Over the holidays, we're rebroadcasting some of our favorite interviews from 2025. President Donald Trump this summer set off an unusual mid-decade redistricting scramble after he asked Republican-led states to redraw their congressional districts to give the GOP more seats in Congress. California Democrats responded with their own new map, which voters approved through Proposition 50 in November. Scott and Marisa discuss the history of gerrymandering with Los Angeles Times writer James Rainey, taking us back to an earlier era when it was a regular part of California's political landscape.

Une tribune publiée récemment dans le magazine français Le Point a provoqué une tempête dans le débat démocratique africain. Adrien Poussou, ancien ministre centrafricain et auteur de cette tribune, propose de suspendre les élections présidentielles pendant 10 ans pour sauver la démocratie sur le continent. Proposition audacieuse ou insulte et provocation ? L'Afrique doit-elle arrêter pour un temps de voter ? Tandis que certains perçoivent ces élections comme des scrutins trop souvent entachés d'irrégularités, de fraudes ou de manipulations institutionnelles au profit des dirigeants en place, comment redonner confiance aux votants ? Peut-on vraiment protéger la démocratie en gelant l'un de ses fondamentaux ? Avec la participation de : Adrien Poussou, ancien ministre centrafricain, consultant en géopolitique, auteur d'une tribune «Faut-il suspendre les élections présidentielles pour sauver la démocratie en Afrique ?» à lire dans Le Point Gilles Yabi, analyste politique, fondateur et président du think tank Wathi Mathias Hounkpé, politologue béninois, chef du département «Élections et processus politique» au sein de l'Institut électoral pour la démocratie durable en Afrique (EISA).
On this episode, Ty sits down with Pastor Ché, a Korean immigrant and 46-year veteran pastor running for California Governor. Pastor Ché shares the moment God called him to run on April 28th, his immediate response of "God, please not this, it is impossible," and the miraculous White House invitation that came just five hours after he asked for confirmation. You'll hear his incredible story, from growing up as the son of a North Korean pastor imprisoned under communism to his own battle with drug addiction at 17. He shares the supernatural moment at a Deep Purple concert in 1973 when he encountered Jesus, walked out before the main act, and was instantly delivered from addiction. That was 52 years ago. Pastor Ché breaks down California's crisis points: Proposition 1 codifying abortion through the ninth month, transgender sanctuary state policies, teen suicide now the number one killer of youth ages 10 to 18, $5 billion spent on homelessness with $2.5 billion unaccounted for, the bullet train to nowhere that's burned through nearly $100 billion with not one foot of track laid, and defunded police departments. He lays out his vision for common-sense solutions: DOGE-style audits of every department, fully funding law enforcement, balanced environmental policies, and calling for a statewide day of prayer and fasting on day one. He's the only person of color running in a state where over 50% are people of color, has zero political background but 46 years of proven integrity, and brings a spiritual dimension focused on revival. Ty and Pastor Ché find common ground in running for office after receiving divine impressions and believing voters need to look beyond party affiliation to character and values. Pastor Ché's message is clear: California's problems are fundamentally spiritual, and it's going to take more than policy changes to bring restoration. Visit che4ca.com to support his campaign. Anyone in all 50 states can contribute. Most importantly, he asks for your prayers for California. As always, we would like to hear from you!

