Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down Donald Trump's highly publicized 80th birthday peace plan, which is actually just an extension of the ceasefire with Iran. Jared details the staggering public and private costs, including $24 billion in unfrozen assets and a minimum of $300 billion in American-funded war reparations to a nation whose entire GDP matches that amount. While JD Vance takes to the airwaves to compare the deal to the unconditional surrenders of World War II, Nick and Jared expose the framework as a massive vehicle for market manipulation designed to kick economic and energy consequences down the road while bypassing crucial nuclear considerations. The corporate circus continues on the front lawn of the White House, which Trump transformed into an octagon for UFC 250. The duo reacts to the garish spectacle, which included fighter entrances from the Oval Office, flyovers, and fighter Josh Hoke's bizarre post-fight interview antics. They also dig into the deleted tweet controversy involving Eric Trump allegedly hunting for insider fighter data to place bets via direct message. Finally, they confront the reality of unchecked tech capitalism as Elon Musk officially becomes the world's first trillionaire, propped up by billions in government subsidies to form a new tech-military-industrial complex. The hosts close with a look at the quiet, bipartisan surrender to artificial intelligence as the Trump administration readies to buy shares in OpenAI while competitors like Anthropic warn of autonomous self-replication.

GART is less than two weeks out and Ashe has a dedicated laundry basket for Deadwood outfits because Brian wants her to think about the weight of her suitcase. The ladies kick things off recapping UFC at the White House, the dripping with corporate sponsorships narrative swap the left tried after the taxpayer dollars argument fell apart, fighters walking out of the Oval Office down the Hall Of Presidents and giving glory to God, and Ashe's bicentennial memories of 1976 making the case that this is what the run up to 250 should feel like. Adriana takes the floor for a forty minute college lecture on the Salem witch trials, including the wildly underappreciated detail that it started with an illness, the catch 22 of confess and walk or deny and hang, ergot fungus on rye as a likely LSD precursor poisoning, and how the whole thing reads exactly like a 1692 mass formation psychosis. Christy closes out with saved by the bell, which has both a fun safety coffin origin (Victorian anxiety did not believe in doing anything halfway) and a boring boxing origin, plus the small detail that no safety coffin ever saved anyone. Photo challenge submissions, GART golf cart plans, and a battle of the sexes event teaser for next week.

   It was the most epic Red, White and Blue weekend I can ever remember and it was topped off with a spectacular scene in DC for UFC Freedom 250 and a deal made with Iran.  Pinch me, if you will, because this just all seems too good to be true.  We are SO back and we are flaunting it everywhere from the soccer pitch to the Strait of Hormuz to the Octagon of Doom outside the Oval Office.  I voted for ALL of this.    Jackson County charges two men for allegedly stealing England's soccer shoes and after hearing their names, I only have one question I need answered.    The Royals may have found a new ace after a brilliant performance Sunday.  The San Francisco Giants have several players that weren't having it on Pride Night, the Carolina Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup and a whole bunch of Rod Stewart fans are not happy with something he did this weekend.

Chairman Jason Smith of the House Ways and Means Committee joins the Try That In A Small Town podcast from CMA Fest in Nashville. He breaks down what the powerful Ways and Means Committee actually does and how it touches every American's life through taxes, trade, Social Security, Medicare, and more. Jason opens up about his small-town Missouri roots, being a fourth-generation farmer, raising white buffalo, and why he still lives in the same rural community he represents. He explains how he took the Ways and Means Committee on the road to 32 states to listen to working families, small businesses, and farmers before writing what he calls the “Big Beautiful Bill” – the largest tax cut in U.S. history, including no tax on tips and overtime. The conversation gets candid on Social Security's future, election integrity and slow vote counts in places like California, and what happens when people lose trust in the system. Jason also shares behind-the-scenes stories of working closely with President Trump – from grilling him for three hours on every line of a 103-title tax bill in the Oval Office to the now-famous “red button” that just orders Diet Coke. Along the way, they talk CMA Fest, Jason's obsession with Reba, the Chiefs, Mahomes vs. Brady, cleaning up Washington, D.C., and why he believes the founding fathers' values are really small-town values. Jason closes with a powerful story of a single mom whose $10,000 tax refund changed her life – and why that's why he still fights for small towns and working families.

