The Maine Senate race was rocked this month when revelations about the Democratic frontrunner Graham Platner threatened to completely upend the Democratic primary to select a candidate to try to unseat Susan Collins. Jen Psaki had Platner back on The Briefing to ask him directly about past offensive internet comments, a tattoo identified as being associated with Nazism and the state of his campaign in the wake of a tumultuous month.Graham Platner, an upstart outsider who appears to still be leading the Democratic primary race for a chance to unseat Maine's Republican Senator Susan Collins, talks with Jen Psaki about weathering scandal on the campaign trail and succeeding as a Democratic candidate despite considerable resistance from powerful figures within the Democratic Party.

Today we're welcoming Spencer Wood, known as the Real Estate Cowboy, who's calling in from inside his geodesic dome in Kingfield, Maine. Spencer has been living in a camper on his 10-acre property for nearly four years while building this unique structure—and he's still mid-build, which makes this conversation particularly valuable. While most guests come on after their projects are complete with polished success stories, Spencer shares the raw reality of being in the thick of it, wrestling with the tension between wanting to launch and make money versus honoring the vision that's been a decade in the making.What makes Spencer's story compelling is how it challenges conventional real estate wisdom. He didn't research the rental market or create a business plan—he simply wanted to build something different in a place he loves. After playing football at the University of Maine, he fell in love with the state and built an unconventional real estate career with 80,000 YouTube subscribers, selling 90% of his listings through video alone. Now he applies that same alternative thinking to his own build, choosing a 24-foot geodesic dome with marine vinyl exterior and a 14-foot window overlooking the Carrabassett River. We explore why tiny and alternative builds aren't always cheaper than traditional construction, the basics of land buying that nobody teaches you (like perc tests and road maintenance), and Spencer's side business Acres of Maine, where he buys land directly from owners and offers financing to keep property accessible for Mainers. He also shares his philosophy on living small—from his years on a boat in Portland to his current camper setup—and why he believes Maine is "the Alaska of the East Coast" for people seeking opportunity and freedom. Whether you're mid-build yourself and need to hear from someone in the trenches, considering alternative housing options, or dreaming about finding your own piece of Maine, this conversation offers honest perspective on choosing passion over perfection and building something truly unique.Instagram: @spencerwwoodBooking Site: https://www.lifestylepropertiesofmaine.com/realestate/agent/spencer-wood/ Instagram: @cozyrockcabin Cozy Rock Cabin: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311027Cozy Camp Sebec: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311051 Cozy Rock Website: http://www.staycozycabin.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_FgMwAgvORd1IwlH1nlC9g

He was a co-founder of the Global Network when it was created in 1992. Between 1983–1998 he was the State Coordinator of the Florida Coalition for Peace & Justice and has worked on space issues for over 40 years. In 1987 he organized the largest peace protest in Florida history when over 5,000 people marched on Cape Canaveral in opposition to the first flight test of the Trident II nuclear missile. Bruce was the organizer of the Cancel Cassini Campaign (NASA launched 72 pounds of plutonium into space in 1997) that drew enormous support and media coverage around the world and was featured on the TV program 60 Minutes. Bruce has traveled to and spoken in England, Germany, Mexico, Canada, France, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Japan, Australia, Scotland, Wales, Greece, India, Brazil, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Czech Republic, South Korea, Sicily, Ukraine, Russia, Nepal and throughout the U.S. He has also spoken on many college campuses including: Loyola University, Drake University, Syracuse University, Cornell University, University of Michigan, Cal Poly State University, University of Pittsburgh, California Institute of Technology, University of Oregon, University of Alaska Anchorage, Marquette University, Brown University, University of Florida, Dalhousie University (Nova Scotia), University of London, Bradford University (UK), and the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (India). Project Censored (from Sonoma State University, CA) named a story on space weaponization by Bruce as the 8th Most Censored story in 1999.

