Joe Untamed unleashes unfiltered truth on the battles defining our republic. This is no tame talk show; it's a war cry for the forgotten, a floodlight on corruption's darkest corners, and a merciless roast of the elite's assault on freedom. From thunderous Veterans Day salutes to deep-state exposés and savage takedowns of the left's emotional chaos, Joe Oltmann Untamed equips you with facts, fury, and faith to fight back. Tune in as we honor heroes, dismantle lies, and reclaim our nation—one explosive, righteous segment at a time. God bless our veterans; God bless the untamed spirit of America!On this sacred November 11, 2025, Joe Oltmann Untamed erupts in a roaring tribute to our invincible warriors—the unbreakable backbone of the world's greatest republic. Launch with a heart-pounding montage of White House and DHS videos honoring those who charged Normandy's blood-soaked beaches and held the line in Afghanistan's unforgiving peaks, declaring: Your sacrifice isn't history; it's the eternal flame of liberty we swear to defend. But as parades fade, the show dives into raw outrage: Why do J6 Pipe Bomber leads go cold while FBI incompetence hides behind silence? With explosive Twitter clashes from Julie Kelly and insider rifts fracturing alliances, we expose the cover-ups stalling justice—no arrests since the Blaze Report. This isn't remembrance; it's reckoning—demanding accountability for the patriots betrayed while the swamp protects its own.Enter the arena with Michael F. Vecchione, the legendary ex-Brooklyn Chief of Homicide & Rackets—the prosecutor who toppled corrupt judges, dismantled mob empires, and secured convictions against Assemblyman Clarence Norman and Justices Victor Barron and Gerald Garson. With decades of battling organized crime and political rot, Vecchione unpacks NYC's activist-fueled DA takeover under Mayor Mamdani, Soros-backed NGOs laundering influence through "advocacy," and the DOJ's kid-glove treatment of Comey and Letitia James—mirroring the rackets he once shredded. Then, flip to unapologetic hilarity in the "Liberals and Low IQ" block: Skewering feelz-over-facts snowflakes with the viral "Liberal Starter Pack" cartoon—kale smoothies, participation trophies, and rainbow totes—while replaying UC Berkeley's Antifa warzone meltdown at a Turning Point event, from brawling arrests to barricade chaos. Cap it with absurd clips: A land-owning liberal spitting in faces, ethnic food bans for Trump voters, Antifa's pepper-spray picnics, and BBC's "trans milk" lunacy. Joe Oltmann Untamed doesn't whisper; it roars—laugh, rage, and rise with us.

Richie is joined by the archaeologist and historian Dr Eoin Lenihan to discuss his new book "Vandalising Ireland." In the book Eoin contends that there is a network — government bodies, NGOs, academics, media — that is actively reshaping Irish society in line with “globalist” values, rather than the interests of “native Irish” culture and sovereignty. He highlights the forced settlement of large numbers of asylum seekers into Irish communities; transformations of local identity; the loss of economic self-reliance and the erosion of local cultural roots.Buy the book here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vandalising-Ireland-Government-Engineering-Globalist/dp/1959666851/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3DDAARWNQA11Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.oTqp8gcrl7ft1xSZmjJoUjNsNEOGU6uOdv4etyLWAwA.PQtc4c5OfC90JjyrZhMJs3RdtVxLlT47_AljEYH0m7c&dib_tag=se&keywords=vandalising+ireland&qid=1762974867&sprefix=vandalising+irelan%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-1-spons&aref=YRGDm3h1qz&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1Follow Eoin here:https://x.com/EoinLenihan

To the tune of hundreds of billions a year. This was ON TOP OF the billions they were sending to Ukraine and about 60 other countries as 'foreign aid'. They extract a massive amount of wealth from the American public yearly. Around $2 trillion, I think. Then, they used the US Treasury payment system to disburse over 100 billion/year to their NGOs around the world to launder that money to themselves. This was probably one of the BIGGEST revenue streams they had. And it was the first one Trump and the DOGE boys cut earlier this year.

