President Trump took to Truth Social to address growing calls from his own supporters urging his administration to release the full list of individuals connected to Jeffrey Epstein. In his post, Trump appeared to push back against the pressure, suggesting that the focus should remain on broader government transparency and accountability rather than what he implied was a politically motivated distraction. The president's remarks sparked debate online, with some supporters expressing disappointment, while others defended his stance as strategic or legally prudent. Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Links:https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODDhttps://mystore.com/toddhttps://soltea.com - Promo Code TODD for $29.95 off your first orderRed, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.

This week, a court ruling overturned the 1954 Johnson Amendment which prohibited nonprofits from endorsing or opposing candidates if they want to remain tax-exempt. Dr. Jonny sees this as a major win for podcasts like Pushback, for free speech, and for the body of Christ in America! However, It is only a huge win if we utilize the pulpit, our influence, our love, our courage and the spiritual insight given to His ministers!

The Department of Veterans Affairs' acting chief information officer doubled down on the agency's reshaping of its IT workforce, telling lawmakers in a Monday hearing that change is “challenging” but “necessary.” Eddie Pool told members of the House VA's subcommittee on technology modernization that the agency's Office of Information and Technology (OIT) is pushing forward with workforce reductions as the division increasingly turns to automation and other technology modernization efforts. “This reorganization, reallocation of positions, is designed to cut bureaucratic overhead, accelerate decision making and focus every OIT position on delivering secure, reliable and modern IT solutions to improve veterans' lives,” Pool said in opening remarks at the hearing. Subcommittee Chair Tom Barrett, R-Mich., lauded the VA OIT's “smarter, not bigger” strategy in its fiscal 2026 budget request, asking Pool if technology improvements can alleviate the need for manual, human processes. “Absolutely,” Pool responded. “It is about automating what we can automate.” In its fiscal 2026 budget, the VA OIT requested funding to support approximately 7,000 full-time equivalent employees, marking an 11.7% decrease from its fiscal 2025 budget request, according to Carol Harris, the director of information technology and cybersecurity for the Government Accountability Office. Former White House national security adviser Mike Waltz brushed aside criticisms Tuesday that he put sensitive military operations at risk by holding discussions about military strikes in a Signal group chat, claiming the app's use was authorized by the federal government's top civilian cyber agency. In a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Waltz — who has been nominated to represent the U.S. at the United Nations — was pressed about his short tenure as President Donald Trump's top national security official. In particular, he was grilled by Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., for his use of the end-to-end encrypted messaging application Signal to coordinate with other officials over airstrikes on Houthi rebels.While much of the initial attention was focused on Waltz adding journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat, national security experts were also aghast by government officials at the highest levels coordinating highly sensitive military operations using a free application. The incident is widely viewed as contributing to Waltz's departure just months after leaving Congress to take the role, and his subsequent shuffling to a new nomination at the U.N. “The use of Signal is not only … authorized; it was recommended in the Biden-era CISA guidance,” he said. Waltz was referencing a piece of 2024 guidance put out by CISA on mobile security. He later read from a portion of the guidance, which recommended using “only end-to-end encrypted communication” and to “adopt a free messaging application to secure communications that guarantees end to end encryption, particularly if you are a highly targeted individual, such as Signal or other apps.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

In this episode, ACTA President Michael Poliakoff discusses solutions to our nation's civic education crisis with distinguished jurist Douglas Ginsburg and his wife, Dorothy “Deecy” Gray.

In what amounts to a small revolution in the Church of Latter-Day Saints, Mormon women are now permitted to reveal their shoulders, having been taught that bare upper arms were too raunchy. These changes come with the growing power of Mormon influencers on social media -- known loosely as “#momtok” – and a popular TV show, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The reality show on Hulu follows eight influencers in Utah. JESSICA GROSE from The New York Times has been immersed in the show.

Last week, over 100 agents from nine federal agencies stormed a bucolic public park in Los Angeles, claiming it was a hotbed of terrorism and lawlessness. In fact, heavily armed soldiers in camouflage found a group of young children attending a summer camp. This was a show of force meant to intimidate, shock, and awe, but just like Trump's military parade in Washington, DC, it ended up pathetic and farcical. Today we are fortunate to speak with journalist Mel Buer, who was at MacArthur Park and witnessed this sad spectacle. We talk about what she saw  and how is simply part of a recent history of attacks on mostly brown people. We get Mel's thoughts on both the broader national context, and how local people and longstanding immigrant's rights groups are resisting and fighting back.Mel Buer is an LA-based independent journalist covering labor, social movements, and community organizing. 

Marc & Kim bring the heat this hour, starting with Trump's powerful remarks on divine protection following the Butler rally shooting—an emotional reflection on patriotism and providence. The team slams the mainstream media's disgraceful headlines downplaying the attempted assassination, reading CNN, MSNBC, and WaPo coverage that ignored clear gunfire and Trump's injury. In "Kim on a Whim," Kim dives into Lake St. Louis PD's new safety sticker program—meant to help officers respond to special needs calls—but questions its real-world usefulness while pushing back on years of anti-police sentiment stoked by Democrats. Later, Marc unleashes on Debbie Wasserman Schultz and AOC for recycling tired lies about "cages" and detention facilities—built under Obama—as if Biden's disastrous border isn't worse. A California professor's meltdown over ICE arrests gets roasted, with Marc and Kim torching leftist academia's delusion that federal agents enforcing immigration law are “kidnapping” people. The show ends with praise for Tom Homan, who challenges a protester to “settle it” after being heckled, showing the grit our law enforcement desperately needs.

President Trump's 'Big, Beautiful, Bill' became law last week, solidifying his package of tax cuts and spending policies. Now, Senate Republicans are considering a $9.4 billion rescissions package to allow Congress to cut back on previously allocated funds. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram breaks down what's included in the rescissions package and where it stands ahead of its July 18th deadline. Later, he discusses Dr. Kevin O'Connor's testimony about President Biden's mental fitness, and the Butler, PA attempted assassination of President Trump one year later. This week, President Trump signed an Executive Order that extended a key tariff deadline and sent letters to various countries informing them of new reciprocal tariff rates. Although the new August 1st deadline allows for more time for the U.S. to form deals with trading partners, it also sparks uncertainty and concern among small businesses across the country. Executive Vice President, Chief Police Officer, and Head of Strategic Advocacy for the U.S. Chaber of Commerce Neil Bradley discusses how the Chamber is addressing the tariffs and how they're advocating for small businesses.

In the United States, state legislatures are key players in shaping artificial intelligence policy, as lawmakers attempt to navigate a thicket of politics surrounding complex issues ranging from AI safety, deepfakes, and algorithmic discrimination to workplace automation and government use of AI. The decision by the US Senate to exclude a moratorium on the enforcement of state AI laws from the budget reconciliation package passed by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump over the July 4 weekend leaves the door open for more significant state-level AI policymaking.To take stock of where things stand on state AI policymaking, Tech Policy Press associate editor Cristiano Lima-Strong spoke to two experts:Scott Babwah Brennen, director of NYU's Center on Technology Policy, and Hayley Tsukayama, associate director of legislative activism at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

