Podcasts about Orwellian

Basic freedoms are under threat in the Western world, as the EU's Digital Services Act and the UK's Online Safety Act raise concerns about Orwellian-style censorship—regulations that could extend across the Atlantic, impacting American citizens and businesses alike.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Trump and his people have used the summer months to up the despot game—sending armed troops into the streets, taking over the police in D.C., and promising to export the same tactics to even more blue cities. And the attempted deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda shows the lengths the administration will go for not submitting to its coercion. At the same time, Vance sounds downright Orwellian on the John Bolton matter, while the White House eyes other major corporations to extort. Plus, Wes Moore punches back, the injustice of the trans military ban, and the emerging signs of a broad Democratic coalition. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. show notes Kinzinger on how Trump is undermining the Second Amendment Bill's 'Bulwark on Sunday' with Col.

In Donald Trump's perverse ambition to win the Nobel Peace Prize, he is citing his supposed diplomatic victories in ending six conflicts: Armenia-Azerbaijan, Congo-Rwanda, Israel-Iran, India-Pakistan, Thailand-Cambodia and Egypt-Ethiopia. In Episode 292 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg examines each of these examples, and breaks down how claims to have won "peace" are either extremely overstated or (more often) total Orwellian jive. The implication that Russia-Ukraine will be next, as Putin escalates his aggression, puts a hideous crown on the irony.

It's Tuesday, August 19th, 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 Kevin Swanson 1,500 Christians hiding in Somalia, Africa International Christian Concern reports that there are still at least 1,500 Christian believers hiding in Somalia, Africa. This country is the second most dangerous place on earth for Christians, according to the World Watch List.  Somali Christians are often killed, on the spot, when their faith is discovered – murdered either by Islamic militants or even their own family. Somalia is also the sixth poorest nation in Africa, and the highest percentage of Muslims of any nation in the world with 99.8% of the population identifying as Muslim. The only possible exception is the population on the island of Maldives, located 470 miles off the coast of India in the Indian Ocean. Citizens there are required to nominally follow Sunni Islam. So, technically it is 100% Muslim.  However, a 2020 census revealed that 0.29% identify as Christian. Socialists lost in Bolivian election The socialists lost ground big time in Bolivia's election over the weekend.  The socialist candidate, Eduardo del Castillo, only took 3% of the vote. The more conservative candidate, Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga, took 30.4%. And the more centrist candidate, Paz Pereira, captured 30.7% of the vote, at last count. A run-off will be in the works. Psalm 75:6-7 is clear that God is sovereign over the nations. “Exaltation comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south.  But God is the Judge: He puts down one, and exalts another.” Brazilian Supreme Court put Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest The Brazilian Supreme Court has resumed its campaign to silence Jair Bolsonaro, the previous president and conservative leader of the South American country. The court ordered his house arrest, after Bolsonaro addressed a crowd by cell phone.  His alleged crime was that he said, “Good afternoon, Copacabana. Good afternoon, my Brazil, a hug to everyone. This is for our freedom.” U.S. State Department Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau lambasted Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.  Landau called the court's actions “unbridled Orwellian impulses … dragging his Court and his country into the uncharted territory of a judicial dictatorship.” Putin wants 20% of Ukrainian territory under Russian control President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy yesterday at the White House, in hopes of working a peace deal in the Russian-Ukrainian war, reports The Epoch Times. Zelenskyy was quite reverential, unlike his last visit to the White House, where he angered Vice President Vance and President Trump alike. ZELENSKYY: “Thank you very much for your efforts, personal efforts to stop killings and stop this war. Thank you.” President Trump seemed hopeful, referencing a trilateral agreement between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States. TRUMP: “If everything works out well today, we'll have a trilat. And I think there will be a reasonable chance of ending the war when we do that.” At issue is Russian President Vladimir Putin's insistence that Russia retain 20% of Ukrainian territory now under Russian dominance. Trump has signaled on Truth Social that “Ukraine must be willing to lose some territory to Russia.” Also, Trump is pressing Ukraine to abandon any commitment to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO.  Last week, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine would not be giving up land to the “occupier.”  Isaiah 2:3-4 reminds us “[The God of Jacob] will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.” Newsmax ordered to pay $67 million to Dominion voting machines The conservative news organization, Newsmax, has agreed to pay Dominion voting machines $67 million for suggesting the company had rigged the 2020 election in which President Donald Trump lost to then Democrat candidate Joe Biden. Newsmax issued a statement complaining that the Delaware judge presiding over the case had not offered a fair trial. And Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy noted that “The actions taken against Newsmax, and earlier against Fox News, represent a direct attack on free speech and a free press.” He also encouraged all businesses to leave Delaware, a liberal bastion in the U.S.   Back in 2023, Fox News was saddled with a $790 million payout in a similar lawsuit.  The almost $1 billion was quite a take for Dominion, a company earning less than $100 million a year, per an estimate from CBS News.  Stock valuation through the roof Stock valuation is way, way high on the S&P stock index.  Price-to-earnings ratios are scraping 30 at 29.88, the highest since 2020 and the 2009 recession. The price-to-earnings ratio is the ratio of a company's share or stock price to the company's earnings per share.  Price-to-earnings ratios averaged about 15 for a hundred years, prior to the stock market craziness of the 2010s and 2020s. The NASDAQ 100 price-to-earnings ratio is 42, the highest in recorded history. Another index, known as the Buffett Indicator, comparing the valuation of the 5,000 largest companies to the Gross Domestic Product is 210.11%, the highest in history. Before the 2009 recession, the Buffett Indicator  hit a high of 109%, and before the dot-com crash, the indicator hit an unprecedented 135%.  270 million babies killed by in vitro fertilization And finally, Life Site News reports that 270 million babies have been aborted by the in vitro fertilization procedure since the idea was conceived in 1978. The calculation is based on the estimation of 16 embryonic children killed for every live child born.  About 17 million children have been produced by the IVF procedure. Those 270 million IVF abortions add to about 65 million legalized abortions since 1973, and millions more by the abortifacient intrauterine device or IUD, and other abortifacients.

