Authorities in Arizona said they detained a "subject" in connection to the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Hours later, a man who identified himself as Carlos said he was that person and that authorities searched his car and a van before releasing him. Police have not confirmed that Carlos was that subject.

In this unfiltered federal politics segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards breaks down recent comments from Mississippi's U.S. Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith and Roger Wicker on hot-button immigration issues. First, Clay plays and analyzes Hyde-Smith's video defending her vote against Rand Paul's amendment to defund the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement, explaining it's essential for caring for thousands of unaccompanied migrant children already in custody—some as young as three—per guidance from President Trump. She calls defunding inhumane without alternatives, emphasizing child welfare regardless of origin. Clay agrees Republicans must win the optics battle against "kids in cages" narratives, admitting he often disagrees with Hyde-Smith but backs her here on legal and moral grounds. Shifting to Wicker, Clay discusses his opposition to turning a Byhalia warehouse into a 10,000-person ICE detention center, arguing it was meant for job-creating economic development and would strain local infrastructure like medical services—despite his full support for enforcement. Initially skeptical, Clay concedes Wicker might be right after group chats highlight the burdens, suggesting alternatives like empty Jackson warehouses (e.g., Metro Center or Fondren spots) for ICE facilities to boost the capital's economy. Raw takes on incentives, accountability, and Mississippi's role in national debates—no sugar added.

Congress is "useless," the bureaucracy is built to be permanent, and the executive branch can only do so much, even when everyone is yelling "America First." In this episode, we break down why Trump can't simply delete agencies with a pen, why judges keep blocking funding throttles, and why Republicans keep signing and passing monster bills anyway. Key beats: Why "unitary executive" hits a wall when Congress created and funds the agency The USAID-style bloat example: US African Development Foundation, audits, fraud, and why it still survives The shutdown nobody noticed, the bill everyone signed, and why "later" always wins Voter ID polling vs the SAVE Act reality, plus why Real ID took forever If you're tired of the rhetoric and want to talk incentives, power, and what actually changes policy, this one's for you.

This is Episode 2 of the Abrahamic Starter Kit, where we lay out what Scripture actually calls the primary mission of men: marry, multiply, and fill the earth. We return to Genesis 1 and 1 Corinthians 7 to challenge the idea that marriage and children are optional, secondary, or a distraction from “real” ministry. They aren't. They are central to God's design. Whether you're single, married, or already a dad, this episode resets the vision for family, fruitfulness, and legacy. We talk practically about how marriage must function differently when dominion—not comfort—is the goal. If you're ready to stop drifting with culture and start building something that lasts for generations, this episode will rewire how you see your mission.

In this raw, must-watch conversation, former GOP Rep. Joe Walsh joins Matt Lewis to unpack the growing backlash against Trump's second term. They discuss: — The stunning Democratic upset in Texas Senate District 9 (a 31+ point swing from Trump's 2024 margin in a red stronghold) — Why shocking videos of masked ICE agents dragging people from streets/parking lots/Home Depot are turning public opinion (even among non-political Americans) — How tariffs and economic pain are eroding Trump's "secret sauce" Epstein files secrecy fueling distrust, GOP cracks (Massie, Rand Paul pushing back), and why images are more powerful than words in shifting opinion — Walsh's Warning: Trump may try to interfere with 2026 midterms – don't underestimate authoritarian moves — Plus lighter moments on Eagles fandom and calls for prayers over Savannah Guthrie's missing mom in Arizona Walsh (a former Trump voter turned fierce critic) and Lewis (original Never Trumper) argue Democrats could retake the House in a "blue tsunami" driven by Trump's overreach – but must build a real vision for 2028.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

