On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, WREC's Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. Political violence is a rising trend driven by radical left extremists radicalized by the Democratic Party. Democrats, including leaders like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, are using  inflammatory rhetoric—labeling Republicans as fascists, Nazis, and threats to America—to incite people against opponents like President Trump and Charlie Kirk.  We are witnessing a hardcore desensitizing to the idea you can kill anyone you think is a threat to what you believe in.  Also, the media echo's the Democrat Party. They won't tell you the real story of what happened to Kirk. Some in the media are even claiming that nobody on the left is cheering Kirk's death.  ABC's Matt Gutman gushed over Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin, and his transgender romance. He called Robison's text's touching and intimate. The texts read like a psycho covering for his transgender lover.  In a normal world Gutman would have been fired. Learn more about your ad choices.

More To The Story: The shocking assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week was part of a wider, horrific trend: the rise of political violence in America. But Kirk's murder also seemed to reveal something even darker. Before a suspect was found—when facts were scarce—the race for political retribution was already well underway. This week, Utah prosecutors charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with seven counts related to Kirk's death, including aggravated murder. The charging documents say Robinson described Kirk as someone who “spreads too much hate.” According to prosecutors, Robinson's mother told investigators her son had started to lean to the left politically and that he was “becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented.” She said her son was in a relationship with his roommate, and that the roommate was transitioning. Prosecutors also released a text exchange between Robinson and that roommate shortly after Kirk's death, in which Robinson confesses to the crime. On this week's episode of More To The Story, Mother Jones National Affairs Editor Mark Follman examines America's spiraling political discourse, why early explanations of motive in gun violence incidents are almost always misguided, and why the Trump administration is cutting federal funding for programs meant to prevent violent incidents like Kirk's assassination.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al Letson Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Read: Trump Prepares to Wipe Out Years of Progress on Gun Violence (Mother Jones)Listen: Lessons From a Mass Shooter's Mother (Reveal)Read: Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Shootings in America (Dey Street Books)Watch and read: No, Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way (Mother Jones) Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Episode 2640 - UK and USA enter into AI agreement. Political operative involved in Kirk's assassination. TV anchor resigns over Charlie Kirk. Kash Patel says no Epstein Evidence. Kirk being called a NAZI? Great show today.

Democrats haven't handled Charlie Kirk's death well, and it's hurting their party. Ed doesn't see a path for Curtis Sliwa to become mayor of New York. Mamdani is likely to win the mayoral race, especially after his recent endorsements. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a silent bull market right now that no one is talking about. Gold has had a powerful breakout and silver's lagging but still strengthening. Gold has surged from $2,000 to $3,600 since 2023, driven largely by central bank buying amid global distrust of U.S. reserves. Investors should approach metals through ETFs rather than individual picks unless you have deep expertise. We also talk the likelihood of rate cuts under political pressure, persistent “slow burn” inflation from tariffs and supply issues, de-dollarization, and the need for diversification beyond passive index funds. Inflation isn't dead, passive portfolios are under strain, and active allocation to precious metals may be one of the most underpriced opportunities available. We discuss...  Gold has staged a historic breakout, climbing from around $2,000 in 2023 to roughly $3,600, with central bank buying acting as the primary driver. Global distrust in the U.S. dollar and concerns about the credibility of U.S. reserves are pushing sovereign nations toward gold accumulation. Unlike gold, silver remains more dependent on retail participation and industrial demand, leaving it lagging but positioned for potential catch-up. Silver faces supply constraints that limit downside, with demand tied to solar, electronics, and other industrial uses, making it a dual-purpose metal. Mining stocks were highlighted as structurally poor businesses due to high costs and weak capital discipline, yet they are soaring as leveraged plays on rising metals. Junior miners offer the most explosive upside but come with extreme risks, making them closer to speculative lottery tickets than investments. For most investors, ETFs and broad metals exposure were recommended as the safer approach compared to individual mining stock selection. Inflation is not “dead” but a persistent, slow-burn phenomenon fueled by tariffs, supply chain issues, and ongoing policy shifts. Political pressure makes interest rate cuts increasingly likely, regardless of whether inflation is fully under control. A broader theme of de-dollarization is accelerating gold's role in global reserves as nations seek alternatives to U.S. dominance. Passive index funds were critiqued as over-reliant on historical correlations that no longer hold, leaving portfolios vulnerable. The hosts concluded that gold, silver, and related hard assets remain one of the most underpriced and overlooked opportunities for active investors today.

