President Trump is done waiting. From the Oval Office to the world stage, he's calling on Republicans to end the filibuster and push his agenda forward—warning that despite holding power across Washington, America is slipping backward. Abroad, Trump is doubling down on support for Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu, even as BiBi faces three corruption trials and new questions emerge about his alleged role in funneling funds to Hamas through Qatar.Today, geopolitical analyst Halsey English joins Joe to break down explosive new revelations that the U.S. is preparing to build a $500 million military base on the Gaza border. Is this about peacekeeping—or planting America deeper in Israel's conflicts? With 10,000 troops planned and zero transparency from Washington, the stakes for Middle East stability—and U.S. taxpayers—couldn't be higher.Then in Follow-Up Wednesday, Joe takes aim at previous stories around campus violence, societal erosion, and government corruption. From UC Berkeley's racial double standard to Senator Scott Weiner dodging real questions, and DC Draino calling out election crimes—Joe connects the dots on a system unraveling. No filter, no fear—just truth that cuts through the noise. Buckle up.

As the longest government shutdown in American history drags on, Joe Pags unpacks what could come next — including whether Senate Republicans will invoke the “nuclear option” to finally end the gridlock. Pags explains how the filibuster could be history, what that would mean for both parties, and even tackles the viral question: Could President Trump run for a third term? (Spoiler — the Constitution says no.) Then, Sen. Roger Marshall, physician and GOP leader, joins Pags after today's meeting between President Trump and Senate Republicans. They dive into the risks and realities of ending the filibuster, the Democrats' past use of the same tactic, and whether it's time for Republicans to fight fire with fire. It's a fascinating mix of political history, constitutional insight, and real-world stakes — the civics lesson Washington doesn't want you to hear. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ladies and gentlemen do not panic. Yes, the democrats won big yesterday, but they won in areas they were supposed to. Mamdani's victory speech raised some eyebrows within the democratic party as even the liberal media called a "character change" in the mayor elect of NYC. Clay Travis checks in with the Conservative Circus to talk about his new book, the election results and sports. Plus, AOC, tariffs, and for some weird reason a lot of Christmas music.
In recent days, President Trump issued two furious tirades demanding that Republicans end the Senate filibuster to reopen the government. He ranted at great length in demanding this “NOW” and exploded in all-caps while urging the “NUCLEAR OPTION.” As many noted, this undercut Republicans, revealing that they could simply end the shutdown themselves, ultimately showing that they control the government. Then Trump ranted about his horror that health care premiums are set to spike for millions. This, too, undercuts the GOP, because guess who won't extend Affordable Care Act subsidies to prevent that? Republicans! Trump's fury forced Mike Johnson into an awkward routine declaring that the president is “angry” because...the government hasn't reopened. But this just showed how disconnected Trump is from all this, highlighting the Trump-GOP refusal to do the hard work of negotiating a settlement. We talked to Fair Share America organizer Maura Quint. She discusses Trump's deep laziness, how this is perceived by low-info voters, and whether this will allow Democrats to penetrate Trump-dominated info spaces. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

