1. Support for Regime Change Without “Boots on the Ground” Regime change can be morally and strategically justified when it leads to the fall of tyrannical or hostile regimes (e.g., Soviet Union, Iran). Strongly distinguishes between: Non-military or indirect regime change (diplomatic pressure, moral support, rhetoric, economic pressure) Full-scale military invasions, which the speaker opposes based on lessons from Iraq and Libya. Frames “regime change” as a concept unfairly discredited due to past U.S. military failures. 2. Historical Analogy: Reagan and the Cold War Ronald Reagan is a model: “Peace through strength,” rebuilding the military without large-scale invasions. Moral clarity and public rhetoric (e.g., “evil empire,” “tear down this wall”) are catalysts for systemic collapse. The power of words and leadership signaling can inspire dissidents inside authoritarian regimes. 3. Iran as an Active Enemy of the United States Iran is fundamentally different from prior dictatorships: Actively funds terrorism targeting Americans Governed by a theocratic regime portrayed as irredeemable Open U.S. rhetorical and moral support for Iranian protesters and dissidents. Acknowledges uncertainty and risks following a revolution but argues the status quo is worse. 4. Venezuela: Engagement With María Corina Machado A bipartisan Senate meeting with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado following her meeting with President Trump. Highlights her strategic emphasis on: U.S. unity Avoiding partisan attacks on Trump She is an effective, pragmatic opposition leader acting in Venezuela’s national interest. Strong ties between U.S. senators and Venezuelan communities, especially in Florida and Texas. 5. Trump’s Role in Global Opposition Movements Donald Trump’s leadership and rhetoric is a motivating force behind opposition movements in: Iran Venezuela Cuba These three countries are simultaneously nearing potential regime collapse or elections. Claims this could represent the most significant geopolitical shift since the fall of the Berlin Wall, while acknowledging high risks. 6. Military Operation Against Maduro (U.S. Arrest) A recent military raid targeting Nicolás Maduro: Maduro described as being protected by Cuban military forces Operation allegedly resulted in: No American fatalities Multiple enemy combatant deaths The Senator visited three wounded U.S. soldiers recovering in San Antonio. Emphasizing: Their bravery Their role in “changing the Western Hemisphere” Symbolic gestures (retrieving bullets/shrapnel as mementos) Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Visit with U.S. Soldiers Wounded in the Maduro Raid Senator Ted Cruz visits three U.S. soldiers wounded during a raid intended to arrest Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. All soldiers are recovering in stable condition and none suffered life‑threatening injuries. One soldier helped plan and lead the raid and continued fighting after being shot. Two soldiers requested keepsakes from their injuries (a bullet and shrapnel), which Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth approved as a morale gesture. Emphasis on: Heroism and discipline of U.S. forces No American fatalities despite being outnumbered Significant Cuban forces defending Maduro were reportedly killed 2. Symbolism and Morale Soldiers and their families (wives present) showed strong morale and faith. Soldiers expressed eagerness to return to duty. A former commanding officer expressed regret at missing the mission, reinforcing camaraderie and pride. 3. Meeting with Venezuelan Opposition Leader Maria Corina Machado Cruz met with Maria Corina Machado, Venezuelan opposition leader now living in exile in the United States. Machado: Previously awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Met with President Donald Trump at the White House Symbolically presented Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize as gratitude for U.S. support 4. Political Situation in Venezuela Widespread celebration in Venezuela following Maduro’s removal. Some political prisoners released, though still monitored. Current acting leadership (Delcy Rodríguez) is described as illegitimate and a continuation of the Maduro regime. Machado strongly advocates for: Free and fair elections A swift election timeline (Cruz suggests within six months) 5. Bipartisan Senate Meeting Machado met with about a dozen U.S. senators, including Republicans and Democrats. Cruz praises her decision to pursue bipartisan unity instead of partisan attacks. Unity from the U.S. is portrayed as critical for Venezuela’s democratic transition. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Fidel Castro stole everything but their love and their lives. Same with my other grandparents Rafael and Ophelia and my Mom. They lost everything but their love and their lives. Now there's hope of a free Cuba for our long lost family there and hope of making past wrongs right once again. I'm with President Trump all the way. Cuba should be a rich, island paradise and it can be as a US territory. It's a strategic asset for our safety too as a base of operations to defend our homeland in the mainland US. There's no downside to toppling the communists who've only stayed in power by killing and jailing Cubans for decades. Now is the time. It can also serve as a helpful spot to run any US/Venezuela operations that benefits America instead of a narco pass through entity used by our enemies as a constant threat to American safety. Russia, China, Venezuela and many others have used Cuba to threaten us for long enough. It's time we take control and empower the Cuban people. No American blood needs to be spilled. This can be a massive win for the future of both Cuba and more importantly, for America. It's time for the evil of communism to die. https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007882386529542519?s=20 https://twitter.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/2008187454595969240?s=20 rials monthly ($7). https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007930486438682861?s=20 https://twitter.com/RyanSaavedra/status/2007978922458444265?s=20 longer had it.

Mugshot Emerges of Deranged Man Accused in Vance Home Attack, VP Blasts Media for Publishing Home Images Authorities have released the mugshot of 26-year-old William DeFoor following his arrest for allegedly attempting to break into Vice President JD Vance’s Cincinnati home with a hammer. The booking photo, posted by the Hamilton County Justice Center, also lists the charges DeFoor is facing, including vandalism, criminal trespass, criminal damaging or endangering, and obstructing official business. Cincinnati police and Secret Service agents responded swiftly to reports of the vandalism, arriving at the scene to detain the man without further incident. No one was injured, as Vance and his family had already left for Washington, D.C. at that time. https://twitter.com/JDVance/status/2008188525162721647?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2008188525162721647%7Ctwgr%5Ec29f78485445e314b120eda36408e134f4f5245a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Frusty-weiss%2F2026%2F01%2F05%2Fmugshot-emerges-of-deranged-man-accused-in-vance-home-attack-vp-blasts-media-for-publishing-home-images-n2197767 already to DC.

And the Department of War — and the American people — expect justice. Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly's seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay. To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly's reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly's official and permanent military personnel file. Captain Kelly has been provided notice of the basis for this action and has thirty days to submit a response. The retirement grade determination process directed by Secretary Hegseth will be completed within forty five days. Captain Kelly's status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action. These actions are based on Captain Kelly’s public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders. This conduct was seditious in nature and violated Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which Captain Kelly remains subject as a retired officer receiving pay. https://twitter.com/TonySeruga/status/2008201370458075286?s=20 energy, and corporatism, all are reliant on the narcos for dark funding.

President Trump shut down a fake news reporter who was trying to create a wedge between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. A legacy media reporter tried to stir up a little trouble and President Trump promptly shut her down. “What you say that Marco Rubio has your ear more than the Vice President right now?” a reporter asked President Trump. Trump shut it down. “No! They both do. JD is very smart and doing a great job and so is Marco! I would say they're equal,” Trump said. The reporter continued, “It sounds like [Rubio] is the go to and you were just talking about Cuba and what could come next there.” AUDIO: Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2008092328867869069?s=20 a plea of some sort.

