Glenn tells the heartbreaking story of a Texas rancher who was killed by a suspected cartel IED while he was driving near his ranch. Glenn lays out the importance of standing up against the cartels, who are so willing to take the lives of our own. It's simple: The cartels are terrorists, and we must treat them as such. Glenn reacts to radical leftist Washington Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal's recent meltdown about President Trump cracking down on illegal immigration. "If we don't have this labor, our way of life will crumble." Where have you heard that argument used before? The Left's view on immigration is exploitation masked by progressive "compassion."

Our show opens with a new edition of Tara's Top 10. This is only the second one for 2025 and we love being able to jump through several news stories in quick fashion. Yesterday, I conveyed by disgust at Hamas parading the coffins of the dead children and their mother in a festival atmosphere. Before the day was over, Israel had done a forensic autopsy and discovered both kids were brutally murdered before the end of November 2023. Also, the remains of the “mom” were not her. Some other corpse was in the coffin, but it was not a DNA match to the mom of the murdered children. We then move to Ukraine and I provide a little backdrop to it's history, beginning in 2014 and then hit the Minsk II treaty. I then couple that with comments from Professor Jeffrey Sachs who begged National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan to publicly declare Ukraine would not be part of NATO. Sullivan never did. At the White House press briefing there was some discussion from reporters about being being fired. The National Park Service is playing the game of malicious compliance. Sean P. Diddy's attorney just quit the case, saying he cannot go forward. In the UK the Telegraph brought a female minority on a show to ask her how she felt about President Trump canceling all DEI programs. To the shock of the Telegraph, the woman agreed. While Sen. Adam “Lying Piece of” Schiff is out on all the shows, trying to get the mantle of Designated Liar back, he ought to be reminded that while President Biden gave him blanket immunity for his work on the J6 Reality TV Show, it does not prevent an investigation into the Russian collusion hoax. Finally, in a late night budget hearing in the Senate, it seems Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) got in an Amendment that resembles the REINS Act. It's a measure that aims to prevent agencies from creating back-door laws through regulation. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

ANDRE BELIVEAU OF THE COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION JOINS DAWN LIVE! Senior Manager of Energy Policy at the Commonwealth Foundation. - ANDRE JOINS TO BREAKDOWN THE EPA RULE THAT WILL HURT PA RESIDENTS, AND ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF FEDERAL OVERREACH...  EPA's Latest Carbon Emissions Rule Is a Raw Deal for PennsylvaniansNew federal regulation would devastate Pennsylvania's energy industry, increase electric bills, and undermine energy reliability. Harrisburg, Pa., April 26, 2024 — The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unilaterally issued a final rule establishing draconian carbon dioxide emission standards, targeting coal and new natural gas power plants. The rule, submitted this week to the Federal Register, would require 90 percent carbon capture for power-generating facilities—a change that will drastically raise Pennsylvanians' electricity costs and destroy the state's natural gas industry. Commonwealth Foundation Senior Manager of Energy Policy André Béliveau issued the following statement in response: “The EPA's final rule is another excessive radical scheme to emerge from the current administration with sweeping federal overreach." Yet another consequence of policies imposed by unelected bureaucrats, the rule aims to effectively shut down the fossil fuel industry. “Pennsylvanians deserve access to affordable and reliable energy, but the EPA's decision threatens their ability to keep the lights on and properly heat their homes. Alongside Governor Shapiro's harmful Pennsylvania Climate Emissions Reduction Act (PACER) and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), this EPA rule will wreak havoc on the state's economy. “The Keystone State is the nation's second-largest natural gas producer and the largest energy exporter. As such, Pennsylvania is uniquely vulnerable to bad energy policies intended to undermine our abundant natural gas resources. Whether those policies come from Harrisburg or Washington, DC, the impact is the same: our families and businesses pay the price. “Natural gas accounts for nearly 60 percent of Pennsylvania's electricity generation—and despite what progressives would have you believe, natural gas has reduced our state's overall emissions." Data from the Independent Fiscal Office (IFO) shows that, from 2022 to 2023, Pennsylvania successfully reduced CO2 emissions by 10.8 percent year-over-year—the largest decrease since the 1990s. All the while producing even more reliable power. How? Transitioning from coal to natural gas for power. The EPA's rule threatens to upend this positive trend and artificially shift the market toward more unreliable sources. “Policymakers should remove regulatory barriers preventing our energy industry from continuing to provide reliable, increasingly clean power. It shouldn't hamstring our state with onerous, job-killing regulations. Additionally, our congressional delegation should advance the REINS Act, a policy supported by 79 percent of Pennsylvania voters that would boost accountability and transparency in the Federal regulatory process. “Pennsylvania must be free to develop the optimal mix of energy sources at the lowest possible cost while ensuring reliability and investing in innovation. That is the path to prosperity.” André Béliveau is the Senior Manager of Energy Policy at the Commonwealth Foundation. André has extensive public policy experience. His work includes energy policy, elections law, redistricting, separation of powers, Second Amendment policy, regulatory reform, economic policy, and various elements of social policy. He is a member of the American Enterprise Institute Leadership Network and an alumnus of the State Policy Network Generation Liberty Fellowship and the E.A. Morris Fellowship for Emerging Leaders. He holds an MA in Government with an honors thesis from Johns Hopkins University and a BA cum laude in History from Marist College. His academic expertise spans various topics, including American political development, American conservatism, political thought and history, governance, social and cultural studies, and intellectual history. Prior to joining the Commonwealth Foundation, André worked for the National Taxpayers Union Foundation as its policy and outreach manager, as a policy advisor in the North Carolina General Assembly, and for the John Locke Foundation as the strategic projects and government affairs manager—where he concurrently serves as a visiting fellow. Outside his professional life, André enjoys competition shooting, traveling, hiking, camping, antiquing, playing the bagpipes, and cheering on the Carolina Hurricanes. A native of upstate New York, he resides in Washington, DC. Tune in weekdays 10 AM - 12 PM EST on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT; or on the Audacy app!

