Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Missouri lawmakers probably didn't think as the summer began that they'd likely return in the fall to redraw the state's eight congressional districts. The push from President Donald Trump could have huge consequences for Missouri politics.

Some Ascension Wisconsin hospitals are developing plans to outsource their ICU doctors using a staffing agency based in Tennessee. Plus, supporters of redistricting reform in Wisconsin are calling partisan gerrymandering efforts a mistake. And, what do federal changes in rules for food dyes mean for Wisconsin's ice cream makers?

Texas Democrats' Return Fled to avoid redistricting legislation. Faced legal pressure: potential arrest, fines, and threats of office vacancy. Ultimately returned, allowing the redistricting bill to proceed. Redistricting & Gerrymandering Cruz and Ferguson claim Democratic states like California, New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts are far more aggressive in gerrymandering than Republican states. They cite statistics showing disproportionate representation in Congress compared to actual vote percentages. Historical Context Cruz recounts his experience as Texas Solicitor General during a similar 2003 redistricting standoff. Legal precedent allows for forcible return of lawmakers to establish quorum. Criticism of Democratic Leaders Governors of Democrat-led states are accused of hypocrisy for criticizing Texas while benefiting from gerrymandered maps. Audio clips and quotes from figures like Governor Pritzker (IL) and Governor Hochul (NY) are used to highlight perceived contradictions. Beto O’Rourke’s Remarks A clip of Beto O’Rourke is played where he advocates for aggressive Democratic redistricting, which Cruz interprets as a call for partisan power grabs. Broader Political Commentary The hosts argue that Democrats are losing favor nationally due to unpopular policies and power-driven tactics. They cite polling data showing low favorability for the Democratic Party. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers have strategically left Texas to thwart Republicans' latest effort to further gerrymander the Congressional map ahead of next year's midterm elections. While facing bomb threats at their hotels to threats from President Trump to sic the FBI on them, Texas Democrats have so far succeeded in preventing a vote, but how far are they willing to go to win this fight?

Trump, the DC Takeover, Mid Terms,(will they happen?) JD Vance, Epstein, Redistricting and MORE!

Partisan pushes to redraw Congressional districts in favor of political parties have rocked state Capitols nationwide. Investigators are still searching for clues about what caused Monday’s deadly blast at a U.S. Steel plant south of Pittsburgh. That explosion killed two people and injured 10 others. Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman says it's too early to comment on the safety of the Clairton Coke Works. He says there's plenty of time for a full investigation and he says he refuses to speculate on the cause of the explosion - especially while those injured are still recovering. The Pennsylvania attorney general says a "cyber incident" knocked his office's website offline, as well as his agency's email accounts and telephone lines. Harrisburg Mayor Wanda Williams announced a total of $8 million is available to help developers build or enhance affordable housing in the city. Developers have 18 business days to submit full-developed plans. More than 100 pets have new homes, following the York County SPCA's Clear the Shelters event.

Hour 4 opens with the Mark Cox Morning Show team discussing the intense summer heat and sharing vacation anecdotes, including Ethan's Florida trip. The conversation shifts to local politics and corruption, highlighting shocking findings in St. Louis public schools and Missouri audits. Attorney Jeremy Rosenthal joins to discuss Adam Schiff's legal troubles, including whistleblower allegations of leaking classified information and mortgage fraud, alongside potential changes to federal marijuana classification. The hour concludes with Texas redistricting, featuring Republican congressional candidate Kurt Schwab explaining the new district boundaries, the impact on Democratic incumbents like Jasmine Crockett, and his focus on immigration, veterans' benefits, and tax policies. The segment ends with lighter fare, including excitement for an upcoming David Lee Roth concert and Taylor Swift's new album, noting cultural and political speculation around her work.

Marc welcomes Missouri State Sen. Nick Schroer to dig into the Texas redistricting fight—where four new Hispanic-majority districts are leaning Republican—and the GOP opportunity Missouri missed in 2022 to adopt a 7–1 congressional map. Schroer says Gov. Parson “had no stomach” for it, and questions whether Gov. Kehoe will act, though he predicts a September special session could pair redistricting with initiative petition reform. They slam Missouri Democrats for following Texas Democrats to Illinois during political standoffs, call out the hypocrisy of ignoring gerrymanders in blue states, and argue Republicans are now the “party of fairness” by working across the aisle when policies make sense. Schroer closes by blasting the Francis Howell superintendent's $240K payout without working a day, vowing to investigate alongside the state auditor and attorney general.

Hour 2 kicks off with Marc celebrating the back-to-school season and recognizing viewers across social media, before diving into the latest political and economic news. Top stories include the potential for Missouri to adopt a seven-to-one congressional map following Texas' redistricting, and discussion with Senator Nick Schroer on the political and fairness implications. The hour also covers the tragic death of a 61-year-old woman struck by an illegal immigrant with a DUI history, Nicole Murray's market and tech updates, and humorous insights into texting habits across generations. The segment concludes with bizarre and shocking human-interest stories, including accidents, wildlife encounters, and the first fully electronic table casino in Las Vegas.

