Everyone feels insecure. It doesn’t mean you’re weird—it means you’re human. It’s natural to search for affirmation in outside sources, people, or even accomplishments, but when we put our security in anything other than God, we will find ourselves battling insecurity.

Philippians 4:10-19 | YOUR Needs Are Not Bigger Than God's SUPPLYYOU have been measuring YOUR need — and it keeps looking bigger than anything that could meet it.That is where the fear lives. YOU add it up. YOU look at what YOU have against what YOU owe, what YOU need against what is coming in, and the gap looks impossible. And the longer YOU stare at the size of the need, the more convinced YOU become that this is the one thing too big for God to cover. But this passage says YOU have been measuring the wrong thing.Philippians 4 ends with one of the most quoted promises in the entire Bible — and one of the most misunderstood.Because most people hear it as a nice sentiment: God will take care of you. But look at what the promise is actually measured against. It does not say God will supply according to the size of YOUR need. It does not say according to what is realistic, or what is left over, or what makes sense on paper. It says according to a completely different measure — a source so vast that the size of YOUR need becomes almost irrelevant next to it.The supply was never tied to the size of YOUR problem. It is tied to the size of His riches.Here is what most people miss. Before that promise is ever given, the person writing it shares a secret he had to learn — a way of living that most people never discover — that allowed him to be completely steady whether he had everything or almost nothing. He was not writing this from a place of abundance. He was writing it having known real lack. And the secret he learned in those seasons is the exact thing that unlocks the promise for YOU.But there is something else — a specific condition surrounding this promise that most people skip right over.This famous promise of supply was not spoken into a vacuum. It was attached to something specific these people had done — a way they had partnered, participated, and given into the mission of God when no one else would. The promise of "all your needs supplied" came directly on the heels of their willingness to be part of what God was doing. And that connection is the key that most people miss entirely when they claim this verse.There is a link in this passage between what YOU pour out and what God pours back — and between the secret of contentment and the promise of supply — that will completely change the way YOU look at both the need in front of YOU and the riches behind it.What was the secret he learned? What is the supply actually measured against? And what is the condition attached to the promise most people quote but never fully receive?Press play — because YOUR needs are not bigger than God's supply. This message will show YOU what the promise is really measured against, and why the source behind it makes YOUR biggest need look small.
Texas cities are taking over the top of America's housing market rankings. A new WalletHub report names Frisco and McKinney as the two best real estate markets in the country, with four Texas cities landing in the top 10. Meanwhile, major coastal markets including New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco rank near the bottom. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down what's driving Texas to the top, why new construction, job growth and affordability matter, and what real estate investors should look at before jumping into any highly ranked market.

(2 of 2) John the Baptizer's godly purpose, preaching, and perspective always elevated Jesus as the Christ. As a result, John would lose his freedom, popularity, and eventually his life. But how would John look at such a sacrifice? And what should we think about when we observe John's mission and calling? Join guest Jacob McKinney and host Jonathan Edwards as they discuss the three godly P's (purpose, preaching and perspective) of John the Baptist.

Luke 8:1-3 | God Didn't Bring YOU This Far Just to WATCHYOU have been on the receiving end for a long time. God is about to move YOU to the other side of it.YOU know what it is to be helped. YOU have been carried, healed, provided for, rescued more times than YOU can count. And somewhere along the way, without meaning to, YOU settled into the role of the one who receives — watching what God does, grateful for it, but standing on the sidelines of the mission itself. As if YOUR job was to be blessed, and someone else's job was to build. But God did not bring YOU this far just to watch.Luke 8 reveals something about how God works that most people have completely overlooked.There is a detail in this passage that quietly corrects a belief a lot of people hold without ever questioning it. The most powerful ministry that ever walked the earth — one that healed the sick, multiplied food out of nothing, and had the very Son of God at the center of it — was sustained in an ordinary, surprising way. Not by miracles falling from the sky every morning. By people. By ordinary people who had been touched, choosing to give from what they had.Here is what most people miss.God could have provided for that mission any way He wanted. He could have made money appear, made provision fall like rain, removed every need supernaturally. But that is not the pattern He chose. Instead, He moved on the hearts of people whose lives had been changed — and invited them to become part of what He was doing. The very ones who had been healed became the ones who carried the mission forward. What they had received turned them from spectators into partners.And here is the part that will surprise YOU: it was not only about money.Some gave financially. But others gave something else entirely — a home, a meal, a place to stay, an act of service, something practical they already possessed. Across these passages, ordinary people used the ordinary things in their lives — their resources, their homes, their hands, their time — to sustain a move of God. Not one of them did something flashy. But without them, the mission would not have gone forward the way it did. Their part mattered more than they ever knew.That is the truth God wants to settle in YOU. There is a role only YOU can fill in what He is doing right now — and it is built out of exactly what is already in YOUR hands. YOU were not just meant to benefit from the move of God. YOU were meant to be part of it.What was the surprising way the greatest ministry was sustained? What did ordinary people give? And what has God placed in YOUR hands that He is inviting YOU to use for something bigger than YOURSELF?Press play — because God did not bring YOU this far just to watch. This message will show YOU why YOUR part matters, and how the very things already in YOUR life are exactly what God wants to partner with.
Genesis 40:13-23 | What Made YOU Wait… Is Setting Up Something GREATERYOU thought the wait was over — and then it got longer.That is the part that almost broke YOU. It is one thing to wait. It is another thing entirely to think YOUR breakthrough has finally arrived — to see the door crack open, to feel the shift coming — and then watch it slip away and leave YOU exactly where YOU were. Forgotten. Overlooked. Still waiting, after YOU were so sure the waiting was done. And that second stretch of waiting is the one that makes YOU wonder if God forgot about YOU entirely.Genesis 40 ends in exactly that place.Someone had done everything right. He used his gift, helped someone in their moment of need, and did it with excellence and integrity while still stuck in his own hard place. And he made one simple request: when things turn around for you, remember me. It was reasonable. It was deserved. And the person he helped walked straight out into their breakthrough — and completely forgot he existed.The one connection that could have set him free forgot all about him.Here is what most people miss. That forgetting was not a failure of his breakthrough. It was the protection of a much bigger one. Because if he had been remembered right then, he would have gotten a small, quiet exit — a favor, a footnote, freedom through a side door. What the delay was actually doing was holding him in position for a moment that had not arrived yet — a moment so much larger that the early exit would have completely disqualified him from it.The wait was not punishment. It was placement.And there is a specific detail about the timing of what came next — how long the additional wait lasted, and the exact moment his name finally came up again — that reveals something staggering about how God uses delay. He was not forgotten. He was being saved for a door so much bigger than the one that closed that the whole painful wait suddenly made sense in a single moment.Because the thing that made him wait was quietly setting up something greater than the thing he originally asked for.There is a reason God let the first door close. There is a reason the wait got longer right when it should have ended. And once YOU understand what that delay was actually protecting, YOU will stop reading YOUR wait as rejection and start seeing it as preparation for something bigger than what YOU have been asking for.Why did the door close? How long did the wait actually last? And what was the delay setting up that a quick exit would have cost him?Press play — because what made YOU wait is setting up something greater. This message will show YOU why the delay that felt like being forgotten may be the very thing positioning YOU for a door far bigger than the one YOU thought YOU lost.
