On Friday's show: President Donald Trump has frozen the processing of immigration requests for all Afghans pending a review of security and vetting procedures. Now, many Afghan immigrants, including many in Houston who came to the United States through the appropriate legal channels, are growing increasingly worried about their status.And we learn about a cold front arriving late Saturday that could bring Houston's first freeze of the season early Monday morning.Also this hour: From a State Department policy change involving fonts, to the debut of the world's longest commercial flight route, to In-N-Out Burger doing away with 2025's most annoying outburst, our non-experts consider The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.And we meet Angolan-born, Houston-based singer Vivalda Ndula, who blends traditional rhythms with Afro-contemporary sounds. But her music does more than entertain. It also confronts inequality, celebrates resilience, and uplifts unheard voices.Watch

In this episode, I'm speaking with Aashrit Parvangada, a historical nerd based in Berlin, and one of the best folks to chat with about geopolitics, nationalism, and immigration.I must say this was a sobering conversation, but also an enlightening one for me. Aashrit is not one to hold back on what he thinks about the world and how geopolitics and history shape most of what we've seen in recent times.And for someone who's lived in Dubai, India, Canada, the United States, Germany, and speaks English, Hindi, Japanese, and German, he has the lived experience to back up his takes.Aashrit and I talk about:Why he thinks the West has always struggled with multiculturalism and diversityWhy he believes the current anti-Indian hate is actually a lesson for IndiansThe “great divergence” that made the West wealthy, and the “great convergence” happening nowWhy the question of a multicultural future belongs to the West, not immigrantsWhat he finds exciting about the world's trajectory

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Gov Josh Shapiro associates radical Muslim elements, including imams in Philadelphia, and providing $5 million to their academy, while hypocritically downplaying his Jewish heritage to non-Jews and emphasizing it to Jews, which is diabolical politics.  Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born intellectual, wrote an eye-opening article on Somali culture, which Shapiro ignores while funding radical Islamists. Immigrants must be vetted for assimilation potential. Governors Josh Shapiro and Spencer Cox are enabling cultural erosion through political correctness. The Islamist belief system is incompatible with Americanism. Afterward, it's important to educate the young people about America's history. They are brainwashed by misinformation and by an agenda they don't understand themselves, only because they were taught to do it. We need to educate our future generations, teaching them about people the unknown people who founded our country, such as Roger Sherman, Gunning Bedford Jr and Daniel of St Thomas Jenifer. Later, Rep Jim Jordan calls in to discuss his full support for the Antisemitism Awareness Act. There's a small but potentially growing anti-Israel stance among conservatives and it's worrisome. He also announces that Special Counsel Jack Smith will testify in a closed-door deposition under oath next Wednesday. Finally, North Carolina Senate candidate Michael Whatley calls in to discuss his race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A recent report from the Minnesota Chamber Foundation found the state's economy is slipping in national rankings. The state ranks near the bottom in terms of workforce growth and net migration — which means more people are leaving the state than moving here. Much of the growth that is happening in the state's labor force is made up of foreign-born workers. They've driven 60 percent of workforce growth in recent years, according to the Chamber Foundation. These numbers point to a different conclusion from the one President Donald Trump made recently in a dehumanizing tirade about Somali Minnesotans, when he said they “contribute nothing.” Concordia University Economics Professor Bruce Corrie has done a lot of thinking and writing about the contributions of immigrants to the state's economy, including as a response to the President's comments. He joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about his analysis.

Recently Trump declares that Immigrants from Black and Brown countries are not welcomed only those white people from Europe such as Norway. Yet European leaders are saying that Trump has not been an ally of Europe siding with dictators like Putin from Russia and disrupting the relationship between the European Union and USA.Renaldo discusses this as he shares some poignant points from his book Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance which was part of a thesis at the University of Pennsylvania which he completed in 2013 and pusblished the book in 2021. Part 2 is about to be released under the title Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-capitalism and the Death of Nations.The books are available worldwide in all formats and book 2 will be available later this year. Get you copy at https://store.theneoliberal.com or via any major bookstores. The book is also available via the ebook and the Audible.Renaldo is a Professor at the Jamaica Theological Seminary and a working on his PHD which he will complete in 2026.Renaldo is the President of The Neoliberal Corporation, https://theneoliberal.com.Support us at #renaldomckenzie or via PayPal at https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=USSJLFU2HRVAQSubscribe for free on any stream.

