Podcasts about Left

Something strange is going on in northeastern Utah, and this week on Last Update on the Left, the boys head deep into the mysteries of Skinwalker Ranch. From its infamous former owners and the bizarre phenomena that drove them out, to the current stewards and the reality shows that helped turn the ranch into a paranormal lightning rod, we're breakin' down what's actually known - versus what's been sensationalized this week on Last Update!

1. New Year’s Resolutions The first part of the discussion is lighthearted and personal. Both hosts share their resolutions for 2026: Ted Cruz’s resolutions: Lose 30 pounds (from 236 lbs to 206 lbs) through diet and exercise. Complete a “Dry January” (no alcohol for the month). Read the Bible daily throughout the year. Ben Ferguson’s resolutions: Focus on building muscle after significant weight loss (from 298 lbs to 209 lbs). Commit to reading the Bible daily alongside Cruz. They also reflect on family life, parenting, and the emotional challenges of children growing up and leaving home. 2. Minnesota Shooting, Riots & Fraud The second part shifts to a serious political discussion: Incident in Minnesota: A woman allegedly tried to run over an ICE agent with her SUV and was fatally shot. The hosts argue that the Left is politicizing the event, portraying the woman as a victim, and using the situation to attack law enforcement. Rhetoric and Violence: They criticize Democratic leaders for inflammatory language, claiming it encourages violence against ICE and law enforcement. Examples include: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey telling ICE to “get out” of the city. Governor Tim Walz suggesting Minnesota is “at war” with the federal government. Fraud Scandal: They discuss a massive Somali-related fraud in Minnesota, allegedly involving $9 billion in taxpayer funds across multiple sectors (childcare, transportation, etc.). The conversation frames this as deliberate Democratic corruption tied to immigration policies and vote-buying. Law Enforcement Advice: Practical tips for interacting safely with police during traffic stops are shared, emphasizing respect and de-escalation. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Candace Owens's daily livestreams have more viewers than Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC combined. The woman who less than a decade ago was a liberal blogger in New York City is now one of the most powerful voices representing — and tearing apart — the American Right. Her latest and most successful act is that of a professional conspiracy theorist, spinning webs around Brigitte Macron's gender, Charlie Kirk's assassination, and of course, The Jews. Millions of people who've self-admittedly “never agreed with Candace” are finding themselves in her clutches. Today, fellow Connecticut native Taylor Lorenz and I take a trip into Candaceland to try to decipher why Candace is the way she is and what the Right may look like after Trump.

 This episode dives into the heated clashes over immigration enforcement and media narratives in the wake of the fatal January 7, 2026, ICE shooting in Minneapolis, where a 37 year old mother of three, Renee Nicole Good, was killed by an agent during an operation. Federal officials claim the shooting was justified self-defense after she allegedly drove toward officers, while Minnesota leaders including Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey dispute the account, demand accountability, and criticize the broader crackdown. The incident sparked immediate protests in Minneapolis (with clashes involving snowballs and police pullbacks), vigils, and solidarity demonstrations in cities like New York City, where the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) organized marches demanding an end to ICE operations—highlighting claims of orchestrated chaos by the left.Dan Bongino fires back at the "Black Pill crowd" in a fiery segment, refusing to let pessimists, grifters, and division-stokers hijack the movement he helped build. The show also connects these tensions to broader media bias, spotlighting how legacy outlets may downplay or frame stories like the ongoing Minnesota welfare/child-care fraud scandal (with federal charges against dozens, convictions mounting, and estimates reaching potentially billions in misused funds.Join guests Judd Saul, founder of Equipping the Persecuted and Truth Nigeria, for an in-depth look at the escalating persecution of Christians in Nigeria including recent coordinated attacks killing dozens in early 2026 and calls for stronger U.S. and international intervention. Then, Sam Anthony, founder and CEO of YourNews.com, discusses building a decentralized, citizen powered media platform to counter censorship and bias, with real time insights into covering fast-moving crises like Minnesota's ICE fallout and fraud investigations. Tune in for unfiltered truth, advocacy, and the fight against division!

It's Friday, January 9th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nayereh Arjaneh, a Christian convert living in Iran, began serving a five-year prison term on December 23 because of her faith, reports International Christian Concern. Christian converts are often targets of imprisonment, false accusations, mistreatment, and torture under the Iranian regime, with hundreds of Christ followers targeted by Iranian authorities in 2025 alone. Arjaneh and her husband, Qasem, were arrested on July 7, 2025, after they attended a Christian training event in Turkey. She was initially released on bail and later convicted of “promoting deviant propaganda and teachings contrary to Islamic law” and “providing financial and material support to groups affiliated with Zionist Christianity.” Senate restricts Trump from future strikes on Venezuela Here in America, the U.S. Senate has passed a war powers resolution, which would limit President Donald Trump's ability to conduct further strikes in Venezuela, reports NewsNation.com. Five Republicans voted with Democrats to pass the resolution including Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Todd Young of Indiana, and Josh Hawley of Missouri. The legislation will require Trump to get approval from Congress before conducting any strikes on Venezuela. Democrats have previously failed to pass resolutions limiting the president's ability to strike alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean and the Pacific. The move comes after a surprise strike on Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Congress was not notified of the mission in advance, breaking from tradition. While only Congress has the power to declare war, presidents have used broad authority to act unilaterally in the absence of a formal declaration of war. The last time the U.S. formally declared war was World War II. Devastating admission by lesbian lover after ICE shooting Wednesday's fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minnesota has brought even more national attention to arrest and deportation efforts, reports The Western Journal. Media members and the public alike took to dissecting Wednesday's footage of Good's altercation with ICE as she tried to stop officers from doing their jobs, parked her car in the street, refused to move it, and threatened to run over an officer. Good's last moments as she tried to drive into an officer have been the subject of intense debate as to what her intentions actually were, but another telling moment from her lesbian lover reveals why she was trying to stop ICE in the first place. In the immediate aftermath, Good's faux wife, was heard saying, “I made her come down here; it's my fault. They just shot my wife,” according to the New York Post. Samuel Short of The Western Journal wrote, “Left-wing media outlets consistently refuse to look at the entire story when a fatal shooting takes place involving law enforcement. In this instance, Renee Good's [faux] “wife” brought her out to do this. Good was a problem for ICE that day already as she refused to comply with officers who told her to get out of her car. Good put her foot on the gas despite the fact an agent was standing in front of her vehicle. “She put herself in a dangerous position, stopping armed federal officers from arresting dangerous people.” J.D. Vance: Woman ICE killed tried to run them over In a White House briefing, Vice President J.D. Vance put the press, which defended Renee Good, in its place. Listen. VANCE: “What's going on here? You guys are meant to report the truth. How have you let yourself become agents of propaganda of a radical fringe that's making it harder for us to enforce our laws? “You just asked me a question that presumed that the reason why this woman died is because she was engaged in legitimate protest. She tried to run somebody over with her car, and the guy defended himself when that happened.” The Department of Homeland Security reported a 1,154 percent increase in assaults on officers in November. That's not to mention deadly shootings targeting ICE detention centers. House Republicans reject Trump's call to be “flexible” on Hyde Amendment Most House Republicans appear to uphold the party's longstanding principle against allocating taxpayer funds for abortion, despite President Donald Trump's call for them to be “flexible” on it, reports LifeNews.com. As President Trump laid out a game plan for Republicans to win on the healthcare issue in 2026, he said, “You have to be a little flexible on Hyde.” TRUMP: “Now you have to be a little flexible on [the] Hyde [Amendment]. You know that you got to be a little flexible. You got to work something.” House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, who spoke at the March For Life in 2025, said, “We're not going to authorize taxpayer funding for abortion. I mean, it's been a consistent policy. We are not going to change the standard that has been, frankly, bipartisan up until recent days. … I'm just not going to allow that to happen.” The Hyde Amendment is named after the late Republican Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois whose 1976 amendment to a health funding bill prohibited funding for abortions “except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term.” Since then, Hyde provisions have been a non-negotiable item for Republicans in funding bills. Republican Rep. Mark Harris of North Carolina told The Daily Signal, “All the folks I hear from are very committed to Hyde.” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, a Roman Catholic who chairs the House Pro-Life Caucus, also rejected the idea of finding middle-ground on the issue. He told reporters, “There's no flexibility. You're either using public funds to pay for abortion or you're not.” And appearing on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins, Republican Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma said this. LANKFORD: “I'm not flexible on the value of every single child. Every single child is valuable. There aren't some children that are disposable and some children that are valuable. Every child is valuable.” Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Baltimore Ravens rookie kicker turns to Bible after missing field goal And finally, after missing a crucial field goal in the final moments of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens rookie kicker Tyler Loop pointed probing reporters to Scripture, reports FaithWire.com. There's no doubt Loop was discouraged; he immediately buried his face in his hands after the failed kick. But once he was in the locker room, he opened up about how his personal devotional time — and one passage in particular — comforted him. Tyler told sports journalists, “I had written down a little prayer before the game and [I was] just re-reading it. Faith is a big part of my life and, right now, I'm reading the book of Romans. In Romans 8, it says, ‘God works for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.'” The pro-athlete was referencing Romans 8:28. In that verse, the Apostle Paul spoke directly to Christians, encouraging those who have found salvation through Jesus with the promise that — for them — all things will work out for their good. The verse says, “And we know that, for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, January 9th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Much of your legacy media is discussing the events of the last day in Minnesota. But not the story out of Minnesota they should be telling. They're talking about an activist killed in her car by an ICE agent. What they hope to not want to discuss is 24 hours prior their state's governor dropped out of politics over a huge, multi-billion dollar taxpayer money theft by illegal aliens and foreign governments. Stigall ties the stories together to give you what he calls "the kamikaze liberal." And it's not just money fraud, it's voter fraud, too. Scott Pressler from Early Vote Action is encouraging everyone to dial up their senator and demand action on the SAVE act. Dr. Micael Schwarz stops by to react to the vastly scaled down version of the child vax schedule for kids courtesy of RFK Jr. And from Venezuela, to Russia, and from China to Greenland - Dr. Sebastian Gorka returns to the show to explain why President Trump's foreign policy is not simply fast, but visionary and unapologetic. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

