Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers President Trump's accusation of sedition against former intelligence and military officials, the deeper pattern of political activism inside America's security agencies, the White House's meeting with New York City's socialist mayor elect, new economic and immigration data, and a sprawling welfare scandal involving Somali migrants in Minnesota. Trump Accuses Former Intel and Military Officials of Sedition: A group of Democratic lawmakers and former intelligence and military officers released a video urging current service members to refuse "illegal orders" from President Trump. Senator Elissa Slotkin and Representative Jason Crow admitted they could not name any unlawful orders but again labeled Trump a fascist and a Nazi. Trump responded by calling their actions sedition and said they should be arrested and tried, adding that such offenses can be punishable by death. Bryan argues the video is part of a ten-year pattern of partisan activism from former security officials who wrap themselves in patriotism while advancing political goals. A Personal Warning About the Deep State: Bryan recounts cases involving Ned Price, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith, and the fifty one former intelligence officials who misled the public about Hunter Biden's laptop. He describes how some officials use the cachet of CIA or military service to shield partisan motives. He also reflects on his former boss, Jennifer Matthews, and objects to her being used for political gain. Trump Hosts New York City's Socialist Mayor Elect: President Trump will meet Zohran Mamdani, the mayor elect of New York City, who openly identifies as a Marxist. Mamdani insists the NYPD will not assist federal deportation efforts, even for violent offenders held at Rikers Island. He says the meeting will focus on public safety and affordability. Bryan questions the wisdom of giving such a figure a platform inside the White House. Economic Signals Improve for Housing and Jobs: Mortgage rates have fallen to about 6.25 percent. Rent prices are dropping in many cities and analysts tie the trend to Trump's deportation operations, which have reduced demand for rental units. Job growth in September exceeded expectations, with 119,000 new positions. Native born workers filled most new roles while foreign-born workers lost ground. Wages are growing faster than inflation. Manufacturing orders appear strong, but exact data are delayed due to the recent shutdown. Tariff Adjustments and Manufacturing Investments: The White House lifted remaining tariffs on Brazilian goods such as beef and coffee to ease grocery prices. GE Appliances will shift more production to Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee due to U.S. tariffs and competitive pressure from Whirlpool. China unexpectedly resumed large soybean purchases and placed a new wheat order, giving U.S. farmers encouraging news. Border Crossings Fall and Medical Strain Eases: Hospitals near San Diego report a dramatic drop in injuries among migrants who fall from the border wall. Emergency rooms say they can finally prioritize American patients because crossings have fallen to lows not seen since the 1970s. Judges Block National Guard Deployments: A federal judge in Washington blocked Trump's deployment of the National Guard to the capital despite clear data showing that Guard operations sharply reduced crime. Similar rulings in Memphis and other cities reflect what Bryan describes as political obstruction at the expense of public safety. Somali Welfare Fraud Funds Terrorism Abroad: City Journal reports that Somali migrants in Minneapolis defrauded Minnesota's Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program of hundreds of millions of dollars. The money was routed to clan networks and to al-Shabaab in Somalia, making Minnesota taxpayers one of the largest funders of the terror group. More than fifty individuals have been charged. Bryan warns that state leaders have tried to minimize or dismiss the scandal for fear of appearing xenophobic. FBI Analyst Fired After Displaying Pride Flag: An FBI trainee claims he was terminated for displaying a Pride flag at work. The Bureau denies this. Bryan discusses his own experience serving alongside gay and lesbian officers and argues that all personal politics, identities, and symbols should be left outside the workplace so that the mission remains the focus.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump sedition accusation Slotkin Crow, former intel officials illegal orders video, Deep State political activism, Zohran Mamdani socialist NYC mayor elect, mortgage rates falling deportation effect, GE Appliances reshoring tariffs, China soybean wheat purchases, San Diego border crossings ER cases, National Guard deployment ruling DC, Minneapolis Somali welfare fraud al-Shabaab, FBI pride flag firing claim