It's Friday, June 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Hundreds of Nigerians freed from Boko Haram captivity after months Ready for some good news? Hundreds of Nigerians, who had been abducted by Boko Haram Muslim militants during a devastating March attack, have just been freed after months in captivity, reports International Christian Concern. It's one of the largest releases of hostages in the region in recent years.  Officials claim that the Nigerian army rescued 360 captives from a remote hideout in the Mandara Mountains of Borno State near the border with the country of Cameroon. However, local community leaders insist that local negotiations, rather than military action, secured their freedom. Pentagon on lock down over “air quality issue” On June 11th, the Pentagon was placed on lockdown after officials detected an “air quality issue” inside the building, reports NewsNation.com. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the War Department activated standard safety procedures, including a “shelter-in-place order for affected areas. The Pentagon has sophisticated systems to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants. Those systems have detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures until we determine its significance.” Trump adds SAVE Act to Pentagon reconciliation bill Despite the fact that the U.S. Senate has failed to make progress towards passing the much-needed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or SAVE America Act, which would secure our nation's elections, President Donald Trump is not throwing in the towel. In a post on Truth Social, he just announced a huge move to get the act passed by adding it directly to the upcoming $350 billion Pentagon reconciliation bill. This way, the legislation can clear the Senate with a simple majority, rather than the 60 votes needed under current rules. Referencing the SAVE Act, he wrote, “THE SAVE AMERICA ACT … will protect our Elections for Generations to come.  Our Warriors protect our most Sacred Rights, and Voting is at the top. Time to defend that Right for every American!” Yesterday, President Trump made these comments from the Oval Office. TRUMP: “All voters must show photo I.D.  So, you go to vote and show photo ID. Not complicated. But who could oppose it? … “All voters must show a little thing called proof of citizenship. No mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel. So, we're being very progressive. We just don't want cheating. You see what's happening in California. They're rigging the election.” Urge your two U.S. Senator to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or SAVE Act by calling 202-224-3121. That's 202-224-3121. Suspicious newly registered homeless votes in LA Mayoral race In a suspicious turn of events to block Spencer Pratt's candidacy for Los Angeles mayor, thousands of homeless voters were registered to vote at Los Angeles  shelters — despite many not living there or the facilities not having any beds at all, reports the New York Post. As Spencer Pratt was eliminated by Nithya Raman in the mayor's race during additional counting of votes on June 8th, one drop-in center, St. Joseph Center in Venice, which had received $600,000 from Nithya Raman, had 185 registered voters at the address but offers absolutely no accommodations.  After the New York Post inquired about this suspicious activity, the photograph of Raman presenting a check to St. Joseph's was taken down from its website. The revelations have prompted U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli to say he will investigate the concerns uncovered by The New York Post and “follow the evidence” to see if the law has been broken.  A review of records shows 7,600 voters tied to homeless shelters and service providers. The largest concentration of homeless voters was at the Midnight Mission in Skid Row, where voting records show 1,160 registrations — but its website shows it only has beds for 9% of that number -- 84 men and 36 women. Something stinks in Denmark! Proverbs 17:23 says, "A wicked man takes a covert bribe from his bosom to pervert the ways of justice." ACLU asserts a “religious right” to abortion in Indiana The Thomas More Society is weighing in on a pending ACLU-inspired abortion case before the Indiana Supreme Court, urging the state's highest jurists not to recognize a so-called “right” to abortion under the guise of religious freedom, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Indiana law bans most surgical abortions. Sadly, chemical abortions persist due to mail-order Abortion Kill Pills, which the state legislature has so far been unable to quash. The ACLU suit claims that denying Indiana mothers abortions would violate Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a 2015 law that says that government may not “substantially burden a person's exercise of religion.” Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita has appealed, and the Indiana Supreme Court agreed in April to take the case. Oral arguments are set to begin in September. Thomas Olp with the Thomas Moore Society, said, “This case is a Trojan Horse. The ACLU and its clients want to call this religious liberty, but it isn't—not under any historically honest understanding of the term. From Cicero to John Locke to the framers of Indiana's Constitution, the natural law tradition that gave us religious freedom has never treated the taking of innocent life as an exercise of religion.” Missionary David Brainerd had a heart to see Indians saved And finally, on June 12, 1744, David Brainerd was ordained by the Presbyterian Church to be a missionary to the New England Indians. He first went to an Indian village on the Housatonic River in Connecticut. Then, he studied the Algonquin languages in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. According to the Generations-published Taking the Americas for Jesus, Brainerd loved the Indians which is why he wanted them to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. He said, “I taught that men are sinners. All sinners will be judged by God. Then, I told them that Christ could save them. Christ was a great Savior.  All who believe in Jesus will be saved.” Even living in a wigwam and missing many meals, Brainerd was undeterred.  Indian witch doctors tried to poison him. He asked, “Why can't your magic harm me?” Sometimes Indians trusted in Christ. But many did not want to leave their idols. In 1745, Brainerd went to an Indian tribe in New Jersey where 100 Indians converted to Christianity. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!” He died from tuberculosis on October 9, 1747, at the young age of 29.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, June 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on June 11 that a U.S.–Iran deal is close and will be signed in the coming days. “We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran,” Trump said at the beginning of an Oval Office event. “And we're going to be, subject to finalization of documents, which should get done over the next few days, probably have a signing, maybe in Europe.”Elon Musk's SpaceX is is set for its IPO on June 12 making history as the largest initial public offering on record with a value of US$1.77 trillion, According to SEC filings, SpaceX plans to sell 555.6 million shares at an initial $135 a share.