It's Monday, November 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Blind Pakistani Christian man falsely accused of blasphemy against Muhammad Nadeem Masih, a 49-year-old blind Christian in Pakistan, has been arrested and charged with blasphemy against the false prophet Muhammad, punishable by death, reports Morning Star News. Martha Yousaf, his nearly 80-year-old mother, said that Waqas Mazhar, a Muslim man, often harasses her son, sometimes extorting money from him and other times throwing water on him or calling him names. Mazhar, the Muslim, works as a parking contractor in Lahore, where her blind son earns a meager income providing a weighing scale for petty merchants. She said, “Sometimes kindhearted visitors would also give him more money due to his disability, but the park's Muslim workers used to steal it from his pocket.” Some, including Mazhar, had also taken loans of various amounts from the Christian blind man but refused to return the money despite his repeated requests. When Masih went to work on August 21, Mazhar and other mean Muslims refused to let him set up his makeshift stall, roughed him up and took him to the police station where the police, to their shame, mercilessly beat the blind Christian man and forced him to admit to the false blasphemy charge. In John 15:18, 21, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first. … They will treat you this way because of My name, for they do not know the One who sent Me.” Human Rights Watch said, “Blasphemy [against Muhammad] accusations are increasingly weaponized to incite mob violence, displace vulnerable communities, and seize their property with impunity.” Pakistan ranked eighth on Open Doors' 2025 World Watch List of the 50 most dangerous countries for Christians. King Charles III strips Prince Andrew of title and housing Last Thursday, King Charles III made a shock announcement confirming that he will strip Prince Andrew, his brother, of both his title and his housing at the Royal Lodge, a lavish 30-room property, which sits in close proximity to Windsor Castle, reports the New York Post. In Andrew Lownie's biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, he documents that during a taxpayer-funded trip to Thailand, “Andrew had 40 prostitutes brought in the space of four days. This was all enabled by diplomats.” Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Lownie said this about Prince Andrew. LOWNIE: “He's been caught lying time and time again. I suddenly found researching my book, you couldn't take a single thing he said without checking it. And I think the King [Charles III] has realized that he hasn't been telling the truth. And so, the evidence against Andrew is overwhelming.” Plus, Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, claimed in her posthumously-released memoir, Nobody's Girl, that Prince Andrew sexually assaulted her three times when she was 17, which he has denied. Numbers 32:23 says, “Be sure your sin will find you out." Democrat Senator John Fetterman: “We have to be better than this!” On Darkins Breaking News, Democratic U.S. Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania took issue with his fellow Democrats for voting to shut down the U.S. government 13 times in a row. FETTERMAN: “We're a Democrat, we're not allowed to just open this up. I mean, then our party has bigger problems than I thought we might have already. That's not controversial. Pay everybody. It's a failure. “And to all of the viewers, I'm apologizing that we can't even get together and just open up our government.” REPORTER: “[Minority Leader Senator Chuck] Schumer said, ‘This gets better politically every day for Democrats.' What do you say to that?” FETTERMAN: “Ask the hungry people on Saturday. Americans are not leverage. This is not some game show about who's winning or whatever. We have to be better than this.” As a result of the Democrats' refusal to fund the government, 41 million Americans, who receive food stamps now, will not receive them starting this past Saturday. Plus, the pleas of the largest federal workers' union fell on deaf ears, reports NBC News. Speaker Johnson contrasts Trump's wins with Democrat clowns Appearing on Sean Hannity's TV talk show, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, provided a contrast between President Trump's successes of delivering tax cuts, a strong border, a reduction in crime and world peace with the Democrats in the U.S. Senate who have voted 13 times to shut down the government. JOHNSON: “What stands out tonight is the stunning contrast of what we're seeing. History is being made. “Here's President Trump showing peace through strength, using his power and position to bring peace to the Middle East. I mean, a truly massive, historic foreign policy achievement, returning hostages, restoring security to Israel, setting a foundation for lasting peace, and reducing taxes on hard-working Americans at the same time and ending the border crisis and ending the crime crisis, and reducing fraud, waste and abuse in government, and now settling international conflicts all around the globe. “Here are the Democrats on Capitol Hill acting like a bunch of clowns. They're trying to lie to the American people. They're trying to play politics with government funding, and real Americans are being harmed. I think there is such a stark contrast. “I'm not sure there has ever been such a stronger contrast between two political parties, the Republican Party is delivering for the American people and the Democrats trying to make a show out of this.” The 13th U.S. Senate vote on October 28th was 54-45, with only three members of the Democratic caucus voting to reopen the government, reports The Hill. They include Senators John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Catherine Masto of Nevada, and Angus King of Maine, an independent who caucuses with Democrats. It needed 60 votes to advance. The "60-vote rule" in the Senate refers to the cloture vote needed to end a filibuster, which is a tactic that allows the minority party to delay or block legislation. Initially, after the first cloture rule was adopted in 1917, ending a filibuster required a two-thirds majority or 67 votes. In 1975, the threshold was reduced to the current 60 votes or three-fifths majority. Trump flirts with nuclear option to end Senate filibuster President Donald Trump has flirted with the idea of the so-called nuclear option which would deep-six the cloture vote altogether, enabling the majority party to pass legislation with a simply majority vote. On TruthSocial last Thursday, he wrote, “It is now time for the Republicans to play their ‘TRUMP CARD,' and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW! “WE are in power, and if we did what we should be doing, it would IMMEDIATELY end this ridiculous, country-destroying ‘SHUT DOWN.'” However, President Trump does not appear to have enough votes from within the Republican caucus to end the filibuster. The Democratic shutdown is animated, in part, by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York's concern that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has a commanding 21 percentage point lead over Schumer in a hypothetical match-up in a Democratic Senatorial primary for 2028, reports Newsweek. This is the second longest government shutdown in American history. The longest one lasted 34 days during the first Trump administration, reports CBS News. 61 Planned Parenthood abortion centers have closed in 2025 And finally, Troy Newman, president of the pro-life group Operation Rescue, had some great news, reports LifeNews.com. He said, “61 Planned Parenthood locations in total (including referral centers) have shut their doors since our 2024 survey — a record number.” The ripple effect of President Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill is saving lots of babies from abortion. Planned Parenthood was defunded $600 million of taxpayer money for a year which has resulted in these inevitable closures. Speaking of Prophet Jeremiah in the womb, God said, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” (Jeremiah 1:5) That divine statement is true of each of us.

