On this episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, Joe breaks down the growing clash between government power, personal freedom, and family policy. From Joe's X exchange with Senator Hickenlooper to explosive new claims surrounding Dominion Voting, the show opens with a fast-paced look at today's political battleground. Joe also examines President Trump's newly announced child savings initiative and contrasts it with expanding state-level entitlement programs, including Minnesota's latest paid family leave rollout which includes payments to illegal immigrants. Joe is then joined by automotive innovator, educator, and outspoken truth-teller Casey Putsch. Casey delivers a powerful breakdown on how modern propaganda is created, amplified, and disguised as consensus—especially through AI, media narratives, and institutional messaging. Together, they explore censorship, the fight for independent thought, the future of free speech, and how programs like Genius Garage are training the next generation to think critically rather than comply blindly.In the final block, Joe exposes the accelerating pattern of government failure and institutional protection—from the Colorado Clerk's constitutional clash to new allegations of massive public-sector fraud and the federal crackdown on SNAP data noncompliance. The show closes with a sobering look at Canada's euthanasia program after nearly 16,500 deaths in 2024, raising urgent moral and political questions about the future of Western society. As always, Joe pulls no punches in exposing corruption, defending liberty, and sounding the alarm on what's coming next.

Trump's rallies have been his signature event, but since he returned to the White House, he has stopped doing them. And his allies are worried he's losing touch with voters, as well as his political antenna. Instead of traveling the country, he's dining with billionaires, playing golf, and going abroad in search of his elusive peace prize. Meanwhile, he can't stay awake in own Cabinet meetings. Plus, the heat is on Hegseth, the ex-Honduran president Trump pardoned bragged about stuffing drugs up the noses of Americans, and the results of the Tennessee special election are a good sign for Democrats—and a reminder for the party to go all-in on the gerrymandering war. Jonathan Lemire joins Tim Miller. show notes Jonathan's piece on Trump not doing rallies The Atlantic on Germany permanently stationing troops beyond its borders 

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Natalie Orpett and Eric Ciaramella to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“The Art of the Ordeal.” The Trump administration has been at the center of yet another bout of shuttle diplomacy the last several weeks, after an initial “28-point plan” for peace in Ukraine it appeared to hash out with Russia was met with widespread skepticism, both at home and in Kiev — leading it to shift focus to a “19-point plan” officials hashed out in closer consultation with Ukrainian officials and European officials, which was subsequently rejected by Russian President Vladimir Putin. What does this chaotic process tell us about the Trump administration's strategy and priorities? And what is it likely to mean for America's Ukrainian allies? “The War Crime on Drugs.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is at the center of another controversy, this time over his reported order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on an alleged narcotics-smuggling boat this past September—an order that, intentionally or not, led to a second strike that killed several people who were by that point clinging to wreckage in the open sea, in seemingly clear violation of Defense Department practice and the laws of armed conflict. Hegseth and the White House have sought to shift responsibility for the second strike to senior military personnel, but it's not clear whether Congress—where Democrats and Republicans on the armed services committees are threatening oversight—are persuaded.“Unlawful Good.” Several legislators who are also current or former servicemembers have been labeled the “Seditious Six” by the Trump administration and its allies for public statements they made reiterating that servicemembers' are only obligated to follow lawful orders, specifically in relation to ongoing counter-narcotics military operations in the Caribbean. And at least one—Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer—has been publicly threatened with a court martial by the Defense Department. How seriously should we take these legal actions? And what could the broader ramifications be for the military?In object lessons, Ben uses his once per decade mulligan. Eric recommends his current reading selection, "Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare," a book that Scott reviewed on the Lawfare Podcast earlier this year. Scott gets into the spirit with one of his favorite seasonal albums, "It's a Holiday Soul Party." And Natalie plugs Lawfare's new Domestic deployment tracker - plus, a fabulous, olive-filled stuffing recipe (just add croutons!)Rational Security will be having its traditional end-of-year episode later this month, which will focus on listener-submitted topics and object lessons!