Heather Brunskell-Evans, philosopher of politics, author, and academic, speaks about her experience of having protested against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, whereby she held a placard upon which she wrote “I oppose genocide” and “I support Palestine Action.” After holding up her sign, within seconds, Brunskell-Evans was arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 and was swiftly detained. Describing being held in solitary confinement overnight and detailing her treatment in detention, to include being enclosed in a caged area, Brunskell-Evans observes the juxtaposition of two types of police partisanship where, the Pride fluffy arm bands that adorned some of these officers symbolise the wider police support of gender ideology and the concommitant endangerment to women's safety, on the one hand, and on the other, the police force's disregard for civil liberties and the freedom of expression to protest a genocide. Criticising the gender-critical feminist movement which has remained tighly affixed to its Zionism and Islamophobic core, Bruskell-Evans vituperates contemporary feminism pointing to its “intellectual paucity” and “lack of ethics” at the heart of western feminism that denies the many incidents of sexual violence recorded by international and national NGOs, documenting decades of rape and sexual assault perpetrated by the Israeli forces against Palestinian men and women.

As world leaders, businesses and NGOs start their journeys to Brazil for the COP30 climate talks, more than 200,000 people attended ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, the world's biggest energy event. Energy Gang was there to bring you the highlights from the week's discussions. One of the key talking points was the theme of energy addition, rather than transition. In other words, the idea that new renewables and other low-carbon sources are adding to global energy supplies, rather than replacing fossil fuels. With forecasts showing an acceleration in power demand growth driven by AI, and the continuing need for increased energy supply to raise living standards in low and middle-income countries, calls for a rapid transition away from oil, gas and coal seem to many to be unrealistic. At ADIPEC, the conversation centred around the vision of new low-carbon supplies stacking on top of hydrocarbons, to reduce costs, increase access and cut emissions intensity. But there was confidence in the prospect of robust global demand for oil and gas, in particular, for decades to come. To debate that vision and assess what it means for the world, host Ed Crooks is joined by energy executives and analysts who have been part of the conversation. Dr Carole Nakhle is the founder and CEO of Crystol Energy, an independent advisory firm. She was first up to discuss whether decarbonisation targets are being pushed further into the future, and how they can be met if clean energy is complementing fossil fuels rather than replacing them. “Complementarity beats substitution,” Carole says. What does that mean for energy security, access and emissions? Next, Ed spoke with John Gilley, CEO of Kent, which designs and engineers assets for the energy industry, including both oil and gas and low-carbon technologies. John isn't worried about a slowdown in clean energy deployment. When energy is cheaper, it gets used, he says, and solar and wind keep winning on cost. He believes climate change is the greatest challenge of our times, and his purpose at Kent is to support ways to tackle it, while meeting the world's demand for energy. John and Ed talk it all through.Sascha Sissiou is sales director for the Middle East and Africa at Aerzen, a German manufacturer of equipment for oil and gas and other industries. Sascha argues that, far from the momentum towards decarbonisation slowing, it is actually speeding up, as reflected in demand from Aerzen's customers. Demand for flare-gas recovery and other emissions reduction technologies has grown, and Aerzen is rolling out new large compressors for the hydrogen industry. Sustainability standards now influence sourcing, logistics and manufacturing across industries from wastewater to petrochemicals. Next, Clay Seigle, senior fellow at the thinktank CSIS, talks about the implications of sustained oil demand for energy security. On climate, he highlights the importance of industry-led investments in methane controls and carbon capture. Looking ahead, permitting reform could emerge as the next big US energy story; Clay explains why. Finally, as the Energy Gang prepares to switch focus to COP30, Ed sat down with Bjorn Otto Sverdrup, who's the head of the secretariat for the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter. They bring together more than 50 leading oil and gas companies from around the world to work together to cut their emissions. Bjorn says the industry's top CEOs are staying the course on near-term decarbonisation goals with high impact - cutting methane and eliminating routine flaring by 2030 – because they make operational and reputational sense. There will be more to come on this issue at COP30. We will be bringing you all the big stories and exclusive commentary and analysis on COP30 from our energy expert friends, as well as some new voices. So don't forget to follow the show wherever you get your podcasts, to keep up with all our coverage of the climate talks over the next two weeks. This episode was recorded live at ADIPEC 2025, the world's largest energy event, held in Abu Dhabi from 3–6 November. With more than 205,000 attendees and 1,800 speakers, this year's theme - Energy Intelligence Impact - sparked vital conversations about the future of energy.