Today's Headlines: President Trump finally announced that he signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act — though we still haven't actually seen the signature. AG Pam Bondi now has 30 days to release the files. Then, in true Trump escalation fashion, he hopped back online to call for the arrest and death penalty for several Democratic lawmakers — all military or intel veterans — after they released a video reminding service members not to follow illegal orders. Trump labeled it “seditious behavior, punishable by death!” The White House later tried to clean it up, insisting Trump does not want to execute Democrats. Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard quietly rewrote its policies so that swastikas, nooses, and Confederate flags are no longer “hate symbols” but merely “potentially divisive.” Nothing says troop readiness like officially pretending racism is a quirky personality trait. In New York, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is meeting Trump at the White House today — a meeting Mamdani's team requested, even as Trump is withholding $18 billion in federal funding for NYC infrastructure. Immigration crackdowns continue: A federal judge ruled Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to D.C. illegal — though the ruling is paused for 21 days so the administration can appeal. Meanwhile, the immigration sweep in North Carolina wrapped up with over 250 arrests, and the next wave of 250 federal agents is headed for New Orleans. The Department of Education also dropped its new student loan rules, recategorizing a bunch of very real, very necessary professions — nursing, social work, counseling, cybersecurity, engineering, OT, PA, teaching — as not professional degrees. The result, lower lifetime borrowing caps for the people we literally need the most. And lastly, the CDC's vaccine safety page has now been rewritten to align with RFK Jr.'s long-debunked conspiracy theories about vaccines and autism. Science is cancelled, apparently.

Join Right On Radio for a fast-moving, live episode that unpacks the buzzing political drama around sedition, treason and the charged phrase "punishable by death." The host opens with scripture in the show's Word on Word segment (Isaiah 43:2 and 1 Corinthians 1:4–5), a fundraiser update, and a promise to end with an uplifting story. Expect candid commentary, listener chat, and behind-the-scenes context for items dominating the week's headlines. The main segment explores what the host calls a multi-layered psychological operation: the back-and-forth between President Trump and Democrats over a viral video suggesting service members can refuse illegal orders, Trump's incendiary posts, and the broader messaging embedded in public appearances. The episode examines how these signals may be intended for different audiences and how familiar songs, social posts, and timing act as coded communications. Listeners will hear analysis of the Elon Musk–Trump split and recent rapprochement, the revived interest in the Epstein files and how that played into partisan strategies, plus a historical aside tying high-profile figures to long-running conspiratorial threads. Audio clips and references include Carl Higbee describing real-world consequences when political messaging intersects with military operations, and a breakdown of Executive Order 13773 and its potential to redefine coordinated, multi-agency responses to organized corruption. The show connects current events to enforcement actions at home: ICE roundups, NGO investigations, National Guard and military deployments, biometric security measures, and the political appointments that can accelerate or stall those efforts. The host discusses Pam Bondi, interagency politics, and the possible legal and operational tools being prepared behind the scenes. Also featured are critical takes on public figures and movements: a review of a Bill Clinton clip and related historical allegations, as well as an extended critique of Nick Fuentes—questioning his influence, possible grooming and role with young men, and how his rhetoric fits into broader cultural and religious narratives. Expect sourced clips, live reactions from the host, and comparisons to past political strategies. The episode blends hard analysis with lighter moments: a comedian's retelling of the Lazarus story, course announcements about decoding biblical patterns, and closing encouragement to love God, family, and neighbor. Guests and clips include Carl Higbee and archival comments from Bill Clinton and Nick Fuentes; the host weaves them into a thesis about accountability, national-security framing, and what might come next. Listeners should come away prepared for a mix of investigative theory, military and legal context, media decoding, and spiritual reflection. The episode promises concrete clips, close readings of public posts and policies, and a hopeful sign-off to send you into the weekend.

President Trump says Democratic lawmakers should be hanged for sedition. A judge is blocking National Guard deployments in Washington. The FCC warns of growing government pressure to free speech, and bi-partisan Florida groups oppose offshore drilling.    

On Friday's Washington Times Front Page: A federal judge has ruled the Trump administration broke the law in deploying the National Guard to patrol the streets of Washington, D.C., without the city's approval, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is struggling with low approval ratings at home and scrambling to contain a burgeoning corruption scandal, and more.

