Senate Majority Leader John Thune is under fire from his own party. Larry breaks down why Thune keeps hedging on the Save America Act (voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements) even though the House already tucked its two biggest provisions into a budget reconciliation bill that only needs 50 votes — votes Republicans already have. He plays the moment a reporter asks Trump point-blank whether Thune is "still the man for the job," compares Thune's rambling answers to Chuck Schumer's near-identical talking points, replays John Cornyn's confused response, and breaks down Senator Mike Lee's floor speech rallying 15 GOP senators who are refusing to let the Senate recess for August until the Save America Act gets a vote.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pags reacts to another speech from Senate Majority Leader John Thune, explaining why he believes Republican leadership isn't delivering when it matters most. Pags asks whether it's finally time for a new Senate leader, breaks down what's standing in the way of Todd Blanche's confirmation, and examines why Sen. John Cornyn has become a central figure in the controversy as President Trump weighs whether to delay the nomination to win over GOP holdouts. Along the way, Pags shares one of his funniest memories with his mother before turning to one of the biggest legal stories in Washington. Will Chamberlain of the Article III Project joins the program to break down what really happened during Dr. Anthony Fauci's Senate testimony, why invoking the Fifth Amendment may not end the story, how senators could still pursue contempt proceedings, whether Biden's blanket pardons have legal limits, if states could bring their own cases against Fauci, and what it will take to get Todd Blanche confirmed.

Dr. Anthony Fauci just sat in front of a Senate committee and invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times rather than answer a single question under oath about his COVID decisions. This hearing came right after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) released hundreds of pages from Fauci's personal diaries. Those entries show the gap between what he told the public and what he was writing privately about masks, lockdowns, the lab-leak theory, and his own rising celebrity. Instead of explaining any of it, Fauci chose silence. Rand Paul warned there would be repercussions. Josh Hawley called him out for contempt of the American people. His attorney even got removed from the room. Regular Americans lived through the school closures, the job losses, the family separations, and the ever-changing rules that Fauci helped shape. Now the man at the center of it all won't even say what day of the week it is without pleading the Fifth. That should tell you everything about how accountable our institutions really are. Pat also covered: Saudi Arabia joins the United States in the fight against Iran. Is America's relationship with Israel finally back to normal? Is Iran winning the propaganda war against the U.S.? John Thune keeps defying the president and the American people. Does Chuck Schumer support abolishing the Senate? Do you think pleading the Fifth 111 times is the move of an innocent man? What do you make of a public health official who spent years telling us what to do, then refuses to answer questions once the diaries come out?

Chuck Schumer gets put on the spot over the Democratic Socialists of America platform to abolish the Senate, and his non-answer says it all!

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear — the popular two-term Democrat in a deep-red state and a name increasingly floated for 2028 — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation that opens with Kentucky's famous Fancy Farm Picnic and the increasingly countercultural idea that political disagreement shouldn't make people enemies. Beshear turns pointed on Mitch McConnell, who he says has been absent for six weeks without speaking to him, arguing that McConnell has a fundamental duty to level with the people of Kentucky about his condition.. Beshear notes the governor has no authority to declare a vacancy, calls on John Thune to help put the concerns to rest, and observes pointedly that if the situation were reversed, McConnell would be ruthlessly tactical about it — and that the right should arguably be angrier, since it's one fewer vote for the GOP agenda. Beshear reflects at length and with real emotion on the COVID years, which he calls the war of our time with a higher casualty rate than most Americans appreciate, credits Kentucky's expanded Medicaid with keeping the state from running out of hospital beds, and warning that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will close 35 hospitals in Kentucky alone. He's sharply critical of Rand Paul for dragging Fauci into character-assassination hearings while staying conspicuously silent on McConnell, and reminds listeners it was Trump who ordered governors to shut down the economy, not Fauci. The conversation turns to Beshear's political philosophy and the road ahead for Democrats. He rejects the "moderate" label in favor of "pragmatic," arguing that the constant battle to label everyone misses how much more complicated reality actually is. Beshear makes the case that Democrats don't win by becoming a Democratic version of McConnell or Trump, that the party needs to be the party of making the economy work again, and that it should champion structural reforms like campaign finance amendments, outlawing gerrymandering, and directly electing the president. He's visibly frustrated with Democrats who blame other Democrats when Republicans are the ones doing the damage — there's no time for "woulda-couldas," he argues, when Trump and the GOP are inflicting this much harm. As a leader in the Democratic Governors Association, Beshear lays out where he sees real opportunity: big resources heading into Georgia, the critical importance of Katie Hobbs winning in Arizona to ensure a fair 2028 election, and the DGA's willingness to spend anywhere it can win. He addresses the data center backlash as fundamentally rooted in anxiety about AI and big tech's failure to talk to the communities it moves into, and stays characteristically coy about his own 2028 ambitions.

