Here's some good news/bad news as we begin this Friday. First the good: We made it to Friday. Now the bad or not-so-great news: you may be spending this weekend indoors. A big wave of Arctic air will send temperatures sliding downward beginning today. Then Sunday the second act moves in, a snowstorm bringing the potential for heavy snow, including here in Northeast Ohio, while in some places in the mid and deep South possible catastrophic ice accumulations are predicted. Complicating the situation: a regional salt shortage that may impact road clearing efforts. The story begins our discussion of the week's news on the “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable.” Power outages could result from the winter storm this weekend but even on calm weather days, Ohio is having a hard time keeping up with rising energy demand. One main driver of that increased demand: data centers. Columbus has become a key location for these centers, with one report concluding it's the second-largest hub in the Great Lakes region. But those centers are popping up everywhere including in Stark County for instance. If you're heading to Downtown anytime soon, you should know that the city has updated its rates for on-street parking and enforcement. The new digital, coinless metered system will give drivers the opportunity to park at a meter for up to four hours, but at increasing hourly rates and enforcement will be extended seven days a week—except in Ohio City where Sundays will not be enforced. Cleveland City Council members are not yet sold on the Bibb administrations "pedal to the metal" approach to shut down Burke Lakefront Airport to open the acreage to lakefront redevelopment. Mayor Justin Bibb has said he would like to see Burker shuttered by 2029. The future of Burke Lakefront will be the topic of our next “Sound of Ideas Community Tour” on March 4. Property owners in Ohio's largest counties are among those that will see their next property reappraisals delayed by a year. Sixteen counties including Franklin, Cuyahoga and Hamilton are pushing back the process. Cuyahoga will next appraise properties in 2031. Fewer Ohioans are enrolled in Affordable Care Act or Obamacare plans after additional subsidies to offset costs put into effect during the pandemic expired last month.

President Trump has been in office for one full year, and while he has accomplished many phenomenal things, his DOJ has left a lot to be desired. Glenn makes the case for why it's time for Attorney General Pam Bondi to be replaced by listing everything the DOJ has failed to deliver on, including the fumbling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and the lack of prosecutions against those involved in COVID. Glenn also makes the case for why the DOJ may be taking its time in bringing prosecutions against the Deep State. Peter Schweizer, author of “The Invisible Coup,” released today, joins to discuss how radical Islamists and the far Left united to "fight America everywhere and all the time." Glenn and Peter discuss how America can survive when immigration goes unchecked. Glenn breaks down one of the most strategic military bases in the world, Diego Garcia, because of its proximity to major foreign players. Montana Auditor James Brown joins to expose a major Obamacare fraud scheme that is costing the state millions of dollars.  Learn more about your ad choices.

【聊了什么】 距离特朗普2025年1月20日第二次入主白宫已经过去了整整一年。站在这个时间点上，我们回顾了特朗普2.0执政周年的赢家与输家。 生活成本问题没有明显缓解，"可负担性"成为年度词汇。ICE在蓝州社区发起的移民抓捕行动引发混乱和悲剧，让共和党在移民议题上的民意优势持续下滑。奥巴马医改增强补贴到期、USAID被拆除、关税政策反复——这些政策的连锁反应正在显现。没有了第一任期的"减速带"，特朗普"放飞自我"的一年里，格陵兰岛从抽象的玩笑变成了认真的外交议程。他能实现"名垂青史"的野望吗？ 迎来特朗普2.0第二年和中期选举年，特朗普又会如何改变美国和世界新秩序？ 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年1月18日晚间。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 00:01:46 特朗普 2.0 一周年：特朗普天性的释放 00:06:06 消失的“减速器” 00:09:30 卢比奥的强势崛起与国安会的弱化 00:21:02 生活成本危机与移民政策的社会反弹 00:38:03 输家盘点 51:18 查理·柯克遇刺：右翼内部的分裂与 MAGA 接班人之战 01:02:34 特朗普式的“公私合营”与政府权力的集中 01:27:12 中期选举趋势、草根组织崛起与新的世界秩序 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： Talich：美国政治和文化历史爱好者 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 【 What We Talked About】 It has been exactly one year since Trump returned to the White House on January 20, 2025. At this juncture, we take stock of the winners and losers of Trump 2.0's first year in office. The cost of living crisis remains unresolved, with "affordability" becoming the word of the year. ICE raids in blue-state communities have sparked chaos and tragedy, eroding Republican advantages on immigration. The expiration of Obamacare subsidies, the dismantling of USAID, and the back-and-forth on tariffs—the ripple effects of these policies are now coming into view. Without the "guardrails" of his first term, Trump has spent a year unrestrained. Greenland has gone from an absurd joke to a serious foreign policy agenda. Will he achieve his ambition of "cementing his legacy"? As Trump 2.0 enters its second year—and a midterm election year—how will he continue to reshape America and the new world order?