This is apparently the overture of what is to come – The Secret Dominion/Huawei Data Center in Belgrade, Serbia – that emphatically and officially did not exist – DID exist and was disabled by U.S. gov employees just days prior to the 2024 election. It has now been dismantled, which may disappoint former CIA Director John Brennan, who reportedly financed half of it from the CIA ‘Black Budget.’ The other half of the funding was from our dear friends in China. That’s right, the theft of The US Presidency and multiple other elections worldwide was co-financed by our own CIA – Top Venezuelan engineers who reportedly designed and executed multiple foreign based election frauds in America using Dominion and Smartmatic systems are in America under U.S. gov protection and have provided sworn testimony. They include an engineer who personally helped illegally install Joe Biden as President in 2020 – These engineers are also joined by General Hugo Carvjal, former Head of Venezuelan Intelligence, now in jail in New York (his cellmate is Diddy Combs) and he is cooperating with Fed authorities (see below) – Another Venezuelan General has now also joined General Carvjal in providing 1st person testimony – Official state and court adduced evidence of 2020 election fraud has been compiled for every one of the battleground states. Cowardice and corruption within the American judiciary has scuttled any real progress – Georgia corruption came into better focus last month as Fulton County admitted not following the law concerning over 300K ‘votes’ and then their most corrupt state judge agreed to unseal the 2020 ‘warehouse ballots,’ many of which are officially sworn to be likely counterfeit. What a sad crooked bunch – The DOJ is suing multiple states to require compliance with Federal election laws including HAVA – Georgia is among them – and @AAGDhillon is leading the charge – President Trump pardoned Tina Peters but corrupt Colorado officials refuse to release her from prison. Colorado wants to litigate her role as a Federal officer in their elections while her health declines due to their horrible conditions. Colorado officials are going to pay dearly – An American Armada, the likes of which hasn’t been assembled in this century, sits off the coast of U.S. Election Theft Central. They are resting up after the historic strike extraction of Maduro. They will not idle long. The President promises to clean out all the cartel del Soles thugs and return Venezuela to democratic self governance. A big job but essential to keeping America safe and its enemies out of our hemisphere and out of our elections. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2007981628648206368?s=20 which gave hope to the low-morale Continental Army and boosted enlistment, and eventually led to victory. I think Trump and the US MIL were sending a message. Now is when we start winning the war against the Deep State. I think we have graduated into a new phase of the operation. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2007924998703366560?s=20 necessary for what comes later, when Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and sends US MIL to cities nationwide. If the US MIL are going to conduct mass arrests, the public will need to trust them and trust Trump. So for those asking why Trump is arresting Maduro before arresting treasonous actors in the US, I think there is method to the madness. The high-profile US arrests will likely be towards the end, after more of the public are fully bought in on the operation to dismantle the Deep State. Arresting people is the easy part. Convincing billions of people that high-profile individuals, including former heads of state, need to be arrested… that's the tricky part. https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2008033626294792665?s=20 https://twitter.com/USDOL/status/2007933111729021305?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");
//The Wire//1130Z January 3, 2026////PRIORITY////BLUF: UNITED STATES BEGINS WAR IN VENEZUELA. MADURO CAPTURED IN OVERNIGHT RAID.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Caribbean: The war in Venezuela has begun. Overnight, the United States carried out a Helicopter Assault Force (HAF) raid to capture Maduro and his family, which President Trump states was a success. Maduro is currently being flown out of the country, and large-scale airstrikes are being carried out in Caracas. No American casualties have been reported as a result of the operation, and the forces that launched the raid are already out of Venezuelan airspace. -----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Based on statements made by Maduro's political opposition, he cut a deal. The raid was part of the egress plan to get him out of the country, and he did so willingly. The kinetic nature of the operation was to enable Marudo to escape without his own people killing him, and so far the operation seems to be a success. Whether or not any of this is true is anyone's guess at the moment, but that's the story.Concerning battle damage in Caracas, substantial strikes have taken place. Once the sun rises a more thorough examination of what happened can take place, but right now it looks like most of the military capability in Caracas has been taken offline, with heavy strikes hitting Fort Tiuna, as well as La Carlota Airbase.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//

No American runner made more noise in 2025 than Nico Young.The 23-year-old prodigy smashed the 5,000m American record, claimed his first national title, and battled the world's best in Tokyo. In June, he stormed through the Bislett Games in Oslo, running 12:45.27 for 5,000 meters, which was a new American record. Barely two months later, he claimed his first U.S. title at 10,000 meters in Eugene, clocking 29:02.12 to solidify his dominance on home soil. Then, on the world's biggest stage in Tokyo, Young placed fifth in the 10,000m at the 2025 World Championships, closing his breakout season in a dynamic way.Young's rise has been meteoric but methodical. A former NCAA champion from Northern Arizona University, he first stunned the sport in 2024 by debuting at 26:52.72 for 10,000 meters–an NCAA and American collegiate record–then qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he finished 12th. Turning pro with Adidas that summer, he entered 2025 with sharper focus and the freedom to train through longer, uninterrupted blocks under coach Mike Smith in Flagstaff, Arizona.Now a national champion, world finalist, and record holder, Young owns personal bests of 12:45.27 (5,000m), 26:52.72 (10,000m), and 7:37.73 (3,000m). His performances are redefining what's possible for American distance runners, and he's doing it with trademark composure and humility.Tap into the Nico Young Special.

No American wants to die today. We don't want to be stabbed by a homeless schizo with more than a dozen prior arrests. We don't want to be shot in the chest while we sleep by a lifetime criminal lunatic. We don't want to be stabbed 46 times by a man who didn't want to steal anything, he just wanted to kill a woman working alone. What do democrats want and why do the media work so hard to hide the stories of white women being murdered?

The COPS Act is common sense support for law enforcement and US citizens, preventing illegal immigrants from joining police forces. The Act kills federal funding for any agency that hires illegals, which is happening across the country. Dems also continue to rail against the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” distorting provisions that are preserving Medicaid for US citizens. And the unacceptable rhetoric from an Alachua County School Board Chair, praising the death of “one more MAGA.”

Cold OpenI just heard the duly-elected President of these United States... Donald J. Trump... brag about dropping the atom bomb. On Hiroshima.My god.Steven Colbert? Jon Stewart...?Once, these guys were subversive... were daring. But...But with troops still in the California streets and missiles in Mid-Eastern air...Haven't comedians become nauseatingly... tone dead?When the Comedy stops being funny…We're in deep shit. Especially anybody different. Like, say… autistics..[music theme]IntroYou're listening to Trigger Warnings, episode 2 … a new project of AutisticAF Out Loud podcast.I'm Johnny Profane. Your fiercely divergent guide to what's actually happening in the news.Gimme 10 minutes? I'll give you my neurodivergent world.Today: “Not Everything's Funny: Colbert, Trump .. & Hiroshima.” Military deployments in two cities, Constitutional challenges mounting, and one burning question: Are we witnessing democratic norms under assault in real time? And trying to just laugh it off?For an ever deeper dive, I've included footnotes and readings in the subStack.Content Note: civil unrest, military deployment, law enforcement actions, concerns about democratic institutions + experiences & opinions of one autistic voice... in my 70s.[music theme]ShowAct 1: The Unprecedented BreakI just heard the duly-elected President of these United States... Donald J. Trump... brag about dropping the atom bomb. On Hiroshima.[1]At a NATO summit.In front of the world.My god.Let me tell you what just happened. Because the News? They aren't "reporting" just how fucked up this really is.[music freedom, 8 bars]No President Has Ever Done ThisSince the guy who dropped those bombs in 1945…Harry Truman…stopped defending his decision…cuz he stopped being president in 1952.No American president since… has dared… brag about Hiroshima. Or Nagasaki.[2]Not one.You know why? Because even the worst of them understood something. Those bombs killed 200,000 people.[3] Mostly civilians. Women. Children. Grandparents.Even Eisenhower… the guy American history class sayswon World War II… Even he said the bombing "never ceased troubling me." He called it completely unnecessary.[4]Obama visited Hiroshima in 2016.[5] He didn't apologize. But he didn't brag either.Reagan talked about nuclear weapons. But he said "a nuclear war can never be won."[6]Every president since Truman understood this was serious shit. Sacred ground. You don't joke around about vaporizing cities.Not Trump.He's bragging. Comparing his conventional strikes to atomic bombs. Like it's a video game."We have the best nuclear technology," he said. "The best equipment in the world."Like… nuclear weapons were toys.[music]Trump Just Shattered “Normal”Yesterday at the NATO summit in The Hague, Trump compared his strikes on Iran to Hiroshima.His exact words: "I don't want to use an example of Hiroshima. I don't want to use the example of Nagasaki, that was essentially the same thing. That ended that war, this ended this war."[7]He was bragging. Bragging about nuclear destruction. Like a fucking business deal."That hit ended the war," he said. Chest puffed out. Proud as hell.This is what we've come to. The President casually referencing the incineration of 200,000 humans… as a model for current policy.At an international summit.On camera.With full makeup.[music 8 bars, freedom]You know social media… if you take a sec to hit subscribe, like, share? A lot more people will check it out. Just one click… and you do a lotta good.[music, freedom]The Comedy ProblemHow are we supposed to respond? Where's the outrage?In other words, where are the comedians? Most Gen Z-ers and younger get their news from late night comedy shows.[8]Colbert will try out a "new" joke tonight. Stewart will do his smirk. They'll treat this like another Trump gaffe they can mine for laughs.[9]But it's not funny anymore.Once, these guys were subversive... were daring. But...Haven't they become nauseatingly... tone dead?You can't satirize someone who's already become a parody of human decency. Someone the scriptures of all major religions would label simply… evil?Bragging about mass murder... what the fuck is left to mock?Comedy works when there's a shared understanding of normal. When people have shame. When some lines… you just don't cross.But Trump crossed the biggest. With a smile. Not one objection from a room full of reporters. Just brief sneers from a TV full of comedians.So, Canary-in-the-coal-mine time….When the Comedy stops being funny…We're in deep shit. Especially anyone different. Like, say… autistics…[music]Why This MattersThis isn't about politics. Left or right.This is about what kind of country we are.For 80 years, American presidents understood that Hiroshima was different. Special. Unspeakable.[10]They might defend it…quickly, quietly. Say, “It saved lives.” Then quickly, move on.They understood Power comes with burdens… responsibility, accountability, humanity. That killing 200,000 people isn't something you do a victory spike over.Trump doesn't understand that weight.Or worse... he doesn't care.Ya, know, worse yet? Maybe he does care. About the bullying power that his brutish remarks burn into the world's memory.[music]Act 2: When Institutions FailWith troops still in the California streets, missiles in Mid-Eastern skies… and a Bully-in-Chief in the pulpit…Comedy… and art… fall silent.Corporate News? Well it talks… too much. But it just isn't saying anything. They don't cover reality anymore. They've been cowed into repeating Administration lies… through shell-shocked faces.When the President of the United States casually references nuclear genocide... and we fear he might just use them sometime …within the next two weeks…like all of his jokes…that become threats…that become promises kept to his base…Our cultural tools break down.We don't have frameworks for this.We have jokes for corrupt politicians. For liars. For cheaters. That subversive humor can shed a light into Democratic or Republican darkness. Through a shared giggle.But jokes about dropping nukes?They're just distractions. Like… witty comebacks, really killer memes, and the occasional truly thoughtful opinion piece in the New York Times.[music]What We're Really FacingThis is what authoritarianism starts like.[11] Not jackboots and death squads.Just a man who thinks mass murder… is something to celebrate. A man who doesn't understand why some folks might find that disturbing.The scariest part? He said this at NATO. To our allies.Heard round the world. By any country that remembers World War II. What nuclear weapons actually do.Like say, Japan.[music]Are the Democrats' the Alternative?The political opposition? They're not exactly rising to the moment. What the fuck are Democrats doing?[12]Running the same playbook they've used since Hillary lost."We're the adults in the room.""At least we're not Trump. Vote for us because we're not insane.""You just wait for the midterms… oh, boy. We really got him now."We need more than just "At least, we're not that guy."You need to explain why this is fucking terrifying.Wait… Forget all that.Say as little as absolutely necessary.Just fucking act already.[music]Where We Are NowSo here we are. And we're all supposed to pretend this is normal.It's not normal.It's not funny.And it's not sustainable. Maybe not survivable.[music]The TruthTrump just told the world that he thinks nuclear destruction is a deal-making path… worth aspiring to. :Proudly.That's not politics. That's not even partisanship.That's a fundamental break with human decency.And if we can't say that out loud... if we can't admit how fucked up this is...We're already lost.[music AutisticAF Out Loud theme]OutroThis has been Trigger Warnings: Fiercely Divergent News. Reminding you we navigate a world that wasn't built for us Neurodivergents… and it may be time… to build our own.Another warning sign that, ya know… human decency? All bets are off.Which doesn't bode well for anybody who is different.Next week? 10 more minutes of my neurodivergent world.