Chuck Todd argues Republicans and the White House are frantically trying to manufacture headlines about the past precisely because the actual news of the present is terrible for the GOP, and because the very issues that got Trump elected are the ones he's now ignoring. Democrats are winning heading into the midterms, TChuck says; the only real question is by how much, which is exactly why Republicans are so desperate to feed their base culture-war red meat as a distraction. But the story Chuck argues is being dangerously underplayed is the Iran war, which is no longer a regional conflict at all: close to thirty countries have been directly involved, multiple nations have been hit, and the Iran and Ukraine wars have effectively merged through shared supply chains — Russia has launched thousands of Iranian-made drones at Ukraine, improved and manufactured them, and is now shipping them back to Iran, while Ukrainian air defense teams have been redeployed to the Middle East and the American stockpile of interceptor missiles has been so massively depleted that commanders are rationing them. He calls the war the dumbest mistake a president has made in decades, while rising oil prices help both Iran and Russia.. It's not World War III, he cautions, but it's genuinely hard to see how it ends, and Congress should be singularly focused on it and simply isn't. He then pivots to what he calls a politics of AI that hasn't been invented yet, where the public is way ahead of the politicians: 72% of Americans have used AI in the past three months and like it, but the vast majority don't trust big tech or the AI companies, and the fierce backlash against data centers is really the manifestation of a deeper anger ever since tech companies stopped trying to improve lives and started maximizing engagement. The public isn't rejecting AI, he argues, it's rejecting the technologists, and Trump has planted himself firmly on the side of the tech companies over the public. He closes by lamenting that political energy is being spent on Fauci rather than pandemic preparedness — before quick hits on Todd Achilles getting a one-on-one race in Idaho, Seth Bodnar leading in Montana if the Democrat can be coaxed into dropping out, and the question hanging over Michigan: if Abdul El-Sayed loses, will it have been because of Mamdani's Israel speech? Then, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear — the popular two-term Democrat in a deep-red state and a name increasingly floated for 2028 — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation that opens with Kentucky's famous Fancy Farm Picnic and the increasingly countercultural idea that political disagreement shouldn't make people enemies.

After weeks of near-total silence following his fall and hospital stay, the 84-year-old Kentucky senator posed for the camera looking cheerful. He's missing Fancy Farm and a colleague's memorial, and he's still sidelined as the Senate heads toward recess. His office and the Capitol physician say he's grinding through intense physical therapy every day, with his childhood polio still a major factor in his mobility. This is the first real update in 15 days, and the timing has a lot of people wondering what's actually going on behind the smile. Regular Americans watching this career politician enter the final months of a 42-year run deserve straight talk instead of carefully staged photo ops.

Pags sounds the alarm over a disturbing TikTok and Netflix-inspired trend after a young woman lost her life, using the tragedy to deliver a powerful warning about social media, online influence, and why what you post today can follow you forever. Pags explains why people need to think before they record, think before they upload, and why chasing viral attention can have devastating consequences. Then, aboard Air Force One, President Trump responds to questions about whether America's weapons stockpiles are running low, directly pushing back on the growing narrative. Pags traces the rumor back to Sen. Mark Kelly and dismantles the claims point by point before bringing you more of the president's comments, including his blunt response to Sen. John Thune and why he says no one—not Congress or foreign leaders—is going to tell him who the United States can and cannot sell weapons to. Learn more about your ad choices.

