The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET.  First, Brad speaks with world renowned Economist Dr. Robert Shapiro about the economic pressures facing American families, including rising gas, food, electricity and health-care costs, and why Rob believes many of those increases are tied to Trump administration policies on tariffs, health care and the war in Iran. They also discuss the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates, what higher borrowing costs mean for mortgages, credit cards and car loans, and why Rob is worried about slower growth as wages fail to keep pace with inflation. The conversation also turns to the political consequences of the economy heading into the midterms and what Democrats should prioritize if they regain control of Congress. Dr. Shapiro argues that Democrats should roll back tariffs, restore Affordable Care Act subsidies and press for an end to the war in Iran as ways to reduce price pressures and show voters they are focused on improving household finances. Then, John Kenneth White joins Brad to discuss his new book, "Democracy on the Edge: The Trump Elections and the Future of American Politics." John argues that America's democratic crisis did not begin with Donald Trump, but has been made more severe by decades of growing presidential power, congressional weakness and structural problems in the Constitution. Brad and John discuss the Electoral College, the Senate, Supreme Court reform, Congress's diminished role in war powers and the broader question of whether the country's political institutions are still working as intended. The conversation also explores the country's changing racial and generational makeup, the political backlash that followed Barack Obama's election, the long-running stalemate between the two parties, and the economic divide between wealthy Americans and everyone else. John argues that younger voters are less attached to either party because they have not seen enough results, and he closes on a more hopeful note about the responsibility of ordinary citizens to protect democratic institutions and take ownership of the country's future. Brad is on the National Journal's panel of political insiders, is an American political analyst for The Times of India TV, and is a national political analyst for WGN TV and Radio in Chicago and KNX Radio in Los Angeles. Brad also writes a political column every Sunday for 'The Hill.' You can read his new Substack called, 'The Bannon Ballot Blast,' at www.bradbannon.substack.com.

Interview recorded - 25th of September, 2026On this episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of welcoming on Peter Schiff. Peter Schiff is the Founder of Euro Pacific Asset Management and SchiffGold, a physical precious metals dealer. With nearly four decades of experience in global markets and financial advisory, he is a widely recognized economist, financial commentator, and author.During our conversation we spoke about his overview of the economy, why markets are unconcerned, FED actions, debt crisis, treasury buybacks, the Bond endgame, replacement of the dollar and more. I hope you enjoy!0:00 - Introduction0:49 - Overview of the economy and markets?2:37 - Markets unconcerned6:11 - FED actions9:06 - Inflation10:58 - US deficit13:13 - Treasury buyback15:18 - Less leverage17:46 - Bond endgame20:17 - Replacement of the dollar21:34 - Bretton Wood currency?26:02 - Gold crash during crisis28:02 - Assets Peter is bullish on?29:40 - AI CrisisPeter Schiff's investment career began with Shearson Lehman Brothers in the early 1990s. In 1996, he and a partner started Euro Pacific Capital in Los Angeles, later moving the headquarters to Connecticut. The firm has since expanded, with offices in Scottsdale, Arizona, Boca Raton, Florida, Newport Beach, California, Los Angeles, and New York City. Euro Pacific Capital's investment strategy focuses on long-term wealth savings in the face of a declining US dollar with an emphasis on emerging market and commodity-focused investments.Peter is best known for accurately forecasting the 2008 financial crisis. During a Fox News debate in December 2006, Schiff said, “What's going to happen in 2007 is that real estate prices are going to come crashing back down to Earth.” Business news journals reported that Schiff accurately predicted the crisis, while “nearly all [macroeconomists] failed to foresee the recession despite plenty of warning signs.”Peter has also worked in the political arena, first serving as an economic advisor for Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign and later running for United States Senate in Connecticut in 2010 as a Republican. Politically, he leans Libertarian, with an emphasis on fiscal conservatism.Peter started SchiffGold in 2010 after recommending for decades that investors allocate 10-20% of their portfolios to physical precious metals. Peter became concerned that some of his Euro Pacific Capital clients were being misled into purchasing overpriced “numismatic” gold and silver products from gold dealers with unsavory business practices. Peter started SchiffGold to provide a trustworthy alternative that would sell only the most liquid physical bullion products at the lowest possible prices. SchiffGold is backed by Peter Schiff's Guarantee that it will only sell the most liquid physical bullion products at the lowest possible prices.Peter's expertise on money, economic theory, and international investing makes him a highly sought after as a speaker and analyst. He has been quoted and interviewed hundreds of times by media outlets around the world, including The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Die Zeit, Tokyo Shinbun, South China Morning Post, Investor's Business Daily, The Financial Times, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post. He regularly appears on CNBC, CNN, CBC, Al Jazeera, Fox News, and Fox Business Network.Peter Schiff - YouTube -  @peterschiff  X - https://x.com/peterschiffSchiff Gold - https://www.schiffgold.com/Euro Pacific Asset Management - https://europac.com/WTFinance - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfniTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas

1910 LA RIVER AT SIXTH STREETCONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-25-2026.Coastal Storms And Political UpheavalJeff Bliss discusses several major developments across the American West. In weather, Category 5 Hurricane Polorapidly intensified off Baja California, threatening severe coastal impacts following earlier damage from Hurricane Marie. Politically, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass trails DSA-aligned challenger Nithya Raman by over eleven points amid dissatisfaction with city governance. Meanwhile, Paramount reached an agreement with California's Attorney General to remain in the state rather than relocate to Tennessee. In infrastructure, Los Angeles International Airport's 2.25-mile People Mover project faces severe delays and a budget ballooning to $3.3 billion. Lastly, Tilman Fertittaapproved a $17.6 billion takeover of Caesars Entertainment in Las Vegas, while Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson faces recall pressure as major corporations flee the city. (1)Constitutional Limits On Executive PowerRichard Epstein evaluates constitutional limits on presidential power following two recent controversies. First, he addresses the Trump administration's attempt to exclude specific news outlets like CNN from covering a White Housestate dinner despite a federal court order. Epstein emphasizes that the White House operates under a public trust monopoly, making viewpoint discrimination an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment. Second, he examines an agreement signed between the United States, Denmark, and Greenland. This accord reaffirms Danish authority and NATO's defense role, demonstrating how international legal structures and diplomatic norms effectively restrain executive overreach regarding territorial acquisition claims. (2)Economic Disparities Across Lancaster CountyJim McTague details the uneven economic conditions across Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. While the historic tourist town of Lititz thrives with crowds visiting the Wilbur Chocolate outlet and local attractions, the blue-collar town of Columbia struggles financially. Columbia recently rejected a data center proposal that offered $800,000 annually due to local backlash, pinning its revival hopes instead on an 80-room hotel project. Furthermore, inflation and surging fuel prices—with diesel exceeding six dollars per gallon—are squeezing working-class residents, forcing low-income workers to commute on electric bicycles along unlit highways at night. (3)Italian Sports Security And CuisineLorenzo Fiori reports from Italy on sports, national security, and cuisine. In the Bay of Naples, five teams—led by Italy's Luna Rossa—are competing in preliminary America's Cup trials to challenge Emirates Team New Zealand, using high-tech vessels capable of reaching 50 knots. Regarding defense, Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosettodismissed reports of potential Russian drone strikes from Mediterranean container ships, calling the narrative Russian hybrid warfare intended to create panic. Finally, Fiori highlights seasonal Italian culture, recommending Lugana white wine paired with a simple tuna, olive, and ricotta pasta, or Amarone paired with steak. (4)Commercial Space Advances And ChallengesBob Zimmerman outlines major aerospace and astronomical developments. SpaceX is preparing for rapid Starship test launches while expanding its Boca Chica facilities following a favorable court ruling on a land swap. Private space investment has doubled, funding commercial ventures like Firefly's lunar landers, Stoke Space's reusable rockets, and Italy's $5 billion commitment to a mobile lunar module. Meanwhile, Blue Origin faces delays on its Blue Moon lander. Elsewhere, the Thirty Meter Telescope projeCt in Hawaii appears dead after rejecting a Spanish relocation offer, while asteroid samples from Bennu challenge solar system origin theories. (5)DShipwreck History Shapes Maritime StrategyEric Jay Dolin, author of The Wreck of the Mentor: Dolin recounts the 1832 shipwreck of an American whaling vessel off Palau. Survivors, including Horace Holden, suffered brutal enslavement and forced tattooing on Tobi Island before escaping via the British ship Britannia. The incident galvanized early American foreign policy, prompting President Andrew Jackson to deploy naval expeditions—such as the USS Vincennes—to project U.S. power, safeguard commercial whaling fleets, and assert national authority across the Pacific. Dolin traces Palau's subsequent history through Spanish, German, Japanese, and American rule to its modern sovereignty. (6)Canadian Trade Strategy And SecurityConrad Black analyzes Canadian foreign policy and trade dynamics following Prime Minister Mark Carney's interview in New York. Carney outlined plans to reduce Canada's economic reliance on the United States by diversifying trade partnerships and scaling up global energy exports to Europe and Asia. Black dismisses rhetoric regarding potential U.S. military intervention in Canada as political fantasy, emphasizing that economic diversification through expanded transatlantic trade is both practical and mutually beneficial. Additionally, Black praises a trilateral defense agreement between Denmark, Greenland, and the United States for securing strategic Arctic assets and missile defense capabilities for Western alliance nations. (7)U.S.President Donald Trump. Although the meeting produced minimal policy breakthroughs, its ceremonial form signaled stability in U.S.-China relations. Werner notes Xi's ongoing domestic focus, including internal purges within the People's Liberation Army. Economically, Trump's transactional tariff strategy met strong Chinese pushback through rare earth export restrictions, fostering a pragmatic, coercive respect between the powers. On artificial intelligence, Werner highlights a fundamental disconnect: while Washingtonfocuses on maintaining dominance and restricting technological competition, Beijingprioritizes applying artificial intelligence directly to industrial production. (8)Missile Defense And Evolving ThreatsHenry Sokolski examines the Golden Dome missile defense initiative and evolving national security threats. Initial Golden Dome deployments will focus narrowly on protecting U.S. nuclear missile fields and command infrastructure in Washington rather than offering full continental coverage. He clarifies that China's regional anti-ballistic missile systems lag behind true space-based interceptor capabilities. Additionally, Sokolski highlights the escalation of drone warfare, warning that Russia is deploying container-ship-launched attack drones in the Mediterranean. He notes with irony that Western purchases of enriched uranium from Rosatom indirectly fund Russian drone manufacturing while unaccounted-for drones surveil sensitive U.S. facilities. (9)

Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer in a live discussion in Ottawa examining Prime Minister Mark Carney's political dominance. They explore how the Trump factor sustains Carney's unprecedented coalition of Bay Street capitalists and progressive activists, why opposition parties are struggling to gain traction despite policy vulnerabilities, and whether the prime minister's aggressive legislative agenda will eventually face resistance. The conversation also covers upcoming provincial elections and their potential national implications.The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Daphne Liang - EditorSean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.

In James Chesterton's dark and thrilling futuristic satire, ASHES OF THE REPUBLIC (Broken Ledger Press; April 28, 2026), it's the year 2046 and Christian Nationalism has fully consolidated power. Evidence of liberalism is subject to punishment, women's bodies are governed by data, medical professionals have been replaced with AI, and the blueprint for authoritarian rule is no longer theoretical—it's fully operational.  At the center of the story is Lily Osbourne, a gifted technologist who once helped build the very systems that now govern daily life. After crossing her employer, Dennison Robotics CEO Iwanna Dennison, Lily is cast out of power and retreats into quiet anonymity. That fragile invisibility shatters during a routine airport screening when a TSA agent informs her that she is pregnant—which is strictly controlled by the government. In the Republic, all unregistered pregnancies are flagged. Her fetus is issued a Social Security number. The state is notified. Her body is no longer her own. She and her boyfriend Jeff Maslow, a former professor once arrested for reading Walt Whitman, must now find a way to survive, even as Iwanna Dennison claws her way to the highest reaches of power, the focus of her psychotic ambition. Deeply rooted in current events, Ashes of the Republic draws from real-world debates surrounding reproductive surveillance, the fusion of religion and state power, the erosion of privacy, and the expanding role of data and AI in governance. Policies and ideas that felt speculative during the novel's early drafts have since emerged as court rulings, legislative proposals, and political platforms. This is not distant dystopia or traditional science fiction. Nearly every mechanism of control depicted in the novel already exists today, waiting only for the removal of institutional limits to be fully realized. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Nearly 2000 members of SA's largest trade union Cosatu have converged on Joburg's Gallagher estate for the 15th National Congress. COSATU's 15th National Congress is taking place at a time when workers are grappling with the escalating cost of living, high inflation, and staggering unemployment rates. Delegates from 16 COSATU-affiliates unions are expected to vote for the labour federation's new leadership at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand. To discuss this further Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Political Economist, Dr Dale Mckinley.....

