week clears the way for what's being termed as a "partnership" between Pittsburgh-based US Steel and Nippon Steel of Japan. And Pennsylvania's budget deadline is quickly approaching. Gov. Josh Shapiro and state lawmakers have until June 30th to agree on a new spending plan. Several questions remain about how to balance the Democratic Governor's spending priorities. Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

House Republicans are beginning to roll out their budget proposals for the next fiscal year, but why are some people around Lansing talking about government shutdowns theories? MIRS' Samantha Shriber and Editor Kyle Melinn talk about their questions amid Senate Democrats and House Republicans' big budget-making differences this summer (3:12).  Multiple labor unions are becoming interested in storing CO2 emissions deep underground in Michigan, saying such projects could create jobs. Robert Joerg of the Michigan Laborers District Council talks about why he's supporting state-run carbon capture permitting (16:43).  A small western U.P. town of around 300 people wants a $50 million grant from Lansing to secure future mining and other industry careers. MIRS meets up with Wakefield Township Supervisor Mandy Lake to talk about this quest over 10 years in the making (39:37).

The Big Beautiful Bill looked like it was gliding along. Sure, there were hiccups — Rand Paul grumbled about the debt ceiling, some MAGA accounts didn't fully endorse it — but even then, it felt like controlled turbulence. Paul was performing his role as the token dissenter, the libertarian who always squawks about spending but eventually votes yes with a few tweaks. And he was already telegraphing his price: drop the debt ceiling hike and he's in. Meanwhile, the House side wasn't exactly throwing punches. Everyone was eyeing the Senate. If anything, it seemed like things were lining up for a classic late-June deal — messy but inevitable.Punchbowl's Jake Sherman, who's as wired in as it gets, detailed the emerging gap between the House and Senate versions of the bill. The Senate Finance Committee wants permanent tax breaks that sunset in the House version. They're also pushing to modify or eliminate key Trump-era items — like the no-tax-on-overtime policy and new savings accounts for kids. There's still no consensus on SALT either. Senate Republicans want to water down the $40,000 deduction cap that Trump himself agreed to. That would make some moderate House Republicans happy, but it could risk blowing up the agreement altogether. This is the stuff that actually matters — the policy guts that will be run past the parliamentarian and hashed out in closed-door meetings. But then, out of nowhere… Elon.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.MAGA Has a Specific TypeTwo days ago, Elon Musk posted that the big beautiful bill was a “disgusting abomination.” Then he followed it up by retweeting Rand Paul with the words “KILL the BILLL.” That's not a passing criticism. That's scorched-earth stuff. And when it comes from a guy like Elon — who has positioned himself as a billionaire warrior for the MAGA cause — it's a challenge. So I did what I always do. I doomscrolled. Not for fun, but for you. To see who flinches. And here's what I found: almost nobody followed his lead.Charlie Kirk, who had been fairly quiet on the bill, suddenly dropped a thread outlining “50 wins” from it — MAGA-branded talking points that sounded like they came from Speaker Johnson's office. He didn't mention Elon. He didn't need to. The timing was the tell. He was staking a claim: this bill is ours. It's Trump's. And we're backing it. Then came Catturd. If you don't know about @Catturd2, well, that's why you listen to this show. The dude's a Twitter account run by a Florida musician, but in the MAGA ecosystem, his voice carries weight. When he turns, people follow. And he wasn't with Elon either.Mike Cernovich — someone who's ridden hard for Elon, slammed his enemies, carried water for his beefs — also pivoted. He made it clear that Trump's agenda is what gets MAGA fired up, not fiscal purity. His message was simple: you might like Elon, but Trump's the main character here. And look, none of these guys are policy wonks. But they are barometers. They're not jumping to Elon's defense. They're lining up behind the machine.Last One In, First One OutElon is learning in real time what it means to be new money in a political world that runs on tenure and loyalty. MAGA isn't a traditional political coalition. It's more like a federation of tribes — influencers, donors, operators — loosely tied together by a shared orbit around Trump. And in that world, being flashy doesn't count for much if you weren't in the trenches in 2016 or 2020. Elon came on board when it was already a moving train. Buying Twitter, firing woke staff, bringing Trump back to the platform — all of that scored him points. But that's not the same as being family.That's why I keep coming back to the same thought: last one in, first one out. Musk might be the richest guy in the world. He might own the place where MAGA influencers gather. But the moment he stepped out of line, they let him drift. Not a coordinated takedown. Just silence. And silence is brutal. He's not getting clowned like Bannon did when he got iced out. He's just floating — a slow, silent uncoupling from the people who used to cheer his every post.Now, Mike Johnson is supposed to speak to Elon about the bill today. Maybe that call smooths things over. Maybe Russ Vought or Stephen Miller reels him back in. Maybe he gets a seat at the table, tweaks the AI language, and declares victory. But right now, he's yelling about the CBO's deficit projections and getting politely ignored.