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we sit down with Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, a relentless advocate against waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending. Senator Paul discusses the staggering $600 billion in fraud identified by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant and the alarming growth of fraudulent Obamacare policies that benefit insurance companies rather than American citizens.We delve into the Somali scandal in Minnesota, which sheds light on the need for common-sense reforms in government welfare programs. Senator Paul highlights a recent bipartisan effort led by Senator John Kennedy to end the fraudulent practice of issuing taxpayer-funded checks to deceased individuals, a significant step towards accountability.Additionally, Senator Paul addresses the controversial issue of welfare benefits for refugees, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to existing laws that prevent new immigrants from accessing federal assistance for five years. He plans to force a vote on this critical issue, despite the pushback from both sides of the aisle.Joining the conversation is Dr. Rebecca Grant from the Lexington Institute, who provides insights into the current dynamics in Venezuela and the implications of recent U.S. foreign policy. We also hear from the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of ADN America, Gelet Fragela, who shares her perspective on the potential for regime change in Cuba, inspired by the recent events in Venezuela.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's 1,099 days until the legally defined end of the 47th presidency, but we have serious doubts until the execution of a legal midterm election. Greenland remains Danish, despite Trump's threats to invade. It seems there might be a slight conflict of interest in the administration. ICE continues to terrorize people in America, and we expect that to continue to escalate weekly, if not daily.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we have an action-packed lineup featuring FBI Director Kash Patel, who provides exclusive insights into the controversial raid on a Washington Post reporter's home. Patel addresses the pressing question of whether those funding and organizing protests in Minnesota will ever face justice, shedding light on the complexities of law enforcement in these turbulent times.Later, we welcome Fred Fleitz, former Chief of Staff to the National Security Council and current analyst at the America First Policy Institute. Fleitz delves into the recent hypocrisy surrounding Greenland's security, challenging the narratives put forth by European leaders regarding threats from China and Russia in the Arctic region.In the final segment, Brian Blase from Paragon Healthcare shares shocking revelations about potential fraud in the healthcare sector, specifically regarding the recent surge in Obamacare signups. Blais uncovers data suggesting that many of these signups may have been artificially inflated by middleware brokers, raising serious questions about the integrity of taxpayer-funded programs.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hour 1 for 1/16/26 Drew and Chris Temple cover the rising gold and silver prices (3:54). Topics: Fed Independence (12:39), BRICS (17:16), Crypto (19:02), should I sell silver? (22:11), and the gold standard (23:53). Then, Louis Brown discusses Trump's new healthcare proposal (31:22), Obamacare (43:33), and what employers might do (47:34).

From unrest in Minneapolis to a historic economic surge, today's episode connects dots the media won't. As President Trump signals potential use of the Insurrection Act, we examine how depolicing, street enforcement, and political hesitation have reshaped public safety—and what happens when the rule of law disappears. Then, buried beneath the chaos, a stunning turnaround: America is growing faster than China, GDP is surging at 5.5%, wages are rising faster than inflation, and productivity is hitting levels not seen since Reagan. Add in a massive geopolitical shock—China losing up to 70% of its oil supply—and the stakes couldn't be higher. We also break down the fight in Congress over Obamacare subsidies, alleged large-scale fraud, Trump's proposed overhaul to put money directly in patients' hands, and what it could mean for healthcare costs. Finally, a local flashpoint: South Carolina's measles outbreak, vaccine policy, exemptions, and a growing debate parents and lawmakers can't avoid. This is about power—who has it, who enforces it, and who pays the price.

