In a jam-packed two-hour episode, @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove deliver a fiery takedown of the deep state's schemes. Hour 1 spotlights Stephen Miller's interim National Security Advisor role, confirmed by Trump on Air Force One on May 4, 2025, as the loyalist who's “already doing the job” with a 94% drop in illegal crossings and 200,000 deportations. They slam the Flynn Network's weekend fiasco, pushing Michael Flynn for NSA despite Trump firing him after 23 days in 2017 for lying to the FBI, exposing their disloyalty to Trump's vision. Trump's Air Force One gaggle also touted his 140+ executive orders, while the show reveals how 150 Tren de Aragua gang arrests are being buried to fuel optics against Pam Bondi, who's battling “rogue judges” and DOJ smears. Hour 2 previews Trump's Big Beautiful Parade on June 14, 2025, a $15 million spectacle with 6,600 soldiers and 50 helicopters to celebrate his 79th birthday and America's strength. The CIA's dismantlement under John Ratcliffe cuts 1,200 jobs with buyouts, targeting deep state holdovers, while the show blames Ancient Orders—not “Jews”—for systemic corruption, rejecting anti-Semitic lies. Finally, Trump's live Oval Office address announces the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, a cultural win against woke elites. With the constitution as your weapon, join the fight for America's soul. The truth is learned, never told—tune in at mg.show to fuel the revolution!

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com
As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a comprehensive and contentious initiative spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, it becomes clear that this is more than just a policy blueprint – it's a vision for a fundamentally transformed American governance.Project 2025 is the culmination of efforts by over 400 scholars and conservative groups, led by former Trump administration officials Paul Dans and Spencer Chretien. This 900-page manifesto outlines a sweeping overhaul of federal policies, aiming to reshape the government in line with conservative principles. The project is structured around four key pillars: a detailed policy guide, a database of potential personnel, a training program for these candidates, and a playbook for actions to be taken within the first 180 days of a new administration[2][4].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its approach to education. The initiative criticizes what it terms "woke propaganda" in public schools and advocates for a significant reduction in the federal government's role in education. This includes closing the Department of Education and transferring its responsibilities to the states. Programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) would be administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, and the National Center for Education Statistics would become part of the Census Bureau. The federal government, according to Project 2025, should merely keep statistics, rather than enforcing civil rights in schools or investigating disparate impacts of disciplinary measures on racial or ethnic grounds[1].The project also proposes drastic changes in education funding. It suggests allowing Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to expire, which would remove $18 billion in federal funds for schools in low-income areas. Instead, public funds would be available as school vouchers, even for parents sending their children to private or religious schools. This shift is part of a broader philosophy that views education as a private rather than a public good[1].In the realm of environmental policy, Project 2025's vision is equally radical. It seeks to downsize the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), close the EPA's Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights, and reverse the 2009 EPA finding that carbon dioxide emissions are harmful to human health. This would prevent the federal government from regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The project also advocates for blocking the expansion of the national electrical grid, stymying the transition to renewable energy, and relaxing regulations on the fossil fuel industry. For instance, it suggests removing restrictions on oil drilling imposed by the Bureau of Land Management and promoting Arctic drilling[1].The implications of these environmental policies are far-reaching. Nonpartisan experts warn that without expanding the electrical grid, renewable energy projects will have to slow down. Additionally, the project's stance on climate change mitigation is at odds with many Republicans who acknowledge the importance of addressing climate change. Benji Backer, founder of the American Conservation Coalition, has criticized Project 2025's climate policies as "wrongheaded" and noted a growing consensus among younger Republicans that human activity causes climate change[1].Project 2025 also targets other federal agencies and programs. It proposes reforming the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) by shifting the majority of preparedness and response costs to states and localities. This move is justified by the argument that FEMA is "overtasked" and "overcompensates for the lack of state and local preparedness and response." The project further suggests ending preparedness grants for states and localities, arguing that these grants should be terminated to prevent the Department of Homeland Security from "handing out federal tax dollars"[3].In the area of technology and media, Project 2025's recommendations are equally sweeping. It calls for increasing agency accountability while decreasing wasteful spending at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The project also advocates for promoting national security and economic prosperity by supporting the expansion of 5G networks and satellite technologies like StarLink. Additionally, it suggests that Big Tech companies should contribute to the Universal Service Fund, which is currently funded through telephone bills[4].The project's approach to civil rights and social policies is another contentious area. It proposes rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across federal agencies, arguing that these policies can violate federal civil rights laws. Project 2025 also aims to dismantle the DEI apparatus in various agencies and eliminate terms like "DEI," "abortion," and "gender equality" from federal rules and regulations. This stance aligns with Trump's executive order ending all DEI programs within the federal government, which he claimed could shut out Americans "who deserve a shot at the American dream" due to their race or sex[3].Critics of Project 2025, including Democrats and some Republicans, have been vocal about its potential impacts. Vice President Kamala Harris has described the project as a plan to "return America to a dark past," and President Biden has accused Trump of lying about his connections to the initiative, stating that it "should scare every single American"[2].Despite Trump's public disavowal of Project 2025, the initiative's connections to his administration are undeniable. Former high-ranking officials like Ben Carson, John Ratcliffe, and Peter Navarro are listed as authors or contributors to the policy agenda. This close association has led critics to argue that Project 2025 is essentially a blueprint for a second Trump term, one that could endanger democratic institutions and concentrate presidential power[2][4].As the 2024 elections approach, Project 2025 stands as a significant milestone in the debate over the future of American governance. Its proposals, if implemented, would mark a profound shift in federal policies, from education and environmental regulation to technology and civil rights. Whether these changes would be beneficial or detrimental remains a subject of intense debate.In the words of Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, the nation is "in the process of the second American Revolution," which he hopes will remain bloodless. However, the radical nature of Project 2025's proposals has raised concerns among many that this revolution could come at a steep cost to democratic values and social welfare[2].As we move forward, the fate of Project 2025 will likely be decided in the political arena. Will its vision for a more conservative, decentralized government prevail, or will it face significant resistance from those who see it as a threat to the fabric of American society? The answer will depend on the choices made by voters, policymakers, and the next administration. One thing is certain, however: Project 2025 has set the stage for a critical conversation about the future of America, one that will shape the country's trajectory for years to come.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Trump hand-picked his national security team to troll the libs, and boy did he get us good. From Pete Hegseth to Tulsi Gabbard to John Ratcliffe, each pick seemed more incompetent than the last. But are they also criminals? We break down all the criminal, civil, and record-keeping issues in Signalgate. Also: we've got good news from the D.C. Circuit as a conservative panel declines to hand Trump the unreviewable power to deport anyone, anywhere under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Things are… maybe looking up? Links: J.G.G. v.