Today, we're looking at President Trump's comments about how the U.S. tells both Canada and Mexico 'what to do' when it comes to border security. Plus, the U.S. State Department is taking aim at Canada's Online News Act, criticizing the legislation for being an Orwellian censorship on press freedom. And finally, a new poll has found that older Canadians are hoping to see immigration levels lowered by the federal government.

When “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength” we are living in an era of alternate facts. Mary and Andrew apply this Orwellian concept to what's happening this week, after President Trump cited section 740 of the Home Rule Act to federalize the DC police force and send in the national guard to the nation's capital. They detail how the president was able to do this and why Congress will be the ultimate arbiter of this move. Then, they highlight some litigation befitting this theme, with Judge Breyer's trial starting this week on the use of the national guard in Los Angeles, and some decisions including not to unseal grand jury testimony in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, plus an Appeals court blocking contempt proceedings in JGG. Last up, Andrew and Mary take a look at Judge Henderson's opinion in the OMB case and why it deserves more attention than it's received. Further reading: Here is President Trump's letter to Congress citing section 740, courtesy of the New York Times.And some exciting news: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

Podcasts, Pedos, and Political Clowns: The Most Outlandish Libservative Episode YetBuckle up for an unfiltered episode of Libservative where Dan and Corey dive into absurdity from start to finish. Join Corey as he brags about winning the 'Drunken Olympics' while Dan snickers about beer pong strategy. The duo tackles big topics like Trump's tariffs on India and the weird political moves of Michigan's Alyssa Slotkin, all while throwing in some wild speculation about Colbert and Stern's show cancellations. The conversation takes a dark turn discussing the ethics of 'OnlyFans' and American voyeurism. Of course, they lighten the mood with the 'dildo epidemic' in the WNBA and a bizarre rant about conservative political strategies. Also, don't miss their take on 'Trump Accounts,' which might just be the most socialist thing the Don has ever done, plus the Orwellian healthcare tracking partnership with Palantir. The episode rounds out with some howling TikTok commentary and leaves you pondering our nation's love affair with authoritarianism.

In the wake of the changes to NCEA, you would have to ask whether the Knowledge Economy is the biggest political bust of recent times? Back in 2001, then Prime Minister Helen Clark launched the Knowledge Wave project. Like many ideas, it came from a good place. Helen Clark had a vision for a nation which was confident, progressive, more prosperous, tolerant and which cared for its people. She said New Zealanders would ride to the Knowledge Wave because they too sought a society capable of sustaining its first world status with well educated, innovative citizens who choose to stay in New Zealand because it's the best possible place to be. Do you remember back to those times? They were hopeful, and she was a great Prime Minister, and it sounded fantastic. Educated, prosperous, tolerant, reasonable people. It hasn't worked out so well. In a nutshell, the government believed that New Zealand's economy and its society would be driven far more by knowledge, skill, technology, and innovation. They looked across government to see how all policies could contribute to that end. Obviously, she said at the time, education was critical. She said by addressing the worst features of the student loan scheme and stabilising tertiary fees, we aim to improve access to education for all. We will have to invest more as fast as we have the capacity to do so. So, educate the people, they'll become more prosperous, they'll become more tolerant. We'll have a better place to be. We'll be living in Utopia. Twenty-four years on, how are we looking? Have we ridden that Knowledge Wave to the shores of prosperity and tolerance? Hardly. Young people were steered into degrees they weren't particularly interested in. They were saddled with student loans and some of them now feel they were sold a pup. Universities went from centres for critical thinking and academic excellence to factories that churned out degrees for people who were barely literate. And far from tolerance and critical thinking, they became bastions of intolerance and Orwellian thinkspeak. I think the Government's decision to reform NCEA is a step in the right direction. Instead of steering people into degrees they're not particularly interested in and they don't really want to do, there will be more options, more choices about what sort of future they can have. Not everybody wants to sit in a classroom, regurgitating a lecturer's opinion. Some people actually like to get out there and do stuff. The MTA, the Motor Trades Association, James McDowell, was talking to Mike Hosking this morning, and he reckons the changes to NCEA will be an overdue step towards a more relevant practical and future focused education system for young Kiwis. JM: What we would very much like to see now, and it's part of the consultation process, is saying look okay, we're going to do these big core subjects, let's say in our case, an automotive subject, and we all work with the polytechs and providers like MITO that do the on job training and start them early. MH: So I want to be an engineer in F1. Is that how it's going to work for me? I'll do my maths, I'll do my English, and I'll do something that channels me towards that? JM: Yes, it's a lot like the old days. It's a lot like the old system. Or perhaps more contemporarily, more like Cambridge at the moment, where you have your core subjects. There'll be much less choice for sure. I mean that's the problem with NCEA – there's just far too much flexibility. You've got something like over 11,000 unit standards you can choose from that make up these qualifications. That's just a complete mess. You know, you might get a few credits for learning how to put oil on a car – that does not make you an automotive engineer, unfortunately. Absolutely. Skills Group, New Zealand's largest private vocational training provider, concurs, saying the major overhaul of NCEA will hopefully create more robust and coherent vocational pathway options, ensuring that young people can pursue valued industry related learning and develop the real-world skills demanded by industry. I just wonder how many bright young things we have lost to the trades because they've been stared into doing a meaningless degree where they get a B- pass, which means absolutely nothing. There are some occupations, some professions, some vocations where you will need a degree and you will enjoy it. You'll love doing the research. You'll love doing the reading. You'll love the learning. It'll be great. But not everybody is meant for that, and I think we saw back in 2001 this utopian vision that Helen Clark had, that everybody would be able to sit around and having Socratic debates with one another and intellectual discourse about theories and ideologies, that's not for everybody. Now I think we're seeing a recognition that not every young person is cut from the same cloth. We need all sorts of minds, all sorts of abilities, all sorts of passions and all sorts of interests. And I think by giving the trades a greater focus, the idea of vocational education a greater focus, we will have a more tolerant society. I'm all for it. How many of you have degrees that you think is absolutely worth every cent you paid for it? How many of you think “if only I hadn't done that degree”? How many employers are thinking “yes, we're finally going to get the right people motivated, inspired, capable people coming into our trades and adding value”?