Genesis 39:19-23 | What Looked Like PUNISHMENT… Became YOUR PROMOTIONYOU are being treated like YOU did something wrong when YOU didn't.That is one of the hardest places to stand. YOU kept YOUR integrity. YOU did the right thing. And instead of being rewarded, YOU got demoted — sent to a lower place, handed a harder season, treated like a punishment that YOU never earned. And everything about it screams that this is the end of YOUR story: unfair, undeserved, and going nowhere but down.Genesis 39 is the passage that redefines that exact moment.Someone had just been thrown into the lowest place available — punished for a crime he never committed, sent to a dungeon on the word of a lie, with no trial, no defense, and no one to speak for him. It was the bottom. By every appearance, it was punishment in its purest form: unjust, humiliating, and final. Anyone looking at his life in that moment would have said God had abandoned him.But something went down into that low place with him.Here is what most people miss. The prison did not become a place of despair. It became a place of rising. In the very location that was meant to bury him, favor found him again. The person in charge began to notice something different about him, and step by step, he was given more and more responsibility — until the one who was thrown in as a prisoner was quietly running the entire place. The punishment had become a position.What looked like the bottom was actually a training ground.Because the skills he built, the trust he earned, and the character that was formed in that low place were the exact things he would need for the enormous thing God was preparing him for next. He did not know it yet, but the prison was not a detour away from his destiny. It was the direct road to it. The demotion was disguised preparation.There is a specific reason everything he touched in that place began to prosper — a single factor named in this passage that had nothing to do with his circumstances and everything to do with what was with him — and once YOU understand what it was, YOU will stop measuring YOUR season by how low it looks and start looking for the thing that followed YOU into it.What went into the prison with him? Why did everything he touched there succeed? And what if the punishment YOU are enduring is actually the promotion YOU have been praying for, in disguise?Press play — because what looked like punishment became a promotion. This message will show YOU why the low place YOU are in may be the exact place God is positioning YOU to rise — and what has to be with YOU for it to happen.
Many of us try to fit our unique nutrition needs into generic, one-size-fits-all diet plans: We follow the rules, hoping the habits stick, but eventually, the momentum fades. Too often, we're left wondering, Why doesn't this work for me? But what if you approached your nutrition differently, building a plan around who you are and what your body needs right now? In this episode, Samantha McKinney, RD, dives into what "personalized nutrition" really looks like, and why factors like your biology, mindset, and daily habits matter so much.

Dr. Gary Frazier is founder and president of Discovery Missions International, an equipping ministry to fulfill the Great Commission. He's a former pastor, a respected preacher on Bible prophecy, and the author of 15 books. All across the country the expansion of Islam is taking place with many communities in dispute about granting authority for the building or expansion of mosques and Islamic Centers. Online reports indicate a 31% increase in the number of mosques in the U.S. since 2010. The states with the heaviest concentration are New York, California and Texas. One of the most recent battles was in McKinney, Texas, where just a couple weeks ago the city council unanimously voted to approve a site plan for a new three-building Islamic Association campus. The community is at odds over this as a recall petition drive is taking hold, recalling these public officials. Gary has looked at what is happening in Texas and across the nation and has called it an Islamic invasion. So don't miss your opportunity to review this broadcast as Gary explains why Islam is growing so rapidly in America, the true goal of the movement, the concept of love and the Qur'an, a stunning testimony from a Sharia survivor, why Islam will never dominate the world, and so much more.

What happens when the place that taught you about God becomes the place that wounds you most? This week we sit down with Chantal Morales McKinney as she shares the deeply personal story behind her book "Following Jesus Beyond Church Walls" where she presses into a question many of us have asked before: Can you still follow Jesus when church no longer feels safe? Together we explore topics like church trauma, deconstruction, Christ consciousness, contemplative spirituality, reclaiming faith beyond institutional religion, why so many people are leaving church while still longing for God ... and so much more. Whether you've been hurt by church, are questioning your faith, or simply wonder if there might be a more expansive way to follow Jesus, I hope this conversation encourages you. -- CHANTAL MORALES MCKINNEY: https://www.chantalmckinney.com FOLLOWING JESUS BEYOND CHURCH WALLS: https://amzn.to/45rTrgK MY NEW BOOK: https://a.co/d/fsUTllj ART STUDIO: https://www.whatifproject.net/art SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.whatifproject.net/support -- (**NOTE: these show notes contain Amazon affiliate links.

Genesis 37:26-28 | The Place YOU Didn't CHOOSE… May Be Part of the PLANYOU ended up somewhere YOU never would have chosen.A situation YOU did not sign up for. A place YOU were pushed into by someone else's decision, someone else's betrayal, or circumstances that were completely out of YOUR hands. YOU did not want to be here. YOU did not plan for this. And a part of YOU has been treating this whole season as a detour — a mistake to survive and escape from — never once considering that the place YOU did not choose might be the exact place YOU were meant to be.Genesis 37 begins with someone taken to a place he never chose.He did not go willingly. He was handed over, sold, carried off to a foreign place by people who were supposed to protect him — for a price, like he was nothing. Everything familiar was stripped away. Everything he had been promised seemed impossible now. By every measure, being taken to that place was the end of his story. It looked like betrayal had won and his dreams were finished.But something went with him that changed everything.Here is what most people miss. In the place he did not choose — the place that looked like punishment, like the ruin of everything — something began to happen that never could have happened anywhere else. He did not just survive there. He began to rise. Favor found him. Everything he touched started to prosper. The very place that was meant to bury him became the place he was quietly being positioned and prepared for something far bigger than the life he lost.The place he did not choose was the place God had chosen for him.And it was not only for him. What happened in that place spilled over onto everyone around him — even the household of the man who owned him was blessed because of the one who had been dragged there against his will. The forced place became a place of overflow.There is something in this passage about what follows YOU into the place YOU did not choose — a presence that does not stay behind when YOUR circumstances change — that will completely shift how YOU see the situation YOU have been begging God to get YOU out of. Because YOU may have been so focused on escaping it that YOU never noticed what God was doing inside it.What went with him? What started happening in the place he never chose? And what if the thing YOU are trying to escape is the exact place YOU are being positioned for?Press play — because the place YOU didn't choose may be part of the plan. This message will show YOU what God does in the seasons YOU never wanted, and why the place that looks like a detour may be YOUR exact assignment.