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he called off planned evening strikes against Iran, saying a deal with Iran will soon be reached soon, with the "time and place of the signing to be announced shortly."Trump spoke to reporters in the Oval Office following the signing of the executive order to restore America's seafood competitiveness, stressing the need to pass the Save America Act."We need to have voter identification, which we don't have right now on a national basis," Trump told NTD. Trump said Democrats are opposing the bill and do not want people to provide "citizenship when you vote."Homeless residents in Los Angeles' Skid Row are claiming they were paid between $2 to $5 to vote for Mayor Karen Bass during the recent Los Angeles mayoral race. The videos went viral on social media and were first published Tuesday by TikTok account LANeedsSpencerPratt. NTD went to downtown L.A. to interview residents about their experiences.

Episode 113 opens with Ghost's "cyclone" theory in full motion: Trump occupies both sides of the Iran narrative at once, threatening to bomb Tehran while announcing a deal is two or three days away. Ghost breaks down the Apache helicopter incident, Trump telling the Wall Street Journal it "wasn't a big deal," and the Oval Office gaggle where Trump casually reveals he has been working directly with Iran for months. Trump questions whether Netanyahu should even run for reelection while Netanyahu's own cabinet discusses fighting Iran alone in total isolation. The Strait of Hormuz bombshell follows: Trump claims the US secretly moved oil through it for months without Iran knowing, and a congressional hearing exposes the contradictions. Then comes the deal itself: 49 Tomahawks, a leaked 14-point memorandum, and Trump's furious denial of the leaked terms. Mark Levin spirals from celebrating bombing to demanding the text of the deal, while Israel confirms it is not party to the agreement. Erdogan and Netanyahu trade threats, and Ghost maps a possible Greece-Israel-Ukraine alliance against Turkey. The episode closes with Tulsi Gabbard's declassification of 120 US-funded bio labs across 30 countries.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a show that whiplashes in real time right alongside the news itself. Trump tells Fox News in the morning that bombing Iran will continue and be bigger than ever, then hours later announces on Truth Social that strikes are canceled and a memorandum of understanding has been signed with eleven countries including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. In the Oval Office, Trump reveals the Strait of Hormuz has secretly been open the entire time, with hundreds of millions of barrels of oil quietly moved out at night while radar was jammed, directly undercutting the media narrative that blamed gas prices on a closed strait. Within the hour, Trump posts again accusing Iran of lying about the deal terms and says the war may be back on. Chris Paul makes the case that the discombobulation itself may be the point, an invitation to step back and simply observe rather than form beliefs from contradictory information. CannCon and Chris also dig into the Hill's reporting on a growing GOP civil war, with Massey, MTG, and Ro Khanna appearing together in ways that suggest either organic coalition building or a scripted third party operation. JD Vance heads to Europe to finalize the deal before a View appearance back home.