La presse algérienne revient largement sur cette adoption de la proposition de loi criminalisant la colonisation française. « Adoption à l'unanimité » par les membres de l'APN, l'Assemblée populaire nationale en plénière, souligne le journal algérien El Moudjahid. Le média parle d'« une démarche inédite [qui va] dans le sens de la préservation de la mémoire nationale et de l'établissement des responsabilités, d'autant plus que, jusque-là, la France coloniale se refuse à reconnaître ses crimes coloniaux en Algérie ». Le journal algérien Le Soir décrit la proposition de loi : « Structurée en cinq chapitres comprenant 27 articles, [elle] s'appuie sur "les principes du droit international consacrant le droit des peuples à l'équité juridique et à la justice historique et la fin de l'impunité". » Le quotidien algérien L'Expression analyse ce « texte mémoriel aux enjeux stratégiques ». Cette proposition est « un acte fondateur de justice historique », explique le média, qui décrit le texte en deux temps. D'abord : « Sur le plan interne, l'adoption de ce texte est présentée comme un levier de renforcement du Système législatif national en matière de protection de la mémoire. (…) ». « Mais, souligne L'Expression, au-delà de sa dimension mémorielle, cette initiative revêt [aussi] des enjeux stratégiques et géopolitiques majeurs. (…) ». Ainsi « en portant le débat sur le terrain juridique, l'Algérie cherche à internationaliser la question des crimes coloniaux et à les inscrire dans les normes relatives aux crimes contre l'humanité ». À lire aussiAlgérie: le Parlement valide la loi de criminalisation de la colonisation française « Une première en Afrique » Et, cette loi criminalisant le colonialisme est aussi présentée comme « une première en Afrique », explique le journal en ligne algérien TSA. Il revient notamment sur les propos de l'expert en politique internationale Abdelkader Soufi, sur les ondes de la Radio algérienne. Le spécialiste explique que cette loi vise « à établir un cadre juridique clair pour qualifier, reconnaître et condamner les crimes commis par la puissance coloniale ». La nouveauté dans ce texte réside dans « la classification détaillée des crimes, incluant désormais des faits longtemps marginalisés ou passés sous silence (...) » c'est-à-dire « la torture, les exécutions sommaires, les massacres de masse, les enfumades, les kidnappings et les viols » qui sont des pratiques « rarement reconnues dans les textes officiels auparavant ». Ce texte va donc au-delà de la reconnaissance symbolique, souligne la presse. Il criminalise la colonisation pour reconnaître les crimes car « la loi qualifie explicitement la colonisation française, qui s'est étendue de 1830 à 1962, de crime d'État », rappelle Afrik.com. « En cinq chapitres, elle recense les exactions commises durant cette période ». Des excuses officielles attendues de la part de la France Et, cette proposition de loi réclame notamment des « excuses officielles » de l'État français pour les crimes commis. Des excuses « présentées comme un préalable indispensable à toute "réconciliation mémorielle" entre les deux pays », souligne Afrik.com. Pour rappel, en 2021, le président français, Emmanuel Macron, avait qualifié la colonisation de l'Algérie de « crime contre l'humanité », mais sans présenter d'excuses officielles au nom de l'État français. « Une nuance que les autorités algériennes n'ont jamais cessé de souligner », commente le média. La loi prévoit également une « indemnisation complète et équitable pour les préjudices matériels et moraux causés par la colonisation. Elle appelle la France à restituer l'ensemble des archives liées à cette période ». Autre point mentionné par la proposition de loi : la décontamination des sites affectés par les essais nucléaires français. Le texte possède également des dispositions pénales qui répriment la glorification de la colonisation. « Les relations avec l'ancienne puissance coloniale demeurent fragiles » Et, les réactions de Paris sont commentées aussi. Le média Observalgerie mentionne les déclarations du Quai d'Orsay : « Paris estime que cette loi va à l'encontre de la volonté de reprise du dialogue franco-algérien et d'un travail serein sur les enjeux mémoriels ». Par ailleurs, le Quai d'Orsay a précisé que « la France n'avait pas vocation à commenter la politique intérieure algérienne. [Le Quai d'Orsay] a toutefois rappelé "l'ampleur du travail engagé par le président" Emmanuel Macron sur les questions mémorielles, notamment à travers une commission mixte d'historiens des deux pays. » Dans sa déclaration, le ministère français a également réaffirmé sa volonté de « continuer à travailler à la reprise d'un dialogue exigeant avec l'Algérie ». Ce qu'il faut retenir, souligne Afrik.com, c'est qu'« au-delà de ses effets juridiques concrets, cette loi marque un tournant : celui d'un État qui choisit de faire de la mémoire un acte législatif, et de l'histoire un enjeu pleinement politique, au moment même où les relations avec l'ancienne puissance coloniale demeurent fragiles et chargées de non-dits ».

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Assemblyman David Tangipa (R‑Clovis) is a lead plaintiff challenging California’s Proposition 50, which authorized new congressional maps. He argues the maps unfairly favor Democrats and Latino voters, violating constitutional protections.

