On this special Labor Day edition of Mining the Media, G.K. and Dave start off with dessert — talking college and NFL football as the season kicks into high gear. From there, the conversation heats up as they tackle international tensions between the United States and Venezuela's illegitimate leader, President Nicolás Maduro. Then the guys switch gears. Dave takes a deep dive into the disturbing defense of the transgender shooter who attacked a Minneapolis Catholic school, pointing out the lunacy of Mayor Jacob Frey's flip-flop on prayer in response. Dave explains that this isn't merely about lust for power or Trump Derangement Syndrome — it's about the Left's worldview. Understanding that worldview is the only way to make sense of their otherwise inexplicable positions.

Ralph welcomes constitutional scholar, John Bonifaz, co-founder and president of the group “Free Speech for People,” which has launched the non-partisan campaign “Impeach Trump. Again.” Plus, Ralph, Steve, and David discuss Donld Trump's servile corporatist agenda and his attempt to rig the midterms by ordering Texas to gerrymander him five more districts.John Bonifaz is a constitutional attorney and the co-founder and president of Free Speech For People. Mr. Bonifaz previously served as the executive director and general counsel of the National Voting Rights Institute, and as the legal director of Voter Action. In 2004, Mr. Bonifaz wrote the book Warrior-King: The Case For Impeaching George W. Bush.We either have a constitution,or we don't. We either have an impeachment clause, or we don't. If we're not going to invoke the impeachment power at this critical moment in our nation's history, then we might as well say we're giving up on the Constitution. We refuse to give up on the Constitution.John BonifazI think the biggest thing that we have to deal with are the naysayers. Those who somehow claim that we're not going to invoke the impeachment power because either it's not the right time, or he's already been impeached twice and what's the point or we just need to move on.John BonifazThese are high crimes against the state. These are not policy disputes. These are political high crimes against the state, for which you must be held accountable via the impeachment process.John BonifazI think it's disgraceful for any member who claims that they're out there defending the Constitution and defending our democracy, and yet they won't even want to mention the "I- word”. As much as I respect them on other fronts and what they do, if they're not invoking the impeachment clause at this critical hour, frankly, they're part of the problem.John BonifazNews 8/29/25* In an interview on “Hamakor” or “The Source” on Israel's Channel 13, former Biden State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu told former Secretary of State Antony Blinken that he planned to continue fighting in Gaza for decades, per the Middle East Eye. Other revelations in this interview include behind the scenes accounts of ceasefire negotiations, such as a story about Netanyahu blowing up a proposed six-week ceasefire with his declaration that Israel would invade Rafah “whether there was a ceasefire or not,” according to the Times of Israel. It is disgraceful that Miller and the Biden administration kept this information from the public at the time, but better late than never.* A new report in the Chronicle of Higher Education reveals that, “Hundreds of pages of previously unseen documents reveal that [Pennsylvania Governor Josh] Shapiro's office was intimately involved in managing the controversy [over the pro-Palestine demonstrations and encampments at the University of Pennsylvania], seizing an unprecedented level of influence over the university in the process.” Through a proxy, a lawyer named Robb Fox, Shapiro “pushed the university to ban Penn Students Against the Occupation of Palestine (PAO), its main pro-Palestinian student group,” and “worked closely with the Penn Israel Public Affairs Committee — a significant pro-Israel group on campus — to a great enough extent that PIPAC effusively thanked Shapiro and Fox for their ‘partnership.'” Shapiro putting his thumb on the scales against pro-Palestine student activism is sure to come back to haunt him if he seeks the presidential nomination in 2028, as many speculate he will.* In more foreign policy related news, investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein reports “The Trump administration has directed the military to prepare for lethal strikes against cartel targets inside Mexico…which are to be ready by mid-September.” This is the latest escalation in Trump's campaign against transnational criminal organizations, or TCOs, but critically, “sources say that military action could be unilateral — that is, without the involvement or approval of the Mexican government.” If so, this would constitute an extremely aggressive act within the sovereign territory of another country. It is unlikely that Mexico would respond with any kind of military action, but diplomatic and economic sanctions would be on the table.* In domestic political news, the Democratic National Committee held a much-anticipated meeting in Minneapolis on Tuesday, featuring dueling resolutions to lay out the party's position on Gaza – one of which called for a “military arms embargo and suspension of military aid to Israel.” As POLITICO reports, “The committee initially voted to reject that measure while advancing…one backed by [DNC Chair Ken] Martin, which called for ‘unrestricted' aid to Gaza and a two-state solution. But soon after the arms embargo vote failed, Martin announced he was withdrawing his successful resolution.” Martin stated “There's a divide in our party on this issue,” and urged Democrats to “keep working through” what their position should be. Allison Minnerly, the progressive Florida delegate who sponsored the more strident resolution, expressed that while she was glad Martin didn't ram through his preferred position, she considered the result “disappointing” when “it's clear what voters want.” According to Gallup, just 8% of Democrats approve of Israel's actions in Gaza.