What do we have this hour? A whole lotta me, and I'm going to do what I always do which is to entertain you with the stupid idiocy of the Left.Elon Musk…richest man in the world.He's approaching King Solomon's wealth. The Bible states Solomon received 666 talents of gold per year (roughly 25 tons). At current gold prices, this equates to $1–1.6 billion annually in gold alone (older estimates used lower prices like $240 million–$1.1 billion). biblestudy.org Reign length: Over 40 years, plus additional revenues from trade (e.g., ships returning every three years with gold, ivory, etc.), tributes from vassal states, taxes from districts, and gifts (like from the Queen of Sheba). Total wealth: Factoring in accumulated reserves, control of trade routes, vast building projects (Temple and palace), and the kingdom's overall economy, sources converge on ~$2.1–2.2 trillion as a common figure. Some range it to $2–3 trillion. vocal.mediaAnother segment where I show you Leftism at work, which means it fails. That was a trick. Leftists don't work, Silly!Leftism is LA-ZY!Trump is the KING of workarounds. Democrats try their skullduggery, and Trump kick ‘em where it hurts.How frustrating it is for Democrats to try so hard to stop Trump and he just gets more powerful!I see why they are INSANE and want to attack anything MAGA.Have you seen MAGA people fighting back? Literally knocking Leftists out.ALL OVER THE WORLD.The world is getting Trumpified!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nothing says ‘we defeated the racism' like requesting a W-9” from the white supremacist you just hired.What a story. Allegations reported in a lawsuit and summarized in reporting by Just the News show that when they SPLC was approached by a former white nationalist who wanted out of the movement, they hired him. The dude declared that the SPLC had won.Dude went to the KKK and declared, “I'm done. I would like to return this ideology. Please process my refund.”When he told the SPLC, they said, “Can we get you to reconsider?!”Now pause right there, because in normal reality, that is what we call a win.That's the moment you spike the football, ring the bell, and maybe even send the guy a fruit basket that says “Congratulations on your life upgrade.”But instead, the allegation says the system looked at that and said something closer to:“Wait… don't go anywhere.”And this is where it gets almost poetic in its dysfunction.Because the story isn't just “they didn't celebrate the exit.”The allegation is that they allegedly turned the exit into a job opportunity.Which is a very modern kind of American efficiency.Other organizations try to solve problems.This one allegedly offers the problem a consulting contract.Think about the psychological elegance of it.A man says, “I want out of extremism.”And the response is, “Great news. We've upgraded you to ‘ongoing engagement.'”That's not de-radicalization.That's corporate retention strategy with a morality badge on it.Somewhere between HR onboarding and Batman hiring the Joker as a “special advisor on chaos mitigation.”And look, I understand incentives. Everybody understands incentives.But there is something uniquely American about building an entire moral industry and then discovering that moral success might accidentally threaten payroll stability.Because if fewer people are extremists… fewer grants get written.If fewer extremists exist… fewer conferences get hosted.And if fewer extremists exist… somebody in the back row has to ask the most terrifying question in modern nonprofit history:“So… what do we do next quarter?”And that is when ideology meets budget reality.Now, while that story is unfolding, we have another subplot playing out in Maine that feels like it was written by a committee that ran out of coffee and gave up halfway through proofreading.There is a Democratic candidate controversy involving a tattoo reportedly linked to Nazi imagery.And the reaction from parts of the political world has been less “deep concern” and more of a gentle shoulder shrug that says:“Well… have you seen the polling?”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome, Friends and Patriots!As always, today's show is packed with fresh Leftism. Not that freezer-burned stuff everybody's been reheating for weeks. No, sir. We source only the finest, freshest Leftist insanity available.Every morning I head down to the Leftism market and hand-select the choicest cuts. Then this crew goes to work.Most people see the headlines and call it news. We see raw ingredients. The other guys serve it straight out of the package. We slow-roast it, season it with irony, garnish it with hypocrisy, and turn it into a five-star audio feast. Do they give out Michelin stars for RADIO?!That's why you keep coming back.Brett and Dave are in the kitchen helping produce the show, while Danno jumps in wherever the recipe demands. They're my sous chefs in this culinary experiment known as modern politics.And trust me, today's menu does not disappoint.We've got outrage aged to perfection, hypocrisy smoked low and slow, and a Leftist special so absurd it practically plates itself.So grab a seat at the table.The feast begins now.St Louis is spitting out thugs like Jasmine Crockett and Karmelo Anthony.Karmelo AnthonyYou ever notice that Democrats have an uncanny ability to find the one person in every story they absolutely should not defend... and then defend him with the enthusiasm of a mother bear protecting her cub?Take the Karmelo Anthony case.The jury deliberated for less time than it takes Congress to rename a post office. They looked at the facts, looked at the evidence, and reached a conclusion that practically everybody knew was coming.