Ilhan Omar told a reporter that Palestinians are "ethnic to the land in which they belong" — and Larry O'Connor flips her own logic right back to explain exactly why Donald Trump says she belongs in Somalia. It comes the same day Trump unloaded on Omar from the Oval Office and torched Jamie Raskin as "a loser in life" over impeachment. Plus Jerry Seinfeld's now-viral "show it to me on a map" takedown of a free-Palestine heckler.

Today on America in the MorningTrump Signals Agreement With Iran President Trump on Thursday withdrew threats to take Iran's most critical oil terminal and also put a stop to his previously scheduled attacks on Iran, saying in the Oval Office that an agreement to end hostilities with Iran may happen as soon as this weekend.  Politico is reporting that this was put into motion after several Gulf and South Asian nations called the president to change his mind.  Ed Donahue reports that if an agreement is signed, it will include Iranian guarantees that it will not pursue any nuclear weapons and also reopen the Strait of Hormuz.   Trump Names New DNI Nominee With Democrats and some prominent Republicans revolting over President Trump's pick to serve as interim Director of National Intelligence after the resignation of Tulsi Gabbard, the President has named someone else as a permanent replacement.  John Stolnis has the latest from Washington.   FISA Expiring A key surveillance tool that lets the U.S. collect intelligence abroad now seems nearly certain to expire at midnight, after 20 Republicans broke ranks with the GOP and joined House Democrats to vote it down.  Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports.   86-47 Etched Near White House Large numbers “86-47,” a phrase generally used to signal opposition to President Donald Trump appeared etched into the grass on the National Mall on Thursday in an area just a short walk from the White House and where a UFC fight will be held on the South Lawn of the presidential residence.   Pentagon Incident There was concern at the Pentagon on Thursday after the home of the Department of War went into lockdown after its internal systems detected a dangerous air quality issue.  Correspondent Clayton Neville reports about 25-thousand people who work inside the building were impacted.   SCOTUS Says No To Execution The US Supreme Court in a ruling on Thursday night said the state of Alabama cannot execute a death row inmate by a method using nitrogen gas.  The high court's ruling upheld two lower courts that said using that type of method of execution violates the ban on cruel and unusual punishment, sending Jeffrey Lee back to death row.  Mike Hempen reports.   Debating The Anthony Case America is still reacting to the murder conviction of a black teenager in Texas who stabbed another teenager at a high school track meet.  Correspondent Clayton Neville has the latest from Dallas.   Minnesota Shooter Takes A Plea Deal The man charged in the political assassinations of the top Democrat in the Minnesota House and her husband...and the injuring of a state senator and his wife, has taken a plea deal that spares him the death penalty.  Correspondent Joan Jones has details on the case that shocked the nation nearly one year ago.   SpaceX IPO Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX makes its debut on Wall Street today, with an initial public offering that is expected to shatter records.   Correspondent Damian Troise explains.