As an extension to the 5% first home buyer deposit policy the National Party has released and the Labour Party is backing, can we possibly learn from its practicality and apply it to areas that are increasingly fraught? I cite fast-track. Fast-rack is an excellent idea. It gets things done better than what we had previously. Just ask the Tauranga Port; they spent seven years going nowhere under old rules while under fast-track it took five months to be sorted. But on housing we have trouble. I've raised this with the Prime Minister, but he doesn't get it or want to get it. The key to successful election campaigns is offering simple, practical solutions to what voters perceive as problems. It's called retail politics. A 5% deposit for a young person is material and it's practical. Fast-track housing developments have turned into exactly what I said they would – trouble. Angsty, edgy, piss-people-off trouble. The Auckland Council is now considering refusing services to new developments. This is just the start. Any number of fury-filled meetings have been held, from Central Otago to Northland, to Auckland and to Christchurch over large-scale, 1000+ housing developments that are using fast-track to get the tick of approval. This will cost the Government votes. All the esoteric nonsense like bank buybacks and AI centre funding and breaking up supermarkets is beltway wonkery. Getting your backyard upended is real. They have to get large scale housing out of fast-track. Luxon argues every time I raise it that it's not just about housing, and he's correct. But that doesn't address the elephant, and if he doesn't address it, the voter will. The practicality and success of a 5% deposit for a house is directly connected to fast-track. Think about it – for average voters it's about their life. Can they afford a home and is their home their castle? Is their neighbourhood theirs? While 5% solves one, fast-track housing risks another. Ask yourself this question: are we in desperate need of tens of thousands of new houses, in a stagnant market and falling prices? It staggers me they can't see this. Politically, they need to join the dots, and fast. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ever feel like neither political party actually speaks for you anymore? You're far from alone. Millions of voters are walking away from the bipartisan machine—and the political establishment is scrambling to adapt.In this episode of The John Fugelsang Podcast, John cuts through Washington's internal chaos to reveal what these massive political shifts mean for your everyday life and your vote.He's joined by guest Adam Brandon—political bridge builder, Senior Advisor at the Independent Center, and former leader of FreedomWorks for over a decade. A proud Cleveland native with three master's degrees and deep expertise in foreign and domestic policy, Adam is passionate about uniting the "politically homeless" to put country over party.Whether you're fed up with partisan gridlock or trying to make sense of the latest defense shockwaves, this conversation delivers a clear roadmap to where American politics is actually heading next.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Iran war has reached the six-month mark, far beyond the quick victory Trump once promised. Pakistan says it's still working on diplomacy to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while Trump says he has no timetable for ending the conflict and insists the United States is winning. The big story is that there now appears to be free passage through the American-controlled corridor off Oman's coast. About half of the prewar oil traffic is reportedly getting through. That would represent a significant loss of Iranian leverage — but only if crude prices begin to fall.Brent crude remains just under $90 a barrel. That's the low end of high, not the meaningful decline we saw during the memorandum-of-understanding period. Iran is at an impasse. Regime leaders have reportedly been doxxed, people aren't getting paid because the country can't move oil, and there are rumors that the supreme leader may be dead. If Iran's leverage since the revolution was “Don't interact with us or we'll derail the world economy and set the region on fire,” that doesn't appear to have happened. Its proxies haven't ignited the region, its oil isn't moving normally, and it may now be operating without a supreme leader.Politically, though, this has been an absolute disaster for Trump. It fractured his right flank and gave independent voters permission to say, “No, this guy sucks. He lied.” He called himself the president of peace, and now we've been at war with Iran for six months. Iran's goal is to make Trump pay in the midterms, and Trump is doing a lot to help. He doesn't have tremendous instincts for winning races when he isn't on the ballot.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Venezuela would receive investment and additional revenue while American and other private firms rebuilt production. Is this energy security or an extraordinary American claim on another country's resources? To quote the Stephen A. Smith meme: We don't care. At least not when it comes to the one thing that matters in American politics — gas prices.So go gas prices, so goes the economy, inflation, and probably the midterms. Trump's original pitch was that tariffs might create instability and make foreign goods more expensive, but Americans could count on cheaper energy. A funny thing happened on the way to Tehran, and that got screwed up. More Venezuelan oil could push prices down and make it easier to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve without buying expensive crude. It would also almost certainly benefit the oil companies that remain furious about Hugo Chávez taking their equipment.