* More Democratic Party division surfaced in Minnesota this week, with Axios reporting that, based on a technicality, the state Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party's rules committee vacated the local DFL's endorsement of democratic socialist mayoral candidate Omar Fateh. Fateh, who has been hailed as the “Mamdani of Minneapolis” won the local party's endorsement in July, which gave him – rather than incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey – exclusive access to the party's voter database. According to this report however, a third candidate was wrongfully eliminated from the endorsement vote process, rendering the endorsement null and void. Fateh's campaign is understandably incensed by this decision and views it as an attempt by the state party to intervene on behalf of Frey. Moreover, Ryan Faircloth of the Star-Tribune reports “the state DFL committee [also] barred the Minneapolis DFL from holding another endorsing convention this year…placed the Minneapolis DFL on probation for two years and said it must be supervised by [the] state DFL executive committee.” Fateh co-campaign manager Graham Faulkner is quoted saying “Our campaign sees this for what it is: disenfranchisement of thousands of Minneapolis caucus-goers and the delegates who represented all of us on convention day…The establishment is threatened by our message…They are scared of a politics that really stands up to corporate interests and with our working class neighbors." Congresswoman Ilhan Omar called the move a “stain on our party.”* In more local politics news, the administration of New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been rocked by yet new corruption indictments. On August 21st, the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, “announced the indictment of INGRID LEWIS-MARTIN for accepting more than $75,000 in bribes…in a wide-ranging series of bribery conspiracies …while serving as Chief Advisor to the Mayor of the City of New York.” Lewis-Martin was previously charged in an alleged bribery conspiracy totaling more than $100,000 in December 2024. This new indictment is related to Lewis-Martin accepting bribes in exchange for favorable treatment by city agencies, including “help[ing] fast-track permit approvals for a karaoke bar in Queens,” and “hav[ing] the New York City Department of Transportation…withdraw its approval for a street redesign of McGuinness Boulevard in Brooklyn, which would have included new, protected bike lanes.” For the latter, Lewis-Martin allegedly received a speaking role on the television show Godfather of Harlem. This indictment further cements the comically corrupt reputation of the Eric Adams administration.* In more news of possible corruption, Unusual Whales, which tracks congressional stock trading, reported on August 19th that Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott just disclosed trades worth $26,000,000 more than a year late, noting that Scott “traded millions on companies he legislated.” Scott, one of Trump's closest allies in the Senate, previously served as CEO of Columbia/HCA, the largest for-profit healthcare company in the nation in the 1990s. He was forced to resign in 1997, when the Department of Justice won 14 felony convictions against the company and imposed a $1.7 billion fine, the largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history up to that point.* Moving on to consumer news, the Federal Trade Commission has filed a lawsuit against “LA Fitness and other gyms over allegations they make it exceedingly difficult for consumers to cancel their gym memberships.” The agency is “seeking a court order prohibiting the allegedly unfair conduct and money back for consumers harmed by the difficulty in cancelling memberships.” This lawsuit is related to the FTC's “click to subscribe/call to cancel” rule, but these gyms go far beyond requiring customers to merely call to cancel their memberships. As the FTC explains, “LA Fitness has required consumers who want to cancel their membership to either go to the gym itself or send a cancellation notice by mail,” and they make both processes as difficult as possible. For instance, “consumers who tried to cancel in person…could only cancel with one specific employee, even though LA Fitness authorized several employees to sign consumers up for memberships. This restricted cancellation hours to times when consumers are typically at work, despite most locations operating up to 19 hours per day, seven days per week.” These kinds of mundane degradations are far too common throughout the economy and the only thing that will force companies to treat their customers with the respect they are due is regulatory action.* Our last two stories concern lawsuits against Amazon. First, Law360 reports a federal judge has ordered Amazon to disclose information “regarding the company's alleged ties to antitrust researchers.” In a series of antitrust cases, Amazon's “expert economists” have cited “various academic authors,” about whom the plaintiffs “have presented records suggest[ing Amazon] ‘has communicated with or funded.'” This includes “antitrust research by economists, scholars and think tanks that [were] ‘funded, solicited or edited' by the company.” This decision could prove to be momentous if it turns out that Amazon funding of antitrust research has been as deep and widespread as some believe. As the Lever's Luke Goldstein puts it, “Grifters are on notice. Clock is ticking.”* Finally, the Hollywood Reporter is out with a story on a proposed class action lawsuit against Amazon, filed in Washington Friday, over a “‘bait and switch' in which the company allegedly misleads consumers into believing they've purchased content when they're only getting a license to watch, which can be revoked at any time.” Essentially, this lawsuit revolves around the fact that despite marketing “purchases” of movies on their platform, these “purchases” can actually be revoked at any time if Amazon loses the rights to the film. This is also a case of a “fine print” contract; as this story notes, “On its website and platform, the company tells consumers they can ‘buy' a movie. But hidden in a footnote on the confirmation page is fine print that says, ‘You receive a license to the video and you agree to our terms.'” This issue has previously arisen with regard to video games, spawning the so-called “Stop Killing Games” movement which seeks to prevent companies from “destroying titles consumers had already bought.” California has responded to that movement by passing a law “barring the advertisement of a transaction as a ‘purchase' unless it offers unrestricted ownership of the product.” Amazon will surely deploy an army of lawyers to fight this case, but for the time being at least, the momentum is on the side of the consumers for once. We can only hope for their victory.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

A mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school leaves two children dead and 17 others injured, with investigators probing the suspect's anti-Christian writings and ties to the community. Mayor Jacob Frey and progressive commentators deflect anger over the attack by criticizing Christians and dismissing prayer. Prosecutors and sheriffs outline their evidence against the Haros, deny reports of a jailhouse confession, and say they are confident in securing a conviction even if they are unable to locate the body. Facing historic lows in favorability, Democrats weigh an unusual national convention ahead of the 2026 midterms to boost fundraising and media attention. All Family Pharmacy: Order now at https://allfamilypharmacy.com/MEGYN and save 10% with code MEGYN10Lean: Visit https://brickhousenutrition.com use code LABORDAY25 for 25% off!

Two children were murdered and 17 others injured in a horrific Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis. The killer, Robin Westman, left behind a manifesto filled with antisemitic hate, “Free Palestine” slogans, and “Kill Trump” notes scrawled on gun magazines. The mayor immediately pivoted to defending transgender ideology and pushing gun control, rather than confronting the disturbing patterns behind these crimes. Today on the Wake Up America Show with Austin Petersen:

Jon offers criticism of comments from leadership on the left in wake of the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, including Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, and DNC members.

It's the day after a horrific tragedy in our community. Chad will be bouncing back and forth between conversation grappling with what we experienced yesterday and our normally scheduled State Fair programming. First, a visit with Matt LLoyd (newly promoted General Manager of the Timberwolves) to kick off the first hour of the The Chad Hartman Show. Chad comes to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey's defense about “thoughts and prayers aren't enough”. Chad is joined by Congresswoman Angie Craig. Chad starts the conversation with what stood out most to her yesterday when she attended the candlelight vigil held in the community that's suffering so heavily. Congresswoman Craig opens up about processing what happened through her lens as a grandmother. She then expands into her stance on banning assault rifles in our country and other pieces of legislation targeting gun violence that she's involved in on the Hill.

