This week on CounterSpin: An email we got this week tells us: “The radical left is up in arms about DOGE. Just think about it — DOGE has exposed BILLIONS in wasteful spending, and is rooting out fraud and corruption at every turn. They're making the government work for the people of this great nation once again, as the founders intended, and that is why the left simply can't stand DOGE.” The ask is that we fill out a survey that represents “our once-in-a-lifetime chance to slash the bloated, woke and wasteful policies in the federal government. Thank you, and God Bless, Speaker Mike Johnson. (Paid for by the NRCC and not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.)” Reports are that Elon Musk is leaving government, going back to make Tesla great again or something. But if that's true, why did we get this weird, sad email? We'll talk about how to miss Musk when he won't go away with Jeff Hauser, executive director of the Revolving Door Project. The New York Times has its stories on the Boeing “non-prosecution agreement” in the “Business” section, suggesting that whether planes drop out of the sky is mostly a concern for investors. A huge corporation paying money to dodge criminal charges is evidently not a general interest story. And the families and friends of the hundreds of people dead because of Boeing's admittedly knowing malfeasance? They're just another county heard from. If you want reporting that calls crimes “crimes,” even if they're committed by corporations, you need to look outside of corporate media. We'll hear about Boeing from independent journalist Katya Schwenk. Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at recent press coverage of trans youth in sports and gender-affirming care.   The post Jeff Hauser on DOGE After Musk / Katya Schwenk on Boeing Deal appeared first on KPFA.

Anna and Jake take a look at House Republican fundraising numbers, with the NRCC having raised over $21 million in March. Plus, why President Donald Trump isn't signing many laws since taking office.

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez voted against the recent Continuing Resolution, citing cuts to essential services in Southwest Washington. The bill reduces funding for veteran services, seismic monitoring, wildfire prevention, and small business support while slashing IRS enforcement. Meanwhile, the NRCC criticizes her stance, calling it a political flip-flop.

This week on Ring of Fire! Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced immediate retaliatory tariffs against the United States following the tariffs that Trump put in place on Tuesday of this week. The Canadian tariffs will cover roughly $155 billion worth of goods coming from our country, and that's just the beginning. Canada also has the ability to completely cut off most of our oil supply as well as the ability to cut power to millions of homes in the United States, which they are also threatening to do. Donald Trump has now cancelled the 1st Amendment on college campuses across the country by proclaiming on Truth Social that the government would immediately stop funding any university that allowed an “illegal protest” to take place, and the students would be expelled and possibly deported if they participated in one of these “illegal” events. Protests in this country are absolutely not illegal, thanks to the 1stAmendment, and Trump is setting up a Constitutional showdown that could severely destroy Freedom of Speech in this country. Minnesota Governor, and former Vice Presidential candidate, Tim Walz has told constituents in his state that if their Republican Representatives aren't brave enough to talk to them, then he will be more than happy to come and talk. The NRCC has officially told Republicans to STOP doing town hall events, leaving voters with no way to air their grievances about the Party's decisions. Walz is showing what leadership looks like, and this is EXACTLY what the entire Democratic Party needs to be doing right now. All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!

In a scene that rivaled 'The Red Wedding' episode of Game of Thrones, a special meeting of the Colorado Republican state central committee on Saturday ousted sitting chair Dave Williams, vice chair Hope Scheppelman, and secretary Anne Ferguson by an overwhelming majority vote of 161.66 to 12 (some members and proxies get fractional votes).The committee then selected Eli Bremer to assume the position of chair, with Brita Horn being named vice chair. Williams has contested the legitimacy of the meeting, but the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) recognized the leadership change in a letter addressed to the state party. Eli joins Dan to discuss the weekend's events.Dick Wadhams joins Dan with reaction to this weekend's upheaval in Colorado GOP leadership, with Dave Williams, Hope Scheppelman, and secretary Anna Ferguson all being voted out of office by the state central committee in a meeting Williams calls 'illegal' and 'fraudulent.' Where does it go from here?

In addition to the presidential race, 435 elections across the country will determine control of the House of Representatives. Republicans are hoping to expand their narrow majority.

Congressman Richard Hudson is the Chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee. When it comes to maintaining, preserving and conserving the things we hold dear, having the right representatives and lawmakers in Congress is a vital element. For the first 2 years of his presidency President Trump was able to pass legislation through Congress and get things done for the American people. When the majority changed and Democrats, under Nancy Pelosi, held the majority it was a different story. A perpetual impeachment story and a January 6th stain on Trump's presidency. Today the Chair of the NRCC is with me to discuss the current majority of 4 Republican lawmakers and how to keep and expand upon that. Rep. Hudson discusses the recruiting process and finding the best person for the job. Currently there are 5 districts that President Trump carried but had Democrats elected to Congress, each district has very strong contenders hoping to flip the representative to Republican. The NRCC has a battle station program to promote campaign branding, and to encourage early voting with swing voters. The NRCC Young Guns highlights up and coming Republican candidates running winning campaigns that are ready to grow the House majority come November.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump should be struck from the ballot for violating Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which applies to certain officials who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion. Does this Section apply to the former President? Can state officials enforce it in the absence of an implementing statute from Congress? Does this Section still apply in 2024?On February 8, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Trump v. Anderson – what may be one of most important cases the Court has ever considered. Join us on the eve of oral arguments as Heritage's John Malcolm moderates a discussion of the legal issues with Josh Blackman (co-author of a law review article on the subject), Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita (who is leading a coalition of 27 states supporting Trump), Patrick Strawbridge of Consovoy McCarthy (former Supreme Court clerk who filed an amicus brief for the RNC and NRCC), and Heritage Senior Fellow Hans von Spakovsky.

