Off the back of Cinnabon launching a flagship store at Auckland's Westfield Newmarket, two more American food chains will make their New Zealand debut later this month. Auntie Anne's and Carvel will open their first stores on September 26th - giving Kiwis the chance to try new hand-baked pretzels, ice cream, milkshakes and more. UOA marketing professor Mike Lee says it's expected there will be 'lines out the door' when these companies launch, with high demand expected for Auntie Anne's pretzels. "I just know the New Zealand palate - the mainstream New Zealand palate, I'm not talking about the carb-free health people, I'm just talking about the general mainstream New Zealand public . I think there'll be lines waiting to get a taste of these pretzels." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode OverviewOn this episode of The Articulate Fly, Trout Unlimited President and CEO Chris Wood returns to discuss the fight to save the Roadless Rule, the 25-year-old policy now facing a full rescission by the U.S. Forest Service. With a public comment period closing September 21st, host Marvin Cash and Chris cover why this fight matters well beyond hunters and anglers. Chris, who helped write the original 2001 Roadless Rule as a Forest Service policy staffer under Chief Mike Dombeck, walks through its origins, the parallel legislative attack led by Senator Mike Lee and why the rescission would open 44 million acres of backcountry to new road construction. The conversation ranges from Idaho and Utah's grazing and oil and gas leasing inside roadless areas to the outsized role these lands play as cold, clean water sources for the Tongass National Forest, Colorado's greenback cutthroat trout habitat and Idaho's bull trout and Chinook and steelhead runs. Chris also details recent Trout Unlimited conservation wins, including record coho returns from the North Coast Coho Project and a deal to acquire four dams on Maine's Kennebec River to open habitat for Atlantic salmon. The episode closes with concrete advice on how anglers can make their voices heard before the comment deadline.Key TakeawaysWhy the Roadless Rule's rescission would strip protections from 44 million acres of backcountry that provide the coldest, cleanest water for downstream trout and salmon fisheries.How to submit an effective public comment before the September 21st deadline, including personalizing it with a specific roadless area or species that matters to you.Why the "de facto wilderness" argument against roadless areas doesn't hold up, since these lands already permit off-road vehicle use, grazing, oil and gas leasing and mining.When a more deliberate, iterative rulemaking process (like the state-specific rules Idaho and Colorado developed under the Bush administration) makes more sense than a blanket rescission.Why building a broader coalition beyond traditional hunters and anglers is becoming essential to winning public lands fights in the current political environment.Locations & SpeciesThe episode centers on the 58.5 million acres of national forest backcountry protected by the 2001 Roadless Rule, with particular attention to Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and Alaska's Tongass National Forest. These roadless areas supply drinking water for more than 40 million Americans and serve as critical, contiguous habitat: 70% of Colorado's greenback cutthroat trout, 68% of Idaho's bull trout and 70-75% of the Tongass' and Idaho's Pacific salmon and steelhead populations depend on habitat found within roadless areas.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat is the Roadless Rule, and why is it being challenged right now?The 2001 Roadless Rule bars new road construction across 58.5 million acres of national forest. On August 18th, the U.S. Forest Service proposed rescinding it entirely, with a public comment period ending September 21st. A parallel legislative effort led by Senator Mike Lee also seeks to eliminate the rule and bar any future administration from reinstating it.Why do roadless areas matter for trout and salmon fishing specifically?Roadless areas are the source of the coldest, cleanest water for the larger rivers downstream that support wild trout and salmon. They protect outsized shares of at-risk populations, including most of Colorado's greenback cutthroat trout, Idaho's bull trout and the Tongass National Forest's Pacific salmon and steelhead runs.Isn't a roadless area basically the same as a designated wilderness area?No. Unlike wilderness, roadless areas already permit off-road vehicle use (33% of all motorized trails in the 12 Western states are in roadless areas), oil and gas leasing, grazing and mining, so the argument that they're "de facto wilderness" locked away from any use doesn't hold up.How can anglers make their comments count before the September 21st deadline?Personalizing a comment with a specific roadless area, species or memory that matters to you is more effective than a generic form submission. Comments can be submitted through Trout Unlimited, and the goal is to exceed the 1.6 million comments the original rule drew 25 years ago.What happens if the rescission goes through anyway?Advocates expect the rescission to face extensive litigation. Continued advocacy and public pressure are seen as important groundwork for reversing the rescission under a future administration if needed.Submit Your Comment Before the DeadlineSponsorsThanks to TroutRoutes for sponsoring this episode.