*Air Date: August 27, 2025* *Hosts: Sam Whitfield, @BlameMaxSand, and Mortheous* *Platform: Available Live on KickStreaming & Spotify*In this hard-hitting episode of *The Whitfield Report*, Sam Whitfield teams up with @BlameMaxSand and Mortheous to dissect the chilling anti-Catholic hate and radical transgender influences behind the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on August 27, 2025. The panel delves into the actions of 23-year-old transgender shooter Robin Westman, who identified as a woman and opened fire through church windows during a morning Mass, killing two children—8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and a 10-year-old—and injuring 17 others, including 14 children and three elderly adults. Westman, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, left behind a trail of disturbing writings and social media posts, including reverence for other mass shooters, anti-Semitic rants like "Jew gas" scrawled on weapons, threats to "Kill Donald Trump," calls to "Nuke India" and "Israel Must Fall," and expressions of wanting to "watch children suffer."Focusing on the anti-Catholic elements, the discussion examines why Westman targeted a Catholic church during Mass, suggesting deep-seated hatred toward the faith amid broader societal tensions. They also tackle the radical transgender agenda, highlighting how Westman's identity fits into a pattern of trans-related violence that has sparked national debate, with critics labeling it "trans-terrorism" and pointing to mental health issues amplified by ideological pushes. @BlameMaxSand draws from online community insights on radicalization, while Mortheous critiques cultural and policy enablers. The conversation challenges mainstream narratives, exploring how these elements intersect with gun access, political rhetoric, and calls for reform from figures like Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey.This unflinching dialogue urges listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about hate, identity politics, and prevention. All injured children are expected to survive, but the attack's ideological roots demand scrutiny.Tune in live on KickStreaming at https://t.co/kLMENx8AKB or listen later on Spotify.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara and Mayor Jacob Frey say a strategy to prevent homeless encampments from forming is working. Police have closed 17 encampments since implementing a so-called special order in January, according to an email update from the city. Chief O'Hara said in a recent LinkedIn post that there are now “zero significant encampments” in the city and that the policy has reduced crime in south Minneapolis. A government dashboard of active encampments showed there were 15 as of Tuesday with 27 residents total. MPR News host Nina Moini talks with Chief O'Hara about what police are doing differently.

The Minneapolis City Council this morning overrode Mayor Jacob Frey's veto of a plan to pursue a pedestrian-only plaza at George Floyd Square, and Red Wing Public Schools canceled a Black History Month event where Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison was scheduled to speak.Those stories and more in today's evening update.

The city of Minneapolis and U.S. Department of Justice have tentatively agreed on a consent decree that could mandate extensive police reforms, sources confirmed to MPR News on Tuesday.The anticipated federal consent decree follows a DOJ investigation that concluded the Minneapolis Police Department used excessive and unjustified deadly force and discriminated against Black and Native residents. The city has been under a state-level settlement agreement since 2023.If the agreement is finalized, Minneapolis would be the first city in the nation bound to both state and federal consent decrees, mandating court-enforceable reforms. The city has been under a state-level settlement since 2023.Mayor Jacob Frey has called a special city council meeting Monday to discuss the tentative agreement.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Liz Collin and JC Chaix, producer and director of “The Fall of Minneapolis,” to discuss their new George Floyd documentary and how it will completely change how you think about the case, the mainstream media's false narratives and lies they've pushed about the George Floyd case, the truth about Floyd's erratic behavior the day he died, what new police bodycam footage shows about Floyd that changes the narrative completely, the deterioration of Minneapolis after Floyd's death, the mob being allowed to destroy the police precinct in Minneapolis and the rest of the city, the “void of leadership” from Mayor Jacob Frey and more, why Derek Chauvin never got a fair trial, how the media and the left spun a false George Floyd narrative for years, the failures of the EMTs that haven't gotten attention, the key factor of the Fentanyl in Floyd's system, Derek Chauvin's state of mind now, and more. Then Heather Mac Donald, fellow at the Manhattan Institute, joins to discuss how America was forever changed after the Floyd case, the dangers police officers are facing across the country, how the false Floyd narrative changed policing and increased crime, her recent fiery showdown with Berkeley college students on race and privilege, and more.Collins and Chaix's film: https://www.thefallofminneapolis.com/Mac Donald: https://manhattan.institute/person/heather-mac-donald Follow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow
