Podcast appearances and mentions of Rand Paul

Israel bombed a Hamas political meeting in Doha, Qatar—hosted in a U.S.-allied nation with a major American military base—while leaders were gathered to discuss a Trump-proposed ceasefire. The attack killed several people, including the son of a Hamas leader and a Qatari officer, and drew condemnation from Qatar for violating sovereignty and international law.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that this shows how Israel and the U.S. intentionally sabotage peace efforts while blaming Hamas, framing it as part of the “Greater Israel Project” and a pattern of destabilizing the Middle East. International reactions included sharp criticism from China and others, saying the strike proves Israel disregards global norms while still insisting on depicting itself as a victim. Also featuring segments on Rand Paul taking on JD Vance over the U.S. Military bombing of an alleged Venezuelan “drug boat” and President Trump's escalation of threats that now include the possibility of bombing inside Venezuela. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince dive into a heavy week of vaccine revelations, starting with Senate hearings led by Ron Johnson that spotlight a suppressed study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children, showing staggering differences in chronic illness and autism rates. They break down Trump's explosive Truth Social post on thimerosal, its ties to autism research, and RFK Jr.'s push to overhaul vaccine policy, including his clashes with entrenched CDC officials. From Fauci's deleted emails and Rand Paul's relentless pursuit of accountability, to Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo's fiery defense of medical freedom, the hosts highlight the growing cracks in Big Pharma's narrative. Along the way, they explore toxins, nutrition, and grassroots food reform as key to reversing degenerative disease, while exposing media spin and establishment panic. A fast-moving episode that blends politics, health, and the fight for sovereignty over our bodies.

Senator Rand Paul exposes Anthony Fauci for urging staff to delete emails—breaking federal law—and one shocking message reveals Fauci knew lockdowns made no difference between states like New York and Florida. While businesses collapsed and dissenting voices were censored, Fauci quietly admitted the “science” was meaningless. We break down the email, the fallout of destroyed livelihoods, and what this means for trusting “experts” going forward. Plus, updates on the assassination of Charlie Kirk and why investigators suggest it looks like a professional hit with possible foreign ties.

We debate the rise of political violence, a broken justice system, and whether we can come back from the brink.Welcome to the Alfalfa Podcast

(Rebroadcast of ep. 77)In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we tackle the provocative question: Is it always the government's fault? While government intervention often makes existing problems worse, the truth is more complicated. Sometimes, the public itself resists needed reforms or rejects practical solutions—even when they could make life better.We dig into how policies and cultural attitudes interact, touching on examples such as Rand Paul's political positions, YouTube's role in public discourse, and the heated debates over masking requirements. This candid conversation blends psychology, politics, and libertarian principles, challenging listeners to question not only government overreach but also our own responsibility in shaping society.Whether you're a libertarian thinker, political skeptic, or just curious about the intersection of psychology and government policy, this episode offers thought-provoking insights you won't want to miss.Follow Us:YouTubeTwitterFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