Bruce has been featured by artist Robert Shetterly in his collection of portraits and quotes entitled Americans Who Tell the Truth. In 2006 he was the recipient of the Dr. Benjamin Spock Peacemaker Award. He initiated the Maine Campaign to Bring Our War $$ Home in 2009 that spread to other New England states and beyond. This campaign makes the important connections between endless war spending and fiscal crisis throughout the U.S. In 2013 he helped organize the passage of a drone bill in the Maine state legislature that requires police to obtain warrants before they can spy on the public. The bill was vetoed by the governor. His articles have appeared in publications like: Earth Island Journal, National Catholic Reporter, Asia Times,

Tara breaks down the seismic shifts in U.S. politics and culture, from Mike Johnson's warnings about the collapse of the Democratic Party to the shocking funding of illegal immigrant healthcare at the expense of rural Americans. Highlighting radical candidates like Zoran Mamdani and extreme Democratic primary contenders in Maine, Tara examines how socialist agendas are reshaping local politics. She also explores cultural moments, like Sydney Sweeney potentially becoming the next Bond girl, as a symbol of conservative resilience in a once-hostile Hollywood. Plus, Tara uncovers how $200 billion in taxpayer money is being spent on illegal immigrant healthcare while rural hospitals are left underfunded, revealing a government increasingly disconnected from its citizens.
TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8332EFFETTI DEL POLIAMORE: TRE UOMINI ADOTTANO UNA BAMBINA DI 3 ANNI di Francesca Romana Poleggi In Quebec una bambina di 3 anni è stata data in adozione a una "troppia", un trio di uomini conviventi, "poliamorosi".Per ora sono legalmente riconosciuti genitori della piccola solo due dei tre, ma già è in corso una causa tesa a riconoscere la triplice genitorialità dei tre adottanti.Questa è la conseguenza di una sentenza della Corte Superiore canadese pronunciata all'inizio di quest'anno, che ha affermato che i bambini possono avere più di due "genitori" legali, per non "discriminare" i bambini "multigenitoriali" che così possano godere degli stessi diritti e tutele di quelli delle famiglie con due soli genitori.La multigenitorialità viene riconosciuta oltre che in Canada, in diversi Stati federati Usa (California, Maine, Vermont, Washington State (D.C. di Washington), Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia), in Brasile, Argentina, Colombia.Sempre nel "miglior interesse del minore". Spesso la pratica è cominciata grazie alla fecondazione artificiale (quando anche i venditori di gameti vogliono essere presenti nella vita del figlio). Poi si è estesa a tutti i conviventi che vantano in qualche modo il "diritto" ad avere un figlio.La sentenza ha suscitato un acceso dibattito, che deve però fare i conti con il problema della libertà di parola e religione. A parlare di morale su sesso e matrimonio, in Canada, si rischia di essere accusati di "promozione volontaria dell'odio".Altre province canadesi come Ontario, Terranova e Labrador, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, e anche lo Yukon, hanno già, in varia misura, legalizzato le unioni poliamorose. Del resto, di "troppie" e di promozione del poliamore si parla già da 10 anni almeno. Non solo in Canada, ma anche in Brasile, in Thailandia, in Spagna, in USA (in alcune città del Massachusetts) vengono registrate le unioni "di gruppo" (domestic partnership) tra più di due adulti. In Colombia è stato riconosciuto il diritto alla pensione di reversibilità in una "famiglia poliamorosa". Non si tratta (ancora) di vero e proprio matrimonio civile tra tre o più persone (di sesso vario o simile; quindi è cosa diversa dalla poligamia, dove c'è un uomo maschio con più mogli femmine, tipica dell'Islam), ma siamo sulla "buona" strada.Che il "matrimonio" gay sia stato l'inizio dello sdoganamento delle più varie e fantasiose forme di convivenza si diceva da sempre. "Ma se lo fanno "loro", per "noi", che male c'è?", pontificavano gli illuminati.Giuseppina La Delfa, Fondatrice ed ex presidente di Famiglie Arcobaleno era stata invece molto chiara: «La scienza - la psicologia, l'antropologia, la pedopsichiatria - e anche la sociologia e il diritto ormai» dimostrano che i bambini crescono bene non solo nella "famiglia arcobaleno" ma anche all'intero di "famiglie" composte da una pluralità di genitori: «non importa - assicura La Delfa - se questi siano uno, due o diciotto». Sarà facile anche trovare qualche "scienziato" che approvi l'affidamento di bambini a gruppi dediti al poliamore (per esempio la psichiatria Nanette Gartrell): arriveranno presto o tardi le pubblicazioni "scientifiche" in supporto.Che la famiglia sia una sola - quella fra un uomo e una donna uniti in matrimonio - è una verità data dalla ragione naturale. Ogni mediazione, ogni compromesso, a cominciare dalle unioni civili, vale a far diventare "diritto" quello che è solo capriccio e - nella migliore delle ipotesi - sentimento. Se "love is love", bisogna accettare tutto, se non conta il genere, non conta neanche il numero. E il principio di uguaglianza non si può violare.Chi pensa a una famiglia numerosa, pensa - per esempio - a una famiglia con 4 o 5 figli? Roba vecchia. Roba arcaica e stereotipata. Anche un po' omofoba o quanto meno patriarcale ed eterosessista. Oggi le nuove "famiglie" numerose, quelle che meritano rispetto, tutela sociale e considerazione legale, che vanno prese a modello per le nuove generazioni, hanno magari un solo figlio, ma ben 5 genitori. Come nel caso che abbiamo riportato su questo portale anni fa di due donne e tre uomini olandesi che hanno avuto un bambino: 5 genitori con uguali diritti e responsabilità, tutto a "beneficio" del piccolo. Per i bambini, in fin dei conti, vale il detto più siamo meglio stiamo, no?
In 1656, Croatian stonemason Jure Grando was buried alive after defying powerful monks, only to rise from his grave and terrorize his village for sixteen years—knocking on doors that meant death would soon follow, violating his widow night after night, and when villagers finally opened his coffin in 1672, they found him grinning with tears streaming down his face, immune to wooden stakes, screaming as they sawed through his neck in what became Europe's first documented case of vampirism.Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEIN THIS EPISODE: Before Dracula ever set foot in Transylvania, the village of Kringa, Croatia, was haunted by Jure Grando—the first recorded vampire in European history. For sixteen years, his undead reign brought terror to the living and torment to his widow. But when the villagers finally rose against him, they unearthed a horror beyond imagination. (Jure Grando: The First Vampire) *** For nearly a millennium, a monstrous black dog with eyes like burning coals has stalked the foggy coastlines and ancient churches of East Anglia, leaving death and terror in its silent wake. From its first recorded appearance in 1127 where it led a spectral hunting party through Peterborough, to its most infamous attack in 1577 when it allegedly killed four churchgoers, the creature known as Black Shuck has become far more than just another ghost story. Through centuries of sightings and evolving folklore, this massive demon hound has transformed from a Viking guardian spirit into one of Britain's most enduring legends - one that some locals insist still prowls the shadows of Norfolk and Suffolk to this day. (Black Shuck: East Anglia's Demon Hound) *** In 1857 London, the Bacon family's home became the center of supernatural chaos when mysterious sounds and flying objects drew crowds of over a thousand spectators to their modest Bermondsey residence. But when thirteen-year-old Caroline confessed to creating the ghostly disturbances using strands of hair to topple objects, her deception was revealed as an act of rebellion against her father and new stepmother. This tale of a fake haunting offers a poignant glimpse into Victorian family dynamics and the desperate measures one girl took to assert her independence. (The Bermondsey Poltergeist) *** In October 1975, what began as a late-night drive for two young men in rural Maine turned into an encounter that would haunt them forever. David Stephens had no memory of being taken aboard a massive UFO by mushroom-headed beings until months later, when hypnosis sessions revealed the terrifying truth about the hours he lost that night – an experience so profound that it would drive his friend Glen to flee the state and change both their lives forever. (Night of the Mushroom Men) *** Could the Moon's perfect positioning—exactly 400 times smaller than the Sun and precisely placed for total eclipses—be more than cosmic coincidence? Authors Christopher Knight and Alan Butler propose a mind-bending theory: that future humans (or their advanced robots) traveled back in time 4.6 billion years to construct the Moon, creating the exact conditions needed for life on Earth to emerge. Their provocative hypothesis suggests we might be caught in an infinite loop, with humanity traveling to the past to ensure its own creation, much like the ancient symbol of Ouroboros—a snake eternally consuming its own tail.

