DESCRIPTION A bombshell Facebook post from Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis is sending shockwaves through South Carolina politics. Tara breaks down allegations involving congressional redistricting, gubernatorial politics, endorsements, and the growing battle over who controls the future of the Republican Party in South Carolina. PODCAST SUMMARY South Carolina politics takes center stage as Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis publicly weighs in on one of the most controversial political disputes in the state. The discussion focuses on allegations surrounding congressional redistricting, political endorsements, and the high-stakes maneuvering that could impact both South Carolina's governor's race and control of a critical congressional seat. Tara examines claims that political negotiations, personal ambitions, and party infighting may have influenced decisions affecting the state's political landscape. The conversation also explores the broader implications for Republican voters, President Trump's agenda, and the ongoing battle for control of Congress. Questions surrounding political loyalty, succession planning, and establishment influence become major themes throughout the episode. At the heart of the debate is a growing frustration among grassroots activists who believe political insiders are prioritizing personal power over long-term political strategy. Whether voters agree or disagree with the allegations, the controversy is becoming one of the most talked-about stories in South Carolina politics.

Part 4 of Exposing the Matrix takes a hard look at government and political power. From media monopolies and surveillance programs to intelligence agencies, emergency powers, political theater, and manufactured division, we examine how fear is often used to expand authority while citizens are encouraged to trade liberty for the promise of safety. This episode is not about left versus right. It is about recognizing patterns, questioning narratives, and understanding the spiritual reality behind systems of power. As always, we measure everything against Scripture and remember that our ultimate trust belongs in God, not the institutions of men.Website: https://www.foundationsinfaith.netEmail: thefacthunter@mail.com

Peter Mauch explains that as War Minister, Tojo—nicknamed "The Razor"—instilled iron discipline within the fractious Japanese army to earn the Emperor's favor. He consolidated political power by centralizing military communication and cashiering insubordinate officers. Meanwhile, Japan eyed the defenseless Southeast Asian colonies of European powers, determined not to "miss the bus." (12/16)1943

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Ed Gallrein, President Trump's hand-picked candidate, defeated Thomas Massie in a congressional primary in Northern Kentucky. Gallrein's victory is seen as a sign of Trump's grip over his base in solid Republican states, despite national surveys showing the broader electorate souring on the president's handling of issues. The primary was one of the most expensive on record, with nearly $33 million spent.2) President Trump threatened to resume strikes on Iran in the coming days as part of the push for a deal to end the war. The Republican-led US Senate signaled opposition to continuing the war with a procedural vote on Tuesday evening that reflected deepening unease over a foreign conflict. Vice President JD Vance projected a slightly more positive tone on the negotiations, saying "we think that we've made a lot of progress, we think the Iranians want to make a deal," but also threatened a resumption of strikes.3) Talks between Samsung and its largest labor union broke down, raising the prospect of a strike that may disrupt global chip supply and hamper Korean economic growth. A general work stoppage will go ahead after Samsung’s management rejected a proposal from government mediators that had been accepted by the union, according to labor leader Choi Seung-ho. The collapse in negotiations puts the global technology supply chain at risk because Samsung is the world’s biggest supplier of chips that go into devices from data center servers to smartphones and electric vehicles.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
From Apple News In Conversation: At the end of April, the Supreme Court’s ruling on Louisiana v. Callais significantly weakened the Voting Rights Act.

In response, several Republican-controlled Southern states have moved to redraw their congressional maps. Adam Serwer, a staff writer at The Atlantic, joins Apple News In Conversation guest host Sam Sanders to help explain this pivotal moment and the long history of voting rights in America.