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:14 - Trade War with Canada00:34:44 - Update00:36:49 - Iran00:42:19 - Venezuelan Oil00:45:13 - 9/11 Trial00:47:25 - Evan Scrimshaw's Midterm Picks01:25:03 - NFL01:48:34 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Tucker Carlson has been unusually prominent in the news over the past several days, both for his media work and for sharp political clashes around him. On the media front, Carlson continues to push his post-Fox ecosystem through The Tucker Carlson Show, focusing heavily on foreign policy and elite power. Singju Post recently published a transcript of his August 24 conversation with Harvard international relations scholar Stephen M. Walt, where Carlson hosted Walt for a long-form discussion on the wars involving Iran and Russia, the risk of nuclear escalation, and what a post-war global order might look like. Walt warned about U.S. interventionism and escalating dangers in the Middle East, China, and Europe, with Carlson framing the episode as a “war update” that challenges mainstream narratives. Rova's episode listing for August 25 promotes the same show, highlighting segments on Trump's moves in the Middle East, the potential for nuclear war, and the lack of anti-war protests, underscoring Carlson's ongoing effort to position himself as a leading anti-establishment voice on foreign policy. Carlson has also been active in interviews with other figures critical of U.S. and Israeli policy. Middle East Eye features a recent discussion between Carlson and former CIA officer John Kiriakou in which they talk about the power of the Israel lobby, AIPAC's rise, Israel's 1967 attack on the USS Liberty, and alleged Israeli involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This continues Carlson's pattern of platforming guests who argue that U.S. policy is excessively shaped by foreign lobbies and hidden intelligence narratives. In parallel, Carlson has drawn controversy for his own statements. Staten Island Live reports that he was widely ridiculed after a clip from his show circulated in which he promoted a “bonkers” theory that nuclear weapons were not created by humans. In the clip, he dismisses the historical record around the development of the atomic bomb and the film Oppenheimer, suggests nuclear weapons are somehow beyond human origin, and connects this to a broader argument that humans “rejected God” once they believed they could destroy all life. The reaction on social media and in coverage has been largely scathing, portraying the remarks as emblematic of his move into more conspiratorial territory. Carlson's influence is also being debated in the context of his past coverage of Hunter Biden. World Israel News reports that in a recently released interview with Hunter Biden, Carlson claimed that Israeli sources tied to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were responsible for feeding his former Fox show false information alleging that Biden's laptop contained child sexual abuse material. Carlson said this allegation came to his producers from a man “connected to Netanyahu,” and that “they were behind that.” The outlet notes that while forensic analysis has confirmed substantial real data on the laptop, no credible evidence has ever supported the specific abuse claim, raising questions about Carlson's sourcing and his decision now to blame Israeli actors for an explosive false allegation. Politically, Carlson is at the center of a very public rupture inside the Trump-aligned right. USA Today reports that President Donald Trump used Truth Social to attack Carlson, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Rep. Thomas Massie, calling them “THREE LOSERS,” “irrelevant,” and mocking Carlson's intelligence and audience. Trump's posts followed a meeting at Carlson's Maine home among the three, which was widely interpreted as the germ of a potential third-party or anti-MAGA Republican coalition. Trump accused Carlson of wanting to run for office and said he should be forced to take a cognitive test, claiming Carlson could only siphon a few points from the eventual Republican ticket. RT and The Hill both describe the tirade as a major escalation against former allies turned critics, with Trump framing Carlson as a failed, low-IQ figure who has become “totally irrelevant” even as some conservative commentators on CNN speculate he could be a serious contender for the 2028 Republican nomination. This political realignment is feeding broader discussion about Carlson's role in reshaping the right. The USA Today piece notes that Carlson has spoken about building a third party after breaking with Trump and that Greene has publicly declared that “the movement has begun” in reference to this anti-MAGA grouping. Zenger News similarly recounts Trump's Truth Social post attacking the trio and mocking Carlson's political ambitions as news of their alliance circulates. These stories cast Carlson as a nucleus for a dissident conservative faction skeptical of Trump's foreign policy, especially on Iran and Israel, and more broadly of the direction of the Republican Party. Meanwhile, the business ecosystem around Carlson still matters even when he is not directly involved. Yahoo News highlights a recent Southampton fundraiser hosted by Vice President JD Vance that drew attention partly because two co-founders of 1789 Capital, the “anti-woke” venture firm that had financed Carlson's media venture, were listed as hosts. The story notes that Carlson and his partner Neil Patel bought out their investors in 2025, but the presence of those early backers at a major establishment Republican fundraising event underscores how Carlson's media project sits at the intersection of populist content and elite conservative finance. Finally, Carlson continues to collaborate with other media personalities in live discussions that challenge mainstream foreign-policy views. A recent YouTube livestream promoted as a wide-ranging discussion between Carlson and Rick Sanchez focuses on Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Israel, NATO, and the risk of broader conflict, with both men criticizing Washington's foreign-policy establishment and arguing that the U.S. is driving toward unnecessary wars. Paired with his interviews on AI data centers with Redacted host Clayton Morris, as documented by Singju Post, this shows Carlson using long-form formats to connect foreign policy, technology, and elite power as core themes of his post-Fox brand. Taken together, the last few days show Tucker Carlson simultaneously expanding his media footprint through deep-dive interviews on war and technology, provoking backlash for his more extreme or conspiratorial claims, and playing a central role in an emerging anti-Trump, anti-establishment conservative bloc that is now drawing direct fire from the former president. These developments continue to fuel debates over how much influence Carlson retains over the American right and whether he is evolving into a political actor in his own right or remaining a highly polarizing media figure whose audience and alliances are in flux.