Mark 5:22-24, 35-43 | Your Story Didn't END… Your Faith Still Has a FUTURESomeone already told YOU it was over.Maybe it was a person. Maybe it was a report. Maybe it was the voice in YOUR own head that looked at the situation and reached the only conclusion that made sense: this is finished, there's no point hoping anymore, stop troubling God about it. And YOU almost believed it — because from where YOU were standing, the evidence was overwhelming. It really did look like the end.Mark 5 is about the moment right after someone gets that exact news.A desperate parent had come looking for help for a child who was slipping fast. And while they were still on the way — before help could arrive — the message came that every parent dreads. It's too late. She's gone. Don't bother the Teacher anymore. The one thing they were racing against had already won. The story, as far as everyone was concerned, was over.And then came a sentence that made no sense given the news.Here is what most people miss. Instead of offering comfort, instead of acknowledging the ending everyone had already accepted, the response was a quiet instruction that flew in the face of the facts: don't be afraid — just keep believing. It was spoken directly into the worst possible moment, over a situation that was already being called finished. And what happened next depended entirely on whether that instruction was obeyed after the bad news had already landed.Because when they arrived, everyone was already grieving. The mourning had started. The ending had been accepted by everyone in the room.But the situation was described in a way that stunned everyone present — a reframe so unexpected that the grieving crowd actually laughed at it. And then, with only a few people allowed in the room, something was said and done that reversed the very thing everyone had already buried in their hearts.Two words. And a story everyone had closed was suddenly wide open again.There is also a strange, tender detail about what was said right after — a specific instruction about what to do next — that reveals how completely God restores what looked permanently gone. It is not the ending anyone in that room expected.What was the instruction given after the bad news? What was said in that room? And why is the ending YOU already accepted not necessarily the ending at all?Press play — because YOUR story did not end, and YOUR faith still has a future. This message will show YOU why the report that said it was over was not the final word — and what God still does with the situations everyone else has already grieved.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Bobby from TEXITcoin, a man who has been manufacturing gold and silver coins since 2008, created the original physical Bitcoin coin in 2012, and testified before US Congress on crypto before most people had ever heard of it. In this episode, Bobby shares why he believes Bitcoin lost its original mission as peer-to-peer digital cash and became digital gold instead, and what he is doing about it. We dig into how he crowdfunded a community mining operation in his Texas garage, how TEXITcoin became the tenth largest Litecoin and Doge miner on the planet through merge mining, and why he is now building NectarPay, a zero-fee payment terminal network to get crypto accepted at real businesses. We also get into the big picture: the US dollar at 40 trillion in debt, Keynesian versus Austrian economics, Bitcoin retail adoption at a nine-year low, and what a Texas state securities case means for the future of TEXITcoin. This is one of the most grounded, no-nonsense conversations I have had about where honest money stands today and what it will take to get it into everyday hands.

Acts 20:7-12 | You Never SAW… What God KEPT From YOUSome of the worst things that never happened to YOU were blocked by a hand YOU could not see.That is the part almost no one thinks about. YOU can name the battles YOU fought. YOU can point to the storms YOU survived. But there is an entire category of disaster YOU will never be able to list — because it never touched YOU. It was stopped before it reached YOU. And YOU went on with YOUR life never knowing how close it came, because God blocked it so completely that YOU never even saw it.Acts 20 is the story of one of those moments.A group had gathered for something sacred, late into the night, in a crowded upper room. And in the middle of it, something went horribly wrong — a sudden accident, the kind that turns a holy moment into a tragedy in an instant. On the surface, it looked like the worst thing that could have happened. But underneath it was something far bigger than the accident itself — a disaster that could have destroyed far more than one life.Here is what most people miss.That moment could have become a catastrophe that ended everything. There were people already watching, already suspicious, already looking for a reason to shut the whole movement down. A tragedy like this, in a gathering like that, could have handed them exactly what they were waiting for. The scandal. The blame. The questions. The end of a ministry that was already under constant scrutiny. What looked like one accident was actually a loaded weapon aimed at everything God was building.And then God blocked it.What one person did in response — and what happened to the one everyone thought was gone — completely erased the disaster before it could ever form. The catastrophe that should have followed simply never came. The scandal that was seconds away never happened. And instead of the end of everything, the night turned into relief, celebration, and a testimony that is still being read two thousand years later.Here is what that means for YOU. There is a promise in Scripture that God will keep YOUR foot from being caught in a trap — traps YOU never even see, disasters that were set for YOU that YOU will never know about, because He stopped them before they closed. YOU have been protected from things YOU cannot name. YOU have been spared from traps YOU never saw coming.What was the disaster that almost formed? What did God do to block it? And how many times has He done the same for YOU without YOU ever knowing?Press play — because YOU never saw what God kept from YOU. This message will open YOUR eyes to the unseen protection that has been over YOUR life the whole time — and why YOU are still standing because of things God blocked that YOU never even knew about.