I don't want to seem ungrateful because I really have benefited much from the contributions of what might be called “Banner of Truth” postmillennialism. However, the emphasis with this strand of theology is almost entirely focused on the gigantic ticker tape parade of evangelism, mission work, intense revivals, and more. Scarcely a thought is given to how we might clean up after the parade, who would be responsible for that task, and what our laws would look like after the revival.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

On this episode of the podcast, Ryan Walters, former Oklahoma State Superintendent and now CEO of the Teacher Freedom Alliance, joins to break down his ongoing fight to reshape American education. Walters details his efforts in Oklahoma to eliminate CRT from classrooms, expand school choice, and return decision-making power to parents.He exposes the massive financial muscle of teachers unions, revealing more than $10 million spent to oppose his reforms and over $1 billion in political spending over the past decade. Walters argues that this influence has allowed the left to maintain a grip on education, often at the expense of student outcomes.With momentum building, including a 14,000-member surge in his organization, Walters makes the case that a growing number of Americans are pushing back against what he describes as ideological indoctrination in schools, and are demanding accountability, transparency, and parental control in education.You can learn more about the Teacher Freedom Alliance by visiting their website: https://www.teacherfreedomalliance.com/ and you can follow Ryan Walters on X, along with this podcast and Host Amanda Head by searching for their respective handles: @RyanWalters_, @AmandaHead, and @FurthermorePod.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The full show is anchored by a series of high-impact Supreme Court decisions and their political fallout, starting with a major Voting Rights Act ruling that strikes down race-based congressional redistricting in Louisiana and ignites nationwide debate over how districts are drawn and who benefits from them. Hour 1 sets the tone with a forceful defense of the ruling and its implications for Missouri's 1st District, alongside discussions on political representation, emerging surveillance concerns tied to Ford driver-monitoring technology, and a tribute to country legend David Allan Coe. Hour 2 expands the redistricting battle nationally while adding breaking stories on a St. Louis postal investigation involving dumped mail, NCAA Tournament expansion talks, Cardinals performance analysis, and broader cultural headlines ranging from Greece tourism restrictions to elder-care financial strain and entertainment speculation. Hour 3 shifts into federal policy and enforcement, highlighting a Justice Department rollback of Biden-era ATF gun regulations and a Supreme Court decision reinforcing a colorblind constitutional standard, while also covering Minnesota fraud raids tied to taxpayer-funded programs and political backlash involving Governor Tim Walz. Hour 4 closes with another major Supreme Court clash over immigration protections for Haitians, broader debate over ideological divisions on the Court and calls to expand its size, and further ATF regulatory reversals affecting gun dealers and private sales. Across all four hours, the show threads together themes of constitutional interpretation, federal overreach, political power shifts, and cultural tension points shaping national discourse.

The power the police wield on the streets of this country is plain to see. Less visible, but no less formidable, is the immense political power and influence that the police exercise. Historian Stuart Schrader describes how police unions amassed enormous power over the last fifty years.

The Gospel is inherently political—concerned with how human beings live together, how power is exercised, and who bears its cost—but it is not partisan, and the difference between those two things matters enormously. The Ignatian tradition, from Ignatius's own Two Standards meditation through five centuries of Jesuit witness, offers a framework for engaging political reality not through tribal allegiance but through fidelity to a gospel that consistently finds itself on the side of the poor, the marginalised, and the truth.

Why do evangelicals struggle when they gain political power?This conversation breaks down the tension between Christian ethics and modern politics, focusing on how ideas like moral purity, leadership, and authority translate (or fail to translate) from the church into government.The discussion explores Christian nationalism, the historical Protestant influence on America, and how institutions like universities shape cultural values.It also examines why applying church-based standards (like purity and holiness) to political leadership can create ineffective governance and poor decision-making.A major theme is the difference between biblical holiness vs. an obsession with purity, and how that distinction impacts leadership, culture, and policy. James Baird and Josh Howard also address controversial topics like moral hierarchy, sexual ethics, and cultural decline, offering a theological and sociological perspective on modern political engagement.If you’re interested in religion and politics, evangelicalism, cultural influence, or political theology, this conversation provides a deep and thought-provoking analysis.
Bill joins fellow FDD colleagues, Cameron McMillan and Ryan Brobst, from the Center on Military and Political Power to reassess the combat objectives met by the U.S. military after seven weeks of engagement in the Iranian War.