War Room Left's ‘ICE Kills Innocent Woman' Narrative Crumbles, As Facts Behind Minneapolis Shooting Emerge! PLUS, JD Vance Announces New DOJ Office for Investigating and Prosecuting Fraud Nationwide

The gang wanted to hear the rebuttal to the "leftist" defense of Trump's unconstitutional military action in Venezuela and Jason is ridiculous--don't let him infect your algorithm! (lol)

Send me a Text Message!In this episode, Mike and Angie slow everything down and begin telling the story that lives underneath their work, their marriage, and their mission. Before the breakthroughs, before the rebuilding, before Inner Wealth, there was conditioning, trauma, and survival. This conversation sets the foundation for a ten-part series by going back to childhood, early relationship dynamics, and the patterns that quietly shaped sixteen years of volatility. This isn't about resolution yet. It's about truth, context, and understanding what had to break before anything could be rebuilt.Key Takeaways1. The Relationship Was Built on Unconscious Survival Both Mike and Angie entered the relationship carrying unexamined trauma that shaped how they loved, fought, and stayed.2. Childhood Conditioning Never Stays in the Past What isn't healed early gets reenacted later, especially inside intimate partnerships.3. Toxic Patterns Can Look Like Love Control, volatility, fixing, and emotional intensity often masquerade as connection when safety is missing.4. The Collapse Was Inevitable — and Necessary The unraveling wasn't failure. It was the interruption that made healing possible.5. Awareness Is the First Real Shift Nothing changed until responsibility replaced blame and curiosity replaced defense.Notable Quotes“We officially begin today, but that we introduced last week, talking about our life together, our collapse, our rebirth, the cleanup, the mess.”“That toxicity kept building over the course of sixteen years.”“We just carry that forward. It's all conditioning and programming.”“It felt like my entire life was being ripped away from me. I just wanted to die.”“It's not Mike against Angie anymore. It's Mike and Angie against the problem.”Call to Action

Josh opens the show by breaking down the shooting in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent shot a "queer activist" during an enforcement operation.