SEASON 4 EPISODE 1: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Jobs Report will now be handled by the same guy who keeps score when Trump plays golf. But first, the unexplained move of Ghislaine Maxwell from near Alligator Alcatraz to Club Fed was just beginning to calm down when Trump detonated on Lenard McKelvey (political commentary name Charlamagne Tha God). All Charlamagne had done was to go on Fox News and claim to Lara Trump “I think that traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back. I think there’s a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people aren’t paying attention to… we have the opportunity to have, like, a huge reset.” Trump has never known when to leave bad enough alone, but this time he just hit the side of the hornets’ nest with his tie. Called him “racist sleazebag… low IQ individual… has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth… knows nothing about me… this dope.” So now millions of people who DIDN’T know an often conservative, Trump-accepting-if-not-supporting African American was describing a Republican Palace Coup AGAINST TRUMP OVER EPSTEIN… have THAT new Trumpsteen tendril to ponder. Let’s sort this out. Somebody had to change Maxwell’s status as a registered sex offender to get her transferred to an all-women, all-white collar criminals, minimum security facility. She might no longer BE a registered sex offender; that could be a free sample offered by Trump if she’ll lie for him. The move to the cushier camp could be ANOTHER free sample. Or to make it easier for her to suffer rapid unscheduled disassembly. Also there’s a Trump cover-up OF The Epstein Files, and a Trump cover-up OF HIS OWN NAME IN the Epstein Files, and a Conservative Coup Against Trump OVER The Epsteen files, and the unexplained cushy new home for Epstein’s co-rapist. Oh and the true Orwellian shooting of the statistical messenger. But - you'd forgotten, hadn't you - he's always done this. He did this most infamously as Covid started. B-Block (30:17) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: There's little left for Andrew Cuomo. Apparently that includes flat out making up a story that mayor-to-be-Zamdani has never had a job before. Ryan "Who Put That Porn On The TV Monitor In My Office During The State Education Department Executive Meeting" Walters of Oklahoma doubles down. And the Republicans sure know how to sell American cars: with a picture of a car made in Soviet Russia in 1970 being sold by a Trump that looks like he was made in 1870. C-Block (40:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The teachers of Hackley School in Tarrytown, New York are legendary. Nineteen of them there I graduated fifty years ago were still there the day I gave the Commencement Address thirty years ago. But now we may have lost the last of the greats, at least of that era. Gerry Murphy was the math teacher with empathy. He once recognized he had hit "the math wall" - he recognized I had. If he hadn't, I'd still be there failing that class for the 51st straight year.

On this episode, Charlie, Ted, and Rony are joined by longtime tech entrepreneur Greg Shove, who shares lessons from a career spanning seven startups and multiple pivots—including a missed opportunity to buy Amazon in 1996. Now CEO of Section, Shove has repositioned the company from an online business school to an enterprise AI transformation consultancy. He discusses the shift from pandemic-era digital learning to workforce upskilling for companies deploying large language models. The conversation covers AI's “cut and create” phases, the moral imperative to retrain displaced workers, and the risk of becoming an AI “passenger” rather than a “driver.” Shove warns of cognitive offloading and the commodification of knowledge work, suggesting that skilled trades may prove more resilient in the age of automation. The hosts reflect on AI's Orwellian dynamics and the widening education gap in America. Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!