If you’ve been thinking about having kids, last night’s National Day Rally might have given you something to rally about. Parents - and those who are considering having children - were the focus of PM Wong’s address on August 23. In a nutshell, parents will get more help: more childcare leave and financial support, along with lower pre-school fees and more ballot chances when buying their first BTO flat. But will this move the needle on our Total Fertility Rate, which now stands at 0.87? Natasha asks Senior Parliamentary Secretary Goh Hanyan from the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth why the Government shifted its stance to consider every child equally. Dr Reuben Ng, associate professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and a father of four, shared his thoughts on when the Government needs to roll out more measures for this reset to count. Highlights (click/tap above): 2:17 Were the parenthood measures good enough? 6:56 Why tackle the cost concerns first? 12:15 Should mothers get medals for having more kids? 17:24 Why not taking leave is sometimes seen as a “badge of honour” 20:41 Hanyan’s experience juggling political office and being a mother-of-three 25:14 What about colleagues who cover parents on leave? 28:20 Are singles getting the short end of the stick? 33:41 Politically risky to invest so much public funds into parenting? 38:21 How fast does the Government need to roll out the measures?

TABLE OF CONTENTS, JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-11-2-26Mary Kissel discusses North Korea's transformation into a critical military supplier for Russia's war in Ukraine, providing ballistic missiles and thousands of combat troops. This collaboration integrates Pyongyang into an "axis of tyranny" alongside Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran to challenge the West and NATO. Kissel notes that the Kim regime's involvement stems from a desire for cash, a need to demonstrate missile capabilities, and a shared goal of weakening U.S.global influence. This development highlights the long-term failure of U.S. diplomacy to prevent North Korean nuclear proliferation and serves as a warning regarding Iran. (1)Jonathan Schanzer addresses the mysterious absence of Iran's Supreme Leader and the resulting tightening grip of the IRGC on the government. The regime is characterized as sclerotic, relying on aging hardliners with "blood on their hands" to maintain power. Meanwhile, the Houthis have escalated attacks in the Red Sea, targeting Saudi infrastructure and shipping ports like Mocha and Jazan. Schanzer argues this is a strategic move by Iran to shut down trade on both sides of the Arabian Peninsula, exploiting a lack of unity between competitive regional powers like Saudi Arabia and the UAE. (2)Liz Peek analyzes the surprisingly vigorous U.S. economy, where consumer spending and small business optimism remain high despite elevated oil prices and stagnant job growth. While the Fed weighs interest rate hikes to curb inflation, a "wealth effect" from the stock market continues to buoy the economy. Politically, Peek highlights a "civil war" within the Democratic Party, where "revolutionary" candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are challenging the establishment in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin. These far-left candidates struggle with electability among moderate voters in general elections. (3)Joseph Sternberg observes that the current midterm cycle has become an "election about nothing," with both parties failing to articulate clear policy agendas. He argues that Congress has outsourced its constitutional authority to the executive branch and regulatory agencies, losing the habit of legislating. This vacuum is being filled by "celebrity influencers" from the MAGA and DSA factions who prioritize social media attention over governing. Consequently, critical issues like Social Security reform and fiscal reality are being ignored until an inevitable crisis forces congressional action. (4)Gregory Copley evaluates the new "Mecca Joint Defense Agreement" between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, which aims to counter Iranian influence despite mutual distrust among the members. The discussion also explores the massive transformation of global trade routes, including China's "Ice Silk Road" through the Arctic and Russia's International North-South Transport Corridor. Copley notes that these routes aim to bypass vulnerable maritime choke points like the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, he provides a report on King Charles III's summer activities and public engagements in Scotland. (5)Veronique de Rugy critiques the Trump administration's shift toward "socialism on the right," evidenced by the government taking ownership stakes in private companies like Intel. Often justified by national security, these interventions mirror European state-owned enterprise models that historically burden taxpayers and distort market competition. De Rugy argues that such moves make private companies hostage to government dictates, such as labor or diversity requirements. By adopting policies championed by far-left senators like Bernie Sanders, the administration risks damaging long-term economic efficiency and creating a "state enterprise" system similar to China's. (6)Ahmad Sharawi explains that Russia has secured its military foothold in Syria through a new memorandum of understanding with the Al-Shara government. Russia will maintain access to vital maritime and aerial bases for its operations in the Mediterranean and Africa, while Syria remains dependent on Russian grain and energy. Sharawi notes that the U.S. appears to be losing diplomatic leverage by removing sanctions without obtaining counterterrorism concessions or progress in neutralizing ISIS. The new Syrian administration is successfully playing major powers against each other to maintain domestic stability and maximize international benefits. (7)Samuel Ben-Ur and Bill Roggio discuss the "Board of Peace" plan for post-war Gaza, which proposes a civilian Palestinian government overseen by international forces. A significant impasse remains: Israel refuses to withdraw until Hamas is disarmed, while Hamas has endorsed the plan, likely hoping its allies—Turkey and Qatar—will oversee the verification process. The discussion reveals that Gaza's tunnel network is more extensive than previously believed, with only 40–50% cleared after years of war. One proposed solution to prevent Hamas from regrouping is filling the remaining tunnels with cement. (8)Thaddeus McCotter analyzes the Michigan Senate race between Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, a Rhodes Scholar supported by the far-left DSA. El-Sayed's primary victory over the Democratic establishment highlights the growing influence of "woke" ideology in college towns. While El-Sayed attempts to pivot to the center for the general election, his lack of a public voting record makes his true agenda difficult to pin down. McCotter suggests the race will test whether voters will reject the "Jacobin" manifestations of cancel culture and extreme progressive policies in favor of a more traditional candidate. (9)All nine files this time, with Gregory Copley in place at (5).