On this episode: The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act–more commonly referred to by its acronym, the REINS Act–is a bill that could cause major changes to the federal rule-making process if it passes into law. If passed, it would require legislative approval of agency regulations with certain financial or economic impacts before the regulations become effective. But what's that process look like currently, and what are the arguments for and against changing how it works?

In this episode of "American Potential," host Jeff Crank welcomes Representative Kat Cammack, who shares her deeply personal story of how government policies directly impacted her family, leading to the loss of their ranch due to an Obama-era program. Kat's narrative begins with her early life in Colorado, her experiences growing up in a working-class family, and how these shaped her understanding of government's role in citizens' lives. She recounts the pivotal moments that drove her into politics, driven by a desire to prevent others from experiencing similar governmental overreach.   Transitioning from personal loss to political action, Kat discusses her legislative efforts aimed at curbing government overreach and restoring power to the people. Highlighting her work on the REINS Act, she emphasizes the importance of Congressional oversight on regulations that have a significant economic impact, advocating for a system where such regulations require an up or down vote by Congress. This approach, she argues, is crucial for ensuring accountability and transparency in government actions, giving citizens a more direct voice in the regulatory process.   The conversation also delves into broader issues of government spending, regulatory overreach, and the need for a more informed and engaged citizenry. Kat's journey from experiencing the adverse effects of unchecked government policies to fighting for reform in Congress illustrates the power of personal stories in shaping public policy.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, we are joined by Congresswoman Laurel Lee of Florida's 15th Congressional District and Doug Kelly, CEO of the American Edge Project.-Congresswoman Laurel Lee proudly represents the 15th District of Florida. Prior to her election to the U.S. House of Representatives, she served as Florida's 36th Secretary of State under the DeSantis Administration from January 2019 to May 2022.Congresswoman Laurel Lee was sworn into office in the United States House of Representatives on January 3, 2023.  She proudly represents the 15th District of Florida which encompasses eastern Hillsborough county including Thonotosassa and Plant City, and part of Brandon, as well as parts of Pasco and Polk counties including Zephyrhills and west Lakeland.A wife, mother, and daughter of a two-star general in the United States Air Force, Laurel is committed to ensuring that the 15th District of Florida's voice is represented in Congress. Laurel grew up in a military family, born at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. As a life-long public servant, Laurel is focused on bringing common-sense solutions to Washington that will encourage job growth, limit government overreach, secure our borders, and bolster our economic and national security. Prior to her election to the U.S. House of Representatives, Laurel served as Florida's 36th Secretary of State under the DeSantis Administration from January 2019 to May 2022. During her tenure, she worked to strengthen Florida's elections infrastructure and cybersecurity defenses and ensured accurate and secure elections in the state. From 2013-2019, Laurel served as a Circuit Court Judge in Florida's Thirteenth Judicial Court in Hillsborough County, appointed by then-Governor Rick Scott.