Acts 28:1-10 | The ATTACK Was Real… The VERDICT Was WRONGPeople watched what YOU went through and quietly decided what it meant about YOU.That is the part that hurt almost as much as the attack itself. Something came against YOU — real, painful, undeniable — and instead of compassion, YOU could feel the conclusions forming around YOU. Maybe they said it out loud. Maybe they just thought it. This must be judgment. He must have done something. This is what happens to people like that. The attack was bad enough. The verdict people spoke over it was worse.Acts 28 opens on exactly that scene.Someone had just survived one disaster, and the moment they reached safety, something else latched onto them — sudden, dangerous, and visible to everyone watching. And the crowd reacted instantly. They looked at the attack, and they pronounced a verdict. They decided, out loud, exactly who this person was and exactly what was about to happen to them. They were so certain, they simply stood back and waited for it to come true.They were wrong about all of it.Here is what most people miss. The attack was completely real — there was no denying what had happened. But the verdict the crowd attached to it was based on a belief most people carry without ever examining it: that if something bad is happening to YOU, YOU must deserve it, and the outcome is already decided. That belief is exactly what this passage dismantles.Because what this person did with the thing that attacked them — and what did not happen next — flipped the entire verdict on its head.The crowd waited for the worst. They watched for it. And when the thing they were sure would happen simply did not come, they were forced to completely reverse everything they had just declared. The same people who had written this person off had to admit they had read the entire situation wrong.But that is not even the biggest part. Because surviving the attack was not the end of the story — it was the doorway into something that ended up blessing an entire island. What the enemy meant as a verdict of death became the platform for a wave of healing that reached people who had nothing to do with the original attack.What latched onto them? What did the crowd declare? And what happened when the verdict they were so sure of never came true?Press play — because the attack against YOU may have been real, but the verdict people spoke over it was wrong. This message will show YOU why what looked like judgment was never the final word — and what God can do on the other side of an attack YOU survived.

Mark 4:35-41 | Your Answer Arrived Before the Bad News DidThe answer to the storm YOU are in was released before the storm ever started.That is the part almost no one catches. YOU are so focused on the bad news in front of YOU — the diagnosis, the call, the moment everything shifted — that YOU never stop to consider that God may have already spoken YOUR outcome before the trouble ever showed up. The answer did not arrive in response to the crisis. It was already there, spoken, settled, before the crisis had a name.Mark 4 shows YOU exactly how this works.Before a single wave rose, before the sky turned, before anything went wrong at all, a promise was made — a clear word about where they were headed and where they would end up. It was spoken in calm weather, when nothing looked threatening. And most people forget that word entirely the moment the storm hits, because the bad news feels so much louder than the promise that came before it.Then the storm came. And it was not a small one.Here is what most people miss. In the middle of the worst of it — with everything shaking, water pouring in, and experienced people convinced they were about to die — the One who had spoken the promise was doing something that made no sense for the situation. Something that looked, at first, like He did not care. And what He was doing in that moment is the very thing that reveals whether YOU actually believe the word that was spoken over YOU before the trouble came.Because if the destination was already promised, the storm was never able to change it.There is a specific thing He said when they finally woke Him — first to the storm, then to them — that flips the entire situation. Most people focus on what He said to the wind. But it is what He said to the people afterward, one piercing question, that exposes the real reason storms shake us the way they do. And once YOU hear it, YOU will understand that YOUR panic was never really about the storm.What was the promise spoken before the storm? What was He doing while it raged? And what did He ask them when it was over?Press play — because YOUR answer arrived before the bad news did. This message will show YOU why the word God spoke over YOU still stands, even when the storm is screaming the opposite.

Ralph welcomes Robert Reich (professor of Public Policy and former Secretary of Labor) to discuss his "Pledge to Make America Affordable Again." Then, Ralph speaks to Derek Shearer (former economic policy adviser and US Ambassador to Finland) about his recent work, "A Bold Economic Program for America."Robert Reich is Emeritus Professor of Public Policy at UC Berkeley. He has served in three national administrations, including as secretary of labor under President Bill Clinton. Mr Reich has written eighteen books, including The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix It, The Common Good, Supercapitalism, and Coming up Short: A Memoir of My America. He is co-founder of Inequality Media, co-founder of the Economic Policy Institute, and co-founding editor of The American Prospect.Democrats have an opportunity now to talk to the working class about—and not just the working class, the middle class too—about prices, about affordability in ways that are terribly important and meaningful and that really could get prices down or at least stop the onslaught of inflation. And also that are very, very consistent with what we believe as Democrats, as progressives, as people who want to see the nation move back toward its pursuit of social justice.Robert ReichYou can bet that the right, the apologists for wealth in this country are going to say, “Oh, no, no, no, don't do that because wealthy people will leave the country!” I mean, what they always do reflexively is say, “If you do that, we'll leave.” And I say in California the same thing I would say about a national wealth tax—if they want to leave, let them leave. But they're not going to leave because there are so many advantages to staying in California in terms of: this is where a lot of the high tech talent actually is. This is where the infrastructure for high tech is already. The climate, as I talk to you, I'm looking at a beautiful day out here. You know, who wants to leave California? And if you are a billionaire, and you are just so intent on leaving California because of this one very, very minor tax, then frankly, goodbye.Robert ReichI am a believer, though, in the common sense of the American people. Now, if that makes me naive, if that makes me gullible, so be it. But I think at the end of the line, the bottom line here is that the American people will make a decision starting with the midterm elections coming up in just 96 days (something like that). And those elections are going to be critical in terms of trying to constrain Trump and the people, the sycophants and lapdogs behind him and Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and all these people who are ripping the social contract to shreds. And I think that the one way that (this brings us back to my pledge, my affordability pledge for Democrats), I think one way the Democrats can be sure to get the House back and maybe even possibly the Senate in 96, 97 days, is to pledge to make America affordable again. And using these 10 particular steps that are widely, widely supported.Robert ReichDerek Shearer served as the US Ambassador to Finland from 1994 to 1997. Previously, he worked in government at the national, state, and local levels, including the founding board of directors of the National Consumer Cooperative Bank in 1978 and Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs in 1993. He is