Liz Peek analyzes the resilience of the U.S. economy, where strong consumer spending and business optimism persist despite high oil prices and stagnant job growth. While the Fed weighs interest rate hikes to curb inflation, a "wealth effect" from a robust stock market continues to buoy higher-end consumers. Politically, a "civil war" is brewing within the Democratic Party as far-left candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) challenge the establishment in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin. These ideological divisions raise significant questions regarding the electability of progressive candidates in the upcoming general elections. (3)

The $20 Burrito. Young American Generations Crippled Competing for Every Scarce Resource- Housing, Healthcare, Employment, Food and Even Burritos. Andrew Branca.   The Burrito War: A Battle of Realities & Narratives Who is right in the burrito war that has exploded over social media these last few days? Is it the Boomers who project their own lived experience to urge younger generations to just buckle down, put their nose to the grindstone, pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and everything will eventually be OK? Or is it those younger generations whose own lived experience is an ever-escalating cost of living driven primarily by an invasion of tens of millions of third-worlders competing for every scarce American resource—housing, healthcare, education, employment, infrastructure, food—even burritos!—and EVERYTHING ELSE? The answer is in a sense a dichotomy: They are BOTH right. AND it doesn't POLITICALLY matter.

Episode 5534: A Politically Impossible Situation; AI Creates Competition With Itself

Rahm Emanuel is a Democratic Party elder, having served in the Clinton and Obama Administrations and as mayor of his native Chicago for two terms. He's a centrist known for valuing political wins over ideology, making it especially notable that Emanuel recently gave a blistering speech in Israel, calling the country's path “not sustainable politically.” He says that the United States should no longer grant Israel unconditional military support, and explains his own plan for a diplomatic Middle East solution that he calls a “twenty-three-state solution.” Emanuel, who hasn't formally announced but appears to have embarked on a campaign for the 2028 Presidency, defends his position on trans rights, which has angered many on the left, and his contention that the Democratic Party is overly concerned with identity politics.  Further reading:  “Trump and Rahm Emanuel Both Love a Fight, Especially Against Each Other,” by Susan B.