From the early life of Walt Disney to the dark psychological mechanisms that guide your every step in the park, this episode is a narrative descent into the tragedies, conspiracies, forgotten attractions, and lingering spirits that the Mouse would rather you ignore.You'll hear the gruesome details of confirmed deaths, the real ghost stories whispered by Cast Members, the attractions that were too disturbing to build, and the Orwellian surveillance infrastructure silently watching your every move. All woven together with California-native nostalgia and a cynical eye for the machinery of myth.It's not just about theme park history—it's about how we build dreams atop graves, and what happens when we try to trap magic in a place that can't stop remembering the dead.Enter the park.Exit at your own risk.Support the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43

It's been a busy six months for Donald Trump and his great big ugly surveillance state, and its Orwellian power continues to grow under the guise of "immigration and border control."

Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – Could this Orwellian system in China soon become a reality in the United States, with the advent of digital currency? The price tag attached to digital currency is costly. It opens the gate to complete surveillance and control. Every movement, every transaction, and every behavior will be noted.

Oasis is performing together again (for now), we're traveling back 1000 years (in pop culture time, that is) because the CEO cheatin' video dropped MOMENTS after they recorded last week's "Second Helpings", but boy does the video never lose it's KICK!  Everyone agrees a Katy Perry concert is the best place to steal kisses 'cause everyone's gonna be distracted by trying to not be crushed to death by the fallin' flyin' sky bug thing she rides over the crowd in, and it's a bad time for props 'cause Beyonce almost committed her own mass murder-suicide by flying over the audience in a car that started to have that Detroit lean in the sky!

“With only rare exceptions,” Norman Solomon writes, “US news media and members of Congress continue to dodge the reality of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, normalizing atrocities on a mass scale.” How did we end up in this Orwellian situation, where the reality of genocide is so thoroughly denied by pundits and politicians even as that genocide is unfolding in front of our eyes? How do we combat this level of inhumane violence and propaganda? Solomon, co-founder of Roots Action, joins The Marc Steiner Show for an urgent discussion about Israel's manufactured genocide of Palestinians and how the media manufactures consent to, at best, hide and, at worst, justify Israel's heinous actions.Guests:Norman Solomon is the cofounder of RootsAction.org, executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, and the author of numerous books, including War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death and War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of the Military Machine.Additional resources:Norman Solomon, Common Dreams, “In too much of the US, Israel's Gaza genocide has been made invisible”Norman Solomon, Common Dreams, “Who's afraid of Zohran Mamdani?

An eerie viral clip shows a delivery robot cruising past lifelike mannequins staged as human casualties on the streets of Los Angeles. Is this dystopian tech or just practical testing in a city grappling with crime and homelessness?In this video, we break down the context behind the so-called "Orwellian" footage, explore Serve Robotics' role, and ask: is this the future of urban life? Are we normalizing the unthinkable?

In this episode of Quite Frankly, Frankie Val dives headfirst into the Orwellian tactics of modern censorship and the emerging threats of AI-driven narrative control. He opens with commentary on Trump's viral “Epstein hoax” post and explores whether it's a strategic nudge to expose mainstream hypocrisy or a larger piece of psychological warfare. Frankie digs into Google's new “About This Image” tool, explaining how it fits into a broader campaign to delegitimize independent research, especially around subjects like biolabs, war crimes, and election interference. He compares these efforts to digital book burning, where tech giants erase context and reshape the past in real time. From secret Fauci emails about Wuhan labs to bombshell articles on war profiteering and suppressed medical data, the episode paints a clear picture: we're in an information war, and the battlefield is your perception. Frankie wraps with a passionate call to seek truth beyond curated headlines, reminding listeners that history is being rewritten by those who fear transparency most.

We’re in the Orwellian aftermath of what President Trump has called his 12-day war in the Middle East. It’s over, he proclaimed on Monday. “Congratulations world,” he said on his Truth Social site, “it’s time ... The post Trump at War appeared first on Open Source with Christopher Lydon.

Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidaily.usMusk's Grok 3.5 Plans to ‘Rewrite the Entire Corpus of Human Knowledge'Elon Musk just dropped the plan: Grok 3.5 (aka the next-gen “Grok 4”) will comb through all of human knowledge, rewrite the mess, purge “garbage,” and retrain itself to be smarter and (his words) less “woke.” He's inviting X users to add “divisive facts.” Critics are side-eyeing it as Orwellian data control. AI and Our Need to Believe: Why We're Falling Hard for RobotsHumans love to believe AI gets us—even when it really doesn't. When chatbots speak fluently, we lean on them, projecting empathy and intent (aka the ELIZA effect). But that fluency masks how AI lacks memory, intention, and our messy lived experience. The risk? We might outsource too much of our thinking, emotional nuance, and sense of self to machines that don't actually feel. iPhone 16's AI Moment: Hardware Flex, But Software Still LagsApple's gearing up for the next iPhone launch with slick hardware moves: possible thinner iPhone Air, A18 chips, boosted Neural Engine—and solid on-device AI firepower. But true AI smarts? Still MIA. Analysts say upgrades alone won't cut it without major AI breakthroughs or bigger acquisitions. Our Brains Do Stuff AI Can't—YetThe human brain instantly senses what we can do in a scene—like walk on a path or swim in water—while AI systems totally miss that vibe. Dutch researchers found special brain signals that predict our next move without thinking. The headline: AI still can't match our built-in “action radar.”AI's Global Divide: Computing Power Is the New FrontierNot everyone's getting AI equally—and it's mostly about compute. The U.S. and allies are locking down AI chips and model infrastructure, while less-resourced countries lag, widening global tech gaps . This isn't just about data—it's about who actually runs the AI race based on where the servers live.AI Is About to Be Your New Lawyer, Doctor, and Financial AdvisorForget generic chatbots—AI built specifically for legal, medical, and financial advice is going mainstream. Think slick, real-time interfaces that zip past old-school directories. Professionals won't disappear, but the first impression? Totally digital. Your attention's the new currency.Smell Meets AI: Digitizing the Sense of Scent for Health & SustainabilityAI is finally learning how to smell—using molecule scans and neural nets to map scents like a digital olfactory fingerprint. This “olfactory intelligence” could speed up perfume creation, detect diseases in breath, make smarter bug repellents, and even help us share scents digitally or monitor environmental hazards.

Riot season in LA? Or just another media fear campaign? In this brutally honest breakdown, we expose how the LA protests and ICE raids are being manipulated by both mainstream and alternative media to stoke fear, division, and justify an Orwellian surveillance future. From exaggerated riot footage to biometric tracking and Palantir's billion-dollar government contracts, it's clear: the surveillance state isn't coming—it's already here.

Taking a page right out of George Orwell's 1984, governments across America are building an Orwellian police state using facial recognition technology.

Chuck Todd begins with a solemn observation… that the world and country are both in a very unstable and combustible moment and needs President Donald Trump to offer stable leadership to help turn the temperature down… but is likely incapable of, or unwilling of doing so. He also reflects on Trump's role in creating an environment ripe for political violence and why he believes we're living in an Orwellian moment where it's hard to know what to believe.Then Chuck sits down with Mike Pesca, host of "The Gist," for a deep dive into media, politics, and culture. The conversation kicks off with observations about the podcast industry's shift toward video content and marketing strategies and how news has evolved from reporting to commentary, blurring the traditional lines between journalism and opinion. They explore the trend of audiences gravitating toward partisan content and echo chambers.They discuss cryptocurrency's similarities to collectibles and its role in financial privacy, to Trump's media strategy and the Democrats' failure to match his "everywhere" approach to communication. They examine specific policy proposals like DOGE's potential costs, Trump's penny elimination plan, and his willingness to negotiate with hostile nations. They conclude with an intriguing look at the potential politicization of sports media, Caitlin Clark's unexpected role as a political lightning rod and the rarity of overtly political sports coaches like Auburn's Bruce Pearl.Finally, he concludes the show by answering listeners' questions about Elon Musk's access to government data, what may have been different if Trump hadn't pulled America out of the Iran nuclear deal and his thoughts on podcasting compared to hosting Meet the Press.Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Nats swept by the Marlins01:00 The country and the world depend on Donald Trump's leadership02:30 The only person who can end the Israel/Iran war is Trump03:30 Trump has infused the Republican Party with isolationism 05:30 Israel can't end Iran's nuclear program without direct US support07:15 Trump's deportation policy is a major driver of instability08:30 Economic damage could cause Trump to back off deportations09:15 Minnesota shooter was radicalized online10:45 Most of the political violence in the country has come from the right12:15 Trump is not interested in lowering the temperature13:30 Trump won't accept that he's contributed to the tension14:30 Trump's parade fell flat, but the No King's protests were massive15:30 Chuck ended up on the hit list of a radical in 201816:50 Trump has created an environment of violence with the J6 pardons  18:45 We've entered an Orwellian moment with disinformation online 19:45 Kristi Noem's “liberate California” rhetoric was insane21:15 When people don't know what to believe, it makes democracy unstable23:00 Mike Pesca joins the Chuck ToddCast! 25:00 Is video format actually good for podcasts? 28:00 Video feels like the only good way to market a podcast 30:30 The public hasn't published the podcast industry for not being in real time 32:15 News has become more commentary than news reporting 34:00 The lines between news and opinion have been blurred 37:00 Chuck's take on having two first names 38:30 What topic doesn't make the cut for "The Gist"? 40:25 Comedians are the modern day philosophers 43:00 So many podcasts are just people agreeing with each other 44:30 Audiences gravitate towards partisan content 47:00 AI will make the media ecosystem more efficient 48:45 There's a lack of ideological diversity in the two parties 50:15 The political duopoly has been bad for voters 52:45 Crypto is not much different from baseball cards and comic books 54:00 Crypto is inefficient but it's good for hiding money 58:00 Political criticisms aren't always partisan 59:30 DOGE will cost taxpayers more money than it saves 1:00:30 Trump is great a diagnosing problems but isn't interested in solving them 1:03:30 Democrats haven't adopted Trump's "everywhere" strategy with media 1:04:30 Democrats can learn from Trump without emulating him 1:06:15 Trump's plan to eliminate the penny is a good one 1:07:15 Trump is willing to cut deals with hostile countries 1:09:15 Will sports & sports media end up becoming partisan? 1:10:20 Caitlin Clark is a political lightning rod 1:12:00 Bruce Pearl is the only college coach that's overtly political 1:14:45 What is Mike reading that would surprise people?1:19:00 Ask Chuck 1:19:20 Was Elon Musk's access to government data considered corruption?1:23:15 Where would we be now if Trump didn't withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal? 1:28:15 Long-form podcast format vs Sunday show format?