emeritus Chevalier Professor of Diplomacy and World Affairs at Occidental College and Diplomat in Residence at Occidental for 2025-26. During the 1992 presidential campaign, Ambassador Shearer was a senior policy adviser to Bill Clinton and helped to write the campaign's economic program, Putting People First. He has continued this policy work by co-authoring the comprehensive proposal A Bold Economic Program for America and exploring its political path forward in his recent article, Planning for the Day After Trump.The point of our program is not that it should be endorsed in its entirety. It's almost meant to be a discussion document to show what is possible—that this can be done. It doesn't require some dramatic change in the way the government operates. It just demands a change in priorities and some new lawsDerek ShearerYou can't get to those issues until you are actually in the government. And if we don't win back the House and at least have a shot at winning back the Senate, talking about these issues while Trump and the MAGA Republican Party controls the government (and might continue to control it), makes us feel good, but it doesn't change anything. What I've learned about the so-called leaders of the party is you don't really expect them to lead. They will follow when they see where the voters are going. And they'll also follow when they see if there is a Presidential candidate who takes off on these kinds of issues…I don't expect the leadership to lead on these issues. So I don't rail against them. Because what I'm doing (and I'm doing it with a lot of different people out there, including a lot of young people) is trying to find good candidates, provide them with economic ideas to run on, and then hope that we win back the House and that these kinds of then-elected officials who share our viewpoint become the Democratic Party. I mean, that's how you do these things. If we don't win these elections, then we're just kind of crying in the wilderness.Derek ShearerLet's Start the RevolutionTools for Displacing the Corporate State and Building a Country that Works for the PeopleIn his latest eye-opening exploration, political maverick Ralph Nader dissects the astonishing twists and turns of the 2020 presidential election, a race that left the nation on the edge of its seat. Although Joe Biden clinched victory with a substantial popular vote lead, Nader unveils the precarious nature of the outcome, where a mere 100,000 votes in key swing states could have catapulted Donald Trump back to the presidency. Get your copy here.News 8/7/26* This week, a new wave of Democratic primaries were held, most notably in the state of Michigan. In the closely watched Senate primary, which came down to a two-way race, Bernie Sanders-backed progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed emerged triumphant. Some have played up the fact that his opponent, Congresswoman Haley Stevens, overperformed relative to her polling in an attempt to downplay the significance of El-Sayed's victory. Yet, this narrative ignores the fact that Stevens enjoyed the backing of the Democratic Establishment and AIPAC, which gave her an 12-to-1 spending advantage according to Axios, and that she ran misleading ads that made it seem as though former President Barack Obama had endorsed her campaign. Viewed in this light, it is clear just how impressive El-Sayed's victory – statewide, in a must-win swing state for Democrats – is. El-Sayed will now face off against former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in the general election.* In Detroit, the left scored another major win with the victory of Donavan McKinney. McKinney, a DSA member and Michigan state representative, won his primary race against incumbent Congressman Shri Thanedar in Michigan's 13th congressional district, the Detroit Free Press reports. Thanedar, a millionaire businessman, was a DSA member but left over disagreements over Israel. Thanedar fought hard to keep this seat, which he won in 2022, and was supported by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries despite many members of the Congressional Black Caucus supporting McKinney. Given that this is a heavily Democratic district, McKinney is essentially guaranteed a seat in the next Congress, bringing the number of DSA-backed House Members to an unprecedented high of seven. Moreover, between McKinney and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the city of Detroit will now enjoy all DSA representation in Congress.* In Michigan's seventh congressional district, progressive climate activist and co-founder of the Sunrise Movement William Lawrence pulled out a win in his primary as well. NBC notes that Lawrence defeated his two more moderate opponents, retired Navy SEAL Matt Maasdam and former Ambassador to Slovakia Bridget Brink, in part by aggressively criticizing the construction of new AI data centers. Some have alleged that Lawrence received support from Republicans using dark money to boost his campaign because they believe him to be an easier candidate to defeat in the general election. However, the Hillary Clinton campaign's “pied piper” strategy to boost Donald Trump in 2016 proves that this is ever a risky strategy. Michigan's seventh district is seen as a critical battleground seat. Donald Trump won the district by just one single percentage point in 2024.* In more data center news from the Midwest, Hell Gate reports former New York City Mayor Eric Adams was in “Wisconsin Rapids—population 18,654—trying to convince residents that they should allow a real estate developer to build a data center in the heart of their town.” In a video of his pitch, the townspeople can be seen heckling, booing and shouting down the former Mayor, with attendees saying “You belong in prison!” and “You're here to steal our water!” Community activist Kaitlyn Federwitz is quoted in this piece saying “Our whole town does not want him here at all,” adding “We want our resources to be properly safeguarded, our farmers to be protected, our waterways protected.” The Wisconsin Rapids economy had been largely dependent on a local mill, which closed its doors in 2020; Federwitz spoke to this, arguing that “When the mill closed, we lost 900 jobs. We're aware we need jobs and industry in our city.” However, she added that the people of Wisconsin Rapids are “not willing to accept that a data center is the answer to that problem.”* In more news from the midwest, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain has published a new op-ed in Newsweek contending that “Democrats Must Pick a Side: Billionaires or Working-Class.” Fain cited numerous examples of Democrats in powers betraying their working class supporters, from NAFTA to modern governors like Abigail Spanberger of Virginia vetoing collective bargaining rights for public-sector workers. He criticized Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in particular for vetoing “nine bills restoring pensions, lowering health care costs, and restoring bargaining rights for public-sector workers,” after “Michigan Democrats fought an 18-month legal battle to force the bills to the governor's desk.” He claims that “When the courts finally ordered [the bills] delivered, Whitmer vetoed all nine the same day—without so much as a phone call to legislative leaders or the unions that helped elect her.” He ends this piece with a call for “every elected official and candidate to…[reject] corporate PAC money,” and “adopt a platform that addresses the needs of working-class people.” This clear-eyed, laser focus on the working class is what has put Fain into conversation for a 2028 presidential run by some on the populist left, particularly if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ultimately declines to run. A recent article in POLITICO quotes Bhaskar Sunkara, the 2020 Sanders surrogate and former vice chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, saying “If he's willing to run, [Fain] might be the best candidate for the left…Since he's progressive but very much says his egalitarian value system comes from his Christianity, [he] can speak in a moral language that can reach more independents than other candidates, and I think it would set a good precedent for labor.”