The democrat AG candidate for Virginia who wished death to a Republican colleague and his children got a nice slap on the wrist after driving recklessly. Jay Jones was busted 2 years ago for going 116 in a 70 but got only community service... at his OWN nonprofit. Scott Jennings on the Nazi tattoo guy running as a democrat senate candidate in Maine triggers the progressive panel. Joe Manchin describes the well-funded pressure campaign that terrorized him during his controversial NO vote on the Build Back Better monstrosity. It's about blackmail and bribery.
Tom Bevan, co-founder and executive editor of RealClearPolitics, joined The Guy Benson Show today to break down the off-year elections shaping the political landscape, including key gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. Bevan explained why the New Jersey governor's race is surprisingly competitive, with Republican Jack Ciattarelli gaining serious momentum in a state long considered safely blue, and why that rightward trend should worry Democrats. Turning to Virginia, Bevan analyzed the tight races there, noting that Attorney General Jason Miyares looks poised for a potential win over Democrat Jay Jones, even as the governor's seat may slip back toward the Democrats. Bevan also discussed the turmoil in Maine's Democratic Senate primary, where candidate Platner appears to be losing traction fast following a scandal involving a Nazi tattoo.

Fellow writer and mother of adult children, Michele Morin, talks about modeling who God is for our children as our greatest legacy. Mother of four grown boys-now-men with families of their own, I love how Michele trusts God for each new season of her life, even a season with a chronic illness included. You will be blessed with tons of practical wisdom today as we talk about how we deal with unanswered prayers and questions and try not to catastrophize every little thought that comes into our brains. Some gems from our convo: We make the mistake of defining God's goodness by how he answers our prayers—or not. I used to have to "send myself to my room" for a time-out so I could do some much-needed attitude adjustment. I had to learn that making a good life for a family I loved was exactly where and what God wanted me to do and be. Never forget that we are modeling for our kids what God is like. Only a free person has the privilege of rest. Chronic disease helps me stay present to today's work rather than projecting and catastrophizing what may lay ahead. We tend to put our hope in our prayers instead of God himself which can make what we pray for an idol. To lean into God's goodness on a daily basis helps to keep our walk with God fresh and not rote. Michele is the author of over 8 YouVersion Bible Reading devotionals which you can find HERE. She's a regular contributor at DesiringGod.com. Because “the way we live our days will be, after all, the way we live our lives,” you are invited to peruse Michele's writing on her website here at your leisure. michelemorin.net Michele Morin is a reader, writer, speaker, and gardener who does life with her family on a country hill in Maine. She has been married to an unreasonably patient husband for thirty years, and together they have four sons, four daughters-in-love, and five adorable grandchildren. Active in educational ministries with her local church, Michele delights in sitting at a table surrounded by women with open Bibles. She loves hot tea and well-crafted sentences, poems that stop her in her tracks, and days at the ocean with the whole family. She laments biblical illiteracy and advocates for the prudent use of “little minutes.”
End the filibuster or end the farce! Republicans can end this whole dramatic shutdown by eliminating the filibuster and getting things done! Antifa, what happened to them in Portland? If you ask the legacy media, they never really existed. Nazi! A label, liberals have used often to describe conservatives, but now a frontrunner for the democratic nomination for the US Senate seat in Maine literally has a Nazis tattoo but the Dems are full force in supporting him. Plus, we review the socialist rally in New York, the ballroom drama, the NFL, and gambling bust.
Fog curls over jagged granite and the tide keeps its own secrets—Maine feels like a place where myth, memory, and menace overlap. We head straight for that seam, weaving the state's stark coastline and Wabanaki dawns into a guided tour of folklore, and true crime. Along the way we reckon with names that linger in the record—Mary Cohen, Constance Margaret Fisher, Malcolm Robbins Jr.—and the ways geography, isolation, and community pressure turn ordinary towns into pressure cookers. Then we pivot to the most improbable nexus of all...
In this meaningful and thought-provoking episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, cohosts Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin invite you into an intimate conversation about what it truly means to choose life before it's too late. Inspired by the timeless reflections of Bronnie Ware's The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, the Laurels explore the lessons that surface when we pause to consider how we're really living. Together, they unpack powerful themes — the courage to be your authentic self, creating balance beyond work, expressing your true feelings, nurturing relationships, and allowing yourself to experience happiness and joy. As the veil thins between worlds this late October, the conversation takes on a soulful tone — one that gently encourages reflection, closure, and new beginnings. With humor, compassion, and grounded wisdom, Laurel and Laurel remind us that inner work is life work… and it's never too late to begin again. Tune in to explore: The five most common regrets of the dying — and how to live without them Why authenticity, balance, and emotional expression are keys to fulfillment Simple journaling prompts to help you reflect and realign How to invite more happiness, creativity, and meaning into your everyday life As you listen, you might just find the inspiration to take one small step toward the life you most want to live. ******** The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing, by Bronnie Ware I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. I wish I hadn't worked so hard. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. I wish that I had let myself be happier. Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. Do I have the friendships I wish I had? Am I devoting time to those friendships? What keeps me from being authentically me? In what areas of my life am I struggling to show up authentically? What are I doing that doesn't feel like my true self, and who am I doing it for? What role am I playing, and who assigned me that role? How can I still work hard but not miss out on my lifetime—the memory making and the relationships? How can I honor the work that I'm doing so that I can provide for my family and contribute to the world in a way that feels good, without sacrificing other important things? What do I wish that I had said to the people in my life that I haven't said yet? Do I feel like I would have any of these regrets if tomorrow I found out I only had another week to live?

