United States Republican Senator from South Dakota
POPULARITY
On today's episode, we discuss Don Lemon's role in an ICE protest that spilled into a Minnesota Baptist church, raising legal questions under the FACE Act and Ku Klux Klan Act about disrupting worship services. The hosts contrast the aggressive federal treatment of pro-life clinic protesters with the apparent reluctance of Minnesota authorities to prosecute the church demonstrators, framing it as another example of a “two-tiered” justice system. From there, they pivot to global strategy, unpacking Trump's anger at the UK over a sovereignty deal for the Chagos Islands and Diego Garcia, and how that dispute intersects with his push to acquire Greenland for U.S. defense and NATO leverage. They highlight Greenland's tiny, mostly Inuit population, its limited infrastructure, and Denmark's constrained ability to defend or develop it as arguments for eventual U.S. control. The conversation then widens to Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, and proxy states, with the hosts arguing that Trump prefers economic and technological pressure, proxy arrangements, and hard bargaining over large-scale troop deployments. A major domestic thread is the SAVE Act and the Senate filibuster, as they debate John Thune, Rand Paul, and other Republicans' reluctance to alter Senate rules despite claims that paper ballots, voter ID, and curtailed mail-in voting are essential to prevent future election “steals.” They close by examining Elon Musk's decision to publish X's recommendation algorithm, concerns about ideological echo chambers, and tactics for using Grok to surface opposing viewpoints instead of just reinforcing existing biases.

On today's episode, we discuss Martin Luther King Jr., communism, and how definitions of government control tie into debates over public education and energy policy. They then connect current unrest in Minnesota and protests over ICE enforcement to deeper concerns about manufactured crises, media narratives about “civil war,” and the use of filibusters and the SAVE Act in the ongoing fight over election integrity and voter ID. A substantial portion of the conversation critiques the filibuster, Senator John Thune's role in preserving it, and broader claims that both parties “rig” elections through machines, rules, and money barriers to entry. The hosts also debate policing, profiling, and use-of-force standards in the recent shooting of a woman blocking an ICE operation, emphasizing both the duty to comply with armed authority and the need to investigate every shooting to improve training. From there, they pivot to foreign policy, arguing over Trump's hardball approach with Denmark and Greenland, what “threatening an ally” really means, and how strategic leverage contrasts with existing U.S. access to bases. In the final stretch, they lighten the tone with stories about marriage, EV road trips, Tesla self-driving experiences, and the everyday tradeoffs between convenience, safety, and technological change.
As Washington grappled with a historic government shutdown, Senate Majority Leader John Thune was quietly keeping the Senate at work, advancing legislation and confirming President Trump's nominees.

As midterms draw near, President Trump and his policies will be put under more scrutiny than ever, but despite significant losses in off-year elections, some in the party still feel confident about their chances in 2026.

President Trump put his signature on a bill that will fund the government through the end of January. The bill brought an end to a 43-day shutdown of the federal government. A group of eight Democratic senators negotiated with Senate Majority leader John Thune to get concessions for furloughed and laid off government workers, and the funding of several federal agencies. The deal did not include the extensions for healthcare subsidies that had become a key messaging point for Democrats throughout the shutdown. Will working out a deal without a big win hurt the political leverage the party seemed to be building? What will it mean for the position of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer?Next, Congress turns back to the Epstein files, with new emails emerging that appeared damning for President Trump. The president signed off on several pardons this week. Among those receiving the pardons were Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows and other members of the president's inner circle who faced scrutiny for their roles in undermining the 2020 election. None of the 70 individuals pardoned were facing federal charges. So what was the point? Does the pardon process need a facelift? The Supreme Court rejected the appeal of a Kentucky county clerk who wanted them to reconsider the landmark same-sex marriage case Obergefell v. Hodges. Concerns on the left about the case's standing were high after the court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. KCRW discusses why Obergefell may not be overturned anytime soon, and answers a question from a listener looking for insight from last week's election margins.
Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes started listening to Wendy Bell Radio while he was in prison as a J6er. Now a free man, Stewart's relaunching his organization and explains what its mission truly is. Why threats of terror attacks have Oath Keepers organized and alert. John Thune's trickery in sliding in a ridiculous provision allowing wire tapped Senate Republicans to sue the government gets torn to shreds, rightly so.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the arrest of two Islamic radicals in Michigan, a surprising reversal from a sanctuary county in Maryland, and President Trump's growing call to end the Senate filibuster — not just to reopen the government, but to save the nation. Terror Plot Foiled in Michigan: The FBI arrested two 20-year-olds in Dearborn, Michigan, for planning ISIS-inspired suicide attacks targeting gay nightclubs on Halloween. Court documents reveal the men trained with live ammo, studied Paris's 2015 terror tactics, and hoped to "kill as many as possible." Bryan warns the arrests highlight a deeper problem — a U.S. subculture that excuses or supports radical Islam. Dearborn's Islamist Culture: From pro-Hamas rallies to officials praising Hezbollah, Dearborn has become a flashpoint for extremism in America. Polling shows 60 percent of U.S. Muslims believe Hamas was justified in its October 7 attacks. Bryan urges listeners to be brave: "We can honor due process and still acknowledge the truth — radical Islam is real, and it's here." Sanctuary County Reverses Course: Baltimore County, Maryland, quietly ended its "sanctuary" status, agreeing to cooperate with ICE on deportations. The move contrasts sharply with states like Massachusetts and California, which still block ICE from removing violent offenders. Bryan says the shift proves local leaders are feeling political pressure as public frustration rises. Trump's Filibuster Fight: As the shutdown drags on, Trump called for eliminating the Senate filibuster to pass key reforms. Some Republicans, including John Thune and Mike Johnson, oppose the idea, fearing Democrats could abuse that power later. Bryan argues that Democrats have already shown they'll destroy norms when convenient — and that saving the Republic now may require breaking tradition. The Bigger Picture: Bryan closes with a stark warning: "We are no longer dealing with the Democrats of JFK or even Bill Clinton. This is a radical party — one that calls Trump a Nazi and believes violence is justified. It's time to recognize that reality and act before it's too late." "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Dearborn Michigan terror arrests, ISIS nightclub attack plot, radical Islam U.S. culture, Baltimore County ends sanctuary policy, ICE deportation cooperation, Trump filibuster repeal debate, John Thune Senate GOP filibuster, government shutdown reform, Bryan Dean Wright analysis