In this episode, Tara unpacks Donald Trump's latest Truth Social post urging Republicans to “initiate the nuclear option” and scrap the filibuster — a move that could reshape the balance of power in Washington. She explores whether Trump means a full repeal or a targeted approach for continuing resolutions and how this strategy plays into the GOP's struggle to pass a new budget amid mounting pressure from Democrats. With holiday travel chaos looming and a $200 billion demand for illegal immigrant health care at stake, Tara highlights the high-risk political chess game unfolding in D.C. The episode closes on a festive note as listeners call in with eerie Halloween tales — proving that even in politics, there's room for a good scare.
Tara unpacks Donald Trump's explosive call for the “nuclear option” — eliminating the Senate filibuster — as political chaos brews in Washington. What started as a fight over continuing resolutions and budget control has now spiraled into a Halloween showdown over welfare abuse, border policy, and the fate of America's taxpayers. Tara breaks down shocking new numbers showing how millions of illegal immigrants are collecting U.S. benefits while private-sector job growth stalls, and she exposes how Democrats are using welfare as a weapon to build permanent political power. Plus, a lighter side — spooky Halloween stories from listeners and a look at Trump's proposed immigration overhaul that could reshape refugee priorities for good.

President Trump's trip to Asia continues to be fruitful, President Trump and the Prime Minister of Japan Sanae Takaichi signed a deal that will bring $500 Billion into the United States. The new technology prosperity deal involves both countries committed to rapid advancement of cutting-edge science and technology – including artificial intelligence (AI), quantum technology, and biotechnology. The U.S. and Japan also agreed to a new mining agreement for rare earth minerals, helping to secure the supply of these elements that are crucial to technological and mechanical innovation. Domestically, Senator Ron Johnson's Shutdown Fairness Act would have gotten essential workers and military families paid, but Democrats voted no on that. As the shutdown drags on Senator Johnson says the filibuster has prevented us from becoming as Socialist country and he is not ready to remove it at this point. The ACA subsidies that Democrats are bemoaning about are an atrociously wasteful option to prop up a flawed and failed Obamacare system. Senator Johnson unpacks the subsidies and the broken Obamacare that has millionaire subsidized and millions of fraudulent zero-premium 'ghost' accounts. Featuring: Sen.

Todd tackles the core question of the moment: should the Senate filibuster be set aside to reopen the government? He breaks down how cloture works, why a simple majority could be enough under the so-called “nuclear option,” and why he says this is a Schumer-led shutdown. Todd also reacts to Sen. John Fetterman's surprising openness to scrapping the filibuster for funding bills and a rare moment of clarity on The View where Bernie Sanders concedes a fair point about lawmakers' pay during a shutdown. Plus: the left's outrage over Trump's White House ballroom project, and what history tells us about renovations at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Conservative, not bitter—just the facts, the mechanics, and the stakes.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: Knowing that the Senate went ahead and jammed through Kimberly Guilfoyle's appointment to be an ambassador at the expense of longstanding procedural rules just affirms the already established situation of the Senate. Framing it as a steady erosion of John Thune's values as an institutionalist is kind of funny, but likewise not super revealing about what it means to be a Republican at the moment.

