Jen Psaki looks at how Donald Trump failed at what should have been the easiest assignment of his presidency, celebrating the 250th birthday of the United States. And Trump even managed to blow up the signing ceremony for what should have been a no-brainer, bipartisan, American-helping housing bill. But it was in his unhinged tweets that it became clear what was really on his mind. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries discusses last night's primary elections, including the races in New York in which candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani defeated candidates backed by Jeffries. Jen Psaki explains the difference between the America 250 planning to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States, and "Freedom 250," which is Donald Trump's vehicle to make America's 250th birthday about himself at to his own benefit. Senator Jon Ossoff joins to discuss how self-dealing corruption has become a hallmark of Donald Trump's presidency. Senator Elizabeth Warren talks with Jen Psaki about Donald Trump's refusal to sign a bipartisan housing bill that will help Americans struggling with the high cost of living in Trump's economy.

Elizabeth Warren is at it again. The Massachusetts senator is pushing legislation that should alarm anyone who believes in free markets, private investment, and access to healthcare. Most importantly, it should concern patients. Warren's so-called "Stop Corporate Crimes Against Healthcare Act" is being marketed as a way to protect Americans from corporate abuse. In reality, it threatens private investment and could accelerate hospital closures, particularly in rural communities. The most troubling part of the bill is simple: prison. Warren wants new criminal penalties for healthcare executives and investors based on government determinations about business decisions. The legislation would also allow officials to claw back compensation years after the fact. Think about that. Invest in healthcare and you could become the next political target. That's not accountability. That's intimidation. What's especially troubling is that Warren repeatedly conflates private equity firms with Real Estate Investment Trusts, known as REITs. The two are not the same. Private equity firms buy and manage companies. REITs own real estate. In healthcare, REITs often purchase hospital properties and lease them back to operators. This allows hospitals to unlock capital tied up in real estate and reinvest it into patient care, equipment, technology, and expansion. REITs don't run hospitals. They don't hire doctors. They don't fire nurses. They don't make patient care decisions. They own buildings and provide capital. For decades, this financing model has helped hospitals remain open and expand services. It is widely used throughout the American economy. Yet Warren wants Americans to believe these property owners are responsible for healthcare's problems. The reality is that many hospitals depend on outside investment to survive. If investors believe they could face prison, asset seizures, or political persecution, they will stop investing. Capital dries up. Projects stop. Services disappear. Hospitals close. The communities hit hardest will be rural America. Patients will travel farther for care. Emergency services become less accessible. Healthcare deserts expand. Ironically, the very people Warren claims to be helping could become the biggest victims of her legislation. What Warren ignores is the real crisis facing healthcare. The system is drowning in waste, fraud, abuse, and unsustainable government spending. Billions of taxpayer dollars disappear into bloated bureaucracies every year while politicians promise more benefits and more programs without meaningful reform. Instead of fixing the problems government helped create, Warren is searching for a scapegoat. That scapegoat is private investment. And that should concern every American. Because when politicians start threatening prison for legal business activity, investors leave. When investors leave, hospitals lose access to capital. When capital disappears, services disappear. And when services disappear, patients pay the price. This bill isn't really about protecting patients. It's about expanding government power. Like so many progressive proposals before it, the goal is more regulation, more bureaucracy, and more control concentrated in Washington. The result won't be better healthcare. It will be fewer hospitals, fewer choices, and fewer options for the communities that need healthcare the most. That is why Elizabeth Warren's latest healthcare proposal is so dangerous.SponsorsThe Maverick Systemhttps://TheMaverickSystem.comVRA Insiderhttps://VRAInsider.comPatriot Mobilehttps://www.PatriotMobile.com/GrantThe Wellness Companyhttps://Twc.Health/GrantUse Code: GRANT For 10% OffLost Soldier Oil And Gashttps://www.LostSoldier.comSugarfina Investment Opportunityhttps://invest.sugarfina.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Do Democrats really hear themselves, when they make the most asinine statements?That was a montage of Leftists who declared at one point that Elon Musk is stupid.And this was when Musk might become a trillionaire with just Tesla.Remember how they hated the man they used to love. The man who developed the first mass-production EV vehicle, revolutionized the car industry. The god of Green.Yes, the very same. [X] SB – Stephen Moore…How proud we should be. Great country…But as soon as he declared that he was no longer interested in supporting Leftist ideology, we learned how stupid one of the smartest men on earth is.Are Democrats even capable hiding their idiocy?Dinesh D'Souza tweeted:Notice how socialists never talk about seizing the wealth of George Soros or any of the other multi-billionaires who bankroll their operations. They would be praising Elon to the sky, and vigorously protecting his wealth, if he were politically on their side.And nobody illustrated that better than Elizabeth Warren.[X] SB – Elizabeth Warren on Elon Musk trillionaireHanging on by their fingernailsMore money, wealth…Not a fluke.

Elon Musk has officially reached trillionaire status, sparking backlash from Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Patrick Bet-David and the panel break down first-principle thinking, SpaceX, Tesla, failure, and why some believe Musk earned every dollar by solving bigger problems.
Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories we covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. Jim Geraghty was on vacation, so we heard from very capable guest hosts, including Jim's National Review colleague, Charlie Cooke. This week Charlie and Greg discuss three stories that suggest many on the left are losing their grip on reality, including Jim Acosta's absurd analysis of Trump's name being removed from the John F. Kennedy Center, the left's meltdown over Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire, a new poll highlighting the huge partisan divide over patriotism, and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson wishing he still paid taxes in Texas.First, they cover the left's obsession over the removal of President Trump's name from the Kennedy Center. Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta compared it to the fall of the Berlin Wall and called it “a sign that humankind can stand up against tyranny.”Next, they rip Democrats for their hysterical reaction following the SpaceX IPO, with the likes of Bernie Sanders and Ellizabeth Warren rushing to demand wealth taxes as soon as Musk crossed the trillion-dollar mark. Charlie condems the left's tendency towards punishing success and stifling ambition. Then, they comment on a new NBC poll on American patriotism showing the stark difference in responses between Republicans and Democrats. Pride in America among Democrats seems to be largely dependent upon the occupant of the White House. As an immigrant who is now a U.S. citizen, Charlie explains how disgraceful that thinking is. Finally, Charlie and Greg delight in a clip of NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, who after delivering the New York Knicks their first championship in 53 years, admitted, “I miss the Texas taxes.” Texas does not tax personal income, while New York has one of the nation's highest tax burdens.Please visit our great sponsors:BetterHelpYou don't have to say yes to everything this summer.