As the killing of Minnesota resident Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents has sparked fresh outrage in the state and across the country, some lawmakers have pushed back on the Trump administration's explanation for DHS's aggressive tactics and called for an independent investigation. Correspondent Scott Pelley interviews Sen. Rand Paul, chairman of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee, who summoned top DHS immigration officials to testify later this month. Pelley also speaks with former Justice Department and DHS investigators about the state of the federal probe. Leading up to Artemis II – NASA's first human mission to the Moon in more than 50 years - correspondent Bill Whitaker reports from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on this critical step forward in American space exploration. Whitaker interviews the four astronauts who will embark on the 10-day mission, which could pave the way for a sustained presence on the Moon and lay the groundwork for future missions to Mars. If you think America's top laugh factories are only in New York, Chicago, and LA, think again. Reporting from Amsterdam, correspondent Jon Wertheim takes us inside Boom Chicago, an English-language improv theater founded in the early '90s by two American comics. What sounded like a punchline became a pipeline, launching future stars like Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele, Amber Ruffin, Brendan Hunt and Jason Sudeikis. At a moment when American comedy feels under siege, this beloved Dutch theater keeps proving that funny survives—and travels.

Today we break down the viral Alex Pretti protest clip, why it doesn't "change everything," and why accountability matters even when someone's acting reckless. Then we dig into the real deportation numbers, the incentives behind ICE stats, and Rand Paul's spicy compromise: work without citizenship (plus what we'd add to make it actually work).  

Howie Kurtz on the continuing fallout from fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis, the debate between Senator Rand Paul and Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding the legality of capturing the Venezuelan president, and the FBI raid on a Georgia election hub as part of an investigation into 2020 election fraud behavior.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck digs into the political fallout surrounding Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and a Trump White House that remains intensely reactive to public opinion. While Noem keeps her job—for now—new polling paints a bleak picture for both her and the administration, with Trump’s economic numbers underwater, disapproval near all-time highs, and even his own base increasingly uneasy with ICE’s aggressive tactics. Chuck unpacks why Noem’s performative politics may make her expendable, why Miller is untouchable as Trump’s “bizarro Dick Cheney,” and how Trump’s inner circle is once again showing signs of instability as voters question whether the president is focused on the issues that actually matter. The conversation then zooms out to a broader diagnosis of America’s democratic dysfunction, drawing on Chuck’s recent campus speech about why this moment feels uniquely unstable. From razor-thin modern elections and the collapse of congressional responsibility to unsettling parallels with 19th-century politics, Chuck argues that the presidency has become overly powerful because Congress has failed to govern. Fixing what’s broken, he warns, won’t come from political elites—it will require engaged citizens, serious institutional reform, and possibly constitutional amendments to rebuild a government voters have been loudly signaling they no longer trust. Then, author and writer for The New Yorker, Jason Zengerle joins the Chuck ToddCast for a deep dive into his book “Hated By All The Right People” about Tucker Carlson’s rise—and why he’s become the clearest avatar for the unraveling of modern American conservatism. The conversation traces how Carlson’s personal history, elite upbringing paired with outsider grievance, and long-running resentments toward figures like Bill Kristol helped shape a worldview centered on anger, masculinity, and cultural backlash. Though he styles himself as anti-establishment, Tucker remains very much a Washington insider, increasingly influential even after leaving Fox News and emerging as the true heir to Rush Limbaugh, with real political impact on figures like J.D. Vance. Chuck and Zengerle also explore how Trump subsumed conservatism, why Tucker may be the figure best positioned to keep Trumpism alive after Trump, and how white male grievance now sits at the core of conservative cultural politics. From the Iraq War’s role in Carlson’s ideological shift to his calculated positioning on Israel, media, and elite power, the episode asks what “real America” conservatism even means anymore—and whether there’s any path back for Never Trumpers, institutional Republicans, or business leaders who’ve bent the knee to a movement that no longer resembles the party they once knew. Finally, Chuck answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and expands on his Hall of Fame rant in light of Bill Belichick not getting in on the first ballot.