Send us a textFog hangs low, headlights cut thin ribbons through the dark, and somewhere ahead a line of red taillights refuses to be caught. We lean into the season with a Halloween ride that blends ghost stories, travel mishaps, aviation quirks, and a surprising amount of laughter from two cyclists who prize the journey as much as the destination.We kick off with Moonlight Mayhem bourbon, a yard-turned-graveyard, and a Florida trip that delivered 12-mile theme-park days and a front-row view of a Spirit Airlines plane getting impounded. From there, we talk towers, old-school air traffic tools that still run high-stakes skies, and the quiet competence that keeps travelers safe. Our Rants of Dissatisfaction pull no punches: language-targeted ads in the wrong place, a contractor who waited eleven empty days to start, and TV's most unrealistic prop—the weightless coffee cup.Then the hauntings roll in. Meet Larry, the red-Huffy rider of Randolph, Maine, who vanished without a trace and, some say, still cruises the old rail trail as orbs drift between the pines. A Devon mansion yields a Victorian figure watching a child cycling below, while a cliffside speakeasy's famed Blue Lady is exposed as an engineered hoax complete with moving chandeliers. Charleston's former bicycle shop, now a student health center, brings chills with neatly stacked books found on the floor at dawn. And the centerpiece: the WWI ghost cyclist reported by both trenches, silently crossing No Man's Land—an image every rider understands in their bones.We thank our VIP supporters, drop fresh listener spotlight clues, and tease the much-loved Cyclist Christmas List packed with road-tested gear, safety picks, and a few wildcards. Stick around for our original campfire tale, The Phantom Peloton, a modern myth about GPS loops, misty roads, and the whispered command every pack depends on: hold your line.Love the ride?

Episode 4877: Jack Smith Should Testify Publicly; Antifa On The Ballot In Maine
October 25 2025; 8am: There is no movement in sight on Capitol Hill as Republicans continue their strategy to stay home to avoid ending the standoff. Meanwhile, Americans at multiple agencies experienced their first missed paycheck and millions are about to lose access to food aid. Sandy Swett, Executive Director of Harrison Food Bank in Harrison, Maine, April Goggans, a furloughed federal worker and President of the National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 250, and Congressman James Walkinshaw of Virginia join “The Weekend” to discuss.

Along the way we talk about what makes a change of mind and heart persuasive, how grace comes to us in our struggles, if Platner is Fetterman 2.0, and the class dimension of all these debates, and finally close with a relatively hopeful take on the "No Kings" protests last weekend.Sources:Jason Beeferman and Emily Ngo, "'I Love Hitler': Leaked Messages Expose Young Republicans' Racist Chat," Politico, Oct 14, 2025Julianne McShane, “No One in the GOP Hitler Chat Was a ‘Kid': We checked.

Graham Platner fancies himself a working class Maine, but more information is coming out and it's proving more and more that he's anything but. Then, Letitia James was in court yesterday and more information is coming out about her family full of criminals.