We discuss I-10's avoidance of the southside of Tallahassee as an early and rare win for black political power in Florida during the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. We also talk about how the move of I-10 north has in time created more problems for Tallahassee. Additionally, we discuss the building of I-110 through Pensacola and how it decimated that black community.
In this episode, bestselling investigative journalist Peter Schweizer joins Lisa to expose the shocking revelations from his new book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon. Schweizer reveals how mass immigration has been deliberately transformed from a humanitarian issue into a strategic political tool — one wielded by American elites, foreign governments, activist NGOs, and powerful institutions to reshape elections, demographics, culture, and governance in the United States. Far from accidental policy failure, this “invisible coup” is a calculated long-term power play. Peter breaks down the coordinated influence campaigns operating behind the scenes, the role of foreign actors in shaping U.S. policy debates, and how educational institutions and NGOs have helped manufacture public consent for policies that benefit the powerful at the expense of everyday Americans. This eye-opening conversation pulls back the curtain on weaponized immigration and explains why it poses one of the greatest challenges to America’s future sovereignty and national identity. In this episode, you’ll discover: How immigration became a tool for political and demographic engineering The foreign interests and governments actively shaping U.S. immigration policy The hidden role of NGOs, activist networks, and educational institutions in influencing public opinion Why The Invisible Coup argues this strategy is deliberate — not accidental or incompetent What informed citizens can do to understand the tactics and push back effectively If you want to understand the real forces driving the border crisis, demographic shifts, and political polarization in America today, this is an episode you cannot miss.

In this episode, Word&Way President Brian Kaylor considers Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's use of the English Standard Version of the Bible, patriarchy in the faith communities Hegseth has been a part of, and his Christian Nationalism. It also reveals that Hegseth's ESV Bible includes two Crusader symbols stamped onto the cover (and that match tattoos on his body): a Jerusalem Cross and the phrase "Deus Vult." This is the second episode of "A Trick of State," a special occasional series from Dangerous Dogma. In this series, Kaylor investigates underexplored issues at the intersection of church and state that expose the false promises of Christian Nationalism. This episode includes interviews with sociologist Samuel Perry (author of Religion for Realists and coauthor of Taking America Back for God and The Flag and the Cross) and journalist Sarah Stankorb (author of Disobedient Women and the forthcoming Damned If She Does).

Guest host Joey Hudson fills in for Mike and takes aim at what he calls political hypocrisy in Washington, focusing on the ongoing government shutdown and the battle over the Senate filibuster. He argues Democrats claim they want to reopen the government and fund agencies like TSA while repeatedly voting against measures that would actually end the shutdown, tying the dispute to demands over immigration enforcement and ICE. The conversation expands into broader debates about the filibuster, immigration policy, and public safety—raising questions about whether political maneuvering in Congress is putting Americans, including travelers and communities dealing with repeat offenders, at risk.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, First Lady Melania Trump calls in to explain how she successfully facilitated the return of Russian and Ukrainian children to their families after they were separated because of the war. She also discusses her new movie – MELANIA, which is in theaters now. Afterward, the Democrats in the House voted against funding key components of the Department of Homeland Security, including FEMA, TSA, the Secret Service, and others, while ICE funding continues through 2027. Democrats are pushing demands that would severely hamper ICE's ability to identify, apprehend, detain, and deport illegal aliens, while granting increased protections to them. Democrats will orchestrate a propaganda campaign, with media assistance, to blame Republicans for resulting inconveniences to air travelers and disaster victims when they shut down the government. Later, several members of Congress, including Senator Mark Kelly released a video urging military personnel and intelligence community members to defy or turn against the commander-in-chief without justification. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth took action against Kelly arguing that allowing such actions to go unchecked erodes military discipline and standards. But federal judge Richard Leon for issuing a ruling that blocked the Pentagon's attempt to strip Kelly of his rank and pension, calling the decision contemptible, stupid, and an overreach. Leon should retire or leave the bench now. Finally, Don Hodel calls in to discuss his new book: Called to Serve: My Path to President Reagan's Cabinet and Beyond. Learn more about your ad choices.