On Tuesday, former White House adviser Elon Musk escalated his criticisms of the budget reconciliation “big beautiful bill” passed by House Republicans, calling it “a disgusting abomination.” Though he did not mention President Donald Trump by name, Musk's comments underscore a growing divide between the tech CEO and the president, who aggressively lobbied for the bill and remains supportive of it. Musk delivered the criticism as he departed his official role as a “special government employee” leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).Ad-free podcasts are here!Many listeners have been asking for an ad-free version of this podcast that they could subscribe to — and we finally launched it.

Before heading into the Memorial Day recess, House Republicans met their self-imposed deadline by narrowly passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Now, the reconciliation package moves to the Senate, where it faces criticism from both fiscal conservatives and moderates. Our tax team breaks down the 10 most likely changes that could emerge as the Senate takes up the bill—changes that would only need GOP votes to pass.

The White House and the Government Accountability Office are at odds over the Trump administration's decision to pause funding for the national electric vehicle charging program, which puts $5 billion from the bipartisan infrastructure law toward building EV chargers across the country. POLITICO's Matt Daily breaks down the fight and how the pause is impacting states that were receiving funds from the program. Plus, the Congressional Budget Office forecasted the tax and spending package House Republicans passed last month would expand the federal deficit by $2.4 trillion dollars over a decade.

Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson was speaking to constituents at a pair of town halls touting her support for President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill while members of the audience began booing in an attempt to drown her comments out. The raucous town halls happen as House Republicans push for spending cancellations and others are demanding deeper budget cuts to a proposed spending bill. President Trump has requested lawmakers rescind $9.4 billion in spending already allocated that include foreign aid and funding to public broadcasting. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (R-IA), representing Iowa's 2nd district, who says she will continue to speak at town halls and push President Trump's agenda that she very much believes in.

Despite facing obstacles, House Republicans were able to meet their Memorial Day deadline to pass President Trump's "one big, beautiful bill." Now it's off to the Senate, where Republicans concerned about its impact on the deficit could make modifications that would send it back to the House. Additionally, the White House is preparing to send a rescissions package to Congress — an initiative designed to codify certain spending cuts identified by DOGE. FOX News Digital Politics Reporter Elizabeth Elkind breaks down what all of this means and what's to come. Then, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) discusses his criticisms of the 'one big, beautiful bill' and his plans to investigate the last administration's attempt to cover up the declining mental fitness of former President Biden.

Leslie is joined by Lily Roberts, Managing Director for Inclusive Growth at the Center for American Progress. The two first react to Senator Joni Ernst, after an audience member yells, “People will die,” during her discussion on Medicaid cuts at a town hall this morning, replying, “Well, we all are going to die.” Leslie and Lily then discuss the disastrous approach to food stamps (SNAP) in the House Republican passed 'Big Beautiful Bill.' The House-passed version: A. Would cut off some or all food assistance for 11 million people (4 million of those are kids) due to subjecting new groups of people (parents of young kids, older people, people who live in parts of the country where jobs are scarce) to additional paperwork requirements. B. Eliminates the national guarantee that whether you live in New York or Mississippi, you won't go hungry. This has been the bottom line of food support and anti-poverty in the US for 60 years. Now, states will be required to foot part of the bill for SNAP, which many of them can't afford. C. Guts SNAP as one of our best anti-recession tools – it keeps recessions from becoming depressions. SNAP immediately gets small dollars to the people who need money most, and it's spent nearly instantly in local communities. Funding changes and cuts will doubly punish states during recessions. That's important now, as we deal with economic uncertainty and a food safety net (food pantries, free school lunch, farmer grant programs) that have already been gutted by DOGE so can't step in to help.  The website for the Center for American Progress is www.AmericanProgress.org and their handle on BlueSky is @americanprogress.bsky.social‬.

This week, Scott sat down with the AI-oriented Lawfare Senior Editors Alan Rozenshtein and Kevin Frazier to talk through the week's top AI-focused news stories, including:“Oh Sure, Now He's Into Free Trade.” President Trump has repealed the Biden administration's rule setting strict limits on the diffusion of high-end AI technology, opening the door to the global transfer of the technologies powering U.S. AI development, including advanced chipsets. And we're already seeing results of that policy in a recent deal the president signed with the UAE that would work toward the transfer of advanced semiconductors. How should AI diffusion fit into the broader global strategy surrounding the AI industry in the United States? And what approach does the Trump administration seem inclined to take?“Paving Over the Playing Field.” House Republicans recently included a provision in a House bill that would have preempted state efforts to legislate on and regulate the AI industry for a decade. Is this sort of federal preemption a prudent step given the broader competitive dynamics with China? Or does it go too far in insulating AI companies and users from accountability for their actions, particularly where they put the public interest and safety at risk?“Speechless.” A federal district court in Florida has issued a notable opinion of first impression in a tragic case involving a teenager who committed suicide, allegedly as a result of encouragement from an AI bot powered by the company character.ai. Among other holdings, the judge concluded that the AI's output was not itself protected speech. Is this holding correct? And what impact will it have on the development of the AI industry?In Object Lessons, the AI Guys went surprisingly analog. Alan recommended some good, ol' fashioned, 19th-century imperial espionage with “The Great Game,” by Peter Hopkirk. Kevin, meanwhile, is keeping an eye on a different kind of game: the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship, in which he's throwing up some Hook 'em Horns for Texas. And Scott is trying to “Economize” his time with The Economist's Espresso app, a quick, curated read that fits neatly into a busy morning.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