Meanwhile, Bitcoin gains more traction among MAGA, and many are asking the same question regarding the promise of exposing the “Deep State.” […]

My wife Chelsea returns to Truthspresso and our oldest son joins us to chat about Colorado's radical gender bill that has provoked national attention.HB25-1312, also known as the "Kelly Loving Act," seeks to transform society to "protect" "rights" for people who identify as a gender contrary to their birth certificate.The original version of the bill sought to bias courts to grant custody to children to whomever would "affirm" alternate gender identities and punish parents who stand for reality. It would forbid schools from enforcing gender-specific dress standards. It would punish school staff for "deadnaming" or "misgendering." Millions of public documents would need updates to allow a new "chosen name" to usurp a person's legal name.Many Coloradans have expressed deep concern and outrage at the bill's unapologetic social engineering and unconstitutional violations of First Amendment rights.Although some of the original Orwellian sections have been removed from the final version, the bill still poses serious risks to public education and society from an anti-Biblical agenda. Please pray for God's mercy and salvation for the state of Colorado.We ask you to consider contacting the office of Governor Jared Polis by calling the phone number listed and urge him respectfully not to sign HB25-1312 known as "The Kelly Loving Act" because it unconstitutionally suppresses the freedom of speech, favors treating children in a way that could harm them for the rest of their lives, and is plainly against what the Bible teaches about God's design for humanity, parenting, and education.Sources Cited:Colorado House Bill 25-1312 [Original text, Final text]House Judiciary [Apr 01, 2025 - Upon Adjournment]Colorado House 2025 Legislative Day 087Scriptures Referenced:Proverbs 1:7-8; 16:22*** Please contribute to the Hurricane relief fund for A.M.

Trump is pointing to Kilmar Abrego Garcia's tattoos to justify his indefinite detention without charge in the ultra-oppressive Salvadoran prison gulag. These notoriously include a cannabis leaf, demonstrating the continued propaganda utility of the "Reefer Madness" stigma, even as a multi-milion dollar legal industry emerges. But the White House actually added the characters "MS13" (name of the notorious Salvadoran gang) to the shot of Abrego Garcia's knuckles in a crude photoshop job—despite transparent denials from Trump. Lubricating the emerging transnational mass detention program with this Orwellian post-truth stratagem, the Trump regime meanwhile moves toward actual deportation of US citizens.