Her main focus on these committees includes government accountability and transparency and protecting our nation from threats both abroad and at home. During her first week in office, Laurel introduced the REINS Act to remove burdensome government regulations for Floridians.

Raised in a small Michigan town that lost 43 percent of its manufacturing jobs over two decades, he saw firsthand the painful consequences of what happens when policymakers don't vigorously protect what gives our country and our communities a competitive edge.Concerned that lawmakers were making the same mistake with the U.S. technology industry, Doug joined AEP as Chief Executive Officer in September 2021 to spearhead AEP's effort to protect America's technology innovation edge.An accomplished, values-driven executive, Doug has spent his entire career as a relentless force for good in transforming lives at the national, state, and local levels.

First, Mike discusses why the Democrats' demands to pack the Supreme Court are so dangerous and why any attempt to expand the court is destined to backfire. Next, Mike discusses the Supreme Court leak and some of the secrets that he learned when he was a Supreme Court clerk. Finally, Mike explains why many more Americans have become conservative after being exposed to the realities of how much power bureaucracies like the CDC have over their lives and how the REINS Act could change this.

The Article I Initiative partnered with the Administrative Law & Regulation Practice Group and the Regulatory Transparency Project for a discussion with David Schoenbrod, New York Law School Professor and author of DC Confidential: Inside the Five Tricks of Washington. Hon. Susan Dudley, Director of the George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center, moderated the conversation, engaging Professor Schoenbrod's argument that Congress created a "regulatory mess" by commanding agencies to impose duties needed to protect the public. He contends that in doing so, legislators got credit for protecting voters but shifted to the agencies blame for the burdens of protection.Professor Schoenbrod also alleges that these same legislators later lobbied not to impose these unpopular burdens while simultaneously blaming the agencies for failing to deliver the statutorily-required protection. In recent years some members of Congress have sought on several occasions to address these problems with various bills including the "Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny" or REINS Act. Professor Schoenbrod rejects the idea that the problem originated in the agencies and offers his own alternative solutions.

MacIver's Matt Kittle fills in for Mark Belling and is joined by Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, who notes that Wisconsin is about to be the first state in the nation to pass its own state-level REINS Act. More on the REINS Act here: http://bit.ly/2rci10g More Belling here: newstalk1130.iheart.com/media/podcast…-MarkBelling/

We began by encouraging everyone to share the #trypod hashtag. The idea is to introduce someone who doesn’t listen to podcasts to the medium. Show them how to do it and obviously subscribe them to Pantsuit Politics!We began by discussing FBI Director James Comey's testimony before Congress confirming that the FBI is investigation whether or not President Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to influence the election. We also discussed the AP's revelation that Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign manager, was paid millions by a Putin ally.Karen on Twitter had a great read of the situation: Illegality all around T. He was likely influenced by ppl with specific agendas tailored to appeal to his world view and vanity and so he is influenced. Also think he probably willfully "ignorant" of crimes around him but I bet we will never be able to pin any intentional criminal activity on him.We then shared Beth's interview with Katherine Gypson, reporter for Voice of America, who was in the room for both Comey's testimony and Representative Devin Nunnes's press conference. We discussed Judge Gorsuch's confirmation hearings and growing concerns about his views on torture and statements about women at law firms. We also discussed the Democratic party's plans to filibuster his confirmation. We moved on to talk about two abortion laws that recently passed in Texas and several pieces of feedback we've gotten related to abortion. We talked about the proposed Reins Act and whether or not the Congress really needs approval over so much regulation. We wrapped up with feedback from Shannon on the difference between how we discuss terrorism when the terrorist is white. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