The heart of the video is the math. Passing anything through the filibuster takes 60 votes, and Hawk argues the SAVE Act, which would end mail-in voting nationwide, cannot get there. Several Republican senators oppose it, in part because millions of Republican voters use mail-in ballots. And Thune does not even have 51 Republican votes to nuke the filibuster, especially with a caucus that has cooled on Trump. Hawk lays out why the relationship has soured. Trump backed primary challengers against Bill Cassidy and John Cornyn and pushed Thom Tillis toward the exit, while Susan Collins faces a tough reelection and Lisa Murkowski keeps her distance. With Lindsey Graham gone and Mitch McConnell unseen for weeks, the working majority is thin. Hawk closes on the irony: a Democratic Senate could use a dead filibuster to add states and seats.

We opened the phone lines and let regular listeners say what they really want done with Iran — no filters, no focus groups, just straight talk from people who are sick of the endless cycles of threats, deals, and excuses. These callers aren't sitting in think tanks or cable news green rooms. They're the folks who actually live with the consequences of weak foreign policy, higher gas prices, and the constant risk that a regime that chants “Death to America” keeps getting more time and more leverage. The conversation went exactly where you'd expect when you stop listening to the same recycled experts and start listening to the audience: clear-eyed assessments of the threat, frustration with decades of mixed signals, and a lot of commonsense ideas about strength, deterrence, and not repeating the same mistakes. If you've been wondering what real Americans outside the Beltway are thinking about Iran right now, this is the unfiltered version.