One group sees a guy who helped revolutionize electric vehicles, private space flight, satellite communications, artificial intelligence, robotics, and who knows what he'll tackle next.The other sees a tax form that hasn't been filled out aggressively enough.That's the divide.Conservatives tend to look at extraordinary achievement and ask, "What can we learn from it?"Leftists look at extraordinary achievement and ask, "Who allowed this?"And nobody illustrated that better than Elizabeth Warren.The moment Musk crossed the trillion-dollar threshold, Warren responded exactly the way your neighborhood HOA president responds when somebody paints their house a color she didn't approve.Not curiosity.Not admiration.Not even skepticism.Immediate regulatory panic."We need a wealth tax."Of course.Because in Washington, every accomplishment eventually gets translated into government revenue.Build a company? Tax it.Create jobs? Tax them.Invent something revolutionary? Tax that too.At some point they'll propose taxing ambition itself.The Left treats wealth the way medieval villagers treated comets.They don't understand where it came from, but they're convinced it means something terrible.And what fascinates me isn't Warren.She's doing what Warren does.What fascinates me is how many people share the same mindset.They see Elon Musk and think he somehow won capitalism's lottery.As if Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, X, and AI were all purchased at a gas station with a lucky scratch-off ticket.As if a trillion dollars simply appeared one morning in his checking account.No process.No risk.No sacrifice.No years of being told he'd fail.Just poof.A trillion dollars.The reality is far less magical and far more irritating to his critics.Musk spent years being mocked by people who have never built anything larger than a political mailing list.Tesla was supposed to fail.SpaceX was supposed to fail.Starlink was supposed to fail.His purchase of Twitter, now X, was supposed to be the business equivalent of driving a Ferrari into a lake.The experts assured us.The analysts assured us.The journalists assured us.The politicians assured us.At one point, the only thing growing faster than Musk's companies was the list of people predicting their collapse.And here's the remarkable thing.Every prediction failed.Every obituary was premature.Every declaration that Musk had finally overplayed his hand turned into another example of why the people making the predictions should never be trusted with lottery numbers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Crypto News: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has signed a 0.2% tax on crypto transactions into law including transfers between personal wallets. This idea was definitely seeded by Elizabeth Warren. Bitcoin chart and onchain metrics show bullish signs.Brought to you by
Send us Fan MailThe Big IdeaProfessor Adam Braus pitches a fix nobody's tried: instead of taxing property at a flat rate, tax it like income — progressively. Own a modest home? You're barely taxed. Own a $50 million real estate empire? You pay real money. It's a property tax with a conscience, and Adam argues it could solve the housing crisis, fix California's broken Prop 13 system, and take a swing at the billionaire-hoarding problem all at once.Scot Maupin, doing his usual generous-interrogator thing, pokes at yachts, shell companies, and whether landlords will just pass the cost to renters — and Adam's got an answer for all of it.What's Broken Right NowProp 13 locks property taxes to a home's original purchase price — not what it's worth today. Buy a house in 1985 for pocket change, and decades later you're still paying taxes on pocket change, even as the home is worth millions.This hits commercial property too — including, allegedly, golf courses that shuffle ownership through shell-share tricks so they're never technically "sold."The result: California's budget is starved relative to its actual wealth, and the state leans harder on income tax to compensate — which hits working people disproportionately harder than a property tax would.Meanwhile, in places like Montana and Hawaii, wealthy outsiders are buying up land and driving housing costs through the roof — not because there's a housing shortage, but because of hoarding and speculation.The Fix: Progressive Property TaxInstead of one flat rate on a property's value, tax brackets stack on a person's total property holdings:First $200K (or so): little to no tax — protects ordinary homeowners and grandmas on fixed incomes.$200K–$2M: a low rate, comparable to today's lowest-tax states.$2M–$10M+: rates climb toward the top of the national range (2%+).+$50M: a "super bracket" — 2.5–3%+ on the excess.The pitch: this could roughly double California's property tax revenue (from ~$100B to $170–200B), funneled toward building housing, ending homelessness, and politically popular wins like paid leave — while lowering the tax burden on working people (no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security).How It Closes the LoopholesA beneficiary registry (already used in Australia and some U.S. states) ties every property to a real human owner — so you can't dodge the tax by splitting ownership across an LLC for every house, or spreading deeds across family members.Commercial real estate is included. Adam's pitch turns this into a two-for-one: tax pressure forces a sell-off of empty downtown office space (a post-COVID glut), and the state can buy it cheap and convert it into actual housing — bringing residents (and life) back to dead downtowns.The Objections, Pre-DebunkedScot plays it straight and asks the obvious questions:"Won't the rich just flee to Florida or Montana?" Adam's counter: capital flight of real estate is mostly harmless — the buildings can't be packed in a suitcase. If a billionaire sells, the property stays in-state; prices just come down, which is the point."Won't this just raise rents?" Possibly nudges the very top of the market, but the broad base of affordable housing should barely move — maybe even gets cheaper as demand shifts."Will yachts and jets count?" No — keep it simple, this is real estate only.Where the Idea Comes FromAdam name-checks Gary's Economics (and its scrappier YouTube cousin, Barry's Economics) for the broader "tax wealth, not work" framing, and ties the proposal back to existing progressive wealth-tax proposals from Bernie Sanders (the famous "8% bracket above $1B," pegged to average market returns) and Elizabeth Warren (flat 2% above $50M) — positioning the progressive property tax as a more politically palatable, state-level cousin of those ideas.Detour of the EpisodeA spirited tangent on Maine's Senate race, Graham Platner — oyster farmer, combat veteran, and the episode's pick for "proof this message can win" — plus a running bit on whether wind turbines can literally use up the wind. (They cannot. Probably.)Quotable"I'm so wealthy that I can't pay the tax on my wealth." — the complaint Adam says is doing a lot of work to protect a small number of very rich people.Want me to also draft a short, punchier episode description (the 2–3 sentence blurb for podcast apps) or social media copy to go with these notes?