If you vote for Democrats you're voting for more assaults, more robberies, more of every type of criminal thing. You're also embracing an absence of morality and decency as part of the party platform and the resulting assassination culture right along with it. Life is about making choices. Politically in this country, the choice is crystal clear and seemingly every subsequent day brings more stories of this our way.

United Kingdom correspondent Grace Thomas spoke to Lisa Owen about the murder of former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe, which police say there is nothing to suggest was politically motivated, as well as two British tourists who have been rescued after getting caught up in deadly Spanish wildfires while hiking.

Truman's Rally and the Brave Dissent of Margaret Chase Smith GUEST: Nick Bunker In May 1950, a politically wounded Harry Truman embarked on a western tour to rebuild momentum and refocus the nation on his "Fair Deal." Despite a high-profile Chicago rally featuring stars like Elizabeth Taylor, his approval ratings continued to plummet amid the ongoing coal strike and corruption scandals in cities like New York. Within his own party, the "middle way" was failing to find traction. Amidst this polarization, Senator Margaret Chase Smith delivered her courageous "Declaration of Conscience" speech, calling out the Republican Party for using "fear, ignorance, bigotry, and smear" — her "Four Horsemen." She criticized both McCarthy's tactics and the Truman administration's perceived "bitterness" and lack of leadership. Though she was the first Republican to publicly challenge McCarthy, her message fell on "deaf ears" as the Senator's power grew. Only weeks later, the North Korean sneak attack on June 25 changed the world forever, ending the period of "shadow of fear" and beginning a hot war. (8)1952 STORK CLUB

Benjamin L. Carp discusses his book on the 1776 fire. As George Washington enters New York in the spring of 1776, he finds a politically fractured and largely depopulated city. Most residents had fled to avoid the coming conflict, leaving the town diminished. Washington remains suspicious of loyalist pockets while the British Navy controls the harbor. The segment highlights rebel outrage following the British burning of Charles Town and Falmouth, setting a tense backdrop for the eventual Manhattan conflagration. (1)1760

She discussed the many ways her creative process intersects with the extracurricular noise of pop superstardom, whether its managing relationship drama; being targeted for the way she dresses; accusations of pilfering songwriting gestures from Taylor Swift, her onetime idol; or her willingness to speak up about political and social causes in a way many of her peers won't. - Watch the video episode here.

1. Government Fraud Crackdown (Trump/Vance Initiative) The administration is prioritizing eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in federal programs. A federal fraud task force claims: 186,000+ deceased individuals are still receiving SNAP (food stamp) benefits via identity fraud. 400,000+ people are allegedly receiving duplicate benefits (“double dipping”). Its a taxpayer protection effort with stronger enforcement expected. 2. Policy Actions and Consequences Threats to withhold Medicaid funding from states that fail to investigate fraud. Proposal for stronger penalties (e.g., jail, loss of benefits), though current deterrence is described as weak. Politically positioned as a major accountability push tied to reducing government spending. 3. Hospice and Healthcare Fraud Allegations Major focus on California (Los Angeles): Claim: a disproportionate number of hospices located there (about one-third nationwide). Allegation: up to half may be fraudulent. Actions taken: 800 hospices suspended, cutting off ~$1.4 billion in payments. Nationwide moratorium on new hospice and home health care licenses. Rationale: Fraud operations allegedly relocate to other states when cracked down locally. 4. Political Divide Republican perspective: Fraud crackdown is necessary and widely supported by voters. Seen as long-overdue accountability. Democratic criticism: Concerns about overreach, rushed investigations, and harm to legitimate services. Public sentiment (per the document): Broad agreement that fraud should be eliminated regardless of party. 5. CIA Whistleblower Allegations (COVID Origins) A whistleblower claims: CIA scientists initially favored a lab-leak theory for COVID-19. The official position shifted to “inconclusive/neutral.” Accusation: Anthony Fauci influenced intelligence discussions and expert selection. His involvement may have shaped the narrative away from the lab-leak conclusion. Evidence cited: Meetings and communications in 2020–2021. Internal disagreements within intelligence agencies. 6. Conflict of Interest Concerns Raised in questioning: Fauci allegedly had connections to Wuhan-related research funding. Concern he may not have been an objective contributor. Whistleblower suggests: Influence was indirect but significant, through shaping expert input. 7. Hearing Controversy No Democrats attended the Senate hearing with the whistleblower. Avoidance of scrutiny or accountability. Used to reinforce a broader narrative of political bias or cover-up. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