//The Wire//2300Z November 19, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UNREST EMERGES IN DEARBORN MICHIGAN AS ANTI-ISLAM DEMONSTRATIONS GET UNDERWAY. EPSTEIN FILES TRANSPARENCY ACT PASSES IN HOUSE AND SENATE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Michigan: Tensions have become inflamed following demonstrations over the past few days in Dearborn. The entire affair revolves around one man, Jake Lang, who is attempting to start an "America Against Islamification" movement in Dearborn. So far several clashes have been reported between Lang's group and residents.Analyst Comment: Jake Lang doesn't live in Dearborn, he lives in New York. He's also currently running for office in Florida, and attempting to unseat Ashley Moody from her Senate seat in 2026.Indiana: More details have come to light regarding a fatal traffic accident that occurred on I-65 in Boone County over the weekend. Goderdzi Gujabidze was driving a pickup truck hauling another vehicle on a trailer when he collided with a National Guard convoy. His truck collided with one HMMWV, killing one Guardsman, and wounding the three other soldiers inside the vehicle. Gujabidze was arrested by ICE on Monday, as he is an illegal immigrant from the nation of Georgia.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Congress, the bill to force the release of Epstein documents passed in the House and the Senate, and is expected to become law once signed by President Trump.As a reminder, President Trump has already mandated the release of these documents several times. In the world of classified documents, the President is an Original Classification Authority (OCA) so any documents that are classified for national security purposes always have been able to be released, so Congressional involvement was unnecessary. Additionally, the Binder Incident from just a few months ago cannot be forgotten either; this entire affair was already settled and allegedly on Pam Bondi's desk months ago. Now, every politician in the country is acting like we're examining this scandal for the first time.At least now, those protecting the Epstein clients are being a bit more honest. Rep. Mike Johnson stated that when more files are released, the documents will be heavily redacted, saying that "We can't release the full Epstein files without redactions due to National Security concerns" and that they need to "make sure we don't do permanent damage to the political system" by releasing the files. This of course led to the immediate assumption being that the Epstein network presenting national security concerns means that powerful elites are indeed implicated, and the US government will protect them to prevent the government from collapsing. Or at least, that's the current narrative that is now the official position of Congress and the White House.This afternoon, AG Bondi stated that a new investigation is ongoing, which will limit the release of most of what Congress just passed. Congress cannot order a federal agency to release documents pertaining to an ongoing investigation, so an ongoing investigation has miraculously materialized. This effectively nullifies the activities of the past few days, and will make sure nothing substantial is ever released.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

A group of Democrat lawmakers with military backgrounds released a video urging service members to "refuse illegal orders," sparking backlash from conservatives who claim it's a call to defy President Trump. Posted by Sen. Elissa Slotkin, the video warns of threats to the Constitution "from right here at home." Slotkin and colleagues have also introduced legislation to limit Trump's authority over the National Guard and military actions, but that context is absent from the video titled "Don't Give Up the Ship."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you haven't heard the first three conversations I recorded with Major General Terry “Max” Haston, go listen to those now!In Part 4 of my conversation with Major General Terry “Max” Haston, we pick up right where we left off: Pushing past the polite version of leadership and getting into the messy, uncomfortable truth.We talk about what really happens behind the scenes when someone climbs the ranks in the military… the jealousy, the backstabbing, the politics, and the weight of responsibility that nobody outside the uniform sees. Max opens up about becoming a general, losing friends in the process, and why firing people (even people he loved) broke his heart.Then we go straight into the topics everyone tiptoes around: Memphis. Chicago. Crime. National Guard deployments. Veterans. Homelessness. The VA system. Unions. Bureaucracy. What's getting better, what's getting worse, and what flat-out pisses us off.If you've been listening to Parts 1–3, you already know: Max doesn't sugarcoat anything, and I'm not here to interrupt him with polite talking points. I'm here to ask the questions most people are too scared to ask, and he answers them with the honesty of someone who's actually lived it.This conversation isn't meant to change your mind, but it is meant to challenge your thinking. Take what resonates, question what doesn't, and let's get into it.- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production

Walking Shield has spent nearly four decades improving quality of life for Native communities across the United States—bridging sovereign tribal nations with philanthropy, federal agencies, and the U.S. military.  Alongside the Walking Shield team, Executive Director, Dr. John Castillo, and Senior Fellow, Mariano Diaz help tribes build the capacity needed to secure federal funding, strengthen infrastructure, and advance true self-determination. Their work blends grassroots trust-building with systems-level strategy, supporting tribes on projects ranging from road repairs and water access to energy development, environmental co-management, and leadership planning. This Episode: What does true collaboration with tribal nations require? Dr. John Castillo and Mariano Diaz highlight the deep assets that guide Native communities, including long-standing governance traditions, cultural and environmental knowledge, and a strong commitment to collective well-being. They share how Walking Shield helps tribes use these strengths to access federal resources, plan for long-term development, and steward land and water. They also discuss the systemic barriers tribes still face, such as underinvestment and complex federal requirements, and how capacity-building can make a meaningful difference. Together with Grant, they explore San Diego's uniquely rich tribal landscape, the growing promise of co-management of natural resources, and why trust, relationship-building, and listening first are essential for any partnership with Indian Country. At its heart, the conversation offers a long view of resilience and strategy, reminding us that when Native leadership is honored and communities have the tools to act on their priorities, progress becomes both possible and lasting. Key Moments: [9:40] San Diego has the most tribes per capita and what that means for the region  [14:02] The capacity gap: why many tribes can't access federal funds designed for them  [16:34] Everybody benefits: how the National Guard helped rebuild dangerous reservation roads  [34:10] Co-management, water rights, and environmental stewardship  [51:15] What partnership looks like when it works  Resources Mentioned: Walking Shield – Improving quality of life for Native communities since 1986 Southern California Tribal Chairmen's Association – Regional tribal leadership and coordination Prebys Foundation's BRIDGE Initiative – Supporting organizations that expand community capacity Take Action: Read and Learn More— Explore the history and present realities of San Diego's tribal nations. Build Relationships — If you work in philanthropy, government, or community development, ask how you can learn directly from tribal leaders. Support Sovereignty — Advocate for funding systems that recognize tribal governments' authority and needs. Visit and Listen — When invited, spend time on tribal lands to understand local priorities firsthand. Keep the Long View — Remember that partnership, persistence, and shared purpose can outlast political cycles.

