00:00:50 – Government Shutdown TheaterThe federal government officially shuts down, with Trump using the standoff as political theater. Debate focuses on “essential vs. non-essential” workers, furloughs, and how long the shutdown will last. 00:24:02 – TrumpRX & Pfizer DealTrump unveils a partnership with Pfizer branded “TrumpRX,” promising drug discounts. Critics call it blatant crony capitalism that rewards Big Pharma while MAGA supporters falsely hail it as a victory. 00:46:54 – QAnon Spin on TrumpRXQ influencers claim Trump's Pfizer deal is part of a secret White Hat operation against Satanists, reading hidden meanings into “17 billion.” Knight ridicules the delusion and highlights how the grift deceives Trump's base. 01:07:08 – Pharma Propaganda & Natural AlternativesDiscussion shifts to how Big Pharma captured public trust after COVID, erasing opioid scandals. Knight stresses natural remedies over corporate drugs, contrasting propaganda-driven medicine with genuine health. 01:19:00 – Trump's Military in CitiesTrump tells generals U.S. cities like Chicago should be used as training grounds for the military. Critics warn this is the path to a police state, the same drills conservatives opposed under Obama. 01:25:41 – Pentagon Revolt Against HegsethTrump's Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth clashes with military brass after pushing to rewrite defense strategy to focus on homeland threats, cut foreign deployments, and purge DEI. Generals push back, fearing instability. 01:35:14 – Trump's Narcissism on DisplayTrump rambles before military leaders about firemen and his Nobel Peace Prize ambitions, threatening to fire generals “on the spot” if disloyal. Critics call it dangerous narcissism and political theater. 01:41:07 – Media & Military Fitness MockeryThe View ridicules Hegseth's push for tougher fitness standards, while Knight argues a fit fighting force is essential. The contrast highlights cultural rot inside the military. 01:48:03 – Military for Israel, Not AmericaAudience comments stress the U.S. military serves Israel's interests, not America's defense, with speculation that Trump is preparing forces for Gaza or Iran. 01:51:52 – UK Legalizes Muslim ViolenceDiscussion of UK court rulings where criticizing Islam leads to arrests while Muslim attackers are released, effectively enacting blasphemy laws under Sharia influence. 02:35:00 – CIA Patterns in Venezuela & SyriaAnalysis of whether the “Tren de Aragua” gang is a CIA creation to justify regime change in Venezuela, compared to past U.S. operations arming jihadists in Syria. 02:52:00 – Speech Crimes in EuropeExamples of Europeans jailed for social media posts on immigration or gender, with courts criminalizing Christian or conservative dissent while protecting progressive ideology. 02:57:37 – Technocracy & Human CloningClosing segment warns of Brave New World science using skin cells for artificial embryos, framed as state-backed technocracy to replace families and push LGBT agendas.

I had a bit of a run-in with Spanish police the other day. It was pretty stupid, but at least I got some content out of it. So today's episode is about your rights in Spain (as a resident, tourist, or whatever) when dealing with Spanish law enforcement. Know your rights in a police stop and if you've been arrested. As usual, talk to a lawyer if you have doubts! Here's the article: https://expatmadrid.com/police-state/My lawyer is Roberto at https://melcartabogados.com/Thanks as usual to Raúl at Bike Tour in Spain: https://biketourinspain.com/Cultural tours with Walks: https://expatmadrid.com/walks/Food and market tours with Devour: https://expatmadrid.com/devour/Etc, etc.

Professor Barbara Walter says the thing that scares her the most is the "police state being built around us, in real time, disguised as something meant to protect us."

Too chicken to go the LA, NY and Chicago eh? I am really starting to pity Trump’s loyal cult members as he absolutely humiliates them AGAIN. This time after selling his fascist military as a a ‘necessary expansion’ of executive authority to ‘combat lawlessness and illegal immigration’ in LA, Chicago, San Francisco, New York and other blue cities, Trump turns around and deploys exclusively to the reddest of red states, exclusively! From The Independent: “The deployments will take place across the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming, per Fox. Texas is reportedly slated to have the largest deployment.” (Btw … don’t be a victim of stressflation! PROTECT your wealth and thrive in a down economy with gold and silver.

Oh and he’s also importing 600,000 Chinese undergrads to replace American students at universities, just another phase in the humiliation ritual of blatant betrayal of his base. Meanwhile the digital prison is being erected at a breakneck pace as techno-fascisim expands across America.

President Donald Trump has deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C. and 19 states, a move sparking fierce debate. Is this a bold step to restore law and order, or does it push the nation toward a police state?

Ryan is the host of ‘The Last American Vagabond’ podcast and one of the leading independent journalists in the country. Today we delve into the big picture tyranny transforming America into a digital surveillance state, the tactics and the culprits. Of course both parties are to blame, but why can’t people see it? George Washington warned us: "However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." How can we break the population out of the two party political cult system? Or is it too late? We discuss this and more today on The Shannon Joy Show.

Things can seem surreal when insurrectionists and murderers roam free, as those determined to uphold the law are fired, and throwing a sandwich gets you a felony...and a place in history. As more National Guard troops flood into Washington D.C. under the guise of tackling crime, we review the alleged beat-down heard 'round the world when a DOGE staffer with a nickname of "Big Balls" said he got jumped by pre-teens at 3am. Also, Texas and California continue to angle for gerrymandered seats in Congress, more Heritage Foundation bros appointed to positions of power, RFK Jr. continues to make the world worse, and Putin gets greeted like a got a one-on-one date on The Bachelor.

Guest Jim Pfaff, The Conservative Caucus, joins to discuss the federalizing of DC to fight crime. Is it an "authoritarian power play", or the federal government taking back power it used to have? Discussion of crime rates, Democrat response, and more.  President Trump and Putin meet in Alaska to discuss peace. Democrats pushback against Trump's peace discussions. What is the response from Ukraine, do they have any say in the negotiations, and are there actors behind the scenes wanting the conflict to continue?

Tim explains why Americans need to fight about dumb stuff again, finds out he's named in the Candace Owens vs. Brigitte Macron Lawsuit, warns about the militarization of police in Washington, DC, learns about a strange development at a Florida La Quinta Inn, and tells us all why that establishment is so important to this country.  American Royalty Tour

War Room DC Residents Embrace Trump's Police State With Other Democrat City Residents Requesting the Same

After the tragic 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the FBI rolled out the same "lone nut" narrative about who did it. However, much evidence exists to show that FBI informants and agents embedded with white supremacy groups may well have been involved.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/oklahoma-city-bombing-lesson-government-lawlessness

Palantir's power is growing by the minute, largely due to its symbiotic relationship with the White House and Pentagon. Its billion dollar Maven deal with the DOD, multi-billion dollar deal for Army data, and even larger deals for missile defense, place the company at the forefront of preparation for a war its CEO predicted in 2024. It's work with the White House to build a spy apparatus for U.S. citizens along with affiliate groups launching programs to eliminate the First Amendment, all coupled with the deployment of national guard for surveillance and crime, indicates preparations for a domestic war perhaps linked to the wider global war Palantir is planning. Whatever the case, the agents involved are almost exclusively Israeli and part of the intelligence community, from OpenAI and Oracle to Facebook, Google, and Palantir which works directly with the U.S. and Israeli military. Perhaps it has something to do with the Israeli plan to totally occupy Gaza, something partly run by Palantir, or the agenda for regime change in Iran which itself has been promoted by algorithms. Palantir is also using data collection to gather sexual information on British citizens and police data in Germany. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

War Room Trump Ignites Debate Over Police State and Who Is Responsible For the Most Dangerous Cities In America, After Plan To Federalize Washington DC

Remember the time when we thought martial law was imminent and unmarked black helicopters would be seen, panicking people who thought they were about to be taken away to a FEMA CAMP? Well, we have confirmation, not from any conspiracy theorist or renegade guerrilla journalist but from the government itself. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says "Alligator Alcatraz" will serve as a model for state-run migrant detention centers, and she hopes to launch a handful of similar detention centers in multiple airports and jails across the country in the coming months. Potential sites are already under consideration in several states across America. Welcome to the Police State sponsored by the New World Order.

We're joined by journalist and best-selling author, Jonathan Alter, to dig deeper into the latest in Trump's America. Jonathan's most recent piece in Washington Monthly explains how the BBB's enormous funding for ICE will turn America into a police state. With over 75 billion dollars, ICE will now be bigger than all American law enforcement agencies combined. We discuss Trump's authoritarianism, including the ongoing shake down of American universities and law firms. Plus, Texas Republicans are redistricting the state to add 5 new Republican seats to the House. How can Democrats fight back? Can California and New York do the same? Amid all of the depressing news, Alter also brings a message of hope! He deeply believes in the importance of people power. Citizens are learning ways to resist and make their voices heard. And with the coming midterms, he's optimistic that Democrats CAN take back the House.  DONATE to World Central Kitchen and help feed the starving people of Gaza: https://donate.wck.org/ READ Jonathan's piece on ICE in Washington Monthly: https://washingtonmonthly.com/2025/07/14/america-is-now-a-police-state/ CHECK OUT Jonathan's Substack, Old Goats: https://oldgoats.substack.com/ For information on our newest sponsor, Mint Mobile: www.mintmobile.com/franken

Over the last six months, life has been upended for  millions of people in America as Stephen Miller's extreme immigration policies have been unleashed.

Here we are in 2025, and since the attacks on 9/11, we have been seeing our freedoms being taken from us for the sake of "safety." In Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, billions of dollars have been set aside for the building of new prisons and to fortify and militarize local and state police, and of course, ICE. Even US citizens are now being interrogated on the streets about their citizenship as we see ICE agents in apartment buildings knocking down doors and National Guard troops on the streets blocking traffic. The new Police State will come to your workplace, your home, your neighborhood, your park, in a very visible way and intentionally so.