This Graham Platner saga just keeps delivering. Every time I think we've hit the ceiling on oppo drops, the elevator dings and we're in a whole new suite of controversy. It's not that the content was entirely new in tone. We've already seen him refer to himself as an Antifa supersoldier and admit to having an SS tattoo (which, to his credit, he covered up). But the latest batch of Reddit posts that surfaced added a thick layer of ugly homophobia. Explicit posts. Graphic anecdotes. And not from his teenage years or during some misunderstood youthful rebellion. These posts span several years, even continuing into the Biden administration.I've always said that if you're running as an outsider candidate, having some skeletons in your closet isn't necessarily a bad thing. It can actually help. Nobody expects a populist outsider to be perfect. The electorate doesn't want a robot. They want someone who talks like them, even if it means sometimes saying the wrong thing. And even as Platner tests the outer limits of that rule, here's the twist: the polling. A new University of New Hampshire poll of likely voters in Maine had Platner at 58 percent. That's not just a lead. That's a blowout. Janet Mills is at 24 percent. If those numbers hold up, then Chuck Schumer and company are right to be panicking.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Still, Platner's campaign has been running scared. Apology videos. Zoom interviews. Carefully worded statements about how he doesn't think that way anymore. But from where I sit, this guy is doing everything but what he should. If I were advising his campaign, I'd be yelling: go on offense. The proper response to all of this should be simple — I deleted the posts before you ever knew my name. I deleted them because they didn't reflect who I am anymore. That's growth. That's accountability. And that's all anyone should expect. Instead, we get these soft, hedged statements. You're not going to convince anyone that you're the perfect candidate — stop trying.What kills me is how obvious the pressure is from the Democratic establishment. You can feel Chuck Schumer's fingerprints all over this. They're running the classic drip-drip-drip strategy, hoping to humiliate Platner into dropping out. But if you're Platner — and especially if you believe those polling numbers — why would you flinch? Schumer and Mills are the ones who should be sweating. They've failed to unseat Susan Collins time and time again. They trot out the same kind of “perfect” candidate every cycle and lose. And now, when someone is actually running strong in the polls, they're scrambling to blow it all up.I'm not defending what Platner posted. It was gross. And people are right to be upset. But this is a high-stakes game, and the voters of Maine seem willing to give him a shot. The question now is whether Platner will take the opportunity and run with it — or keep playing defense while the party machine steamrolls him. Personally, I'm tired of watching him take these hits and not swing back. I've been saying it all week. If you want to win, you have to punch. You can't win a Senate seat on your heels. So please, for the love of political strategy — say their names, take their power, and act like you're trying to win this damn thing.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:19 - Graham Platner00:17:55 - Update00:18:57 - SNAP00:21:40 - White House East Wing00:28:36 - Beef Prices00:31:08 - Interview with Juliegrace Brufke00:59:39 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

The fellas are reveling in the Democratic Party's absolute chaos, starting with the government shutdown. Anonymous Democratic senators confess they would vote to reopen the government but are "terrified of getting the guillotine" from the deranged grassroots—a direct admission that their base is driving the insanity. The Civil War's second front is a primary race for a chance to challenge Susan Collins in Maine, and it is a certified freak show. Chuck Schumer's establishment candidate, an ancient, unrelatable governor, is facing off against a Bernie bro who called himself an "Antifa super soldier." Maybe Graham Platner would get further in politics with less 1942 SS tattoos. Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the aggressive, transformational change happening at the Army. Driscoll doesn't hold back, detailing the utter waste of taxpayer money caused by decades of calcified bureaucracy, like how the Army pays double for chicken because of an absurd 1930s mandate. He explains how he and the Chief of Staff are cutting $48 billion in expected spending to prioritize the modern warfighter, focusing on next-generation technology, and why President Trump's “peace through strength” approach and air cover have been vital to these efforts. 00:00 - Government Shutdown Drama: "Guillotine" Fear06:06 - Shutdown as Virginia Strategy09:50 - Merkley's 15-Hour Yawn-Fest & Katherine Clark's "Leeeverage" Gaffe16:10 - Maine Senate Primary: Nazi Tattoos, Antifa Soldiers, and the Establishment's Pick44:48 - King of the Hill: George Conway vs. Sarah Longwell58:33 - Secretary of the Army Dan DriscollOur Sponsors:➢Tell Republicans in Congress stop Dick Durbin's takeover of your credit card before it's too late - https://electronicpaymentscoalition.org/➢Big tax-exempt hospitals abuse the 340B markup program, tell congress to fix 340B.https://phrma.org/340Bmarkup➢Find out the true power of America's oil and natural gas.