Last spring, California voters narrowly passed Proposition 1 to reform behavioral health care across the state.It calls for a $6.4 billion bond to fund behavioral health beds and housing, and hands more money to the state to focus on treating serious mental illnesses and addiction.Now, county officials say they've been forced to cancel 21 contracts with agencies that provide preventative services.We talk about what this means for behavioral health services and community members in San Diego County.Guest:Lisa Halverstadt, senior investigative reporter, Voice of San Diego

It's Tuesday, December 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Chinese Communists arrested 18 pastors over evangelism online Chinese Pastor Ezra Jin and 17 other pastors have been arrested by Chinese Communist authorities on charges of using illegal information networks. Translation? Putting the Gospel message on Zoom is now illegal in China. The pastors are facing three years in prison. A pastor's wife described the situation on the Christian Broadcasting Network. WIFE: “China opened the door for the Western society and then grow their economy. I grew up from that period of time. So, I thought we weren't gonna be put in jail because of our Christianity or our faith.” Chinese officials convicted liberty advocate Jimmy Lai Not surprisingly, those Chinese communists have convicted Hong Kong's pro-liberty advocate, Jimmy Lai, with conspiracy to collude with foreign forces. It's a charge that could put him in prison for life. This was the highest profile case since Hong Kong was turned over to the communists in 1997, and Hong Kong's democratic elections halted in 2020. China to eliminate out-of-pocket expenses for childbirth China is planning to eliminate all out-of-pocket medical costs for childbirth with the hopes of encouraging more births. China's fertility rate is dismal, hovering around 1.0. In fact, Chinese deaths have outnumbered births for three years in a row now. The countries with the lowest fertility rates in the world are Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Ukraine, and Chile. Two Muslim men killed 16 Jews in Sydney, Australia On Sunday, two Muslim men, a father and son, have been identified as suspects in the killings of 16 people at a Jewish celebration of Hannukah in Sydney, Australia on Bondi Beach, reports the Associated Press. That's the worst mass shooting in Australia since the Port Arthur massacre of 1996 where 35 people were killed and 23 were injured. Providentially, a bystander of Muslim background, 43-year-old Syrian fruit shop owner, Ahmed Al-Ahmed, happened on the scene. He tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen during the deadly massacre, preventing further carnage. Ahmed was shot in the shoulder and arm while hiding behind a tree after confronting the gunman. Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is promising “tougher gun laws” in response. Actor Rob Reiner and wife allegedly killed by son Director and actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were found dead Sunday, apparent victims of foul play at their home in Los Angeles, reports The L.A. Times. Sadly, Rob Reiner was an atheist, as was his father, Carl Reiner — another famous movie director. Rob Reiner will be best remembered in the political realm for his leftist views, especially in his opposition to California's Proposition 8, and efforts to introduce homosexual marriage to the state and the country. At last report, Rob and Michele's son Nick, age 32, has been taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department, charged with the murder of his parents. He has a long history of drug addiction. Exodus 21:15 speaks to this sort of crime, as do Jesus's words in Matthew 15:4: “And he who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.” Little Sisters of the Poor vs. Obamacare continues After 14 years, Little Sisters of the Poor, comprised of Roman Catholic nuns, continues to object to the Obamacare mandate to provide coverage for abortifacients for their organization. Back on July 8, 2020, the Supreme Court ruled 7–2 in favor of the Little Sisters, upholding federal rules that exempted religious organizations from the contraceptive mandate. But now, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have refused to drop their efforts to take away the Little Sisters' protection in the lower courts. Last August, a rogue federal district court in Philadelphia ruled against the Little Sisters and vacated the religious exemption rules that had protected them. The case is in appeal to the Third Circuit Court. Bill Clinton unresponsive to Congressional subpoena over Epstein GOP House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced he will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings against Bill and Hillary Clinton. At issue is the Clintons' decision to ignore the committee's subpoenas issued back in August, in relation to investigations of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal. Epstein visited the White House 17 times in 1993 after Bill Clinton's inauguration. Artificial Intelligence: Time Magazine's “Person of the Year” Time Magazine's Person of the Year goes to Artificial Intelligence or rather, the architects of AI. Spending on Artificial Intelligence development has increased from $40 billion to $400 billion in just the last ten years. Nvidia's stock has increased 60-fold, while Microsoft and Alphabet, Inc. have increased 7-fold over the same timeframe. Kirk Cameron advocates unbiblical theology of annihilationism Actor and Christian celebrity Kirk Cameron suggested in his recent podcast that hell is not forever — a departure from the long-held position of an eternal punishment for those who do not trust Christ, reports The Christian Post. CAMERON: “Eternal judgment or eternal punishment doesn't necessarily mean that we are being tormented and punished forever and ever, every moment for eternity. It means that the punishment we deserve is irreversible. It's permanent; it's eternal. You're dead. You've been destroyed. You have perished. You're gone, and you're never coming back.” This theological position is called annihilationism, a belief that all damned humans and fallen angels – including demons and Satan -- will be totally destroyed and their consciousness extinguished. CAMERON: “I actually think this is a really good argument for annihilationism. Just because the righteous go to eternal life, which is the gift of God, not that the wicked are granted an eternity of punishment. The punishment of the wicked is final. It is irreversible.” Rev. Al Mohler, President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, called the admission “sad.” And in his words: “The admonition to confess Christ or risk non-existence just doesn't pass the New Testament test, and there is a good reason it doesn't work in a sermon either. The stakes are just too low, and the fires of hell hold no eternal consequence.” At the final judgment, as recorded in Matthew 25: 41-43, Jesus said to those on His left hand: “Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.' … And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Imprisoned fathers reunited with daughters at dance And finally, the “God Behind Bars” organization links local churches to prisons, and reunites families, especially children with their incarcerated parents or grandparents. This Christmas season, the organization sponsored its first Father-Daughter Dance at the Angola Louisiana State Penitentiary. Twenty-nine fathers were reunited with their daughters that night, many of whom had not seen their daughters for years — some over a decade. The ministry calls these events "moments of restoration … and the Gospel in motion." Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, December 16th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Republicans have sued state leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Secretary of State Shirley Weber, for the newly drawn maps, which voters approved through Proposition 50. Assemblyman David Tangipa, R-Fresno, is among the group that sued.

