What's the number one threat to America today? According to national security expert Juliette Kayyem, it's not what you might expect. "Violence, or the threat of violence, as the accepted extension of our policy differences," she explains, pointing to a troubling shift in our political landscape where violence has become normalized and even state-authorized.As former Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security under President Obama, Harvard lecturer, and CNN's go-to disaster expert, Kayyem brings unparalleled insight to today's most pressing security challenges. She delivers a masterclass in understanding the complex interplay between democracy, security, and power in our rapidly changing world.Our conversation explores how billionaires like Elon Musk have accumulated unprecedented control over global communication systems, creating new kinds of national security vulnerabilities. "He controls information in a way that we've never seen before," Kayyem warns, highlighting how commercial interests now intersect with critical security functions traditionally managed by governments.Perhaps most compelling is Kayyem's candid assessment of where Democrats have failed, particularly on immigration policy. "Democrats tend to convince themselves that border security is a mythology of Fox News," she says, explaining how this blindspot has consistently undermined progressive messaging with voters. Her refreshing honesty cuts through partisan talking points to offer a clear-eyed view of what effective homeland security truly requires: managing the secure flow of people, goods, and ideas rather than simply building walls.Whether discussing the strategic failures of political messaging, the reality of cartels, or the path forward for rebuilding democratic norms, Kayyem's analysis is both sobering and surprisingly hopeful. Join us for this essential conversation about securing America's future in an increasingly complex threat landscape.Support the showThe Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter https://wwwJackHopkinsNow.com

(AURN News) - The White House is maintaining its efforts to pass federal legislation guaranteeing paid family and medical leave for American workers. Tom Perez, Director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, and Jennifer Klein, Director of the Gender Policy Council, convened a meeting with leaders from several states to discuss strategies for enacting a national paid leave program. The discussion focused on the successes already achieved at the state level and explored ways to build momentum for a federal policy. In a statement, the White House says it remains committed to helping families "take the time they need to bond with a new child; care for a seriously ill loved one; heal from their own serious illness; address circumstances arising from a loved one's military deployment; find safety from domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking; or grieve the death of a loved one." To reinforce this commitment, President Biden has incorporated funding for a national paid family and medical leave program in his proposed fiscal year 2025 budget. States participating in the White House meeting included New Jersey, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, and New Mexico. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In today's episode, I speak with RI representative and 1st Congressional Districtman Gabe Amo. The conversation marks a reflective time as it is his first 100 days. According to the Brookings Institute … [Franklin D] Roosevelt's rhetoric and mastery of the new medium of radio were not what made him the president who is remembered for the first 100 days. It was the breathtaking scope of bold and new actions, both legislative and regulatory, that set the bar so high. Ever since, presidents have been evaluated for their performance in the first 100 days Gabriel Felix Kofi Amo is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for Rhode Island's 1st congressional district. He grew up in Pawtucket RI, is a graduate of Wheaton College where he became both a Marshall Scholar, and a Truman scholar. Before running for Congress, Amo worked in the Biden administration as the deputy director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. He has also worked in the Obama administration, on several Democratic political campaigns, and in Rhode Island governor Gina Raimondo's administration.

THE THESIS: There are acts of heroics going off all over the world. We need to pray God's protection upon these people and also pray the Lord draws them to Himself.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Psalm 37 John 6:44 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. THE NEWS & COMMENT: Enemies in the information wars [AUDIO] -  This week the DOD took punitive action against a retired Army officer for replying to a Jill Biden tweet but is silent as an active duty service member uses her uniform to make a political statement because she is regurgitating approved regime talking points. Heroes like this in the information wars [AUDIO] -  One of the greatest tennis players in the world--maybe in history--still refuses to get injected and it's costing him.   . . . Novak Djokovic willing to miss tournaments over mRNA injections [AUDIO - Bleep] - UFC fighter wants to know why the Epstein / Maxwell client list is hidden from us. - Israel Adesanya 16-year-old hero jumps into river to save 3 teen girls as their car sinks. He also rescues cop who swam out to help girls but started to struggle. [AUDIO] -  During a press conference at a Brampton shipping company today, a Red FM reporter shared concerns with the DPM from truckers hurting over  high fuel prices. She responded that high fuel prices are a “reminder of why  climate action is so important” . . . Crystal Freeland was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. In this capacity, she led Canada's united response to the COVID-19 pandemic. She was appointed Minister of Finance in August 2020. Does that sounds familiar? Almost like it's EXACTLY THE SAME THING the Figureheads's spokes-liar said last week?  [AUDIO - Desktop, liberal new world order] -  US families should suffer high gas prices to protect 'the liberal world order', Biden's economic advisor Brian Deese says when asked what he would say to Americans who can't afford $4.85 a gallon Oh, speaking of oil and gas prices: This past April, the Biden admin sold 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to a Chinese gas company that a private equity firm co-founded by HUNTER BIDEN owns a $1.7 billion stake in. Full story, here: Biden Sold a Million Barrels From US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China-Owned Gas Giant; Biden's Energy Department said move would 'support American consumers' and combat 'Putin's price hike' . . . Are you sure it's not the Patriot Front? LOL.  [AUDIO] - Protesters are furious tonight. The radical Rutte government is hell bent on implementing WEF law that would permanently alter the global food supply and end farming in this country. SIGN THE PETITION to say NO:  [AUDIO] -  Dutch farmers shot at by “police” - says the commenter: “Really wild to watch as tractors get shot. Thank God for the internet or I'd think we're living in a peaceful world” Netherlands Police Open Fire at Farmers Protesting Globalist ‘Climate Change' Restrictions; Dutch ministers “warn that farmers will have to adapt or face the prospect of shuttering their businesses.” [AUDIO] - Supporters of the Freedom Convoy hold hands and sing “We Are the World” outside Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
