SubscribeBuy me a coffeeBen Shapiro just dismissed Israel's 1967 attack on the USS Liberty – where 34 American sailors were killed and 171 wounded – as basically “irrelevant” and “a mistake.” In this episode, we walk through the evidence he doesn't show you.A US Navy intelligence ship. Multiple Israeli overflights that identified it as an American vessel. A giant US flag in clear weather. Life rafts shot in the water. Distress frequencies jammed in violation of international law. Then decades of political cover‑up from Washington.In this breakdown, we:– Play the full AmFest exchange where a student confronts Shapiro on the USS Liberty– Compare Shapiro's “mistaken identity” claim to survivor testimony and Navy records– Look at why the attack and the cover‑up still matter for US–Israel policy today

Sandra and Rusty get in to a great Monday Night Football Game, where the seemingly ageless Phillip Rivers took on Mr. Irrelevant.
Chief Washington correspondent for Puck News, Leigh Ann Caldwell joins the Chuck ToddCast to unpack how Washington looks different when covered from outside the constraints of legacy media—and why independent journalism may be better suited to capture the dysfunction of Trump’s second term. Caldwell reflects on the groupthink and reaction-driven coverage that defined Trump’s first presidency, the erosion of Congress’s authority in Trump 2.0, and the deep personal animus now defining relationships on Capitol Hill. Together, she and Chuck examine how social media has shaped a younger generation of staffers, why Speaker Mike Johnson may be remembered as one of the weakest in history, and how Congress has willingly made itself irrelevant in the face of executive power. The conversation also digs into healthcare politics, looming shutdown risks, and why Republicans remain unable to act without Trump’s approval—even as he digs in against ACA subsidies out of lingering grievance toward Obama. Caldwell and Todd explore the brewing chaos inside the GOP, from mass retirements and redistricting fights to the staggering cost of House races and the nonstop fundraising grind. The episode closes with a candid assessment of party leadership heading into 2026, why a third Trump impeachment would be a mistake, and why covering Congress—rather than the White House—may now offer the clearest window into where American politics is headed.

Chuck Todd examines the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files, the uneven political fallout, and why some stories break through while others—often more consequential—don’t. The discussion then turns to public health, RFK Jr.’s corrosive influence on vaccine trust, and how misinformation is putting kids at risk just as measles cases surge. Todd closes by unpacking the growing civil war within MAGA world, where influencers—not elected officials—are driving the GOP agenda, competing for clicks with ever more extreme claims, and exposing deep cracks in Trump’s coalition.

The Packers head into a pivotal Week 16 matchup against Chicago with an injury report that reads like a horror novel. Josh Jacobs, Evan Williams, and Zach Tom haven't practiced all week, while Jaden Reed missed Wednesday for a personal matter that has everyone holding their breath. The good news? Christian Watson and Devonte Wicks upgraded to limited participation, and Jordan Love is full go. On the Bears side, the situation is equally brutal. Rome Odunze and Luther Burden haven't practiced, DeAndre Swift was added with a groin injury, and Tremaine Edmunds is racing the clock to return from IR. This game may come down to whoever has more bodies standing Saturday. The episode dives deep into Alex Kemp's officiating crew, which ranks second in offensive holding calls and has favorites going an absurd 27-3 straight up since 2024. Special teams penalties are also a concern with this crew ranking fourth in that category. The highlight of the show is an extended breakdown of the Chicago Bears' stadium catastrophe. After years of failed negotiations, Governor Pritzker told the Bears their project won't be a priority in 2026. Chicago doesn't want them. Arlington Heights is bleeding them dry on taxes. Now they're eyeing Northwest Indiana, where a newly created sports commission is rolling out the red carpet. The contrast is staggering: Illinois demands $500 million in old debts while Indiana offers $500 million in building funds. Welcome to Gary, Caleb Williams.