President Trump took questions from the press today, and one reporter asked about the SAVE Act and Sen. John Thune. Then, Howie updates us on the latest illegal immigration news. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Trump encourages all Americans who want the SAVE America Act passed - and we do - to call Senator John Thune's office and ask that he do his job. This whole mess brings into sharper focus - and for more voters - the weakling DNA of RINOs. New Jersey's governor blames illegals being registered to vote and voting in her state on President Trump and, if you can believe it, Putin. More liberal "influencers" including James Carville urge democrats to pass the legislation and move on or else be beaten like a drum in November.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 22, 2026. We open with President Trump attending the dignified transfer of four fallen U.S. service members at Dover Air Force Base — and the political left's insistence on finding fault with it. We explain what a dignified transfer actually is: not a press conference, not a campaign event, not a photo opportunity. It is the most solemn responsibility a commander-in-chief carries — standing on behalf of 340 million Americans to receive sons and daughters who left home in uniform and came back draped in the flag. We also note a detail that made no headlines: President Trump gave the family of Lieutenant Tyler Feehan, who was from Georgia, a ride home on Air Force One. We contrast this with the man who checked his watch at an identical ceremony. And we put the 18 casualties in historical context — fewer than the invasion of Grenada, fewer than the invasion of Panama, against a military exponentially larger than either. We are not losing this conflict. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Trump-backed candidates swept Republican primaries in Arizona — with Andy Biggs winning the gubernatorial nomination to challenge Katie Hobbs, Mark Lamb winning the 5th Congressional District nomination, and retired NFL kicker Jay Feeley winning the 1st Congressional District nomination. More than 95% of Trump-endorsed candidates win their Republican primaries — a political endorsement success rate unprecedented in American history. Then the FBI captured fugitive Khalid Satari — a fraudster who had fled to Dubai after allegedly bilking Medicare out of $547 million through a scheme of kickbacks and bribes to doctors for unnecessary genetic testing across Georgia, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. He was arrested overseas and returned to the United States to face trial. We also want to know who the doctors are. We also push back on MyPillow CEO and Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Lindell's proposal to give illegal aliens amnesty through conditional work visas with no expiration date. We acknowledge Lindell is a patriot and his heart may be in the right place. We also note that we have seen this movie before. A work visa with no expiration date plus a family and a mortgage will produce, in exactly the timeline the left expects, a demand for citizenship and a voter registration form. The second chance we are willing to offer: $2,600 from the federal government to fly home and try the right way. That is the second chance. We are not offering a third. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to a listener question about wheelchair abuse at airports — and Teri, as a former flight attendant, confirms it has always happened but is now out of control. The mechanism is simple: wheelchair assistance gets you to the front of the boarding line, but requires you to wait for everyone to deplane before you can exit. So the people who needed a wheelchair to board are miraculously able to walk off the plane on their own. Teri connects it to the broader problem of low-trust cultural values meeting high-trust American systems — and notes that systems built on good faith get abused when the good faith isn't there. We sit down with Brett Ackleberry of Focus on the Family to discuss PluggedIn.com — a free media discernment tool that provides in-depth content reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and YouTube channels from a Christian perspective. We discuss The Odyssey, The Passion of the Christ, and the difference between entertainment that earns its darkness and content that simply delivers it. Brett explains that PluggedIn is not there to tell anyone what to watch — it's there to give families the information they need to decide for themselves. It's free, it's thorough, and it's available right now at PluggedIn.com. We cover the New Jersey non-citizen voter registration story — where the state called 6,000 improper registrations a software glitch and the software company said it was not their error — and connect it to the 24 states that still refuse to use the federal SAVE system, which is now free, to verify citizenship on their voter rolls. States with Democrat trifectas represent the vast majority of those refusing to use it. They also insist no illegal voting is occurring. We predict a government shutdown in September — driven by Senate Republicans who won't pass spending bills the House has already sent over — and say plainly that the game is simple. Democrats stall, Democrats posture, and the country pays the price. Republicans in the Senate don't have to help them. John Thune needs to pick a side. For our Bright Spot, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a consolidated ruling across multiple cases involving detained illegal aliens — finding that they do not have a constitutional due process right to bail that would allow them to remain in the country while fighting deportation proceedings. This year alone, judges had released more than 11,000 ICE detainees before removal could be completed. The Fifth Circuit just closed that door across Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas — and in doing so, removed the incentive for detained illegal aliens to fight and delay removal rather than accepting voluntary departure. We also cover a Tennessee Republican candidate named Brian Stewart whose campaign presents him as a Marine veteran — with the Marine Corps itself reportedly saying his premature discharge was incongruent with Marine Corps standards. We say it plainly: you do not lie about your military service. It is not a resume bullet point. It is sacrifice, discipline, and danger. Some gave the full measure of devotion. If you are thinking about lying about that, stop. And we close with Jenitar and Jortham Na'amuana — who already had four children when they discovered their fifth pregnancy was actually four babies. Natural identical quadruplets. No fertility therapy. Odds of one in fifteen million. All four delivered by C-section at 28 weeks, each weighing just over two pounds, all doing well and expected to go home soon. They are certainly doing their part. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

I joined The Andrea Kaye Show to expose why Republican leaders campaign endlessly on election integrity, illegal immigration, government weaponization, and the deep state while repeatedly refusing to solve any of them. Passing the SAVE Act, prosecuting corrupt officials, and enacting President Trump's agenda would require the GOP establishment to surrender the boogeymen that keep the donation emails flowing, which explains why John Thune appears more comfortable producing congressional theater than producing results. We also discussed Todd Blanche's refusal to inspire confidence, the increasingly strange questions surrounding Mitch McConnell, and the reality that Republicans helped oversee the election failures they now pretend were exclusively Democratic operations. Apparently governing is difficult when unresolved crises have become the party's most reliable subscription service.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