Fraud usually gets talked about in numbers like how much money was stolen, how many people were affected, how many cases got filed. But behind every one of those numbers is a person who's been blindsided, manipulated, or left trying to rebuild trust in others and in themselves.

International human rights groups are calling for the withdrawal of proposed legislation against Turkey's LGBTQI+ community, who warn that the law could effectively criminalise their community, which is already facing a growing legal crackdown. This week, the New York-based Human Rights Watch called on the Turkish government to drop a proposed law targeting the country's LGBTQI+ community. Amnesty International has made a similar demand. Rights groups sound the alarm The proposed legislation, which was leaked to the media, criminalises attitudes and actions deemed contrary to biological sex, carrying sentences of up to three years in prison. “It's really one of the worst reforms, or proposed reforms, we've seen in many years,” warns Emma Sinclair-Webb, Turkey director of Human Rights Watch. “Because it basically says that the government or the authorities can decide that certain behaviour and attitudes are contrary to biological sex and general morality, and are criminal on that basis.” Turkey's Pride struggling to survive amid LGBTQ+ crackdown Widespread impact Sinclair-Webb claims that with the proposed law criminalising the promotion of the LGBTQI+ community, its impact would be far-reaching. “That could affect journalists reporting on matters connected with gender, sexuality and gender identity. It could mean NGOs working to defend the rights of LGBTQI+ people from stigmatisation and discrimination.” Since the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923, homosexuality has never been criminalised. But LGBTQI+ rights advocates warn that this could change, given the broadly written nature of the proposed law. “It's not even same-sex sexual acts that are criminalised. It's just your appearance. Because the law says anything against biological sex. I mean, it could be very widely interpreted,” explains Öner Ceylan of Lambda a LGBTQI+ rights group in Turkey “So, this could be a woman with short hair or wearing trousers,” adds Ceylan. “Let's say I'm on the streets, I'm being myself, and I can go to jail for it for three months. Then I'm released, and what happens next? I can easily go back to jail according to that law. So it can be a perfect excuse to imprison an LGBTQI+ person.” Turkey's embattled civil society fears worst as foreign funding dries up Decade of crackdowns Under the proposed law, people could face between three months and three years in prison, opening the door to lengthy pre-trial detention and the risk of mass arrests  - a prospect that worries rights groups. Since the early 2000s, Turkey's LGBTQI+ community has become increasingly visible and vibrant, particularly in Istanbul, with gay clubs, cafés and bars. The city once hosted large Pride marches, with the 2015 event drawing over one hundred thousand people. However, for the past decade, Turkey's religiously conservative government has been cracking down on the community in the name of protecting the family. Pride marches have been banned since 2015. “Now they've banned any kind of LGBTQI+ event in the public sphere,” explains Yıldız Tar of Kaos, an LGBTQI+ group. “We no longer share public venues or their addresses. So we are already living a kind of criminalised life, as if many queer people coming together is a criminal activity, which it is not.” Tar warns that the proposed law represents the endgame in the government's campaign. “It's the result of a decade-long war against LGBTQI+ people, and if this law passes, this is the last step.” Turkey's embattled civil society fears worst as foreign funding dries up Rising rhetoric and rising In September, the Turkish Interior Ministry filed a criminal complaint against openly gay pop singer Mabel Matiz, alleging that one of his songs violated morals and obscenity laws. Meanwhile, an all-women pop group, Manifest, was detained under the country's morality laws for one of their performances, prompting the group to end their sell-out national tour. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been ramping up his rhetoric against the LGBTQI+ community, even equating it with terrorism. The proposed legislation also targets the country's transgender community, banning gender-affirming healthcare for those under the age of 25. The LGBTQI+ community has vowed to step up its protests against the law and has secured the support of Turkey's two main opposition parties in opposing it. But Tar warns that if the law passes, many in the community will likely flee the country -  though he says he and others are ready to resist, whatever the cost. “We will continue to do our work, to share the very basic knowledge that being LGBTQI+ is not a threat to society. It's not a threat to the family,” declares Tar. “But it will be harder, and most of us will end up in jail.”