Religious freedom, especially for Christians, is under attack across the globe, including in the West–including right here in the United States. Whether insidiously in the form of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that block Christians from employment and advancement opportunities, or, overtly, like vandalism against churches, or, in some parts of the world, murderous violence against Christians themselves, in terms of sheer numbers–and this fact is often ignored–Christians are, by far, the most persecuted religious group in the world. While defending religious freedom is important for people of all faiths, or no faith at all, it is thus especially urgent for believers in Christ. How, then, can we work together as a church and as a society to make progress on this front? Taking a step back, what, specifically, is religious freedom and why is it a universal human right? What is the relationship between the free exercise of religion and freedom of speech? And how can we respond to the secular charge that religious freedom is merely a backdoor means for the faithful to impose their beliefs on others? A listener asks how we can grow in confidence that Catholicism is the one true religion. Topics Covered: 00:00 | Introduction 01:36 | Concluding Winona-Rochester's diocesan synod 03:24 | The work of the Religious Liberty Commission 07:33 | Responding to Religious Liberty Commission criticism 09:11 | The inherent priority of religious liberty 12:32 | Distinguishing the freedoms of religion, conscience, and speech 14:26 | Is religious liberty necessary for worship? 16:33 | Understanding "due limits" to religious liberty 19:33 | Proposition or imposition? 20:24 | Civil authority and religious authority 22:40 | Truth and relativism 27:25 | How poor conceptions of religion undermine religious liberty 28:27 | Advocating for religious liberty 30:06 | Religious freedom in society 31:36 | Why religious liberty matters for evangelization 32:48 | Listener question: How can we know Catholicism is true? 36:01 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: Dignitatis Humanae: Vatican document Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast?

Ce n'est pas forcément un sujet sur lequel on l'attendait : le Rassemblement national propose de rouvrir les maisons closes. Le député Jean-Philippe Tanguy va déposer une proposition de loi prochainement pour réautoriser ces maisons fermées en 1946. Il souhaite la création de coopératives gérées par les prostituées elles-mêmes pour renforcer leur sécurité.

Utah GOP filed for a stay, no ruling yet Sutherland Institute Survey: Utah voters think elected officials, not judges, should choose congressional maps https://sutherlandinstitute.org/utah-redisticting-survey/ Do voters agree or disagree with the court-driven process produced by proponents of Proposition 4? Sutherland Institute recently commissioned Y2 Analytics to conduct a survey of Utah voters to investigate this question. By a 63-point margin, Utah voters believe that the policymakers they elect should be making redistricting decisions over judges. A full 71% of Utah voters say that an elected body or elected official at the state or county levels ought to have primary responsibility to decide congressional maps, compared to 8% who say judges should be primarily responsible. A plurality of Utah voters say that a body elected by the people (e.g., the Utah Legislature or county council) should be making redistricting decisions, while 21% of voters say it should be a state-level elected official (e.g., the governor), and 15% say it should be a county-level elected official (e,g., a county mayor). 5 Democratic Candidates in the D1 2025 Race State Sen.