Two Utah immigrants... challenging the federal government... after they were detained by ICE. We have team coverage...  First... a man accusing the Department of Homeland Security of libel... after someone posted an X post about him.... shortly after he was detained. KSL NewsRadio's Adam Small has details.

Two writers from the New York Times say the liberal values that have flooded our culture with online gambling, pornography, and cannabis have backfired, but secular progressives, like Ezra Klein, admit that they don't have a framework for explaining why. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the benefits and limitations of liberalism as a political and social philosophy, and why those on the left are increasingly aware of their need for religion. Matthew Soerens from World Relief is back to discuss why the Trump administration's immigration policies are so different in his second term, how the President's ever-changing rhetoric is causing chaos, and why America is accepting the collective punishment of immigrants. Also this week, raccoons are on a mission to be the pets of the future.

Last week, President Trump attacked Somali immigrants in the nation during a Cabinet meeting, calling them “garbage” and saying that he didn’t want them in the U.S. Meanwhile, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is ramping up its activity in the Minneapolis metro area in Minnesota. That state is home to nearly 80,000 people of Somali descent, the largest such population in the nation.  In Oregon, there are roughly 12 to 15,000 people of Somali descent, most of whom live in Multnomah County, according to a 2016 county report. Musse Olol emigrated from Somalia to Oregon in 1981 and is the executive director of the Somali American Council of Oregon, which he co-founded in 2011. He says fear has gripped Somalis living in the Portland metro area, even among naturalized U.S. citizens such as himself. He joins us to share his perspective and the heightened tension within the local Somali community.

Don and Tommy unpack why these statements are so dangerous and what they signal about the escalating rhetoric coming from Trump and his allies. Learn more about your ad choices.

Last week, I made a YouTube video defending Somali immigrants in my city — and I didn't expect the flood of hate from people who call themselves Christians. Today, I'm responding to one of the tamer comments I received — not because it was innocent, but because it shows just how deep the rot goes in MAGA Christianity. If you've ever been attacked by so-called believers for standing up for immigrants, refugees, or marginalized people — this is for you.

Luis Lamas left Oregon out of fear.    “I don't want to find out if they're going to put me in a detention center or if I'm going to live so many more years [here] and be told, you know what, no, you have to go back to your country,” he said in Spanish.    Lamas is among a growing number of people choosing to leave the U.S. out of fear of arrest or detention, as the Trump administration has promised to arrest or deport anyone without lawful status. Immigrants with lawful status have also been detained.   In this week’s episode of The Evergreen, OPB reporter Alejandro Figueroa chronicles the journey of Luis Lamas, a Mexican immigrant who once called Woodburn home.   For more Evergreen episodes and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

“What was said, when was it said, and who was observing the operation as it was ongoing?” These questions are top of mind this week for Todd Huntley, Director of Georgetown's National Security Law Program and a former active-duty Judge Advocate for the Navy. He joins Mary and Andrew to lend his unique expertise to what the Washington Post reported as a “kill them all” order from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This order reportedly led to a second strike, killing two remaining survivors and, in Huntley's view, violating the laws of naval warfare and international law, which “give a protected status to shipwrecked personnel.” Mary and Andrew then take a moment to reflect on the tragic shooting of two National Guard members last week and an appellate court ruling affirming a lower court finding that Alina Habba's appointment as acting US Attorney in New Jersey was unlawful.Further reading: Todd Huntley's interview in The New Yorker: The Legal Consequences of Pete Hegseth's “Kill Them All” Order.