Key Topics Covered The Quality vs. Accessibility Debate Pro Church Tools' Position: High-quality livestreams require dedicated mixing boards and professional expertise that most churches lack Matt & Jake's Pushback: 85-95% quality is achievable with proper fundamentals and doesn't require professional-level resources The Real Issue: Sometimes poor livestream quality stems from poor source material (musicianship, room acoustics) The Hard Truth About Audio Quality Matt's Honest Take: "Your livestream mix is not good because your musicians are not good" The Growth Mindset: Every great musician started as a not-so-great musician Foundation First: Master musicianship, room acoustics, and basic mixing before investing in expensive gear Who's Actually Watching Your Stream? Key Statistic: 35% of online church attenders are retirement age (12 points above average) Implications for Ministry: Need to consider accessibility, content relevance, and viewing habits Snowbird Effect: Many older viewers are traveling members staying connected to home church The Purpose Question What are we streaming for? Marketing tool for church visitors Connection for homebound members Seasonal/traveling member engagement Accessibility for those who can't attend in person Production Philosophy Start with fundamentals: Musicianship, room acoustics, basic mixing skills, proper lighting Avoid the gear trap: Don't buy expensive equipment without mastering the basics Quality target: Aim for "good enough" that serves your actual audience, not "perfect" that impresses other tech people Notable Quotes Jake: "You can compress a jackhammer, but it's still going to sound like a jackhammer." Matt: "If you're the sound guy trying to get an online mix that sounds good from a band that doesn't sound good in house, then good luck." Jake: "There's something magical that happens when you're in person in the room at worship every Sunday." Matt: "The top four pages on church websites are always: homepage, about us, staff, and livestream." Action Items for Churches Audit your fundamentals before investing in new gear Understand your actual livestream audience (hint: it might be older than you think) Optimize for accessibility - text size, audio levels, clear announcements Invest in musical training for your team Remember the goal: Complement, don't compete with, in-person worship Tools & Resources Mentioned Waves Real Tune plugin for pitch correction Importance of proper room acoustics Front-of-house mixing consoles for dual-purpose mixing Website analytics for understanding visitor behavior Discussion Questions Who is your church's livestream actually serving? Are you starting with the right foundational skills? How do you balance quality aspirations with realistic resource constraints? What role should livestreaming play in your overall ministry strategy? Related Topics for Future Episodes Room acoustics basics for churches Building a volunteer tech team Church website optimization Generational differences in worship preferences Cost-effective lighting solutions for churches This episode was a reaction to Pro Church Tools' video about online church. While we respectfully disagree on some technical points, we appreciate Brady and Alex for raising these important strategic questions about church technology.

Today we're going to look at something every builder, creator, or doer runs into. Pushback from all directions: friends, family, customers, even total strangers. Sometimes it's subtle. Sometimes it's loud. And a lot of the time it comes from people who genuinely care about you but have no clue what you're really working on. Add in pressure from the market or audience, and it gets messy fast. It can be hard to tell what's worth listening to and what needs to be ignored completely. Friction isn't always bad. Sometimes it exposes weak spots you should tighten up. But a lot … Continue reading →

In this fiery broadcast, the hosts celebrate what they call the most decisive two weeks of Trump's presidency. They detail how a landmark Supreme Court ruling struck down nationwide injunctions from activist judges, restoring the executive branch's ability to enforce immigration policy without interference from rogue courts. The episode underscores Trump's string of wins—from record-high stock markets, Middle East ceasefires, and low gas prices, to halting Canada's digital services tax aimed at American tech companies. With vivid commentary on European speech crackdowns and the Democrats' alleged tolerance for censorship, the discussion highlights what the hosts see as a critical turning point: reasserting U.S. power abroad and presidential authority at home.

In 2024, key legal and regulatory shifts transformed the ESG landscape across the U.S., Canada, U.K., and EU. In the U.S., the SEC adopted—and later stopped defending—climate disclosure rules, while the Department of Labor's ESG rule faced litigation and Congress advanced anti-ESG bills. At the same time, the EPA began deploying $27 billion under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, and youth-led climate lawsuits saw major wins. California's climate reporting laws (SB 253, SB 261, AB 1305) faced challenges but remained in effect, and greenwashing litigation expanded to cover broad corporate ESG claims. Internationally, the U.K. introduced mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain rules, the EU implemented the CSRD and CSDDD, and Canada passed a new Modern Slavery Act. Together, these changes mark a global move toward greater corporate transparency and environmental accountability. Join Josh Galperin, professor at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law, in conversation with Lauren Lynam and Morgan Martin as they unpack the year's most significant ESG legal developments across the U.S. and beyond.

Today, we sit down with Naomi Epps Best, a graduate student at Santa Clara University studying family and marriage counseling, who recently exposed the shocking curriculum in her required human sexuality course. Naomi shares her disturbing experience of being required to engage with erotica, pornographic content, and a sexual autobiography assignment. She reveals how her Christian faith led her to challenge this ideological capture in therapy education, culminating in a Wall Street Journal op-ed where she blew the whistle on her program. Then, she got fired. We discuss the university's response, the crisis in the mental health profession, and why critical thinkers are being pushed out. Naomi also shares her journey and her efforts to hold the psychological field accountable while pursuing her calling to help others.