With just 105 days until the 2026 midterms, Chuck Todd and Chris Cillizza use their last Super Tuesday before the sub-100-day mark to take stock of what they think they know. The headline: with Trump's approval stuck below 40, gas back over $4, an Iran conflict reigniting, and an ICE controversy dominating the news, nearly every fundamental points toward Republicans losing both chambers — and the guys argue the only thing standing between Democrats and a monster year is the Democrats themselves. They dig deep into the polling weeds, unpacking why the generic ballot has quietly become more of a party-ID number, why you can't compare it across cycles anymore, why independents are breaking hard left, and what to make of the model giving Democrats a 62% shot at the House while Republicans hold a 59% edge in the Senate. From there it's onto the races reshaping the map: South Carolina, where Trump ally Russell Frye jumps into the special and Lindsey Graham's appointed sister surprises everyone by running for a full term — a rare bit of GOP pragmatism that hands John Thune a much-needed win — and Maine, where Troy Jackson is set to be coronated at the Democratic convention and the ICE story has erased Susan Collins's post-Platner breathing room. Chuck and Chris also weigh the stalled Todd Blanche confirmation, the $400 million Qatari plane suddenly deemed too unsafe to fly, and why character and temperament remain the whole ballgame.

In this segment, host Charlie James vehemently argues that Senate Republicans must abolish the filibuster while they hold power, rather than clinging to procedural rules or a false sense of morality. Using an analogy of entering a fight with Marquess of Queensberry rules while an opponent carries a knife, he warns that Democrats will eliminate the filibuster immediately upon regaining control to pass their agenda, pack the Supreme Court, and make Washington D.C. a state. James criticizes Republican leadership, including John Thune, for allowing hundreds of beneficial bills to sit in a Senate logjam under the pretense of tradition. A caller, Richard from Greenville, joins the conversation to agree, asserting that many Republicans prefer being in the minority so they can offer excuses rather than face the accountability of governing. Both host and caller conclude that Republicans must fight to implement conservative legislation or step aside for leaders who will.