The National Pork Producers Council is engaged in multiple battles across the U.S., citing key concerns over labor, trade, and the impact of the current administration's "Make America Healthy Again" initiative. A major concern is the proliferation of state-level animal housing regulations, led by California’s Proposition 12, which mandates specific space requirements for breeding pigs and other animals. It's influencing laws in other states like Oklahoma and Massachusetts. Lucy Russell, NPPC's director of producer engagement, says the organization is pushing for a legislative fix in the next Farm Bill to prevent a costly patchwork of conflicting regulations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aujourd'hui, Barbara Lefebvre, professeure d'histoire-géographie, Laura Warton Martinez, sophrologue, et Yves Camdeborde, cuisinier, débattent de l'actualité autour d'Alain Marschall et Olivier Truchot.
The AgNet News Hour opened with host Nick Papagni and co-host Lorrie Boyer, sharing the latest updates from California and nationwide agriculture. They discussed weekend highlights and emphasized the abundance of California-grown produce for consumers, even during holiday seasons. Tyson Foods Cattle Packing Closure and Industry Impact A major story covered was the closure of Tyson Foods' cattle packing plant in Lexington, Nebraska, which is projected to reduce slaughter capacity by 7,000 to 8,000 head per day, a 7.5% to 9% decrease in total U.S. capacity. Tyson's Amarillo, Texas plant is also reducing operations by eliminating a shift. Nick and Lorrie noted that with cattle herds at historically low levels, rebuilding will take years, extending beyond the previously projected 2026–2027 timeline. This disruption, however, may create opportunities for local, grass-fed, or direct-to-consumer beef producers, reducing reliance on the four major beef corporations. Positive Developments in Dairy and School Nutrition In positive news, the hosts highlighted a Senate bill supporting milk in schools, benefiting the dairy industry. Milk remains a vital source of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, and the show emphasized the importance of encouraging physical activity in children rather than blaming milk for obesity. Modern Parenting and Convenience Challenges Nick and Lorrie discussed modern parenting and reliance on technology and convenience, noting that children need structured physical activity. This led into a discussion about the critical support farmers require, particularly in navigating California's complex regulatory and labor environment. Interview with Bryan Little – Supporting California Farmers Bryan Little, representing the California Farm Bureau, shared insights on his dual role: advocating for farm employers in legislation and regulation, and managing the Farm Employers Labor Service (FELS) to assist with compliance on wages, hours, safety, training, and human resources. He highlighted the constant changes in California labor regulations, emphasizing the need for ongoing guidance for farmers. Regulatory Growth and Automation Challenges California's regulatory landscape has expanded dramatically. Bryan noted that compliance posters for agricultural workplaces have increased from two to five since 2008. While some regulations may seem redundant, they are legally required, adding complexity for farm operators. Bryan emphasized outdated rules, such as 1977 regulations preventing autonomous tractors, despite California being a leader in ag tech. These restrictions limit productivity and innovation, even when autonomous equipment could operate safely in scenarios like mowing orchard rows or applying pesticides. Labor and Immigration in California Agriculture The discussion addressed labor challenges, including immigration policies affecting farm workers. California agriculture relies on a stable workforce for food production, environmental protection, and rural community sustainability. Bryan Little stressed the importance of maintaining dialogue with policymakers to ensure farmers can meet regulatory standards while sustaining operations. Rising minimum wages and labor shortages are driving increased automation, yet outdated regulations hinder its deployment. Proposition 50 and Political Representation Bryan explained the Farm Bureau's opposition to Proposition 50, noting that legislators from urban areas often lack understanding of rural agricultural issues. Both hosts highlighted that policymakers with real-world business or farming experience are rare, making informed decision-making for agriculture challenging. Nick suggested initiatives like “Ag 101” boot camps for legislators to ensure policymakers understand the complexities of California farming. Resource Management and Sustainability The discussion expanded to water management, wildfire prevention, and sustainable land use. Bryan noted that sheep and goat grazing could reduce wildfire fuel loads and that better local resource utilization could decrease dependence on pesticides and fossil fuels. He stressed the importance of sustainable agricultural practices and proactive environmental stewardship. Educating the Public and Bridging Knowledge Gaps Bryan highlighted the need to educate the public and policymakers about agriculture's impact on local economies, food production, and job creation. By providing guidance to farm employers, FELS helps bridge the knowledge gap, ensuring that communities understand the value of a thriving agricultural sector. Automation, Labor Costs, and California Policy Challenges Bryan discussed the economic pressures on farms, including high labor costs, regulatory burdens, and freight expenses. Automation could reduce costs and provide tech-oriented jobs, but Cal OSHA restrictions prevent deployment of autonomous machinery, creating regulatory inconsistency compared to autonomous vehicles in other sectors. Supporting Farmers and Looking Ahead The AgNet News Hour concluded with a reminder to support small farmers and engage with organizations like the California Farm Bureau. Bryan Little was praised for his advocacy, and listeners were encouraged to visit FELS.net and the California Farm Bureau website for resources. Future episodes will focus on wine industry insights with expert interviews, continuing the conversation on sustainable agriculture, labor, and innovation in California.