Welcome Chris Cuomo to the year 2025, where he realizes what we've known for years: he is wrong. In a video recorded in his car, Cuomo admitted that he has been wrong before. Well, not specifically. But, generally. And you're wrong, too. Enjoy the word salad. JD Vance is dropping literal bombs on terrorists and figurative bombs on Leftist influencers.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover immigration raids from Boston to Savannah, the latest jobs report and economic culprits, Venezuela's narco-terror fight, China's alignment with Russia, Zelenskyy's swipe at Trump, and a Pentagon name change with global implications. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America's future.   Immigration Crackdowns: Operation Patriot 2.0 launched in Massachusetts targeting violent criminals shielded by sanctuary laws. Trump teased Chicago raids with an “Apocalypse Now” meme, while a Savannah raid at Hyundai's mega-factory nabbed 475 illegals — the largest single-site operation in DHS history.   Jobs Report Disappoints: Only 22,000 jobs were added in August, with revisions showing losses in June. Native-born employment is rising as 820,000 foreign workers have left, but debate rages over whether the culprits are Jerome Powell's high rates, Trump's tariff wars, Silicon Valley's AI revolution, or Biden's weak foundation.   Venezuela Narco-Terror Strike Debate: Trump sank a Tren de Aragua drug boat, killing 11. Democrats and Sen. Rand Paul demand Coast Guard arrests, while Trump's War Secretary Pete Hegseth insists, “A drug cartel is no different than al Qaeda.”   China, Russia, and India Align: Trump blasted, “Looks like we've lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest China.” Reuters revealed Beijing firms sold $50 million in drone parts and military supplies to Moscow, tightening the Xi-Putin alliance.   Zelenskyy Criticizes Trump Over Alaska Summit: The Ukrainian president told ABC it was “a pity” Trump gave Putin legitimacy. Yet he admitted, “President Trump is right about the Europeans,” as EU nations import record Russian gas despite sanctions.   Department of Defense Renamed: The White House rebrands it the Department of War, reflecting a more aggressive posture from Venezuela to Ukraine and the Pacific.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Operation Patriot 2.0 Massachusetts immigration raids, Trump Chicago Apocalypse Now meme, Savannah Hyundai raid 475 illegals, U.S. jobs report August 2025, Jerome Powell Fed rates, Trump tariffs exemptions metals, AI layoffs Salesforce, Biden weak jobs foundation, Trump Venezuela narco-terror strike, Pete Hegseth drug cartels al Qaeda, Xi Jinping Putin military alliance, China drone parts Russia, Zelenskyy Alaska summit criticism, EU Russian gas imports, Department of War rebrand Pentagon

Today's Headlines: The weekend brought another Trump classic: a meme threatening to send the military into Chicago, complete with an Apocalypse Now reference and the caption “Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of War.” Thousands protested in both Chicago and DC, while the new “Department of War” is now rebranding everything from uniforms to its website to fit the new name—on the taxpayer dime. In other news, RFK Jr., still smoldering from his Senate tantrum, is reportedly preparing a report linking autism to Tylenol use during pregnancy, a claim debunked by every credible medical body. His own family called for him to resign, former Surgeon General Jerome Adams said Trump should fire him, and even Trump broke with him to say vaccines “just work.” Meanwhile, VP JD Vance sparked a GOP mini-drama after bragging about a deadly US strike in the Caribbean; when a journalist called it a war crime, his response prompted Rand Paul to comment “despicable.” The DOJ opened a criminal probe into Fed governor Lisa Cook, who's already suing the administration over Trump's attempt to oust her—setting up a major fight over Fed independence. At the same time, a dozen federal judges voiced frustration with the Supreme Court for overturning lower court rulings with little explanation.  On the economy, August jobs numbers were rough, with just 22,000 added and unemployment climbing to 4.3%. And finally, Paramount is in talks to acquire Bari Weiss's Free Press for up to $200M, possibly putting her in charge of CBS News. She just hosted Justice Amy Coney Barrett at Lincoln Center, where ACB insisted the Constitution is “alive and well” and that the US is not in a constitutional crisis… though if you have to say it, maybe that's its own answer.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITHave you ever noticed how the simplest family moments can fill your heart with unexpected joy? That warm feeling when your grown children enthusiastically say "we'll be there" without hesitation creates a sense of connection that's irreplaceable. This weekend brought exactly those precious moments - time with Grand Cam on Saturday followed by a full family gathering on Sunday that sparked reflection on what truly matters.Beyond personal reflections, several compelling news stories deserve attention despite minimal mainstream coverage. A tragic incident involving the fatal stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee woman raises serious questions about media priorities and reporting patterns. Meanwhile, a surprising political clash erupted between Senator Rand Paul and Vice President JD Vance regarding military action against a Venezuelan boat allegedly involved in drug trafficking - highlighting fundamental differences in perspective about appropriate use of force and constitutional principles even within the same political party.Two extraordinary international stories round out our discussion. First, the shocking conclusion to a four-year saga in New Zealand where a father kept his three young children hidden in remote wilderness after kidnapping them from their mother. The situation ended dramatically with the father's death during a police confrontation and the children's rescue. Finally, we explore the remarkable heroism of a dog in Peru who saved its owner's family by extinguishing a stick of dynamite thrown into their yard - sacrificing its ability to bark normally but preventing a potentially devastating explosion.