What you're hearing out of Minneapolis isn't random chaos—it's the culmination of years of deliberate depolicing. In this wide-ranging and urgent episode, Lee and Terrell break down claims that city leadership is standing down police, emboldening activists, and allowing street mobs to replace law enforcement. From ICE agents calling 911 with no response, to protesters directing traffic, to a looming showdown over the Insurrection Act, this conversation connects the dots between immigration policy, protest violence, health care fraud, and political control.

David Waldman finally ends the week to review all the crap that happened and predict all the crap that is coming. That's a lot of crap! Donald is joking again! LOL. We should never take him seriously, but literally from now on. If only he spent his time only annexing Nobel prizes. The Proud Boys: Redux lays siege to Minneapolis, guarding the urinal of Greg "Banty" Bovino, demanding the papers of those demanding their papers, holding 5-year-olds hostage, and generally being assholes. And placing Dakota Tribe Native-Americans into concentration camps, aka MAGA. Donald K. Trump manifests his destiny again to Greenland, future dukedom of his grace, Lord Ronald Lauder. 4,000 US soldiers deploy to Norway in the first scene of a great movie.  Trump keeps a half billion here and there in coffee cans on fridges throughout the Middle East. Pete Hague-seth believes a good name for a US propaganda outlet might be "Stars and Stripes". The illusion of democracy persists with a small group of Senators attempting to revive Obamacare. Felony convict Tina Peters wants out of prison. The courts second guess themselves. Governor Jared Polis publicly argues with himself, as the rest of his staff plead, STFU boss! To think that this all started when a woman dreamt that her head fell off, which inspired a groundswell of heads to fall off across the nation.

Two decisions hit Washington this week that could have massive consequences for families nationwide. On the judicial front, the Supreme Court is weighing whether states can protect women’s sports. At the same time, Congress is debating the extension of Obamacare subsidies, this time without Hyde Amendment protections for the unborn. Aaron, David, and Mike explain what’s at stake in these two major ideological battles. After the news, Dr. David Closson joins the podcast to unpack new survey data from George Barna and the Family Research Council, revealing a troubling gap inside America’s churches. While many regular churchgoers say they want clear biblical teaching on issues like abortion, sexuality, and religious freedom, foundational Christian beliefs about God, sin, and salvation are rapidly eroding. When churches go silent, culture fills the gap. Barna’s research shows that all seven “cornerstones” of a biblical worldview are in decline, even among committed believers. David explains what’s driving this collapse, why it matters for the Church’s witness, and what pastors and Christians must do to reclaim biblical clarity in an increasingly confused culture. TAKE ACTION Now is the moment to speak up using CCV.org. Through our Action Center, you can quickly contact Senators Moreno and Husted to encourage them to defend the Hyde Amendment. The process takes less than a minute! Call on Ohio's US Senator Moreno and US Senator Husted to oppose taxpayer-funded abortion in any “deal” on Obamacare subsidies. More About Dr. David Closson David Closson, Ph.D., serves as the Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at Family Research Council, where he researches, writes, and speaks about life, human sexuality, religious liberty, and related issues from a biblical worldview. He is the author of FRC's Biblical Worldview Series, which seeks to help Christians and Christian leaders apply the teachings of the Bible to difficult moral questions. Dr. Closson's work has appeared on Fox News, RealClearPolitics, National Review, The Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, Decision Magazine, WORLD Opinions, The Gospel Coalition, Townhall, and The Christian Post. He is the author of Life After Roe: Equipping Christians in the Fight for Life Today (B&H Academic, 2025), co-author of Male and Female He Created Them: A Study on Identity, Sexuality, and Marriage (Christian Focus, 2023), and co-author of the forthcoming book Worldview Basics: A Worldview Curriculum for Students (Fidelis Publishing, 2026).

He lives in the Washington, D.C. area with his wife, Abby, and their son, Daniel.