After a lopsided victory earlier this month, can California's redistricting Proposition 50 survive a legal challenge? And why do last January's devastating fires in Los Angeles continue to raise unsettling questions? Hoover senior fellow Lee Ohanian and distinguished policy fellow Bill Whalen, both contributors to Hoover's California on Your Mind web channel, join Hoover senior product manager Jonathan Movroydis to discuss the latest in the Golden State including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's pending retirement, what the indictment of a former Newsom chief of staff says about Sacramento's political culture, plus a tech-rich Northern California county's search for more tax revenue – and, speaking of wealth, the politics and sensibility of a 5% wealth tax on California billionaires possibly headed for next year's ballot. Recorded on November 18, 2025.
What are the main tenets of the sexual revolution and who are some of the main victims? How do the debates over gender connect to the overall sexual revolution?

California Politics and West Coast Issues. Jeff Bliss reports on California Governor Gavin Newsom's successful Proposition 50 to reshape congressional districts, a move linked to increasing Newsom's presidential visibility. Newsom's public persona is increasingly marked by anger and profanity aimed at political opponents. Other issues include Las Vegas resorts reconsidering "nickel-and-diming" practices, ongoing regulatory hurdles delaying rebuilding in Maui, and routine fires in LA's growing homeless encampments.
SHOW 11-7-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE MUCH DEBATED AI VALUATIONS. FIRST HOUR 9-915 California Politics and West Coast Issues.