Bessent says White House may ‘veto’ Federal Reserve presidents   Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday he would push a new requirement that the Federal Reserve’s regional bank presidents live in their districts for at least three years before taking office, a move that could give the White House more power over the independent agency.  Bessent said that “there is a disconnect with the framing of the Federal Reserve” and added that, “unless someone has lived in their district for three years, we’re going to veto them.” Source: msn.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1995954684859941373?s=20   In a July 2025 interview, Hassett highlighted the Fed’s origins under the gold standard in 1913 to critique current practices: “When the Federal Reserve was created, we were under the Gold Standard—and the idea that the Fed could print money and then spend $2.5B on a building… I think that we’ve got a real problem of oversight and excess spending.”   This aligns with sound money ideals, where gold symbolizes disciplined, non-inflationary currency, but he stops short of calling for reinstatement.  Monetary economist Judy Shelton (author of Good as Gold) praised Hassett in July 2025 for referencing the gold standard, noting it as a reminder that “Fed has a lot to answer for” in deviating from that era’s stability.  Hassett views Bitcoin as “digital gold” for its scarcity and hedge qualities—echoing sound money without physical backing.

OUTRAGE: Minneapolis Police Chief Urges Somali Community to Dial 911 on Masked ICE Agents — Promises Cops Will “Intervene” Against Federal Arrests Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara speaks at a press conference alongside city officials as he urges Somali residents to call 911 on masked individuals Police leadership in Minneapolis is urging the city's Somali community, and other immigrant residents, to call 911 if they spot masked individuals detaining people in their neighborhoods. He urged community members to call 911 if they were unsure whether those enforcing arrests were legitimate law enforcement — and pledged MPD would investigate and log every such call. He did not stop at documentation, however. “If there is anything that is … a violation of someone's human rights or civil rights, excessive force or anything like that, they absolutely have a duty to intervene as police officers,” O'Hara declared. https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1995956308902879320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1995956308902879320%7Ctwgr%5E19002c76c52297fc2dd58664d00870448c39f149%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Foutrage-minneapolis-police-chief-urges-somali-community-dial%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com UNREAL: Mayor Jacob Frey Declares He Won't Cooperate With ICE… and Suddenly Starts Speaking Somali to His Audience Mid-Speech Minneapolis far-left Mayor Jacob Frey abruptly shifted a public address into Somali, all while promising that city police will refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

The plan was simple on paper – use immobilized Russian funds as collateral for loans to keep Ukraine afloat. But Belgium is the custodian of the largest chunk of those assets. If something goes wrong, they're the ones holding the radioactive bag. This isn't some bureaucratic squabble. It's the EU's financing strategy cracking in real time. Prévot's pushback signals the core fear: If Europe touches Russian state money without watertight legal armor, Moscow retaliates – economically, diplomatically, and possibly through countersanctions on European firms. And here's the thing: the Commission thought it had majority backing. Belgium saying “nope” on the morning of rollout is a political body-slam. Happening next? The EU will scramble to rewrite the legal plumbing. Germany and France will pressure Belgium quietly – nobody wants to admit the plan is wobbling. Russia will weaponize the hesitation as proof the West can't agree on how to bankroll Ukraine. And Kyiv? Still waiting for the money that was supposed to be “already there.” Another example of Europe discovering that seizing assets is easy. Using them? That's where the real war begins.    Ursula von der Leyen did not state that she received “permission” from the US to seize Russian assets. In a recent appearance at the GLOBSEC forum, she said that she informed the incoming Trump administration (specifically mentioning a conversation with Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent) about the EU’s proposal to use frozen Russian assets as collateral for a “reparations loan” to Ukraine, and that “it was positively received.” https://twitter.com/briefing_block_/status/1996241939931201801?s=20 https://twitter.com/Dubinsky_pro/status/1996242036417028176?s=20  regime.

No official reason was given, but the message is clear: there's no deal, yet. Putin's warning didn't help. He said Russia is “ready” for war in Europe and claimed any future conflict would be so fierce that “nobody will be left to negotiate with.” This setback casts doubt on whether a negotiated end to the war is possible anytime soon. It also suggests Kyiv isn't ready to engage on Moscow's terms. What's next: Watch for how Ukraine positions itself diplomatically in the coming weeks, and whether Trump's team will try again with a revised proposal. https://twitter.com/MJTruthUltra/status/1996059724173754525?s=20   situation may quickly arise where there is no one left for us to negotiate with” https://twitter.com/Panchenko_X/status/1996192741508645286?s=20  been given the black mark and is seen globally as corrupt.

