It's about time Washington took our nation's spending crisis seriously! The House narrowly passed a continuing resolution to avoid a partial federal government shutdown (so close! ha!). Meanwhile, Elon Musk and Senator Lindsey Graham highlight concerns about Social Security spending and insolvency. These are positive steps, but politicians in D.C. and across the country must take meaningful action to spend less, make TCJA permanent, deregulate, and ultimately get the government out of the way.This week, I dive into the federal funding debate, Social Security, the costs of tariffs, school choice chances in Texas, Trump's energy policy, the new Labor Secretary appointment, and institutional investors' impact on housing.For more insights, visit vanceginn.com and get even greater value with a subscription to my Substack newsletter at vanceginn.substack.com.

Today a Senate Committee voted to advance former Oregon Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Trump's controversial pick for Labor Secretary, to a full floor vote, so Americans would do well to begin preparing for an impending onslaught of labor-related news, especially since, as my colleague Mike Watson will likely make clear in this episode, the new courtship of Big Labor coming from the right made the unlikely pick of Chavez-DeRemer a possibility. Adding to the drama was the no vote from Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who, not coincidentally, earlier in February introduced the National Right to Work Act, a conservative-backed bill that among other things, makes paying union dues voluntary. Joining us to discuss that development, and his organization's work on the act itself, is Jace White, Director of Federal Affairs at the National Right to Work Committee. Links: Dr. Rand Paul Reintroduces National Right to Work ActNational Right To Work FoundationWhy Is Josh Hawley Bringing Obamanomics Back from the Grave?It doesn't go well when Republicans put Big Labor in the CabinetFollow us on our socials: Twitter: @capitalresearchInstagram: @capitalresearchcenterFacebook: www.facebook.com/capitalresearchcenterYouTube: @capitalresearchcenter