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 16, 2026. We open with Hollywood's next election cycle project — Sean Penn and Warner Brothers are producing a film about January 6th from the perspective of an anti-Trump police officer, described as based on a real person but fictionalized. We discuss what an honest January 6th film would actually require — including the FBI coming clean about how many informants were in that crowd, whether they incited the violence, and why that information has been withheld from both Congress and defendants. We also note that the FBI agent who ran the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping sting — which a Michigan appeals court just threw out — was the head FBI agent in Washington D.C. on January 6th. Do we trust Sean Penn to tell that story? We already know the answer. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the FBI disrupted a terrorist plot to attack the UFC fight on the White House lawn — suspects planned to use explosive-laden drones to drive survivors into sniper fire, with 23 people named as suspects arrested across Ohio, California, Missouri, and Nebraska. Then President Trump arrived in France for the G7 summit, where topics include the Iran peace deal, Russia-Ukraine, and energy security — with French President Macron already looking for alternative routes to move Middle Eastern oil that don't depend on the Strait of Hormuz. And 15 Antifa members were arrested in Minnesota and charged with conspiracy to injure federal law enforcement officers after attempting to block immigration enforcement operations earlier this year. We also cover James Carville's latest prediction that President Trump will resign by Easter of 2027 — bored, tired, distracted, and facing political collapse. We point out that Carville appears to be describing his own audience, not the man who negotiated an Iran peace deal, hosted a UFC fight on the White House lawn, and is still running laps around every critic who has ever declared him finished. Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the competing events on the same weekend as the UFC fight — the anti-Trump Hollywood rally featuring Bette Midler, Robert De Niro, Jane Fonda, and Julia Roberts telling the crowd to breathe in the love and breathe out the fear. Teri asks where this outrage was when men with surgical implants were flashing the White House lawn on Easter during the Biden administration. She researched the cultural events Obama hosted at the White House — and says she's glad he did them. Her only point is that if a white president had done the same things specifically for white audiences, the left would have called it a scandal. The hypocrisy is the story. We also cover Major League Baseball warning San Francisco Giants pitchers for displaying Bible verses on their caps during Pride Night — and connect it to a broader question about whose expression gets protected and whose gets punished — including the founding principle that rights come from the Creator, not from government, and why that matters the moment you try to elect someone who doesn't believe in a Creator at all. In our Digging Deep segment, we document the cascading consequences of the FDA's Biden-era decision to allow abortion pills to be shipped through the mail without an in-person doctor visit. We walk through a documented series of cases — a woman trying to secretly give her ex-boyfriend's girlfriend an abortion pill, a man who pretended to be a woman online to obtain the pills and then told his pregnant girlfriend they were supplements, a doctor who tried to feed the pills to his sleeping mistress, and a DOJ employee accused of baking the pills into cookies for his girlfriend. Her baby died two days later. We make the case that in their zeal to make abortion as easy as possible, the left has created a system that makes it easier to force abortions on women who don't want them — which is a direct contradiction of every argument they've ever made. We also cover a Cornell University student who refused a job interview and then told the employer he wasn't interested in working for a Jew — then doubled down when given a chance to walk it back. A crowdfunding campaign raised over $13,000 to reward him. We note that the Maine Democratic Party just nominated a man with an SS tattoo for Senate, endorsed by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and connect the dots on where mainstreaming anti-Semitism leads. For our Bright Spot, a high school junior in Charlotte painted Live Like Kirk and a Bible verse on her school's spirit rock with prior permission — and was then treated like a criminal, forced out of class, and made to surrender her phone logs. The Alliance Defending Freedom took the case. The school board adopted a new speech policy, issued a public statement exonerating the student, and paid $95,000 in damages and fees. The Alliance Defending Freedom wins again. And we close with Jim Freeman, a fourth grade teacher at Tully Elementary in Louisville, who isn't even Ryan Neighbors' teacher — but when he heard that Ryan, who has spina bifida and uses a wheelchair, would have to miss the school field trip to the Falls of the Ohio State Park, he bought a specialized backpack and carried her through the park himself.

Elon Musk is being called the first trillionaire, and the left immediately demanded a piece of money that mostly exists on paper. Trump's leaked Iran deal may be peace, but it also raises the question: what was the war for? In this Good Morning Liberty breakdown, Nate and Chuck dig into the leaked 14-point Iran memorandum, JD Vance's role in selling the deal, sanctions relief, frozen Iranian funds, the $300 billion peace package, and Trump's frustration with Israel over Lebanon. Then the guys turn to Elon Musk, SpaceX, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Adam Schiff, wealth inequality, paper wealth, unrealized gains, worker equity, government spending, national debt interest, and why socialist envy keeps blaming producers instead of the state.

Mike Sperrazza, Mike Lomas, and Glenn Wiggle open on the UFC Freedom 250 card staged at the White House over Trump's birthday weekend, then break down the left's "no one left behind" counter-programming videos. The conversation turns to Elon Musk becoming the first trillionaire and the wave of envy it kicked off, with the guys working through wealth-tax pitches from Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and Bernie Sanders, including Sanders' proposal to take a 50% stake in AI companies for a government wealth fund. They get into Sanders' own three homes and best-selling anti-capitalism books, the eightfold jump in student loan debt after the government took over lending, the slide in U.S. education rankings since the Education Department was created, and Zohran Mamdani's finances. Also in the mix: Iran and the oil blockade, Bible-verse caps on the San Francisco Giants, the Gavin Newsom investigation, and FBI child-trafficking rescues.00:00 — UFC Freedom 250 at the White House and Trump's birthday03:00 — The left's "no one left behind" counter-programming songs06:00 — Collectivism, envy, and Elon Musk as the first trillionaire12:00 — Elizabeth Warren and AOC on the wealth tax18:00 — Iran, the oil blockade, and ceasefire prospects20:00 — Bible-verse caps on the Giants and politics in sports22:00 — The Newsom investigation, J6 prosecutions, and FBI trafficking rescues25:00 — Immigration enforcement and the "Maryland dad"30:00 — Bernie Sanders' three homes and his 50% tax on AI stock42:00 — Student loans, the Education Department, and Mamdani's finances
- The episode opens with the revelation that the FBI thwarted a terror plot targeting the White House UFC event, with investigators allegedly uncovering plans for explosive drones, sniper fire, and a follow-on assault aimed at maximizing panic and mass casualties. - The White House UFC card is framed as a huge cultural and political win, with the event presented as patriotic, dramatic, and unapologetically American while critics in media and entertainment are portrayed as furious that it succeeded so publicly. - The show argues that Democratic elites and liberal celebrities increasingly define themselves through open contempt for the country, spotlighting Robert De Niro, Bette Midler, and other anti-Trump figures as examples of people who can no longer separate hatred of Trump from hatred of America itself. - Elon Musk's trillionaire milestone becomes another flashpoint, with the episode casting his SpaceX success as proof that capitalism rewards innovation and job creation while Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Graham Platner respond by attacking wealth instead of explaining how success harms ordinary workers. - MLB is accused of punishing religious expression after San Francisco Giants pitchers write Bible verses on Pride Night caps, turning a simple display of Christian faith into the latest example of selective tolerance in professional sports.

Is it hate? Or is it jealousy? Whatever it is, it's a bad color on everyone as a CNN panel (and pearl-clutching Big Pharma mega-recipient Elizabeth Warren) lose their minds that Elon Musk is the world's first trillionaire. Listen to the victim cards! Listen to the excuses! Listen to anything OTHER THAN personal responsibility be played as a reason why the system reportedly isn't fair for anyone who has less money than rich people.
National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who also hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Monday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they react to the left's meltdown over Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire, the media's shock that World Cup tourists haven't found the South to be an inhospitable wasteland, a new poll highlighting the partisan divide over patriotism, and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson wishing he still paid taxes in Texas.First, they rip Democrats for their hysterical reaction following the SpaceX IPO, with the likes of Bernie Sanders and Ellizabeth Warren rushing to demand wealth taxes as soon as Musk crossed the trillion-dollar mark. Charlie condems the left's tendency towards punishing success and stifling ambition. Next, Charlie and Greg laugh at leftist media figures like USA Today's Christine Brennan being shocked that World Cup tourists were shown excellent hospitality in the American South. The perception of America as dangerous and unwelcoming is proving to be no more than a media lie. Then, they comment on a new NBC poll on American patriotism showing the stark difference in responses between Republicans and Democrats. Pride in America among Democrats seems to be largely dependent upon the occupant of the White House. As an immigrant who is now a U.S. citizen, Charlie explains how disgraceful that thinking is. Finally, Charlie and Greg delight in a clip of NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, who after delivering the New York Knicks their first championship in 53 years, admitted, “I miss the Texas taxes.” Texas does not tax personal income, while New York has one of the nation's highest tax burdens.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn BeddingGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML at https://BrooklynBedding.comPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.BetterHelpYou don't have to say yes to everything this summer.