No subsequent president has publicly celebrated or bragged about the atomic bombings until Trump's 2025 remarks.https://www.nps.gov/articles/trumanatomicbomb.htm[3]: Death toll estimates for the atomic bombings vary significantly. The Manhattan Engineer District initially estimated 105,000 total deaths (66,000 in Hiroshima, 39,000 in Nagasaki) by end of 1945. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons estimates 140,000 in Hiroshima and 74,000 in Nagasaki by end of 1945. Methodological challenges include destroyed records, uncertain pre-bombing populations, and radiation-related deaths over time.https://www.atomicarchive.com/resources/documents/med/med_chp10.html[4]: Eisenhower expressed his "grave misgivings" about the atomic bombing in his memoir, stating he believed "Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary." He also noted his concern that the U.S. "should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment was, I thought, no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives."https://www.aei.org/op-eds/japan-was-already-defeated-the-case-against-the-nuclear-bomb-and-for-basic-morality/Critics note this was a post-war reflection written nearly two decades later, not a contemporaneous military assessment.[5]: Obama visited Hiroshima in May 2016, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to do so. He spoke of the "silent cry" of victims and called for nuclear disarmament while carefully avoiding any apology, stating: "We stand here in the middle of this city and force ourselves to imagine the moment the bomb fell... we listen to a silent cry".https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/obama-at-hiroshima-death-fell-from-the-sky-05-27-2016-103848173[6]: Reagan's famous statement "A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought" was delivered in his 1984 State of the Union address, reflecting his commitment to nuclear deterrence while pursuing arms reduction with the Soviet Union.[7]: Trump's exact words at the NATO summit on June 25, 2025: "I don't want to use an example of Hiroshima. I don't want to use an example of Nagasaki, but that was essentially the same thing that ended that war, this ended this war"[4].https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hit-ended-war-trump-likens-iran-strikes-hiroshima-bombinghttps://cbs4local.com/news/nation-world/president-donald-trump-compares-iran-strikes-to-hiroshima-bombing-nagasaki-claims-successful-end-to-conflict-nato-summit-netherlands-secretary-general-mark-rutte-operation-midnight-hammerThis represents the first time a U.S. president has compared current military actions to the atomic bombings in a celebratory manner.[8]: Research indicates late-night political comedy shows serve as significant news sources, particularly for younger demographics. "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" averaged 8.7% viewership share in 2024, reaching approximately 281,000 viewers in the 18-49 demographic nightly[15][16].https://screenrant.com/stephen-colbert-ratings-late-show-2024-explained/https://screenrant.com/stephen-colbert-ratings-late-show-2024-explained/ Studies suggest these programs have the most impact on politically inattentive audiences who learn about politics inadvertently through satirical content.[9]: Following Trump's Iran strikes, Colbert addressed the actions through his typical comedic framework, with segments like "Trump's Weird Iran War Speech" and jokes about intelligence reports contradicting Trump's claims of "obliteration." Colbert quipped "Oops-a-nuke-y" regarding reports that Iran's nuclear capabilities remained largely intact.https://www.tvinsider.com/1199026/stephen-colbert-trump-f-bomb-rant-monologue-video/[10]: The concept of a "nuclear taboo"—an international norm against the use of nuclear weapons—has been maintained since 1945. Political scientist Nina Tannenwald defines this as "a de facto prohibition against the first use of nuclear weapons" that creates a shared understanding of the illegitimacy and immorality of nuclear weapons use[18].https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_tabooTrump's comparison breaks this longstanding presidential restraint.[11]: Harvard political scientists Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt identify four markers of authoritarian risk: rejecting democratic rules, denying opponent legitimacy, tolerating violence, and curtailing civil liberties. They argue Trump is the first U.S. politician since the Civil War to meet all four criteria19.https://www.newsweek.com/harvard-political-science-professor-donald-trump-authoritarian-how-democracy-778425Constitutional scholar Elaine Scarry argues nuclear weapons create "thermonuclear monarchy" by concentrating unprecedented destructive power in executive hands, fundamentally undermining democratic governance.https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/thermonuclear-monarchy-elaine-scarry/1111087819https://futureoflife.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Elaine_Scarry_MIT_April2.pdf[12]: Democratic responses to Trump's Iran strikes showed internal divisions. House No. 2 Democrat Katherine Clark called the strikes "unauthorized & unconstitutional," while Senator Chris van Hollen argued they violated congressional war powers. However, critics note Democratic presidents have similarly bypassed Congress for military actions, weakening their constitutional arguments[22][23].https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/us-bombs-iran-attacks-trump-constitution-rcna214580https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/23/politics/trump-iran-legal-constitutional-article-1-article-2 This is a public episode.