Blame and lies are flying as high level officials with the Trump administration try to save face in the aftermath of the Signal scandal. National security advisor Mike Waltz, who allegedly added the reporter from the Atlantic to a private group chat discussing military attack plans, now says he's never even met the reporter. Like magic, two pictures of them standing shoulder to shoulder emerged. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio did his best to try to distance himself from the scandal, CIA director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, both happened to be testifying in front of Congress and did their best to avoid trouble. We'll, lay it all out as we welcome political analyst, and presidential historian John Rothmann to the show. The court cases against President Trump are many. Two fresh rulings against Trump are bringing him ire. We will run it past former federal prosecutor, now defense attorney, David Katz.

C dans l'air du 26 mars 2025 - Trump : "Il nous faut le Groenland"C'est l'histoire d'une faille de sécurité retentissante. Le rédacteur en chef du site The Atlantic a révélé, lundi 24 mars, avoir pu assister "par erreur" à une réunion "top secrète" sur la messagerie Signal rassemblant 18 responsables américains de premier plan concernant les bombardements américains au Yémen, avant même qu'ils aient lieu le 15 mars dernier. Une révélation qui suscite depuis une onde de choc aux États-Unis, tandis que les appels à la démission se sont multipliés contre ces membres du gouvernement qualifiés "d'amateurs".Ce serait, en effet, Michael Waltz, le conseiller à la sécurité nationale de Donald Trump, qui aurait ajouté par erreur Jeffrey Goldberg à un groupe sur Signal aux côtés des principaux poids lourds du gouvernement. Le vice-président J.D. Vance participait à cette conversation, tout comme Pete Hegseth, le ministre de la Défense, John Ratcliffe, le directeur de la CIA, ou encore Steve Witkoff, l'émissaire spécial du président américain pour le Moyen-Orient et l'Ukraine.Sur ce fil de discussions, le journaliste a pu prendre connaissance du détail des plans US pour bombarder les Houthis au Yémen. Il a également pu lire des échanges, crus et sans détours, critiquant les Européens, qualifiés de "profiteurs pathétiques" de l'argent et de la puissance militaire des États-Unis.Au-delà de la bourde, le recours à cette messagerie et les propos qui y ont été tenus suscitent un tollé outre-Atlantique. "C'est l'une des fuites de renseignement militaire les plus stupéfiantes que j'ai lues depuis très, très longtemps", a dénoncé le chef de la minorité démocrate au Sénat américain, Chuck Schumer, appelant à une "enquête complète". "D'un point de vue de sécurité opérationnelle, c'est le plus grand foirage possible. Ces gens ne peuvent pas assurer la sécurité de l'Amérique", a critiqué pour sa part sur X Pete Buttigieg, personnalité en vue du parti démocrate. Mais une des réactions les plus commentées est venue d'Hillary Clinton, candidate malheureuse face à Donald Trump à la présidentielle de 2016. Le républicain l'avait attaquée à l'époque sans relâche pour avoir envoyé des courriers électroniques officiels via une messagerie privée quand elle était secrétaire d'Etat. "Dites-moi que c'est une blague", a-t-elle écrit sur le réseau social X, en partageant l'article de The Atlantic."Je ne sais rien de tout cela", a répondu Donald Trump, interrogé lundi sur ces révélations qui secouent Washington. Un peu plus tard, sa porte-parole, Karoline Leavitt, a assuré que le président américain "continuait d'avoir la plus grande confiance dans son équipe de sécurité nationale, y compris son conseiller à la sécurité nationale, Mike Waltz".Une affaire et des propos qui ont provoqué également colère et consternation en Europe. "Poutine est désormais au chômage : plus besoin d'espionner, les fuites viennent des Américains eux-mêmes", a ironisé l'eurodéputée Nathalie Loiseau, avant d'enfoncer le clou : "Il n'y a plus d'adultes dans la pièce à Washington. Même mes ados sont plus responsables". Face à la polémique, certains responsables européens néanmoins appellent à l'apaisement. Mais la manière dont les États-Unis parlent de l'UE en ce moment "n'aide pas", a admis la députée danoise Christel Schaldemose, alors qu'une nouvelle visite au Groenland ce jeudi du conseiller américain à la sécurité nationale