President Trump said he called off a third night of airstrikes on Iranian targets. In the Oval Office, he again said that a deal was close between the U.S. and Iran, and that it might be signed this weekend. Iran denied any movement toward a longer-term agreement. William Brangham reports. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 10, 2026. We open with a deep dive into the Iran negotiations — and the fundamental question that no amount of dealmaking experience can easily solve. President Trump is the greatest negotiator of his generation, but every negotiation assumes both parties want a mutually beneficial outcome. The Iranian regime wakes up every morning chanting death to America and death to Israel. Where is the common ground with people who want you dead? We trace the Iranian Revolution back to its founding act — not signing a constitution, not declaring independence, but taking Americans hostage — and explain why a regime defined by its opposition to America may never be capable of the kind of deal Trump has made in every other negotiation of his life. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire again this week following Iran's shooting down of an American Apache helicopter — the U.S. launched fighter jet strikes on Iranian air defenses, Iran fired missiles at U.S. bases in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait, and the U.S. launched a second wave of strikes Wednesday evening. President Trump said Iran was taking too long and would now have to pay the price. Then Democrats in Maine voted overwhelmingly to nominate Graham Plattner — the man with the SS tattoo, the predator website, and the endorsements of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren — as their Senate candidate against Susan Collins. And Carmelo Anthony was convicted of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years in prison — a jury that took just three hours to convict and another three hours to sentence, while protesters outside claimed the verdict was racist despite multiple Black teammates of Metcalf testifying that Anthony committed the crime. We dig into the aftermath of the Anthony verdict — specifically a petition circulating on Change.org calling for the arrest of Austin Metcalf's surviving twin brother Hunter, claiming his alleged behavior contributed to the murder. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to the mother outside the courthouse who asked what she should tell her five sons after the verdict. The answer, says Teri, is simple — don't stab people. We also discuss the race-baiting that surrounded the trial from the beginning, the GoFundMe that raised millions for Anthony's defense, the impact statements from the Metcalf family in the courtroom, and why Carmelo Anthony's parents walked out rather than listen to Austin Metcalf's father speak. We also cover President Trump bringing the workers who restored the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool into the Oval Office — giving them presidential challenge coins and publicly honoring the people who actually did the work rather than the politicians who show up for the gold-plated shovel photo op. We call it exactly what it is — a reminder that America was built by people in tool belts, not people at podiums. In our Digging Deep segment, a new Signal poll heading into the midterms shows that swing voters — the ones who actually decide elections — believe Democrats are more focused on hating Donald Trump than solving problems by a margin of 23 points. We also note that only 58% of Americans say they are extremely or very proud to be American, including only 28% of voters under 30, and that 30% of Democrats say they are not at all proud of their country. We make the case that if you can't tell the American people what you love about this country or offer them solutions that have actually worked somewhere on earth, running on hatred of one man is not a winning message. We also weigh in on Graham Plattner's victory speech — in which he said it was his job to earn the trust of disappointed voters. We point out that trust is not the starting point. Vision is. And we ask the question JFK would have asked — what can you do for your country — and wonder how well his 1961 inaugural address would play at a 2026 Democrat rally. For our Bright Spot, the World Cup kicks off Thursday in the United States, Canada, and Mexico — and European fans traveling across America to follow their teams are going viral for the most American reasons imaginable. A German man driving from Georgia through Mississippi to Texas ate Waffle House at 1 a.m., stopped at Buc-ee's, and attended a practice match at Auburn Stadium where he posted that his European mind could not comprehend what he was seeing. A Swedish woman who flew into Indianapolis posted from a flight over Colorado that she had faster Wi-Fi than at home and that the United States had completely radicalized her within 48 hours. We call it what it is — the American dream, visible to everyone who arrives here with open eyes. And we close with the Chicago Bears officially heading to Hammond, Indiana — after Governor Pritzker couldn't offer them what they needed. They weren't asking for a bailout. They were willing to invest $2 billion of their own money. All they wanted was tax stability. A government that has no stability itself cannot give stability to anyone else.

Amerikaanse president Donald Trump sê hy is mal oor die hoë inflasie in die VSA, terwyl pryse in Mei teen die vinnigste tempo in drie jaar gestyg het. Hy het tydens 'n perskonferensie in die Oval Office gesê die "syfers is puik" toe hy gevra is oor die Buro vir Arbeidstatistiek se syfers wat toon dat inflasie in Mei met 4,2 persent gestyg het van 'n jaar tevore. In Maart was die inflasiesyfer 3,8 persent. Hy het ook beweer dat Amerikaanse magte nagtelike operasies uitgevoer het waarin miljoene vate olie uit Iran verwyder is, wat bygedra het tot 'n effense daling in oliepryse. Brent-ruolie verhandel egter steeds aansienlik hoër as vooroorlogse vlakke. Luister self.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as California continues to tally election results, state leaders are urging patience as President Trump again complains about the use of mail-in ballots and delays in the results. In the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump accused Democrats of trying to "steal" the California gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral primaries without any evidence to support his claim. With many races still undecided, outcomes could take days or even weeks as ballots are counted, including in the governor's race. Also President Trump storms off 'Meet the Press' interview, rips Kristen Welker, ABC, CBS, and CNN as 'crooked' / A look at May's jobs numbers / Gearing up for the World Cup / Audio from Scott Pelley on CBS' bias.