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, the conversation turns to the political battles shaping 2025. From the issues Democrats should lean into—and the ones they should avoid—to Trump's trolling of Chicago and his administration's push for a showdown over crime and “terrorism,” the stakes are high. Chuck dives into how the White House is setting the stage for possible military action against cartels and even Venezuela, with flimsy constitutional justifications that have sparked pushback from voices like Rand Paul. Meanwhile, Democrats face their own identity struggles, from the risks of being tied to “socialism” with Latino voters to Bernie Sanders' refusal to formally join the party. Plus, a look ahead to the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, where three strong contenders could reshape the party's futureThen, physician-turned-politician Abdul El-Sayed joins Chuck to discuss why he left medicine for the rough-and-tumble of politics. From the challenges of running for office with a foreign name to centering his campaign on improving life for children, El-Sayed argues that healthcare isn't just about access—it's about fairness. He pulls back the curtain on a system where insurers and hospital CEOs collude to inflate prices, pharmaceutical companies raise costs simply because they can, and Americans are tricked into thinking “choice” in healthcare actually benefits them.The conversation doesn't stop at healthcare—it spans the crisis of trust in public health, the lessons El-Sayed learned from his 2018 gubernatorial run, and the corrosive role of money in politics. He weighs in on Gretchen Whitmer's record, Trump's overreach beyond Article II, and what sets him apart in Michigan's Senate race. And in a moment of global reflection, El-Sayed takes on the politics of genocide—from Israel and Gaza to China's treatment of the Uighurs—arguing that calling atrocities by their name is a test of values, even when nuance is hard to find in today's polarized climate.Finally, Chuck gives a history lesson on Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon and its impact on modern politics, recaps the weekend in college football, and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction04:00 The issues Democrats should run on, and issues they should avoid05:15 Trump's trolling of Chicago got the reaction he wanted06:30 The administration wants a showdown over Chicago08:30 The administration's aggressive application of the term “terrorism”10:15 The Democratic base wants fight, government shutdown likely12:15 Trump administration setting the stage for war with Venezuela13:30 Administration needs to justify designating cartels terrorists16:45 Trump's justification to congress for military action against cartels 19:00 Trump's justification was lacking, and didn't mention Venezuela 20:15 Trump ignoring the constitution in rationalizing action against cartels 21:45 Vance says fighting cartels is best use of military 23:15 JD gets into back and forth with Rand Paul on X 24:45 Venezuela story should be consuming Washington 26:15 Rand Paul has been willing to be combative with administration 29:00 The progressive left won't succeed if they're associated with socialism 30:45 "Socialism" isn't rebrandable with Latino voters 31:45 Bernie Sanders still hasn't joined the Democratic party 33:15 Michigan Democratic senate primary has 3 great candidates33:45 Abdul El-Sayed joins the Chuck ToddCast 35:30 What made you choose politics when your background is medicine? 37:15 The challenge of running for office with a foreign name 38:15 Centering politics around improving the world for children 39:15 Disparities in access to health care based on money and connections 40:45 Health insurance is getting worse despite rising cost 42:00 Insurers and hospital CEOs collude to raise prices 44:00 What should be the cost expectation for pharmaceuticals? 45:30 Pharma companies raise prices because they can 46:30 RFK Jr. shouldn't be anywhere near healthcare 47:30 The impact of the internet on public health 49:30 The crisis Kennedy is creating at HHS and CDC 50:15 How can we restore trust in public health authorities? 52:30 MAHA's appeal is the idea you can control your health future 53:45 Parallels between public health and education 55:30 Health relies on both the individual and public health 56:30 Healthcare industry has tricked the public using concept of "choice" 58:15 Would you keep a semi-privatized system under medicare for all? 1:00:45 Health networks curtail choice and raise prices 1:02:15 What did you learn from your 2018 run for governor? 1:04:45 The disease of our political system is money buying politicians and policy 1:06:00 Trump spoke to economic pain and was able to reach voters 1:07:30 Assessment of Gretchen Whitmer's governorship 1:09:30 Whitmer tried to work with Trump at times, will you? 1:11:30 Trump is exercising far more power than Article 2 permits 1:13:15 Differences between you and your opponents for MI senate? 1:14:00 Taking corporate money is a major philosophical difference 1:16:30 Reforming public health will require healthcare pros in D.C. 1:18:15 The trend of public health officials running for office 1:20:30 How much will Israel/Gaza factor into the election? 1:21:45 Calling something a genocide when you see it is a values test 1:23:00 Was Israel justified in going after Hamas?