In this episode, we kick things off in Washington, where a renewed push to tax Chinese cargo ships has agricultural shippers warning of catastrophic consequences for U.S. crop exporters. Democratic Senators Mark Kelly and Elizabeth Warren are pressing the Trump administration to reinstate port fees on Chinese vessels, charges that were suspended until November after China applied reciprocal fees. The Agriculture Transportation Coalition warns the proposals threaten the very existence of large segments of U.S. agriculture by denying them the ability to continue exporting. Next, we head west to examine how the nation's busiest container gateway is bracing for a significant downturn while massively ramping up infrastructure spending. The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners has approved a three point four billion dollar annual budget even as the port forecasts a seven percent decline in box volumes to nine point three million TEUs. Despite the volume decline driven by trade volatility and China's shrinking import share, the budget increase of six hundred sixty-five million dollars over the prior year is mostly driven by a thirty-one percent expansion for capital improvements. Finally, we explore a bold vision for autonomous cross-border freight taking shape along the Texas-Mexico border as industry leaders debate the Green Corridors project at a major Laredo conference. The privately funded initiative proposes a one hundred sixty-five-mile elevated guideway linking Laredo and Monterrey through a network of autonomous freight shuttles. The system would feature secure terminals connected by a closed-loop automated corridor designed to bypass traditional border bottlenecks, with the capacity to handle as many as ten thousand trailers per day in each direction and a targeted twenty thirty launch.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX had the most successful IPO in business history — and the left completely lost it. MSNBC's Chris Hayes let a guest brand Musk a "white supremacist" and compare him to "Radio Rwanda," a CNN panelist got hit with "you may need a lawyer," and Elizabeth Warren raged about a "rigged economy." Larry O'Connor breaks down Scott Jennings' takedown, the real personal reason Musk went political, and why even the SpaceX janitors and welders are now millionaires.

HISTORY MADE. Elon Musk is the world's first trillionaire and the usual suspects have come out to demonize. According to Forbes, Musk's total net worth surged to roughly $1.1 to $1.26 trillion on paper after SpaceX went public, completing the largest initial public offering (IPO) in stock market history. Is he evil for it? Elizabeth Warren thinks so. Also on the show: we brainstorm better Minor League nicknames instead of the Redbirds, Jake and Josh come up with a trillion-dollar bet for Game 5 of the NBA Finals, WVNN host Dale Jackson joins to talk about minor league baseball in Memphis, and Ron Hart joins to talk Elon's trillions.

Ralph talks to journalist and M.Div. Chris Hedges about Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on artificial intelligence. Then, Ralph speaks with Rick Engler (former member of the US Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigation Board) about Trump's proposed closing of that agency. Finally, Ralph pays tribute to some recently departed friends.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine.I think that Pope Leo kind of missed the point of AI. In that he describes that it could be a positive force for Catholic education (these are his words), compassionate health care, creative platforms that tell the Christian story with truth and beauty. I think those were all indications to me that he didn't quite understand what AI is about. It's not about education, it's not about compassion, it's not about truth, and it's not about beauty. It is a very pernicious force that will go beyond, of course, replacing all sorts of labor, but creating a world where fact and fiction are blurred together.Chris HedgesI think that mass organization is kind of all we have left as we barrel towards an authoritarian state. Congress doesn't function, certainly doesn't function as Congress was designed to function. They have surrendered their traditional constitutional authority, including, of course, the call for Congress to declare war. And this kind of unitary executive branch—this was put into place, by the way, before Trump. He's just taken advantage of it…And I think that it's absolutely fundamental that we recapture that kind of militancy, that kind of organized workforce that has traditionally throughout our history been such an important corrective to democracy—along with, of course, journalism.Chris HedgesRick Engler is a former U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board member and labor advocate who founded the New Jersey Work Environment Council. He has advocated for successful landmark state and national public policies that ensure workers and the public's “right to know” about potential chemical dangers, and that promote safer processes, chemical incident prevention, and whistleblower protection.The CSB is unique. I mean, nobody would think of abolishing the National Transportation Safety Board. And no one should think about abolishing the Chemical Safety Board, which does the same thing. It's not about issuing, in this case, fines or violations. It's about trying to understand the underlying causes of what led to these incidents.Rick Engler[Trump's allies] have a certain religious fervor about this. When I talk to plant managers, the plant managers of the corporations are much more careful and nuanced in most cases. They don't want their own plants to explode. But somewhere at the higher corporate levels, I think they're just willing to take the risks that the tradeoff for them is: Trump is supporting them in so many ways, why interfere? Why become part of some nuanced opposition to the most extreme EPA attacks? But I do think the elimination of the CSB is driven by the Trump administration in a way that wouldn't be happening if it was just left to the chemical industry trade associations alone. I'm not sure that's an adequate answer. I'm actually kind of puzzled by it. Because it's also really clear that if there was any one major incident, it would cost so much money—not only in the human tragedy of the lives lost and neighbors harmed and evacuations and shelter-in-place and property damage, but these incidents destroy facilities.Rick EnglerNews 6/12/26* Our top stories this week come to us from California, where, after an excruciatingly protracted wait, authorities have finally called some of the most high-profile races. In Los Angeles, Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman has secured the second slot in the mayoral race, beating out reactionary former reality television star Spencer Pratt, PBS reports. Pratt garnered significant attention from conservative media for his slick AI-generated ads and his false claims about living in an airstream trailer after his LA home burned down in the recent fires. In actuality, he was living in the posh Bel Air hotel, billed as a campaign expense, per TMZ. Now the question becomes whether or not Raman will be able to expand her coalition to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in November.* If Raman's victory is the good news however, the bad news is that Trump-endorsed Republican Steve Hilton will advance in the gubernatorial race. He will face off against former California Attorney General and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, who has accepted large campaign contributions from the California Association of Realtors, the California Medical Association and even Chevron, per CalMatters. This outcome means progressive billionaire Tom Steyer will not advance. Many are placing the blame for this on former Congresswoman Katie Porter, who remained in the race despite clearly failing to achieve any real viability throughout the race. This has drawn comparisons to Elizabeth Warren's perceived role as a spoiler candidate vis-a-vis Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Primary, particularly since Porter is a highly visible protégé of Senator Warren. In his concession speech, Steyer closed by telling his supporters “Pay attention. Know what you deserve, and know who is on your side. Understand who the villains are, and say their names out loud. Continue to demand more from your leaders and your government, until they give you the California – and the country – you know you deserve. I will be with you all the way.”* Elsewhere in California however, progressives scored major victories. In California's 22nd congressional district, Bernie Sanders-backed Randy Villegas secured a spot in the top two, beating out his opponent Jasmine Bains, who enjoyed the backing of AIPAC and 53 corporate donors, according to the American Prospect. He will face Republican incumbent Congressman David Valadao in November. Even more impressive is the victory of progressive challenger Mai Vang in California's 7th district primary, where she actually emerged as the top vote getter, beating out longtime incumbent Congresswoman Doris Matsui. However, because Matsui, who is 81 years old, won the second-most votes, she will still advance to the general election.