Congressman Bob Onder joined Marc to discuss President Trump's newly announced “Great Healthcare Plan,” outlining a shift toward private health spending accounts and radical price transparency. Onder criticized Obamacare's failures and insurance company profiteering while backing Trump's push to lower costs and return control to patients. The conversation expanded to Minneapolis unrest and support for invoking the Insurrection Act amid attacks on ICE, Missouri's sanctuary ban, and the Missouri Supreme Court's unanimous ruling upholding protections against child gender surgeries. Onder also previewed his federal “Chloe Cole Act” to strengthen those protections nationwide. #MarcCoxShow #BobOnder #HealthcareReform #TrumpHealthcarePlan #PriceTransparency #InsurrectionAct #SanctuaryCities #MissouriPolitics #ChloeColeAct

President Trump has unveiled his long-awaited ‘Great Healthcare Plan' to lower healthcare costs, with Republicans planning to take quick action to move the ball forward, after enhanced Obamacare subsidies expired earlier this month. His newly released plan to lower healthcare costs builds on actions his administration has already taken, like negotiations with 15 pharmaceutical manufacturers to reduce drug prices for Medicaid patients. The administration wants to send the money currently spent on subsidies directly to Americans instead of insurance companies.President Trump announced the creation of a Gaza Board of Peace, following phase two of a US-backed cease-fire between Israel and the Hamas terror group. Trump says the board will oversee Gaza's governance. Trump also met Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who presented him with her Nobel Peace Prize medal. Meanwhile, officials delivered sharp warnings to Iran at an emergency UN Security Council meeting.26 people have been indicted on federal criminal charges for an alleged game-fixing scheme in men's college basketball. Authorities say it started in 2022 with rigged games in China, before expanding to NCAA games in the U.S. The fixers allegedly paid players $10,000 to $30,000 per game to underperform, after placing millions of dollars in wagers against them.

Tonight on The Last Word: The Department of Homeland Security confirms a new non-fatal shooting by a federal agent in Minneapolis. Plus, Obamacare enrollment drops by 1.4 million as premiums rise. Also, Trump escalates his fight with the Federal Reserve. Senator Amy Klobuchar, Rep. Brendan Boyle, Jason Furman, and Lt. Gen Mark Hertling join Lawrence O'Donnell.

For five years, we’ve been following the work of Dollar For and its founder Jared Walker, watching them quickly scale up their efforts to help people crush medical debt by tapping into “charity care” — the financial assistance that hospitals are legally required to offer some patients. Their work represents what a small, scrappy, thoughtful group of people can do. Last year, their tiny staff helped wipe out more than $55 million in medical bills. As we kick off 2026, we thought it was time to check in again. After all, this will be a year when millions more people will have trouble covering their medical bills — when Dollar For’s work may become more important to more people, and when we’re hungry for more ways to help each other. As Jared tells it, 2025 proved to be a pivotal – yet rocky – period in the organization’s story. Both their successes and their challenges put into stark relief exactly what we’re all up against. So we go deep with Jared on what they achieved while they weathered the chaos, and what it might mean for their – and our collective – next moves. Here's a transcript of this episode. Check out our Starter Pack: How to wipe out your bill with charity care. And our previous coverage of Dollar For: Could billions in medical debt get zapped by the legal strategy from this 60-second video? (2021)We talked to Jared just weeks after Dollar For first went viral. The group’s early history — they’d been working locally for years — is fascinating. Badass volunteers help Jared level up, in the fight to crush medical debt (2021)Within six months, they’d recruited volunteers and built systems. The Medical Bill “Negotiation Lab” (2022)In an experiment aimed at scaling up impact, Dollar For tried a different approach in 2022. We sat in. One last tip before 2024 (2023)Why Jared thinks you should ask for “charity care” by name -- even though, let’s face it, asking for “charity” does not feel good to most of us. New lessons from the fight for charity care (2024)Dollar For spent 2024 focusing on the big picture and starting to focus on policy advocacy. Check out our history of charity care series (from 2021): A legendary lawyer sued hospitals for price-gouging their patients. And got his butt handed to him. Dickie Scruggs is the guy who beat Big Tobacco. But when he took on hospitals, he lost. The wild backstory of a tiny but crucial Obamacare provision (ft. David Axelrod)Charity care wasn’t part of federal law until the Affordable Care Act passed. A Republican senator made sure it was part of the ACA — before deciding he wouldn’t vote for the law. “We just kept right on pushing” … and laws changedIn New York, a grieving family’s story made headlines and helped advocates catch lawmakers’ attention.