The tax and spending bill passed by House Republicans last week is the sort of bill that does so many different things that even budget experts could be forgiven for not realizing just how many different parts of the economy it will change. In the realm of workers' comp, the bill would eliminate taxes on overtime pay and tips. In terms of families, it would create new $1,000 savings accounts for children and give parents an extra $500 per year per child, in the form of an expanded child tax credit. In the realm of health and the culture wars, it would ban the use of Medicaid funds for gender-affirming care and cut funding for Planned Parenthood. In the realm of climate, it would claw back half a trillion dollars of investments in wind, solar, geothermal, batteries, nuclear power, clean hydrogen, and electric vehicle purchases. In the realm of defense, it would increase spending by over $100 billion on shipbuilding, air and missile defense, immigration enforcement, and border security. But judging strictly by the sheer dollar amount of the provision, this bill is really about three big things. Number one, it extends a multitrillion-dollar tax cut on corporate and individual income. Number two, it reduces federal spending on two major government programs by a combined $1 trillion: Medicaid, the government health-care program for those with low income, and SNAP, or federal spending on food stamps. And number three, because of the mismatch I just told you about, between the tax cuts and the spending cuts, it will increase the national debt by several trillion dollars over the next 10 years. Today, we have two guests. First, the University of Chicago economist Eric Zwick joins to talk about the corporate tax cut. And second, to understand how to think about the debt picture, I talk to Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.

Last week, House Republicans passed the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" with a narrow vote of 215-214, following weeks of negotiations. The multi-trillion-dollar bill is now headed to the Senate. However, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is unhappy with the bill's hefty price tag and claims there is enough opposition to halt the process until more deficit reductions are included. Senator Johnson joins the Rundown to discuss his criticisms of the budget bill and his plans to investigate the Biden Administration's attempt to cover up the declining mental fitness of former President Joe Biden. According to recent reports, artificial intelligence showed signs of resistance when being told to shutdown. In one case a model even showed the willingness to blackmail engineers who wanted to replace it. Does this suggest AI could one day pose a threat to humans? Director of the Discovery Institute's Bradley Center and Professor at Baylor University, Dr. Robert J. Marks, joins the podcast to discuss his assessment of AI's ability to harm us, take our jobs, and manipulate human capabilities.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, President Biden's health cover-up goes to the heart of our republic. If a single person, family, or political party can act against Americans as they have, they will stop at nothing. Biden's family, staff, and the media knew about his dementia but hid it. The 25th Amendment should have been invoked by Kamala Harris and the Cabinet. AG Merrick Garland withheld the 2023 Robert Hur/Biden audio from Congress and the Cabinet because he didn't want the 25th Amendment triggered. He played a major role in this cover-up and efforts against Trump and should be held accountable. They were using the power of government to try to get Biden through another election, and at the same time, try to take out President Trump. This was a massive cover-up and scandal, the likes of which the nation has never experienced. Later, the Trump cabinet officials have uniformly done a terrific job during congressional budget hearings. They're not taking any crap from the Democrats and providing very solid responses. Afterward, some House Republicans are planning to block President Trump's economic growth and tax cut plan, which plays into the Democrat/Marxist playbook. If the bill fails, there will be a massive tax increase, the derailment of Trump's economic agenda, delayed benefits, and a potential Democrat victory in the mid-terms that could halt efforts to counter their radical policies. The bill needs to pass. Finally, the issue of the Biden autopen is very serious. We can't have nameless Biden administration staffers using it. Rep James Comer calls in to explain that he believes they've identified Biden's staffers who used his autopen and he wants to bring them in to answer questions. If he could prove Biden didn't have knowledge of signings, can the executive orders he used to ‘Trump proof' the federal government be voided? Learn more about your ad choices.

House Republicans are working to advance a massive bill that essentially wraps up all of President Trump's legislative goals. The conference is largely, but not entirely, unified, and just a few Republican defectors could derail the whole thing. So President Trump stopped by Capitol Hill to make his pitch to the skeptics.