Author and writer for The New Yorker, Jason Zengerle joins the Chuck ToddCast for a deep dive into his book “Hated By All The Right People” about Tucker Carlson’s rise—and why he’s become the clearest avatar for the unraveling of modern American conservatism. The conversation traces how Carlson’s personal history, elite upbringing paired with outsider grievance, and long-running resentments toward figures like Bill Kristol helped shape a worldview centered on anger, masculinity, and cultural backlash. Though he styles himself as anti-establishment, Tucker remains very much a Washington insider, increasingly influential even after leaving Fox News and emerging as the true heir to Rush Limbaugh, with real political impact on figures like J.D. Vance. Chuck and Zengerle also explore how Trump subsumed conservatism, why Tucker may be the figure best positioned to keep Trumpism alive after Trump, and how white male grievance now sits at the core of conservative cultural politics. From the Iraq War’s role in Carlson’s ideological shift to his calculated positioning on Israel, media, and elite power, the episode asks what “real America” conservatism even means anymore—and whether there’s any path back for Never Trumpers, institutional Republicans, or business leaders who’ve bent the knee to a movement that no longer resembles the party they once knew.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the growing controversy in Minnesota after federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, as critics from both parties question the government's response and demand an independent investigation. They analyze Kristi Noem's early comments, the reported role of Stephen Miller in shaping the narrative around the shooting, and rising frustration from lawmakers like Senator Rand Paul and Senator Murkowski calling for accountability at the top. Kander and Gupta also dive into President Trump's latest exchanges on gun policy and protester rights, the conflicting claims about federal messaging on 2A issues, and what the latest reporting reveals about ICE enforcement tactics and the impact on local communities. Plus, they discuss the wider political backlash and what it means for public trust in law enforcement and the midterm elections.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we sit down with Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, a relentless advocate against waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending. Senator Paul discusses the staggering $600 billion in fraud identified by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant and the alarming growth of fraudulent Obamacare policies that benefit insurance companies rather than American citizens.We delve into the Somali scandal in Minnesota, which sheds light on the need for common-sense reforms in government welfare programs. Senator Paul highlights a recent bipartisan effort led by Senator John Kennedy to end the fraudulent practice of issuing taxpayer-funded checks to deceased individuals, a significant step towards accountability.Additionally, Senator Paul addresses the controversial issue of welfare benefits for refugees, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to existing laws that prevent new immigrants from accessing federal assistance for five years. He plans to force a vote on this critical issue, despite the pushback from both sides of the aisle.Joining the conversation is Dr. Rebecca Grant from the Lexington Institute, who provides insights into the current dynamics in Venezuela and the implications of recent U.S. foreign policy. We also hear from the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of ADN America, Gelet Fragela, who shares her perspective on the potential for regime change in Cuba, inspired by the recent events in Venezuela.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For the past 11 years, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has released his annual “Festivus Report” to air grievances. While the name is a reference to a Seinfeld episode, the report itself is legitimate, detailing what he believes were some of the most egregious examples of the federal government wasting our tax dollars in the previous year.Since the start of the report, the dollar amount of the government “waste” he cites has grown significantly.In 2015, it was a little over a billion dollars. By 2019, it was $50 billion dollars. The latest report for 2025 showed that the figure hit a cool $1.639 trillion dollars. It's worth mentioning that a huge portion of that total comes from interest payments on the national debt, which Senator Paul now includes in his overall tally. U.S. taxpayers paid $1.22 trillion dollars in interest just to service the national debt last year. That is significantly more than the Pentagon's entire budget—and given the fact that that money is literally going to nothing other than interest, there's a good case to be made to include that figure in the overall wasted spending report.Setting the interest payments aside, let's go through nine of the most interesting examples of government waste from the report.

It's Hump Day on the Majority Report On today's program: We take a moment to compare and contrast the leadership styles of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Donald Trump.

Meanwhile in Detroit, Donald Trump visits a Ford auto plant and, for a brief moment, is within shouting distance of plant workers. The workers take advantage of the opportunity to call him a pedophile protector, to which Trump responds with a "F** YOU!" and a raised middle finger. Dania Munoz, a Nurse Practitioner at Mount Sinai Main Hospital joins Sam to provide updates on the New York State Nurses Association strike.