* Another much-anticipated primary was held this week on the exact other end of the country. In Maine, Graham Platner trounced his opponents in the Democratic Senate race, winning over 70% of the vote despite a concerted campaign against him in the national press. In his victory speech, CNN reports Platner wrote off the smears, saying “They don't know Maine.” Furthermore, he said “If you believe, as I do, that we can change our politics, and change our country, then you must also believe that people can change…To all those who feel let down, disappointed, or disillusioned. It is my job to earn your trust, your faith, and your support. And I will spend every day of this campaign, and if I have the privilege, every day in the United States Senate, doing exactly that.” Platner will face off against five-term incumbent Senator Susan Collins in a race that will be decisive if Democrats are to have any chance of retaking the Senate in the 2026 midterms.* Turning towards the plains, two candidates are starting to show a surprising level of viability in heavily Republican, rural states. First, in Idaho, Todd Achilles is running as an independent against Republican incumbent Senator Jim Risch. Achilles served as a tank commander and armor officer in the Army before a varied career in the corporate world, education and now politics, according to Independent Voter News. The most striking development in this race is a new poll showing that while “Achilles starts out…behind by 14 points at 48-34…once voters hear biographical information about him and negative messaging about Senator Risch, he gains a full 17 points…[leading] Risch, 41% to 38%.” If accurate, this would be a stunningly close race in a state where registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats by a margin greater than 5-to-1.* In South Dakota, Brian Bengs, another veteran turned educator – turned, in this case, National Park Ranger – is running shockingly close to incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. According to the South Dakota Standard, the latest polling shows Rounds leading Bengs 44% to 40%, with 16% undecided. Moreover, like the Achilles poll, when voters are given biographical information about Bengs and negative messaging about Senator Rounds, that margin flips to 44% in favor of Bengs, compared to just 42% for Rounds. If these polls are accurate and independent candidates – not just Achilles and Bengs but also Dan Osborn in Nebraska and Seth Bodnar in Montana – prove viable, perhaps even victorious, in states long seen as out of reach for non-Republicans, there will have to be a serious reckoning with the toxicity of the Democratic Party brand in the American heartland.* In Michigan, progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has picked up perhaps the most critical possible endorsement in the state: that of the United Auto Workers. In a statement, the union wrote that “UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn't afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity…From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.” Whether because of this endorsement or not, El-Sayed now seems to be in the driver's seat in this primary. This endorsement dovetails with UAW President Shawn Fain's rumored frustration with the mainstream labor movement for not doing more to back labor candidates, such as Clare Valdez in New York, who was a UAW organizer before entering the State Assembly.* On the House floor meanwhile, lame-duck dissident Republican Congressman Thomas Massie delivered a barn-burner of a speech this week, demanding that the government reopen the investigation into the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Al Jazeera reports. The attack on the Liberty, a US Navy vessel, killed 34 service members and injured 171 others. For decades, Israel has claimed that this was nothing more than an accidental incident of friendly fire, but the surviving veterans have long disputed this explanation, contending that it was a deliberate attack, either as a “false flag operation or because they simply didn't want anybody observing what they were doing that day.” Massie called on the House to “give them closure…It's long overdue. And then they can have their justice.”* Looking to Latin America, the presidential election in Peru is, predictably, coming down to a razor thin margin, WLRN reports. This race, between left-wing Senator Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, perennial presidential candidate and daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori, currently stands at 50.004% for Fujimori and 49.996% for Sánchez, with 98.258% of the votes tabulated. Sánchez was favored to win after the in-country votes were counted, then Fujimori pulled ahead when the votes from Miami came in, other absentee votes eroded that margin and gave Sánchez the edge once again but Fujimori has yet again pulled ahead by a hair. This is Fujimori's fourth presidential campaign, making it to the runoff each time but ultimately losing by the narrowest of margins.* Finally, in Colombia, Progressive International reports that while Colombian President Gustavo Petro presides at the United Nations Security Council, “conservative forces in the country's legislature have conspired against the constitution to ‘SUSPEND' his presidency — just 11 days from the run-off presidential election.” While Reuters adds that the proposal must be “debated and approved by all 16 members of the [legislative Commission of Investigation and Accusation] and subsequently by the Senate before it can take effect,” it is hard to see this as anything besides an opportunistic grab for power while the proverbial cat is away. Petro's four-year term ends in August; the runoff in the presidential election, between leftist Ivan Cepeda and right-wing lawyer Abelardo De La Espriella, will be held on June 21st.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

- The episode opens on SpaceX's blockbuster IPO, framing Elon Musk's leap to trillionaire status as a historic win for innovation, wealth creation, and thousands of newly minted employee millionaires. - Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are cast as reflexive enemies of success, with the show arguing they demonize the entrepreneurs, investors, and employers who actually build companies, create jobs, and pay the bills. - Graham Platner's Maine Senate campaign takes another hit as a new former girlfriend says he knew his Nazi tattoo was a Nazi symbol, bragged about it, and lied publicly when the scandal exploded. - The episode warns that Tucker Carlson could become a major boost to Platner by treating him seriously, even as the show portrays Platner as a fake working-class candidate built on lies, extremism, and anti-American grievance politics. - The broader message is that elite institutions keep rewarding the wrong people, from politicians who excuse border chaos and lost migrant children to city leaders who tolerate crime and media figures who attack producers while shielding frauds.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 10, 2026. We open with a deep dive into the Iran negotiations — and the fundamental question that no amount of dealmaking experience can easily solve. President Trump is the greatest negotiator of his generation, but every negotiation assumes both parties want a mutually beneficial outcome. The Iranian regime wakes up every morning chanting death to America and death to Israel. Where is the common ground with people who want you dead? We trace the Iranian Revolution back to its founding act — not signing a constitution, not declaring independence, but taking Americans hostage — and explain why a regime defined by its opposition to America may never be capable of the kind of deal Trump has made in every other negotiation of his life. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire again this week following Iran's shooting down of an American Apache helicopter — the U.S. launched fighter jet strikes on Iranian air defenses, Iran fired missiles at U.S. bases in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait, and the U.S. launched a second wave of strikes Wednesday evening. President Trump said Iran was taking too long and would now have to pay the price. Then Democrats in Maine voted overwhelmingly to nominate Graham Plattner — the man with the SS tattoo, the predator website, and the endorsements of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren — as their Senate candidate against Susan Collins. And Carmelo Anthony was convicted of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years in prison — a jury that took just three hours to convict and another three hours to sentence, while protesters outside claimed the verdict was racist despite multiple Black teammates of Metcalf testifying that Anthony committed the crime. We dig into the aftermath of the Anthony verdict — specifically a petition circulating on Change.org calling for the arrest of Austin Metcalf's surviving twin brother Hunter, claiming his alleged behavior contributed to the murder. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to the mother outside the courthouse who asked what she should tell her five sons after the verdict. The answer, says Teri, is simple — don't stab people. We also discuss the race-baiting that surrounded the trial from the beginning, the GoFundMe that raised millions for Anthony's defense, the impact statements from the Metcalf family in the courtroom, and why Carmelo Anthony's parents walked out rather than listen to Austin Metcalf's father speak. We also cover President Trump bringing the workers who restored the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool into the Oval Office — giving them presidential challenge coins and publicly honoring the people who actually did the work rather than the politicians who show up for the gold-plated shovel photo op. We call it exactly what it is — a reminder that America was built by people in tool belts, not people at podiums. In our Digging Deep segment, a new Signal poll heading into the midterms shows that swing voters — the ones who actually decide elections — believe Democrats are more focused on hating Donald Trump than solving problems by a margin of 23 points. We also note that only 58% of Americans say they are extremely or very proud to be American, including only 28% of voters under 30, and that 30% of Democrats say they are not at all proud of their country. We make the case that if you can't tell the American people what you love about this country or offer them solutions that have actually worked somewhere on earth, running on hatred of one man is not a winning message. We also weigh in on Graham Plattner's victory speech — in which he said it was his job to earn the trust of disappointed voters. We point out that trust is not the starting point. Vision is. And we ask the question JFK would have asked — what can you do for your country — and wonder how well his 1961 inaugural address would play at a 2026 Democrat rally. For our Bright Spot, the World Cup kicks off Thursday in the United States, Canada, and Mexico — and European fans traveling across America to follow their teams are going viral for the most American reasons imaginable. A German man driving from Georgia through Mississippi to Texas ate Waffle House at 1 a.m., stopped at Buc-ee's, and attended a practice match at Auburn Stadium where he posted that his European mind could not comprehend what he was seeing. A Swedish woman who flew into Indianapolis posted from a flight over Colorado that she had faster Wi-Fi than at home and that the United States had completely radicalized her within 48 hours. We call it what it is — the American dream, visible to everyone who arrives here with open eyes. And we close with the Chicago Bears officially heading to Hammond, Indiana — after Governor Pritzker couldn't offer them what they needed. They weren't asking for a bailout. They were willing to invest $2 billion of their own money. All they wanted was tax stability. A government that has no stability itself cannot give stability to anyone else.

In a program devoted to the topic of AI, Ralph welcomes first, Tyson Slocum, director of the energy group at Public Citizen, who tells us about the local backlash against the construction of data centers. Then New York Times climate writer, David Wallace-Wells, explains how the Big Tech CEOs did not count on human beings possibly rising up against them and their machines.Tyson Slocum is director of Public Citizen's Energy Program, covering the regulation of petroleum, natural gas and power markets. He serves on the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's “Energy & Environmental Markets Advisory Committee,” and frequently intervenes before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) representing the interests of household consumers.The basic question is they (Big Tech companies) are developing essentially governmental powers— governmental powers— not market powers or corporate powers. They've reached a level now where they are our government, the corporate government. And we have to escalate our urgencies to that level. It's more than just the hour is late. The hour is over. So we have to go back and respond with a completely unprecedented level of public interest, standards, etc., including whether this technology (AI) should be allowed at all.Ralph NaderI definitely see that we are in a speculative bubble. That bubble will burst. And folks within the AI industry, like Sam Altman, have been very clear where they have publicly said, when the bubble breaks, we expect to get a financial bailout because our AI applications are so important to the national interest.Tyson SlocumAnd the backlash to data centers isn't just about, oh, I'm concerned about my power rates going up or I'm concerned about the noise or the water usage. It's also a civil rights and human rights issue where people are saying, I don't like this vision that Big Tech is laying out for us that is going to be produced in this building down the street from our community.Tyson SlocumDavid Wallace-Wells is a columnist and staff writer at the New York Times, where he writes a weekly newsletter on climate change, technology, and the future of the planet. He is the author of the book, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming. His recent feature in the New York Times Magazine is “AI Populism is Here. And No One is Ready.”Just over the last six months, there's been a huge surge in anti-AI and in particular anti-data center organizing and activism in the U.S. And you can see that on the ground where you see huge crowds coming to town halls to protest new data centers that are being proposed. You see some towns that have approved those data centers literally having their entire city council voted out of office as a result. And you see it in these surveys where within the span of just a few months. Huge sentiment flips among the American public from being basically agnostic about AI with some misgivings and some optimism to pretty striking majority opposition to the technology and the infrastructure build out that it requires.David Wallace-WellsThis (AI) is a technological revolution that has been designed and is being built by an extremely small number of people with very particular idiosyncratic, in certain ways, I think, somewhat sociopathic worldviews.David Wallace-WellsNews 6/5/26* Our top story this week comes from Congress, where the House has, at long last, successfully pushed through a War Powers Resolution on Iran. As NPR notes “The resolution had originally been set for a vote two weeks ago, but Republican leaders sent House members home early for a May recess when it appeared the largely Democratic-backed measure had enough Republican votes for passage.” However, this did not substantially erode Republican support and the resolution passed by a margin of 215 to 208, with four Republicans, led by Thomas Massie, voting for a cessation of hostilities. The measure now heads to the Senate, where Democrats have been pressing the matter as well but face an uphill battle, and even if it passes through the upper chamber, President Trump is likely to veto the measure if it arrives on his desk. Moreover, House progressives are now pushing a new War Powers Resolution, this one focusing on Lebanon. POLITICO reports Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib forced a vote this Thursday on a resolution calling for the removal of U.S. troops from Lebanon in seven days, despite opposition from the leadership of her own party. The resolution failed by a wide margin, but still garnered a respectable 92 votes, including support from Congressman Massie. Symbolic though they may be, these votes show a growing backlash to Trump's military adventurism abroad, particularly in the Middle East. With oil prices continuing to rise, this discontent shows no sign of abating.* The main news this week however were the primaires. Tuesday saw a wave of major Democratic primaries across the country. Faiz Shakir, longtime advisor to Bernie Sanders and Executive Director of More Perfect Union, reports that election night was a “clean sweep for Bernie's endorsements” with five out of five of these candidates set to win the Democratic nomination in their respective races. One race Shakir highlighted was Sam Forstag's bid for Congress in Montana's 1st congressional district. Forstag, a firefighter – technically a “smokejumper,” who parachutes into remote areas to extinguish wildfires – earned the endorsements of AOC, Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal and others, as well as many unions, in addition to that of Senator Sanders. Meanwhile in the Montana Senate race, Alani Bankhead has triumphed in the Democratic primary. According to Semafor, “Republicans suspect Bankhead will essentially cede the race to [independent candidate Seth] Bodnar (despite her denials), which would make the general election more competitive.” Bodnar is the former president of the University of Montana and his campaign is backed by former Democratic Senator Jon Tester. One recent poll of a head-to-head match up of Bodnar against Republican nominee Kurt Alme shows the candidates in a dead heat.