On this episode: Senate Republicans pushed through a major change to how presidential nominees are confirmed, lowering the threshold to a simple majority and allowing many nominees to be approved in large groups rather than one by one. The change applies to more than 1,200 positions across the federal government, including ambassadors, U.S. attorneys, and military appointments. Supporters argue it will speed up confirmations and prevent backlogs that can stall an administration's agenda. Critics warn it weakens Senate oversight, sidelines the minority party, and chips away at institutional norms designed to protect bipartisan cooperation.Roll Call reporter Ryan Tarinelli joins host Norman Leahy to explain what exactly changed, why Republicans chose this moment to act, how the move fits into a decade of similar Senate rule fights, and what it might mean for the future balance of power in Congress.There have been three other uses of the nuclear option in recent years, all of which affected how the confirmation process works in the Senate. In 2013, Senate Democrats used it to change the threshold to invoke cloture on non-Supreme Court nominations from 60 votes to 50 votes. The two other recent uses of the nuclear option occurred during Trump's first administration. In 2017, Senate Republicans expanded Reid's rule change from 2013 to include Supreme Court nominations. In 2019, Senate Republicans used the process to reduce the length of post-cloture debate on nominations from 30 hours to 2 hours.Read Tarinelli's reporting: https://rollcall.com/2025/09/11/gop-changes-senate-rules-to-speed-some-confirmations/ Follow our coverage: https://news.ballotpedia.org/2025/09/12/senate-republicans-invoke-nuclear-option-to-change-nomination-rules/ Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover new details on Charlie Kirk's assassination, major economic signals ahead of a Fed decision, Senate Republicans' “nuclear option” on confirmations, Trump's crackdown on drug ads, immigration fallout with South Korea, and global headlines from Sweden, Germany, and North Korea. Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend. Charlie Kirk's Final Flight and Killer Hunt: VP JD Vance escorted Kirk's body home on Air Force Two, calling him “a true friend” and vowing, “You ran a good race, my friend. We've got it from here.” Investigators recovered a Mauser rifle and cartridges allegedly marked with Antifa and transgender slogans. The assassin, still at large, is described as a man in his mid-20s. Economic Warning Lights: Producer inflation drops as businesses eat tariff costs, but jobless claims hit a four-year high. Analysts expect a quarter- to half-point Fed rate cut next week. Senate GOP Fast-Tracks Trump Nominees: Republicans changed rules to bypass Democrat obstruction, clearing the way for 150 stalled executive branch picks. Judicial nominees remain vulnerable to Democrat blockades. Trump Targets Big Pharma Ads: An executive order ends the 1997 loophole allowing short TV drug ads. Pharma may face five-minute disclosures, threatening billions in ad revenue for networks like CNN and Fox. Immigration Fallout with South Korea: Hyundai's Korean workers arrested in Georgia say they warned bosses their visas were illegal. Seoul warns investment may cool without faster visa reform, while Trump explores expedited paths for specialized labor. Sweden's Child Hitmen and Migrant Payoffs: Gangs recruit boys as young as 12 to kill, exploiting loopholes in juvenile law. Sweden will lower prosecution age and pay $34K per migrant to return home. Germany's Migrant Dilemma: Only 1,300 of 1 million Syrian migrants accepted $1,500 to leave. Meanwhile, 80,000 a year gain citizenship, fueling AfD's rise. North Korea Intrigue and U.S. Ops: Kim Jong Un parades his 12-year-old daughter as heir, though his son may be hidden abroad. A failed SEAL Team 6 mission six years ago revealed how close the U.S. came to planting a spy device inside North Korea.

You will be hearing a lot about motions to dismiss indictments based on the Trump Administration and DOJ's “vindictive prosecution” in violation of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the DOJ Manual. But the very FIRST such motion has been filed by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was illegally removed to El Salvador and tortured, and then had a phony indictment brought against him by Trump's DOJ. Will Judge Crenshaw order Abrego Garcia's release from federal detention on his criminal charges this week and dismiss his indictment? Michael Popok takes a hard look at the new filing and makes a stunning prediction. Thanks to Ground News!

As tensions erupt between Israel and Iran, we revisit one of our most powerful episodes: the secret story of Dimona, Israel's nuclear program. In this updated re-release, Noam Weissman explores how Israel became a covert nuclear power, the role of France and the U.S., and the enduring policy of amimut—nuclear ambiguity. Why has Israel never officially confirmed it has the bomb? And how does that decision shape today's existential threat from Iran? This episode offers vital context for understanding the current war, Zionism's survival logic, and the ethical and strategic dilemmas that come with nuclear power in the Middle East.

This week, Scott sat down with Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien and Foreign Policy Editors Daniel Byman and Dana Stuster to talk through the week's big news in Israel and Iran, including:“The Nuclear Option.” Israel crossed the rubicon late last week and took direct military action against Iran's nuclear weapons program, among other targets, in an aggressive unilateral military campaign that has only expanded in the ensuing days. Iran, meanwhile, has reciprocated with volleys of attacks against Israel, some of which are getting through the substantial missile defenses Israel (and the United States) have deployed. It's the Middle East war everyone has feared for more than a decade. How will it come to an end? And what will its ramifications be for the region?“Bibi Got Back.” Israel has threatened to take direct military action against Iran over its nuclear program multiple times over the past two decades but has always stopped short. Why did Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proceed this time? And what will the implications be for his government, which has been teetering on the edge of collapse? And for his relationship with President Trump, his once close ally who declined to back his decision to proceed?“Bye-Atollah.” While Israel's official target has been Iran's nuclear and military complexes, many observers suspect that their real goal is something else: regime change. And recent reports that Netanyahu proposed killing Iranian political and spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini—but relented after objections from the Trump administration—suggest they may be right. What might Iran look like if its current regime collapses? And will it help or hurt Israeli (and U.S.) security interests?In Object Lessons, Tyler sang the praises of online radio station NTS.Live and NTS Guides to all of your quirky and eclectic musical tastes. Scott didn't miss a beat with his throwback recommendation of Schoolhouse Rock song covers, with a particular fondness for Pavement's rendition of No More Kings. And Dana shared his appreciation for analysis that takes Israel's and Iran's strategic calculus seriously.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