* For the DSA left, all eyes now turn to Wisconsin, where Francesca Hong's campaign for the gubernatorial nomination continues to pick up steam. Just this week, per Wis Politics, Hong picked up the endorsement of the SEIU Wisconsin Healthcare and Service Workers. In their endorsement statement, SEIU Wisconsin called Hong “a longtime advocate and fighter for the working class,” who is “committed to building back strong labor protections by overturning Act 10 and so-called ‘Right-to-Work' laws, expanding Badgercare, and abolishing poverty wages in Wisconsin.” The union added that Hong's “support for a $20 minimum wage, adopting family-centered policies such as paid family leave and affordable child care, and enacting much-needed regulations on corporate monopolies make her the clear choice for all Wisconsinites, not just the wealthy.” Hong currently leads in the polls, despite the sitting Democratic Governor's attempts to boost her primary rival, David Crowley. Both Hong and Crowley have racked up labor support, though Crowley decidedly leads among the building trades and firefighter unions.* In St. Louis, the left experienced its biggest setback this cycle, with former Congresswoman Cori Bush losing her comeback bid against Congressman Wesley Bell by a large margin. Bush was ousted in 2024 as part of “a broader strategy by AIPAC to unseat Israel's sharpest critics in Congress, including the ‘Squad,' which Bush was a part of,” per the Missouri Independent. This piece notes that AIPAC spent over $8 million to oust Bush in that cycle and outside groups spent $7.2 million on Bell's behalf this year. Bell's official campaign outspent Bush's by a margin well over 10 to 1. Bush is the first candidate backed by National DSA to lose their race in 2026, which, while disappointing in this case, is a stunning testament to the track record of the group.* In a totally different part of the country, this week Julian Beaudion, the Democratic nominee for Senate in South Dakota, dropped out of the race. Beaudion cited personal hardships for himself and his family in his statement of withdrawal citing a recent house fire. However, many see this as an acknowledgement that the independent candidate in this race, veteran and former park ranger Brian Bengs, has a better chance of defeating incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. This dynamic has been playing out in other states; Democratic Senate candidates have dropped out to clear the way for independents in Nebraska and Idaho already and there is immense pressure on the Democratic nominee in Montana to do the same. For his part, Beaudion will not endorse either candidate in South Dakota, according to KELOLAND News, but South Dakota Searchlight reports the South Dakota Democratic Party will not replace Beaudion on the ballot, giving the greenlight for Democrats to coalesce around Bengs in the general election.* In another primary election story, Lehigh Valley Public Media is out with a story on the strange dynamic emerging in Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district. According to this story, this race – between incumbent Republican Ryan Mackenzie and his Democratic challenger Bob Brooks, who seems to have done the impossible by getting Bernie Sanders and Josh Shapiro on the same side in a primary – has been upended by the entry of one Andrew Tupone. Mr. Tupone, a former Republican candidate, is running on the Green Party ballot line and claims to have “joined the Green Party this spring, drawn by its environmental policies on water conservancy and opposition to data centers, after growing disillusioned with both major parties.” Yet, apparently, “Green Party leaders warned in a statement this month that a wave of candidates may be posing as party members across the state.” Chris Robinson, a Green party spokesman, claims that “The party hasn't endorsed any congressional candidates in Pennsylvania and has never heard from Tupone.” Robinson adds that he “looked at [Tupone's] Facebook page, and he seems like he's a nice Republican.” According to LVPM, “a third-party candidate wouldn't need to move the needle much,” to influence the outcome of the election, noting that the current Congressman defeated the Democratic incumbent, Rep. Susan Wild by just 1 percentage point, in 2024, while “Tim Silfies, the last third-party congressional candidate to appear on a Lehigh Valley ballot, earned 8,011 votes, or 3 percent of the vote, in 2018.”* Finally, in more third party news, POLITICO reports several leading figures on the anti-MAGA right – including Congressman Thomas Massie, former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and commentator Tucker Carlson – convened last weekend to “[sow] the seeds for a future third-party political organization…aimed at undercutting the Republican establishment.” This gang of three, joined by former Trump national security official Joe Kent, are particularly incensed by the president's intervention in Iran, with Greene writing “We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he's betrayed us all.” This group is reportedly mulling a right-wing, third-party presidential campaign in 2028. While Carlson has declined to launch a presidential bid in the past, despite urging from within his circle, a sprawling new “10-point vision for America” he debuted during a recent stream implies that he is increasingly interested in articulating an alternative vision of right-wing politics from those espoused by Trump. This manifesto, as reported by Axios, includes everything from declassifying records on the JFK assasination and 9/11 to enforcing universal sobriety to “halting immigration until the effects of AI become clearer.” We will be watching closely to see if this effort moves forward or peters out as has been the pattern with other recent third party attempts.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on The Majority Report On today's program: In the Wake of Abdul El-Sayed's winning the Democratic nomination for Senate in Michigan, the GOP-machine's Islamophobia is reaching a fever pitch. El-Sayed's GOP opponent Mike Rogers tries to tie the Democratic nominee to Osama Bin Laden in his opening statement to kick off the general election. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is asked about Speaker Mike Johnson's comments on El-Sayed's victory on Tuesday putting the U.S. in danger of being overrun by "mini-Mamdani's'. Zohran says if El-Sayed's campaign promises of "money out of politics, money in your pocket and Medicare for all" are scary then that shows just how out-of-touch the Republican party is with the concerns of the working class. Stephen Zunes, Professor of Politics and Director of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of San Francisco, joins to discuss his piece in The Nation: "The Real Story Behind the Human Wave That Entered Ceuta." For more from Professor Zunes, check out his most recent book, coauthored with Jacob Mundy: Western Sahara: War, Nationalism, and Conflict Irresolution.

Chris Rabb changes Sean Hannity's name to Scott and then humiliates him in a debate over his platform. Democratic nominee for U.S. House of Representatives in Michigan's 13 district, Donovan McKinney speaks to the Wall Street Journal about how he is fine with being labeled a Socialist. McKinney points out that although Trump is very unpopular the Democratic party remains even more unpopular because people want champions and fighters for the working class. Donald Trump is wearing a wig; Brandon disagrees but he is wrong. At a Trump event in Nevada, Governor Joe Lombardo tries to initiate a moment of silence for a slain Cop but the cattle in the crowd heard his surname 'Abdelnabi' and instinctually start booing. Stephen Miller has a meltdown on Scott Hannity's show as he tries to fearmonger the geriatric audience with Hasan Piker's comment on America "deserving" 9/11. As Stephen Miller and Scott Hannity feign heavy hearts over 9/11, we take a look at the 16-year history of Republicans trying to block healthcare for September 11 victims and first responders. all that and more.