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Still cooking up some fresh Leftism, and thanks for hanging in there.We have covered a lot today, and we have a lot more to go. I spoke of Karmelo Anthony last hour, and I'm glad he's going to prison.I think his parents knew it, and that's why they didn't spend that GFM money on a good attorney.You can bet that the majority of Blacks in America do not side with Karmelo Anthony.https://x.com/CHIMPUSX/status/2064532058819457416Austin Metcalf's father was swatted 6 times.Austin Metcalf's mother was swatted 2 times.They had to keep all of this under a gag order.Remember the couple in St. Louis who brandished weapons when people were marching for BLM in St. Louis.Remember how much hell they were put through.And while we are on the subject of this hate group, listen as Congressman Chip Roy quizzes the CEO of the SPLC on whether he's listed any Islamic groups on hate, given their viws on LGBT:[X] SB – Chip Roy Interesting that the SPLC says it doesn't target religious groups, but it targeted many Christian groups, including Focus on the Family.Anybody think the SPLC will make Democrats a hate group, given they selected a Nazi?Maine NazisSpeaking of exceptions, Democrats have apparently decided that electoral desperation cures all moral concerns.Look at what's happening in Maine.For years we've been told that certain beliefs, associations, comments, and controversies make a candidate permanently disqualified from public life.We've been lectured endlessly.No second chances.No forgiveness.No nuance.No redemption.Then along comes a candidate Democrats desperately need.And suddenly we're watching political yoga routines that would make Cirque du Soleil jealous.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Leftism has reached the point where it cannot define itself by accomplishment, prosperity, security, freedom, patriotism, family, or even happiness. The only way to understand modern Leftism is to chronicle what it promotes. And once you make that list, you begin wondering whether you're reading a political platform or the side effects section of a pharmaceutical product.The deeper problem isn't any individual policy. It's that modern Leftism increasingly defines virtue as the inversion of common sense. If a border works, open them. If standards work, lower them. If merit works, reward mediocrity. If a tradition survives, dismantle it. If people succeed, punish them, then take credit for their achievements. Eventually the movement stops building things and becomes a demolition crew searching for its next wall to demolish.So what are our examples? Let's look at the SPLCWe have the SPLC PAYING FOR RACISM. A blind man can see the irony and hypocrisy of this on Jupiter and without a telescope.Nothing says ‘we defeated the racism' like requesting a W-9” from the white supremacist you just hired.What a story. Allegations reported in a lawsuit and summarized in reporting by Just the News show that when they SPLC was approached by a former white nationalist who wanted out of the movement, they hired him. The dude declared that the SPLC had won.Dude went to the KKK and declared, “I'm done. I would like to return this ideology.

And while regular Americans deal with this madness, city leaders keep acting confused about why businesses are fleeing.Did you hear that Portland business owner practically begging for help? [X] SB – Desperate Portland business ownerGroup of people will descend. Women breaking glass. Stabbing each other.Greedy capitalist!She and her husband can't even get basic police protection for their bar. Portland has become the world's first escape room designed by Marxists.People are leaving these cities in droves. Political refugees. Folks who spent years voting Democrat until reality mugged them in a parking garage.And this is the beautiful collision happening right now in America:Trump is showcasing conservatism at its strongest while Democrats showcase Leftism at its absolute craziest.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – A caller from the last hour spewed so much dumbassery that he lit up the text line and phone lines. But at the core of his silly accusations and assertions is an idea that fueled modern Leftism: a belief that America is bad and it should be taken down a few pegs. So, while caller Tony might not have been able to articulate a cogent argument, his view is pervasive on the political Left.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com

In 2026, fascism in the US is rising while “the left” descends further into powerlessness, goofiness, and irrelevance—but, author William C. Anderson argues, it doesn't have to stay that way.