First, Ralph welcomes Washington Post tech journalist Faiz Siddiqui to discuss his new book "Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk." Then, our resident legal expert Bruce Fein stops by to explain how Elon Musk and DOGE are breaking the law. Finally, David picks up our interview with Ralph about Ralph's new book "Civic Self-Respect."Faiz Siddiqui is a technology journalist who writes for the Washington Post and has covered companies such as Tesla, Uber, and Twitter (now X) for the Business Desk. His reporting has focused on transportation, social media and government transformation, among other issues. He is the author of Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk (excerpted here).Over and over throughout this book, there's this recurring theme of victimhood, or at least Elon feeling like his back is against the wall. And why? For what? He and his fans felt they were doing the right things, and yet they were being scrutinized and punished for it.Faiz SiddiquiIn the wake of many Facebook scandals, many Uber scandals, Tesla was the company to work for. Elon was the person to work for. There was no figure as magnetic, who inspired people in the way that Elon did. So recruiting was a strong suit of that company. And the pitch was: come here and change the world.Faiz SiddiquiI think what this book brings is a healthy dose of reality and skepticism… that so far has been lacking from the overall conversation around Musk. And what I you'll find is (I hope you'll find) that you can identify with some of the folks in the book who were lured in by the promises (or just enamored by the guy and what he might be able to bring to society if his goals were ultimately realized) but then ended up feeling disappointed or feeling like—hey, this guy was not all he was cracked up to be. Even if the goals were noble, even if the ambitions were the right ones, the ends might not have justified the means. And so I want people to find, ideally, that their understanding of one of the most powerful people in society today is enriched.Faiz SiddiquiBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.[Elon Musk is] just a walking violation of the federal code.Bruce FeinThere's nowhere to go but up in terms of being a smart consumer. Unfortunately, our Elementary and high schools don't teach consumer skills (they prefer to teach computer skills) and consumer skills result in what is, in effect, a pay raise.Ralph NaderAdam Smith once said many centuries ago that the purpose of production is consumption. And if consumption is informed and feeds back, it can lead to a high-quality economy. It can lead to more integrity to your consumer dollar and to your health and safety. It can lead to less environmental damage. It could lead to stronger regulation of product defects and services that are harmful. It's sort of a bottom-up economic democracy.Ralph NaderComplexity is a tool of power. Complex tax regulations are often blamed on the federal bureaucracy. No, it's the corporate tax lawyers.Ralph NaderNews 4/25/251. On Monday, April 21st, Vatican News announced the death of Pope Francis. This came just one day after Easter Sunday, when Francis met with Vice-President JD Vance. The day prior, Francis had snubbed the VP, sending in his place Cardinal Pietro Parolintoto to “deliver a lecture on compassion,” per the Daily Beast. Pope Francis led the Catholic Church since 2013 and during his tenure sought to move the church in a vastly more progressive direction – preaching against capitalism's destruction of the environment, advocating for abolition of the death penalty and greater acceptance for LGBTQ Catholics within the church, and expanding the reach of the church into non-traditional areas such as Mongolia among many other initiatives. This won him the admiration of many around the world, but also drew the ire of the conservative clergy, particularly in the United States. Francis was the first Jesuit Pope and the first Pope to hail from the New World. Senior churchmen will now assemble to elect a new pope. This conclave is expected to be contentious, with progressives seeking to consolidate Francis' reforms, while the conservatives see an opening to take back the formal organs of the church.2. Instead of death, our next story concerns birth. Noor Abdalla – wife of Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian Columbia University student currently being held by ICE in Louisiana – gave birth to their son on Monday. According to a statement by Abdalla, reported by Arya Sundaram of WNYC, ICE denied a request for Khalil to be temporarily released to meet their son, a “purposeful decision by ICE to make [her], Mahmoud, and our son suffer.” Later in this statement, Abdalla writes, “I will continue to fight every day for Mahmoud to come home to us. I know when Mahmoud is freed, he will show our son how to be brave, thoughtful, and compassionate just like his dad.” Khalil's case continues to wind its way through the courts; the result of this case will have significant ramifications for the Trump administration's ability to remove individuals with legal status on the basis of political speech.3. In an encouraging sign, more and more congressional Democrats are getting personally involved in cases of Trump administration overreach on immigration. In addition to Senator Chris Van Hollen's highly-publicized visit to El Salvador, TruthOut reports that Senator Peter Welch met with Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia University student entrapped with a false citizenship test, in Vermont. Meanwhile Cape Cod Times reports that on April 22nd, Senator Ed Markey and Representatives Ayanna Pressley and Jim McGovern of Massachusetts – along with Democratic members of the House Troy Carter and Bennie Thompson – traveled to a Louisiana detention facility to demand the release of Rümeysa Öztürk, the Tufts University grad student who was abducted off the street last month by masked ICE agents. This delegation met with Öztürk herself, as well as Mahmoud Khalil. And CBS reports Representatives Robert Garcia, Maxwell Frost, Yassamin Ansari and Maxine Dexter traveled to El Salvador as well, keeping pressure up regarding the Kilmar Garcia case. Still, hundreds of immigrants of varying status have been deported to the ominous and shadowy CECOT prison camp in El Salvador without due process since Trump began this mass deportation campaign.4. In more troubling Congressional news, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa wrote a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel on April 16th calling for investigations into the progressive activist group CodePink as well as the New York City cultural center known as the People's Forum. This letter is almost textbook McCarthyite red-baiting, claiming CodePink and the People's Forum are nothing more than mouthpieces for the Chinese Communist Party, thereby violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Beyond the fact that these groups are engaging in nothing more than constitutionally protected political speech, it is clear from the citations within the letter that they are targeting these groups because of their pro-Palestine positions. This is just another escalation in the Orwellian suppression of free-speech critical of the Israel's illegal occupation. Unfortunately, just as with McCarthyism itself, we cannot count on congressional Democrats to go to bat for the free speech rights of the Left.5. In a win for consumers, Bloomberg reports Airbnb announced it will now display the total price of stays – including all fees – to comply with a Federal Trade Commission rule set to go into effect next month. Many worried that the FTC would rescind this rule with the changing of the administration, but for now at least, the Trump FTC seems poised to keep it. This new rule is expected to “nudge hosts to lower their cleaning fees to make rentals more affordable, as the sometimes-exorbitant fees have become a key reason why some customers preferred hotels over Airbnb.”6. Another positive move is that the Trump Department of Justice has proceeded with an anti-trust case against Google's advertising technology, or “adtech.” On April 17th, a judge found Google liable for “willfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power,” in two markets for online advertising technology, per Reuters. This follows a similar judgment against Google regarding a monopoly on search, which is only amplified by its adoption of AI. Another trial will determine the remedy for this monopoly, which could include Google being forced to sell off aspects of its business. According to this report, “Google has previously explored selling its ad exchange to appease European antitrust regulators.” Senator Amy Klobuchar, former chair of the antitrust subcommittee, called the ruling “a big win for consumers, small businesses, and content creators that will open digital markets to more innovation and lower prices.”7. On the other hand, Public Citizen's Rick Claypool reports, “58 corporations facing federal investigations & enforcement lawsuits collectively gave $50 million to Trump's inaugural fund. Cases against 11 of these corporations have already been dismissed or withdrawn, and 6 have been halted.” More granular information about each of these enforcement actions is available through Public Citizen's Corporate Enforcement Tracker database, but the big picture is clear: If a corporation wants the government off its back, all they have to do is make a handsome contribution. The Trump administration is pay-to-play and open for business.8. In another instance of the administration tying the hands of key federal regulators, the Food and Drug Administration will “End its Routine Food Safety Inspections,” according to the National Public Health Information Coalition. The FDA plans to “shift most…food safety inspections to state and local agencies.” While some food inspections are conducted at the state and local level, public health advocates are raising concerns about “oversight and consistency.” According to CBS, these plans have not been finalized.9. Turning to the very worst part of this administration, NOTUS reports “The DOGE website, the only public accounting of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's attempts to reduce federal government spending…[has posted]…revisions that suggest DOGE was previously overstating its savings by hundreds of millions of dollars.” These stunning, if not altogether surprising, overestimations are staggering in scale. “On Tuesday [April 15th] alone, DOGE removed around $962 million in previously claimed cuts and altered hundreds of others to boost individual items' purported ‘savings' values.” The incompetence of DOGE has led Musk to reduce the target goal of spending cuts, down from $1 trillion to just $150 billion – a drop in the bucket when it comes to federal spending and certainly not worth the evisceration of Social Security and other programs these cuts have entailed.10. Finally, in more bad news for Elon Musk, Reuters reports the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is tightening electric vehicle battery safety standards, specifically to “ensure…batteries won't catch fire or explode.” This is quite a humble regulatory goal. However, this new regulation could spell disaster for Tesla. According to Tesla-fire.com, there have been 232 confirmed cases of Tesla fires and “83 Fatalities Involving a Tesla Car Fire.” If I were a Chinese EV regulator, I would be wary of allowing Tesla vehicles on the roads. But that's just me.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