* In New Jersey, two more Sanders-endorsed candidates have emerged victorious: Analilia Mejia and Dr. Adam Hamawy. Mejia won the special election to replace now-Governor Mikie Sherill in April, beating out former Congressman Tom Malinowksi, the heavy favorite in that race. Mejia is very likely to win this seat again in November, as she already defeated the Republican nominee, Joe Hathaway, in the special election. This from MorristownGreen. Perhaps more surprisingly is the victory of Dr. Adam Hamawy. Now a plastic surgeon, he has distinguished himself for his heroism: saving the life of now-Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth when her Blackhawk helicopter was shot down in Iraq, serving as a first responder to the 9/11 attacks, and most recently, for his work in Gaza. As the Intercept puts it, “In 2024, [Hamawy]...went to Gaza to provide medical aid to Palestinians wounded by Israeli forces and was temporarily trapped there after Israel closed the Rafah border crossing. When the crossing was reopened, Hamawy was among a small group who refused to leave on demands that more medical workers be let in.” Hamawy's progressive policy platform includes support for Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and opposing military aid to Israel. He is almost guaranteed to win this D+13 seat, succeeding Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman.* The candidates Bernie endorsed in California also prevailed, with Randy Villegas poised to win his primary in the state's 22nd congressional district and Jane Kim winning her race for California Insurance Commissioner, but the results from the state overall are more mixed. As of now, Republican Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton leads in the count, with centrist Democrat and former Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra in a close second and progressive billionaire Tom Steyer in third. However, as the count continues, Steyer's margin continues to improve while Hilton's ebbs away – meaning the runoff could end up being Becerra vs. Steyer, though it is still too early to say. A similar dynamic is unfolding in Los Angeles, where incumbent Mayor Karen Bass is ensured a slot in the general election while her opponents – Councilwoman Nithya Raman to her left and former reality TV star Spencer Pratt to her right – continue to duke it out for the second slot. With California's notoriously glacial counting pace and the LA Times reporting that millions of ballots remain to be counted, all we can do is watch and wait.* However, up in Minnesota, another Bernie-backed candidate is on the road to victory. On Tuesday, Peggy Flanagan, the Lieutenant Governor seeking the Senate seat being vacated by Amy Klobuchar, overwhelmingly won the endorsement of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. Her closest rival, Congresswoman Angie Craig, did not even bother to attend the party convention. While Craig decried the supposed anti-democratic nature of a party convention endorsement, Flanagan posted a video telling Craig “If you can't show up and face your own party, then you're not ready to face Republicans,” per the Nation. Flanagan can boast the endorsement of many high-profile progressives in addition to Sanders, such as Senators Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey, and Minnesota's own Tina Smith, among many others. If elected, she would be the first ever Native American woman to serve as Governor of an American state.* More much-publicized endorsements came this week from AOC and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who both endorsed DSA-aligned legislative candidates, but as City and State NY notes, not the same ones. Mamdani gave his blessing to Darializa Avila Chevalier, a DSA-backed candidate running to unseat powerful Rep. Adriano Espaillat who is seeking his sixth term in Congress. Polling shows Avila Chevalier runs ahead of Espaillat when voters learn about her platform, but lags behind due to low name recognition – something the Zohran endorsement is sure to help remedy. Meanwhile AOC issued her endorsement of four DSA candidates for the state legislature. This all suggests that the two titans of the New York City Democratic Socialist movement are coordinating – with Zohran seeking to boost DSA's prospects without alienating the New York state establishment and vice versa for AOC – but that is nothing more than a hunch.* Looking southward, lame duck Republican Senator John Cornyn this week posted an article on his official Twitter page titled “Libertarian Ted Brown courts disaffected conservative voters in Texas' U.S. Senate race,” from Houston Public Media. Senator Cornyn's comment – “Ruh roh” – set off a firestorm of speculation that this was a subtle endorsement of the Libertarian's campaign and intended to undermine the campaign of his erstwhile opponent and victor of the Republican Senate primary, Ken Paxton. While Cornyn has furiously denied that this is in any way an endorsement of Brown, calling even the “characterization” that he is “promoting” this candidate “fake news,” there is little doubt that posting about Brown from his official account constitutes a promotion of the campaign, albeit not an endorsement. It will be interesting to see whether Cornyn takes other subtle, or not so subtle, digs at Paxton over the course of the campaign, given that he seems to hold a substantial degree of antipathy towards the Texas Attorney General.* Our next two stories come to us from Florida. First, in Florida's 24th congressional district, the National Journal reports longtime Congresswoman Frederica Wilson will not seek reelection. We recently discussed Congresswoman Wilson on this segment when it was revealed that she had been MIA from the House for weeks following an undisclosed eye surgery. Wilson is 82 years old. The National Journal couches this story in the context of aged members of Congress accepting, or more often refusing, to pass the torch. In its gerontocracy tracker, it highlights members like Doris Matsui, John Garamendi, Jim Clyburn and Maxine Waters, all of whom are 80 years old or older, who are actively seeking reelection this cycle.* Meanwhile, in Florida's 20th district, the Sunshine State's redistricting initiative has put the historically Black district in jeopardy. Under the newly drawn lines, the frontrunner in this seat is Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and though she claims the Congressional Black Caucus and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told her that “they know I know our community” the CBC has not endorsed her and Rep. Yvette Clarke, the CBC's chairwoman, said the caucus did not encourage Wasserman Schultz to run in the district. However, there are currently four Black candidates vying for the seat previously held by Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, including Cherfilus-McCormick herself as well as progressive challenger Elijah Manley, former Mayor of Broward County Dale Holness and Luther Campbell the former rapper more famously known as Uncle Luke. Now, according to the Miami Herald, all four of these candidates are meeting to “discuss coalescing behind one candidate.” Manley is quoted in this piece saying that while they have not reached an agreement, they “did agree that we needed to consolidate,” and he said the “conversations are going on. They have been very constructive and fruitful.” It is encouraging that in the wake of Callais decision we are beginning to see a more strategic approach to Black political representation, which has been too long monopolized by powerful longtime incumbents intent on nothing so much as preserving their own fiefdoms.* Finally, in a story shocking to exactly no one, Axios is out with a new report showing that the National Guard occupation of Washington D.C. has done little to reduce crime in the District. Per a new study by the centrist Niskansen Center, while the security theater of the deployment seems to have deterred “opportunistic” property crime, violent crime remained on the same downward trajectory it had been on since before the deployment. Moreover, the promised co-benefit – that the presence of the Guard would free up the Metropolitan Police Department to focus on high-crime areas – did not materialize at all. Despite these lackluster results, President Trump plans to double the National Guard presence in Washington – which already costs $1.5 million a day – ahead of the 250th anniversary events this summer. This is an outrageous waste of taxpayer money especially now that we know for sure how little impact this hostile occupation is actually having on driving down violent crime.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