Last week, Ralph, along with our constitutional law expert, Bruce Fein, organized another symposium in Washington DC on impeaching Donald Trump. On today's program, we play you highlights from that symposium with eight of the participants, each of whom are going to give listeners their perspective on why Donald Trump should be impeached even before the midterm elections.The rhetoric from many Democratic leaders has not kept up with the horror and the urgency of what [Donald Trump] is inflicting on America and the American people. He has moved very, very quickly to develop a fascist dictatorship embodying a kleptocratic corporate state that is marked by non-regulation, tax cuts for the wealthy, and tax escapes for the wealthy and major corporations, as well as expanded corporate welfare in the midst of personal and institutional two-way bribery and extortion. It's very important to punctuate the seriousness of what he's already done.Ralph NaderCelinda Lake is a political strategist and president of Lake Research Partners.What I love about polling is: conventional wisdom is wrong about 90% of the time, plus or minus 5%. Beltway conventional wisdom is wrong about 100% of the time, plus or minus 5%. So, “Everybody knows impeachment is unpopular.” No, it's not. It's very popular. A majority of people support it. “Everyone knows that it'll energize the other side.” No. The other side, to the extent they're going to be energized, they're already energized. We need to energize our side. We need to get our people out to vote… “Everyone knows it's very volatile.” No, it's not. Attitudes about impeachment track with job performance… And finally, “Everybody knows that nobody understands impeachment.” Well, frankly, voters understand it better than a lot of elected officials.Celinda LakeSuparna Reddy is the Senior Counsel for Free Speech For People.Let us be clear: Congress should impeach and remove Trump for each and every one of these hundreds of offenses. And we have a duty to record his every abuse of power. But in the process, we should not miss the forest for the trees— Trump is intentionally and systematically dismantling our democratic institutions to consolidate his own power and line his own pockets.Suparna ReddyRichard Painter is the S. Walter Richey professor of corporate law at the University of Minnesota Law School and was the chief White House ethics lawyer from 2005 to 2007.We have seen serious, indeed, tragic financial conflicts of interest in the executive branch never before seen in the history of our country—unless we look at our very early Presidents who held vast plantations with slave labor, a clear economic conflict of interest with their official duties. A conflict of interest shared by many Senators and Representatives and Justices of the Supreme Court, and indeed a tragic conflict of interest for the first eighty years of our history that ended only with a bloody civil war. But since then, we have not had at least a President who is embroiled in financial conflicts of interest with his official duties.Richard PainterDoug Bandow is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, specializing in foreign policy and civil liberties.We need to make a persuasive argument for people, whether they like Donald Trump or not, to understand the Constitution transcends this President. The Constitution transcends future Presidents and future crises. We need to convince Americans across the political spectrum to stand with the rule of law, to stand with accountable government, to stand with an accountable executive, responsible legislatures. History tells us that one person making these decisions is not good. Plenty of authoritarians in the past have made these decisions and brought their countries to disaster.Douglas BandowErwin Chemerinsky is the Dean and Jesse H. Choper Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law.We're now at a moment when the federal government is a threat to our rights. The actions of the Trump administration are unprecedented in the violations of the Constitution. And so I think it's crucial that state and local governments step in so as to protect rights. It's interesting that through American history, Federalism has always been equated, states' rights have always been equated with regressive policies… But now it's time for progressives to use states' rights and look for the opportunities for states to safeguard our constitutionErwin ChemerinskyKeira Havens is a United States Air Force veteran, a former scientist, and a longtime political activist. She is the executive director of Citizens' Impeachment.Everybody has agency. Everybody has a role that they can play. Everybody can take action. As a private citizen, I can say, “Man, there are a lot of things wrong with what's happening.” In fact, I wrote several articles of impeachment: tyranny, treason, obstruction of justice, and of course, corruption, right? Members of Congress have more power than that. They need to do more than say things. They have to take action. Courage is an action. It's what you do after you say the words that really matters. And every single member of Congress is able to take action. They are able to introduce articles of impeachment, and they are refusing.Keira HavensJessica Denson is a former Trump staffer and founder of the Removal Coalition.The American people (and particularly Democratic primary voters) are looking for fighters. For God's sake, what could you do better than to exert the power that you have—this one privilege in the House, Rule 9, that gives any member of the Congress, including the minority, the ability to force a vote any time. Why would you sit on that? Why would you wait? Instead, in my activism, I've had to resort to relying on literally one Congressman. This is so pathetic. He is a dear friend, and I am so grateful for him. But to this day, I think it is pathetic that I have to rely on one Congressman to bring forth articles of impeachment and force votes, and that's Representative Green.Jessica DensonNews 7/31/26* Our top stories this week have to do with the Democratic National Committee. Several stories have recently come out about DNC Chair Ken Martin, ranging from interpersonal issues to his utter failure to raise money for the Democratic Party. The most stunning example of this comes from NOTUS, which reports that Martin “put [the DNC's] physical headquarters up for collateral last year in order to obtain a $15 million line of credit to help invest in off-year elections.” While the party has used this mechanism before, it underlines the gaping disparity between the DNC, which is currently over $2 million in debt compared to the Republican National Committee (RNC), which can boast $128.5 million cash on-hand.* Compounding the issues of the already cash-strapped DNC, the New Republic reports the Democratic National Committee was scammed out of nearly $29,000 by an email from someone pretending to be Chair Ken Martin last year. DNC spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg is quoted saying “The DNC takes seriously our duty to protect the funds provided to us by millions of patriotic Americans chipping in to fund our mission…this was a one-off mistake that was promptly caught and addressed, and no similar issues have occurred since.” That said, only $7,000 worth of this money has been recovered. As TNR puts it, “This has all been very embarrassing. Martin can't raise money, can't keep money, and can't unite the base under the big tent' he likes to talk about.” Martin may also be facing an outright rebellion led by party insiders.* One surprising proposal to this effect is coming from a very unlikely source. The Hill reports veteran Democratic strategist James Carville, while tearing into Martin, opened the door to former DNC Vice-Chair David Hogg taking the reins. Carville said the DNC appears “dysfunctional” and that the committee needs to “figure out a way maybe they could be somewhat relevant,” adding that “If David Hogg wants to take it over, I ain't stopping you…Go ahead, man, I don't really care.” This is a stark turnabout from Carville's position on Hogg when the latter was in DNC leadership; back then, Carville dismissed him as “a contemptible little twerp.” In an interview, Hogg highlighted this exact reversal, while simultaneously saying that he did not want to lead the crumbling Democratic Party organization. Ben Wikler, the former Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair who challenged Ken Martin in 2025 has also resisted calls to take over the DNC, with rumors circulating that he is gearing up to run for Senate in the Badger State next cycle. While pressure continues to mount on Martin, alternative leadership remains elusive.