Well, that Mosque shooting disappeared faster than cocaine at a Hunter Biden party.Seattle's Democratic Socialist Mayor is losing businesses like no where else. The Colombia Tower Club just closed after 40 years. Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go has closed all their stores. Jeff Bezos left, Howard Schultz founder of Starbucks left. Their capital gains tax collection is down 50%. Per Cushman Wakefield vacancies rates are 36.5 for commercial property. Pioneer square is at 50% vacancy. The Needle, Seattle's iconic structure is now a homeless encampment. Business are running from socialist ideas and sanctuary cities. At this pace tax rates will increase on those remaining. It's just a matter of time for the city to collapse. Fewer people to tax, fewer jobs, more homeless.[X] SB – Ad against TalaricoGod is non-binary6 sexesAmerican flag complicated signalStephen Colbert signs off from late night television, and the media acts like we just watched the first moon landing, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the Beatles reuniting all at once. “Historic ratings!” they cry. “A cultural moment!”Yeah? Let's talk about those numbers.Colbert's final show pulled 6.74 million viewers. And to be fair, that is a big number by today's standards. It was the highest-rated weeknight episode he ever had. Bigger than his premiere. Way above his recent average of around 2.7 million.But here's the problem. Context is undefeated.Johnny Carson's final show in 1992 pulled over 55 million viewers. Fifty-five million. That was when America still had fewer people and fewer TVs. Carson had a 62% audience share. Think about that. Six out of every ten televisions in America were tuned into one guy sitting behind a desk telling jokes.That's not a TV host. That's a national event.Jay Leno signed off with nearly 15 million viewers. David Letterman got almost 14 million. Colbert, meanwhile, needed every other late-night host to basically go dark and funnel their audience to him just to hit half of what Leno and Letterman did.And this was his BEST night, outside of his piggybacking on a Super Bowl one night.That's like a baseball player retiring with a .195 batting average and ESPN running graphics like Babe Ruth just left Yankee Stadium.What happened to late night?Simple. It stopped being funny and started becoming political group therapy.Johnny Carson made everybody laugh. Republicans, Democrats, people who didn't know who the Vice President was. Carson wasn't trying to “educate” America. He wasn't trying to save democracy between commercials for sleep medication and adult diapers. He just wanted to be funny.Colbert and these modern late-night guys? Entirely different business model.Every night became the same routine: Trump joke. Republican joke. Democracy is ending. Commercial break. Repeat until pharmaceutical side effects include “thoughts of self-harm.”At some point, late night stopped feeling like comedy and started feeling like being trapped at a dinner party with your angry NPR cousin who uses the phrase “lived experience” while borrowing money from his parents.And then you see the staff photo.Have you seen this thing? It looked less like a comedy show staff and more like a government agency. I heard estimates anywhere from 120 to nearly 200 people working on that show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Here's a headline that accidentally tells the truth about modern media, Leftism, and pop culture:“Porn star and Miami fan Abella Danger shown on ESPN again as she cries after watching Hurricanes lose national title.”That is not satire. That is not Babylon Bee. That is a real headline, written by real people, published without shame, and treated as legitimate cultural content.Let's start with the obvious. The fact that the words porn and star now sit together like old friends tells you how low the bar has sunk. We have redefined “stardom” to mean “someone filmed themselves having sex and didn't trip over the camera.” No achievement. No craft. No contribution. Just exposure, literally.I know. This is where the cultural hall monitors accuse me of sounding like the old guy at the party. Fine. I'll own it. Because if noticing that ESPN thinks a porn actress crying over a football game is worth airtime makes me old, then maturity has officially gone extinct.And that's the point.The media is no longer interested in news, excellence, or seriousness. It is interested in spectacle, infantilization, and emotional pornography. A porn actress crying because a football team lost is not sports journalism. It is not even entertainment. It's filler for a culture that has nothing left to say.And this didn't happen by accident.This is what Leftism produces when it runs out of ideas. When there is no policy success to trumpet, no moral authority to claim, and no results to defend, you pivot to vibes, tears, sex, and identity. You distract. You deflect. You regress.Meanwhile, Donald Trump keeps moving forward. That contrast is the