Newsom's public persona is increasingly marked by anger and profanity aimed at political opponents. Other issues include Las Vegas resorts reconsidering "nickel-and-diming" practices, ongoing regulatory hurdles delaying rebuilding in Maui, and routine fires in LA's growing homeless encampments. 915-930 Canadian Politics, US Trade Relations, and Energy Pipeline Development. Conrad Black discusses a domestic Canadian political misunderstanding involving Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Doug Ford over an anti-tariff ad that annoyed President Trump. The focus shifts to Canadian energy policy, noting the need for new pipelines to move oil from Alberta east, west, and south. Carney's government has tentatively agreed to approve a second pipeline to northern British Columbia, which would more than double the daily oil shipment capacity to the west. 930-945 Supreme Court Arguments on Presidential Tariff Authority and NYC Mayor-Elect. Professor Richard Epstein analyzes Supreme Court arguments regarding the President's expansive use of a 1977 law to impose tariffs, predicting a likely 7-2 ruling against the administration. Epstein argues that viewing successful worldwide trade as an "emergency" is intellectually flawed and an abuse of executive discretion. Separately, he expresses concern that New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist lacking administrative experience, risks impoverishing the city by ignoring competitive federalism. 945-1000 Supreme Court Arguments on Presidential Tariff Authority and NYC Mayor-Elect.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Economic Slowdown and Election Observations in Indiana and Pennsylvania. Jim McTague identifies signs of an economic slowdown affecting people beyond the lowest economic rung. Restaurant business in Indiana is down 3 to 5%, and expensive home renovations have "dried up." Costco shoppers are exhibiting extreme caution, buying essentials with little impulse spending. In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a large turnout resulted in Democratic victories, suggesting voter reaction against local Republicans perceived as "Trumpists." Anticipated layoffs at Amazon and Walmart are expected to impact local employment. 1015-1030 Italian Defense Strategy and the Geopolitical Situation. Lorenzo Fiori discusses Italy's defense buildup using EU loan deals to acquire new armored vehicles from Germany's Rheinmetall through a joint venture with Leonardo. This modernization is crucial as Italy is strategically situated near the Ukrainian conflict and faces risks from troubled North African countries, particularly potential Russian influence in Libya. Although the military is needed for disaster relief, public opinion often remains against increasing defense expenditures. 1030-1045 Spacefaring News: NASA, SpaceX Records, and Global Space Issues. Bob Zimmerman reports on the renomination of Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator following a previous withdrawal. SpaceX is setting new launch records, aiming for close to 180 launches this year, though an FAA launch curfew might jeopardize this prediction. Other topics include Boeing avoiding criminal charges regarding the 737 Max crashes, opposition to the EU Space Act, Starlab's commercial space station development, and China's stranded crew due to space debris damage to their Shenzhou capsule. 1045-1100 Spacefaring News: NASA, SpaceX Records, and Global Space Issues.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Augustine's Response to the Sack of Rome and Theological Battles. Professor Katherine Conybeare discusses Augustine, the African, and his response to the 410 AD sacking of Rome, which motivated him to write The City of God. The work defends Christianity by arguing Rome was always vulnerable. The source also covers the "rigged" Council of Carthage against the Donatists, Augustine's role in developing the just war theory, and his debate against Pelagianism, which led to the formulation of original sin, transmitted through sexual intercourse. 1115-1130 1130-1145 1145-1200 FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Nuclear Proliferation Concerns Regarding Small Modular Reactors and Weapons Testing. Henry Sokolski raises proliferation concerns about Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) using High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) fuel (20% enriched). Declassified cables from 1954 and 1977 suggested that uranium above 10% requires special concern, demanding a review before SMRs are exported. Sokolski also clarifies that US maintenance of its nuclear arsenal relies on non-critical tests and simulations, not full-yield explosions, though adversaries may be conducting critical tests. 1215-1230 Nuclear Proliferation Concerns Regarding Small Modular Reactors and Weapons Testing.

Richard Smith compares the space race between Elon Musk's SpaceX ("the hare") and Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin ("the tortoise"). Blue Origin operates under the cautious motto Gradatim Ferociter, funded by Bezos's personal wealth, aiming to move heavy industry off Earth. SpaceX is driven by Musk's "existential" goal to make humanity interplanetary, operating with urgency. SpaceX ensures independence by funding its ambitious projects, including Starship, through the revenue generated by Starlink. 1245-100 AM The Trillion-Dollar Space Race: Musk (Hare) vs. Bezos (Tortoise).