We're six months out from the statewide Illinois primary, and the main showdown is shaping up to be the Democratic race for Dick Durbin's Senate seat.

On this episode of In The Loop, host Sasha-Ann Simons and our panel of Illinois politicos size up the candidates and break down the race to replace outgoing Senator Dick Durbin in D.C.

Hate speech is protected by the First Amendment's free speech rights. However, Attorney General Pam Bondi, either not knowing or not caring about this constitutional protection, expressly threatened to use the powers of the Department of Justice to "target" people who engage in hate speech. What's worse, when she tried to issue what some have called a "walk back", she neither corrected nor retracted her initial constitutional blunder.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Warning Signs Ignored:The suspect allegedly showed multiple warning signs before the shooting, including becoming more political, distancing himself from coworkers during political discussions, and openly expressing intentions to harm Charlie Kirk. Friends, family, and even coworkers reportedly noticed this but may not have taken it seriously. The Shooting & Evidence:After firing the fatal shot, video footage shows the suspect escaping by jumping off a building. Investigators recovered forensic evidence from the scene, including DNA on a towel wrapped around the firearm, a screwdriver, and potentially on the rifle itself. These DNA samples matched the suspect, confirming his involvement. The Note & Motive:A note was reportedly left by the suspect, stating he had the opportunity to kill Kirk and intended to take it. Though the note was destroyed, forensic traces and interviews confirmed its existence and content. The motive is tied to political ideology, which investigators say "infected him and had taken over." Investigation Challenges:Law enforcement officials emphasized the need to determine whether people in the suspect’s circle knew about his intentions and ignored them, or dismissed them as jokes. Accountability for those who failed to act is being considered. Political & Legal Dimensions:The Utah governor, Spencer Cox, noted that the suspect had clear left-leaning political beliefs and expressed dislike for Kirk. The confirmation of forensic evidence and DNA ties the suspect directly to the crime, opening the possibility of the death penalty. Praise for Law Enforcement:The document also contains praise for the FBI, local authorities, and figures like Dan Bongino, Kash Patel, and Donald Trump for their roles in handling the case.

But isn't that a First Amendment violation?

Jo welcomes activist and Siren Network co-founder Sam Schwartz for a conversation about what real political influence looks like in the new media landscape. They dig into how creators are moving audiences from passive news consumption to active organizing, why legacy outlets have lost their edge, and what it takes to build an independent platform that actually shapes discourse. Alongside the challenges of building new media power, Sam shares hard-won insight from years of fighting for common-sense gun reform—explaining why political will, not public consensus, is the biggest roadblock to change.

Charlie Kirk becomes the center of controversy as many raise questions about whether his recent targeting is part of a larger political assassination attempt—figuratively or literally. The debate is heating up, and the implications are massive. What do you think?

Ansley Hutchinson, Tess Menzies, and Gabe Sanchez from the Boredwalk content team recap recent events in U.S. politics and policy and discuss the novel methods the regime is using to evade calls to release the Epstein Files, as well as JD Vance's pathetic obsequiousness as he licks his chops at the prospect of assuming the presidential mantle. It's truly impressive that he's able to walk upright with so little spine. Our hosts move on to less consequential examples of misdirection and distraction, like relocating the headquarters of the U.S. "Space Force" (insert eye roll here), various legal wins & losses handed to the regime courtesy of the courts, with the Supreme Court's looming decision on the regime's tariff scheme mere weeks away, which has significant implications on the cost of consumer goods during the holiday season. This is followed by a nice palate cleanser in the form of a glowing review for our "slightly imperfect" 90s activity book for adults Whatever! before diving right back into the muck to respond to a well-meaning — but nonetheless virtue signaling — "fan" who scolds us for "being divisive." Ansley astutely points out that we are merely reacting to the objectively more dangerous and divisive behavior and rhetoric of MAGA. In a desire to take things out on a high note, our hosts wrap up the episode by trading answers to questions pulled from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! This week we answer the questions "what's the most backhanded compliment you've ever received?", "what are you paranoid about?", and "what makes you feel most fulfilled?"

His co-leaders apologised - but Mr Ferris has since doubled-down - and now the party's president John Tamihere has weighed in too. Political reporter Tuwhenuaroa Natanahira spoke to Lisa Owen.