“Just because I think something is dumb doesn't mean I think it should be illegal.” — Nicholas Anthony on meme coins Earlier this month, Elizabeth Warren called for an SEC investigation of Donald Trump's meme coin. Is the Pope Catholic? No surprise there. More revealing are other critics of the “presidential” token which netted our Grifter-in-Chief $636 million last year. Take, for example, Nicholas Anthony, an expert on crypto at the Cato Institute and author of Digital Currency or Digital Control? It's news when an unashamed libertarian from Washington's own temple of free markets calls the president's crypto adventure “completely unnecessary.” Maybe the Pope isn't Catholic. Or maybe Elizabeth Warren should join the Cato Institute. Anthony's verdict is withering because, under his libertarian shell, he's a crypto bro. The meme coin “has been a problem for everyone but Trump,” he argues, because it has held up legislation, invited investigations, and weaponized ethics concerns about crypto. “We have no one to blame except Trump…” Anthony concludes bleakly. “He knew better than to do it, but he saw the opportunity and ran with it.” When I accused Anthony of sounding like Elizabeth Warren, he was more amused than offended. Unlike the Warren crowd, however, he doesn't want to ban crypto. “Just because I think something is dumb,” he says, “doesn't mean I think it should be illegal.” So while Trump-style meme coins are a natural habitat for what he calls “rug pulls,” that shouldn't be an excuse for lawmakers to pull the rug from the entire industry. Crypto can still revolutionize finance, Anthony believes. It can democratize centralized banking. It can make money fairer. Just don't confuse that with a Melania meme coin. Five Takeaways • A Hard No from Cato. The week's most surprising critic of Trump's meme coin isn't a Democrat — it's a Cato libertarian. Anthony's verdict: “completely unnecessary,” legally gray but ethically indefensible, and “a problem for everyone but Trump” — stalling the crypto legislation the industry actually wants, inviting investigations, and handing opponents a weapon. The explanation is pure self-interest: the first-term Trump attacked crypto as competition to the dollar and pushed policies hostile to the space; the second-term convert was swayed by industry lobbying and campaign money, the opportunity for personal enrichment, and crypto's libertarian-conservative DNA. “We have no one to blame except for Trump… He knew better than to do it, but he saw the opportunity and ran with it.”• Dumb, But Not Illegal. The libertarian line in one sentence: “Just because I think something is dumb doesn't mean I think it should be illegal.” Meme coins are “a trading card of sorts” — their value is the person behind them, held up only as long as people stay amused — and a natural habitat for rug pulls, where insiders manufacture interest and vanish with the proceeds. Anthony opposes bans; he demands disclosure, and insists fraud be prosecuted whether it's snake oil from a cart or a token from a president. Hence the kicker: a Warren-style investigation of the sitting president is “perfectly reasonable,” and “if it turns out he was doing something behind the scenes, then I think he should be prosecuted for it.” From what he's seen, the fans knew what they were buying — but the line between brilliantly marketed and fraudulently sold is exactly what investigations exist to draw.• The Dollar Launders Better. Isn't crypto the ideal vehicle for laundering money? “Not so much. The US dollar is definitely the ideal vehicle” — and remains the currency of choice for criminals worldwide. The numbers: roughly one percent of cryptocurrency activity has been identified as illegal, against about five percent of US dollar usage — because the dollar is accepted everywhere, even in criminal circles, and cash, once it leaves your hand, is gone. Most cryptocurrencies, by contrast, run on public blockchains: permanent, searchable records that forensic accounting firms mine daily, and that keep catching criminals who never understood that the ledger remembers everything. The moral panic, Anthony suggests, is aimed at the wrong instrument.• Free Banking's Revenge. The deeper Cato case: cryptocurrency — born of cypherpunk and libertarian ideas after the 2008 crisis — is “for the first time in over a hundred years, the challenge to the idea that central banks have complete and total ownership of what is money.” Its ancestors are Scottish free banking and the note-issuing American banks that cleared payments for decades before the Federal Reserve existed. The prosecution's exhibits against central banking: Zimbabwe's hyperinflation queues, where friends of Anthony's watched food become unaffordable while they waited in line, and the slower American version — $10,000 bought two Corvettes in 1970 and needs to be $80,000 today. No utopias: Bitcoin won't erase the debt. But competition would supply the missing incentive for governments to be “better stewards of currency” — and the practice already exists, from Argentina and Lebanon to the crypto hubs of Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya.• Swept Up by Trump. The sadder confession concerns his own side: “Sadly, many conservatives have been swept up by Trump… the president can do no wrong” — Ted Cruz and Mike Lee among the obsequious, blocking the ethics language Democrats want attached to crypto legislation. The principled exception is Wyoming's Cynthia Lummis: pro-Trump, yes, but one of the rare members of Congress who has done the technical and philosophical homework. The industry itself — Coinbase included — walks a careful line around the man who will sign its rules into law, seeing the damage but saying little. Anthony acknowledges his privilege: “Here at the Cato Institute, I can call balls and strikes.” As for the wider economy: a storm in a teacup for now — while crypto's speculative fever has migrated to AI, whose models are quietly integrating the coins as their payment rails. It's not what Satoshi envisioned; the cypherpunks and the bankers will split the inheritance.