story.The Media Became Juvenile Because Trump Became EffectiveAsk yourself a simple question. Why is the media obsessed with nonsense right now?Porn stars in the stands. Crying celebrities. Outrage panels about hand gestures. Manufactured scandals about tone, posture, and decorum. Anything but outcomes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome back, folks. I leave for a little while and the whole country turns into a yard sale run by raccoons with government grants. I step away to “recharge,” and suddenly America's got flaming cities, illiterate graduates, Google Maps running witness protection for burned neighborhoods, and Democrats trying to hide their catastrophes. But don't worry. During my absence, with the help of a few friends, I solved the world's problems. Completely solved them. Wrapped it up like leftovers at Thanksgiving. Turns out the answer was sitting right there the whole time.Dump Leftists.That's it. That's the cure. Not a committee. Not a blue-ribbon panel. Not another trillion-dollar infrastructure bill where somehow only the “consultants” get infrastructure. Just dump Leftists.Because here's the thing nobody wants to admit out loud: Leftism never voluntarily dies. It survives like glitter in carpet. You think it's gone, then six years later you find a pronoun in your vacuum cleaner.And I'm not talking about liberals from thirty years ago. Those people argued taxes and foreign policy. Today's Leftism is a traveling circus run by emotionally unstable former hall monitors. These people looked at every functioning institution in America and said, “What if we made it weaker, uglier, and sexually confusing?”And they did it.Now, there are two ways to defeat Leftism.The easy way is economic starvation. Stop feeding it. Stop funding the universities that hate your guts. Stop buying products from companies that think your daughter needs three therapists and a gender consultant before algebra class. Stop subsidizing people who openly despise the nation that made their nonsense possible.No revenue. Let it collapse under the weight of its own vegan poetry slam.The hard way? Make Leftists watch Conservatism succeed.That's the cruelest punishment imaginable for them. They cannot stand happy, functional people. A conservative family barbecue is like holy water on a demon. Kids laughing, meat on the grill, dads fixing things voluntarily, nobody screaming about colonialism near the potato salad. It terrifies them.Because Conservatives commit the unforgivable sin in modern America: we enjoy reality.Meanwhile Leftists are permanently angry at gravity, biology, merit, math, and sunlight.Speaking of math, let's go to academia. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So Eric Trump is suing Jen Psaki. And I don't even care what the lawsuit is about. Seriously. At this point, if a Trump sues a Democrat, I assume somewhere there's a fax machine crying and three MSNBC producers stress-eating hummus.But I love the symbolism of it. Because for years these people weaponized government against Trump, weaponized the courts, weaponized intelligence agencies, weaponized leaks, weaponized social media. Democrats turned America into the world's first bureaucratic escape room. Every day under Trump was another clue: “To continue your presidency, solve this puzzle hidden inside a subpoena wrapped in a Russia hoax.”Now? Eric Trump says, “Cool. Your turn.”And suddenly the Left discovers legal fees are expensive when USAID isn't covering them.That's the beauty of MAGA. It's not just political anymore. It's cultural gravity. Trump didn't simply survive. He turned political persecution into a franchise model. Democrats thought they were building his prison cell. Instead they built a gymnasium where conservatives learned how to fight.And spare me this media fairy tale that MAGA is “falling apart.” They've been predicting the death of MAGA longer than Al Gore's been predicting the death of the planet. According to cable news, MAGA has died more times than Kenny on South Park.They tell us conservatives are furious with Trump over war policy, personality, tariffs, tone, Truth Social posts, golf scores, the angle of his tie, and probably the migration pattern of geese. Yet somehow, every Republican who publicly betrayed Trump politically evaporated like cheap cologne in Phoenix.Ten out of ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump? Gone.Five Republican Senators tied to impeachment efforts? Gone, including Bill Cassidy.The Bush dynasty? Politically taxidermied.Cheneys? The political equivalent of Circuit City.Romneys? Finished.Pence? Mike Pence has less support in the Republican Party than gluten-free biscuits at a Texas rodeo.And this matters historically because the Republican establishment used to operate like a country club with a velvet rope. You got approved by donors, consultants, think tanks, and guys named Whitaker who own loafers without socks. Trump bulldozed that system. MAGA voters looked at decades of “managed