Former law enforcement officer turned conservative pundit Brandon Tatum — aka “Officer Tatum” — joins Jillian to break down what the media won't touch. Why are mobs attacking ICE, Border Patrol, and even the National Guard? Why are criminals being protected while law enforcement is demonized? And how did illegal immigration become a political weapon powerful enough to tear this country apart? Tatum lays out the ways in which Biden's open border policies hurt the most vulnerable and then lays out why he believes Republicans must create a legal, accountable pathway to citizenship for law-abiding immigrants — or risk handing Democrats permanent political power for decades.Then we get into the big one: race. Tatum challenges the narrative on systemic racism, explains why statistics tell a different story, and warns that media and politics are intentionally racializing everything to divide Americans.His message: reject the manipulation, reject the fear, and start coming together — because unity is the one thing the extremists on both sides can't control.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the coming release of Jeffrey Epstein's files, explosive new evidence of his ties to intelligence services, and the political crossfire now engulfing both parties. He then turns to a sweeping set of immigration updates, covering violent attacks on federal officers, deportation operations in Charlotte and New York City, a federal judge blocking National Guard deployments, and a little known federal program that lets foreign graduates stay in the United States at lower wages than American college students. The show closes with encouraging updates on soybeans, beef supply, and groundbreaking Alzheimer's research. Epstein Files Set for Release: The House passed a bill instructing the Department of Justice to release its Epstein files, with President Trump expected to sign it shortly. Speaker Mike Johnson warned that the measure risks exposing victims, revealing child abuse images, and forcing declassification of intelligence records that may contain sensitive sources and methods. His comments suggest that U.S. intelligence agencies hold Epstein-related material, fueling long-standing questions about whether Epstein worked with the CIA, Mossad, or European services. Political Fallout for Both Parties: Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene reignited her feud with Trump after claiming he blocked earlier Epstein legislation, while Democrats are facing scrutiny over Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett, who coordinated with Epstein during a 2019 House hearing. Newly released emails also show Epstein spent years trying to damage Trump after their personal split, which Bryan argues suggests Trump had no criminal exposure. Violence Against ICE and Border Patrol Surges: Vehicle rammings and attacks on federal immigration officers are up more than one thousand percent compared to last year. Bryan links the trend to incendiary rhetoric from national Democrats, including Senator Chris Murphy's statement that Americans must do "whatever is necessary" to stop Trump. Charlotte and New York Become Deportation Flashpoints: Operation Charlotte's Web caused twenty one thousand students to stay home this week, a sign of how many families are in the country unlawfully. Bryan explains how deportations could free up thousands of homes for working class Americans. In New York, ICE is preparing major operations after city leaders blocked federal agents from accessing Rikers Island, choosing to release violent offenders instead of handing them over for deportation. Judge Blocks National Guard in Memphis: A Tennessee judge ruled that neither President Trump nor the governor can deploy the National Guard to support anti crime operations in Memphis. Her decision contradicts data showing that federal surges dropped homicides, robberies, and shootings throughout the city. Bryan calls the ruling pure political activism that harms the very communities it claims to protect. Texas Redistricting and California Citizenship Rush: A federal court struck down Texas's new GOP drawn congressional map. In California, migrants rushed to obtain citizenship before a harder civics test took effect, a change Trump implemented to restore basic knowledge of American history and law. Foreign Nationals Driving Trucks and Spreading Risk: DHS arrested an Uzbek national living in Pennsylvania who obtained a commercial driver's license despite ties to jihadist recruitment. Bryan warns that thousands of foreign drivers, many without proper vetting, may be transporting hazardous materials across the country. OPT Program Exposes American Graduates: Senator Eric Schmitt highlighted a federal program called Optional Practical Training that allows foreign graduates to work for three years without payroll taxes, making them cheaper to hire than American college students. Bryan says the program, along with H-1B visas, is shutting young Americans out of the workforce. Good News on Food and Science: China appears to have resumed large soybean purchases from U.S. farmers, and dairy ranchers are increasing beef production with new cross bred calves.