Original Air Date: April 1st, 2026 Kristi Noem is speaking out after explosive new allegations claim that her husband, Bryon Noem, has been living a secret double life. Reports say the longtime insurance executive engaged in online chats with women in the “bimbofication” fetish scene. He allegedly shared selfies of himself dressed in pink hot pants and a skin-tight suit, using balloons to create oversized fake breasts with protruding nipples — with his face clearly visible in the photos. Kristi Noem's representatives stated that she is “devastated” and the entire family was completely “blindsided” by the claims.

Original Air Date: March 30th, 2026 In this fresh clip, the man who's been wrong for three decades is at it again, solemnly declaring that some climate damage is already “not reversible” while warning it's “probably inevitable that we're going to see Greenland go and the west Antarctic ice sheet go.” He tells us the world's shallow coral reef systems are “very much in danger,” so if you want to see them, you'd better “get scuba certified immediately” — right before casually throwing in that New Orleans might need saving too. Gore admits the most dangerous impacts are “still avoidable and preventable” if we just “stop using the sky as an open sewer for this civilization-destroying pollution”… because apparently the same scientists whose 20-year-old doomsday predictions he now calls “dead right” have suddenly nailed it this time. No new data, no evidence, just the same recycled panic, the same furrowed brow, and the same urgent plea to trust him — again. Same Gore, same script, different decade.