decline” from polished Republicans and said, “Maybe the billionaire from Queens screaming at CNN is onto something.”And here's the part the Left still cannot process: MAGA isn't held together by government dependency. That's why it survives attacks.Leftism? Different story entirely.Leftism would collapse inside a month if it had to survive without taxpayer subsidies and foreign influence money. One month. Thirty days. The political equivalent of a juice cleanse.Because modern Leftism produces almost nothing organically anymore. Every institution props it up artificially: academia, entertainment, NGOs, government grants, corporate DEI departments, media partnerships, foreign donors. It's the ideological version of a patient connected to fourteen machines going beep-beep-beep while MSNBC doctors stand around saying, “Vitals look strong!”No they don't.Imagine if Leftists had to balance a budget. Imagine if they had to run cities without deficits, corruption, or dependency. Imagine if they couldn't endlessly siphon taxpayer money into “equity initiatives” that somehow always end with consultants buying vacation homes.Meanwhile, conservatives already do what Leftists only hashtag about. They donate more privately. Volunteer more. Build businesses. Create jobs. Show up after disasters with chainsaws and bottled water instead of interpretive dance and pronoun worksheets.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The entire world votes on America every single day with immigration. That's the real poll.And here's the part the Left hates. The more functional and prosperous America becomes, the more impossible it is for them to sell their victimhood franchise.Because modern Leftism requires America to be evil. It's foundational. If America is fundamentally good, then their entire emotional support ideology collapses like a vegan bodybuilder in a power outage.Think about what these people actually believe.They say America is systemically racist, yet millions of non-white immigrants desperately want to come here.They say capitalism is oppression, while posting those complaints from $1,200 smartphones ordered with free shipping.They say America is terrible, but notice how none of them ever move to the worker's paradise of North Korea. Funny how socialism is always somebody else's retirement plan.And history absolutely wrecks their argument.Name another country that became the dominant military power, economic engine, innovation capital, and cultural exporter simultaneously.America rebuilt Europe after World War II.We put a man on the moon.We created the modern internet.We dominate entertainment, technology, medicine, aviation, finance, and innovation so thoroughly that even people who hate America usually hate us using American apps on American phones while wearing American fashion trends.Even our enemies consume America like addicts hiding snacks under the bed.China criticizes us while sending their kids to American universities.Russian oligarchs don't stash money in Belarus. They stash it in Manhattan.Everybody talks tough about America until it's time to buy real estate, educate their children, or protect their assets.Then suddenly Old Glory starts looking pretty attractive.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Democrats have no natural immunity to the kind of justification for violence we are now seeing with increasing frequency because everything is viewed through a relativist oppressor-oppressed lens. One merely has to look at the reaction to recent murders of Charlie Kirk, the health care CEO, and two staffers from the Israeli embassy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast All the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com

The man at the center of this isn't some anonymous figure floating around the edges of society. His name is Matthew Mahl. A 47-year-old lieutenant. Twenty-three years on the force. Not a rookie. Not a guy who slipped through the cracks on a paperwork glitch. This is someone who was the system. Former chairman of the D.C. Police Union. The kind of guy who didn't just wear the badge, he represented the people wearing the badge.And now? Arrested. Charged with soliciting a minor and seeking child pornography.Let that marinate.Because according to investigators, this wasn't a momentary lapse or a misread situation. This was weeks of communication with someone he believed to be a 15-year-old boy. Messages. Explicit content. Repeated acknowledgment of the age. And then… the pièce de résistance… he takes time off work to go meet the kid.Except the “kid” was an undercover detective.So the man who helped represent law enforcement… walked straight into a law enforcement sting.That's not irony. That's a Shakespearean plot twist wearing a badge.And here's the part that should bother everyone, regardless of politics: how does someone build a 23-year career, rise to leadership, become the face of a police union… and allegedly carry this kind of behavior on the side?That's not a glitch.