Guest: Joseph Sternberg. In Europe, France faces continued political paralysis that may require a decisive election between the right and left, whereas Germany's center-right government under Chancellor Merz is reclaiming the initiative by addressing immigration and economic growth. Meanwhile, Japan's move to normalize interest rates could trigger a massive repatriation of capital that impacts global markets, while in the UK, Prime Minister Starmer faces a difficult year of economic stagnation, surviving largely because there is no clear alternative to his leadership.October 18701

Over the past year, Democrats have learned to embrace economic abundance thanks to Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's bestselling book. But is this the same kind of abundance the Left has traditionally argued for? In this episode of Confronting Capitalism, Vivek Chibber is joined by Matt Huber, co-author alongside Fred Stafford and Leigh Phillips of a new Catalyst essay titled “The Left Has Always Fought for Abundance.” Together, they discuss the need for an energy infrastructure build out, the historic origins of stagnant state capacity, and what socialist abundance entails.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I'm joined by the dynamic Neelu Kaur, organizational psychologist, self-advocacy champion, author, and keynote speaker. Neelu dispels the myth that self-advocacy is boastful, and we discuss how advocating for yourself can actually be a generous and empowering act. She shares how leaders and teams can create environments where all voices are heard, exploring the innovative concept of "generous exclusion," and the importance of dialing up the "I" or the "we" when the moment calls for it. Neelu also suggests some great practical strategies for promoting authentic self-advocacy in any organization. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why self-advocacy is often misunderstood as boastful and how to reframe it as essential for innovation What "generous exclusion" means, and how being intentional about who participates can lead to more creative outcomes How different processing styles impact participation in meetings, and what leaders can do to create safer spaces for all voices Why structure is necessary for big, creative thinking, and how frameworks borrowed from organizations like Disney help teams brainstorm and dream without self-censoring Understanding what energizes individuals creates a more productive, collaborative environment What practical steps you can take to build self-advocacy skills How Speaking Up Transforms Teams and Unlocks Personal Potential So many people, particularly women, introverts, or those from cultures that value humility, see self-advocacy as something selfish or boastful. Neelu turns this assumption on its head, describing self-advocacy as the most generous act you can do. By speaking up, you model positive behaviors for others, making it easier for those who follow in your footsteps to do the same. When you advocate for yourself, whether it's sharing an idea in a meeting or negotiating your role, you're not just advancing your own interests. You're opening doors, encouraging diversity of thought, and paving the way for colleagues who may face similar barriers. The Barriers to Speaking Up and How to Overcome Them For years, Neelu thought her professional setbacks stemmed from a lack of skills, but she realized she just hadn't learned to advocate for her ideas. Her silence was frequently misread as disengagement, and fast-paced meetings left her behind. To overcome the hurdle of seeing speaking up as boastful, she recommends self-reflection and practical steps, such as practicing self-advocacy in low-stakes situations, like choosing a restaurant for dinner with friends. Leaders and organizations also need to adjust by building meeting structures that allow quieter voices to contribute and encouraging follow-up dialogue beyond real-time meetings. Are We Over-Indexing on Collaboration? Collaboration is praised as the ideal. But as we discuss, simply adding more people to a meeting doesn't guarantee creativity—or even productivity. Neelu highlights the concept of "generous exclusion" by Priya Parker, sharing why being selective about who joins which meetings lets people focus, minimizes inefficiencies, and leaves room for deep work. Organizations often over-index on collaboration, with endless group meetings that crowd out the time needed for innovation. Instead, leaders need to be strategic, invite the right mix of creative minds, give space for diverse strengths, and allow those who need extra processing time to contribute asynchronously.