“AI represents successful capitalism. What we have alongside that is unsuccessful government. Government has no plan — left or right.” — Keith Teare It's the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. On June 6, 1944, there was an unambiguous end game — the defeat of Nazi Germany. But today, end games are more controversial, especially in terms of harnessing the AI revolution to benefit everyone. For Keith Teare, publisher of That Was the Week, the AI end game requires an “Institute of the Future.” Everyone from Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren to Elon Musk and Sam Altman should hammer out a plan to harness AI for the benefit of society. Keith offers the internet governance organisation ICANN as a model for this institute. It will shape the future for all of our benefit, he promises. So a D-Day for AI? I'm sceptical of this type of Brave New World-style technocracy. Firstly, Sanders, Warren, Musk and Altman agree on very little. And Musk and Altman hate each other. I'm also dubious that AI will or can benefit everyone. As Keith notes, some professions — teachers, for example — will be decimated by AI. Where I agree with Keith, however, is that we need a new politics for this new age. Political parties, rather than institutes, of the future. Innovation rather than ICANN. Five Takeaways • The Anthropic IPO Slip — and Why SpaceX Now Looks Small: Anthropic accidentally filed for its IPO this week — what the New York Times described as a slip. The terms of SpaceX's unconventional $75 billion IPO were also revealed. Keith's observation: SpaceX now looks small by comparison. He tried to buy SpaceX shares this week through his brokerage and expects to get none — the demand will be way bigger than the supply, and the price will go up from the offering. San Francisco real estate is already feeling the Cerebras effect: 800 employees are now millionaires. The three big IPOs — Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX — will compound that on a much larger scale. • Successful Capitalism, Unsuccessful Government: Keith's framework for the week: AI is capitalism working. Resources are directed to money-making opportunities via the profit motive, which coincides with innovation and, at least in the short term, creates lots of jobs. That is successful capitalism. Alongside it: unsuccessful government. The Trump administration went from hands-off to requiring all AI models to be submitted for a 30-day assessment before launch — in the same week. No plan. No endgame. Everyone has an opinion. Nobody states what outcome they want. • Keith's PhD: Why Capitalism Is Never Static: Andrew challenges Keith's authority to pronounce on these matters. Keith reveals: he has a PhD from the University of Kent in Canterbury — on why capitalism is never static, and why new entrants always eclipse what went before. Andrew: that was the 1970s, Keith. Does a fifty-year-old PhD give you authority? Keith: it's a useless criticism. You could say that to anyone about anything. The exchange is revealing: the argument is not about credentials but about frameworks. And Keith's framework — capitalism as dynamic, government as static — has at least the virtue of consistency. • Credit to Bernie and Warren: At Least They're Having the Conversation: Andrew expects Keith to trash Bernie Sanders (50% government ownership of AI companies) and Elizabeth Warren (high taxation of AI profits). Keith surprises him: at least they're having the conversation. His criticism is not that they're wrong to want wealth distribution but that their framing — tax, centralise, spend — is unattractive to most people and captured by the interests of the old economy: teachers' unions, trade unions, legacy coalitions that can't think freely about a future without teachers as they currently exist. • An ICANN for AI: Keith's One Concrete Prescription: Andrew pushes Keith for one concrete thing politicians should do this year. Keith's answer: create an Institute for the Future. Bring Musk, Altman, Amodei, Sanders, Warren, and everyone else to the table with a clear mandate — define the future you want, agree actual outcomes, seek governmental authority to implement them. His model: ICANN, the global internet governance body, which disagrees constantly and still makes decisions. Andrew's verdict: Keith wants to create an ICANN for society. Interesting idea. History's jury is out. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter. He is a co-founder of TechCrunch and Andrew's regular TWTW co-host. He holds a PhD from the University of Kent.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the direction of our country. The speaker takes a closer look at a Colorado congressional candidate who's been flying under the radar, but his radical views and actions are anything but subtle. From his time as a Yale law student to his current run for office, this candidate has a history of pushing a far-left agenda that's out of touch with the values of his constituents.This episode delves into the candidate's background, revealing a pattern of behavior that's more about ideology than representation. We explore his connections to prominent progressive politicians, his involvement in radical activism, and his voting record on key issues like healthcare and immigration. The speaker also examines the candidate's claims about his moderate stance on certain issues, questioning whether he's truly committed to representing the people of Colorado or just trying to sell himself as a more palatable alternative.One of the most striking aspects of this candidate's record is his history of pushing a far-left agenda, from suing the EPA over slaughterhouse rules to advocating for a tax on meat, dairy, and eggs. His voting record shows a consistent pattern of supporting policies that benefit special interests and ignore the needs of his constituents. The speaker also highlights the candidate's connections to prominent progressive politicians, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who have praised him by name.If you're concerned about the direction of our country and the kind of politicians we're electing to office, this episode is a must-listen. The speaker takes a closer look at the facts and exposes the candidate's true record, revealing a pattern of behavior that's more about ideology than representation. Tune in to hear the full story and decide for yourself whether this candidate is truly representing the people of Colorado.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Peter Schiff argues the bond market is telling the real story: with $13 trillion in debt maturing this year plus $3 trillion in new borrowing, the US needs to convince creditors to roll over nearly $20 trillion — an amount without historical precedent.The AI CapEx bubble is now consuming a trillion dollars a year, funded by layoffs and foregone investment in actual manufacturing. Schiff compares it to dot-com: the technology is real but the stocks are wildly overvalued and most will go to zero when rising interest rates prick the bubble. Meanwhile, Michael Saylor burned over 60% of Strategy's cash reserves paying off zero-interest convertible notes three years early — a move Schiff says was forced by behind-the-scenes pressure, not financial genius. Elizabeth Warren accidentally made the best case against payroll taxes by pointing out that companies are incentivized to replace workers with AI because hiring people is taxed while buying computers isn't — though her solution is more taxes, not fewer.Chapters:00:00 - Intro00:53 - Iran War & Market Reaction06:47 - Bond Market & The Debt Crisis14:25 - Ad Break: Ethos15:47 - The AI CapEx Bubble26:23 - Gold, Silver & Mining Stocks29:11 - IRS Lawsuit & Bank Documentary32:12 - Ad Break: Rockwell Automation33:35 - Elizabeth Warren's AI Tax Proposal47:28 - Strategy, Bitcoin & The Coming Bust57:25 - Tokenized Gold vs Bitcoin58:42 - Summer Sign-Off & 250th AnniversaryFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #DebtCrisis #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Sen. Elizabeth Warren's recent tirade against private equity is a libelous set of dishonest manure that should be treated as seriously as any attempt to broadly demonize private equity these days, which is not at all. Whether the Senator's problem is intellectual or just in telling the truth, she is wrong in so many ways that today's Capital Record gives us a chance to set the record straight. You will be better off for hearing it, which is never true when one listens to today's private equity critics. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