I want you to imagine you are sitting on a hard wooden bench in a packed federal courtroom, because that is exactly where the story of Donald Trump's court battles has been unfolding over the past few days. We start in New York, where the hush‑money case that once made Donald Trump the first former president ever convicted of a crime is now in a tense holding pattern. After a Manhattan jury previously found him guilty on dozens of counts related to falsifying business records to conceal payments to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign, Trump's legal team has spent the past several days pressing appellate courts to step in, arguing that his actions were political, not criminal, and that key testimony should never have been admitted. According to detailed reporting from the New York Times and CNN, lawyers have been trading briefs and appearing in hearings focused on whether the conviction should stand and what it means for a presidential candidate facing sentencing while also running for the White House again. Judges have been openly wrestling with the unprecedented mix of election politics and criminal procedure. Down in Florida, the classified documents case out of the Southern District has lurched forward in fits and starts. Over the past few days, as described by outlets like the Washington Post and Politico, special counsel Jack Smith's team has been arguing over what evidence can be shown to a jury and how to handle the mountain of secret material recovered from Mar‑a‑Lago. They have been pushing Judge Aileen Cannon to keep the trial on track, while Trump's lawyers have leaned hard on claims of presidential authority and selective prosecution, filing fresh motions to dismiss and asking for more delays. Court hearings have featured long arguments over the Presidential Records Act and how far executive power really reaches once a president leaves office. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., the federal election interference case connected to January 6 has remained entangled with questions of presidential immunity. Over the last several days, commentators from NBC News to the Associated Press have been tracking new filings where Trump's attorneys insist that almost everything he did around the 2020 election was an official act and therefore shielded from prosecution. Prosecutors have fired back, telling the judge that no president can use the Oval Office as a license to overturn an election. The Supreme Court's earlier rulings on executive power hover over every argument, and the precise wording of those opinions has been quoted and dissected in court day after day. In Georgia, the Fulton County racketeering case alleging a multi‑state conspiracy to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 win continues to simmer. According to coverage by the Atlanta Journal‑Constitution, the past few days have seen more behind‑the‑scenes maneuvering than dramatic courtroom fireworks. Trump's lawyers are still pushing to sever his trial from co‑defendants, to move the case out of Fulton County, and to knock out the sweeping racketeering charge that ties the plot together. The judge has been working through a crowded motions calendar, and every decision there could change the timeline of when Trump might actually face a Georgia jury. Taken together, the last few days have not produced a single, explosive moment, but instead a drumbeat of hearings, orders, and filings in four different jurisdictions, all aimed at answering one enormous question: how do American courts hold a former president accountable while he is actively seeking to become president again? Every ruling in New York, Florida, Washington, and Georgia nudges that answer in one direction or another. Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, Haley is back to join Chad and Mary Lou in the 15th week of Trump's illegal war with Iran. We discuss:

Don't miss this critical breakdown — Candace Owens is in Russia speaking at Putin's economic forum, and many are calling her a "useful idiot" for Kremlin propaganda. Is this a principled stand or something far more dangerous for conservative values? Watch until the end for the full picture. In this video, we dive deep into Candace Owens' controversial trip to Russia. While she's praising Moscow's "clean, beautiful, and family-friendly" streets and Christian heritage on X, experts warn that Vladimir Putin is expertly manipulating high-profile conservative voices like hers to sow division in America. From panels alongside sanctioned Russian officials to rubbing shoulders with figures like Aleksandr Dugin, this raises serious red flags for patriots who value truth over foreign influence. We also cover: Trump on nuclear dust in Iran. American coal is coming back? Tucker Carlson for president? Scott Bessent vs. the world. A.J. Dybantsa corrects Gilbert Arenas on Utah. What do YOU think? Is Candace Owens standing for truth or playing right into Putin's hands? Drop your thoughts in the comments — especially if you're a conservative concerned about foreign meddling, America First priorities, or manipulation from ANY side. Should conservatives be engaging with Russia like this, or is it time to draw a harder line?

President Trump Makes an Announcement on Beautiful, Clean Coal. President Trump just sounded the alarm from the Oval Office over what he says are serious election problems in California.Trump says he is “closely watching” the vote counting, claiming the numbers in key California races are suddenly shifting in ways he finds suspicious. He pointed directly to mail-in ballots, delayed counting, and the long timeline California officials say may be needed before final results are known.In Trump's words, the numbers are looking “strange,” and he says he does not want cheating in American elections.California's vote-counting process is once again under national scrutiny, with Trump blasting the idea that it could take seven or eight days to determine winners in major races. Supporters say this is exactly why election integrity must be front and center. Critics argue California's slow process is tied to mail-ballot verification and state counting rules.So what is really happening in California? Why are votes still being counted? Why are the numbers shifting? And is Trump right to be watching this so closely?In this episode, Professor Nez breaks down Trump's explosive Oval Office comments, the California mail-in ballot controversy, the races under scrutiny, and why this could become one of the biggest election integrity fights in the country.For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez▶Sign up to our Free Newsletter, so you never miss out: https://bio.site/professornez▶ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/