Join our community. Text "freedom" to (202) 918-5348 In this episode of American Potential, special guest host Heather Andrews sits down with Carolyn Phippen to discuss why understanding the issues—and being willing to have difficult conversations—is essential to preserving freedom. Carolyn shares how her interest in politics began as a young girl reading the newspaper and discussing the issues with her father. That curiosity eventually led her into public policy, working for Senator Mike Lee, running for the U.S. Senate, and building an online audience focused on digging beyond the headlines and helping people understand the stories shaping the country. She and Heather also discuss the importance of knowing history, challenging your own beliefs, respectfully engaging with people who disagree, and refusing to let uncomfortable conversations keep you on the sidelines. From social media to local organizations and grassroots activism, Carolyn explains why Americans don't need to start with a huge political undertaking to make a difference—they simply need to get informed, connect with others, and start taking action.
Photo: Carlson Center in Fairbanks, Alaska will host the 2028 Arctic Winter Games. (Quintin Soloviev / Wikimedia) The Arctic Winter Games International Committee has chosen Fairbanks, Alaska to host the games in 2028. Organizers chose to buck an April decision that would have moved to a three-year cycle temporarily. The announcement means the next Arctic Winter Games, which had been set for 2029, will happen a year earlier than was planned. A statement from the committee's president says an “extraordinary” proposal from Fairbanks this spring made it possible to return to the traditional two-year cycle. “Working with the Fairbanks North Star Borough, the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, the State of Alaska, and numerous community partners, the Host Society demonstrated the community’s readiness to host the Games.” The international competition brings together about 2,000 youth participants from across the Circumpolar North, including Alaska, Canada, and Nordic countries. The multi-sport event and Indigenous cultural celebration started in 1970 and features sports like hockey, skiing, and curling as well as Dene games, such as the finger pull and snow snake. The competition took place in Whitehorse, Canada last winter. It was last hosted in Alaska in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough in 2024. The games have come to Fairbanks three times – twice in the 1980s and again in 2014. The Northwest Territories had been slated to host the 2028 iteration of the event, but withdrew its bid in 2024. Its Municipal and Community Affairs Minister cited reasons like insufficient capacity and facilities, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported at the time. (Courtesy Tohono O'odham Nation) Over the weekend, a tribe in southern Arizona warned that border wall contractors may soon encroach upon their lands. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, the tribe says it is ready to deal with trespassers. According to the Tohono O'odham Code, the tribe may impose up to a $5,000 fine for civil trespassing. Tribal police would escort any offender off the reservation sharing a 62-mile boundary with Mexico. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, led by Secretary Markwayne Mullin (Cherokee) is looking to erect a border wall there. The Tohono O'odham Nation has sued, claiming its sovereignty would be violated should the Trump administration be allowed to proceed. While Customs and Border Protection is aware of the tribe's warning, the federal agency declined to comment due to ongoing litigation. Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in Utah. (Courtesy U.S. Bureau of Land Management) Native Tribes and conservation groups are preparing to sue the Trump administration after the president signed orders to sharply reduce the size of two national monuments in Utah. Mark Richardson has details. Republicans are celebrating the move, while Tribes and environmentalists say it strips protections from culturally significant public lands. Gov. Spencer Cox (R-UT) and Utah’s congressional delegation joined the president to celebrate the signing of the orders. Steve Bloch, legal director for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, calls conservatives’ vision for the state’s wildlands “wrong-headed”. “(U.S. Sen.) Mike Lee (R-UT)’s vision of the American West is not one with sweeping federal public lands. His view of the American West is Utah and other western states should be the South Carolina of the West, with almost no public land.” President Trump reduced the area of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments by about three million acres from their current boundaries – roughly 90% of the original protected area. Polling shows that 65% of Utah voters support keeping Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante protected as national monuments. Utah Republicans have long pushed to reduce or eliminate the two national monuments to allow mining and other economic development on the land. President Donald Trump speaks at the Utah State Capitol in 2017 before issuing a proclamation reducing boundaries for the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments. Trump first reduced the monuments in 2017 during his first term, but President Joe Biden restored the areas. Bloch says he believes Trump is misinformed about the value of the monuments. “I think he really didn’t know what he was talking about. The line that everybody is hooked into that, as he understood it, you couldn’t hunt, fish, or walk in the monuments, and that is so demonstrably false.” The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition, formed by the Hopi, Zuni, Ute Mountain Ute, Navajo Nation and Ute Tribes, called it a major setback to an extraordinary collaboration on public lands between Tribal Nations and federal agencies. Bloch says it was a bitter pill for the tribes to swallow. “The tribes are angry. They are really disappointed. It’s just a lot of pain from yet another attempt by the nation to try and undo their footprint.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Photo: Invasive Green Crab. (Linda Shaw / NOAA Fisheries) Invasive European green crabs have swelled in population across southern Southeast Alaska since they were first detected in the region four years ago. In response, Ketchikan, Alaska's local tribe recently petitioned the state to open a green crab sport fishery to help manage the invasive's spread. The request was denied, citing a lack of evidence that the invasive species has contributed to environmental changes. KRBD's Hunter Morrison reports. The Ketchikan Indian Community submitted the emergency petition to the state's Board of Fisheries in March, asking to reclassify European green crabs from a Class A to a Class B banned invasive species. This change would allow anybody to transport dead European green crabs for harvest or consumption. Currently, the invasive can only be possessed or transported for scientific or educational purposes by those with a special Aquatic Resource Permit. Emily Halsell is a fisheries and wildlife biologist with Ketchikan's tribal government. “This isn’t an issue that’s going anywhere, and it seems to be largely ignored throughout much of the state.” The tribe has removed about 1,500 green crabs from Ketchikan beaches so far this year. In its petition to the state, the tribe cites the species' damaging impacts to the local ecosystem and economy. The adaptive critter can burrow and destroy eelgrass beds, which are nurseries for native species like Dungeness crabs and juvenile salmon. “So when these crabs come up and they tear up this critical marine habitat, there’s cascading population effects.” The species was first detected in Alaska in 2022 on Annette Island, south of Ketchikan. They have since reached about 70 miles north. And the number of green crabs detected has increased. Halsell says they can reproduce two or three times a year, and can lay up to 180,000 eggs each time. Halsell believes a change in how the crab is classified in Alaska, and opening a sport fishery for them, could help better manage their spread. Alaska Fish and Game Commissioner Doug Vincent-Lang, who denied the petition, says the state is determining how to best manage the invasive. A letter from his office states a lack of evidence that the invasive has contributed to changes in eelgrass habitat or caused changes in fishery populations. “I'm not opposed to the concept. I just think it needs to be fleshed out a little bit more, and I think it needs to be, you know, what does a fishery look like? What are the gear types that would be allowed, and what would happen with incidental harvests?” Halsell believes green crab management efforts need to be addressed sooner than that. Summit area of Avi Kwa Ame in southern Nevada, which is adjacent to the proposed land sale. (Photo: Stan Shebs / Wikimedia) Public lands are especially important to Tribal communities across Nevada, and a new report finds protecting those lands is also a top priority for a large majority of voters statewide. Suzanne Potter has the story. Protection of public lands is a top issue for a large majority of Nevada voters, according to a new report from the Center for Western Priorities. Researchers aggregated multiple polls and found that most voters oppose the sale of public land and the rollback of environmental protections. The center's executive director, Aaron Weiss, points to the Colorado College Conservation in the West poll, which found that 82% of Nevada voters oppose the Trump administration's funding cuts to agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service. “Western voters see public lands, waters, and wildlife as a motivating factor in how they vote and is worth everyone across the political spectrum keeping in mind as we head into this election season.” Last year, proposals from U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) and U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) to sell off public lands were abandoned after they drew a big backlash. Environmental advocates say the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act of 1998 is a better model, because it established a process to identify land suitable for development while giving permanent protection to hundreds of thousands of acres of public land. Weiss says the feds have now thrown their support behind the data center boom. “We see them rushing to try to hand over public lands to build data centers over the objection of local and neighboring communities. The way that this process played out near Boulder City exemplifies that.” Recently, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum slashed the boundaries of two national monuments in Utah. Conservation groups are also concerned that the feds will target other national monuments next, including Gold Butte outside of Las Vegas. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