Chuck dives into how the White House is setting the stage for possible military action against cartels and even Venezuela, with flimsy constitutional justifications that have sparked pushback from voices like Rand Paul. Finally, Chuck gives a history lesson on Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon and its impact on modern politics, recaps the weekend in college football, and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 The issues Democrats should run on, and issues they should avoid 01:15 Trump's trolling of Chicago got the reaction he wanted 02:30 The administration wants a showdown over Chicago 04:30 The administration's aggressive application of the term "terrorism" 06:15 The Democratic base wants fight, government shutdown likely 08:15 Trump administration setting the stage for war with Venezuela 09:30 Administration needs to justify designating cartels terrorists 12:45 Trump's justification to congress for military action against cartels 15:00 Trump's justification was lacking, and didn't mention Venezuela 16:15 Trump ignoring the constitution in rationalizing action against cartels 17:45 Vance says fighting cartels is best use of military 19:15 JD gets into back and forth with Rand Paul on X 20:45 Venezuela story should be consuming Washington 22:15 Rand Paul has been willing to be combative with administration 25:15 Chuck's thoughts on interview with Abdul El-Sayed 26:45 This week in history - Chuck's history lesson 27:45 Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon on September 8th, 1974 29:30 The case for pardoning Nixon 31:45 The case against pardoning Nixon 34:30 Ford's decision implied the country couldn't handle a trial 35:45 A majority of the country thought the pardon was wrong 37:30 Nixon never got his due process 38:45 Pardon was a stain on presidential decision making 39:15 College football update 43:15 Ask Chuck 43:45 Why Putin won't grant Trump a ceasefire 46:45 Why do Epstein victims face dehumanization when Trump doesn't? 50:30 Thoughts on the political salience of this season of South Park?