Victor Davis Hanson: The ‘Donald Trump is Evil' Routine Isn't Going to Cut It Anymore We're living in chaotic times: Theater-wide war in the Middle East, mass “No King” protests in the United States, and a hysterical reaction to President Trump's deportation efforts. Out of all the strife, Trump's opponents offer more “incoherent chaos and nihilism” than actual concrete solutions, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “So, we're looking for positive suggestions from the opposition party. All we hear about Iran is that Donald Trump wants to start a theater-wide world war. This is what we're hearing from Democratic senators. No American president has said, “I am willing to negotiate,” more than Donald Trump with the theocracy. “Then we had our own senator here in California, Alex Padilla. He deliberately did not wear his identification. In fact, nobody knows him. I don't know—if I saw Alex Padilla on television, I wouldn't know he was our senator. He's never done anything. But nevertheless, he had no identification. He heard that Kristi Noem, secretary of homeland security, was going to have a press conference. He barges in. He disrupts it. He tries to make a scene. And what happens? The Secret Service doesn't know who he is either, so they restrain him. And then he becomes a folk hero with his street performance."
So we got a text, of course, from 601. Right? 60 got a way in. It says, Charlie, why lie? Why are you lying, Charlie? As of late May twenty twenty five, president Donald Trump's approval rating among Hispanic voters has declined significantly since his reelection. Well, I got an idea, 601. Let's talk with Tony Delgado. He is the CEO of Latino Wall Street. And, Tony, welcome to the program. How are you? Hey. Thanks for having me on, my friend. Now 601, 1 of our texters says that support among the Hispanic community has declined dramatically since Trump took, was reelected. True or untrue? I mean, listen. There is a lot of propaganda, and there is, a lot of negative press that he's gotten, from the, left wing media around these deportations. Now it's interesting because a lot of Hispanics actually voted for him for deportation. Yeah. Right? We don't want illegal, immigrants. We definitely don't want criminals. You know? He ran on, getting the cartels and cleaning up our streets. Right? And, you know, we look at the numbers. Right? We have 55,000,000 Hispanic Americans who are US citizens, who came to this country legally, and who vote and pay their taxes, and came here for the American dream. Right? Yeah. And those people do not want cartel members coming in more than anyone else. Yeah. But at the same time, right, the left wing media has been scaring, all Latinos, Trump supporters, and, Democrats alike to think that Trump is just deporting everyone with brown skin. Yeah. And, unfortunately, the reality is that's not true. But until we can break through the noise, then, yeah, there is gonna be a lot of fear and uncertainty, in the Hispanic community. But when you look at that new that new poll that came out just in the past three weeks, Donald Trump's support among Hispanics has increased 22%. He's now up to almost 60% job approval rating from Hispanics. That is a dramatic increase in a very short amount of time. Right? Well, yeah. I mean, you look at, the cost of eggs. You look at the cost of gasoline. You look at, you know, inflation and the economy and even even the stock market, right, there was a bunch of fear and uncertainty around what tariffs were gonna do to the stock market, but turned around and the stock market rebounded, right, and had a and had a dip, but we're right back up, almost where we started. Yeah. So I think, you know, similar to all the lies that the Democrats have told over the past eight years about Donald Trump, once it is discovered that those lies are in fact propaganda, his, poll numbers, just like the stock market, are gonna go right back up where they're supposed to be. Yeah. We're talking with Tony Delgado, CEO of Latino Wall Street. Tony, if you strip away all the labels, Democrat, conservative, Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative, and you just get down to the values of the average Hispanic family here in The United States. Very conservative people, aren't they? Absolutely. 75% of Hispanic Americans are Christian. Over 50% are Catholic. Very strict values. They align with the conservative, Christian values of the Republican party. Right? And that's a big reason why they lost the last election, historically with Hispanics and the right? They lost the popular vote Yeah. Because of these left wing, unpopular radical left policies, like having men in women's sports, having men in women's basketball American, whether they're Democrat, Republican, or independent. No American wants that for their children. Yeah. You are exactly right. But when you look at, I mean, the the family unit, I mean, that is that's something the Democrats, first of all, do not like. The liberals out there, they don't like the family unit, but family is a major thing with the Hispanic community, isn't it? Absolutely. I mean, Hispanics are family first. Right? We don't believe in abortion for the most part. We believe in having big families, strong families sticking together, working hard and and living ...
Send us a textThe sensationalist claims about Donald Trump being the Antichrist are nothing new in the world of biblical prophecy speculation. Drawing from five decades of walking with the Lord and forty years of teaching Scripture, I offer a sobering perspective on the confusion surrounding end-times prophecy and political figures.Throughout the years, I've heard countless theories: Nixon was the Antichrist, then Clinton, then Obama, and now Trump. These speculations reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of biblical eschatology. The Scriptures clearly indicate the Antichrist will rise from the Middle East, specifically from the territory of the ancient Roman Empire, and will establish a seven-year covenant with Israel. No American president fits this biblical profile.What troubles me most isn't confusion about external figures like Trump or the Pope, but the dangerous heresies circulating within our own churches—teachings that we are gods, that everything we speak happens, or that true salvation guarantees physical healing. While these false teachers gather crowds and build megachurches, Christians worldwide face genuine persecution for their faith. Instead of speculating about political figures, we should recognize that God has given the church a moment of opportunity. Whether Trump's initiatives in the Middle East represent political strategy or divine intervention, our focus should remain on sharing Christ's message of reconciliation and redemption.Daniel and Matthew provide clear markers for recognizing the end times, and Jesus himself warned about deception within the faith community. As we navigate these challenging days, remember this isn't the millennial reign of Christ—we're in spiritual warfare for souls. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, use every opportunity to share His love, and stand firm in biblical truth amidst rampant speculation and sensationalism.Support the show

“[Coaching] is fulfilling, but it also sincerely does make me better. It makes me a better athlete. Miguel (Marin), just the way that he wanted to get better as a person and as a runner. He was a young person, didn't have life figured out and was still trying to figure himself out. I'm still trying to figure myself out. Just seeing him put the effort into himself that he did. There were so many times that made me be like, ‘I can do this. I can be better and improve upon things about myself and my emotional stability, my mental stability.' All these things improve just by the relationship that we had.” My guest for today's episode is CJ Albertson. Just three weeks after setting a personal best of 2:08:17 at the Chicago Marathon, CJ came into the New York City Marathon and delivered another stellar performance, finishing 10th in 2:10:57. CJ's year has been nothing short of extraordinary—top American at both the Boston and Chicago Marathons, a 5th-place finish at the Olympic Trials, and now, another top-10 finish in New York. No American had ever run sub-2:11 marathons so close together, but CJ isn't one to shy away from a challenge. We'll talk about his mindset, his breakout year, and his relentless pursuit of faster times. Plus, CJ also shares a bit about how he was running in memory of Miguel Marin, who was one of his athletes who ran track and cross country at Clovis Community College. The 22-year-old died in a car crash over the weekend. A GoFundMe has been set up to assist with his family's expenses. You can find the link to it here.

Dana Bash, CNN says the DNC is trying to promote male figures who are not 'testosterone-laiden, gun-toting' guys who like Hulk Hogan. Instead, Democrats are targeting beta males who support women.Oprah Winfrey tells DNC attendees 'if you do not have autonomy over (your body),' and control if or when you have children, 'there is no American dream.' Dan eviscerates this twisted glorification of abortion as being essential to a woman's freedom.
Show Notes and Transcript Drew Allen joins Hearts of Oak to discuss his book *America's Last Stand* which explores his transition from a liberal to conservative stance and analyses the impact of the 2024 election on global politics. We delve into threats to democracy, Trump and Biden presidencies, demonization of Trump supporters, and the importance of critical dialogues on sensitive issues. Drew analyses far-left ideologies and discusses concerns about democratic rights post-January 6 and looks at distortions of historical truths, and racial manipulation in politics. He scrutinises the consequences of embracing socialist policies, government intervention, and challenges to the American dream posed by leftist agendas. This interview highlights the erosion of foundational principles, the criminalization of patriotism, and the need for unified efforts to reclaim freedom and confront societal divisions. Will America vote to Save or Destroy their country come November? Drew Allen, AKA ‘the Millennial Minister of Truth,' is the VP of client development at Publius PR, a premiere communications firm, where Allen has worked as a publicist for many of the biggest names in politics: Peter Navarro, Dr. Naomi Wolf, Dr. Ben Carson, Alan Dershowitz, and Kari Lake, to name a few.