Let's talk about Trump's National Guard Deployments falling apart....

Chris Herrington joins the show to discuss how he would evaluate the Grizzlies, Zach Edey, Ja Morant, and more. Sam Hardiman discusses local news and headlines, including the latest with the National Guard.

The Trump administration's deployment and use of the National Guard and federalization of local law enforcement is a dangerous tactic with a potentially significant long-term impact moving forward. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss a piece in Hammer & Hope titled “Whose Streets? Trump's Federalized National Guard and the Long Arc of White Supremacy”, which features a conversation between Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò and Elizabeth Hinton about the dangers and impact of the Trump administration's deployment of the National Guard and federalization of local law enforcement, as well as the connection of those actions to history, policy, white supremacy, and social justice organizing, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for November 18, 2025. 0:30 We break down a major federal court decision with sweeping implications for the Constitution and the balance of power between states and Washington. A federal judge has dismissed the Department of Justice’s challenge to New York’s law blocking federal immigration agents from making arrests inside state courthouses—raising an urgent question: Can a state legally obstruct the enforcement of federal law? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Mohammed Bin Salman arrived in Washington D.C. today for a state visit at the White House.The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia came to the US to finalize several trade deals with the Trump administration. A judge in Tennessee has ruled the Governor of the state does not have the legal right or power to deploy the National Guard to fight crime in the state. A three judge panel has ruled that Texas' newly redrawn congressional districts are unconstitutional because they were racially gerrymandered. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We take a look at a growing internal revolt inside the Democratic Party—one that could spell the end of Chuck Schumer’s leadership. Schumer is being pushed out by a party base that has moved far to the left of him. With Senator Cory Booker publicly framing Schumer’s generation of Democrats as the past, we break down what that political language really signals: an impending transfer of power. 16:00 We ask the American Mamas what happened to Marjorie Taylor Greene. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the sudden and dramatic shift in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s public persona—why she’s showing up on left-wing media, apologizing on CNN, clashing with fellow MAGA Republicans, and now openly feuding with President Trump himself. From her failed push to oust Speaker Mike Johnson to her sharp turn toward “unity” messaging, the mamas sort through the contradictions and speculate about the ambition, pressure, and possible political maneuvering behind it all. They also explore why so many once-rising conservative stars—from Dan Crenshaw to MTG—seem to lose their footing in Washington, and whether a shaky ideological foundation makes politicians vulnerable to shifting with the political winds. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We react to Northwestern University’s newest “well-being initiative”: a free vending machine stocked with everything from Narcan and fentanyl test strips to condoms and Plan B. By placing life-saving tools, basic necessities, and abortion-inducing medication side-by-side—accessible at the push of a button—the university is sending a troubling moral message: that all choices carry the same weight and all consequences can be conveniently erased. 26:30 We tackle an unexpected moment of honesty from longtime media insider Fareed Zakaria. Despite his résumé across some of the nation’s most left-leaning outlets, Zakaria used his CNN platform to spotlight a politically inconvenient truth: America’s affordability crisis is overwhelmingly concentrated in places governed by Democrats. We Dig Deep into into why policies in deep-blue states like New York and California consistently deliver higher costs and poorer outcomes, even as voters continue re-electing the same leaders. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We talk about the misnamed Affordable Care Act that has made healthcare less affordable by adding layers of bureaucracy. Costs could be lowered through greater price transparency from hospitals and clinics, and by eliminating “concierge” health insurance that covers routine, guaranteed services like checkups. Instead, insurance should function like car or home insurance—covering unexpected, high-cost events, not routine maintenance. 35:30 Plus, Nicki Minaj publicly supported President Trump’s comments about global Christian persecution, and that's a Bright Spot. Though known for explicit music and public feuds, Minaj identifies as a Christian, and Christianity is about grace, not perfection. After Minaj reposted Trump’s message, UN Ambassador Mike Walz invited her to speak at the United Nations, where she thanked Trump for drawing attention to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. 40:00 After years of positioning herself as one of Trump's strongest allies, Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling Trump a "traitor." She's leaning into fringe conspiracy theories like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson with their theories about Charlie Kirk. At some point, we just have to say, "Whoa." 41:30 And we finish off with a day in 1883 that changed the way we keep time.