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a dramatic fight over the Federal Reserve, Trump's controversial stake in Intel, his call to double Chinese students in U.S. universities, a Milwaukee judge caught aiding an illegal immigrant, and new research linking everyday health risks to antibiotics, smoking, and infant gut health. From courtroom drama to corporate socialism to medical breakthroughs, today's brief delivers facts that will impact your wallet, your security, and your health. Trump Fires Fed Governor Lisa Cook: President Trump moves to remove Lisa Cook over alleged mortgage fraud, but she refuses to leave and files a lawsuit, insisting, “I have no intention of being bullied to step down.” A resurfaced video shows her calling Trump a fascist and warning of “the road to genocide,” fueling claims she's part of the Resistance inside the Fed. The showdown could head to the Supreme Court to decide whether presidents can fire Fed governors — raising questions about the very future of the Federal Reserve. Trump Buys 10% Stake in Intel: The White House converts $10 billion in chip subsidies into equity, making the U.S. government Intel's largest shareholder. Rand Paul warns this is “a step toward socialism,” while Trump's team calls it a sovereign wealth fund strategy. Critics argue the move won't fix Intel's technical failures, while Bryan cautions, “I don't want that beast to have more power or money or both… I want it to have less.” Trump Calls for 600,000 Chinese Students in U.S. Universities: The president shocks supporters by suggesting more than doubling student visas for China, insisting, “I told President Xi that we're honored to have his students here.” Critics cite espionage risks, noting past cases where Chinese students at the University of Michigan spied on military bases or smuggled bioweapons. Bryan warns, “You don't have to be a former CIA ops officer to see that 600,000 more of these people is not smart policy.” Milwaukee Judge Faces Prison for Aiding Illegal: Judge Hannah Dugan helped an illegal immigrant escape her courtroom to avoid ICE arrest. A federal judge rejected her claim of immunity, ruling, “No one is above the law, even when you're a judge.” She faces up to six years in prison. Meanwhile, Trump fires San Francisco immigration judges granting asylum in 95 percent of cases, ensuring that “it is the law… not personal feelings or politics… that rule the day.” Medical News You Need to Know: Australian researchers find that mixing antibiotics with painkillers like Advil or Tylenol speeds bacterial mutations, fueling antibiotic resistance. Japanese scientists discover how smoking alters gut bacteria to ease colitis symptoms, pointing to new therapies without cigarettes. And a California study shows C-section babies lack critical gut bacteria, raising risks of allergies and asthma. Bryan concludes, “Those bellies matter — starting with mom — and from the very first minutes of our life.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Lisa Cook Fed firing, Lisa Cook mortgage fraud lawsuit, Trump Federal Reserve Supreme Court, Intel government stake 10 percent, Rand Paul Intel socialism warning, Trump Chinese students visas 600000, Chinese espionage University of Michigan, Milwaukee judge Hannah Dugan illegal immigrant case, Trump fires San Francisco immigration judges, antibiotics painkillers resistance study, smoking colitis gut bacteria, infant gut health C-section allergies asthma

In this very special episode of The Mel K Show, I am joined once again by one of my favorite truth tellers and thinkers, Patrick Byrne. Known to many as the brilliant mind behind Overstock.com and to others as a man who has risked everything to expose corruption at the highest levels, Patrick always brings a unique perspective that cuts through the noise. We begin with Patrick's reflections on his journey to supporting Donald Trump. A man who once backed Ron and Rand Paul, Patrick did not vote for Trump in the earlier elections. But through firsthand encounters and deep discussions, he came to see the 45th president in a completely new light. Patrick shares stories from his personal meetings with Trump, where he was struck by his attentiveness, quick thinking, and ability to absorb complex information at lightning speed. Far from the caricature created by media, Trump impressed Patrick as a great listener, someone capable of serious analysis and genuine leadership. Patrick also brings his experience in geopolitics to the table. Raised under the mentorship of General Jack Vesey, a legendary figure who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs under Ronald Reagan, Patrick learned early on how to analyze the world stage with clarity. He explains how today's media elites show little understanding of diplomacy, preferring to sneer at leaders like Trump and Putin instead of recognizing the potential for dialogue to defuse conflict. We discuss the media's hostile reaction to Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin and what that reaction reveals about the entrenched establishment. Rather than celebrating diplomacy, many in media seemed to actively root for failure, exposing how deeply their hatred for Trump outweighs their commitment to America's success. Patrick argues that this attitude is not only shortsighted but dangerous, as it undermines the possibility of genuine peace and progress. From there, our conversation moves into the broader forces at play behind the scenes. Patrick speaks candidly about the entrenched networks of power that manipulate global events, from financial institutions to intelligence operations. He reminds us that these are not theoretical issues. They affect every American, every day, through economic policy, censorship, and the erosion of constitutional protections. Here is what you will learn in this episode: How Patrick Byrne went from skeptic to supporter of Donald Trump Why personal interactions with Trump reveal a very different leader than portrayed by media The significance of Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin and why it mattered How Patrick's mentorship under General Jack Vesey shaped his worldview Why media elites root for failure instead of progress, and what that reveals about their priorities This is not just a conversation about politics. It is about truth, perception, and the importance of cutting through the fog created by those who profit from division. Patrick Byrne's courage and intellect make him one of the most valuable voices in this movement, and his perspective is one that every American should hear. If you want to understand what is really happening behind the headlines, this is an episode you cannot miss.