et de l'épouse du vice-président J.D. Vance relance les tensions."Nous en sommes désormais à un point où il ne s'agit plus d'une simple visite innocente de l'épouse d'un homme politique", a estimé le Premier ministre groenlandais sortant. "Il convient de souligner que notre intégrité et notre démocratie doivent être respectées sans aucune ingérence extérieure", a-t-il martelé sur Facebook. La Première ministre danoise, Mette Frederiksen, avait déjà déclaré au quotidien groenlandais Sermitsiaq que la visite de Usha Vance "ne peut être considérée indépendamment des déclarations publiques qui ont été faites" par le président américain. Depuis son retour à la tête des États-Unis, Donald Trump ne fait que marteler sa volonté de mettre la main sur le Groenland, sans exclure la force et de remettre en cause l'alliance des États-Unis avec le Vieux Continent. Devenu la bête noire des Européens, le président américain suscite aussi l'angoisse des Français expatriés aux États-Unis. Selon une enquête réalisée par le vice-président de l'Assemblée Roland Lescure auprès de 9 000 Français vivant en Amérique du Nord, l'inquiétude est profonde, notamment chez les scientifiques..Les experts :- Général Dominique TRINQUAND - Ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU, auteur de D'un monde à l'autre - Anne-Elisabeth MOUTET, éditorialiste - The Daily Telegraph - Pierre HASKI - Chroniqueur international - France Inter et Le Nouvel Obs - Adina Revol - spécialiste des affaires européennes, autrice de Rompre avec la Russie

Group texts are the scourge of modern communication technology, sure, but when you find yourself somehow looped in on a juicy conversation you know you're not meant to be privy to, who wouldn't stick around to see how it continues?That's the situation Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg (likely "JG" in Mike Waltz' phone or Signal app contacts) found himself in two weekends ago when he was inadvertently (we presume) looped into a curious mixture of Trump Cabinet officials, Pentagon brass, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (and later we learned, another unqualified individual - Joe Kent, as the New York Times reports, "Trump's nominee to run the national counterterrorism center has been acting as a chief of staff to Ms. Gabbard. A confirmation date for Mr. Kent has not been set."Today a Senate subcomittee got to grill Gabbard and CIA director John Ratcliffe on this, and while Ratcliffe insists the conversation wasn't classified, he and she both answered (and dodged) questions as if the information in the conversation was. "You can't have it both ways," exclaimed Senator Mark Warner (D-Va). The one consistent response from Trump officials has been to be smug and disimssive in smearing Goldberg - while also not denying he was erroneously looped in. It's always the journalists with that tribe and never the scandal they created, after all.For his part, Goldberg not only exonerated himself with Jen Psaki, he made the rounds to CNN, and to The Bulwark with Tim Miller, where he claimed an undercover CIA operative was identified (though he's not revealing that agent's name). But remember ... not classified. *wink*Meanwhile, a foul-mouthed Pete Buttigieg did a rare social media take on his own before landing on CNN to weigh in further. Secretary Buttigieg, someone who in a military and political capacity, had to handle classified information, knows the ins and outs of NIPR and SIPR, but the general public of course doesn't. A friend of mine with a two-plus decade career in service gave me a primer on it overnight, insisting "I have a government-issued “secure phone”. It's an iPhone. What makes it “secure” is the Microsoft Azure platform that holds my email certificates; but that's still only NIPR - USG SIPR isn't broadcast in any form via a cellular tunnel. My gov phone is basically software-hardwired to a VPN to the gov non-secure network. It's ridiculous. To put signal on my gov phone I'd have to establish an Apple ID with my gov email (but the gov server would filter the confirmation, so it wouldn't/shouldn't happen) or login to Apple with my personal account on my gov device (I ain't doing that) - and no, Signal isn't available on a ‘government device storefront' so yeah - the whole thing is ridiculous."The whole Chinese spy balloon stuff seems kind of trivial now, no?