AP correspondent Jennifer King reports that the Texas attorney general is ramping up the legal and political fight over Texas redistricting.

Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee — the youngest and first African American to hold the county's top civil legal post — says a GOP-backed Texas map would dismantle minority districts and weaken Black and Latino political power. The plan, already passed by Senate Republicans, could force mid-decade boundary changes and confuse voters.

Democrats have pushed some of the most brazen political scandals in modern history—from the Russia collusion hoax, to burying the Hunter Biden laptop, to hiding President Biden's cognitive decline—all in the name of stopping Trump. Victor Davis Hanson exposes how the Left has undermined democracy in the very process of claiming to defend it on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “  The problem, James Carville and Democrats, is that you have sabotaged democracy. And you've done things that no one has ever done before to an oppositional candidate, presidential transition, and president. And now you're furious because you're on the 40% side of every issue that's dear to you—from the trans issue to the border issue, to the crime issue, to the Green New Deal issue, to foreign policy. And you have no political power. You don't have the White House, you don't have the Congress, you don't have the Supreme Court. And your institutional power—the media, academia, the foundation—they are under assault.”

Police Department while deploying the National Guard, and instituting emergency curfews throughout the city...he acknowledged that there might be backlash but offered up the statement that “Democrats gets mugged too”. And that's true.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they thoroughly enjoy the left's hypocrisy and letting the truth slip over the redistricting fight. They also react to President Trump placing the DC police under federal control and the left trying to regain control over news narratives through the attention extraction tax.First, they dismantle the blatant hypocrisy of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker as they refuse to acknowledge their own aggressive gerrymandering. Scot and Greg also highlight former Rep. Beto O'Rourke openly admitting the fight is about raw political power, and former Attorney General Eric Holder urging Democrats to weaponize redistricting in blue states, seizing power under the guise of “saving democracy” before supposedly ending the practice altogether.Next, they react to President Trump placing the Washington, D.C, police under federal control, citing a state of emergency over crime. Greg is torn over this because he does not like the idea of the federal government taking more control over things but he also admits the DC government has been both unable and unwilling to get serious about fighting crime.  Scot says people have said for decades that something needs to be done about crime in D.C. and Trump is finally doing something about it.Finally, they laugh at a Boston Globe column bemoaning the end of taxpayer funding for PBS and NPR and calling for a new online entity that people can go to for factual information about prominent political and policy issues. In short, it's just another avenue for the left to regain the power to shape news narratives. And this would all be paid for by the Orwellian "Attention Extraction Tax."Please visit our great sponsors:Sleep on an award-winning mattress from Brooklyn Bedding.

California's governor wants to redistrict the state in a move that is wildly unpopular with the voters. Newsom admits his call for a snap election to throw out the electoral maps created by an independent commission is meant to cripple Trump's agenda by electing more democrats to the House. Stephen Miller explains how democrats started the gerrymandering free-for-all in 2008 as JB Pritzker defends his own widely criticized redistricting of Illinois by arguing Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.

Principles, Polarization, and the Perils of Partisan Shaming. Let's dive into the heated “Redistricting Wars” in Texas, California, and other states. Using David French's framework of “Is it legal? Is it ethical? Is it wise?”, Corey examines the legal, moral, and strategic angles of mid-decade redistricting. From explaining the political strategies behind Texas's proposed map changes to defending California's independent redistricting commissions, Corey makes the case for more competitive, purple districts. He also shares a candid and sometimes heated social media exchange about whether sticking to democratic principles is the right approach when political opponents “fight dirty.” *CORRECTION: Corey incorrectly referred to a conversation with Dr. Matthew D. Taylor. Corey incorrectly stated his first name as Michael instead of Matthew. What Is Discussed: Why Texas's mid-decade redistricting is technically legal but ethically questionable How California's independent commissions foster competitive districts The strategic risks of over-gerrymandering The dangers of toxic partisanship and abandoning core principles Why persuasion works better than shaming in political discourse Episode highlights: [00:02:00] Applying the “legal, ethical, wise” framework to Texas's actions [00:04:00] Why breaking redistricting norms is dangerous [00:07:00] Why Corey doubts Texas will gain five seats through gerrymandering [00:08:00] California's purple districts and independent commissions [00:12:00] Polling on overturning California's commission system [00:14:00] A revealing online exchange about principles vs. partisanship [00:21:00] The problem with labeling all Trump voters as enemies of democracy [00:27:00] Sticking to nonviolent, principled engagement during political urgency [00:33:00] Why respectful persuasion beats moral grandstanding Featured quotes: “Is it legal? Is it ethical? Is it wise? That's how I'm looking at this whole thing.” “We need more purple districts—places where voters have to talk to each other, not just live in partisan silos.” “We don't abandon our principles when it's convenient or when we think it's urgent.” “If your approach is to shame people into agreeing with you, you're not persuading anyone—you're pushing them away.” Resources mentioned: Reuters article on Texas redistricting fight: www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-led-texas-redistricting-gambit-ignites-national-arms-race-control-congress-2025-08-05/ Politicology with Ron Steslow and Mike Madrid: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cartographic-warfare-the-weekly/id1514968525?i=1000721241146