Hour 1 of The Marc Cox Morning Show sets an urgent tone for election integrity heading into the August 4th Missouri primary. Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge dig through Trump's heavily redacted document release, uncovering references to 278,000 non-citizen voter registrations and hacked state voter files — then call out RINOs Tom Tillis and John Thune for blocking the Save America Act. Kim on a Whim brings cybersecurity expert Mark Cook's jaw-dropping demonstration of how easily voting machines can be manipulated, sparking a rare Marc-and-Kim agreement on federal election standards. Cox closes the hour laying out the conservative case for Amendment 4's initiative petition reform and rolling out his local endorsements, including Bill Igel for St. Charles County Executive. Faith, family, freedom, and fair elections — that's the throughline this hour on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 15, 2026. We open with the biggest election integrity news in years — the House passed the SAVE Act as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, 217 to 209, with Speaker Mike Johnson delivering exactly what he promised us two weeks ago when he sat down with American Ground Radio. We explain what the SAVE Act actually does — and what it doesn't. It doesn't change who is eligible to vote. It doesn't alter the Constitution. It simply requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. We point out that we verify identity to board a plane, open a bank account, and buy a beer — and that the only people who benefit from not verifying citizenship at voter registration are people who aren't citizens. We also note that Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin's claim that no Democrat will ever win again if the SAVE Act passes raises an obvious question about how many non-citizens have been voting for her party. The bill now goes to the Senate, where John Thune needs to do his job — or be voted out at the first opportunity. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch testified before the Senate in his confirmation hearing — telling senators that his client is not the president but the American people, while more than 1,200 former DOJ employees signed a letter opposing his confirmation, which may be the best endorsement he could have received. Then the House passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent year-round — meaning darker mornings in winter and lighter evenings, with states currently on permanent standard time allowed to stay there. And Senate Democrats boycotted a hearing on government fraud, with only one Democrat showing up before leaving after his opening statement — even as investigative journalists Nick Shirley, James O'Keefe, and Dylan Heder-Gaudette presented documented findings on billions in fraudulent benefits claims. As Nick Shirley said, no dollar says Republican or Democrat on it. We also tackle the question of whether a New Hampshire state representative can drive 102 miles per hour on her way to the legislature and claim constitutional immunity from arrest under a provision dating back to the era of kings arresting parliamentarians on their way to inconvenient votes. We acknowledge the historical purpose of the law. We reject the application of it to someone who simply didn't plan her schedule well enough. Rules for thee but not for me is not a constitutional principle — and if you don't care about the safety of the people on the road, why would you care about the safety of the people you represent? Our American Mama Teri Netterville weighs in on the Emmy nominations — and the conversation becomes a broader indictment of an awards system that has completely lost touch with what Americans are actually watching. Greg Gutfeld hosts the number one late night show in the country. Not nominated. Taylor Sheridan has produced Yellowstone, Landman, 1923, and The Madison — all massive hits with critics and audiences alike. Not nominated. Meghan Markle's show As Ever received a 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, was called the sweet spot between irrelevant and intolerable by the Times of London, and was canceled. Emmy nominated. The awards don't reflect excellence anymore. They reflect ideology. In our Digging Deep segment, U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll announced that the Army has already met its 2026 recruiting goals — with 61,500 new recruits — eight and a half months before the year ends. Compare that to 2022, when the military missed its goals by 25%, and 2023, when it missed by 10%. Nothing changed except the administration and with it the clarity of purpose. We play Simon Sinek's story about a Marine recruiter who told a high school auditorium full of teenagers that not a single one of them was good enough to be a Marine — and walked out with the longest line of any recruiter in the room. People don't want to be told service is easy. They want to be challenged to be worthy of it. Trump and Hegseth figured that out. The numbers prove it. We also cover France's assisted suicide legislation — which has passed the lower house and would allow physicians and nurses to end the lives of patients who cannot do so themselves. The Catholic Church in France has threatened excommunication for any legislator who votes for it, and Pope Francis personally asked Macron not to sign it. We make the pro-life case plainly — compassion means walking with those who suffer, not eliminating the one who is suffering. A society's worth is measured by how it treats its most vulnerable, not by how conveniently it removes them. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has now threatened to shut down all Middle Eastern oil exports if Iran cannot export its own — using energy as a weapon exactly as both Iran and Iraq did during the 1980s war. We note that this is exactly why the Iraq oil pipeline deal through Turkey matters, why the Strait of Hormuz matters, and why at some point the president may have to say what needs to be said about ground troops. For our Bright Spot, a Spanish conservation group called El Burrito Feliz — the Happy Little Donkey — has deployed 18 donkeys around Doñana National Park on Spain's Atlantic coast, an area with the same fire-prone Mediterranean climate as Southern California. Since the donkeys were introduced, there has not been a single wildfire in the park in nine years. The donkeys eat the dry scrub and tall grasses that fuel fires, reach terrain that vehicles cannot, and cost a fraction of what California spends on fire suppression after the fact. We suggest California try it. What have they got to lose? And we close with Jenny Stepien, who walked down the aisle on her wedding day wishing her father could be there. Her father Michael had passed away ten years earlier — but he was an organ donor, and his heart had saved the life of a man named Tom Thomas, who became Jenny's pen pal out of gratitude. On her wedding day, Tom was there in person for the first time — to walk her down the aisle in her father's place. At the end of the aisle, Jenny placed her hand on Tom's chest and felt her father's heart beating one more time, just before she said I do. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