David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles to explain why Trump's move in Venezuela looks less like foreign policy and more like a heist. Rothkopf walks through the rushed effort to topple Maduro, the boastful talk about “running” Venezuela, and the alarming reality that there was no plan for what came next — who governs, who controls the oil, or how any of it ends. Together, they examine what Rothkopf calls Trump's “mafia doctrine”: kidnap the leader, seize the resources, ignore the law, and dare the world to respond. It's chaotic, risky, and deeply consequential — for Venezuela, for America, and for everyone watching what comes next. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! On this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we step inside the vast, echoing halls of Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum—a place where history and hauntings collide in unsettling ways. Once a cutting-edge hospital for mental health treatment, the asylum later became overcrowded, chaotic, and steeped in suffering. Joining us is Brandi Butcher, Paranormal Event Manager at the asylum, who guides us through more than 160 years of chilling stories. From Civil War raids and whispers of hidden gold to experimental treatments and personal tragedies, the building has absorbed generations of pain, hope, and unrest. Today, visitors and investigators report shadow figures, unexplained voices, and an energy that refuses to fade. Is it residual trauma locked into the walls—or something far more aware? Walk with us through one of America's most infamous institutions and discover why the spirits of Trans-Allegheny may still be checking in… long after release was supposed to come. This is Part Two of our conversation.  #TransAlleghenyAsylum #HauntedAsylum #TheGraveTalks #ParanormalPodcast  #HauntedWestVirginia #AsylumGhosts #TrueGhostStories  #HauntedHistory #ParanormalInvestigation #RealHauntings  Love real ghost stories?

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 Tuesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers political fallout from Minnesota's massive Medicaid fraud scandal, disciplinary action against Senator Mark Kelly for seditious conduct, explosive courtroom revelations from Nicolás Maduro's arraignment, rising global instability tied to Trump's Venezuela decision, and new intelligence warnings involving China, Iran, Germany, and America's food supply. He closes with encouraging medical research on immune health and cancer prevention. Tim Walz Forced Out as Minnesota Fraud Probe Explodes: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he is dropping his reelection bid after becoming a liability to Democrats over the nine billion dollar Somali Medicaid fraud scandal. Federal investigators are now probing what Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison knew and when, after state whistleblowers warned in 2018 that fraud at Feeding Our Future was obvious before any money was paid. Despite those warnings, hundreds of millions flowed to Somali nonprofits that later donated to Democratic campaigns. Prosecutors admit the fraud is so widespread that many participants may never face charges due to limited resources. Hilton Refuses to House DHS and ICE Officers: A Hilton franchise owner in Minneapolis refused rooms to DHS and ICE agents participating in an immigration crackdown, saying the hotel would not assist deportations. Corporate Hilton had not responded at the time of recording. Bryan urges listeners to remember this incident when choosing where to spend their travel dollars. Mark Kelly Punished for Seditious Conduct: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reduced Senator Mark Kelly's military retirement rank and pay after Kelly called on service members to refuse illegal orders from President Trump but could not identify any such orders. Hegseth said Kelly's actions constituted reckless misconduct and confirmed investigators are evaluating whether Kelly could be recalled to active duty for prosecution under military law. Maduro Pleads Not Guilty as Indictment Stuns: Former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro pleaded not guilty in Manhattan, declaring himself innocent and still the legitimate leader of Venezuela. Federal prosecutors released a detailed indictment outlining twenty-five years of cocaine trafficking, kidnappings, beatings, and murders ordered by Maduro and his family. His vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, vowed to resist the United States and declared Maduro a hostage, while Marxist guerrilla groups threatened attacks on Americans. Trump's Venezuela Decision Sends Shockwaves: The Wall Street Journal reports that President Trump repeatedly tried to negotiate Maduro's peaceful exit before losing patience after public taunts. His decision to authorize the capture has rattled regimes worldwide, including Iran. Reuters reports Iranian officials now fear Trump will act decisively if protests escalate, prompting the Ayatollah to quietly prepare escape plans to Russia along with billions in assets. China's Espionage Footprint Near U.S. Bases: A Chinese intelligence-linked individual owns two golf courses near Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, home to America's nuclear bomber force. Chinese media openly described the courses as networking hubs for U.S. political and business elites. Bryan warns that such properties create serious espionage and sabotage risks, similar to a Chinese-owned trailer park near Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Threats to America's Food Supply: A new screwworm outbreak in Mexico threatens U.S. cattle just as Brazil reduces its breeding herd and America's cattle numbers hit historic lows. Bryan warns beef prices are likely to remain high for several years and advises listeners to stock freezers when possible. Left Wing Terrorism Returns in Germany: German officials warn left-wing terrorism is intensifying after radicals sabotaged power infrastructure in Berlin and Brandenburg, cutting electricity to forty-five thousand people. The attackers vowed to escalate assaults on oil and gas infrastructure nationwide. Promising Medical Research: German researchers found that supplementing with 1,000 milligrams of Urolithin A for 28 days significantly rejuvenated aging immune systems by restoring mitochondrial function. UK scientists also reported that ten minutes of intense daily exercise can slow or reverse colon cancer growth by triggering DNA repair and reducing inflammation.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 6 Wright Report, Tim Walz Medicaid fraud Minnesota, Feeding Our Future whistleblower Ellison, Hilton refuses ICE DHS rooms, Mark Kelly retirement demotion Hegseth, Maduro indictment Manhattan drug trafficking, Delcy Rodríguez resistance, Trump Venezuela decision global impact, China espionage Barksdale Air Force Base, screwworm outbreak beef prices, Germany left wing terrorism infrastructure attack, Urolithin A immune system study, exercise colon cancer DNA repair