COULD WE GET A NATIONAL RIGHT TO WORK BILL? The introduction of the National Right to Work Act in the U.S. House and Senate. The bill would end forced union dues payments for private sector employees across the country. Its introduction comes as a fight is brewing on Capitol Hill over Lori Chavez-DeRemer, whose confirmation hearing for Labor Secretary is coming up soon. Chavez-DeRemer backed the PRO Act when she was in Congress, which would have eliminated every state Right to Work law. I've got Mark Mix, the National Right to Work Committee President, on today to talk about the bill just introduced by Rand Paul. He's on at 1pm, follow them on X here or on Facebook here.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze strong CBS poll numbers for President Trump, his controversial Labor Secretary pick, and their thoughts on Super Bowl LIX.First, they react to President Trump's positive poll numbers just three weeks into his term. Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan appeared less than pleased to report Trump's 53% approval rating and that 70% of Americans believe he's keeping his promises. They discuss how future polling will depend on Trump's handling of unexpected events and argue that the media's relentless negativity isn't swaying public opinion much at all.Next, they examine the push to derail Trump's Labor Secretary pick, former Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer. The National Right to Work Committee warns that she backs the PRO Act, which would ban the right to work without union membership and severely impact freelancers. They also question whether this nomination is a reward for some labor unions refusing Kamala Harris or whether Trump is shifting his stance on labor policy. But in all honesty, blocking this nomination will be very difficult. Finally, they break down Super Bowl LIX—from the Philadelphia Eagles' dominant win over the Kansas City Chiefs to commercials. Plus, Jim explains the not-so-subtle messaging inside Kendrick Lamar's halftime show while Greg wishes there wasn't a halftime show at all.Please visit our great sponsors:Oraclehttps://Oracle.com/MARTINICut your current Cloud bill in half if you move to OCI.  See if your company qualifies today.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre's allegations against Bill Richardson and George Mitchell are part of her broader claims of being sexually abused and trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. Giuffre has stated that she was recruited by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell when she was 17 years old and subsequently coerced into a life of sex trafficking.Bill Richardson:Bill Richardson, a former Governor of New Mexico, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and Secretary of Energy, was named by Giuffre in legal documents. She alleged that Richardson was one of the high-profile individuals to whom Epstein trafficked her for sex. Richardson has categorically denied these allegations, stating that he has never met Giuffre and was unaware of Epstein's criminal activities. His spokesperson has emphasized that Richardson's interactions with Epstein were limited to legitimate political and charitable efforts.George Mitchell:George Mitchell, a former U.S. Senator and Senate Majority Leader, was also implicated by Giuffre. She claimed that Mitchell was among the influential men to whom Epstein trafficked her. Like Richardson, Mitchell has denied the allegations, asserting that he never met, spoke with, or had any contact with Giuffre. Mitchell has stated that his limited interactions with Epstein were in the context of fundraising and other public activities.Broader Context:Giuffre's accusations against Richardson and Mitchell are part of a series of allegations she has made against several prominent individuals. These allegations emerged as part of legal proceedings against Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre's claims have drawn significant media attention, particularly given the high-profile nature of the individuals she named, however Richardson and Mitchell remain sheltered.  Despite Virginia Roberts Giuffre's serious allegations against Bill Richardson and George Mitchell, both men have largely avoided the intense scrutiny and accountability that some other figures connected to Jeffrey Epstein's network faced. This disparity in attention and accountability raises questions about the role of the media and political connections in shaping public perception and legal outcomes.Bill Richardson and George Mitchell have consistently denied Giuffre's allegations, and there have been no formal charges or legal actions taken against them based on these claims. While both have faced some media coverage regarding the allegations, it has been relatively limited and quickly overshadowed by other news. Their denials and reputations as seasoned public servants might have contributed to the relatively muted response.The media's handling of the allegations against Richardson and Mitchell contrasts sharply with how Alex Acosta, the former U.S. Attorney and Labor Secretary, was scrutinized. Acosta came under intense media and public pressure due to his role in negotiating a controversial plea deal with Epstein in 2008, which was widely criticized for being overly lenient. The deal allowed Epstein to serve a relatively short jail sentence and granted immunity to potential co-conspirators, effectively shielding many of his associates from prosecution.Acosta's connection to Epstein and the perceived leniency of the plea deal led to widespread outrage, culminating in his resignation as Labor Secretary in 2019. The intense scrutiny of Acosta's actions highlighted the inconsistencies in how different figures connected to Epstein were treated by the media and the public.Richardson and Mitchell's relatively protected status can be partly attributed to their longstanding relationships with influential figures and institutions. Both men have extensive political careers and connections within the legacy media, which may have contributed to the subdued coverage of the allegations against them. Media outlets, influenced by these connections, may have been less inclined to pursue aggressive investigations or critical reporting on Richardson and Mitchell compared to Acosta.The disparity in scrutiny reflects broader issues of power and influence in both the media and the justice system. Prominent individuals with substantial political clout and media connections often navigate allegations differently than those with less influence. This disparity can lead to unequal accountability, where some individuals face significant consequences while others remain relatively unscathed.While Richardson and Mitchell have not faced the same level of accountability, the ongoing legal battles and investigations into Epstein's network continue to reveal the complexity and reach of his operations. Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction and the attention on Epstein's other associates maintain a spotlight on the broader issue of sex trafficking and the complicity of powerful individuals.However, without consistent and thorough scrutiny from both the media and the justice system, the full extent of accountability for all involved remains elusive. This situation underscores the importance of equal and unbiased investigative journalism and legal proceedings in addressing allegations of this nature.(commercial at 11:21)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Richardson and George Mitchell deny allegations by alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This situation underscores the importance of equal and unbiased investigative journalism and legal proceedings in addressing allegations of this nature.Jeffrey Epstein orchestrated a sophisticated network of enablers, including attorneys Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, who played pivotal roles in managing his vast financial empire and shielding his illicit activities. Indyke, Epstein's long-time lawyer, and Kahn, his accountant, were integral in maintaining the complex web of shell companies, trusts, and offshore accounts that facilitated both the accumulation of Epstein's wealth and the concealment of his criminal endeavors. Their positions granted them insight into Epstein's dealings, raising questions about the extent of their complicity in enabling his sex trafficking operation. Despite public scrutiny following Epstein's death, both men continued to serve as executors of his estate, a role that further underscores their deep entrenchment in the infrastructure Epstein built to sustain his predatory lifestyle and evade accountability.source:Bill Richardson and George Mitchell deny allegations by alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim | Daily Mail Online

She was the first female cabinet secretary, but secretly, out of the spotlight, Frances Perkins also saved countless lives during World War II. Author Rebecca Brenner Graham shares incredible stories from her new book, Dear Miss Perkins, which showcases the letters of people who wrote to Perkins, desperate for her help to escape Nazi Germany. As the longest-serving Labor Secretary, Perkins stared down personal attacks and fierce opposition to do what she knew was right: making quick decisions that would protect those at a time when many turned their backs.