Govs. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Gavin Newsom (D-CA) will face off on Thursday in what will be a headline-grabbing debate, putting their states' policy differences and leadership styles in the spotlight.  Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly said she's bringing the same tenacity to the Republican National Committee's fourth primary debate next week as she did to the 2015 GOP debate, where she memorably hit former President Donald Trump on his treatment of women. The campaign arms for House Republicans have not seen the massive slump in fundraising that many feared following the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). X owner Elon Musk ripped companies this week that are boycotting advertising on his social media platform after a recent post of his generated controversy. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott announced Wednesday the state will bus another 70,000 immigrants to Democrat-run cities around the nation amid the Biden administration's ongoing crisis at the Southern Border.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Saturday Night Live accidentally tells the truth about the cult of so-called “transgenderism.”Meet one of Satan's architects in the fallen Country of Washington, Marko Liias. Here, Marko pretends along with the NY-Times that conservatives simply made-up the issue of so-called “transgenderism” while they were out shopping for wedge issues. Marko also pretends so called “trans” rights don't hurt anyone; women in prison being raped by men disagree, people attacked with an axe by a man seemingly upset his Tinder date realized he was a man, or the families of the people murdered in Nashville who are being told the motive of that woman who thought she was a man is “unclear”, despite the massive amount of writing she did and manifesto she wrote. This is the cult-mind we battle and the top-down, billionaire-funded psyop we fight. Gladly, God had already won and we get to fight with him to rescue as many people from Marko and the other gender jackers. Imagine my shock, then, when Saturday Night Live accidentally explained the truth about the utterly made-up, meaningless, black-magic word “transgender” and how it bluescreens people's minds. It's not bluescreening, it's blackmailing that appears to have caused professional Republicans at the NRCC to disappear a fundraiser critical of Bud-Light, and now has other Republicans--sadly, including some on Team Trump--telling us to stop boycotting Budweiser. In reality, this changes nothing as the NRCC hasn't done a thing to stop the cult of gender-denial and will not. What does God say? The Apostle Paul warned us about times such as these, where people reject sound teaching. Loving our neighbor--and, though it's hard--our enemy means we will not stop teaching and preach truth just as Paul explains. 2 Timothy 4:1-5In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.Not everyone will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. It seems clear to me the people who seek to destroy children and families cannot hope to avoid Hell unless they immediately repent. Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”Matthew 7:21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'

Elliott Morris) joins us to discuss his new book on polling, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KM9MBFZ/ (Strength in Numbers), including the early history of polling in the form of 19th century straw polls; how we can be smart consumers of polls by placing their uncertainty in context; and the surprises that have stood out https://www.economist.com/interactive/us-midterms-2022/forecast/senate (in his new model forecasting the 2022 midterms).

Caleb Max, Republican candidate running for Virginia 10th Congressional District, joined WMAL's "O'Connor and Company" radio program on Tuesday to discuss his run for Congress. ABOUT CALEB MAX: Former Congressman Frank Wolf's grandson, Caleb Max is running for his old seat in Virginia's 10th Congressional District - a target race for the NRCC and DCCC. His grandfather held the seat for 34 years from 1980-2015, and Caleb, who is a 24-Year Old Small Business Owner & Farmer is running to take the seat back from the Democrats this November. Caleb is the Founder of the Athenai Institute and Stand Against Chinese Communism (SACC), two organizations dedicated to fighting the CCP. Caleb incorporated a commercial and residential landscape company in 2014 at the age of 17 after cutting his neighbor's lawns since he was 13.  Caleb grew this business from one mower to now having 6 crews with 15 employees and a 500 property client list.  Caleb has also experienced hardship when he bought Pica Deli in Reston, Virginia three months before the Covid pandemic. Caleb also owns a 40-head cattle beef farm at his home in Round Hill, Loudoun County Virginia. Caleb would be the youngest member of Congress if elected. Website: https://www.maxforvirginia.com ABOUT VA-10: Virginia's 10th congressional district is a U.S. congressional district in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is currently represented by Democrat Jennifer Wexton, who was first elected in 2018. The district includes all of Clarke County, Frederick County and Loudoun County, parts of Fairfax County and Prince William County, as well as the independent cities of Manassas, Manassas Park and Winchester. The district closely matches Virginia's voting patterns in statewide races with nearly identical margins as the final statewide results. Beginning when it was re-created in 1952, the 10th district was in Republican hands for 60 of 66 years, including long stints in office by Joel Broyhill (1953–74) and Frank Wolf (1981-2014). Barbara Comstock, a former aide to Wolf, succeeded him after the 2014 election.[4] Wexton defeated Comstock in the 2018 midterms, becoming only the second Democrat to win it. Primary election: The primary will occur on June 21, 2022. The general election will occur on November 8, 2022.