#681 Bad title - Great book

It's Tuesday, January 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims killed 32 Christians since Christmas Killings of Christians continue unabated in Nigeria, reports TruthNigeria.com. Islamist terrorists have killed at least 32 Christians since Christmas, and burned down hundreds of homes in the Adamawa, Kebbi, and Plateau states. Congressman asserts Nigerian Christians targeted for their faith On January 1st, Republican U.S. Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia weighed in on X. He wrote, “If there were any remaining doubts that Christians in Nigeria are being targeted for their faith in Jesus Christ, this should end that debate.  This isn't about land usage, ‘climate change,' or any other argument the Left wants to make. “This is persecution of our brothers and sisters for their faith in Christ, plain and simple. ISIS is telling Christians they have an opportunity to ‘spare their blood' if they convert. Our brothers and sisters will not bend the knee to anyone but our Lord and Savior.” Also, late last week, the Islamic-supported Allied Democratic Forces carried out a deadly nighttime incursion, killing at least 15 people in the Lubero territory of Congo, Africa. 20 Iranians have died in protests in 78 cities Iranian protests enter Day 9 where at least 20 people have died in the unrest. Protests have been cited in 78 cities across 26 provinces, reports Iran International.  According to The Times on Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader has a backup plan in place — to abscond to Russia should his security forces fail. North Korea shot hypersonic missiles Sunday North Korea successfully fired off several hypersonic missiles on Sunday, connecting with targets 700 miles away in Korea's East Sea. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un called it a “very important strategic task to maintain and expand a powerful and reliable nuclear deterrent.”  Back in 2019, China deployed hypersonic technology. But the United States has yet to deploy its hypersonic technology — it is still in the testing phase.  Number of foreigners in Austria, Belgium and UK skyrocketing Remix News reports that over 41% of the population of Vienna, Austria's capital, is foreign born. And 50 percent of first-graders do not understand German. Also, Muslim students now account for 41.2 percent of all elementary school students, while Christian students fell to 34.5 percent. Plus, Austria, Belgium, and the United Kingdom have the highest percentages of babies born to immigrants — above 30%. Venezuelan dictator and wife plead not guilty The Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, both arrested by the U.S. government over the weekend, appeared in a New York City Court Monday to face charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy. and weapons offenses. They entered pleas of innocence to the charges. Psalm 37:9 is clear: “Evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the Earth.” China financed $60 billion loans to Venezuela Come to find out China has been a major player in Venezuela since 2000. The Council on Foreign Relations reports that Venezuela ate up $60 billion of Chinese loans accounting for fully half of all the money that China loaned to South America over the years. And China has been taking in about 80% of Venezuelan oil exports of late. Rubio objects to Iran, China, & Russia propping up Venezuela Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio objected to America's enemies propping up Venezuela in America's backyard. Listen. RUBIO: “We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of oil in the United States. What we're not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled by adversaries of the United States. You have to understand. Why does China need their oil? Why does Russia need their oil? Why does Iran need their oil? They're not even in this continent. “This is the Western Hemisphere. This is where we live, and we're not going to allow the western hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors and rivals of the United States. We want to see the oil proceeds of that country benefit the people of Venezuela. “Why have 8 million people left Venezuela? Eight million: the single largest mass migration probably in modern history, left