What a crazy twist. Less than two weeks after filling in for your humble host on his radio show, Jackson County Executive Phil LeVota is indicted on multiple charges including a bribery scheme around the election of the new County Exec. This is wild. After Dr. Fauci took out the trash yesterday (and wouldn't we like to know what he tossed?) he got in the car and went for a ride with his wife. All cameras are on the Fauci's again and Mrs. Covid Jab flipped the bird at the media. You gotta love it when the true colors shine through. Utah Senator Mike Lee says there is real progress on the SAVE America Act in the senate. Ya, right. According to a report at SI, Patrick Mahomes is keeping notes of everyone and everything people are saying about him and his team. This is juicy. Also, the OG OC Eric Bienemy is now streaming in to practice live and calling the field on his phone. I'll let you guess what I have to say about this. A local Olympian that we got to know just a little bit gets the gold returned to her in a really feel good story and Missouri speed limits on the Interstate are about to pop up to 75 mph.
A marketing expert says Jetstar's deciding to charge for overhead carry-on luggage is is just business. From February, all passengers' under-seat luggage can weigh more - up to 10kg - but they'll have to fork out an extra $23 for overhead luggage. Auckland University marketing professor Mike Lee says it's an attempt to separate itself from other carriers. "This will rationalise some of that premium overhead space now - and then, of course, they'll be making a nice little profit on that, hopefully."

Our immigration system in this country is broken. Whether you're on the left or on the right -- or right in the middle -- most Americans can agree that our immigration system needs to be reformed. But the question is how do we make the necessary changes? Utah's Senator John Curtis announced a new bill he's working on that would create a voluntary state-sponsored visa program; he joins Greg and Holly to describe his ultimate goals of the bill. The hosts also describe a proposal to close an immigration loophole from Senator Mike Lee.