U.S. kinetic strike on Venezuela designed to unleash the mother of all migrant caravans millions strong, escorted by NGOs and Mexican troops, flooding through Trump's broken border promise. While founding-stock Americans starve under a staged government shutdown, 59% of illegal invaders live high on EBT food stamps, ready to ignite race wars the moment the cards stop swiping. The Zionist-occupied regime distracts with the Tyler Robinson patsy lie while hiding the Israeli exploding microphone that silenced Charlie Kirk for rejecting dirty Jewish donor cash and calling out the invasion.

Each passing year, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP) gains more urgency. More and more biomes around the world are approaching what scientists call tipping points — the Amazon chief among them. Hosting the 30th edition of COP in Belém, one of the Amazon's biggest cities, therefore represents one of the most significant responsibilities Brazil's diplomacy has taken on in recent times. This week, we are joined by experts with distinct and diverse backgrounds to discuss the climate challenges facing Brazil and the world ahead of COP30. They are:Adriana Ramos: Executive Secretary of the Socio-Environmental Institute, a civil society organization that monitors indigenous lands and other environmentally protected areas across Brazil, working both with governments and on the ground. She represented the Brazilian Forum of NGOs on the Amazon Fund Steering Committee from 2008 to 2013 and served on the Executive Board of the Brazilian Association of NGOs.Carlos Nobre: One of the world's leading climatologists, he is a researcher at the University of São Paulo, co-chair of the Scientific Panel for the Amazon, and a member of academies such as the World Academy of Sciences. He co-authored the research that earned the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 and was also responsible for creating some of Brazil's main government climate centers, as well as the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in the Amazon. Natalie Unterstell: President of the Talanoa Institute, a Brazilian climate policy think tank, and member of the COP30 Adaptation Council and the accreditation panel of the Green Climate Fund. She holds a master's degree from Harvard Kennedy School and has served as a negotiator for Brazil in global climate talks, helping lead Brazil's climate policy development.Listen to the full episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or on The Brazilian Report.Send us your feedbackSupport the show

This week, we reported that U.S.-based international nonprofits are looking into registering sister organizations overseas as they face an increasingly unpredictable political environment at home. Law firms in Canada and the United Kingdom confirm this trend, telling Devex they've seen increased interest from U.S. entities seeking to set up international arms amid growing domestic instability. With authoritarian practices on the rise and civic spaces closing, we reflect on the key takeaways from the Trust Conference in London, where the international community gathered to learn from each other's lessons when it comes to fighting autocracy. We also look ahead to the Second World Summit for Social Development 2025 and examine what its core themes and expected outcomes mean for the global development agenda. To explore these stories, and others, Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba sits down with Managing Editor Anna Gawel and Global Development Reporter Elissa Miolene for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.