One step closer! The Senate moved swiftly to approve legislation Tuesday forcing the Justice Department to release the Epstein files— acting hours after the nearly-unanimous House vote to send the bill to the desk of President Donald Trump, who spent months trying to kill it. Also on the show: A Tennessee chancellor temporarily blocked Gov. Bill Lee from continuing to deploy the National Guard in Memphis, Marjorie Taylor-Greene calls Trump a traitor for not honoring her free loyalty to him, and we play two rounds of Impossible Trivia!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The FBI told Congress Thomas Crooks was a motive-less ghost. TOTAL LIE. Miranda Devine just detonated the cover-up: 17 secret accounts, pro-Trump kid groomed by neo-Nazis, sudden 2020 flip to rabid anti-Trump psycho, deep in the furry fetish cult (they/them pronouns), then poof—vanishes online. Same subculture as Charlie Kirk's alleged killer. The FBI knew and buried it. Kash Patel gets briefed on every “tendril” yet suddenly the bureau can't find a thing? Same Kash now flying his country-singer girlfriend on taxpayer G5s while the rest of us get the middle finger. Corruption doesn't change jerseys—it just changes pilots.Major Fred Galvin—27 years of combat, zero KIAs under his command, betrayed by his own generals—comes in swinging. He'll break down Trump federalizing the National Guard for LA: right call or political theater? When governors lose cities to cartel fire, whose job is it to stop the bleeding? Fred's seen brass sell out warriors for headlines—he's not here for excuses.Then we march straight into Dearborn, Michigan, where Mayor Abdullah Hammoud just told a Christian resident: “You don't belong here, Islamophobe—get out!” while honoring a guy who blesses jihadi martyrs and promises Hezbollah will “take care of the job.” Street signs celebrate terrorists, Arabic subtitles on every post, and half the police force is Muslim in a city that now openly rejects the melting pot. TPS keeps Somali deportations on ice while America gets colonized block by block. This isn't immigration—it's invasion. 4PM ET: lock in, rage on, or watch your country become the Third World overnight.

Alders rejected Mayor Brandon Johnson's proposal to reinstate Chicago's corporate head tax to raise roughly $100 million annually. Chicago previously had a head tax from 1973-2014, when then-Mayor Emanuel eliminated it. Now the proposal to reverse course remains one of the biggest hurdles to passing next year's $16.6 billion budget. We're discussing the support and opposition in the City Council. Plus, National Guard troops may be leaving Chicagoland, and the area's holiday markets are ready for their comeback.   Good News: Invisible Institute event on 11/20 Want some more City Cast Chicago news?

A Nashville judge, appointed by a RINO Republican governor, has blocked the National Guard from patrolling the streets of Memphis. County Mayor Lee Harris and the other Democrats who filed this lawsuit are pro-criminal.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on a judge's ruling on National Guard deployment in Tennessee.

President Donald Trump will meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on Tuesday. This is the crown prince's first visit to Washington in more than seven years. Trump said he plans to approve the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, with defense cooperation one of the leaders' key talking points.Federal immigration agents could begin enforcement operations in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Tuesday, with Mayor Janet Cowell confirming that agents are already in the city. The deployment follows a weekend sweep in Charlotte that led to more than 130 arrests. In Tennessee, meanwhile, a judge has blocked National Guard deployments in Memphis, but temporarily paused the order to allow the governor time to appeal.The House is expected to vote on a bill on Tuesday to force the Justice Department to publicly release the Epstein files. President Trump is also changing course on his previous opposition to the bill, calling on House Republicans to vote to release the files. After passing the House, it would then head to the Senate, where it's still not clear how the upper chamber would handle the bill. Trump said he would sign the bill if it passed both chambers of Congress.

Harry talks to Marty Lederman, the former Deputy Assistant Attorney General who authored an amicus brief with a legal discovery that has shaken the Administration's attempt to deploy the National Guard to Chicago and other Democrat-led cities. Marty and Harry explain the critical oversight in the administration's reasoning, and they think through what a bruising legal defeat would mean for the effort to put boots on the ground in American cities. It's a possible game changer in a case Harry has called a "moment of truth for the High Court."