Dee Dee Bass Wilbon and Deana Bass Williams and BPALiveWire Contributor, Dorian Blaine Francis talk about the role of The Church in setting policy. Is the Body of Christ being divided on issues that we should be unified around. Abortion, Transgender Issues, Taxes, Care for the Poor - should there be a unified response to these things?Romans 10:9 - If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be savedHebrews 10: 24-25 - And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Are the Ten Commandments, God's Law which He Gave to Us, Becoming Irrelevant for America? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Today, are we saying that the Ten Commandments are irrelevant for America? Are the Ten Commandments becoming illegal in America? If so, why? As a nation, we no longer teach or practice the Ten Commandments. We have made it illegal to post the Ten Commandments, which are God's Law to us, on most walls of our courts and government schools. From a spiritual perspective, how can God, the Creator of the Universe, bless a nation which mocks and/or ignores Him? Paul, in Galatians 6:6-7, cautions both us and our governments regarding the mocking of God: “Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.”. From a practical perspective, how can a society and a government function when their foundation has been removed? Our form of government was founded on the ethical base of the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments were in the thoughts and cultural norms of the people that created our country. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Resentment. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Compassion. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

What if working less actually meant earning more? In this high-voltage episode, Kimberley sits down with entrepreneur and former Google Ads mogul Kasim Aslam, who went from hustling in Albuquerque to building (and selling) an eight-figure business. Kasim shares how designers can finally stop trading hours for dollars by building systems, teams, and leverage that work—without them. He's blunt, funny, and full of game-changing truths about why most creative professionals trap themselves in “jobs” instead of building real companies. You'll learn how to attract top talent, let go of control, and make peace with the inevitable risk of growth. This conversation will challenge everything you believe about work, success, and what it takes to scale.

There is a new trend for GOP officials like JD Vance to blame the failures on the GOP of the past while artfully ignoring that they have the power to change things right now. In fact, Trump and his circle have been in power for five consecutive election cycles and own all of the down-ballot endorsements and policies. They keep dredging up Mike Pence, George Bush, and David French as bogeymen, but when you look carefully, they are ensuring that the same policies continue under our banner without receiving the blame. Through this thesis, I take you through the latest news on data centers, immigration, foreign policy, and the courts to show how the very people who fail us get to live another day by deflecting the blame onto those out of power.

“Millions are like me when it comes to religion: well-educated and successful people for whom religion has been irrelevant. We grew up in secular households or drifted away from the faiths in which we were raised and never looked back. For them, I think I have a story worth telling.” The search for deeper meaning isn't just for those who are struggling—it's a powerful drive for the most successful among us. Drawing from the story of social scientist Charles Murray, we unpack why curiosity, purpose, and spiritual questioning are essential, even when life seems secure. We discuss everything from near-death experiences to a purpose-driven living and show how true growth starts when you seek beyond what's comfortable. Stay curious, keep seeking, and let that drive lead you to real fulfillment. Highlights: (03:58) Is religion only for the weak, the poor and the dumb? (08:13) Why something rather than nothing? (10:49) Compare the downsides of being wrong about religion to the upsides of being right about it (14:57) Near-death experiences: consciousness beyond the body (18:34) So what is consciousness? (27:03) Atheism is a societal experiment (30:37) Generation Z now seeks spiritual purpose (33:43) Be a true seeker, not a groupie who just goes along (36:22) Gold diggers in California (40:36) The journey is an eternal journey, and it will only make your life happier Recorded on November 11, 2025. https://linktr.ee/breakingtrail

Political scientist Charles Murray has written many well-known books over the course of his lifetime.Many of his works—including “Losing Ground,” “The Bell Curve,” and “Coming Apart”—have deeply influenced the intellectual discourse and zeitgeist of our times and provoked heated debate about the roots of major social problems in America.His latest book covers a topic that he has never covered deeply before: religion.Murray writes in the foreword of his book “Taking Religion Seriously,” “Millions are like me when it comes to religion: well-educated and successful people for whom religion has been irrelevant. We grew up in secular households or drifted away from the faiths in which we were raised and never looked back. For them, I think I have a story worth telling.”In our conversation, he recounts how he slowly came to question his assumption that there was nothing in religion for him.He began to grapple with questions such as: How did life come to be? Why is there something rather than nothing? What happens to purely secular societies? What happens to art that no longer acknowledges beauty, truth, and the good?He said: “I finished the book by comparing myself to a kid whose nose is pressed against the glass watching a party that's going on inside that he can't join. I have had the good fortune to meet a number of people who have had a very full, rich spiritual experience. ... I look at the kind of people they are, and I say to myself: I want more of that.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