While both of Utah's senators support the SAVE America Act, they're taking very different approaches to getting it passed. Senator Mike Lee -- who's sponsoring the bill -- has the support and backing of President Trump to end the filibuster and get the bill passed. But Senator John Curtis says, "hold up... let's think about this first." As the son and grandson of former Senators who represented Utah, guest host Jim Bennett has an interesting perspective on the filibuster and shares it on Inside Sources.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is under fire from his own party. Larry breaks down why Thune keeps hedging on the Save America Act (voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements) even though the House already tucked its two biggest provisions into a budget reconciliation bill that only needs 50 votes — votes Republicans already have. He plays the moment a reporter asks Trump point-blank whether Thune is "still the man for the job," compares Thune's rambling answers to Chuck Schumer's near-identical talking points, replays John Cornyn's confused response, and breaks down Senator Mike Lee's floor speech rallying 15 GOP senators who are refusing to let the Senate recess for August until the Save America Act gets a vote.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Todd returns from the EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh and turns to a renewed debate over election integrity. He examines reports that roughly 6,600 noncitizens were added to New Jersey's voter rolls through the state's motor-vehicle registration process, including the dispute between state officials and the software vendor over responsibility. Todd argues that the episode is evidence of serious vulnerabilities, challenges critics to address those concerns directly, and distinguishes evidence from conclusive proof. He also responds to changing media arguments about whether improper registrations occur and whether their scale matters. The conversation then moves to the SAVE America Act and its proposed safeguards: documentary proof of citizenship during registration, voter photo identification, and restrictions on mass-mailed ballots while preserving legitimate absentee voting. Drawing on remarks from Senator Mike Lee, Todd urges listeners to press Senate Republicans to act, contending that transparent, consistent safeguards are essential to restoring public confidence in American elections.

Congress is about to head out from Washington, D.C. for about a month, but Utah's own Senator Mike Lee says members of Congress should forego the trip back home to meet with constituents and pass the SAVE America Act instead. The problem is that the bill still doesn't have the votes, even among Republicans. So why's Senator Lee pushing for this move? Deseret News Congressional Correspondent Cami Mondeaux explains the Senator's recent moves.

These aren't younger guys who retired early; they're generally men older than 70. Cracker Barrel, Boeing, and Verizon are just a few of the latest companies to go this route. Is that wise? Could it jade younger people who are already struggling to get a foot in the door?

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is trying to get a bunch done ahead of the Senate's long summer break, from sanctions legislation on Russia to funding the government. But none of that seems to matter to President Trump. He's focused on the SAVE America Act – a sweeping piece of federal legislation that would dramatically change how Americans vote (and most likely, who gets to vote in the first place). Now, a group of far-right Senators – like Utah Sen. Mike Lee – are demanding Thune cancel vacation and put the SAVE America Act on the floor. So who is in charge in the Senate – John Thune, or Donald Trump? To find out, we spoke to Burgess Everett. He's the congressional bureau chief at Semafor.And in headlines, Trump defended his sweeping tariffs during a speech at a General Motors facility in Michigan; a New York Times report revealed that the Trump Administration canceled major grants for clean-energy projects based entirely on politics; and President Trump finally got to perform his stand-up routine at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.Show Notes: Check out Burgess' work – semafor.com/author/burgess-everett Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is telling Senate leadership to cancel the August break and stay on the floor as long as it takes to pass the SAVE America Act. Sens. Rick Scott (Fla.) and John Kennedy (La.) have now backed him up. The bill requires documentary proof of citizenship to register and a real photo ID to vote. That's it: commonsense election integrity that every American understands. Yet Democrats are united against it, and a handful of Republicans keep blocking it. Leadership says there's “not enough time” and “not enough votes.” Lee's response? Object to the recess and force a roll-call vote. With the midterms roughly 100 days away, this is the last realistic window to lock in basic safeguards before another election cycle.

A reported New Jersey voter-registration error involving 6,600 noncitizens becomes the starting point for Todd's broader argument about election integrity and public trust. He distinguishes evidence from conclusive proof, contending that acknowledged registration failures are reason enough to investigate vulnerabilities instead of dismissing concerns outright. Todd also examines the dispute between state officials and a software vendor over who was responsible for approving the registrations, while clearly presenting his own suspicion that government mismanagement—or indifference—may be the deeper problem. Turning to Congress, he urges listeners to press senators to consider the SAVE America Act and discusses its proposed safeguards, including documentary proof of citizenship at registration, voter photo identification, and limits on mass-mailed ballots while preserving requested absentee voting. He also responds to media arguments about whether improper registrations are widespread and highlights Senator Mike Lee's case for restoring confidence in elections. Throughout, Todd frames tighter procedures as a common-sense defense of constitutional self-government.
Hour 4 of The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers the payoff listeners waited months for — Senator Josh Hawley goes off on pardon attorney Liz Oyer's clemency recommendations for death row killers, confirms his support for filibuster reform and Missouri's Amendment 5, and shuts down 2028 presidential speculation. Fox News's Griff Jenkins confirms a DOJ investigation into New Jersey's non-citizen voter rolls and defends ICE director Tom Homan against Democrat attacks. The hour also revisits the Mike Lee reconciliation update, the American Bar Association's partisan hearing exposure, and closes with Hunter Biden's tone-deaf defense of his own pardon on Don Lemon's show. A landmark hour of accountability journalism as Kim heads off on vacation. Faith, freedom, and common sense — The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers to the very end.