This collaboration brought us together and still holds the promise of lowering insurance premiums.” Paul noted the plan failed because Democrat AGs fought it in court, but it could now pass through Congress. Here’s why this matters: the current system forces individuals to buy insurance alone, giving them zero bargaining power against massive insurance companies. Association Health Plans let people band together through retailers or organizations to negotiate as a group, the same way large corporations do for their employees. More buyers in a pool means more leverage. More leverage means lower premiums. It costs nothing to implement and simply changes labor law. Competition works. Let Americans shop for insurance the same way they shop for everything else. https://twitter.com/EliseStefanik/status/1995856738994565416?s=20  Raskin against Trump Republicans to block this provision to protect the deep state.

The redesign is intended to make information more accessible and transparent in a crisis to enable quick and effective decision making. The project should be complete by the end of the calendar year. -We saved the taxpayers billions of dollars by scrapping the plan for an expensive new FBI headquarters building. We will be moving to the existing Reagan building after decades of fruitless haggling as the current FBI headquarters building crumbles. -We relocated over a thousand headquarters based personnel out of the Washington DC area and into the field to focus on violent crime, crimes against children, and terrorism.

Don't let anyone sugarcoat the GOP underperformance in the Tennessee special election. I offer deep and broad analysis of how last night's results fit into a clear pattern of the GOP bleeding suburban voters in a way that will result in an electoral slaughter next year. However, there is a silver lining of a red firewall to avoid a complete wipeout, but that will require Trump to change his economic message. One thing he must do is put forward a plan to reverse the hemorrhaging of American jobs. We're joined today by Amanda Goodall, a labor market expert, who offers an in-depth analysis of why this has been the worst job market for college graduates and how she fears this is a permanent dynamic. Unlike during the Great Recession, there are so many roles being abolished. She explains how the collapse of small businesses and the rise of major corporate monopolies have allowed companies to succeed without critical talent. She believes this is much deeper than simply AI eliminating jobs. We also discuss the continued trend of outsourcing and how Trump's decision not to cancel the H-1B program is indefensible.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The New York Times, as well as the White House, dispute that Hegseth explicitly authorized the second strike or ordered to eliminate survivors. The NYT also reports that the “U.S. military intercepted radio communications from one of the survivors to what [officials] said were narco-traffickers.” 5:30pm- Following the Eagles loss to the Bears on Friday, Offensive Coordinator Kevin Patullo had his house egged.

The New Yorker staff writer Jon Lee Anderson joins Tyler Foggatt to talk about the Trump Administration's military strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats in the Caribbean. They discuss the questionable intelligence and rationale behind the operation, the legal concerns raised by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's alleged order to leave no survivors in a September strike, and whether the attacks feels more performative than strategic. They also explore how Trump's framing of the issue as a drug war intersects with his broader ambitions—from pressuring the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro, to reasserting American dominance in the hemisphere—and how other Latin American countries may respond to further military action in the region.This week's reading: “Can Trump's Peace Initiative Stop the Congo's Thirty-Year War?,” by Jon Lee Anderson “The Dishonorable Strikes on Venezuelan Boats,” by Ruth Marcus “The Legal Consequences of Pete Hegseth's ‘Kill Them All' Order,” by Isaac Chotiner “The Undermining of the C.D.C.,” by Dhruv Khullar “In the Line of Fire,” by Benjamin Wallace-Wells  The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they assess the political defeat of Aftyn Behn in Tennessee, President Trump's comments on affordability, and a call for Al Gore to run for president again.First, they celebrate the victory of Republican Matt Van Epps by nine points over far-left lunatic Aftyn Behn in the special Tennessee congressional election. The margin was narrower this time than in 2024, but Jim says this is a solid win in a special election. They also consider the likelihood that the Democrats will be running scores of young radicals like Behn in next year's midterm elections.Next, they wince a bit as President Trump refers to "affordability" as a "con job by the Democrats." It's true the left is constantly using the term, has no real plans to reduce the cost of living, and is responsible for the horrible inflation jump in the Biden years. But they're also concerned that voters may interpret Trump as simply dismissing the stubbornly high cost of living.Then, they get a kick out of a small push for former Vice President Al Gore to run for president again in 2028. That's not going to happen, but it gives Greg another opportunity to dust off his Gore impression. Jim suggests Gore would probably seem reasonable compared to the likely batch of candidates in 2028. Greg suspects Gore has shifted just as far left as they have.Finally, Jim and Greg share the difficult news revealed by a good friend of the 3 Martini Lunch and how you can encourage him.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout.  Before you check out for the holidays, do one smart thing for your future with Noble Gold.