1. Senator Rand Paul's Criminal Referral of Dr. Anthony Fauci Context: Senator Paul has reissued a criminal referral to the DOJ against Dr. Fauci, citing perjury related to his 2021 Senate testimony on gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Controversy: The referral is tied to President Biden’s use of an autopen to sign pardons, including one for Fauci. If the autopen-signed pardons are ruled invalid, Fauci could face prosecution. Allegations: Fauci allegedly misled Congress about NIH funding for gain-of-function research. Political Angle: The Trump administration is portrayed as cooperative in pursuing the investigation, while the Biden administration is accused of obstruction. 2. Supreme Court Ruling on the Department of Education Issue: The Trump administration’s plan to shut down the Department of Education and return control to the states. Ruling: The Supreme Court (6-3 decision) lifted an injunction, allowing layoffs of over 1,300 employees and enabling the department’s closure to proceed. Reactions: Supporters: Frame it as a win for parents, students, and educational reform. Dissenters: Warn of executive overreach and erosion of separation of powers. Next Steps: Programs like special education and student loans are being transferred to other federal agencies. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

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 Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Senate Passes Big, Beautiful Bill In Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts deliver a dynamic and timely breakdown of the Senate’s passage of the “Big Beautiful Bill”, a sweeping legislative package poised to reshape the political and economic landscape. Passed by a narrow 51-50 margin with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, the bill now awaits President Donald Trump’s signature, expected by July 4th. This hour dives deep into the bill’s key provisions, including a $5 trillion debt ceiling increase, hundreds of billions allocated for border security and national defense, and a projected $3.3 trillion budget deficit increase through 2034. The hosts analyze the political drama surrounding the bill’s passage, highlighting opposition from Republican Senators Rand Paul, Tom Tillis, and Susan Collins, and the expected reconciliation process in the House. Lefty Language Games Analysis of the Senate’s passage of the “big, beautiful bill,” a major piece of legislation expected to stimulate economic growth, provide tax certainty, and enhance border security. The hosts emphasize the bill’s imperfections but argue its net benefits outweigh its flaws, especially in the context of a government that often lacks the political will to reduce spending. A significant portion of the hour is dedicated to the unsustainable trajectory of federal spending, with references to past efforts by figures like Ross Perot, Senator Ron Johnson, and Senator Rand Paul. The hosts critique both parties for failing to curb entitlement growth and highlight how slowing the rate of spending increases is misleadingly labeled as “cuts.” They also explore how artificial intelligence and productivity gains could potentially offset fiscal challenges, offering a rare optimistic note on economic innovation. The Art of the Possible The Big Beautiful Bill now heads back to the House, where the Freedom Caucus may voice opposition, but it’s expected to reach President Donald Trump’s desk for signature before the July 4th holiday. A major highlight of the hour is President Trump’s visit to “Alligator Alcatraz” in Ochopee, Florida, a remote airstrip facility intended for detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. Trump’s remarks emphasized deterrence, warning migrants against fleeing into the Everglades. The segment underscores the administration’s tough stance on immigration and sanctuary cities, with speculation that legal challenges may arise from cities defying federal deportation orders. Best Movie of the 21st Century? Clay and Buck debate the best movies of the 21st century, referencing a recent New York Times list. Films like The Dark Knight, There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, and The Pianist are discussed, with particular praise for Heath Ledger’s iconic performance as the Joker. The conversation also includes listener favorites and humorous disagreements over ice cream flavors—particularly pistachio—and nostalgic TV shows like Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.