Olive Garden accidentally entered the voter ID debate after requiring customers to show photo ID for its Never-Ending Pasta Pass. Conservatives quickly pointed out the irony: some say a restaurant requires more ID for unlimited breadsticks than some states require to vote. Senator Mike Lee, the RNC, and others amplified the comparison as the SAVE America Act debate continues. Remember: South Florida votes August 18th.
Despite what years of experience and evidence show us, Senator Mike Lee is once again going after mail-in voting. He says that it "should not survive much longer" except for a few exceptions. It's just the latest in a series of moves by Republicans this year to change how the country votes. Joining Inside Sources for this discussion is Deseret News congressional correspondent Cami Mondeaux.
Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat Podcast, brought to you by Hunt Lift Eat official. This is a new series / direction that we are experimenting with here on the HLE podcast - Inspired by Luke and Keiffer with their bro chronicles at the new HLE HQ in Laramie, WY. With no real agenda, we aren't exactly shooting from the hip, but we will just see how this unstructured flow goes. Joining Carter today is Will Boone and Forest Chap - long time HLE members who have been an intricate piece to growing the team to what it is today. The boys are gabbing about the cliques amongst bowhunters, how much Senator Mike Lee sucks, and the proactive actions that the boys are taking as the deer season is quickly approaching.
Brian Karem is joined by national security expert Mark Zaid and journalism professor Nolan Higdon on Just Ask the Press to dissect a week of unprecedented political scandals, press freedom battles, and unchecked executive overreach. The panel uncovers the stark contrast of Donald Trump's McCarthy-esque Fourth of July speech targeting communists while white nationalists march on the National Mall, leading Senator Mike Lee to push a bizarre conspiracy theory that the masked neo-Nazis were actually Antifa. The discussion shifts to blatant financial corruption, highlighting Trump's massive $2.2 billion profit windfall and his stunning admission of loving "insider trading," alongside his bizarre, thumb-on-the-scale phone call to FIFA to overturn a World Cup red card. Finally, the team shines a light on critical civil liberties under threat, exposing a quiet ICE surge rounding up 10,000 individuals over five days, the federal overreach of a ten-year felony charge for peeling paint at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, and the Supreme Court's devastating blow to investigative journalism by upholding an $800-a-day fine against reporter Catherine Herridge.