In this episode of Need to Know, Ross Coulthart and Bryce Zabel discuss the latest developments in the UAP conversation, particularly the lack of action from the new U.S. administration despite previous campaign promises. They highlight the role of key figures like John Ratcliffe, the new CIA director, and Marco Rubio, the new Secretary of State, both of whom have previously acknowledged the reality of unexplained aerial phenomena. The conversation also delves into Elon Musk's recent claims that he would know about secret UAP programs if they existed—claims that Ross and Bryce find naive, given the compartmentalized nature of classified government projects. The episode also explores the broader implications of disclosure, touching on government secrecy, potential geopolitical ramifications, and the upcoming documentary The Age of Disclosure, which promises to feature high-level insiders speaking out about UAPs. Additionally, the hosts discuss Richard Dolan's new book on USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects) and the historical significance of cases like Kecksburg and the Betty and Barney Hill abduction. The ongoing mystery of military drone incursions and their potential ties to UAP phenomena is another major talking point, with Ross expressing frustration over media and government responses. They close by considering the possibility that foreign powers like Russia or China might take the lead on disclosure, potentially forcing the U.S. to respond. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Trump administration's national security team is in place, and the intelligence community is feeling the shock. Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" has infiltrated federal agencies, intelligence officials are resigning or being purged, and US allies are questioning how much they can still trust Washington. In this episode, The Atlantic's Shane Harris joins Matt to assess the state of the US intelligence community one month into Trump's second term. They discuss the FBI shake-up under Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, Musk's DOGE operatives posing an unprecedented counterintelligence risk, and whether Five Eyes can survive another four years. Plus, is the intelligence community still a viable career path for those who believe in its mission?

The Trump administration is moving at warp speed, and today on Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America break down the latest power plays, meltdowns, and tactical victories—joined by special guest GhostofBPH for an in-depth geopolitical deep dive. First up: Trump's Gaza Gambit—an unexpected proposal for U.S. "ownership" of Gaza that has the world reeling. Is this a Middle East peace masterstroke or the start of something even bigger? The crew unpacks the geopolitical angles, the panic from Netanyahu, and why Trump's approach is straight out of Art of the Deal. Meanwhile, the CIA is offering buyouts as Trump and John Ratcliffe begin their great purge of the intelligence community. With mass resignations looming, what's next for the deep state's shadow army? Also on deck: Schumer, Maxine Waters, and other regime operatives are losing their minds, Elon Musk's efficiency squad is rewriting the rules of government, and the FBI just handed over the names of 5,000 employees who worked on J6 prosecutions—let's talk about why that matters. From sovereign wealth funds to deep state takedowns, this episode is packed. Buckle up—it's all happening!
Jon Herold breaks down another blockbuster day in the news, where the firehose of information just won't let up. First, Trump's unexpected Gaza proposal—is it a real estate masterstroke or a strategic shake-up meant to force the Arab world's hand? The Saudi reaction is loud and clear, but what does it mean for the Abraham Accords and the broader multipolar shift? Meanwhile, the CIA is now offering buyouts—Trump and John Ratcliffe are gutting the intelligence community from the inside out, and the deep state is not taking it well. And speaking of meltdowns, the Democrats' public freakout over USAID's demise is reaching new levels of ridiculousness, with Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, and others screaming into the void about “saving democracy” (read: their money laundering slush fund). Also on deck: Bitcoin's potential new role in the U.S. economy, Pam Bondi's first day as Attorney General, and why Politico and other media outlets have been exposed as government-funded propaganda machines. Buckle up—because the controlled demolition of the corrupt system is officially underway.

A handful of President-elect Trump's cabinet nominees are facing questions from Senators on Capitol Hill. Though it appears some picks like Secretary of State nominee Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and CIA Director nominee John Ratcliffe will face smooth confirmations, it could be more challenging for those like Department of Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth — who had his hearing last Tuesday. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discusses the hearings that have taken place thus far and which ones to watch out for. In a matter of hours, President-elect Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States.

Listen to Blumenthal, Kennedy and Durbin and hear the obvious fear democrats have over being investigated. Which of Trump's cabinet nominees does the Deep State fear most?