We found the SCOTUS leaker. My good buddy Rick Perry told me that Molly Hemingway said it was Justice Kagan. A mass shooting occurred the other day, and in ONE DAY it's out of the news cycle. A Black man killed 7 of his own children and their cousin, critically wounded the two mothers of those kids, and nothing is being said today.“What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on?” Things move fast, and when they don't fit the narrative they move so fast you don't even think you saw it.I don't blame Democrats for wanting the story of a man who became so enraged at Leftism on multiple scales, he decided to act against his nature and better judgment.What judgment?What led to this tragedy?And what's up with Tucker Carlson?[X] SB – Tucker Carlson apologizes for supporting TrumpNot intentional to mislead people.

There are too many inconsistencies in Leftism to keep up. We have “partners” interfering with serious negotiations in Iran, contradictions in education, justice, and so on, but we are told to ignore it. Leftists just want to be left alone to do their thing.And this is the show where we highlight the ironies and hypocrisies…I have a Candace Owens update, and it's so full of irony and hypocrisy, I officially named it SASSY…[X] SB – Swalwell warns Homan and NoemHow did this work out for Swalwell?I can't wait to see how much time in front of the camera Schiff, Raskin, Goldman, etc have. Tucker Carlson's son has been dismissed from Vance's staff…One minute, we're told there's a path forward with Iran. Negotiations are happening, pressure is working, the chessboard looks… not peaceful, but at least organized. Then suddenly, somebody flips the game board.Strait open. Strait closed. Deal on. Deal off. And right on cue, in walks Keir Starmer like a man announcing the weather after setting the storm himself.[X] SB – Starmer…Productive meeting. Simple message.World needs the Strait of Hormuz openI want to be clear that my position is not a lack of faith in Donald Trump. If anything, it's the opposite. Trump's consistency is the one fixed star in this whole cosmic circus. He has been crystal clear about Iran for years: no nukes, no funny business, and no more pretending that bad actors just need a group hug and a nuke summit to behave.But the rest of the world? I smell skullduggery.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Oh we are bringing the pain to the Left today. They listen to the show. They hide out like voyeurs, I'm a “learing” center for Leftism.Those listening are detoxing.Did you see the story about the woman paid $1650 per hour. She collected $20,000 and is refusing to give the money back to her employer.I get it. If I worked for the government, I wouldn't give it back,A woman in WI killed her daughter to protect her from Elon Musk.A 30-yo woman killed her husband, after pretending to give him a massage. Then she killed his mother and step-father, likely because they were Trump supporters.But Swalwell isn't Democrats only problem. Let me tell you something, folks… when politicians say they're “bringing home the bacon,” I didn't realize they meant literally funding the kitchen.

In this bonus episode, Nina Power and I discussed the rise of a new style of Leftism in the Anglosphere, embodied in figures like Zack Polanksi and Zohran Mamdani. Discussed in this episode: Rupert Lowe statement on the Greens. Times of London analysis of the Green vote. Akhmed Yakoob on the Greens. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Consider the absurdity for a moment, not as a rhetorical flourish but as a stress test of the idea. If proximity determines identity, then reality becomes a carnival of accidental transformations.Born near a litter of puppies, do you suddenly develop a taste for kibble? Delivered in a garage, should we expect you to idle quietly and require oil changes? Arrive mid-flight at 30,000 feet, and does the cockpit become your natural habitat?Push it further, because the premise invites it. If you happen to be born in the backseat of a taxi, is the driver now your extended family? Should Thanksgiving invitations be sent accordingly?The mind resists these conclusions because they are ridiculous, yet they flow directly from the same logic that underpins the current interpretation of birthright citizenship. Geography alone, stripped of allegiance, culture, or legal intent, becomes a kind of magical stamp, transforming circumstance into identity.And that is where the argument quietly collapses under its own weight.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I'd like to give you just a handful of things that we looked at today for the show. See if you can spot the Leftism in these stories:· Catholic nuns in New York are suing the state over a 2024 law that requires long-term care facilities to cater to a patient's so-called gender-identity in conversation, rooming assignments, and bathroom use. Source: National Review· Woman suing over MRI: The complaint alleges that the grief-stricken widow has experienced "severe and serious personal, psychological and emotional injuries" as a result of McAllister's death, resulting in "permanent effects of pain, disability, disfigurement and loss of body function." Source: NY Post· Grandfather of 7 drowned during baptism? Did you hear this story? Was Grandma the pastor doing the baptism? Check his insurance policy and work backwards.RenovationRenovation.