* Speaking of lackluster leadership, Sources Say News reports Capitol CNCT has launched The Scoop which they describe as “a confidential rating system that lets current and former Hill staffers weigh in on the members and offices they have worked for.” As one might imagine, some reviews are extremely scathing. This piece cites one that reads, “Leadership is abusive. Lies about promotions and bonuses…This place will leach at your mental health like a vampire…Beware.” Sources Say highlights the fact that “Unlike most workplaces, Congress has no HR department, which means bad behavior by members and senior staff can go unreported and unchecked for years.” The new site verifies that the posters are or were real employees of these offices, but keeps their names anonymous to protect them from retaliation.* In more news from Congress, POLITICO reports Maryland Representative and House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin is launching a new investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, this time focusing on whether the deceased sex offender and financier acted as an unregistered foreign agent. In a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, Raskin writes that “Jeffrey Epstein never registered as a foreign agent…Yet numerous recently released documents now show he acted aggressively on behalf of multiple foreign governments, including several with interests adverse to the United States, in order to influence policies of the first Trump Administration.” The declassified files reveal that Epstein “offered to serve as a conduit between Saudi Arabia and members of the Trump administration, consulted with Russian officials on engaging with the president and advised former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.” This inquiry is likely to raise fresh questions about not only Epstein's role working on behalf of foreign governments, but his possible connections with intelligence and espionage organizations including the CIA and Mossad.* Other progressive members of Congress, led by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, have issued a formal response to a new Trump administration report on Cuba. These members interpret this report – which claims that the tiny Caribbean nation of 10 million people has “waged a sustained campaign” to “conquer” the United States and is backing “left-wing terrorism on American soil” – is in fact an instrument the administration plans to use to persecute “Trump's perceived political enemies.” Omar, joined by Representatives Jim McGovern, Delia Ramirez, Rashida Tlaib, AOC and more, contend that Trump is “hell-bent on taking America back 70 years to the height of Cold War McCarthyism, when hawkish foreign policy was paired with unsubstantiated accusations of communist subversion and political repression against dissidents at home.” The administration report singled out several organizations and activists, including the National Lawyers Guild, Hasan Piker, and campus activist Isra Hirsi, daughter of Congresswoman Omar. This from Common Dreams.* In more news from the left, POLITICO reports Donavan McKinney – who is challenging incumbent Congressman Shri Thanedar in Detroit – picked up a major batch of endorsements this week from members of the Congressional Black Caucus. These new endorsers include Representatives Steven Horsford, the former chair of the CBC, along with Lateefah Simon and Ayanna Pressley. These endorsements, particularly that of Congressman Horsford, are notable because Thanedar retains the support of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and his deputies, Representatives Pete Aguilar and Katherine Clark. McKinney said he was “honored” by these endorsements, adding that he “[looks] forward to working alongside these incredible leaders to pass critical legislation to protect voting rights, get big money out of our politics, and ensure all families have access to the resources they need to not just survive, but to truly thrive.” McKinney's primary will be held on August 4th, along with the more closely watched Senate primary between progressive Abdul El-Sayed and his moderate, establishment-backed opponent Haley Stevens.* Meanwhile, in New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani continues to fulfill campaign promises at an astonishing rate. First, Forbes reports that Mamdani has officially introduced a $124.7 billion city budget which includes funding for five city-run grocery stores which will sell staple foods at a 30% discount compared to private grocery stores. These staples are set to include produce, dairy, bread, select meat and seafood, and approximately 20 other products. Being city-owned, these stores will not have to pay rent or property taxes, ensuring they can operate more cheaply than their competitors in the private sector. This piece notes that similar experiments in smaller cities like Baldwin, Florida, and Erie, Kansas proved unsustainable financially, while proposals in Chicago and Kansas City struggled to get off the ground. There is reason to believe New York will prove a different matter entirely, but that remains to be seen. At the same time, Jacobin reports Mamdani is launching a new initiative called “Talk to Tenants,” which will “send volunteers door-to-door in buildings with chronic housing code violations, connecting renters with organizing resources, neighborhood organizations, and training on tenants' rights and how to build tenant associations.” This effort will be led by the Office of Mass Engagement in partnership with the Office to Protect Tenants. It is extremely encouraging to see Mamdani utilizing a varied array of tools at his disposal – including both direct action by the city as on grocery stores or using city resources to promote the formation of non-governmental organizing efforts – in order to achieve his vision of a just and affordable American metropolis.* In more troubling, if not surprising, news, the Wall Street Journal is out with a new report finding that the Department of Justice is giving a green light to corporate criminals. The Journal cites examples ranging from Alibaba to Boeing and EagleBank to Abbott Laboratories where the Trump DOJ “declined to charge companies even when prosecutors thought executives or managers were involved in the wrongdoing.” This follows from directives given by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has “said prosecutors shouldn't view prosecuting companies as their goal and should instead focus on holding individual wrongdoers accountable.” This piece cites a December speech by Blanche in which he stated that “Companies don't go to jail, people do.” Yet, it seems that under the Trump Justice Department, neither do.* Finally, in more corporate news, the antitrust lawsuit filed by over a dozen state attorneys general has at least temporarily succeeded in halting the mega-merger between Warner Bros. Discovery and the Ellisons' media conglomerate, Paramount Skydance. After the lawsuit was filed, a federal judge in Oakland ordered a pause on the deal, and since then, the Ellisons themselves have agreed to put the merger “on ice” pending the outcome of the trial, Variety reports. This piece also highlights the private sentiments of anonymous Warner Bros. executives who apparently hope that the deal hits a “legal landmine” and is ultimately “nixed.” However, in an internal memo, David Ellison maintained that “the facts and the law are on our side, and a full hearing will demonstrate why the plaintiffs' arguments should not prevail.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

The left is insurgent, and the establishment could not be more worried. In the closing days of this Michigan primary, the boys bring you TWO banger segments. First, Haley Stevens recently signal boosted a diabolical article written by a never-Trump conservative ideologue titled "Now the Democratic Party's Self-Destructive Wing Turns to Michigan". Naturally, the boys break down the think piece and explain how the establishment is mortified at the prospect of no longer having to moderate to win swing state elections if Abdul El-Sayed is victorious.