Our book is: Dear Miss Perkins: A Story of Frances Perkins's Efforts To Aid Refugees from Nazi Germany (Citadel Press, 2025)  by Dr. Rebecca Brenner Graham, which is an inspiring new narrative of the first woman to serve in a president's cabinet, the longest-serving Labor Secretary, and an architect of the New Deal. In March 1933, at the height of the Great Depression, Frances Perkins was appointed Secretary of Labor by FDR. As Hitler rose to power, thousands of German-Jewish refugees and their loved ones reached out to the INS—then part of the Department of Labor—applying for immigration to the United States, writing letters that began “Dear Miss Perkins . . .” Perkins's early experiences working in Chicago's famed Hull House and as a firsthand witness to the horrific Triangle Shirtwaist fire shaped her determination to advocate for immigrants and refugees. As Secretary of Labor, she wrestled widespread antisemitism and isolationism, finding creative ways to work around quotas and restrictive immigration laws. Diligent, resilient, empathetic, yet steadfast, she persisted on behalf of the desperate when others refused to act.

30 years ago, in 1994, then-US Labor Secretary Robert Reich issued a prescient warning to all Americans: “We are on the way to becoming a two-tiered society.” Reich also predicted that, as wealth inequality continued to explode in the US, working people would be consumed by righteous populist rage that could be easily manipulated; the rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement decades later proved Reich to be devastatingly right. In this special livestreamed edition of Inequality Watch, Taya Graham and Stephen Janis continue their deep dive into the history and political repercussions of our historic wealth imbalance by talking to Robert Reich himself. In this wide-ranging discussion, the former Labor Secretary explains how wealthy oligarchs have bought off our democracy, profited from dividing us, and smothered serious efforts to mitigate the climate crisis as well as popular progressive policies like universal healthcare and affordable housing.Production: Stephen Janis, Taya GrahamStudio Production: David Hebden, Cameron GranadinoWritten by: Stephen JanisHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the so-called January 6th case against President-Elect Trump at the request of the rouge Special Counsel Jack Smith. The Jack Smith Florida case is about to be dismissed and the State cases will eventually die. The Democrats have failed in their goal to take out Trump because of you! Also, Lori Chavez-DeRemer's appointment as Labor Secretary is troubling. She has opposed right to work, and Randi Weingarten was very excited about her. Yes, Trump should get the nominees he wants. If they don't work out - he'll fire them. Later, Ukraine is trying to defend itself; they didn't start this war. They gave up their nuclear weapons in 1994. In return, they got an agreement that Russia, the United States, and Britain would defend Ukraine against its enemies. They gave up their nukes then Putin killed his way to power and ripped up the agreement. The idea that Ukraine is going to start World War 3 is ridiculous. Afterward, the federal government can cut funding off from a city or state that defies federal law. Tom Homan and company can cut off sanctuary city and state federal funding if need be. Finally, Professor Steven Calabresi calls in to discuss his new book, The Meese Revolution: The Making of a Constitutional Moment. It's a fantastic book about the former attorney general's brilliant and courageous revolution to reinstitute the Constitution in our legal and justice system.  Order Steven's book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Meese-Revolution-Making-Constitutional-Moment/dp/1641774290/ Learn more about your ad choices.

On Friday, President-elect Donald Trump named Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR) as his nominee for Labor secretary. Chavez-DeRemer, who narrowly lost her bid for re-election to the House, is considered one of the most pro-union Republicans in Congress, and her nomination serves as another signal that the GOP's historically adversarial stance toward unions may be changing.Ad-free podcasts are here!Many listeners have been asking for an ad-free version of this podcast that they could subscribe to — and we finally launched it.

In this special episode of Good Morning Liberty, host Nate Thurston tackles a Tuesday edition of 'Dumb Bleep of the Week' due to the upcoming Thanksgiving break. With the usual co-host Charlie Thompson absent, Nate dives into recent climate news, including an appearance from Neil deGrasse Tyson on the Bill Maher show, discussing misinformation and media bias. He highlights the incoherence of Neil deGrasse Tyson's statements on scientific objectivity in social issues and shares his disapproval of California's exclusion of Tesla from EV credits. Nate also critiques the media's claims about Twitter/X becoming a right-wing echo chamber, Joe Walsh's take on Ukraine/Russia, and tariffs proposed by Donald Trump. Finally, Nate shares insights on a new university prioritizing merit over diversity, the U.S. Labor Secretary pick, and concludes with a preview for Thanksgiving dinner costs.