3,000 years after Abraham heard the call to go forth, a group of 20 somethings booked a one-way ticket to Ben-Gurion. What if the journey of Abraham in the Torah mirrors the modern-day aliyah experience? In this episode we dive into the modern-day "Lech Lecha" story with Noah Efron from The Promised Podcast. From his Young Judea roots to teaching at Bar Ilan University, Noah shares his journey of making aliyah (immigration to Israel) from America in the early 80s, offering a fascinating perspective on what it means to "go forth" in our generation. Key Takeaways The power of community in the aliyah experience The unique perspective of being both an insider and outsider in Israel The evolving nature of Israeli society towards greater inclusivity Timestamps [00:00:00] – Opening narration: "Picture standing on the edge of an unfamiliar land…" — Sets up Abraham's journey and the metaphor for modern Aliyah. [00:00:48] – Introduction of guest: Geoffrey introduces Noah Efron and outlines his background—academic, political, and as host of The Promised Podcast. [00:02:00] – Podcast welcome + theme framing: Geoffrey and Rabbi Adam introduce the episode's focus—connecting Abraham's "Lech Lecha" journey to Noah's personal Aliyah story. [00:05:46] – Noah begins his Aliyah story: Reflects on family, children, and how Young Judaea shaped his decision to move to Israel with his wife and friends. [00:09:54] – Community and creation: Noah describes building new communities, egalitarian spaces, and shaping Israel through civic involvement and local politics. [00:11:22] – Raising Israeli-born children: Noah reflects emotionally on seeing his kids grow up Hebrew-speaking, communal, and connected—contrasting American vs. Israeli culture. [00:15:42] – Anglo influence in Israel: Discussion turns to American Jews' cultural and social contributions—environmentalism, NGOs, and pluralism—forming a distinct "ethnic group" within Israel. [00:20:31] – Bridging identities: Noah explains how he respects Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) culture and values, despite being secular-left politically—revealing his nuanced, integrative outlook. [00:28:24] – Text study & reflection: Geoffrey brings in a Midrash about Abraham choosing industrious Canaanites; parallels to modern Israeli industriousness ("startup nation") and shared society. [00:29:55] – Closing vision: Noah's optimism—believing Israeli society continues to expand its "us," becoming more inclusive, compassionate, and interconnected. Ends with reflection on Ger v'Toshav (stranger and citizen) identity.

This is a link post. In Ugandan villages where non-governmental organisations (NGOs) hired away the existing government health worker, infant mortality went up. This happened in 39%[1] of villages that already had a government worker. The NGO arrived with funding and good intentions, but the likelihood that villagers received care from any health worker declined by ~23%. Brain Misallocation “Brain drain”, - the movement of people from poorer countries to wealthier ones, has been extensively discussed for decades[2]. But there's a different dynamic that gets far less attention: “brain misallocation”. In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the brightest talents are being incentivised towards organisations that don't utilise their potential for national development. They're learning how to get grants from multilateral alphabet organisations rather than build businesses or make good policy. This isn't about talent leaving the country. It's about talent being misdirected and mistrained within it.

Today I talk with Professor Nisrin Elamin about the situation in Sudan, where we find both a war between rival factions and these same factions continuing counter-revolutionary campaign against pro-democracy forces. We discuss how regional actors such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have contributed to the repression of democracy, and not only the ineffectiveness of NGOs and the United Nations in quelling the violence, but their roles in exacerbating it.  In the midst of forced famine and war, we find the remarkable and heroic efforts of mutual aid groups and resistance organizations in civil society that have made life possible. Elamin explains how this ethos of obligation reaches far back in Sudanese history and culture. We end by talking about the Sudanese Solidarity Collective, a group that Nisrin helped found, which provides a vital conduit of aid to Sudan from its diasporic communities and others.Nisrin Elamin is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at the University of Toronto. She is currently writing a book tentatively titled: Stratified Enclosures: Land, Capital and Empire-making in Central Sudan which focuses on Saudi and Emirati investments in land and community resistance to land dispossession in the agricultural Gezira region. In addition to scholarly articles, Nisrin has published and co-written several op-eds for Al Jazeera, The Washington Post, Okay Africa, Hammer and Hope and The Egypt Independent. Before pursuing her Ph.D., Nisrin spent over a decade working as an educator, organizer and researcher in the US and Tanzania. She is also a co-founding member of the Sudan Solidarity Collective which formed in the aftermath of the current war to support local emergency response rooms (ERRs) and other mutual aid networks and unions leading relief efforts in the face of a largely absent international aid community and civilian state.