Californians have until January 31 to sign up for health insurance provided by Covered California, the state's Obamacare plan.

David Waldman returns for The Final Episode of KITM… Or maybe that's tomorrow? Let's just take this one day at a time. Greg Dworkin returns from the world-leading source of AI-assisted undressing, somehow fully clothed, but with new polling on the Texas Senate primaries. Support for ICE'S collapsing, as they break laws and crack heads around Minneapolis and elsewhere. ICE'S optics are bad when they are never good... and always evil. Mayor Jacob Frey's forces are outnumbered. Tim Walz wants more witnesses. Todd Blanche wants Walz and Frey in Cecot. Ritchie Torres wants fast self-serve checkout. Gop wannabe Bruce Blakeman wants the opposite of whatever Kathy Hochul wants. All ICE wants are to be big men with big paychecks, and they will come up short on both. It would hurt more if they had to put time and effort into their jobs, which obviously they don't. ICE is leaving victims' cars on the road for people to collect, but also their own cars, and munitions. Hey! The DHS claims that Jonathan Ross is bleeding from his whatever, so there! They aren't the only dummies! The Gop House sent the wrong Obamacare bill to the Senate, because you know they have been so busy lately. And of course, homogenized ass-whole Donald K. Trump would destroy the world if only he could stay awake long enough. Pop-up nuclear reactors should get the apocalypse out of the way soon. Mini reactors are brought to you by those safety-minded folks in Russia, and Jeffrey Epstein!

Erin Lee joins me to talk about the ballot initiatives to protect kids and girls sports, the Legislature is underway, and I thought people weren't buying Obamacare.

   I get to share something today I never thought I'd be able to say out loud.  Alex Smith was my best information source about everything I ever knew about how Andy Reid coaches, hires and fires and thinks.  On Tuesday, Smith let out what I've been saying about Andy and his staff and his OC's for years.  It's good stuff and you want to hear this.  Also, we'll play a clip from Smith on exactly why he dislikes the Denver Broncos and thinks they are a terrible #1 seed.    The Royals are moving the walls in for Bobby Witt Jr and a whole bunch more homers at the K and they explain why this will lead to more wins.    KU just destroys Iowa State at Allen Field House and everyone got to see what's possible with this year's team.  We explore the big question... was this a one off or can this be repeated night in and night out?    We saw two Trumps on Tuesday, one exuberant about economic news another flipping off a heckler.  Oh my.    There was a full on ICE freak out in KC as hundreds of ICE vehicles are parked in a giant lot in the Northland reportedly belonging to Chiefs owner Clark Hunt.  Oh, and we're building a detention facility!   Yes, yes and yes.  More, more and more please.    A famous Kansas City company is livid with the restaurant owned by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce for being fraudulent and cheap.   This is a tasty story.    The far left media take terrible pot shots at Dilbert creator Scott Adams who died at age 68.    Celebs are getting arrested and our Final Final is some bad news for Obamacare.

From Trump's policies on sanctuary cities

President Trump says he's ready to defund Sanctuary Cities—but what does that actually mean?

Donald Trump is back in the headlines, promising to defund sanctuary cities

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 13, 2025. 0:30 We break down President Trump’s upcoming health care affordability plan, arguing it targets the real crisis driving America’s health care system: skyrocketing prices. From rising insurance premiums and crushing deductibles to unaffordable prescription drugs, the conversation zeroes in on why the Affordable Care Act failed to deliver affordable care for millions of Americans—especially seniors on fixed incomes. We explore Trump’s push for lower drug prices through “most favored nation” pricing, increased transparency, and free-market competition, framing it as an America First approach to health care reform that could finally rein in costs without expanding Obamacare subsidies. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Supreme Court heard arguments today about whether boys should be allowed to play in girls sports. President Trump revoked the Temporary Protected Status of Somali immigrants here in the US. Former President Bill Clinton and former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton failed to appear at a Congressional Hearing after they were subpoenaed to tesify about Jeffrey Epstein. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