I'm delighted to have Drew Allen with me today, and I've been thoroughly engrossed in his book, America's Last Stand, over the last week. But Drew, thank you so much for joining us today. (Drew Allen) Hey, Peter, I've been looking forward to this, so thanks for having me. Not at all. It's a great book, and let me just bring it up on the screen. That's what people can find, America's Last Stand, Will You Vote to Save or Destroy America in 2024? 2024 and it's a huge question which not only has repercussions for you over in the US but has repercussions for us I think here where I am in the UK and across Europe. It is a global election I think the likes we have not seen before but we'll get into all of that. Drew, for or maybe your UK audience, w e're probably 55% UK, 45% US, and you're obviously a conservative author, columnist, and host of the Drew Allen Show podcast. But maybe you can introduce yourself to those of our audience who haven't come across you before we delve into the book. Well, sure. I'm a guy that should be a far-left liberal Democrat based on my resume, And that's the truth. I mean, you know, I was educated in Dallas, Texas, at an elitist all-male college preparatory school, high school. You know, that was far left. The Jesuits are notoriously left-leaning. And that was the case at school. All my friends were Democrats. Every single one of them were liberal Democrats. I went to Pepperdine for college, but I was a theater major. So Pepperdine is typically associated with a more conservative leaning, if that even exists in the academia anymore. It's still going left as well. But, I was a theater major. So, in the theater world, the acting world, again, I was the lone conservative, effectively. And then I moved to New York City as an actor. And it's a crazy story for another time, I'll write a book about it maybe. But, I ended up getting a job working for Marc Jacobs in fashion. And I moved to Milan, Italy, I speak Italian, and I opened the first retail store in Milan. I stayed there two and a half years, ended up moving back to L.A. eventually and continued acting, ended up producing a movie. I worked for Marc Jacobson managing some other stores in West Hollywood. And, you know, I got I got tired of Hollywood. Fast forward kind of to 2020 and all of that. I lost all my liberal Democrat friends over politics. Not my choice. Not my choice. Their choice. People that were in my wedding, Peter, my best man in my wedding, doesn't talk to me anymore because of 2020. And I wasn't a closeted conservative. That's the thing, too, it wasn't like I was going hiding in Hollywood and everywhere else. I mean, everyone knew what I thought, but it used to be that you could actually live together. And that's what's so scary, and we can get into it about what's happening today globally in the world, this true intolerance. And anyway, I ended up getting involved in politics after 2020. I became a actually I had a publicist and then I ended up becoming a publicist. So, you know, I do publicity for a lot of people, Tulsi Gabbard and Carrie Lake and Dr. Ben Carson. And I mean, there's a whole lot of, a lot of people that I do publicity for. And then also, because I didn't start out as a publicist, you know, I still write, I have my book, I have a podcast and I do interviews like this as well. And I'm deeply concerned about this country. And I never, I never swayed. That's the thing; I've always lived my life in the lion's den. That's why I went through the resume, not to bore everyone, but to help you understand that I've been around these people my whole life and I was not persuaded to join them. I actually was forced and fired to some extent. So, my point is everything I write about, everything I talk about, everything I do, all my positions, they're not just because somebody told me. They're not because I watched some TV host that's conservative tell me to do it. It's because I have been challenged my entire life on those positions and my ideas, and I have never been convinced otherwise. A hundred percent. I mean, the normal viewpoint has to be conservative on our culture and all the things that make it good and great. We had Pete Peterson from Pepperdine. I went over to see him two years ago and had him on the show and love what he is doing over in Pepperdine. But yet that's a whole other conversation. Well, let me pull out some of the things on the book. And obviously, the book is available everywhere, the links are in the description, whether the viewers are watching on any of the platforms or listening on the podcasting apps, everything is available there. But, you start off on just the introduction, saying that the 2024 presidential election is the most consequential election of our lifetime. Democrats have already framed the likely rematch between former President Donald Trump and An incumbent president, Joe Biden, or as I like to call him, the former VP, Joe Biden. That was a Stephen Crowder comment, but as an election that will determine whether or not American democracy lives or dies. And that's a broad stroke. But, I think you're buying on the money that this is one of the most key elections, certainly, that I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. Time and I love politics and always loved US politics, but this is the most consequential election you're buying all the money. Yeah, look, I mean, one of the reasons that I felt compelled to write this book is because, I understand human nature and reality. And that is that it's very hard for mankind, human beings, when they're living in the present, before it becomes history, and right past hindsight becomes 2020, it's very difficult to actually confront and understand from, you know, a space view looking down at the earth, what exactly is happening, how serious it is. That's what's so remarkable, by the way, about 1776, for example, and the founding fathers. They actually did understand what was at stake and they made a decision. And this is why I say, you know, what we're up against today is akin to 1776. Now, we're trying to resolve this problem with our democratic process, if you will, or constitutional republic. We are trying to vote to take back our destiny. And what's so dangerous, of course, is Democrats and rhinos, too. You know, the deep state, the Uni-party, it's all the same. People who represent the government and not the people. These individuals are trying to take away that peaceful means of taking back our destiny by prosecuting Trump and so on and so forth. So, that's what's so outrageous, but, you know, 1776, you know, you had Thomas Paine who wrote Uncommon Sense. And that was so consequential because, you know, you have to understand that back then all the colonists, the early Americans understood was, I mean, they were British subjects. They were loyal to the crown. They were British. I mean, that's the reality. And so for those people to make a decision that they were going to actually overturn that, fight against that and create a new nation was really big. And so that's what's wild. People have to understand about what people did back then, and it wasn't everybody, but it was enough people, obviously, to get that movement going. And so we need to understand that today because, look, we have way more distractions today. So we have, you know, Netflix, we have this fake economy where we're living on borrowed time and with printing trillions of dollars and so on and so all this nonsense. And we have immense propaganda that no one ever could have understood or fathomed in the past to try and convince you that what you experience with your own eyes and reality is not true. Perception becomes reality. So we have all these things we're up against. You could just go and turn on Netflix because it makes you feel better than having a conversation like this and discussing your responsibility in saving a culture, saving society and actually being truly progressive and maintaining those ideals that, you know, were revolutionary in America, which, of course, is that we, the people are master and those in government are servant. And this is what we're up against globally, Peter. It's not just the United States, although we are still the leader because we're such a massively important country. We have so much power. That's just the reality; so it does influence everyone else. But, everyone in the if you look at Great Britain, if you look at what's happening in London, if you look, just look across the Western world and you have a government wherever you are, politicians that believe that rights are not unalienable. They believe that your rights come from them. They believe that they are the master and you are a servant. And that is backwards. And so this is what we're fighting against. Are we going to say that we, the people, the citizen, you know, can make decisions for our own lives? Do we have freedom? Do we have self-determination? Or are we just going to vote and support slavery for mankind again? Because that's the quintessential what this boils down to in its essence. Well, I want to go through chapter one the real threat to democracy and goes through the attacks on trump and not only from Biden, but the deep state by and large, but chapter two you talk about are you better off under Biden presidency than you were under the Trump presidency and you give the quote from Reagan where he looked into the camera in that one debate with Jimmy Carter and asked her, are you better off today than you were four years ago? And of course, the answer is no. Now, I am amazed. Obviously, not there. I crossed the pond over here in London. But I wonder, how on earth has anyone decided to vote for Biden? You look at the polling and Trump ahead in the vast majority of polling. But my question is, how is anyone still deciding to put an axe beside Biden? Yeah, I mean, it's borderline insanity. Anyone who would do that. I mean, you're voting against your own self-interest by doing that. You're voting against your children's self-interest, your own self-interest, your country's self-interest. I mean, that is a vote. It's a cult vote. And as much as the left likes to project in this country and around the world, too, and try and say that, you know, MAGA and Trump's a cult, that couldn't be further from the truth. They need to look in the mirror because a cult is defined by, for example, somebody who would radically change their position simply because the party itself changes. So, this is the Democrat Party in America throughout its history. So, you know, one moment they say, for example, the abortion issue that they hope they can make this election about. But, you know, they'll take the abortion issue and one day safe, legal and rare. That's the mantra by Hillary Clinton, everyone else. And today, the party unanimously, unilaterally, all supports effectively infanticide. And the Democrat voter, not the politician, simply adopts that new position as its own. So, obviously, even 10 years ago, the Democrat voter could agree and understand that there were two genders, two sexes, male and female. You know, you would have been like screaming, you know, from the rooftops if you were to suggest a decade ago that it was appropriate for little Johnny, your 10-year-old boy, to chop off his pee-pee without your permission. And today, the Democrat Party supports that, and the Democrat voter simply either supports it or just pretends like it's not an issue. That's interesting that we are having that debate in the UK and in many European countries, and we had Billboard Chris on recently. Sadly, the US are still not having that conversation, but I hope and pray that you follow, because is that sexual abuse of children has to be key. But chapter four, you title fascists and semi-fascists, and you talk about, obviously, under Trump, there was peace, that he didn't start any war, and that's something our commentators seemingly want to forget. But, this whole thing on Trump supporters, and you in the book, you talk about Biden claimed that Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our public. I don't think we've ever seen that before, where a whole group of society have been called extremists, fascists. This is quite new language. And of course, the deplorables. I'm an honour to be an adopted deplorable, maybe from over here. But, is that hatred of a section of society. And I don't think we've ever seen that before. No, that's never had any place in the United States of America, certainly. I mean, this is a big turning point in our history for a president of the United States. I mean, he's a puppet, but, you know, whatever. Joe Biden, the diaper man himself. Well, this, of course, is is something that is unprecedented. And this is, you know, the Democrats love to get ahead. They basically, the Democrats use this tactic basically just going and accusing Republicans and MAGA of what they're guilty of so that when MAGA turns around and points out the reality that they are that, they've already come out of the gate. It's kind of like putting themselves in bubble wrap. But, you know, that's something that Hitler would say about Jews, for example. That is genocidal talk, by the way. It's always the precursor. You can look in African countries and elsewhere. Us versus them, right? I mean, this is the precursor to a genocide. You dehumanize the other side. And that's they know what they're doing by doing that. And, you know, I mean, that's the we saw this in 22. What's so scary is that you have Democrat supporters. They are people who have been succumbed to the poison of tyranny. They themselves have a tyrannical mindset themselves. And they, you know, with the worldwide lockdowns and COVID and all of that, every country saw this. There was a group of people that turned vicious towards the people that turned out to be right. Like myself, like the writers of the Great Barrington Declaration, for example, these brilliant individuals who pointed out what science had already backed in the past, that mass, for example, didn't work. The social distancing was more harmful than it was good and that you should have a targeted approach. Well, we were obviously cancelled. Those are the days where you're getting booted off of Twitter back then and everything else. And, you know, you had people in this country that would wish harm upon you if you disagreed with the talking point dictated from the far left that wanted to use lockdowns to seize liberty. And they would happily see you hauled off to prison over that. J6, that's another perfect example. The vast majority of those people who had been prosecuted, who were sitting in jails even, they weren't violent protesters. And in fact, we know that many were invited into the Capitol building through open doors and their crime was selfies, misdemeanour offenses, and they've had their rights suspended unconstitutionally in this country. And the Democrats support that. So, here's what I say, Peter, I, and I actually, everyone listening, maybe you'll feel this way too. I am far less afraid of the tyrants in government than I am the tyrants that are my neighbors. Because, the government itself is a small minority of a population. They understand this. Even the Nazis going back to Germany, if they didn't have the complicity of German citizens, they never could have gotten away with what they did, for example. I'm very fearful of my neighbors. If the FBI were to show up at my house, because I did this interview with you, Peter, which is not, it's becoming less and less absurd. Certainly if Biden and Democrats win in 2024, my neighbors would actually be cheering because I live in California, cheering as I was hauled off to jail for committing the crime of. Speaking freely. No, we're seeing that more, and we've seen exactly the same people willing, certainly during COVID, willing to report neighbors to the police, but we haven't gone down the full rabbit hole, as you have, of seeing that political change. Can I, on chapter five, the myth of the big switch, and I find that intriguing, a couple of lines from the chapter, slavery, Jim Crow and discrimination were all championed by the left, by the Democrat Party. But perhaps no lie is more egregious or offensive, insulting to basic intelligence than that of the big switch. According to Democratic myth, in 1964, the Democrat Party miraculously became the party of civil rights and blacks in America, while the Republican Party suddenly became the party of anti-black racism in America. I think we have actually seen the same turn the same twist the same lie here in the UK where we see the conservative party so-called conservative party conservative for name only who actually stand for basic values that the majority of those from a black or a Asian community actually will stand for, because they are traditionally conservative and yet, it's labor who on the left who seem to have vacuumed up those votes. But tell us more about the Democrat Party rebranding to being the party of actually the migrant party or the market party of the black and that's the opposite of history. Yeah, look, it's the greatest, most successful marketing campaign, PR campaign in world history. I say this as somebody who's, you know, from involved in the PR world. I mean, it's amazing that it took root. You know, to make an analogy first, it'd be like if the Nazi party, you know, say they weren't forced to disband after World War Two. It would be like after they killed six million Jews in the Holocaust, they were allowed to survive and in the subsequent elections, they claimed that, you know, they nominated, for example, some Jewish person to lead the Nazi party. And they said, look, we are the de facto supporters of Jews and all of our rivals and opponents are anti-Semitic. You would laugh, I mean, it would be absurd. That is exactly what happened in the United States of America. The Democrat party, it's not just that they were racist, it's that they still are racist. OK, it's that it's not that their policies were racist. It's that they're veiled in anti-racism. But actually, they are the greatest obstacle that black Americans and minorities, for example, in the United States still face. So, the entire history of America, right, the Republican Party was born. And look, I'm not defending the Republican Party, by the way, because we got, you know, mushy losers in the Republican Party. But I'm just talking about what the Republican Party historically stands for. They're not the racist party. Many of them are part of the unit party, but that's a different conversation. Republicans tried to pass civil rights legislation for decade after decade after decade. And they were opposed by Democrats, the same Democrats, in fact, that would later claim to be the proponents of anti-racism and friends of blacks in America. What happened was 1964, basically, let me do it this way. Very short history lesson, I think is important, because Democrats depend upon the black vote in the United States of America. They hitched their wagon to the black vote, not just the black vote, but like getting all of it. It's crazy! So, you got to go back to Herbert Hoover. Herbert Hoover got a majority of the black vote and the Great Depression happened under Herbert Hoover. It wasn't Herbert Hoover's fault, but the Great Depression happened and obviously he got blamed. Franklin Delano Roosevelt won the election against Herbert Hoover when Herbert Hoover ran for re-election. And since that moment Democrats have gone after the black vote and fought to keep the black vote, because they decided early on that because blacks were concentrated in these city centers, if they could get the majority of blacks to vote for them, they could win elections. And they knew back then, before you had unlimited illegal immigration, everything else, that as long as they control the black votes, I mean, that was a key to that. If they lost the black vote, they couldn't win. So, you go to 1964, they've opposed civil rights legislation, even though they're promising to be friends of blacks. And you had LBJ, Lyndon Baines Johnson, who became president because Kennedy was assassinated. Well, he signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was actually Kennedy's bill. Now, they had a supermajority in Congress, which means they did not need a single Republican vote to pass any piece of legislation. But they couldn't pass it, because Democrats in the South would not support the legislation. So, Republicans actually were responsible for getting that legislation passed. And LBJ knew then that he was only doing that to virtue signal to blacks to keep that vote intact, because at this moment in history, blacks were starting to flee the Democrat Party. So, they had to do something and act. And so they replaced the Jim Crow laws with welfare and welfare is slavery, not just for black Americans, but for any American, any person in mankind's history, because the intention of welfare from politicians isn't actually to help you, it's to inhibit you, it's to enslave you. It doesn't help you escape poverty, it prevents you from escaping poverty. And this is what the Democrats have done. So, it's all a sham. Everything Democrats do is about poverty. Political power and control, that's it. It's all a big fraud operation. And Democrats and that's why I read this chapter, because blacks are fleeing the Democrat Party right now. And it's a threat to them. And I want blacks to know and I want other Americans to know and I want everyone in the world to know what the Democrats are guilty of and what they've done and how absurd it is for them to claim that they're the friend of anybody. They're the only friend of themselves in politics. 