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) joined The Guy Benson Show today on the second anniversary of the October 7th massacre in Israel, reflecting on the enduring lessons from that day and the importance of unwavering U.S. support for Israel and why terrorist groups cannot remain in power. Thune also reacted to the stunning revelation that the FBI has been spying on and tracking GOP senators, calling it a dangerous overreach that demands immediate congressional oversight and accountability. Thune also weighed in on the appalling scandal out of Virginia involving Democratic AG candidate Jay Jones, who reportedly sent text messages wishing death upon the state's Speaker of the House. Finally, Thune discussed the ongoing Schumer Shutdown, arguing that Democrats are squarely to blame for refusing to pass a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open.

Impending Shutdown: The country is only “hours away” from a government shutdown, Partisan Blame: The responsibility for the shutdown is Democrats, particularly Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Republican Positioning: Republicans, including Donald Trump, Speaker Johnson, JD Vance, Tom Cotton, and John Thune, are portrayed as wanting a “clean funding extension” (a short-term budget measure) to keep the government open. Democratic Hypocrisy: The commentary highlights past Democratic statements opposing shutdowns, contrasting them with current positions to claim inconsistency. Accusations of Radicalism: Democrats are described as pushing a $1.5 trillion spending package that allegedly includes: Free healthcare for undocumented immigrants Funding for gender-affirming surgeries Open borders and Medicaid fraud Other “radical left” priorities Political Motivation: A recurring argument is that Schumer is resisting compromise to protect himself from a potential primary challenge by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Consequences of Shutdown The episode also notes practical impacts of a shutdown, such as: Federal employees furloughed or unpaid Disruptions for TSA officers, military families, firefighters, veterans, and prison guards Delays in Social Security, SNAP, and WIC benefits Risks to disaster relief and FEMA funding Potential harm to the economy, including billions in costs and possible credit rating downgrades Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Aaron McIntire unpacks Congress's last-ditch scramble to avert a government shutdown over Democratic demands for illegal immigrant healthcare and gender surgeries, with JD Vance blaming hostage tactics.

Trump and Netanyahu unveil a 20-point Gaza peace plan requiring Hamas disarmament, hostage release, and Israeli withdrawal, but Hamas's acceptance is doubtful. Chuck Grassley slams selective outrage on Comey's indictment, while Swalwell threatens Trump supporters with lawfare. overnment shutdown, JD Vance, Mike Johnson, John Thune, LDS church shooting, Thomas Jacob Sanford, Michigan attack, Trump Netanyahu, Gaza peace plan, Hamas deal, Chuck Grassley, James Comey, Eric Swalwell, political retribution, conservative commentary, Aaron McIntire

John welcomes Puck's chief Washington correspondent, Leigh Ann Caldwell, back to the show to discuss Congress's return to work after its August recess. Leigh Ann assesses the political potency (and limitations) of the public display of solidarity by a phalanx of Jeffrey Epstein survivors in the face of Donald Trump's continued insistence that the story is a “Democrat hoax”; the potential implications of the Senate Finance Committee's bipartisan laceration of RFK, Jr. over his tenure thus far at HHS; and the odds that John Thune and his “pocket rocket” can help avert a government shutdown later this month.