SEASON 3 EPISODE 120: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: We’ve all known it would come to this; we’ve all WARNED it would come to this; we’ve all PREDICTED they’d try to ease the knife in slowly, they’d take the boiling frog route, and here it comes. It’s in every piece of political science fiction from "1984" to "Brazil" to "V For Vendetta." And it is now real: if everything Trump does deserves criticism and gets criticism there is only one thing for Trump and his gang to do: prosecute criticism of Trump and claim those WHO criticize him are aiding and abetting terrorists. The ultimate Thought Crime was given voice by no less a figure than Trump's Counterterrorism Director, who, since Trump found the worst possible person to do each job (and bin Laden is dead) is Sebastian Gorka. The threat is connected to the push to send not just immigrants to rot in a For-Profit El Salvador Rendition Center, but American citizens too, especially those who standup to Trump's attempt to purge Hispanics from this country. Axios reports that one of the other potential new Orwellian crimes would be advising detainees of their rights. If that's not directed at AOC I don't know what could be. B-Block (25:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Derrick Van Orden attacks Wisconsin's governor because Van Orden thinks Milwaukee kids are stupid - and he misspells the word "how" in his post. Brian Kilmeade's Hegseth spoiler alert: he calls him "former secretary." And we are all very proud here that one of 'our own' has reduced Bill Maher to graffiti. Further details on "My Dinner With Adolf." C-Block (37:45) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I had literally forgotten - until I literally worked through the neighborhood - that I made my Broadway singing and dancing debut seven years ago. I mean literally, on stage, during an actual Broadway show. If it made that much of an impression on me, imagine how bored the audience was! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This eye-opening segment exposes a classified domestic terrorism plan from the Biden administration, recently declassified by Tulsi Gabbard. The discussion reveals how political and religious views—symbolized by hashtags like “2A”—were allegedly used to target Americans for censorship and debanking. With billionaires like Marc Andreessen sounding the alarm and parallels drawn to Europe's Digital Services Act, the hosts argue this is a creeping Orwellian crackdown on dissent, free speech, and financial independence in America.

Try Ground News for 30% off: https://ground.news/Andrew Andrew Gold tears into Keir Starmer's cowardice, hypocrisy, and years of evasiveness on the question, “What is a woman?” From refusing to say whether women can have penises, to blindly parroting “trans women are women,” Starmer has consistently dodged reality—until now, when political pressure finally forced him into a weak admission that “a woman is an adult female.” This video breaks down how the Labour leader enabled the gender ideology madness for years, stayed silent while women were threatened and cancelled, and now wants to pretend it's all behind us. We're not letting him get away with it. This is a fiery, unapologetic takedown of the lies, the flip-flopping, and the Orwellian gaslighting that defined Britain's trans debate.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, China has increased its crackdown on Christians in the country. But it's not just communist China that has made Christianity illegal. The same thing is happening in Western democracies across the globe. One of those democracies has just passed a law effectively making Christian prayer illegal. Also, the stock market bounces back as Trump pauses most of the tariffs. Chris Matthews returns to MSNBC and makes one of the dumbest comments in the history of cable news—which is saying something.