100% and we've had Brian Strachan talking about the walk away movement, and it's exciting to see that happening as people realise the shallowness of the Democrat position, but there are two other chapters that kind of pigeonhole each other, or bookmark each other and that's chapter 6: Black Votes Matter and chapter 8 The Democratic Party's Racism Industrial Complex. And it's similar here in the UK that it seems though there is an agenda to actually stir up racial tensions. And it seems that these parties are looking for colour in everything. And by that, they are then stirring up a certain agenda, a certain narrative, and actually doing votes on that. We have elections today as we record this in the UK. And this race bidding seems to be a massive part of politics on the left. Yeah. I mean, look, you have politicians, whether it's Sadiq Khan in London or it's Democrats here in the United States of America, and they can't run on their record, because their record by design creates misery. And so what they need to do, it's divide and conquer. Communists did this, Marxists do this, proletariat, bourgeoisie, all that sort of thing. It's the same thing here, just different names. What's happening in America, of course, is they're creating as many victim classes as they can. Then they present themselves as the unique saviors. You guys are all victims and you can't escape your victimhood unless you vote for Democrats. I am your champion. I am your savior. You need me. Vote for me. You know, they're creating rights where they don't exist. They're saying, you know, rights are being taken away when no rights are being taken away at all. So all of these things are intended to divide society up so they can come in and pick them off and play to the crowd; that's what's happening. That's why, you know, I mean, it gets, it's a little bit more complex, because money gets involved too. So for example, you know, the gender theory, for example, is a monstrosity, obviously, anti-scientific, creating confusion in children. And it's destroying society because you need strong men and strong women. And they're getting rid of that. They're coming in between parents and their children, and they're getting rid of tradition, values, and so on and so forth. And so it starts that way. But then with hormone therapy, just for example, just like the COVID vaccine stuff, it's an industry now. So, you have an entire group of doctors out there that are monsters themselves. And they promote this because there's a lot of money to be made in hormone therapy, for example. So, you know, it kind of of snowballs, if you will, but with critical race theory, in particular with race relations in America. In that chapter it's important that I try to explain to people that just like Ford builds cars, the Democrat Party builds racism and racists. And so they tell children that aren't racist. I mean, no child is born racist. That's fundamentally false. That is instilled in them by men and women who have had their hearts corrupted over time in this world that we live in. And so to tell some child that you're a victim because of your skin color or your oppressor, if you're white, for example, I mean, it's morally reprehensible that you would do that, but that is what they were doing to children. And on top of that now, of course, as I mentioned, you've got gender theory as well to further create. And that's what academia does all the way from, that's why they want universal pre-K in America. It's not about helping kids and everything else, it's about getting control of your kids as early as possible. And these public schools, the universities, all they are, it's like going to a terrorist boot camp, you know, for Al Qaeda, except here, you know, they're just creating new Democrat potential voters. You're a hundred percent. And yeah, that you've a whole chapter on critical race theory and DEI, diverse equity inclusion, which really has turned into didn't earn it. I think that's really more or what that best thumbs it up I saw that, but chapter you touched on the whole thing on welfare and slavery, I think that's very specific for me in the UK and the European context. And we have seen that, but you talk about, obviously, Lyndon Johnson starting modern day slavery. And I guess encapsulating Americans and telling them, don't worry, we will look after you. You don't need to look after yourself, the government is here. And I think it was Reagan who said the worst words in the English language are, don't worry, the government is here to help or something like that. Yeah, he said he said the worst. I forget how many words I'll pull a Joe Biden if I try and think of it now. But you have to count them off. The worst words or scariest words are I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Yes, exactly. We've done across Europe, but you're adopting that socialism that we have in Europe. That means that you don't need to work because we will actually look after you. We will bring in a universal basic income. We will bring in subsidized health care. We will bring in free education and nothing is free. Someone has to pay for it at the end, and maybe, I think you will learn that when you've got the cancellation of debts by Biden. Someone has to pay for those billions in the end and it ends up being the taxpayer. Yeah, I mean, this is one of those absurd lies that they've told for so long that people believe, which I mean, one is that the government is your friend. I mean, that's insane to believe these days as well. Well, but it's that something's free, that you can get a free lunch, that anything the government provides is free. I mean, everything the government has must be stolen from the taxpayer first. And the idea that, you know, but, you know, this is the thing, too, the Democrat preys on. The greatest vices of mankind. So, obscene selfishness, for example. So, the college student will say, yeah, make that person. The rich don't pay their fair share is perfect. I mean, this sums up the insipid nature of the Democrat party and leftism and socialism also. Also, it is always to foment division in society. And I ask people, OK, the rich don't pay their fair share. Now, firstly, that's fundamentally not true. The rich pay far more than their fair share, an obscene amount of money. And many people pay no taxes at all, of course. But even that aside, the idea that any American citizen whining about, you know, some millionaire, billionaire having more money than they do, the idea that taking money from them, the government taking money from them is going to somehow make you rich is absolutely stupid. No American citizen, no citizen on the planet has ever gotten rich because the government took more money from the rich. It doesn't work that way, and obviously the government cannot create wealth. They cannot create anything. Now there's certain things, but you have to have a reasonable mind to make the exceptions. When it came to World War II and it becomes vital, for example, that you defeat the axis of evil, if you will, okay, industry gets basically usurped to some extent, and it's all focused on winning a war. I mean, that's about survival in some way. So, you know, but this is the problem. We live in an age of unreason. We live in an age where people cannot think for themselves. They can't carve out exceptions. They can't comprehend any kind of complex or even simple problems that they may face and overcome. It's really, I mean, That's why I have a chapter in there called The American Dark Age. That's where I would point out that if you look at any facet of society right now, is there anything that hasn't been corrupted by the left, by the socialists, by the Marxists? There's not. Culturally, economically, everything is in decline, and that is because of a very sick, perverse ideology that is not new. It's not progressive. It has been around since the beginning of time. Okay, since kings and emperors and everything else. And that's what we're fighting against now. But, we have a situation where in the West in many ways. We've had it so good for so long We've become soft and obviously. We don't, we don't understand ourselves how bad it's going to be because you know we're not like the patriots of 1776 that actually endured something and by the way I would argue that what we're experiencing right now King George iii, peter, was a much more benevolent monarch than the democrat party and Joe Biden. I would take King George the third; he taxed us less he was nicer than the these criminals that are running the country today. I love that you guys complained about your tax on t your two percent tax and now you get Biden, so no other comment to that. No But you talk about looking at the American dark age, and I mean, the American dream is known all over the world, and I talked to Xi Van Fleet the other day, and she talked about moving from America or from China to American and that was a dream. Everyone wanted the American dream, the ability to work hard and achieve what is impossible in many other countries in the world. And yet, it's turned around from the American dream to the American dream is now you sit on your backside, and actually you're just thrown incentives or money by the government, and it's sad looking as a foreigner thinking actually the American dream is one thing the ability to achieve and accomplish and that's now been turned on its head. Yeah, look the American dream doesn't exist anymore, and I'll tell you why, it's not because it never existed, it's because the left in this country has been attacking and trying to prevent the American dream from being possible anymore. The American dream is very simple. It's not just an American dream. I think it's a human dream that you can, through self-determination and with your own work ethic and intellects and abilities, you can make a better life for yourself. That is it. That is the dream, that there is not somebody out there allowed to impede in some obscene way your ability to improve your own life, that if you want to improve it, you can improve it. It's not the guarantee that everyone's going to be rich, but you can be better off. You can improve your circumstances. That's it. And so in America, was it having the home in the suburbs and the picket fence? At one point, that was it. That's fine, that represented something. And it is Democrat policies. It is left-wing policies that are preventing that and making that out of reach. It's nothing wrong with America. It's nothing wrong with capitalism. The problem is the politicians. politicians it is their policies that have made home ownership unaffordable that dream is gone for so many Americans that are my age and younger they can't afford a home they can barely pay their rent. They can't even buy groceries anymore and the left, of course; this is after you read my book read a book called rules for radicals, not you peter, but you know the audience like, read rules for radicals by Saul Alinsky. I read it once a year because I want to know every year, and make sure it's in my brain, what these Democrats are doing, because it's not secretive what they're doing. They talk about it. They've written about it. And what they do with destroying the American dream, for example. Is, according to Saul Alinsky, you create a problem. You create the problem, okay? And then you have a piece of legislation. You have a so-called solution prepared, and you present yourself as the sole person who is uniquely qualified to solve that problem that you created. Of course, you're not ever solving the problem. It's just a way to leapfrog into additional tyranny to get what you want. So, you know, for example, you know, they will create tax policies where they make it, you know, look, when you tax the rich, for example, in corporations or raise corporate taxes, at the end of the day, the consumer and the employee are the ones who suffer. So, their taxation policies claiming to the rich don't pay their fair share, that actually creates less employment, less opportunity, lower paychecks, and it actually ends up benefiting the rich in the end. And then they'll come along after they've done that, and they'll say, again, the rich don't pay their fair share. We need to do this. So, they're creating situations in America, and then they're blaming Republicans for it. Look at California where I live. You can't blame a Republican for anything. Who do you blame? But they won't blame Democrats because people in the state belong to a cult. Well, I was twice in L.A. 2022, and I probably never return to L.A. After seeing what the Democrats. I wish I was there when Reagan was actually the governor and it would have been actually a beautiful state. But at chapter 16, what are you voting for? And you start by saying perhaps no singular human being in U.S. history has been subjected to greater and more relentless political persecution than President Trump. Certainly no U.S. president has been unfairly treated by the media, the Democrat Party, and even establishment Republicans, nor has any president been the subject of greater unwarranted hatred than President Trump. Now, in the UK, we may laugh at Trump derangement syndrome, but you have to live through it and you have to actually engage with people who have this absolute hatred of someone who is so successful in business and has walked away from that and given up a lot to actually enter politics. And people don't necessarily get that. But it's, yeah, who are you voting for? Tell us about that because this hatred doesn't really stem from anything. It simply stems from the media pushing a narrative that tells you you must hit this individual because he's been successful and because he's not Obama or he's not Biden. Yeah. This point in this chapter ties into an earlier one in which I say, you know, if you don't know whether to vote for Trump or Biden, then you aren't American. And of course, I'm making fun of Biden. I'm serious, actually, but I'm also making fun of Biden who said, you know, you aren't black if you don't know whether to vote for me or Trump. Again, racist, right? Right. You know, most of what has been said about Trump is not even true. And that which may have a kernel of truth, if it's bad, pales in comparison to what Joe Biden or any other Democrat are actually guilty of themselves. And so, obviously, I go and dispel some of those things and help people understand you have a propagandist media that will just invent lies about Trump in an effort to. Because, at the end of the day, all Democrats are running on is the fact that they want to present to the American people and others around the world that Joe Biden's a nicer guy than Trump. That's what it comes down to. In the case that's happening right now, this criminal trial in New York, which is a disgrace about so-called hush money, there's no crime there. And I get into it in the book and I explain all that very specifically and how absurd this is. But the point is, there's a trial going on and no crime was committed. So, this jury is being asked what? They're being asked to vote on whether or not they like Trump or not. That's what it comes down to. That's what all of this is about. And they're hoping that they can convince the American voter, for example, that Trump is just a monster and you just can't possibly vote for him. They did this in 2020 as well, they've done it before, and it's fundamentally not true. I mean, I got to tell you, I have so much respect. I don't understand a person, even if you dislike something else about Trump, I don't understand how you can have respect for Trump for what he has suffered for the American people. This is a man who has it all. He doesn't have to do this. And I guarantee you, by the way, if he would just bow out like Nixon did, it would all go away. Or at one point, it would have gone away. Maybe, they've gone across the Rubicon now in terms of their brains; I think they probably have. But, they just can't believe that they can't defeat this man and that the American people won't abandon him. And this is somebody, I mean, I ask people to try and imagine for a moment, Just being in Trump's situation, in one of these situations for a day, he's got multiple lawsuits against him. They're trying to bankrupt him and his family. Imagine the pressure you would feel. I wouldn't be on your show, Peter. I wouldn't be doing PR. I'd be curled up in a ball somewhere crying, because the weight of the world would be crushing me. I wouldn't know what to do. I'd be concerned about my future and my family, and most people cave. Dave, this is a remarkable human being who was built for this moment. I am not saying he's Jesus Christ, by the way, because no man is Jesus Christ. But, he is the right man at the right time in American history. And we are so lucky to have someone that is willing to stand there amidst all these slings and arrows coming at him. And the problem in America, it's not Trump. It's a bunch of weak-kneed Republicans and cowards who won't take any slings and arrows for the man who will go to prison for them. The awesome privilege of, well, seeing him speak three times, but twice this year up in Pennsylvania and South Carolina and actually meeting him and someone who has the energy, who can talk for an hour and a half. Biden can do maybe five minutes and still he's reading the teleprompter. Exactly what it says; completely different individuals. That energy that Trump has is infectious, exciting and something I haven't seen in politics, certainly in the UK. Let me just finish off with the issue on patriotism. Your last two chapters touching on that. And Chapter 17, the criminalization of patriotism. And this is something that you're seeing in the U.S., we are seeing in Europe. I mean, the EU are trying to criminalize any pride of nation states. You give the story of a 12-year-old boy in Colorado who kicked out of class passed for having a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack. And of course, that is the picture, the don't tread on me, that snake. You've got the front page of your book. But it is that, and that of course has history back in the War of Independence, and you go through that in the chapter. It's kind of where does patriotism lie, because under President Trump, it was America first, which should be what every leader of every country is about, putting their country first. And Biden seems to be about America last. Let's do everyone else in America comes last, American jobs, American benefits. You're at the end of the queue after we get through everyone else. Just let's face all that criminalization of patriotism, that the courts going after individuals, the education system, the media. If you love your country, you are the enemy. That's seemingly what everyone in the media is summing up patriotism. Yeah, look, patriotism is so dangerous to tyrants. I'll give you an example that the Biden administration a couple of years ago, the National Archives slapped a warning label, dangerous content label on our founding documents, on the Declaration of Independence. Okay, look, tyrants have to, just like religion, they have to destroy patriotism. You cannot permit a citizenry to feel patriotic because patriotism is one of the greatest bulwarks we have to tyranny taking over a country. If you love your country and you feel unity, right, it's the antithesis of victimhood. Democrats want to divide and conquer. What does patriotism do? It unites a citizenry. It gives them a reason to love their country and love themselves and love one another and bring them together. And that is problematic for people that want to rule over you. OK, not just because you have numbers and that you're united in that sense, but there are a million different reasons. And so this is why for a long time, the left has decades, decades, days before I was Trying to make people feel guilty to be American. That's why the Democrat Party, for example, drudges up the history of slavery. Slavery they want you to feel rotten about your country, because you can't convince a population to destroy itself and give tyrants permission to rebuild if they believe that their country is great, if they believe their country is good, and decent, and moral, and so that's what we have going on here. And I am urging people that if you get anything from them from the book; lean on the memory of what previous Americans have done for us, the sacrifice, whether it was the founding fathers and the American, the revolutionaries, whether it was Abraham Lincoln in 1861. I mean, this is a moment that is as significant to our history and world history as 1776 and 1861. That is not hyperbole, t hat is the truth that I need people to understand. And I want them desperately to understand, but I don't want them to be negative about it. I want them to feel a sense of joy because our ancestors have overcome these obstacles. And I want people to be thanking God that, hey, I am alive right now to meet this moment in history because all we have is ourselves and we are enough. You are enough, whether you're in London or New York City or Chicago or Dallas or some rural place in the UK or America, you have the capacity to save and reverse course, to reclaim your destiny, which is a shared destiny of humanity, to live a life of freedom, free of oppression by your government, these elites that are the most inferior among us who are ruling over us. And so at the end of the day, my message is one of optimism, because I believe in us. I believe in you,I believe in myself, but we have to understand history. We have to be devoted because this is never going to go away. As long as mankind walks this earth, there will be tyrants, the Caesars and Napoleons and so on and so forth, the, you know, Sadiq Khans and the Joe Biden's that are going to try and steal your liberty. So, you know, this is something that's lifelong, and we just have to change our outlook and be a little bit more active. We can't just leave it to the government to take care of us, because they're a necessary evil, not a necessary good. It true thank you so much for your time, I've thoroughly enjoyed the book America's Last Stand and it does give that overview of the issues which you're facing but you can transcribe that over to the UK or Europe, and it's the same battles against common sense and freedom that we are also facing. So, thank you so much for joining us today and of course the book is available as paperback, audiobook, kindle, however you want to get it it's available on all those formats. So, thanks for your time today, Drew. Thanks, Peter.