   We may debate what degree the Supreme Court is compromised because the justices are under threats of violence from the left but it's very clear this court is affected.  Justice Amy Coney Barrett appeared in front of Congress and is clearly terrified to do her job.  This is unacceptable in America.  We'll play the sound clip and you can hear her pain.    President Trump is just toying with the left wing media as he teases an address to the nation Thursday night that he says is a really, really big deal concerning election integrity.  I hope the tease isn't better than the speech.    Congress passes the Sunshine Protection Act by a wide margin and now sends it off to the Senate where it will probably die thanks to John Thune.    If you missed the All Star Game on Fox, well, it wasn't about the game.  This broadcast was a fantastic TV show and celebration of American greatness.  It was truly special and we are so, so back baby.    I'm over the disaster that was Jerome Tang coaching KSU basketball so it's time for me to apologize to KSU AD Gene Taylor who is just a terrific guy and completely respected and admired by his peers.  Taylor has been named to another high profile national position as selected by other AD's.  Yes, I had TDS.  Tang Derangement Syndrome.  I'm sorry.     Spain advances to the final of the World Cup and now I"m rooting for England to knock off Argentina.  The final is Sunday and then we get a very nice four year break.   Our Final Final is a cruise filled with Americans that was turned away by Turkey and Egypt....  because it was a gay cruise.

President Trump on Friday said he will not sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, because of the Senate's refusal to pass the SAVE America Act. Trump described the Senate's failure as “CRAZY,” further demanding that the Senate terminate the filibuster and pass it, along with “every other Bill that true Republicans have ever dreamt of,” before it's too late.Sponsor:My PillowWww.MyPillow.com/johnSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this week's Substack LIVE conversation, Chris Cillizza and talk about the following topics:— Graham Platner exits the Maine Senate race after serious sexual assault allegations. We dissect why he won the primary anyway and what it says about populist vetting. — In his 11-minute exit video, Platner takes zero responsibility and blames the establishment— Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized since June 14. We finally got some updates from Sen. John Thune and Scott Jennings, but conspiracy theories are alive and well.

The worst coverup in recent history blows up in the GOP's face as rumors surface that Mitch McConnell is brain dead after suffering a heart attack June 14. Why did John Thune lie about it? Why didn't McConnell's aides tell the truth? Hear from the reporter who broke the story. Trump Accounts for America's children get some unexpected positive coverage as Trump says he's considering mandatory retirement savings for adults. Socialism has already worn out its welcome in NYC as residents are watching wealth distribution in real time.  

In the ultimate un-American power play, a San Diego homeowners association cracks down on American flags because they are too political, and homeowners fight back. Toxic liberal chicks strike again as a babe on The View says communities with lots of American flags make her feel unsafe. Chuck Todd emerges from his hole to gripe about Trump's "sullying" of America's 250th birthday and John Thune - in his own words - lies to America. It's time to remove him and find a leader we can be proud of.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers America's 250th birthday weekend, from Trump's Mt. Rushmore fireworks comeback and his barn-burner speech calling Communism a cancer on the Republic, to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's counter-speech from George Washington's desk blasting white Americans as colonizers while his wife skipped the celebrations for a Muslim retreat in Spain. Bryan then tracks the sharp clash between VP JD Vance and Pope Leo over open borders immigration policy, grounded in fresh cases including a Biden-era Haitian migrant killing a Pennsylvania State Police trooper, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz pardoning a convicted child rapist from Laos, and newly elected Communist Congresswoman Melat Kiros refusing to condemn a Muslim terror attack targeting Jews in Boulder. On the global front, Iran's IRGC announces a discriminatory fee structure for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the former Ayatollah's funeral reveals the possible disappearance of Iran's new Supreme Leader, and Australia continues pulling Pacific island nations away from China with new security pacts in Fiji and the Solomon Islands.

It started as a no-big-deal story. Senator Mitch McConnell was taken to the hospital for an unknown reason but was receiving "excellent care" and, according to John Thune, was engaging in senate business from his hospital room. McConnell suffered a heart attack and was found unconscious, needed CPR and is most likely on life support. Is that why his wife bounced to China 3 days after his collapse? Who's voting for McConnell as he's likely brain dead? A democrat running for Mitch's seat wants answers, and we agree. Spencer Pratt calls Mamdani a commie in a new viral video.    

Midterms are around the corner and John Thune is continuing to work for the dems! He has done nothing but obstruct President Trump's agenda. This all happening as the Dems have revealed their plans for 2028 and it's a full on marxist plan.