Venezuela in 2014 because all the wealth of that country was stolen to the benefit of Maduro and his cronies in the regime, but not to the benefit of people of Venezuela. You know how destabilizing 8 million migrants is? “The number one fear that Brazil has, that Colombia has, that all these countries in the region have about what's happening in Venezuela and our involvement is they're afraid of another mass migration event. That's what they feel. This is deeply destabilizing stuff. ”It's not going to continue to happen. They are not going to come from outside of our hemisphere, destabilize our region in our own backyard, and us have to pay the price for it, not under President Trump.” Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Uruguay & Spain upset about Maduro The governments of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain have issued a statement airing their disagreement with the U.S. military actions taken against Venezuela over the weekend.   The statement appealed to what they called the “principles of the United Nations Charter.” Trump upset that drug cartels are running Mexico and Columbia President Donald Trump has also told the U.S. press that something has to be done with Mexico. He told Fox News that the  drug cartels are running the country.  Plus, he called Columbia a “sick country” run by a “sick” president who “likes to sell Cocaine to the United States.” Trump said he's not going to be doing this very long.   And the president said, “Cuba is ready to fall” as well.  But let us all remember Who rules. Psalm 22:28-29 says, “For the kingdom is the Lord's, and He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the Earth shall eat and worship; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep himself alive.” Dallas street preachers handcuffed and detained without cause Here in America, street preachers connected with a “Reformed Baptist evangelistic ministry, [Testimonies of God], committed to the supremacy of Scripture and the advancement of Christ's Gospel,” were handcuffed and detained by police officers in Dallas a few weeks ago. The Christian Post reports that an officer had required the evangelists to get off the public sidewalk and cross the street — an order the preachers believed was unlawful. So far, no charges have been filed in the case. 15 states still allow trans surgeries and drugs for kids Two hospitals in left-wing Colorado have decided to stop writing prescriptions for sex-change drugs for children, reports 9-News. Children's Hospital and Denver Health have cited warnings from the U.S. Health and Human Services Department. Colorado was the faux-sex-change capital of the world in the 1980s and 1990s.   Sadly, 15 states still allow gender-based mutilation or gender-debilitating drugs for kids including Colorado, California, Oregon, Illinois, and New York. Japanese restaurant paid $3.24 million for bluefin tuna And finally, a Japanese sushi chain set a record for the price paid for a fish yesterday.  The Japan Times reports that Sushi Zanmai paid $3.24 million for a Pacific bluefin tuna at Tokyo's fish auction. That's an astounding $6,600 per pound!

New year, new attitude. Glenn kicks off the new year by discussing how America will respond to other countries adopting fascist global governments. We are in the fourth industrial revolution, and whoever gets to AI first will decide how the future will pan out. So how do Trump's latest moves on Venezuela and the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro fit into that? Glenn breaks down the different reasons people say Trump went after Venezuela and how they all fit into a bigger picture. Glenn lays out how Trump's latest moves are America First, despite what the Left and some on the Right are saying. Did President Trump have the constitutional right to bomb another country's capital and arrest its president? Glenn reacts to Secretary of State Marco Rubio's defense of Trump's Venezuela actions during an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation." One of the biggest stories over the holiday was the massive Somali fraud scandal that was exposed in Minnesota. Glenn and Stu discuss some of the changes that Torch is bringing to Glenn's radio show and some of the exclusive content that's coming to Torch.  Learn more about your ad choices.