We react to news that 14 Republican senators joined Democrats to approve $5.6 billion in refugee assistance funding—nearly three times the level before the Biden administration—despite ongoing fraud investigations tied to refugee programs in states like Minnesota and Ohio. And we're naming names! John Kennedy, Susan Collins, Lisa, Murkowski, Lindsey Graham among others supported the measure, and it's a betrayal of conservative principles and an abandonment of fiscal responsiblity. 16:00 We've got a question for American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — is it even worth trying to talk to people on the political left anymore? We discuss the importance of maintaining civil dialogue across political divides, even when those conversations are uncomfortable. A healthy disagreement is a sign of maturity and growth, not weakness, and real connection can still happen when humor and respect are allowed into the room. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We break down sanctuary cities and their long-running "shell game" with federal taxpayer dollars. For years these jurisdictions accepted billions in federal funding for infrastructure, health care, and law enforcement while simultaneously refusing to cooperate with ICE and shielding illegal immigrants—including criminals—from enforcement. Well that era is over. President Trump announced that the federal government will cut off all federal funding to any city or state that deliberately blocks Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 26:00 We Dig Deep into latest example of “impeachment as a political weapon,” reacting to Illinois Congresswoman Robin Kelly’s filing of articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The allegations range from obstruction of congressional oversight to abuse of office. But they are all examples of blatant retaliation for Noem’s enforcement of federal immigration laws under the Trump administration. Democrats refused to convict former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, but they are pushing to impeach Noem, who is enforcing the law. Democrats now view impeachment as a strategy—even when conviction is impossible—to undermine election results and stall governance. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

With internet access cut off and reliable information scarce, we cite estimates of thousands killed or arrested by Iran’s security forces as demonstrations against the theocratic government continue. The unrest is a pivotal moment for the Iranian people—and a serious test of U.S. foreign policy. 35:30 The Stop Insider Trader Act is a Bright Spot. It would ban members of Congress from buying and selling individual stocks while in office, while still allowing them to hold preexisting investments and invest in broad-based index funds. The proposal would also extend restrictions to spouses and dependent children, a provision that would have directly impacted high-profile cases of congressional stock trading. Lawmakers should not need a special law to remind them not to profit from nonpublic information obtained through their official duties. This bill’s upcoming House hearing and support from leadership mark a meaningful moment. Americans aren’t demanding perfection from their representatives—just honesty, fairness, and an end to profiting off privileged access. 39:30 We discuss President Trump’s visit to Dearborn, Michigan, where he toured the Ford F-150 plant and delivered remarks to the Detroit Economic Club alongside Ford executive Bill Ford Jr., highlighting American manufacturing, jobs, and the auto industry. The visit took a turn when a heckler reportedly shouts an accusation at the president on the factory floor, prompting an alleged profane response from Trump.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show,  the Iranian people desire freedom amid starvation and lack of water under a fundamentalist Islamic regime that spreads terrorism, including attempts to assassinate President Trump, and must be destroyed to prevent further threats, as either terrorists are killed or they kill others. Eliminating this regime aligns with U.S. national security interests, benefiting allies by impacting China, Russia, and Venezuela, without aiming to install democracy but occasionally aiding others when it serves mutual goals, countering the mindset of inaction. If that regime survives, it will be the greatest missed opportunity against terrorism and an avowed terror state ever.  Diplomacy and negotiations are ridiculous words in the context of what's happening in Iran and what's happening to those brave people.  Also, America is unraveling, with its founding principles under assault by groupism—all largely attributed to Democrats seeking permanent institutional control, as evidenced by attempts to imprison Trump and dominate culture, media, academia, entertainment, and science. The Democrat Party aims to undermine the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Electoral College, Supreme Court, and separation of powers while abusing the rule of law against opponents. Meanwhile, enemies within seek to replace the Republican Party with neo-fascist or Islamist variants, targeting all citizens, though they have failed so far; great republics collapse internally.  Later, Sen Elizabeth Warren advocates for Democrats to embrace economic populism to regain ground in the 2026 midterms by focusing on lowering costs for families, mirroring Trump's messaging. Warren is a Marxist and populism is a leftist concept leading to socialism and tyranny, incompatible with the Constitution.  Republicans need to counter Democrat by highlighting their failures in taxes, inflation, immigration, energy shortages, and Obamacare, while rejecting populism in favor of constitutional conservatism to win midterms and build trust.