Democrats are celebrating a collection of election wins across the country this week. Messaging around affordability and the cost of living scored big wins for the party in the Virginia and New Jersey governor's races, as well as mayoral races in several major cities. Will a successful off year help the party smooth over its internal disagreements heading into next year's midterms?California passed Proposition 50, a proverbial counter punch to redistricting efforts in Texas and other red states. The state's governor, Gavin Newsom, says the legislation is a temporary fix to the campaign by President Donald Trump to create more congressional seats for conservatives. Democrats promise to be the “adults in the room,” but can they deliver?Can voters really exert their power if the two major parties control the candidates they have to choose from? KCRW discusses one potential solution to the political Coke vs. Pepsi problem.
After a big win, James and Al explain why the Democrats outperformed in the off-season elections, focusing on the declining affordability of life under Trump, his anti-democratic actions, and the desire for change in the electorate. Then, they look at the implications for the upcoming national elections, the growing headwinds to MAGA and Republican rule, and the potential to increase the share of the Hispanic vote. They also examine the impact of statewide court decisions, the effects of redistricting following California's Proposition 50, and the state of international relations, with a focus on Israel.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. It's Election Day! A high-energy Election Day edition packed with breaking political analysis and cultural commentary. Clay celebrates the release of his new book “Balls”, urging listeners to support conservative voices in publishing. The hour dives deep into the New York City mayoral race, spotlighting the shocking Donald Trump endorsement of Andrew Cuomo as a strategic move to block socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani. Clay and Buck debate whether this last-minute endorsement helps or hurts Cuomo, referencing insights from Stephen Miller and Van Jones, and warning that a split in the anti-Mamdani vote could hand victory to the far-left. The hosts analyze key battlegrounds in Virginia and New Jersey, stressing the importance of down-ballot races like Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor. They predict razor-thin margins and urge listeners nationwide to get out and vote. Discussion turns to Mamdani’s progressive promises—rent freezes, free buses, and government grocery stores—which Cuomo calls “TikTok promises” with no legal basis. Clay and Buck argue these policies would worsen crime and quality of life, drawing parallels to failed corporate virtue-signaling like Starbucks’ bathroom policy and Bud Light’s marketing missteps. Get Some Balls! Clay promotes his new book “Balls”, endorsed by President Trump, and shares plans for charitable initiatives tied to free speech advocacy. Clay and Buck analyze the high-stakes contests in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City, emphasizing how Democrats will frame victories as a referendum on Donald Trump’s presidency, despite these being deep-blue strongholds. The hosts spotlight the New Jersey governor’s race, where Jack Ciattarelli’s chances hinge on massive Republican turnout to overcome Democrats’ early voting lead. They slam progressive policies like plastic bag bans, arguing they harm consumers and the environment, and highlight housing affordability crises caused by government mandates and rent control schemes. Our Data Guru Crunches the Early Numbers Data analyst Ryan Girdusky joins to break down record-breaking voter turnout, surging Democratic numbers in key counties, and the implications for future elections. The discussion expands to electricity price spikes, the impact of data centers, and Democrats’ strategy to nationalize local races around Trump. In New York City, the conversation centers on the mayoral showdown featuring Zohran Mamdani, whose socialist platform promises rent freezes, free buses, and government grocery stores—policies Clay and Buck call “fairy tales” that would worsen crime and quality of life. They dissect Andrew Cuomo’s failure to give Republicans a reason to support him, despite Trump’s last-minute endorsement, and warn that a Mamdani victory could embolden far-left figures like AOC to push national socialism. The hour also covers Virginia’s gubernatorial race, where Winsome Sears struggles after running a single-issue campaign on transgender bathrooms, while down-ballot races for Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor remain competitive. Gonna Be Gavin and The Empire Strikes Back The hosts revisit the stakes in New York City’s mayoral race, the Virginia and New Jersey governor contests, and California’s Proposition 50, warning that Democrats will frame any wins as a repudiation of Donald Trump’s presidency despite these being deep-blue strongholds. Clay and Buck emphasize the importance of voting and highlight how Democrats use emotional manipulation—rather than real solutions—to distract from failures on crime, cost of living, and governance.

Alex talks about the hottest issue leading up to next week's election….the 2026 election. California's Proposition 50 is a power play by Governor Newsom and Democrats to fight back against Republican gerrymandering in Texas, in the hopes of saving Democratic seats in Congress in the midterm elections. Now a firestorm has ignited with states across the country launching redistricting efforts, and both parties have come to play. First, Alex hears about grassroots efforts to tackle the issue from Richard von Glahn, the Executive Director of People Not Politicians in Missouri. Then she speaks to democratic strategist David Plouffe about the moral quandary Democrats find themselves in, and why our hyper partisan political environment necessitates a gloves-off approach.

A Virginia judge allowed the state's Democrats to pursue a redistricting plan on Wednesday that would permit them to amend the state's constitution and redraw its congressional districts before next year's midterm elections – despite a lawsuit from Virginia Republicans. Those Democrats are following a national trend, kicked off by President Trump. Back in August, Trump called on Texas to redraw its congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms in order to minimize Republican losses in the House. And after Texas redrew its maps, California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom responded by putting forward a plan to redistrict his state through a ballot measure, Proposition 50, that would redraw California's congressional districts and push five Republicans out of their seats. Californians will be voting on the proposition on Election Day next week. To explain the fight and how the 2026 Midterms became a battle royale, I spoke with John Bisognano. He's the President of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.And in headlines, Congress continues to prove pointless as funding for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are set to expire for millions of Americans, the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates again, and immigration officials deport a man living in Alabama to Laos despite literally being ordered not to.Show Notes:Check out the National Democratic Redistricting Committee – democraticredistricting.com/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