James Whitcomb Riley (born October 7, 1849; died July 22, 1916) was author of numerous beloved poetry volumes, and widely known for books such as The Old Swimmin'-Hole and 'Leven More Poems, Riley Child-Rhymes, Out to Old Aunt Mary's, and An Old Sweetheart. Born in Indiana in 1849, he was drawn to poetry even before he was able to read. Neglectful of his studies, Riley preferred to take walks in the countryside, read books of his own choosing, and create rhymes, the first of which he sent to his young friends on home-made valentines.A prolific writer and important contributor to children's literature, Riley published more than 50 volumes during his lifetime, many of which were popular successes. His poetry is especially prized for its sometimes whimsical reflection of small-town America and he is remembered for his insight and humor by children and adults alike. As was noted in Indiana Authors and Their Books, 1816-1916, “No American poet—those patriarchs of New England included—has thus far caught the popular fancy, has thus far enjoyed the voluntary following, that was and is his.”-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe
With Xi Jinping's visit to San Francisco, California officially completed its transformation into a communist hellhole. No American flags to be seen. No protests from the LGBT and pro-Palestinian crowd against China's human rights abuses. Just Chinese flags flying and Chinese people in the street celebrating the arrival of a communist dictator. Texas A&M is defying the diversity ban ordered by Gov. Greg Abbott as the university continues to hire based on ideological conformity and racial preference. Chuck Schumer referenced the Hamas attacks on October 7 as “January 7,” and Nancy Pelosi said Biden's list of achievements “goes on and on” if you were wondering how the octogenarians in Congress are doing. Nikki Haley is being roasted after saying she wants to verify every person on social media with their full names. Of course Haley claimed this was for the sake of national security, but it's a slippery slope that goes against the fundamental right of free speech. Ilhan Omar says real faith leaders “oppose violence,” proving once again she's never read the Koran.