The pardon power that the President has is, as Constitutional prerogatives go, about as absolute as it can be.  Coupled with the friendly majority Donald Trump has on the United States Supreme Court, which gave him immunity from prosecution for many crimes charged in connection with his pardons, and you have what some call a pardon-palooza going on in his second term.  Most egregious to some, like this observer, was the blanket pardon of all those involved in the January 6, 2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol (not to mention the ‘stupid on stilts’ weaponization fund.) Remember when his former Attorney General, Pam Bondi, in her confirmation hearing, said that such pardons would be handled on a case -by- case basis.  President Trump has been doling out pardons for political loyalty, pay-to-play corruption, and even state prosecutions, over which he has no say.  It boggles the mind how far we’ve come from the framers’ intent which was to give the President the ability to show mercy and heal national wounds.  This President isn’t the first to expand its use to miscreants, but as tens of thousands of requests for clemency go unanswered the friends and family plan grows and metastasizes.  Now he’s telling staff not to worry about whatever questionable actions he requests because they will be pardoned on his way out of the Oval Office.  To discuss this trend is Professor Mark Osler of the University of St. Thomas, in Minnesota, an expert on the topic.

David Rothkopf and Joanna Coles dive into a week of chaos surrounding Donald Trump, from a weekend barrage of Truth Social posts and increasingly bizarre self-mythologizing to mounting questions about his health, judgment, and grip on reality. Rothkopf argues that Trump's latest behavior reveals a president trapped by crises of his own making—from Iran and a crumbling political coalition to what he describes as a dangerous fantasy world where everyone else plays the victim. The pair also unpack the growing signs of Republican unease, the political fallout heading into the midterms, and why a larger generational reckoning may be reshaping global leadership. As the conversation builds toward a chilling conclusion about power, aging, and the risks of desperation, Rothkopf delivers one of his starkest assessments yet of the man occupying the Oval Office.

Don sits down once again with the hilarious Jennifer Welch, co-host of I've Had It, for a conversation on the endlessly tacky decor that Donald Trump has forced this country to endure. A UFC arena on the White House lawn, a golden Oval Office, the destruction of the East Wing to build an absurdly large ballroom, a Trump Arch!? Why does everything this man touch turn to gold and then die? How much more of this country's legacy is left to ruin? And how quickly will the next Democrats in power tear it all down? Fingers crossed, Lemonheads.

A bruising, record-setting Republican Senate runoff in Texas comes to an end, as Ken Paxton cruises to an easy victory over incumbent GOP Senator John Cornyn. Pope Leo the 14th releases his first encyclical, warning that artificial intelligence must be governed by moral responsibility and made to serve human dignity, not replace it. Vice President JD Vance brings state attorneys general to the White House as the Trump administration works to turn its anti-fraud task force into a national enforcement push. UFC and the White House prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime fight night on the South Lawn, with thousands of spectators, free tickets, and even the Oval Office as part of the show.   Birch Gold: Text MK to 989898 for a free info kit and to see if you qualify for up to $10,000 back through May 29   SelectQuote: Compare top‑rated life insurance options.

Trump's killing off of John Cornyn's political career was the last straw for Senate Republicans, who magically found the courage—for the moment—to oppose his thug fund and the cool billion dollars he's demanding for his ballroom. And while the DNC autopsy shows a party not focused on winning, Jeffries and Schumer played a very shrewd hand with their anti-ICE DHS shutdown. Plus, the staggering amount of stock trades from the guy in the Oval Office, blue California's herd mentality may end up sending a man with no message to the governor's mansion, Trump is the Henry Ford of the Chinese auto industry, and Mike makes the case for bulldozing the new East Wing.Mike Murphy joins Tim Miller for the holiday weekend pod.show notes Joe on the trader in the Oval Office Mike's EV website  Tim's playlist