What should have been a bipartisan housing bill touting affordability has instead become a fight over the Save America Act. Representative Anna Paulina Luna is leading a House conservative blockade, freezing routine procedural votes until the Senate takes up the Trump-backed elections bill. The problem is that the Senate has no path forward. The bill doesn't have the votes, and the Senate isn't about to let the House dictate its agenda. In the meantime, House Republicans are unable to move other priorities, including appropriations and next week's defense policy bill.Luna's leverage comes from one place: Donald Trump. The president canceled the planned signing of the bipartisan housing bill, saying he would not move forward until the Save America Act passes. House Republicans believe Luna's close relationship with Trump is what's keeping the blockade alive. Mike Lee has also pushed Trump to hold the line, arguing that Republican voters need something to get excited about before the midterms and that the Save America Act is that issue.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The divide inside the Republican Party is becoming clearer. Luna, Lee, and the hardliners argue that if voters gave Republicans the White House and both chambers of Congress, they expect them to fight for election legislation, not immediately explain why it can't pass. The Senate's answer is that the bill doesn't have sixty votes. Their view is that Republicans can either spend weeks arguing over a bill that cannot pass or move on to things they can actually accomplish.I think this has been mishandled by both Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune. Whether or not the entire Save America Act could ever get sixty votes, there are pieces of it that are broadly popular with the American public, particularly voter ID provisions. Those could have been broken out and forced into separate fights. Instead, Republicans have backed themselves into a corner where the House is frozen, the Senate has no incentive to move, and everyone is arguing over tactics instead of making progress.My expectation is that Trump ultimately signs the housing bill. This feels like walking away from the table before signing in the hope of getting something else. He wants movement on the Save America Act. I just don't think he's going to get it.Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guard reportedly struck the Singapore-flagged cargo ship Ever Lovely as it transited the Strait of Hormuz, raising new doubts about the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding and the security of commercial shipping through the waterway. No casualties were reported, but the ship was damaged and the International Maritime Organization paused evacuation efforts while reassessing security. My biggest question isn't whether the memorandum itself is good or bad. It's whether any agreement can actually be enforced if there isn't one clear center of leadership in Iran. I honestly don't know who's making the calls, and I'm not sure if anyone else really has a good idea either.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:57 - SAVE America Blockade00:11:54 - Iran00:14:16 - Asylum Ruling00:16:29 - James vs. Mamdani00:19:52 - Interview with Tom Merritt01:06:40 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico presents himself as a moderate, faith-based Christian pastor who rejects Christian nationalism. Talarico is actually a radical progressive activist who weaponizes Christianity for left-wing politics. Talarico's radical positions - God is non-binary, there are more than two biological sexes, the Bible affirms abortion access, and poverty/pollution/prison equal violence. This man is not fit for the Senate. Later, President Trump selected Kash Patel to combat waste, fraud, and abuse, is proving to be an excellent choice as evidenced by a record-setting $6.5 billion healthcare fraud crackdown charging around 450 defendants, primarily in Medicaid and hospice schemes. Officials emphasized unprecedented state-federal cooperation across 45 states and attorneys general, building complete case files for swift law enforcement action—the first such unified effort in modern history. Afterward ,a Biden-appointed federal judge issued a 75-page opinion shutting down the Trump administration's modified SAVE system database, created via executive order to verify citizenship or immigration status of registered voters through DHS and SSA records. This activist decision promotes lawlessness and voter fraud by blocking checks on non-citizens, dead people, and illegal immigrants, especially ahead of midterms. The same judge also blocked an FTC antitrust probe into Media Matters and barred deportation of unaccompanied migrant minors for family reunification abroad. Meanwhile, Senator Mike Lee advances the SAVE America Act, requiring government-issued ID to vote—supported by over 80% of Americans across parties to make voting easy but cheating hard—though four anti-Trump Republicans hinder it in the Senate, where Trump is pushing for passage.

A federal judge named "Judge Sparkle" (seriously) claims it is illegal for the Trump administration to police the nation's voter rolls. That raises two questions: Why does the left oppose all ways of policing voters, and why won't Republicans take action? Sen. Mike Lee joins to explain why we're still waiting on the SAVE Act and the prospects to finally ram it through. Ben Leo of GB News discusses the fall of Keir Starmer in Britain and whether this brings hope that America's mother country will finally save itself. David Harsanyi debates the Iran deal with the show team. Watch every episode ad-free on members.charliekirk.com!

Senator Mike Lee keeps accusing his opponents of sacrificing children to Moloch, so this week we ask who — or what — Moloch actually was, why abortion and child sacrifice are not the same thing, and the uncomfortable places child sacrifice really does turn up in the Hebrew Bible. Then, after the Pentagon quietly declined to list the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as Christian, we dig into the bigger question underneath the fight: who actually gets to decide what counts as "Christian"? Turns out the answer is nobody — which makes the whole boundary-policing exercise a lot more about identity and power than about theology.

Allie reacts to breaking news from the Southern Baptist Convention, which passed an amendment defining pastoral roles strictly for males. Shifting gears, the sin of partiality is turning murderers into victims and white victims into villains. Allie covers the Karmelo Anthony murder trial, as the 19-year-old faces charges for stabbing Austin Metcalf to death at a 2025 Frisco, Texas, track meet, yet crowds chant for his freedom, and media narratives racialize the case despite the evidence. Conversely, in the U.K., bodycam footage from the Henry Nowak stabbing reveals police handcuffing the dying 18-year-old victim while showing leniency toward his Sikh killer, highlighting dangerous double standards. This video examines how overcorrections on racism have distorted justice in both America and Britain, echoing the racial divisions of the O.J. Simpson trial. What does the Bible say about such partiality? Also, the Department of War narrows down religious affiliations recognized by the Chaplain Corps, but Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) take issue with the fact that LDS was not listed as a Christian denomination. Do you have a question for Allie? Leave a voicemail at 844-755-5252.

BYU investigative reporter Kimball Call explains what he's found. Then, Miranda Devine breaks down the Admin's new counterterror strategy which names transgender anarchists as a leading terror threat. Plus, the FISA program is what enabled the Deep State to pull of Russiagate. But Republicans keep extending the program. Sen. Mike Lee discusses how the system can be reformed to serve American interests instead of being just another government weapon turned against the American people.