"No American should fear that they're going to lose their bank account or their payment processing because of their religious or political views," says Jeremy Tedesco, Senior Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom. Debanking is the newest form of cancel culture threatening society. Tedesco joined Better for America to shed light on how financial institutions like JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America have taken ESG to a radical level, resulting in the unjust closure of ordinary American accounts based on baseless allegations. This leaves only one logical explanation: They cancel those who express beliefs contrary to the left's desired agenda.

Today's poem is by John Lawrence Ashbery[1] (July 28, 1927 – September 3, 2017) , an American poet and art critic.[2] Ashbery is considered the most influential American poet of his time. Oxford University literary critic John Bayley wrote that Ashbery "sounded, in poetry, the standard tones of the age."[3] Langdon Hammer, chair of the English Department at Yale University, wrote in 2008, "No figure looms so large in American poetry over the past 50 years as John Ashbery" and "No American poet has had a larger, more diverse vocabulary, not Whitman, not Pound."[4] Stephanie Burt, a poet and Harvard professor of English, has compared Ashbery to T. S. Eliot, calling Ashbery "the last figure whom half the English-language poets alive thought a great model, and the other half thought incomprehensible".[5]—Bio via Wikipedia This is a public episode.

There is new polling that shows a record 49% of Americans now see themselves as politically independent — the same as the two major parties put together.The biggest and dominant political affiliation isn't Democrat or Republican.

Media descends on NYC courthouse for Trump indictment, spectacle reminiscent of O.J. trial. This could be a day that changes America forever. Dems want to face Trump in 2024. It's a joke to think Trump could get a fair jury trial in New York City. Will judge slap Trump with a gag order? Producer Ali reports from outside NYC courthouse. John Edwards used a donor's money to pay off his mistress and he was acquitted. Trump used his own money. No American has ever lived through what we're about to see.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
So much is happening in real time in our world, obviously. And as a weekly podcast we can't always speak immediately into the events that happen around us that need a bigger conversation. So we decided to take the time to look at those happenings, find some people who could walk us through the big events that have happened in the last 4 or 5 months and pop in with some conversations outside of our regular series for our premium subscribers. We're talking about events that have us rethinking our stand on different issues, legislation being passed or overturned, and justice issues–all in an effort to understand what's at the core of each one and figure out how to react. This week, we're looking at issues around gun control. Wherever your entry point into this discussion is, it's something that's been top of mind for many of us. You may find this shocking, since the divides on this are reported with great zeal via the media, but according to Gallup, a great majority of us believe in the right to own guns. And a whopping 92% of us favor background checks on Every. Single. Gun. Purchase. So, what's the big hubbub about gun control if we're nearly all in agreement? Because right now background checks aren't required for every single gun purchase. Millions of guns have found their ways into the hands of those who are using them for criminal purposes, via sellers who don't do background checks. Consider that fact alongside the stat that firearm deaths are the highest among teens and young adults between 18-34. How can this be, and how can we change it? That's what we're stepping through in this episode with Diana Oestreich, a veteran combat medic who served in Iraq. Diana's an activist who is a self-proclaimed “peace wager” and she's returning to our show to walk us through what's going on and what we can do to change the situation to make the world a safer place for our kids. And spoiler alert: it doesn't require everyone to have to hand over their guns. Thought-Provoking Quotes “Just this year, guns are the number one killer of kids in America. That demands action and I'm committed to it.” – Diana Oestreich “I totally believe that it is A-okay to own a gun. I come from a family of hunters, I am the daughter, the mom, the sister of hunters. Is there a place in the American battery of rights to own an AR-15–a weapon of war? Do you need a weapon of war? No, you don't. Do you know that a grenade is a weapon of war? It is illegal. No American can own a grenade. And that's a good thing.” - Diana Oestreich “The antidote to despair is action.” – Diana Oestreich “The most powerful thing is that our kids know that they are part of doing good in the world. That's something that will make them resilient to violence.” – Diana Oestreich Diana's LinksWebsite Instagram Twitter The Waging Peace Project Connect with Jen!Jen's website Jen's Instagram Jen's Twitter Jen's Facebook Jen's YouTube