Guest Domenic Varricchio, Pluto Commodities, joins to discuss latest announcement from the Trump administration on purchasing meat from Argentina. Is it a concern for American ranchers, or another story of hysteria from the media? Discussion of grain and meat markets, tariff and trade battles, and more.  Guest Scott Walter, author "Arabella", joins to discuss ongoing investigations into dark money operations in the US.

There was a time when NGOs were revered, but now they're often eyed with suspicion. Suparna Chaudhry is an associate professor of international affairs at Lewis & Clark and the author of the forthcoming book “Civil Societies, Uncivil States: State Repression of NGOs.” She joins guest host John McCaa to discuss what happened to the reputation of NGOs – which once were seen as philanthropic lifelines and now are accused of mismanagement and meddling in international affairs – and what happens to the people on the ground when these organizations do not function as intended.

Exploring the boundaries, fringes, and inner workings of civil society, Taru Salmenkari investigates local forms of political agency in China in light of the globalization of political values, practices, and institutions in Global Ideas, Local Adaptations: Chinese Activism and the Will to Make Civil Society (Edward Elgar, 2025). She provides a theoretical framework for globalization, examining new forms of governance emerging with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and how these have reconfigured social power in China.This topical book outlines how civil society has been promoted globally since the 1980s, as NGOs advance development cooperation, democratization, and neoliberal third-sector service production. Salmenkari studies the outcomes of these processes in China, where civil society promotion met strong localizing forces rising from NGO activists'' own values, governmental regulation, and local society. Evaluating various forms of Chinese self-organizing, she discusses the social omissions of Chinese environmental NGO agendas, Confucian ties in global translations, gay self-organizing, and the idea and practice of Minjian. The book identifies complexities within Chinese civil society and how it navigates academia, global partnerships, social exclusions and alternative values, analyzing how these conflicting positions influence Chinese politics and society.

In this hard-hitting episode of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine pull back the curtain on the media's latest misinformation and America's deeper societal decay. They start by exposing The Wall Street Journal's false claim about U.S. sanctions on Ukraine before diving into Trump's controversial decision to import Argentinian beef, revealing the layers of global trade, ranching corruption, and mRNA concerns the media won't touch. The conversation then shifts to Portland's homelessness crisis, where profit-driven NGOs and radical ideologies keep people trapped on the streets. With powerful insights from activist Kevin Dahlgren, the hosts explore mental health reform, psych evaluations for high-responsibility jobs, the moral collapse of modern institutions, and the urgent need to rebuild America's spiritual and civic foundation.

On the October 22 episode of Right On Radio, Jeff opens with the Word on Word segment (Psalm 34:18–19) and welcomes returning guest John Brisson of "We Read the Documents". The show blends scripture, listener interaction, and a wide-ranging conversation on current events from a Christian worldview. Jeff and John discuss the latest legal developments — referrals to the DOJ, sealed indictments, and talk of criminal charges for high-profile figures like John Brennan, James Comey, and John Bolton — and whether those actions will lead to broader prosecutions or a grand-conspiracy RICO approach. They explore the implications for midterms, the potential for cooperating witnesses, and debates over pragmatic prosecutions versus charging more substantive crimes (war crimes, treason, etc.). The hosts cover personnel moves in the Trump orbit (Dan Scavino overseeing appointments including U.S. Marshals), Navy JAGs, and the risk of labeling dissidents and NGOs as terrorists — plus concerns about civil unrest tied to a continuing government shutdown and possible food-stamp interruptions. Other topics include supply-chain and retail shifts (Walmart's transition toward warehouses and staging roles), rumors about stores and government staging, and audience questions about social stability. John shares supply-chain insight on retail-to-warehouse conversions and listeners weigh in via live chat. The conversation turns to UFO/alien coverage — Japan's newly released images, Atlas 31A, Tucker Carlson's coverage, and the possibility of a "false alien disclosure" or Project Bluebeam-style deception. Jeff and John debate the New Age/Ascended Master narratives (Alice Bailey, Blue Avians, Archons) and warn how spiritual deception could be framed as an alien arrival designed to mislead Christians. They note recent platform restorations for some Q-affiliated creators (Jordan Sather, Praying Medic) and talk about censorship, restoration, and who gets a voice online. John mentions his course launch to help Christians recognize spiritual deception and strengthen biblical discernment. Toward the end they unpack concerns about Christian nationalism and Seven Mountain Dominionism, urging listeners to prioritize faithful exegesis and spiritual discernment over political triumphalism. The show closes with reminders to follow John's work (YouTube/Substack/X), an invitation to a 7:30 p.m. prayer call on Telegram, and a call to love God, family, and neighbor while staying vigilant in faith.