Powell is under fire for the cost of renovating the Fed's DC headquarters. The cost ballooned from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion. RINO Senator Thom Tillis is threatening to block any future Fed nominations over the Justice Department's federal criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Source: thegatewaypundit.com FED Chairman Jerome Powell Attempts to Evade Legal Accountability by Hiding Behind His Office Regardless of how you feel about the Federal Reserve Board, I think we would all agree the construct of an autonomous central bank is outside the boundaries of our constitutional framework.  Factually, the Sea Island financial group set up the Federal Reserve as a system of control over the U.S. economy that was completely unnecessary.  . Last year facing ridiculous cost overruns, congress questioned Powell over the insane spending proposal by Powell for a new office building.  Chairman Powell characterized the construction changes that escalated the cost of the project from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion as ‘minor modifications.'  That's $2.5 billions of taxpayer money. .[Transcript] – “Good evening. On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas, threatening a criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June. That testimony concerned in part a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings. I have deep respect for the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy. No one—certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve—is above the law. But this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and ongoing pressure. This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress's oversight role; the Fed through testimony and other public disclosures made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President. This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation. I have served at the Federal Reserve under four administrations, Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case, I have carried out my duties without political fear or favor, focused solely on our mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats. I will continue to do the job the Senate confirmed me to do, with integrity and a commitment to serving the American people.

There is no place in a democracy for a secretive and all-controlling central bank. These conspirators are toast, if not now or tomorrow, then eventually. A peoples’ government needs a peoples’ money that people can own and control, and a banking system that is based on market competition, not a cartel of big shots.

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP Political/Rights  WBD is not just another studio. It is the home of HBO, DC Comics, the Harry Potter films, Game of Thrones, and one of the most important film archives in the world. Netflix itself boasts that the acquisition would combine Warner's “iconic franchises and storied libraries” with the world's largest streaming platform. If Netflix absorbs these assets, it will not just be the biggest streaming service. It will become the most dominant cultural gatekeeper the United States — and much of the world — has ever seen. Yet despite the obvious risks, WBD's leadership is pushing forward even though Paramount Skydance has launched an all-cash tender offer of $30 per share for the entire company — a bid that implies significantly higher value for shareholders than Netflix's offer.  At the same time, merging WBD's vast film and television library into Netflix would weaken competition in both streaming and content markets and concentrate cultural power in ways fundamentally at odds with the diversity of voices a free nation needs to survive. On these grounds alone, this merger should be stopped. Handing this machine control over Warner's franchises and future output would allow one company to rewrite characters, retell history, redefine social norms, and control which ideas reach audiences. Majority Of North Carolina Trucking Licenses Issued To Foreigners Are Illegal: Duffy A review of non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) granted in North Carolina found that 54 percent were issued illegally, the Department of Transportation (DOT) said in a statement on Jan. 8. The review was conducted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and is part of its ongoing nationwide audit of trucking licensing systems, the department said. DOT warned that if North Carolina does not “fix their serious failures” and revoke licenses issued illegally to foreign nationals, the department will withhold almost $50 million in federal funding. Source: zerohedge.com DOT Strips California Of $160 Million Over Foreign Truckers A showdown between the U.S. Department of Transportation and the State of California reached a breaking point on Wednesday after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will withhold approximately $160 million in safety program money from the state. The move follows California's failure to meet a January 5 deadline to cancel more than 17,000 commercial truck driver's licenses that Duffy asserts were unlawfully issued by the state to foreign truckers. The California Department of Motor Vehicles announced in late December that it would delay the cancellation until March 6, but FMCSA did not agree to the extension. The $160 million penalty marks the first year of potential sanctions. Under federal law, if California continues to defy the FMCSA's Final Determination, the amount withheld could double in the second year.