You can learn a lot about a political narrative by what it refuses to remember.Spend even a modest amount of time researching birthright citizenship, and you'll quickly notice something peculiar, almost surgical in its omission. The conversation rarely begins where it should. Instead of grounding itself in the brutal, undeniable reality that gave rise to the 14th Amendment, the modern debate skips straight to slogans, as if history were an inconvenient prologue rather than the entire plot.The amendment did not emerge from a think tank. It was not crafted as an abstract philosophical exercise. Rather, it was forged in the aftermath of slavery, when a nation that had just torn itself apart faced a simple but urgent question: What does freedom actually mean if it can be legally denied the moment it becomes inconvenient?Former slaves, newly freed and newly vulnerable, were being denied citizenship by states eager to maintain control through technicalities. That is the soil from which the 14th Amendment grew. It was meant to guarantee that those who had been shackled by law would not remain stateless in freedom.Yet here we are, generations later, watching that same amendment stretched, twisted, and repurposed into something its authors would scarcely recognize.Because if birthright citizenship, as currently argued, is simply about location, then logic itself begins to unravel like a cheap sweater snagged on a nail.Consider the absurdity for a moment, not as a rhetorical flourish but as a stress test of the idea. If proximity determines identity, then reality becomes a carnival of accidental transformations.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Stability emerges not from perfection but from accumulated wisdom.Predictability, in this sense, becomes a virtue. A conservative neighbor pays his bills, fixes his roof, raises his children, and rarely announces himself as history's greatest hero for doing so. Achievement is understood as responsibility fulfilled, not identity constructed.This humility stems from an uncomfortable recognition: human beings are not gods. We operate within systems larger than ourselves, whether moral, natural, or divine. Conservatives tend to accept this arrangement, which explains why they build institutions meant to endure rather than experiments designed to impress.Leftism, by contrast, promises transcendence. It whispers that limitations are oppressive illusions and that society itself can be redesigned like a smartphone app awaiting an update.And that is where the doping begins.In physics, doping alters a material's properties by introducing impurities. Add a foreign element to silicon and suddenly electrons behave differently. The structure still looks intact, but its behavior changes fundamentally.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gravity worked. Effort mattered. Boys were boys, girls were girls, and if your neighbor built a better fence, you complimented him instead of filing an emotional grievance with the Department of Feelings. Life wasn't perfect, but it was comprehensible. Cause produced effect. Actions carried consequences. The universe ran on rules sturdy enough to survive disagreement.Then America discovered a drug so powerful that users insist they're completely sober while walking straight into walls.Leftism.Not merely a political philosophy, not simply a collection of policies, but a full-spectrum intoxicant. A worldview that alters perception first, judgment second, and memory last. And like any effective narcotic, its users rarely realize they're high.The brilliance of the product lies in its delivery system. Nobody hands you a syringe labeled “Ideological Dependency.” Instead, the dose arrives disguised as compassion, fairness, progress, or whatever emotionally irresistible wrapping paper fits the decade. By the time the side effects appear, the addiction has already settled into the bloodstream.Many Americans alive today never experienced ideological sobriety. They were born into the haze. But others remember an earlier America, one guided by conservative principles that functioned less like political preferences and more like natural laws.