Patriots, strap in for a raging episode today on Joe Oltmann Untamed as we torch the NGO money pit—millions funneled to "politically connected" scams laundering $1B in Illinois, fueling stolen elections, homeless crises, and Antifa/BLM riots that gut our society! From Portland's radical NGOs profiting off endless street chaos to U-Haul deliveries arming Antifa mobs at ICE facilities, it's a criminal web demanding arrests. Oregon's $1.5B giveaway to illegal alien healthcare vs. $717M for state police screams "Americans last"—while Oregon's a lost cause, we're not! And that migrant parole fraud? NGOs "sponsoring" thousands they don't even know—pure betrayal. Elon Musk drops the hammer: Soros orchestrating taxpayer heists to NGOs dismantling the world—it's time to expose and indict these thieves! Ignite the inferno as former Brooklyn Chief Prosecutor Mike Vecchione—homicide boss, rackets slayer, and legal legend who nailed judges and mobsters—joins us to shred NYC's socialist Zohran Mamdani's crime-coddling blueprint! From abolishing misdemeanors to flooding streets with mental health teams over cops, we'll grill him on how this "compassion" invites chaos, emboldens repeat offenders, and leaves prosecutors handcuffed. With his Fallen Angel series and decades prosecuting corruption, Mike's insider takedown will arm you against the soft-on-crime wave—don't miss this prosecutor's righteous fury! We dive into "Americans Last": Oregon's budget betrayal and Antifa's Portland siege, then Trump's Middle East masterstroke—Phase One peace deal frees hostages, releases 1,900 Palestinians, and halts the guns! Netanyahu honors Trump as Israel's ultimate ally, eyeing a historic award. But the dark side? Iranian bombs, anti-Semitism smears, TikTok to Israeli-linked Larry Ellison, and son David's CBS grab—media, courts, military control? Plus, a wild website paying $15 to "discuss" Jewish podcasts—censorship or psyop? Honor Charlie Kirk's 32nd with Portland patriots' mural and God Bless the USA sing-along!

Senator Ron Johnson joins us to discuss the implications of government surveillance on elected officials. With a focus on separation of powers and privacy violations, Senator Johnson shares insights from his decade-long investigation into federal corruption. He emphasizes the need for thorough internal investigations and congressional oversight to expose the truth behind these actions. Congressman Mike Rulli joins us to discuss the current political landscape, focusing on the ongoing government shutdown and the implications of healthcare policies. He shares his insights on the Democratic Party's shift towards radicalism, the influence of figures like AOC, and the challenges faced by moderate Democrats. Rulli emphasizes the Republican Party's commitment to protecting benefits for hardworking Americans and addresses the threats posed by NGOs and political violence. Finally, we engage in a compelling conversation with Simon Hankinson, a fellow at the Heritage Foundation, about his provocative new book, The Ten Woke Commandments. Simon shares the inspiration behind the book, reflecting on his experiences while serving as a foreign service officer and how they shaped his understanding of the cultural shifts in America. We delve into the key tenets of the book, discussing the ideological battles surrounding free speech, gender identity, and the erosion of historical truths.