Seriously folks, you would think that after all this time the Europeans would finally understand how President Trump manipulates the media cycle and gets them to do exactly what he wants – while they and the majority of their constituents think it's exactly the opposite.  This stuff is just too funny now. According to European media outlets, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is in discussions with Germany and France to send a NATO alliance to Greenland to establish a stronger NATO military footprint. {LINK} The media present this, hilariously, as if European NATO is going to defend Greenland against President Trump and the USA military. {{INSERT SEVERAL LAUGHING EMOJIS HERE}} I mean, think about it rationally. The U.K, France and Germany are unwilling to send troops into Ukraine without the protection of the U.S. military.  But somehow, for some reason, the U.K, France and Germany are going to send troops to Greenland to defend against the U.S. military. The narrative sounds silly when put into context, right? So, President Trump starts talking about the U.S. taking aggressive unilateral action to secure Greenland as a strategic national security matter.  Suddenly, ‘Voila!' European NATO, under the auspices of defending their Denmark democracy, wakes up and says, ‘No, wait, you can't just take Greenland, that's bad.'  Then they assemble urgent talks to send EU NATO military resources to Greenland.  Exactly what President Trump has been requesting to formerly deaf ears.

He was apprehended, and Venezuela’s remaining leaders were asked to cooperate with US expectations. Greenland is likely to negotiate a compact of free association with the US and receive financial assistance, while maintaining self-governance, in exchange for military protection. Cuba is in rapid decline due to a loss of support from Venezuela (and other factors). China and Russia could offer assistance, but at considerable risk. Trump can wait and watch Cuba self-destruct, then come in and offer assistance to the Cuban people if and when they ask. Iran is in a similar situation to Cuba: a nation in rapid decline, with massive risk for Trump if he intervenes too quickly. The likely play there is to wait for the Ayatollah to flee. There would be no finger-pointing about “regime change” if the Islamic regime collapses on its own. Then, the US could offer assistance as an interim government is established.

Blame external forces, not their own policies. North Korean Hackers Using QR Codes to Steal Sensitive Information: FBI  North Korean state-sponsored cyber threat group Kimsuky is targeting American entities via a QR code scheme that can compromise sensitive information, the FBI said in a Jan. 8 alert. “As of 2025, Kimsuky actors have targeted think tanks, academic institutions, and both U.S. and foreign government entities with embedded malicious Quick Response (QR) codes in spearphishing campaigns,” the FBI stated. “This type of spearphishing attack is referred to as Quishing.” “Quishing (QR Code Phishing) is a phishing technique in which adversaries embed malicious URLs inside QR codes to force victims to pivot from their corporate endpoint to a mobile device, bypassing traditional email security controls.” In quishing campaigns, threat actors send QR images to targets as email attachments or embedded graphics, which typically evade URL inspection mechanisms. When targets scan the QR code, they are routed via redirectors to webpages that harvest their credentials. Such webpages impersonate Microsoft 365, Okta, or VPN portals. These operations typically end with hackers bypassing multifactor authentication (MFA) and hijacking cloud identities without triggering the usual “MFA failed” alerts. They can then establish persistence in the organizations' networks and use the compromised mailboxes to carry out further hacking operations, the agency warned. The FBI recommended that organizations adopt a multilayered security strategy to tackle the unique risks posed by QR hacking schemes.

Much simpler than what President Trump's advisers are selling him, much better to assuage the fears of nervous Democrats, because we had these Rules in place for six years, and ObamaCare did not crater.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there's new information that contradicts what the Democrats and their media have been saying about Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot by an ICE agent. There's been an effort to portray her as a non-activist, but she was a Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch' ‘warrior' who was trained to resist the feds before the shooting. The Democrat party and their media are responsible for this shooting with their violent rhetoric. Also, Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson are the worst type of grifters. There are enemies to people of deep Christian faith, Jews, patriotic Americans supporting President Trump, and those opposing the rise of Islamism and Marxism in the country. These grifters, motivated by millions in profits from a niche audience, have abandoned their past personas to preach anti-Semitism, bigotry, racism, Christian-bashing, and America-hating, stabbing Trump and his supporters in the back while using Saul Alinsky tactics to target, personalize, and assassinate characters, often Jews. Later, 17 Republicans joined Democrats in a 230-196 passage of a three-year extension of expired Obamacare health care tax credits. This extension, unlikely to pass the Senate unchanged, imposes tens of billions in costs on taxpayers without systemic reforms, perpetuating inefficient, second-class government-run health care akin to Bernie Sanders' proposals. Afterward, Iran enforced a nationwide internet blackout as protests demanding the removal of the Islamic government and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei escalated across cities. Protesters chanted "Death to Khamenei" and "freedom, freedom." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