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Forget the Iran conflict, as that will end soon. And with that cessation will come yet another victory for President Trump.While Iran is a key issue, and its impact on the economy is clear, it's all temporary.What Democrats hate is that Trump never gets distracted, because he is so good at juggling multiple issues.Fun fact: President Trump is said to have the highest IQ of any president in history.In case you've missed it, it being my show, I explain how President Trump connected the dots on how Leftism has won for decades despite being the ideology for the insane.To understand Leftism, know that it is about two things: money and power.Either can lead to the other when in the possession of evil people.Democrats got into power, and they have done everything they could to maintain it.Check out this clip on how Republicans were banned from polling stations:[X] SB – Congresswoman speaks on DNC injunction. Mid-1980s. Fed Judge in NJ.Something else people don't know is that start in the mid-1980s, there was a federal district court judge in New Jersey, who entered a consent decree that Republicans could not be poll watchers. So from mid-80's until 2020, Republicans were not allowed to be poll watchers on these national elections. And what happened was that judge eventually died and the Democrats, the DNC, they had to go get that injunction renewed every 5-8 years, something along those lines. And when that judge died, he was replaced by an Obama judge, and they went back to that judge and they said, we want this consent decree in place making so Republicans cannot be poll watchers and cannot be a part of this process. And he said, what in the heck are you talking about? This is absolutely so unconstitutional. And he refused to renew that consent decree. He refused to renew that injunction. So 2020 was one of the first years that we had professional Republican poll watchers in these elections to see what was going on in Atlanta, in Detroit, in Milwaukee, in, you know, in in Philadelphia. It was the first time we were able to really see what was going on in these polling places. What that tells me is that probably a lot of these shenanigans were been going on for a long, long time, but there were no Republicans there to report on it.” Our elections have always been rigged by Democrats.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats make it impossible to fool people on April Fool's. Because they are dope fiends.They need to recover from the dope of Leftism, which I discussed recently.And yet, recovery remains possible.History shows societies periodically rediscover sobriety. Economic crises expose unsustainable fantasies. Cultural exhaustion replaces ideological enthusiasm. People begin asking forbidden questions again, quietly at first, then publicly.They notice that stability feels better than chaos. That responsibility produces dignity. That truth, however inconvenient, proves less frightening than illusion.Sobriety does not arrive with fireworks. It arrives with recognition. A parent questioning curriculum. A worker noticing incentives no longer reward effort. A citizen realizing that policies promising compassion somehow produce disorder.One by one, individuals step outside the fog.The greatest challenge is psychological, because abandoning ideological intoxication feels like losing identity itself. Addiction convinces users that sobriety equals emptiness. In reality, sobriety restores perception.Colors sharpen. Cause reconnects with effect. Moral clarity returns not as cruelty but as coherence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Universities, long celebrated as sanctuaries of free thought and intellectual rigour, have for centuries been regarded as the best way to educate and conduct research. But increasingly, this assumption is being questioned. A recent study found that two-thirds of academics feel their freedom to teach and study is being curtailed. In 2022 alone, over 1,000 instances of content warnings or text removals were documented across UK universities. While some academics now criticise PhD programmes as a way to extract "fees and cheap labour" from students, reports suggest that most academic papers are read by an average of just ten people. More than half of respondents now say that going to university is not worth it. And in the US, graduate student debt averages over $71,000, while similar information is often freely available online.Should we call time on the age of the university and find new, innovative ways to educate people? Should we leave research and innovation to the business sector and free-market forces? Or are universities still vital to our education and culture and can a radical overhaul restore them to their original purpose?Yaron Brook is a political scientist, and chairman of the Ayn Rand Institute.

Millions of Americans swear they're sober, rational, and informed. Yet their thinking staggers, their memory fades, and reality feels negotiable. The country isn't drunk on substances. It's intoxicated by an ideology.There was a time in America when reality required no translation guide.Gravity worked. Effort mattered. Boys were boys, girls were girls, and if your neighbor built a better fence, you complimented him instead of filing an emotional grievance with the Department of Feelings.
